Arrest Made in Sept. 29 Jefferson County Road-Rage Shooting-Immigration Status Ignored

Authorities in Jefferson County have arrested 27-year-old Rafael Jose Mateo Ruiz in connection with a road-rage shooting on Interstate 70.

According to investigators, Tony Polisi, a man in his 70s, and his wife were driving home to Arvada from Golden when an altercation occurred with the driver of a red car near Colfax Avenue and eastbound I-70. Polisi passed the vehicle, after which the driver opened fire, striking Polisi's car five times. One bullet passed through the driver's seat and struck Polisi in the back, causing a non-life-threatening injury to his lung.

Investigators located and arrested Ruiz without incident in Thornton using traffic camera footage, license plate readers, and cell location data. Ruiz was booked on multiple charges, including attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault.

Why did the news skip the suspect's immigration status? Probably because they don't want to paint Democrats in a bad light for creating a sanctuary state.

We don't have to live this way. Democrats created the conditions that led to this.

Democrats refuse to admit it, but here’s the truth: illegals are voting and interfering in our elections.

If we don’t have secure elections, we don’t have a country.

Kristen Welker is gushing over the idea of America having a Muslim President and trying to hint that Abdul El-Sayed should run.

The media would love nothing more than to have someone with a worldview that is incompatible with western civilization in the Oval Office.

They want the total destruction of this country.

Same child. Same smile gone. Eyes that used to look straight are now crossed after his 15-month vaccines MMR, DTaP and Hep A.

Crossing of the eyes (strabismus) is a listed vaccine injury. There are also documented cases of cranial 6th nerve palsy occurring after vaccines. The Merck MMR package insert itself lists ocular palsy as a reported adverse reaction.

Doctors call it coincidence... parents get told to wait it out or buy glasses. When the sudden change lines up exactly with the appointment for vaccines, coincidence is not an explanation.

This is vaccine nerve damage. Parents know when their child has been damaged and injured.

In Colorado, we don’t have elected representation.
We have insider SELECTED political insiders elevating themselves to rule us.

Amendment 87 is being sold as:

“97% of Coloradans get a tax cut.”

Technically? That’s largely true at the start.

But that’s also the bumper-sticker version of a much bigger rewrite of Colorado’s tax system.

So let’s talk about the part that doesn’t fit in the campaign text message.

Colorado currently has a 4.4% flat income tax.

Amendment 87 replaces that with six marginal brackets:

• 3.7% up to $25K
• 4.2% to $100K
• 4.4% to $500K
• 7.4% to $750K
• 7.9% to $1M
• 8.4% above $1M

Important: those are marginal rates. Someone making $550K does NOT pay 7.4% on all $550K.

According to the state’s analysis, you don’t start paying more overall until around $510,834 in Colorado taxable income.

The maximum tax cut?

About $325 a year.

Roughly $27 a month.

Meanwhile, the state expects the new system to generate about $1.97 BILLION in additional revenue in the first full year.

So where’s the catch?

Here’s where things get interesting.

The brackets are NOT indexed to inflation.

That means the dollar thresholds stay put while incomes generally rise over time.

So someone nowhere near the higher brackets today could eventually creep into them simply because wages rise over the next 10, 15 or 20 years.

No new ballot measure.

No dramatic tax-hike vote.

The thresholds just sit there while your paycheck keeps moving.

That is probably the single biggest thing voters need to understand.

There’s also a marriage penalty built into the structure because the brackets don’t double for married couples filing jointly.

It also doesn’t just hit “millionaire salaries.”

Business owners with pass-through income can get caught in the higher brackets.

Sell a business?

Sell investment property?

Have a huge one-time capital gain?

Congratulations, the tax code may decide you’re rich for the year.

And this isn’t only an individual income-tax change.

The corporate rate can also climb as high as 8.4%.

Then there’s the spending side.

The new money goes toward K-12 education, health care, and early childhood programs.

But there isn’t some neat little formula saying:

“40% here, 30% there, 30% over there.”

The Legislature decides which qualifying programs actually get the money.

And yes, there are reporting and audit requirements.

One more thing:

Amendment 87 permanently removes Colorado’s constitutional requirement for a flat income-tax rate.

That does NOT mean lawmakers suddenly get unlimited authority to raise taxes whenever they feel like it.

TABOR still matters.

But this is a much larger structural change than:

“Should rich people pay more?”

That’s the part I think is getting buried.

This isn’t secretly an immediate tax hike on everybody.

That claim is garbage.

But it also isn’t just:

“Here’s your $325 tax cut. Have a nice day.”

Voters are being asked to approve a completely different tax structure — one with fixed brackets, long-term bracket creep, business implications, marriage penalties, and a top rate nearly double what Colorado has now.

You can still support it.

You can still oppose it.

Just know what the hell you’re actually voting on.

Because “97% get a tax cut” is a sales pitch.

The tax code is the fine print.

We are done with “trust the plan.” 7 million children have been injected with gene-tampering mRNA since Kennedy took office, and 1/3 of parents plan to give their child a shot this season. @HealthRanger

Perhaps Democrats should stop spewing the rhetoric that incites violence.

Democrats in their own words:

- Ban fossil fuels
- Ban gas cars
- Ban plastic straws
- Ban offshore drilling
- Ban population growth
- Ban natural gas
- Ban coal
- Ban fracking
- Ban nuclear power

If you think Democrats are going to lower costs, think again.

🚨 SHOCKING: RFK Jr. just dropped this on live national TV

Lyme disease.
RSV (the #1 killer of American kids).
COVID-19. All of them came from gain-of-function research. His exact words: They’ve been engineering the diseases that are destroying us… and then calling it “science.” This isn’t a conspiracy theory anymore.
This is the HHS Secretary saying it out loud.

“Lyme disease almost certainly came from these experiments and is now devastating our country.”
“RSV came from a laboratory, which is now the biggest killer of children in our country.”
“And of course, the COVID-19 pandemic…

All of those have been linked credibly to gain-of-function research.”

“It’s something with enormous costs and no proven benefits.”

PEOPLE SAY DEMOCRATS HAVE NO PLATFORM.

•  Abortion up until birth
•  Pack the Supreme Court
•  Impeach Trump
•  Socialism
•  Gun-free zones
•  200 genders
•  Cut kids’ ding-dongs off

Election officials looking to CHEAT.

Lansing, Michigan appointed 140 Democrat poll workers.

And 71 Republicans.

State law says it's supposed to be as close to even as possible.

Republicans sent qualified people.

The city wouldn't even show them the records.

Now the RNC is suing.

Good.

Watch every precinct.

Keep in mind this is the same guy who said that the NYPD was terrorizing New Yorkers and should be defunded.
