Young: Kamala Harris continues to underperform in critical states

By J.T. Young, Commentary | Commentary, The Hill Kamala Harris is continuing to underperform across the polling spectrum.   Pick any average from the multitude of polling views — two-way, multicandidate, battleground states, and even individual battleground states — and Harris is running consistently below where Joe Biden was in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016.   So it’s no surprise Democrats are growing nervous.

Ciarrocchi: How Kamala Harris is doing everything possible to lose pivotal Pennsylvania

By Guy Ciarrocchi, Commentary | New York Post Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have a Pennsylvania problem. Harris, her team and national Democrats finally know it. But does their knowledge come too late? And can they fix it? With his disastrous debate performance in June, President Biden showed the nation he’s old, floundering and not up to the job. Polls confirmed it. National Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, along with Team Harris, sprang into action. Something had to be done. The “Democratic Politburo” decided — on behalf of 75 million Democratic voters — what the party’s best option was. Out with “Uncle Joe,” and in with the new and improved product: Kamala Harris.

Marcus: Kamala Harris can no longer hide from her dangerous stance on men playing in girls’ sports

By David Marcus, Commentary | Fox News For over a decade now, the issue of trangenderism has gained increasing prominence in American politics, which is natural when personal choices begin to intersect with public policy, and for Vice President Kamala Harris, it has risen above the surface at the worst possible time. There have always been policy concerns around the idea that men can simply decide they are women. There were questions about women’s shelters and prisons, locker rooms and bathrooms, but nothing puts quite as fine a point on the issue as men competing in women’s sports. For his part, former President Trump has a clear and concise answer to the troubling phenomenon, telling a Fox News town hall this week, "It’s such an easy question. Everybody in the room and...

Ganahl: Dear Jena, let’s get real about remote access

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado’s elections are far from secure. Rather than being a "gold standard" of integrity, they are a gilded mess of lies and half-measures. Ten years ago, I handed off my “baby,” a $100 million pet care franchise built from scratch, so I could fight for the American dream I have been so blessed to live. I had seen how our politicians and government were tearing opportunities away from our children. Government was making it harder and harder to start and grow a business, raise our families, and live freely. So, I went to work. First, I launched a non-profit to fight for justice in our court system: Moms Fight Back. Then, I was the last Republican to win a statewide race in Colorado as regent at the University of Colorado. For six...

Shideler: Drones are swarming U.S. military bases, and our incompetent bureaucracy won’t do anything about it

By Kyle Shideler, Commentary | The Federalist 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 THE FEDERALIST Editor’s note: O...

Quinn Sullivan: While some choose ‘nice guys,’ let’s side with the fighters

By Michael Quinn Sullivan | Commentary, Texas Scorecard It has become all the rage within the woke circles of evangelicalism for “conservative” pastors to take Donald Trump to task in a way they never have with other occupants of—or aspirants to—the White House. They focus on his style without considering results or substance. This isn’t surprising since that’s how many operate in their own ministries. They want us focused on how they play the right music, have fun social groups, or are aspiring members of the new intelligentsia. They hope we will ignore the scripturally irrelevant self-help pablum dispensed from their pulpits. The real problem is that too many pastors and other church leaders are threatened by a “profane” businessman who delivered on his promises to accomplish th...

Caldara: State power weaponized against out-of-favor gay group

By Jon Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado Being gay but not holding a liberal opinion makes you a hate group. It’s fine to be part of the LGBTQIA+ crowd in Colorado. In fact, you’ll be celebrated, and, if you wish, officially honored with a flag that has flown over the Capitol. However, if you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community but don’t believe small children should be indoctrinated into thinking they were born to the wrong gender, well then, you’re a hater and must be canceled. So says our state government. According to the state of Colorado, only straights can be against indoctrinating little children to want to mutilate their bodies.

Morgan: Trump’s so right to say he’d ban trans athletes in women’s sports

By Piers Morgan, Commentary | New York Post Sometimes, Donald Trump hits the common-sense nail smack-bang on the head. After years of cowardly public officials pathetically tiptoeing around the increasingly farcical, and grotesquely unfair, issue of biologically male trans athletes competing in women’s sports, the former and quite possibly next president of the US spat out a potentially very consequential truth bomb. “You just ban it,” he said during a Fox News town hall on Wednesday, to huge cheers from the audience. “The president bans it. You just don’t let it happen.” READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE NEW YORK POST Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in commentary pieces are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the management ...
