DENVER, COL - Now that Colorado’s semiautomatic firearm ban has passed the senate all eyes are on the house, where the bill must pass in order to make its way to Gov. Jared Polis’s (D) desk.

Breitbart News noted that the ban passed in the Colorado Senate by a vote of 19-15 — and all 19 votes in favor of the measure were cast by Democrats.

The ban covers America’s most popular rifle, the AR-15, as well as numerous semiautomatic shotguns and pistols.

The bill says:

The bill defines a “specified semiautomatic firearm” as a semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated semiautomatic handgun with a detachable magazine. The bill prohibits knowingly manufacturing, distributing, transferring, selling, or purchasing a specified semiautomatic firearm; except that a person may transfer a specified semiautomatic firearm to an heir, an individual residing in another state, or a federally licensed firearm dealer.

The bill passed the Senate after a deal was struck to allow exemptions to the ban for would-be gun buyers who cooperate with special prepurchase conditions and requirements, including training and a vetting process similar to that required for a concealed carry permit. Click here to read more.

TIMMINS, Ontario - A doctor learned he was having a heart attack while treating a cardiac patient who was experiencing the same symptoms the doctor had displayed for months.

According to a press release from Timmins and District Hospital (TDH), Dr. Chris Loreto had been experiencing intense chest pains for over four months, which he chalked up to acid reflux. Specifically, the pain would reach its highest intensity during exercise and the acid reflux medication his doctor prescribed was not helping.

The pain came to a head on Nov. 12 while Loreto was playing hockey, but he "shrugged it off," according to TDH, the hospital Loreto worked for.

"He went to work the next morning," the release said. "Near the end of his shift, a patient had a massive heart attack which Dr. Loreto jumped in to help with. Afterwards, he spoke to the patient's wife to learn more about his symptoms leading up to this event. Both he and the patient were on the same medication for acid reflux."

 

BOSTON, MASS - Experts from Yale University have discovered an alarming syndrome linked to the mRNA Covid vaccines.

The previously-unknown condition - dubbed 'post-vaccination syndrome' - appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus and exercise intolerance.

Some sufferers also show distinct biological changes, including differences in immune cells and the presence of coronavirus proteins in their blood, years after taking the shot.

The condition also appears to reawaken a dormant virus in the body called Epstein-Barr which can cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes and nerve issues.

The full results of the small study have not yet been published, and the Yale experts emphasized the results 'are still a work in progress.'

Yet the findings, from a well-respected institution, suggest more research on post-vaccination syndrome is needed, independent experts said.

The next phase of the research will be to ascertain how widespread the condition is and who is most at risk. Click here to read more.

 

ATLANTA, GA _ A Georgia woman is suing a fertility clinic after she says she was implanted with a stranger’s embryo.

Krystena Murray, 38, gave birth to a healthy black baby boy in December 2023, following IVF treatments. However, Murray is white, as is the male donor, who has “dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.”

After the woman says she told Coastal Fertility Specialists (CFS) of their error, the clinic notified the baby’s biological parents, who sued Murray for custody of the child. Murray says she gave up the five-month-old baby instead of continuing to pursue a legal fight she was told she couldn’t win. Murray has not seen the baby since.

“To carry a baby, to fall in love with him, to deliver him, to build that uniquely special bond between a mother and a child, all to have him taken away,” Murray said at a press conference on Tuesday. “I’ll never be the same woman, I’ll never fully heal or completely move on and part of me will always long for my son.” Click here to read more.

 

DENVER, COL - Anne Marie Hochhalter, who was shot and paralyzed in the Columbine High School mass shooting in 1999, died on Sunday of natural causes, Fox News Digital has learned. She was 43.

Hochhalter, one of 23 people who were injured and survived the Littleton, Colorado, massacre, was confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of her life due to her injuries and is being remembered as a "pillar of strength" in her community.

She was shot in the back and chest as she ate with friends in the school’s cafeteria. Twelve students and one teacher were killed in the attack when twelfth-grade students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold opened fire. The shooters then killed themselves. Click here to read more.

BREAKING: Charges Dropped Against Michigan Duck Rescue Founders After DNR Case Collapses

The legal battle between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has come to an end. with all charges dismissed against the couple who run the operation.

Matthew and Teresa Lyson, founders of the Salem Township sanctuary, had faced six criminal charges each after state officials accused them of keeping and caring for waterfowl without proper permits. This week, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the cases in their entirety, following months of public scrutiny and growing political pressure.

