'Victory for election integrity': Leftist state forced to remove 372,000 ineligible voters from rolls * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
In a state where all mail-in ballot elections open the door for fraud, the ineligible voter names now have been removed as the result of a lawsuit by government watchdog Judicial Watch, which reported this week on its accomplishment.
"This is a major Judicial Watch victory for election integrity," said organization President Tom Fitton. "Our lawsuit caused removal of 372,000 outdated registrations from Colorado's voter rolls—which is a massive step toward cleaner elections."
On Colorado highways, it’s now illegal to obey the speed limit and illegal not to.
In Colorado, the highest posted speed limit is 75 mph. - theAspenbeat
Show me the person . . .
I can live with that, even though I think 85 mph might be better and perhaps just as safe.
This speed limit of 75 means that it’s against the law to go faster than that...
This speed limit of 75 means that it’s against the law to go faster than that...
- But now, Colorado has announced that if you go the 75-mph speed limit in the left lane, or even if you violate the speed limit by going 85 mph, and people stack up behind you who want to go 95, then you’re violating the law by impeding traffic.
And you’ll be ticketed for it...
So, now we have two contradictory laws.
So, now we have two contradictory laws.
- The first sets the speed limit.
- The second requires you to violate the first...

The Canadian federal government under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau legalized medically assisted suicide nationwide in 2016.
As critics predicted, the state-facilitated suicide program — referred to as medical assistance in dying — was grossly liberalized in a short of period of time, maximizing both the number of accepted rationales and the number of those killed.
