Colorado: Democrat Bill to Decriminalize Prostitution Dies amid Opposition and Lack of Support

A bill that would have decriminalized prostitution in Colorado was killed this week because it did not get the votes needed.

It was opposed by conservatives.

According to state Sen. Lisa Cutter (D), the bill did not get enough votes to make it out of committee, Denver 7 reported Tuesday.

The Colorado General Assembly’s website identified it as SB26-097,  titled “Decriminalize Adult Commercial Sexual Activity.”

Per its summary:

The bill requires the statewide decriminalization of commercial sexual activity among consenting adults. It declares that decriminalizing commercial sexual activity among consenting adults is a matter of statewide concern and expressly preempts statutory or home rule city, town, city and county, or county ordinances, resolutions, regulations, or codes criminalizing commercial sexual activity.

The bill repeals the state criminal offenses of prostitution, soliciting for prostitution, keeping a place of prostitution, patronizing a prostitute, and prostitute making display. It also repeals the offense of pandering when it involves knowingly arranging or offering to arrange a situation that permits a person to practice prostitution.

Meanwhile, the Daily Signal reported one of the Colorado lawmakers, a Democrat, was abandoning his own bill to shield those involved in prostitution from having to testify.

“State Sen. Nick Hinrichsen, the main sponsor of SB26-097, told the Colorado Sun that his bill lacks the necessary support to clear the Senate Judiciary Committee, so he will ask to delay the measure until after the 2026 legislative session, effectively killing the bill,” the outlet stated.

Palantir CEO Says AI Will Take Power Away From Democratic Voters and Toward Working-Class Men

Palantir CEO Alex Karp has said that artificial intelligence (AI) could shift economic influence away from highly educated voters who tend to support Democrats and toward vocationally trained, working-class men.

In an interview with CNBC, Karp discussed the broader societal impact of artificial intelligence and how it is expected to transform employment.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less.”

“And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, uh voters,” Karp said.

“So these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society,” he said.

“To make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”

Ben Affleck Once Criticized AI, Now Netflix Is Buying His AI Startup For $600 Million

Ben Affleck—who has previously warned about the risks artificial intelligence poses to Hollywood—has sold his own AI filmmaking startup to Netflix in a deal that could reach $600 million, according to Bloomberg.

The cash portion of the acquisition is smaller, with additional payments tied to performance targets, but it still ranks among the largest AI-focused deals by a major studio.

The startup, InterPositive, developed software designed to help directors edit footage after filming, such as removing stray objects or changing elements in the background. The tools are intended to work with existing film rather than generate entirely new content. Director David Fincher has already used the technology on an upcoming movie starring Brad Pitt.

Netflix’s purchase highlights how studios are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to streamline production and reduce costs. Rivals such as Amazon and The Walt Disney Company are also exploring AI tools for film and television development.

Bloomberg writes that Affleck built InterPositive with backing from RedBird Capital Partners and initially kept the project quiet before seeking investors in 2025. He has argued the technology should function as a controlled filmmaking aid: the system trains only on footage from a specific film and doesn’t scrape outside movies or generate new works independently.

CNN’s Hack Abby Phillip Forced to Issue Humiliating On-Air Correction After FALSELY Claiming Islamist Terror Attack in NYC Targeted Socialist Mayor Mamdani

Far-left host Abby Phillip was caught red-handed spreading a massive lie this week, forced into a humiliating on-air correction after she shamelessly lied about an Islamist terror attack in New York City.

In a desperate attempt to smear House Republicans, Phillip claimed that an ISIS-linked bombing was targeted at NYC’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the chaos unfolded on Saturday when 18-year-old Amir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Nick, launched homemade bombs during an anti-Islam protest organized by former January 6 political prisoner Jake Lang, who was pardoned by President Trump last year.

According to the New York Post, authorities said the homemade device was constructed using sports drink bottles packed with triacetone triperoxide (TATP)—a highly unstable explosive widely favored by terrorists and often referred to as the “Mother of Satan.”

Federal authorities are digging deeper, revealing that these aren’t just misguided kids; they’re part of a broader network with alarming links to foreign radicals.

Following the attack, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) responded with an extremely provocative comment that infuriated the left: Muslims do not belong in the United States.

“Muslims don’t belong in American society,” Ogles wrote on X. “Pluralism is a lie.”

Connecticut Citizens Break the State: Midnight Revolt on Guns, Vaccines, and Homeschooling Sends Public Health Committee Scrambling to Lawyers

In the early hours of Thursday, March 12, 2026, the Public Health Committee paused after midnight as members left their seats to consult with lawyers regarding the earlier rule requiring hearings to close at 12:15 a.m as more citizens lined up to testify. Despite the consultation, the attorneys could not seem to unwind the earlier vote that ended public testimony at that time. A point of order was called to request an extension, but the vote had already run out the clock for the public. Those who remained sat quietly to hear the final outcome, as the discussion turned back to the attorneys. In effect, the public broke them.  A public filibuster!

