Gov. Polis for Harris: She just had hard time thinking of differences from Biden ‘on the spot’

By Ian Hanchett | Breitbart On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D), who is also a Harris-Walz Surrogate, said that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris “is a totally different person” from President Joe Biden, but she didn’t mention what she would have done differently because “it’s hard to think of things on the spot.” Host Kaitlan Collins asked, “When she was asked the other day if there was anything that she would have done differently from Biden, she said not a thing that would come to mind. Do you think, on immigration, she should have said, yes, that she would have handled things differently had she been president?” Polis responded, “Well, look, this is a totally different person. So, I’m excited by Kamala Ha...

Turley: Liberals are losing their minds over Elon Musk

By Jonathan Turley, commentary | The Hill This week, Elton John  publicly renounced the Rocket Man — no, not the 1972 song, but Elon Musk, whom he called an “a**hole” in an awards ceremony. Sir Elton, 77, is only the latest among celebrities and pundits to denounce Musk for his support of former president Donald Trump and his opposition to censorship. Musk-mania is so overwhelming that some are calling for his arrest, deportation and debarment from federal contracts. This week, the California Coastal Commission rejected a request from the Air Force for additional launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base. It is not because the military agency did not need the launches. It was not because the nation and the community would not benefit from them. Rather, it was reporte...

‘Lost Innocence’ tells story of accidental drug overdose by Sophia Larson, age 5

By Taylor Cramer | Post-Independent The life of 5-year-old Sophia Larson was tragically cut short on a winter night in 2019, leaving a father shattered and a community grieving. Five years later, father Alec Larson is hoping that a documentary chronicling the death of his daughter and the aftermath will help prevent other children from facing similar tragedy. “It was the worst day of my life and news that no parent should ever have to receive,” Alec Larson said. “It’s so easily preventable and should have never happened, and I’ve had to live with the reality that it happened to my daughter.” A documentary titled “Lost Innocence: The Story of Sophia Larson” is set to release next week, shedding light on the heartbreaking 2019 death. The film aims to not only recount Sophia’s tragic...

Parnes: Democrats fear Harris losing too many male voters to Trump

By Amie Parnes, Commentary | The Hill Democrats are worried Vice President Harris is failing to make inroads with men in the final weeks of the presidential campaign. A string of polls out this week show that while Harris is outperforming former President Trump with women, she is not moving the needle with male voters, in some cases trailing the former president by more than a dozen points in battleground state polls. This week, a New York Times/Siena College survey of likely male voters showed Trump with a sizable lead nationally — 51 percent to 40 percent — over Harris. Democratic strategists have also sounded the alarm that she needs to increase her numbers with Black and Latino men if she wants to defeat Trump, who has increased his numbers with both voting blocs.

In MAGA rally, Trump pledges national ‘Operation Aurora’ to address illegal aliens

'We need to make a change in November,' Trump says after making case against Kamala Harris on border, economy By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice A population of more than 13 million illegal immigrants who surged across the border during the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris Administration were put on notice Friday by former President Donald Trump: leave or be removed from America upon his election. Trump announced to a MAGA rally crowd gathered at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora, if elected, he would reinstitute a version of the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798, which allowed for aliens dangerous to the peace and safety of America or engaged in treasonous acts to be removed by the President, with penalty of incarceration for returning. "We will have an 'Ope...

Denver committee delays vote on rezoning for property near Ball Arena redevelopment

By Alexander Edwards | Denver Gazette A Denver committee postponed advancing a rezoning for a property located inside of, but separate from, the proposed Kroenke redevelopment of the Ball Arena parking lot after a council member lambasted the applicant and property owner. The properties, located at 500, 501 and 551 Wewatta Street, are currently occupied by a two story office building though its current zoning allows a mixed use building of up to eight stories and has two soccer fields on site. It is surrounded by the massive, 70+ acre parking lot area of Ball Arena. The property owner, Landon Scott, said the properties have been owned by his family since the 1970s and said they do not have any development plans in place if the zone change were to be approved. Options ranging from ...

Wegmann: Harris Calls DeSantis ‘Selfish,’ Biden Praises Him as ‘Very Gracious’

By Philip Wegmann, Commentary | Daily Signal Two hours before Hurricane Milton made landfall, President Joe Biden had only kind words for Ron DeSantis—even though his vice president, Kamala Harris, accused Florida’s Republican governor of being “utterly irresponsible.” At issue: a phone call. The day before, Biden even gave DeSantis his personal cellphone number, urging him “to contact me directly, if that’s necessary.” Harris, meanwhile, can’t get through to the governor. After NBC News broke the story that DeSantis was sending Harris to voicemail, she told reporters that the governor was being “selfish” and “playing political games.” Biden does not see it that way.

Chandler: Vote ‘no’ on Arapahoe County ballot issue 1A

By Kathleen Chandler | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Our Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) is under perpetual attack by a government that seeks to grow without the consent of the governed. A major tenant of TABOR is asking our permission to raise our taxes. That is all we ask. Government, make your case. Why do you need more tax revenue? Arapahoe County is deceitful in its de-TABORing measure. According to the law, the measure, when placed into legal publication, must be in ALL CAPS if the government asks to raise your taxes. That is true here. However, the first line states, “WITHOUT INCREASING THE TAX RATE AND WITHOUT ADOPTING ANY NEW TAX,” which is technically true and deceptive in its consequences.  This measure will raise your taxes. The county government is asking t...

Some Dems won’t commit to certifying election results if Trump wins

By Nick Pope | Daily Caller Several senior Democrats in Congress would not commit to certifying the results of the 2024 presidential election if former President Donald Trump wins when asked by Axios. Many House Democrats have slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson for hedging his language about whether the GOP House majority would certify the results of the election if Vice President Kamala Harris wins, but Democrats like Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland are doing the same thing, Axios reported. If Trump “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it,” Raskin told Axios. However, the lawmaker “definitely” will not assume that Trump would win by honest means.
