Kamala Harris’ Platform Declares War On The Supreme Court

By Brianna Lyman | The Federalist Kamala Harris has finally released an “issues” page on her campaign website seven weeks after she became the presumptive Democrat nominee — and part of her platform includes waging a war on the Supreme Court. On July 1 the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that a president has “absolute immunity” for “actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority,” “at least presumptive immunity” for all “official acts,” and “no immunity for unofficial acts.” The decision severely impeded the Biden-Harris administration’s lawfare efforts against former President Donald Trump. “[Harris] will also support common-sense Supreme Court reforms — like requiring Justices to comply with ethics rules that other federal judges are bound by and imp...

The Harris honeymoon is over: new poll delivers warning signals to the Vice President

By Drake Hunter | The Hill A string of recent polls is delivering warning signs for Vice President Harris ahead of Tuesday evening’s critical presidential debate.  A New York Times/Siena College poll released Sunday showed former President Trump holding a 1-point lead nationally, suggesting the Harris honeymoon as the Democratic nominee could be coming to a close. It showed tight races in the seven battleground states, signaling the race for the White House could go in either direction. It also showed that while 90 percent of voters said they knew everything they need to know about Trump, a smaller 71 percent said they know everything they need to know about Harris.

Man cited by Denver police for posting illegal signs in March near Colorado Capitol

By Heather Willard | Fox 31 News The Denver Police Department has cited a 56-year-old man for posting anti-migrant signs near the Colorado Capitol in late March. The agency said Monday that Christopher Balli was cited on a municipal code violation on Thursday for illegally posting on public or private property, as the signs were attached to city street sign poles on March 22. However, Balli is not facing hate crime charges at this time. The signs were bolted to the same posts as the city’s metal street signs and made to look like a normal street sign. However, the signs featured the words hookers, migrants and undocumented.

By Simon Kent | Breitbart Conservative radio host Mark Levin will be away from his microphone in coming days – by circumstance, not by choice. Levin said Monday he had a “very bad” fall over the weekend and tore his quadricep, a group of muscles at the front of the thighs, and his right knee. Unfortunately, I had a very bad fall this weekend and tore my quadricep between my right knee and thigh. I’ll likely be in surgery in the next day or two. I’ll be back on air as soon as I can.

Congress takes up a series of bills targeting China, from drones to drugs

By Jennifer Nuelle | KDVR, via AP How to curb and counter China’s influence and power — through its biotech companies, drones and electric vehicles — will dominate the U.S. House’s first week back from summer break, with lawmakers taking up a series of measures targeting Beijing. Washington views Beijing as its biggest geopolitical rival, and the legislation is touted as ensuring the U.S. prevails in the competition. Many of the bills scheduled for a vote this week appear to have both Republican and Democratic support, reflecting strong consensus that congressional actions are needed to counter China. The legislation “will take meaningful steps to counter the military, economic and ideological threat of the Chinese Communist Party,” said Rep. John Moolenaar, chair of the House Sel...

Trump expected to use Harris’s own record against her at debate

By Drake Hunter | Washington Examiner Former President Donald Trump is poised to combine his recent attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris‘s policies and personality when they meet during their first and potentially only debate before November’s election. During a Monday phone call with reporters, the Trump campaign previewed the former president’s desire to go after Harris for being part of President Joe Biden‘s administration, for example, for being “the last person in the room” before his deadly 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal. The campaign also foreshadowed criticism of her when she was San Francisco‘s district attorney and California‘s attorney general, as well as the policy positions she adopted during her 2020 bid, which she and her 2024 aide...

Aurora wants in-person property management at apartments, or threatens a shutdown

By Lanie Lee Cook | Fox 31 News Aurora has threatened to shut down two troubled apartment complexes unless their owners take responsibility for deteriorating conditions and install an in-person presence on the properties. The complexes at issue are The Edge at Lowry, located at East 12th Avenue and Dallas Street, and Whispering Pines, at East 13th Avenue and Helena Street. CBZ Management operates both complexes, which have suffered a severe lack of maintenance along with concerns about the presence of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. On Thursday, Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor offered two police officers at each property for two weeks and possibly longer, but only if the owner installs an on-site property manager at each location. That’s according to Aurora Mayor Mike Coff...

Hardin: Disarming Coloradans while allowing illegal immigration. How Aurora’s Tren de Aragua gang exploits vulnerable communities.

By Amanda Hardin | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The rise of Tren de Aragua (TdA), a violent transnational Venezuelan gang, in Aurora, Colorado, has brought new urgency to debates about public safety, immigration and the 2nd Amendment. The gang is accused of infiltrating and taking over local apartment complexes, including Whispering Pines, where they allegedly engage in violent crime, extortion and human trafficking. The situation raises serious concerns about the vulnerability of disarmed citizens, particularly in light of unchecked illegal immigration, which has allowed these gang members to operate within U.S. borders. Recent reports confirm that several members of the TdA gang, all Venezuelan nationals, entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and 2023, after crossing the southe...