An electric revolt hit the Connecticut Capitol as 6,000+ parents, homeschoolers, and citizens packed the building and forced lawmakers to sit until midnight, unleashing hours of blistering testimony on guns, vaccines, homeschooling, and state overreach. At the center was the Public Health Committee, overwhelmed by citizens demanding informed consent, the right to refuse vaccines, and the right not to feed their children into a failed Department of Children and Families that has already shattered too many families.

Parents and homeschoolers warned that proposals tying homeschooling to DCF oversight presume guilt and hand more power to an agency with a long record of missed abuse and wrongful interference. They described homeschooling as a lifeline from failing schools, bullying, and ideological agendas, not an evasion of responsibility, and asked why families seeking to educate their children at home should be treated as suspects instead of partners. AbleChild submitted testimony highlighting the horrific murder of a child under DCF care and a mother who was herself a product of the same system—as a stark warning of what this failed agency is already producing.

Again and again, ordinary people invoked God and the Constitution, insisting that children belong first to their families, not the state, and that medical decisions and education are matters of conscience, not government coercion. Many tied gun rights into the same struggle, arguing that a government that cannot safeguard children in its own systems has no moral authority to disarm responsible citizens or force medical interventions on unwilling families.

By midnight it was clear this was no routine hearing but a public vote of no confidence in Connecticut’s Democrat‑run system. Whether the bills advance or not, lawmakers were put on notice: families are done being managed from above, and they are willing to show up, stay late, and speak out to defend their children and their God‑given rights. AbleChild was thrilled to see parents finally stand up to the Democrat supermajority and refuse to surrender their children, their conscience, or their God‑given rights. At the same time, Republican Party Chairman Ben Proto must be held accountable for failing to secure any real balance in Connecticut’s elections, helping entrench a political class now openly at war with the families it is supposed to serve.

‘Equity for All Patients’: Arizona Senate Moves to End Vaccine Incentives for Doctors

The Arizona Senate this week approved legislation that would bar insurance companies — including Medicaid — from reimbursing physicians at different rates based on whether their patients “refuse one or more vaccines,” according to the Arizona Mirror.

Lawmakers passed the bill Tuesday by a 16-13 party-line vote. The measure now moves to the Arizona House of Representatives. If approved there, it would head to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs for consideration.

Bill sponsor Sen. Janae Shamp, a Republican nurse, said the proposal is a response to parents who say they struggle to find pediatric care for their children if they don’t follow the full childhood vaccination schedule from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“This specifically comes from a lot of parents asking for help for their children to be able to go to a pediatrician’s office when they don’t meet the entire vaccine schedule minimums to go to a practice,” Shamp told colleagues on the Senate floor. “This is about equity for all patients.”

Shamp previously said she lost her nursing job after refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.

‘Bill protects families’ rights to make informed decisions’

Ursula Conway, president emeritus of Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) Arizona Chapter, said the legislation reflects broader debates about medical choice and physician incentives.

Shamp’s bill reflects “Arizona’s commitment to each individual’s right to make their own healthcare decisions,” Conway said.

She said some physicians receive financial bonuses tied to vaccination rates within their practices. She argued that those incentives can influence how doctors treat families who decline shots.

“Consequently, some practitioners choose to restrict their practice to those families who agree to the recommended vaccine schedule, thus securing their bonus income,” she said.

Families who don’t follow the schedule face difficulty finding care, according to Conway.

They censored debate on the censorship bill

On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by our old friend Andrew Lawton, former independent journalist and current Member of Parliament for Elgin—St. Thomas—London South. Andrew sits on the Justice Committee, where they just shut down debate on Bill C-9, the Liberal government’s latest censorship bill.

They are literally censoring debate on a censorship bill! You can’t make this stuff up.

Andrew walks us through his attempts to amend the bill that removes religious exemptions for sincerely held views, which were shut down and rejected by the Liberal government. Andrew discusses the committee process and how the Liberals were able to push this through.

Candice and Andrew discuss the various attempts by the Liberal government to censor Canadians and crack down on free speech, which historically aims to silence their critics rather than address real concerns of hate and violence in Canada. On that topic, they discuss the terrifying string of terrorist intimidation currently aimed at Iranian dissidents and Jewish Canadians in Toronto, where Liberal laws have done nothing to protect these communities.

Andrew notes that C-9 would not have stopped these attacks, and notes the danger of having an estimated 700 members of Iran’s secret police force, the IRGC, active in Canada.

