Fact Check: Kamala claims she was non-partisan prosecutor after targeting conservatives

By Tracy Ross | Breitbart CLAIM: “In my career as a prosecutor I never looked at a a victim or witness and asked them, ‘Are you a Republican or a Democrat?’.” VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Harris targeted conservatives, including a pro-life filmmaker and non-profit groups. Vice President Kamala Harris repeated a line Thursday in a town hall with Oprah Winfrey in which she claimed that she had never discriminated against victims or witnesses on the basis of their political views.

Democrats privately worry the Teamsters non-endorsement is a warning sign

By Holly Otterbein and Elena Schneider | Politico Eight years after Donald Trump shattered the Blue Wall, some Democrats worry he could do it again. Most polls show Kamala Harris tied or leading Trump in the critical battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin after a commanding performance at the debate. Party leaders are projecting confidence publicly. But on the ground, jittery elected officials, strategists and allies are quietly pointing to warning signs for the vice president. The Teamsters withholding an endorsement from Harris this week — after internal polling showed most respondents backing Trump — is sparking fresh concerns that the GOP nominee could have higher-than-expected support among union members, especially men. Labor leaders in other sectors att...

Secret Service boss says vital info not relayed over radio, delaying response to would-be rally assassin

By Michael Ruiz and David Spunt | Fox News U.S. Secret Service (USSS) leaders are holding a 1 p.m. update on the agency's internal investigation following the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Acting Director Ronald Rowe said the agency had confirmed "communication deficiencies" that slowed its response when the gunman climbed up on a rooftop just outside the secure perimeter. "For example, the Secret Service did not co-locate its security room with local law enforcement," he said. "There was an over-reliance on mobile devices, resulting in information being siloed."

House votes to increase Secret Service protections for Presidential contenders Trump, Harris

By Tracy Ross | Washington Examiner The House voted unanimously to increase Secret Service protections for presidential candidates, giving them the same level of security as sitting presidents while traveling on the campaign trail.  Lawmakers passed a resolution in a 405-0 vote on Friday that would enhance protections for former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris with rare, widespread bipartisan support. The legislation comes in response to the two assassination attempts against Trump during this cycle, which prompted condemnations from both sides of the aisle to crack down on political violence.  “This is not a partisan issue,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said this week. “We have a nominee for president that’s probably the most threatened...

GOP panel demands Treasury records on ‘potentially fraudulent’ donations through Democratic fundraising platform

By Josh Christenson | New York Post A Republican-led House committee fired off a letter to the Treasury Department on Friday that demanded access to any Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) as part of a new investigation into a Democratic fundraising platform’s “potentially fraudulent” donations.

The suspicious activities may include “money laundering, counterfeit credit/debit card, credit card or debit card fraud, false statements, wire transfer fraud, or identity theft,” Comer said.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell says immigration surge boosted unemployment rate

By Michelle Wells | Fox Business Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday that immigration is helping push the unemployment rate higher as they enter the labor force and look for jobs. Powell was asked about whether the level of job creation in the economy, which has been a little more than 100,000 on average for the last three months, is alarming and if the labor market can continue slowing down through fewer job openings as opposed to job losses. "On the job creation… it depends on the inflows," Powell said. "So if you're having millions of people come into the labor force, and you're creating 100,000 jobs, you're going to see unemployment go up. So it really depends on what's the trend underlying the volatility of people coming into the country." "We understand the...

Kamala Harris’ tax plan could cost U.S. nearly 800k jobs, add $1.7T in tax revenue, study finds

By Eric Revell  | Fox Business Vice President Kamala Harris' tax plan could cost the U.S. economy nearly 800,000 jobs, a new analysis by the Tax Foundation finds. Harris' tax plan, which contains a variety of tax increases, cuts and credits, is based largely on President Biden's budget – though the vice president has offered her own policy ideas since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.  Overall, the Tax Foundation analysis finds a loss of 786,000 full-time equivalent jobs over the long run under Harris' plan when compared to baseline projections, as well as 2% decline in long-run GDP and a 1.2% dip in long-run wages, while bringing in nearly $1.7 trillion in additional tax revenue over the next decade.

US ‘sleepwalking’ into WWIII, experts warn nation is underprepared

By Caitlin McFall  | Fox News The U.S. is "sleepwalking" into a global war against its top adversaries united under an axis of "malign partnerships," and experts are sounding the alarm that neither the U.S. military nor the public are prepared for World War III. In late July, a body of non-governmental national security experts, first tasked by Congress in 2022 under the Commission on the National Defense Strategy, released an evaluation of the U.S.’ overall security strategy put forward by the Biden administration two years ago. The commission found that after decades of post-Cold War policies that cut defense spending and reduced investments in the security sector, Washington, D.C., is "not prepared" to counter Beijing in open conflict, let alone a multi-fron...

Ganahl: The Republican movement of health, freedom and personal liberty

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As the 2024 election cycle unfolds, the Republican Party is embracing a new wave of support from health-conscious and liberty-minded voters. With former President Donald Trump at the helm, the party is tapping into concerns over personal freedom, government overreach and the nation’s health. A significant figure in this movement is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., whose message of "Making America Healthy Again" (MAHA) resonates with a diverse and growing segment of the electorate. Joining this powerful message is Nicole Shanahan, a leader and advocate for tech-driven solutions to health and environmental issues, whose influence is beginning to reshape the narrative on these critical topics. While Kennedy may have ended his own presidential...

Lara Trump details how ‘military-age men’ use children to cross border

By Jamie Joseph | Washington Examiner Republican National Committee Co-Chairwoman Lara Trump detailed a tactic she said illegal immigrants are using to cross over the border, which involves using “the same child” repeatedly for different crossings. Trump recently toured the southern border to see the border crisis herself, during which she “learned a lot.” She explained that the number of women who are sexually assaulted while crossing the border is close to over 50%, a “much higher” number than what is reported. “I learned a term ‘recycled child,’ that’s a child that the Border Patrol sees four, five, six, maybe even seven times,” Trump said on Fox News’s Hannity. “The same child coming over the border with different military-aged men so that those men ca...
