Court watchers blame Supreme Court’s liberal wing for latest leak

By Olivia Prentzel | The Daily Caller The latest leaks about the Supreme Court’s internal deliberations on three major cases involving former President Donald Trump could be coming from a high level member of the minority, former clerks and long time court observers told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Drawing on “details from the justices’ private memos, documentation of the proceedings and interviews with court insiders, both conservative and liberal,” a Sunday report published by The New York Times offered a window into the the justices’ decision making process on three major cases, including Trump v. United States, where the Supreme Court held former presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts taken in office. The report mainly targets Chief Jus...

Bomb threats used by media to excuse second Trump assassination attempt have no ‘validity at all’

By Fred Lucas | The Federalist Within hours of the second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on Sunday, NBC News’ Lester Holt tried to excuse the political violence by linking Trump to unsubstantiated bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio. “Today’s apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail itself,” Holt said. “Mr. Trump, his running mate JD Vance, continue to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in [Springfield] Ohio. This weekend, there were new bomb threats in that town.” But Republican Gov. Mike DeWine confirmed Monday that all 33 bomb threats were hoaxes. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

Andrews: A ban on fur in Denver would only hurt this thriving cow town

By Paul Andrews  | Denver Post Denver is like no place else. We’re a “cow town” with a thriving food scene; a tech hub and a gateway to world-class recreation opportunities; sports teams, museums, brew pubs, and distilleries for everyone. We’ve hit on a formula for a world-class 21st-century city that honors its heritage. It’s no wonder boomers and Gen Z alike want to be here. So why mess with success? Unfortunately, some ideologues want to do just that. They have a scheme that would tear apart our heritage and what makes us a unique and desirable city. The backers of the initiative will tell you it’s no big deal, but when they put something on the ballot that will hurt the National Western Stock Show, the Denver Powwow, our fly-fishing businesses and hatmakers, that should rile u...

Takeaways from Hawley report on secret service failures in first Trump assassination attempt

By Fred Lucas | The Daily Signal The Secret Service missed several opportunities to stop the first attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in July, according to a Senate report released a day after the second such attempt on Trump’s life at his golf club in Florida.  Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., released a 22-page report Monday that says the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service, and the FBI all failed to answer the public’s questions about the first attempted assassination of Trump on July 13 during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “In response, Senator Hawley personally visited the Butler, Pennsylvania rally site to interview whistleblowers, opened up a whistleblower tip line, and encouraged those with relevant information to te...

Ganahl: Kamala’s ‘lawful pathways’ program floods U.S. with 1 million-plus migrants, escalates crime in Colorado’s sanctuary cities

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In a staggering development, newly released data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reveals that nearly 530,000 migrants have flown into the United States and been paroled into the country under the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration's controversial CHNV mass parole program. In addition to this massive influx, about 813,000 more migrants have scheduled appointments through the CBP One app at ports of entry, where they will also be released into the U.S. These so-called "lawful pathways" are new processes created by the Harris administration to provide migrants a way into the country without being counted as illegal border crossings. While these individuals are not crossing the border unlawfully, the programs have dr...

That is providing the weather remains stable, Xcel reports in a press release.

Hillary Clinton says Trump poses ‘danger to our country and the world’ after assassination attempt

By David Rutz | Fox News The Federal Reserve on Tuesday begins a highly anticipated two-day meeting where policymakers are expected to cut interest rates for the first time in four years as stubborn inflation shows signs of continuing to ease. The Fed's policymaking arm, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), kicks off its meeting on Tuesday and will announce its decision regarding interest rates on Wednesday, when Fed Chair Jerome Powell will also shed light on the central bank's thinking at a press conference. After its last policy meeting in July, the Fed kept its benchmark federal funds rate steady at a 23-year-high range of 5.25% to 5.5% but opened the door to interest rate cuts if inflation continued to ease. Inflation data showed that price growth slo...

Denver council OKs $6 million contract to Haven of Hope to aid immigrants

By Alexander Edwards | Denver Gazette The Denver City Council on Monday approved a $6 million contract for a group to manage the distribution of food and provide services for immigrants participating in the city's work program. The vote on the $6 million contract with Haven of Hope was postponed in late August and again last week after councilmembers grilled the Johnston administration and one member said it resulted in more questions than answers.  Those questions seemed to have been answered on Monday, when 12 councilmembers voted in favor of the contract, though Councilmember Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez pressed about the program’s sustainability.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Hit with Sex Trafficking, Racketeering Charges in NYC

By Emily Crane and Kyle Schnitzer | New York Post Embattled rapper and hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been hit with charges amid a long-running federal sex-trafficking probe, federal prosecutors said.

Combs was hit with federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, according to the three-count indictment unsealed early Tuesday.