Finally, Candice and Andrew discuss the CBC, in light of the recent testimony from former host Travis Dhanraj. Andrew reconfirms the Conservative Party commitment to defund the state broadcaster.

Eric Swalwell claims he lives in California — neighbors say they’ve never seen him

In the face of a lawsuit and growing verbal attacks on the campaign trail, Rep. Eric Swalwell — the Democratic frontrunner in the California governor’s race — insists he’s kept a home in the state for nearly nine years while serving in Congress.

But that would be news to Swalwell’s neighbors.

Five people who live on the quiet Livermore cul-de-sac where Swalwell claims to have lived since 2017 told The California Post on Wednesday that they have never met the congressman.

“I’ve never seen him,” said Gita Prusty, who noted she’s lived on Michell Court for five years.

Prusty’s home is one of seven on the cul-de-sac where Swalwell has claimed residency, and she wasn’t the only one confused when shown his photo.

Foreign Hacker Cracked Into FBI’s Epstein Files In 2023, Was ‘Disgusted’ At Child Sexual Abuse

A foreign hacker broke into a server at the FBI’s New York Field Office and ‘compromised files relating to the FBI’s investigation of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’ in 2023, Reuters reports. 

According to the FBI, the intrusion was an “isolated” cyber incident – though not to be confused with a different cybersecurity oncident involving a sensitive internal network used to manage wiretaps and FISA warrants. 

“The FBI restricted access to the malicious actor and rectified the network. The investigation remains ongoing, so we do not have further comments to provide at this time,” the agency said in a statement. 

Reuters‘ source claimed that the intrusion ‘appeared’ to be carried out by an individual cybercriminal as opposed to a foreign government (source: trust us bro, we’re here to help). 

The New Hack

The official story: The hack occurred after a server at the Child Exploitation Forensic Lab in the FBI’s NY Field Office was inadvertently left vulnerable by Special Agent Aaron Spivack – who was attempting to figure out how to handle digital evidence within the bureau’s system. 

A timeline written by Spivack and included in the large cache of Epstein documents released earlier this year said the break-in happened ​on February 12, 2023. It was discovered the following day when Spivack turned on his computer and discovered a text file warning him that his network had been compromised, according to that document.

Further investigation turned up traces ‌of unusual activity ⁠on the server, the document said, adding that the activity “included combing through certain files pertaining to the Epstein investigation.” –Reuters

The report does not say which specific files were accessed, whether the hacker actually downloaded anything, or who the hacker was, nor could Reuters determine what overlap, if any, the affected files had with the recent DOJ Epstein file drops.

The hacker expressed ‘disgust at the presence of child abuse images on the device and left a message threatening to turn its owner over to the FBI,’ not realizing that they had accessed the actual FBI. They eventually convinced the hacker, who joined a video chat where they flashed their law enforcement credentials in front of a web camera. 

Spivak says he’s being made “a scapegoat for the intrusion,” and that conflicting FBI policies and poor guidance around informational technology were to blame.  

Interestingly, Spivak was mentioned in an Epstein files email from after the financier’s death, which was sent to multiple recipients. In, someone says:

Hi team,

Aaron Spivak from the FBI (cc’d) has a new file for the Maxwell case that he needs to send to us. Would one of you please coordinate with him to get it via USAfx, then let me know when we have it?

Thanks so much,

EFTA00154980

The FBI breach was first reported by CNN and Reuters on February 17, however the Epstein connection was made by the French magazine Marianne.

Gun Control’s Endgame: No Guns for Anyone

Gun control advocates do not just oppose civilian gun ownership; they also argue that guns in the hands of police make people less safe.

In January, a Border Patrol agent in Portland shot and wounded two Venezuelan nationals who belonged to the violent Tren de Aragua gang after they allegedly tried to run agents over with their vehicle. In response, Kris Brown, president of Brady United, tweeted the following:

“We don’t know the details behind the shootings of 2 people by a Border Patrol agent in Portland. But I know one thing for certain: whether in the hands of federal officers or everyday Americans, guns do not make us safer. Yet Trump is reshaping our country based on this lie.”

What were the Border Patrol agents supposed to do when an illegal alien with a criminal record tries to run over an agent? How are unarmed agents supposed to apprehend and detain violent gang members?

Currently on its website, Brady United explains: “Why Police violence is gun violence … As we work to tackle the gun violence epidemic in America, we cannot ignore police violence or its devastating effects.”

The same claim is made repeatedly by other gun control groups.

“Police violence is gun violence and that’s why our movement must be responsive as well,” declares Shannon Watts, president for Moms Demand Action.

“Police violence is gun violence,” proclaims Gabby Giffords, with the Giffords Law Center.

These last two statements are from 2021 and 2020, so their opposition to police having guns isn’t a new focus.
