Stock market would crash under Harris’ tax plan, billionaire hedge fund manager warns

By Kristen Altus  | Fox Business A potential Trump nominee for U.S. Treasury secretary, who also happens to be a billionaire hedge fund manager, has explained how Vice President Kamala Harris’ tax plan could send markets into a quick plunge. "In the early parts of her campaign, she was supportive of the tax on unrealized gain[s]. And if that was implemented, I think it would be devastating for the markets and cause a market crash," Paulson & Co. President and founder John Paulson said on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast," Monday. "Harris says she wants to raise taxes on capital gains from 20% to 28%. The corporate tax rate, she wants to go from 21% to 28%, Paulson added.

By Bobbie Gross | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As your Mesa County clerk​ & recorder, I am deeply committed to the transparency, security, and integrity of our elections.

Democrats paid $430,000 to firm linked to Pennsylvania voter fraud investigations

By Gabe Kaminsky | Washington Examiner Democratic political campaigns have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a consulting firm facing investigations in Pennsylvania counties for allegedly submitting fraudulent voter registration forms, federal records show. The district attorney of Monroe County, Pennsylvania, Mike Mancuso, said in a statement last week that a subsidiary of a firm in Arizona called FieldCorps was responsible for submitting 30 forms with fraudulent details, including on behalf of a dead resident. And in York, another county in the Keystone State, officials are looking into suspicious forms they say were submitted by FieldCorps on behalf of the Everybody Votes Campaign, a group tied to the Washington, D.C.-based Arabella Advisors dark money n...

Donald Trump closes final campaign rally at 2:09 a.m. Election Day

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart Former President Donald Trump concluded the final campaign rally of the 2024 election at 2:09 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Election Day in Grand Rapids, Michigan, defying opponents who claimed he was losing his energy. As he did in 2016, Trump concluded his presidential campaign in Grand Rapids, beginning his remarks before a packed crowd shortly after midnight and speaking for the better part of two hours. “Can you imagine a crowd like this at, like, one o’clock or some ridiculous time in the morning, on a Monday-slash-Tuesday?” he asked the cheering crowd. “What a compliment,” he said, gratefully, before comparing his rally to his opponent’s allegedly smaller one.

Sloan: The BRICS election and the next U.S. President

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Writing a political column is a notoriously difficult endeavor two days before a major election. By the time you read this, editorial vagaries being what they are, the election will be over and any electoral prognostication or attempt at influence will be rendered, well, moot. We may or may not know for certain how it all turned out, but even if there remain votes to count, or recounts to be conducted, the United States will have, via the electoral college, selected either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris as President. Sort of Schrodinger’s Cat as applied to democracy.  What we do know is that whoever the next president is will be inheriting an increasingly dangerous and unstable world beyond America’s borders, and t...
