Colorado lawmakers have agreed on a compromise measure to combat distracted driving on roadways, solidifying a ban on the hand-held use of cellphones behind the wheel that is moving toward passage in the final hours of this year’s legislative session. Negotiators faced pressure from law enforcement officials to make sure the ban was enforceable — and from defense attorneys and some lawmakers to include limits so police couldn’t pull over practically anybody. Transportation officials see distracted driving as a rising peril on the road.

  • Hunter Biden Found Guilty on Gun Charges
    Time, Tuesday - 06/11/2024 - 12:02 PM

    For the first time, a sitting President’s son has been convicted of a felony in a criminal trial. A federal jury in Delaware on Tuesday found Hunter Biden guilty for lying about his drug use when buying a gun in 2018. Prosecutors had presented the jury with photos, testimony and messages that showed Biden had a .38 caliber Colt Cobra revolver for about 11 days during a period he had previously acknowledged he had been struggling with drug addiction. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The jury deliberated for about three hours over two days and found Biden guilty of three felonies including making a false claim on a gun purchase form that he was not a drug user, lying to a federally licensed firearms dealer, and unlawfully possessing the weapon for 11 days.

  • Hannity Floats Notion That Trump Should Back Out Of The Debate
    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 06/11/2024 - 10:00 AM

    You know Hannity didn't do this without being directed to by Dear Leader. On this Monday's Hannity, while continuing to push the ridiculous notion that Biden will be replaced as the Democratic presidential nominee, and after being shot down on that assertion by his guest Mark Penn, Hannity suggested that maybe Trump should back out of the June debate after repeating the right-wing attack on Biden that he was supposedly "jacked up" during the State of the Union address. HANNITY: It's obvious this guy is a mumbling bumbling stumbling fumbling, you know, can barely string sentences together, however, I do take Tomi's admonition really seriously.
