Data dump shows 650,000 migrant criminals, suspects free in Biden-Harris’s America

By Neil Munro  | Breitbart President Joe Biden’s administration is allowing up to 650,000 criminal migrants and suspects — including at least 13,099 migrant murderers and 222,141 migrants facing criminal charges — to roam through American communities, according to a dramatic data dump by a House Republican. “The data says that, among those not in detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals,” reported Fox News, which got the information from Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX). The letter from ICE to Gonzalez says: Your letter requests the number of noncitizens on ICE’s docket convicted or charged with a crime. As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency’...

Voters moving right on tax cuts, poll shows

By Salena Zito  | Daily Signal A national survey released weeks before the Nov. 5 presidential election shows most voters know little about the personal impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which is set to expire at the end of 2025. The survey, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies on behalf of Stand Together, shows that 76% of voters, an overwhelming majority, say now is a bad time to increase taxes, and only 5% say it is a good time. The other 18% said it was neither a good time nor a bad time. The Tax Foundation has estimated that if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expires next year, a single parent with one child making $30,000 per year will pay more than $1,000 more in taxes annually. A family of four making $75,000 is estimated to face a tax increase of more...

McElwee: Kamala Harris’ Pennsylvania Problem

By Charles F. McElwee | Politico America’s second Catholic president was visiting his childhood neighborhood in April, when he employed a bit of ritualized Irish Democratic politicking. “I’m Joe Biden,” he introduced himself to a patron at a small coffee shop gathering in Green Ridge, long a bastion of Irish-Catholic families who work in law and politics. “I went to St. Paul’s.” The greeting, an echo of the old Catholic habit of identifying oneself by church parish, was Biden’s homage to the parochial nature of Scranton, home to one of the nation’s highest concentrations of white Catholics.

Amendment K: If supported, election officials would have more time to prepare ballots

By Brian Eason | The Colorado Sun Colorado voters in November will be asked to move up a number of constitutional filing deadlines for candidates and citizen initiatives to give county clerks more time to prepare ballots in future elections. Amendment K, referred to voters by the state legislature earlier this year, would amend the state constitution to require supporters of citizen-led ballot initiatives to submit petitions one week earlier in order to qualify for the ballot. Judges would also have to file their declarations of intent to seek another term a week sooner. If the measure passes, nonpartisan legislative staff would have to publish the text of all the statewide ballot measures in newspapers across Colorado 15 days earlier.

Colorado lawsuit attempting to block Kroger, Albertsons merger will begin next week

By Gabrielle Franklin | Fox 31 News Colorado’s lawsuit against the parent companies of King Soopers and Safeway is set to begin next week. Before that happens, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser briefed the public about the case. Several other lawsuits surrounding the merger are being heard across the U.S., but Weiser said Colorado’s case is a little different from the rest. “In July, a district court judge ruled that the merger had a reasonable probability of violating the law here in Colorado — the Colorado Antitrust Act. That ruling put a temporary pause on the merger. We’re now prepared for what we believe will be the case that will end this merger and will prevent it from harming Coloradans,” said Weiser during a news conference Thursday.

As Colorado struggles with widespread retail theft, Wheat Ridge police take proactive approach

Wheat Ridge police are trying a new approach to stop retail theft. Almost weekly, the police department in the city located in the western part of the Denver metro area has shared body camera video of arrests being made as soon as suspects walk out of a store.

Colorado regulators appear to reach consensus on cumulative-impacts regulations for oil & gas

By Ed Sealover | The Sum & Substance After four weeks of testimony and debate, Colorado regulators seem to have aligned on new cumulative-impacts rules that will require more protections from oil and gas firms wanting to drill in already impacted areas but will not shut off future projects altogether. The Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission broke Thursday afternoon until Oct. 8 but not before coming to a consensus around how oil-and-gas operators must account for their emissions as part of the cumulative impacts of all industry in an area. Environmental advocates have sought such added considerations for five years to better protect poorer communities that already have higher levels of pollution and industrial activity, and the rules the ECMC is developing ...
