Good Morning! On this day in 1942, the U.S. Army announced the selection of Colorado Springs as the site for a major Army base. Initially designated as Camp Carson a few weeks later, it was renamed Fort Carson in 1954.

We're headed into a wintry Monday with a pep in our step after the Broncos secured their first playoff berth since Super Bowl 50 with an impressive 38-0 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Later today, we'll be sending you a special message featuring our sponsor, GoldCo, and their strategies to help safeguard your savings. We hope you'll find their insights valuable and timely.

Achieving your goals—career and personal—requires sustained productivity. But let's face it: aging can challenge energy levels. That's why we're excited to introduce today's sponsor, Qualia Senolytic.

Winter Weather Blankets the State

Another snow system is set to arrive Tuesday, bringing some of the season's coldest temperatures. Highs are forecast to stay in the 20s, with frigid conditions lingering throughout the week.

Saturday morning saw dense freezing fog, followed by snow in the high country by the afternoon.

The system moved into the plains and metro areas later in the day, with the heaviest snowfall occurring Saturday night, particularly in the mountains and eastern plains.

An ice storm caused travel delays for the Kansas City Chiefs as they headed to Denver for their Sunday matchup against the Broncos. Despite the weather, the team landed safely late Saturday night.

Cybertruck Blast Suspect Notes Retrieved

Colorado Springs Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger allegedly intended the New Year's Day Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas to serve as a "wake-up call" for the country.

Notes recovered from his phone reportedly contain grievances expressed in several letters. The 37-year-old criticized America's leadership as "weak" and described the nation as "terminally ill and headed toward collapse."

Investigators are also reviewing an email resembling a manifesto, allegedly sent by Livelsberger, which was shared on the military-themed Shawn Ryan Show podcast last Friday.

While authorities have ruled out terrorism, they have linked the attack to Livelsberger's struggles with mental health, including PTSD stemming from extensive combat service.

"Teen Rex" Fossil Unveils New Insights

The juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex fossil, nicknamed "Teen Rex," was discovered by three boys in North Dakota in 2023 and is now being studied at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.

Measuring 25 feet long and weighing an estimated 3,500 pounds when alive, this rare find is offering new insights into the growth and physiology of the species.

In December 2024, paleontologists uncovered the Teen Rex's lower jaw, significant portions of its skull with teeth, and a fossilized palm frond from the late Cretaceous Period.

The "Discovering Teen Rex" exhibit, which opened in June 2024, allows visitors to observe fossil preparation and learn about the dinosaur's life.

As we age, our bodies accumulate "senescent" or "zombie" cells—old, worn-out cells that no longer serve a useful function but still consume space and nutrients from healthy cells. These cells contribute to aging symptoms, such as aches, slower workout recovery, and reduced mental and physical energy.

Much like pruning dead leaves from a plant, Qualia Senolytic helps remove these cells, allowing the body's healthier cells to thrive. This clinically tested formula is designed to rejuvenate cellular health and revitalize aging tissues, offering a potential breakthrough in supporting longevity and overall well-being.
