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 ...

This is in Grand Rapids, Michigan

👀 Someone sent this to me from the Grand Rapids YMCA.

They are working on a coed locker room, and the sign says, “We’re going co-ed. We know your mom wouldn’t approve.”

It also reads, “Shower in your bathing suit, not your birthday suit.”

For clarity, the YMCA says there will still be separate men’s and women’s locker rooms.

Still, that messaging caught my attention. The “your mom wouldn’t approve” line is… unusual.

Worth clarifying this. The federal changes never meant vaccines were being taken away or made unavailable. They adjusted recommendations, not access, and vaccines remain available for anyone who wants them through doctors and existing programs.

Government-forced EV transition costs GM $7.1 BILLION

The government forced transition to electric vehicles is costing General Motors billions.

Following EV sales that dropped off by 43% in the fourth quarter of 2025, GM announced in a filing with the Securities ad Exchange Commission on Thursday it’s bet on EVs will result in a $7.1 billion hit in 2026, The Associated Press reported.

“With the termination of certain consumer tax incentives and the reduction in the stringency of emissions regulations, industry-wide consumer demand for EVs in North America began to slow in 2025,” the company said in the filing cited by The financial Times. “As a result, GM proactively reduced EV capacity.”

About $6 billion in losses includes $1.8 billion in non-cash impairments and charges and another $4.2 billion in supplier settlements, cancelation fees, and other charges. The other $1.1 billion stems from a service charge to restructure its business in China, according to the Times. Click here to read.

 

Florida breaks record for highest graduation rate in state history, education leaders praise strong leadership

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.- Florida’s high school graduation rate hit a record 92.2% for the 2024-25 school year, a milestone education leaders say reflects the state’s strong focus on student success under Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Speaking during his State of the State address Tuesday, DeSantis framed the achievement as proof that high expectations, accountability, and support for schools can deliver real results for students.

“Florida’s historic graduation rate reflects the power of Governor DeSantis’ leadership, clear expectations, and unwavering commitment to student success,” said Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas. “These results show what can happen when we hold schools to high standards and prepare every student for life after graduation.” Click here to read more.

Assaults against ICE up 1300%, vehicular attacks up 3200%, death threats up 8000%

Assaults against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are up 1,300%, vehicular attacks are up 3,200% and death threats are up 8,000%, the Department of Homeland Security said after a U.S. citizen was shot and killed during an alleged vehicular attack in Minneapolis this week.

Federal authorities argue the shooting was justified and in self-defense. Local and state officials say otherwise.

One day after the Minneapolis shooting, two Venezuelan nationals were shot by a Border Patrol agent after they attempted to run him over with their vehicle in Portland, Ore., the Department of Homeland Security said. DHS also describes the shooting as self-defense and justified.

The two Venezuelans and alleged Tren de Aragua members “weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland. Click here to read more.

 

Undercover video prompts suspension of Secret Service agent

WASHINGTON - The Secret Service has placed an agent, who served on Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail, on administrative leave and suspended his clearance after he was captured in an undercover video talking about sensitive parts of his job.

In the video, he is seen and heard talking to a woman he had met for a date, discussing serving in the VP’s security detail, including the movement of Vance to and from his Naval Observatory home, and showing his badge after she asked.

This incident is under investigation, and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked,” Deputy Secret Service Director Matthew Quinn said in a statement to NewsNation.

Michigan Dept. of Education Approved Resolution Supporting Immigration Enforcement Limits in Schools and Beyond
Measure references bills restricting immigration enforcement as department weighs in on federal policy

LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Education voted 5 to 1 this week to approve a resolution stating that “no child should fear going to school or stepping outside of their home that their family will be torn apart,” while formally citing pending legislation that would limit state and local involvement in federal immigration enforcement.

The resolution references Senate Bills 508, 509 and 510, which are currently before the Michigan Legislature. The bills collectively propose changes to how state and local agencies interact with federal immigration authorities.

Senate Bill 508 would restrict immigration enforcement actions at designated “sensitive locations,” including schools, hospitals, places of worship and courthouses, unless a court order is issued or there is an imminent threat to public safety.

 

Senate Bill 509 would prohibit state and local government entities from sharing information that could be used for federal immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

Senate Bill 510 would require law enforcement officers conducting enforcement actions to be clearly identifiable and generally prohibit the use of masks or personal disguises, with limited exceptions such as undercover operations.

The resolution does not carry the force of law, but its adoption signals support within the Department of Education for the legislation and places the department on record regarding immigration-related policy issues.

 

The vote comes as immigration enforcement practices are receiving renewed national attention following a fatal shooting in Minneapolis involving a federal immigration officer. In that case, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a Minnesota woman during a federal operation. Federal authorities have said they are conducting the investigation, while Minnesota officials have raised concerns about transparency and oversight.

While the Minnesota incident was not cited during the Michigan vote, it has intensified public debate nationwide over immigration enforcement tactics and the role of state and local institutions in responding to federal actions.

The Senate bills referenced in the resolution remain under consideration in Lansing and have not yet received final legislative approval.
