Trump served more McDonald’s french fries in 15 minutes than Harris probably ever has

By Tristan Justice | The Federalist Donald Trump served French fries at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s on Sunday after Kamala Harris allegedly lied about her job there as a cook. Former President Donald Trump put on the apron of the golden arches Sunday to serve French fries at a McDonald’s in Feasterville, Pennsylvania. “I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala,” Trump said from the drive-thru window. The billionaire real estate mogul manned the fast food shift after the Washington Free Beacon reported in August the Democrat presidential nominee likely fabricated her experience as a McDonald’s fry cook.

CBS News breaks its silence over editing allegations in ’60 Minutes’ interview with Harris

By Yael Halon  | Fox News CBS News pushed back against former President Trump's claim that "60 Minutes" deceitfully edited its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, dismissing the allegation as "false" in a statement released Sunday. After weeks of staying mum despite mounting backlash over the interview, CBS published a statement Sunday evening addressing the outrage that ensued after airing two different answers to the same question in the "60 Minutes" interview earlier this month with the Democratic nominee. "Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false," the statement began.

CVS workers strike at 7 California locations seeking better pay, health care

By Brooke Stephenson | Fox Business Workers at seven CVS pharmacies in Southern California are now on strike, as they demand better pay and health care and to call out what they describe as the company engaging in bad-faith contract bargaining. The strike began Friday and continued through the weekend, affecting four stores in Los Angeles and three others in Orange County. Striking workers outside a Los Angeles location told customers on Saturday not to cross the picket lines, according to The Associated Press. Melissa Acosta, a pharmacy technician who is on the contract bargaining committee, claimed the company was "intimidating workers, observing them, getting in the way of them speaking to union representatives," the outlet reported. Despite the strike, the affected CVS...

RTD to restore more Boulder bus routes in 2025, but future expansion could hinge on ballot measure

By Brooke Stephenson | Boulder Reporting Lab After years of slashed services during and after the Covid-19 pandemic, the Regional Transportation District is planning to expand several City of Boulder bus routes next year. This includes increased service on the AB1 and AB2 routes between Boulder and Denver International Airport, as well as routes 208 and 205, which serve Boulder High School. The proposed changes are scheduled for January, but further expansion may depend on the outcome of a statewide ballot measure that would allow RTD to retain all tax revenue from its 1% sales and use tax. If the funding isn’t secured on Nov. 5, Lynn Guissinger, an RTD board member representing Boulder, warned that RTD “probably would have to start cutting service” again. READ THE FULL STORY AT T...

Turning Point Action’s ‘moneyball’ ballot-chasing success ‘most unreported, untold Story’ of 2024

By Bradley Jaye | Breitbart Ballot chasing has long propped up weak Democrat candidates, but Republicans have adopted and perfected the strategy in 2024 and its paying immediate dividends for former President Donald Trump, Turning Point Action’s Tyler Bowyer told Breitbart News Saturday  host Matt Boyle. Bowyer, the former Arizona Republican National Committeeman who’s leading the Turning Point Action ballot chasing operations, said the biggest difference between the 2020 and 2024 elections is Republicans’ laser focus in 2024 on turning out low propensity voters who may not have cast a ballot in 2016 or 2020 – an area where Democrats have far outworked Republicans in the past. “Actually, right now we’re outpacing the Democrats,” Bowyer told Boyle. “It looks like – the data comes b...

Study finds homeless sweeps don’t reduce crime, may even increase violence

By Jenny Deam | Colorado Politics Despite prevailing public and political wisdom that removing homeless encampments is necessary to reduce crime in an area, a new national study looking specifically at Denver’s crime rates after sweeps found the narrative was, in fact, mostly false. “There is no evidence that sweeps make our community safer,” said Pranav Padmanabhan, the Denver-based lead author of the study published Wednesday in the national Journal of Urban Health. Padmanabhan is a graduate student in Public Health at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and one of four authors affiliated with the medical school. The fifth is with the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine. READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS

Community seeking change on anniversary of Littleton 7th grader being killed riding his bike to school

By Ashley Portillo | CBS Colorado One year ago in Colorado, 13-year-old Liam Stewart was hit and killed by a driver while riding his bike to Euclid Middle School in Littleton. On Thursday morning, Liam's family, friends, classmates, teachers and even people he never met rode their bikes or walked from the middle school to Bemis Library. A sea of people wearing red moved through the community, as red was Liam's favorite color. It was a day to remember and honor Liam, but also to push for changes to make the community safer for everyone -- including drivers, pedestrians and bikers. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

Aurora Showdown: Anti-Establishment Fire Ignites Voter Frenzy

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: Aurora, Colorado, experienced a surge in political enthusiasm from both Trump and Harris supporters, driving high levels of voter engagement. Pro-Trump supporters view him as a necessary disruptor of a corrupt system, while Harris supporters see their vote as a defense against authoritarianism. Both sides share a deep anti-establishment sentiment, reflecting widespread disillusionment with traditional political and media institutions.  Between Oct. 9-16, Aurora, Colorado, became a hotspot for intense political activity and discussion following Trump’s rally in the city. Residents are grappling with a whirlwind of emotions—anxiety, enthusiasm, and distrust—all of which are influencing their civic engagement and voting propensity. READ THE FU...

If Kamala Harris wins

By Roger Kimball | Americanmind.org Sometimes “What if?” questions are merely counterfactual academic exercises. Sometimes, however, they are existential conundrums. The question, “What if Kamala Harris wins the 2024 presidential election?” belongs firmly in the latter category. As I have noted elsewhere, I believe Donald Trump will not only win, but win resoundingly. All the same, the huge influx of illegal immigrants, strategically managed by Biden and Harris to be maximally advantageous, combined with the disastrous state of our voter rolls, might mean even if Trump wins, he doesn’t end up in the Oval Office. So: what if? Imagine you are a mini-Rip Van Winkle. You sink into a deep slumber on November 4 and do not awaken until, say, December 2026. You won’t have missed the original...
