If I had to boil down the political wisdom I’ve learned over four decades of observing, studying, writing, and debating, it would be this… Life in Rural America (which is where Republican Trump voters live and govern), is clean, safe and racially tolerant. Most places in America where life is dirty, polluted, dangerous, violent, and plagued with racial hate and race riots, are cities that are almost exclusively populated by and governed by Democrats. Outside of these Democrat-run cities, America is peaceful, safe, clean, and racially tolerant. What’s more, if you remove these Democrat-run cities from our national statistics, you will find an America that is overwhelmingly peaceful, safe, clean, and racially tolerant. Nevertheless, Democrats and their fake-media allies still blame Republicans for all of their problems. According to them, it is Republicans who are responsible for racism, pollution, and gun violence — even though, out here where we all live, our air, water, … [Read more...] about Nolte: Rural Trump Voters Already Live in the Safe, Tolerant Utopia Leftists Claim to Want

The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday agreed to review an unusual case in which a man convicted of robbery claims he should have been allowed to claim self-defense. Edward Kevin DeGreat’s attorneys have already persuaded the Colorado Court of Appeals that he has the right to claim self-defense. In 2015, the appeals court sent the case back to Arapahoe County District Court for a new trial. The Colorado Attorney General’s Office appealed the decision to the state high court, contending that DeGreat was properly convicted and sentenced to prison. DeGreat is currently being held in the Bent County Correctional Facility, where he is serving a 24-year prison sentence for witness tampering in connection to the robbery case. DeGreat and the Metro Taxi driver, Ioan Feier, give different versions of what happened late at night on May 14, 2008, when the driver arrived at the suspect’s home on Colfax Avenue. DeGreat claims he told the taxi driver that he was $2 short of the $14.35 … [Read more...] about Colorado Supreme Court to decide whether accused robber can claim self-defense

BOULDER — Aurora Wilkins should be nearing her first birthday. Her parents should be watching her take her first steps. Her mother should know what her daughter’s smile looks like. Instead, Michelle Wilkins stood before a judge on Friday and asked for the woman who cut Aurora from her womb to receive the harshest punishment possible. Chief District Judge Maria Berkenkotter sentenced Dynel Lane to 100 years in prison for beating Wilkins unconscious and cutting her 7-month-old fetus from her body. The details that weighed heaviest in Berkenkotter’s decision weren’t the things that Lane did. They were the things that Michelle Wilkins never got to do. District Attorney Stan Garnett’s voice shook when he described the first words Wilkins never got to hear. Aurora’s parents will never get to scoop her off a grocery store floor during a tantrum or hang her artwork on the refrigerator, Berkenkotter said. “They won’t get to watch as she decides who she is or what she wants to do … [Read more...] about Judge sentences Dynel Lane to 100 years for attack
