Kamala Harris on what she would do different from Biden: ‘There is not a thing that comes to mind’

By Pam Key | Breitbart Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that she would do nothing differently than President Joe Biden. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “As Vice President you worked closely with President Biden for almost four years. He was here on our show and he said there wasn’t a single thing that he did that you could not do. What do you think would be the biggest specific difference between your presidency and a Biden presidency?” Harris said, “We’re two different people but we have a lot of shared life experiences, for example, the way we fell about our family and parents and so on, but we’re also different people. I will bring those sensibilities to how I lead.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART...

Hurricane Milton makes landfall, slamming into Florida with destructive winds, catastrophic storm surge

By Greg Norman , Anders Hagstrom , Bradford Betz , Gabriele Regalbuto , Stepheny Price , Landon Mion  | Fox News More than 3 million people are without power and more than 100 rescue missions are underway Thursday in Florida after Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key last night as a Category 3 storm, generating tornadoes that left 4 people dead in St. Lucie County. Milton, which is a Category 1 storm at the time of this report, has currently moved off Florida's east coast after lashing the state with destructive winds and dangerous flooding. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that 48 people have been rescued so far and that "hundreds of rescuers [are] engaged in over 125 active missions in 26 different counties" this morning.

In search of new child care money, more Colorado communities look to hotel guests

By Ann Schimke | Chalkbeat Colorado Three western Colorado communities hope to raise new dollars for child care through taxes paid by out-of-town visitors who stay in hotels or short-term rental housing. La Plata and Grand counties and the City of Montrose all have lodging tax measures on the November ballot, with at least some of the proceeds intended to help make child care easier for local residents to find and pay for. The three communities are the latest in a string of mostly mountain resort areas to ask voters for permission to spend lodging tax dollars on housing and child care. The idea is that local workers power the tourism industry, so visitors should contribute to efforts supporting a stable workforce. READ THE FULL STORY AT CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Denver’s 7A: What you need to know about RTD’s request to keep all its sales tax revenue

By Michael Booth | The Colorado Sun Metro Denver-area voters will decide Nov. 5 whether the Regional Transportation District can continue to keep all of its sales tax revenue in coming years, even when a strong economy pushes revenue up above caps set in the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.  The so-called “de-Brucing,” named after TABOR author Douglas Bruce, is a common request from local taxing agencies.  In RTD’s case, a “yes” vote on 7A would not raise the current dedicated RTD sales tax, but would allow RTD to keep projected revenue about $50 million to $60 million a year above the TABOR cap instead of refunding that amount to millions of taxpayers.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SUN

Foley: The Second Gentleman is no gentleman, contrary to narrative

By Emma Foley, Commentary  | The Conservateur In the home stretch of the 2024 race, Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, has been accused of abusing a former lover. His alleged problematic past undermines the media narrative that Emhoff is the torchbearer of a reformed masculinity. It also exposes Harris’s fraudulence as a supposed champion of women.  Emhoff’s biggest flaw is that he shamelessly adores his wife, if you ask those who get their news from Saturday Night Live. Actors Andy Samberg and Maya Rudolph did a skit portraying the two in puppy love. The media consensus? Doug’s a “wife guy.” He can’t help being his goofy-Gen X-husband-self. Goals! The feminists go further, saying Emhoff is a “progressive sex symbol.” Emhoff served a...

Biden-Harris admin ‘taking advice from foreign governments’ on policing speech, lawmaker charges

By Fred Lucas | Fox News A newly released tranche of documents shows senior Biden-Harris administration officials gained pointers from British "disinformation" officials about partnering with social media companies and establishing an all-of-government effort for fighting disfavored content that includes elections and COVID-19.   The revelation, which comes as Congress investigates potential censorship efforts by the executive branch in the lead-up to the 2024 election, has prompted a House Republican to propose legislation to prevent U.S. tax money going to countries that regulate online speech. The National Security Council held a private meeting with the U.K. government’s Counter Disinformation Unit on Aug. 21, 2021. The Counter Disinformation Unit is part of the...

Colorado’s mountain lion hunting ban ballot measure faces Douglas County opposition

By Noah Festenstein | Denver Gazette A large Colorado county scattered with open space has voiced opposition to a state ballot measure proposed to outright ban the hunting of large mammal cat species. As the November election nears, Douglas County Commissioners on Tuesday passed a resolution condemning a state ballot measure prohibiting the hunting of mountain lions, bobcats, or lynx. If the Proposition 127 measure is approved by Colorado voters in November, then hunting those species of animals would become a criminal offense — misdemeanor. The proposal also helps eliminate large cat hunting “big game” damage claims made with Colorado Parks & Wildlife. The proposition mentions trophy hunting, but that is already prohibited for these species. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENV...

Drone footage captures 300-foot-long dinosaur track site in Ouray County

By Spencer McKee | Out There Colorado In case you haven't heard, public access was recently opened for the 'world's largest continuous dinosaur track site,' also known as the West Gold Hill Dinosaur Tracksite in Colorado's Ouray County. The tracks were left by a long-neck sauropod dinosaur, estimated to be more than 150 million years old. The site features 134 consecutive prints, measuring at about 106 yards long, also noteworthy as rare evidence of a saurapod's sharp-turning behavior. News broke about the track site opening to the public last April, with drone video recently published by ABC capturing how cool the spectacle really is. READ THE FULL STORY AT OUT THERE COLORADO Tracks from the Late Jurassic period are shown located west of Ouray in the San Juan Mountains. (Ph...
