Unearthed report reveals powerful Harris ally ‘willing to share’ resources from Black businesses with CCP

By Cameron Cawthorne , Andrew Mark Miller  | Fox News A powerful ally of Vice President Kamala Harris, who she has praised as an "extraordinary leader" who exhibits "courageous leadership," met with multiple CCP officials during a business trip to China, where he vowed to "[spread] the voice of Black businesses," Fox News Digital has learned. Ron Busby, who has visited the Biden-Harris White House dozens of times and is the longtime president of the U.S. Black Chambers, met with several CCP officials during a previously unreported trip to China, a Fox News Digital review found. Busby traveled to Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi'an for a 10-day trip as part of a delegation of New York government officials and business leaders, including then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s chief diversity o...

Kamala Harris urges black men to vote for her to legalize marijuana — despite convicting 1,900 as DA

By Steven Nelson | New York Post Vice President Kamala Harris urged black men to back her presidential candidacy Tuesday by pledging to legalize marijuana — despite overseeing more than 1,900 marijuana convictions as San Francisco district attorney between 2004 and 2011. Harris, 59, made the statement as she prepared for an afternoon interview with radio host Charlamagne tha God — on whose program she claimed in 2019 she had smoked marijuana in college, inviting allegations of hypocrisy over her prosecutorial record. “Kamala Harris will legalize recreational marijuana — breaking down unjust barriers that hold Black men and other Americans back and making sure Black Americans have opportunities to succeed as the marketplace takes shape,” she tweeted ahead of her...

Sloan: Do we all – Democrats and Republicans – like nuclear now?

By Kelly Sloan | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice We have not been afforded any authoritative glimpses into the proposed energy policies of either Mr. Trump or Ms. Harris, leaving us with only the conventional jousting positions with which to make comparisons. For Democrats, that generally means concerns over climate change exceeding every other consideration – meaning the minimizing of the use of oil and gas; for Republicans, it generally means strengthening national energy posture – meaning maximizing production of domestic supplies of oil and gas.  Those battle lines seem relatively inelastic and are expected to hold; but an interesting evolution has been quietly taking place on the left side of the aisle, and I’m not talking about Harris’ new-found appreciation of frackin...

Juvenile illegal immigrant gang members behind robbery spree stay out of jail due to age

By  Michael Ruiz | Fox News Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan prison gang whose name means Train of Aragua, is putting the loco in locomotive with a New York City robbery spree that sees its young members repeatedly stay out of jail. Juvenile illegal immigrants in the gang have been attacking people in the Big Apple's famed Times Square and other landmark locations but remain free due to the Empire State's lenient laws on juvenile crime, according to the NYPD's Detective Bureau Assistant Chief Jason Savino. "It's shocking to say the least, and we've seen a progression with this group," Savino told "Fox & Friends" Tuesday morning. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

US boots hit ground in Israel as threat from Iran looms

By Jake Smith | Daily Caller U.S. servicemembers arrived in Israel on Monday amid the country’s chaotic multifront war with various actors in the region, and more troops will arrive soon, the Pentagon said on Tuesday. The Pentagon previously announced on Sunday that the troops would be deployed to the Middle East along with a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile battery system, meant to help Israel defend itself against potential aerial attacks against missile attacks from Iran. The approximately 100 troops that arrived on Monday will help operate the THAAD system, though the Pentagon wouldn’t say when it would be operational, given the sensitive security nature of the situation. “Over the coming days, additional U.S. military personnel and THAAD battery components ...

Bill Clinton: Laken Riley would still be alive if Biden-Harris Admin vetted immigrants

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist Just when it seemed that Kamala Harris’ campaign woes couldn’t get any worse, former President Bill Clinton admitted that the death of a Georgia girl, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien, is the fault of the Biden-Harris border invasion. The moment came on Sunday when the 42nd president was campaigning for Harris-Walz in Central Georgia and referenced Laken Riley, a 22-year-old University of Georgia nursing student whom Jose Ibarra allegedly murdered earlier this year. As The Federalist reported, Ibarra illegally entered the United States in 2022. In a blow to Harris’ narrative as a “tough on crime” prosecutor who’s serious about border security, the former president acknowledged that Riley would still be alive ha...

Walgreens to close 1,200 stores as part of turnaround effort

By Daniella Genovese  | Fox Business Walgreens plans to close at least 1,200 stores over the next three years as the pharmacy giant seeks to reduce costs and turn around operations under a new leader.  One of the largest drugstore chains in the country, Walgreens said about 500 stores are slated to close as early as fiscal year 2025. In June, the company had announced its intention to close a "significant" number of underperforming stores across the U.S. as it contended with profitability challenges and declining margins. But CEO Tim Wentworth, who took over in October 2023, didn't give an estimate at the time of how many stores would be affected. He noted that a "meaningful percent" of the underperforming locations would shutter.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

By Josh Christenson | New York Post The publisher of Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2009 book on criminal justice reform is redirecting “very sensitive” inquiries about apparently plagiarized passages to the highest levels, according to the conservative activist who revealed the copying.
