Ohio Sen J.D. Vance will join Trump on Republican ticket as VP

By Paul Steinhauser , Brandon Gillespie | Fox News With an eye toward the future of a Republican Party dominated by former President Trump and his legions of MAGA supporters, Trump has named 39-year-old Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate on the GOP'S 2024 national ticket. The former president, who made his greatly anticipated and high-stakes announcement on Monday as the Republican National Convention kicked off in swing-state Wisconsin's largest city, will now share the ticket with one of his top supporters in the Senate and a one-time Trump critic who has transformed into a leading America First disciple. Vance, a former venture capitalist and the author of the bestselling memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," before running for elective office, was one of a handful o...

Secret Service rejects accusations that security was diverted from Trump to Jill Biden’s rally

By Washington Examiner Much has been said of the Secret Service detail after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Many are seeking answers as to how the shooter could position himself on a roof so close to a former president and current presumptive Republican presidential nominee. One theory suggested that some Secret Service members were relocated from Trump’s rally in Butler to a Sunday campaign event for first lady Jill Biden in Pittsburgh. The Secret Service rejected this claim. On Sunday, a social media post from a White House correspondent from RealClearPolitics advanced the idea of personnel being diverted to the first lady’s campaign event.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Fabbricatore: A law enforcement leader’s perspective on the assassination attempt on President Trump

By John Fabbricatore | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Have you ever experienced a situation where things happen that are done right, but still go horribly wrong? The recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump's life is a stark example of this. While the Secret Service was prepared to lay down their lives for the former President and current Republican Presidential candidate, the fact that a shooter managed to get within 140 yards of the stage represents a significant failure in security protocols. Something went wrong, and, as a result, hearings should be held, Freedom of Information Act requests made, and hopefully we can come to an understanding of why this security lapse occurred.  As we uncover the details and analyze what went wrong, it's crucial t...

Griswold calls for recount in House District 58 Republican primary race decided by three votes

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Three votes. That's how close the Colorado House District 58 Republican primary race was between Larry Don Suckla and Mark Roeber. The two candidates were separated by 0.02% of the vote. It falls within the criteria for a mandatory recount, called Monday by Secretary of State Jena Griswold. Any race not decided by at least 0.5% qualifies for a mandatory recount, a press statement from Griswold's office reads. “The unofficial results of the Republican primary race for House District 58 race show that every vote matters,” said Secretary of State Jena Griswold. She has notified the eight counties within the House district the recount must be complete by Friday, July 26. State law clarifies the process for a mandatory recount, Griswold's st...

Day One: What to expect as Republicans descend on Milwaukee

By Haisten Willis | Washington Examiner Former President Donald Trump‘s nomination becomes official this week as tens of thousands of Republicans gather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with festivities beginning just two days after Trump miraculously survived an assassination attempt that left his right ear slashed and a supporter dead from gunshot wounds. The 2024 Republican National Convention lasts from Monday through Thursday, with each day focusing on a particular theme. Monday’s theme is “Make America Wealthy Once Again,” as the economy has been one of Trump’s most significant messaging points this year. “On day one, we will throw out Bidenomics and replace it with a thing called MAGAnomics.,” Trump said at a recent rally in Miami. “We will quickly build the greatest econ...

Lake: It’s 1968 all over again, the year that left two leaders dead and shattered our politics

By Eli Lake | Commentary, The Free Press For months now, the parallels between 2024 and 1968 have seemed eerie. The Democratic convention is once again in Chicago this August, as it was 56 years ago. The Democratic incumbent, once again, is despised by his left-wing base and seems out of touch with voters. College campuses are once again aflame over a foreign war. And yet despite these echoes, anyone familiar with the horrors of 1968 would have thought things were much worse in that year of street battles and riots than today. Until Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Yesterday evening, an assassin’s bullet came a hair’s breadth away from killing the Republican nominee and front-runner in the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump. Instead, the bullet grazed his ear, set...

Douglas Co. has invested $2.7 million in a helicopter, and says it is worth it

By Olivia Young | CBS Colorado Douglas County fire crews experienced a busy weekend as a heat wave warmed the Denver metro area. The agency's fire suppression helicopter responded to several calls, including a destructive brush fire in Byers Arapahoe County, a plane's emergency landing and three smoke checks. CBS Colorado learned more about the resource proving to be instrumental for communities around the metro area by watching the Helitack team demonstrate their approach, which is a combination of aerial and ground firefighting.When a wildfire sparks, every second counts. "We just arrived on scene. I got eyes on the fire. We're going to try to anchor in at the heel and go up the right flank. If you could just have the helicopter drop on the left flank," a firefighter radioed oth...

10th Circuit rules Sedgwick County liable for former Sheriff Hanna’s alleged assault of an inmate

By Law Week Sheriff Thomas Hanna of Sedgwick County, Colo., allegedly sexually assaulted an intellectually disabled prisoner while transporting her between county jails.  The victim, Peatinna Biggs, filed this civil rights suit through her guardian ad litem, Hollis Ann Whitson, against Sedgwick County, the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department and Hanna in his individual and official capacities.  The district court granted the motion of the county and the sheriff’s department to dismiss the complaint against them, reasoning that the county could be liable only if “the challenged conduct [had] been taken pursuant to a policy adopted by the official or officials,” and “Hanna’s actions were not pursuant to Department policies, but in direct contravention of them.”  Hanna was t...