“This is great news,” Lyson told Keeping It Real. “All charges against me and Teresa are 100 percent gone. It’s a done deal, and we get to start new.”

Background of the Case

The Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has operated for nearly two decades, caring for injured or abandoned ducks, geese, and other waterfowl — many of which suffer from “angel wing,” a deformity often caused by people feeding them improper food. The Lysons say their work ...

School board bans clapping....seriously

ALPENA, Mich. — A new rule banning applause and other displays of emotion at Alpena Public Schools board meetings has sparked pushback from community members who say the policy infringes on their free speech rights.

The board recently adopted a policy prohibiting clapping, cheering, booing, or any demonstrations from audience members during meetings. Board President Eric Lawson said the restriction is meant to prevent disruptions and maintain order.

“We’re doing our best to show respect to you all and make sure you have adequate time for your comments,” Lawson said during a recent meeting. “Please show the board a little respect as well.”

Not everyone in attendance agreed. Several residents voiced frustration, including one woman who argued that clapping constitutes symbolic speech protected under the First Amendment.

“Clapping is a universal symbolic action that typically expresses approval,” she said. “Up until one week ago, clapping was a regular occurrence at these ...

Bill to Stop DNR From Trespassing on Private Property Passes Michigan House
New proposal targets reports of DNR officers trespassing on private property.
LANSING — State Rep. Dave Prestin, R-Cedar River, announced Tuesday that his legislation to stop the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) from trespassing on private property without a warrant has passed the House with bipartisan support.
The plan would require DNR conservation officers to obtain a search warrant before entering private land, except in cases where they have permission, see evidence of a crime in plain view, or face exigent circumstances — the same standard followed by most other law enforcement agencies in the state.

 

 

Prestin said the change is needed to protect landowners from what he described as years of DNR overreach.
“The DNR insists that they only enter with probable cause, but that is just a flat-out lie,” Prestin said. “They never bother to explain to anyone what their probable cause was, because in most instances, it came from an anonymous 1-800 tip line that serves as a convenient method for conservation officers to weaponize neighbor and land disputes.”
The Cedar River lawmaker said he’s heard numerous complaints from residents about conservation officers “hopping fences, cutting locks, placing surveillance cameras, and walking 60 to 80 acres onto land” despite posted “no trespassing” signs.
Prestin shared examples of alleged incidents, including officers entering property after hearing gunshots, harassing hunters over bait containers, and cutting locks to gain access without notifying landowners or paying for damages.

“When people get the courage to stand up to the department and speak out against them, the department issues a warrant for their arrest,” Prestin added. “Too many hunters and property owners are being harassed on their own land.”
The DNR has long cited the “Open Fields Doctrine” — a legal precedent allowing limited entry onto private land without a warrant — as justification for its actions. Prestin’s plan would effectively close that loophole in Michigan, aligning DNR procedures with other state law enforcement agencies.
“This bill simply requires the department to put it on paper: Knock on the door or get a warrant,” Prestin said. “The DNR will still be able to protect our public resources without infringing on the rights of the public.”
The legislation now heads to the state Senate for consideration.

Trump: Don’t Attack Liberal Nonprofits

The leader of one of the country’s most influential right-leaning nonprofits said that he has cautioned White House officials against pursuing investigations of liberal philanthropic groups without clear evidence of legal wrongdoing.

Lawson Bader, the president and CEO of DonorsTrust, told The Free Press that the stream of retaliatory rhetoric since Charlie Kirk’s assassination “has the potential to weaponize philanthropy in a way that is antithetical to philanthropic freedom.” Anyone who threatens the nonprofit status of law-abiding organizations “narrows the important boundary between citizen and state,” Bader said.

‘Mass chaos’: Duffy warns Transportation Department might be forced to close some airspace

WASHINGTON (TNND) — U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said there might be “mass chaos” in the skies if air traffic controllers miss a second round of paychecks next week amid the ongoing government shutdown.

Many of the controllers said, ‘A lot of us can navigate missing one paycheck. Not everybody, but a lot of us can. None of us can manage missing two paychecks,’” Duffy said on Tuesday.

So, if you bring us to a week from today, Democrats, you will see mass chaos. You will see mass flight delays. You’ll see mass cancellations, and you may see us close certain parts of the airspace because we just cannot manage it because we don’t have air traffic controllers,” he added.

On Sunday alone, Duffy said 46% of flights were delayed due to staffing issues in air traffic control towers. Click here to read more.

Nebraska’s cruel crackdown threatens vital care for adults with developmental disabilities
