Boyd: Hunter wants his dad in power because the Presidency profits and protects the Bidens

By JORDAN BOYD | The Federalist Hunter Biden desperately wants his father to stay in the 2024 presidential race — but not for the reasons the corporate media suggest. Shortly after President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, The New York Times was quick to amplify the entire Biden family’s support for their suddenly scrutinized patriarch’s 2024 presidential run. “One of the strongest voices imploring Mr. Biden to resist pressure to drop out was his son Hunter Biden, whom the president has long leaned on for advice, said one of the people informed about the discussions, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations,” the Times wrote. The outlet framed Hunter’s concern for his dad’s political future at a recent Camp Davi...

Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon taken into custody at federal prison

By KATELYNN RICHARDSON | The Daily Caller Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon reported to prison Monday and is now officially in custody, according to The Associated Press. Bannon will serve a four-month sentence for his conviction on contempt of Congress charges for ignoring a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee. The Supreme Court declined on Friday to postpone his sentence while he appeals the conviction. The Bureau of Prisons confirmed Monday that he is now in custody, according to the AP. He began his sentence at Federal Correctional Institute Danbury just before noon, ABC News reported. “I am proud to go to prison,” Bannon said before entering the prison, according to ABC News. “If this is what it takes the stand up to tyranny, if this way it takes the stand up to the ...

Your mortgage payment may drop, if Federal Reserve starts lowering interest rates in September

By Charley Blaine | The Street So, you are scouring websites and newspapers, trying to find that perfect house or condo. But you're worried about one thing.  Where will mortgage rates be when the sale closes? The short answer: Ask the Federal Reserve and Chairman Jerome Powell.  The betting, at least this past week, is the Fed may cut interest rates in September. A different answer is: Follow the 10-year Treasury yield mortgage rates available on the internet. Mortgage rates track Treasury yields.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE STREET

West: Are we the champions?

By Allen West | TownHall.com Greetings, y'all, I am still on cloud nine after my alma mater, the Tennessee Volunteers, won the College World Series and completed a record-setting 60-win season. It has been a while since we had a national championship on Rocky Top. I remember when the Vols won the first BCS college football championship against Florida State in Tempe, Arizona. I was stationed at Ft. Bragg (yeah, that’s what it is) and ran out into a cold North Carolina evening to scream. The topic of this missive is a play on the words from the song by the rock band Queen, “We Are the Champions.” We all know the words to that song and the refrain. “We are the champions, my friend, And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end. We are the champions, we are the champions, No tim...

Supreme Court rules ex-Presidents have substantial protection from prosecution

By Brooke Singman , Brianna Herlihy  | Fox News The Supreme Court ruled Monday in Trump v. United States that a former president has substantial immunity from prosecution for official acts committed while in office, but not for unofficial acts. In a 6-3 decision, the Court sent the matter back down to a lower court, as the justices did not apply the ruling to whether or not former President Trump is immune from prosecution regarding actions related to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. "The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority.  "The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying...

Troops may face inflated drug costs under Tricare, lawmakers say

By Karen Jowers | Air Force Times A bipartisan group of 24 congressional lawmakers is questioning whether the Pentagon’s pharmacy contract may be driving up drug costs and limiting access to medication for Tricare beneficiaries, while overcharging independent pharmacies and taxpayers. The lawmakers are concerned that the Defense Health Agency has decided to retain Express Scripts as the sole pharmacy benefit manager for Tricare, the military insurance system serving 9.6 million troops, retirees and their families. In a letter sent Wednesday to Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Lester Martinez-Lopez and DHA director Army Lt. Gen. Telita Crosland, the lawmakers questioned whether Express Scripts may be using anticompetitive tactics to overcharge Tricare. Express S...

Gaines: Are your ‘damn roads’ fixed yet?  Have they turned a single shovel?

By Cory Gaines | Guest Columnist, Colorado Accountability Project Back in 2021, our governor, upon passage of SB 21-260 proclaimed that we'd finally fix our "damn roads". While driving to Denver the other day and having my teeth rattle in my head on a rough section of road (my friend Jerry Sonnenberg has said you better wear your spurs to hang on), I thought back wistfully to those claims.  Far from being a measure that collected money to actually fix the surfaces our cars and commerce move on, the bill itself created numerous enterprises only some of which actually work to fix the roads. I got curious for an update on how much was collected so far and where it's gone, so I asked around.  Today's posts will be the results of that digging.   This first post w...

Colorado wolf tracker map shows new exploration in areas of Summit, Larimer counties

By Spencer Wilson | CBS Colorado According to a new collared wolf activity map published by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Colorado wolf territory has grown and spread over the last month further south, east, and west. This, while leaving out of a small section of Routt County the wolves had previously spent time in.  According to the map (which depicts watershed locations, meaning if a wolf steps foot into a new watershed and then steps back out, it will still show up instead of actual locations) gray wolves have pushed into Larimer County just outside Red Feather Lakes, and southwest into portions of Eagle and Rio Blanco counties.  READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

A mysterious monolith appeared in rural Colorado. Do we really want to know where it came from?

By Parker Yamasaki | The Colorado Sun On top of a hill prickly with dry grass and cacti is a four-sided structure that looks like the sky, the hills and the small crowd of people standing next to it, but it’s none of those things. It’s not a riddle, it’s a monolith. Perhaps the 247th spotted worldwide since 2020.  It appeared unexpectedly on Sunday in Bellvue, northwest of Fort Collins, on the expansive property of Rob and Lori Graves, who own Morning Fresh Dairy Farm, a Noosa Yoghurt factory, and the Howling Cow Cafe. A cafe manager spotted the structure in the distance as she arrived at work in the morning, but didn’t think anything of it until a customer came in and asked to be pointed toward “the alien structure.”  The Howling Cow has been part of...

Sloan: Leaving the door ajar on a wealth tax

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice The progressive’s unquenchable appetite for exacting every last ounce of flesh from those who have accumulated more wealth than Bernie Sanders thinks appropriate may have gotten a bit of unsolicited help from the Supreme Court last week. The Court, in Moore v. U.S., upheld a provision from the 2017 tax reform, the mandatory repatriation tax (MRT), that assigned a one-time tax on shareholders of predominantly U.S.-controlled foreign firms, on retained (and therefore untaxed) earnings proportional to their ownership stake. The 7-2 ruling – with Thomas and Gorsuch dissenting – was rather narrow, as Justice Kavanaugh took pains to note in his opinion joined by Chief Justice Roberts, focusing solely on the specifics of the case...
