Programs in 2,000 cities nationwide are lowering crime, but DOJ is bullying cities to revoke laws

By Judicial Watch The Biden Administration is threatening — and has sued — local governments and law enforcement agencies across the country that have implemented measures to curb an epidemic of crime, drugs and gang violence in rental properties asserting that the policies “unfairly penalize communities of color.”  The popular laws, enacted by thousands of cities nationwide are commonly known as “crime-free” and “nuisance” programs that restrict housing based on criminal and arrest records and punish landlords and tenants with excessive calls to police and emergency services or those engaged in criminal activity. To improve living conditions in mainly low-income rentals 2,000 cities across 48 states have adopted crime-free and nuisance policies, according to the Department of Ju...

When Fed Chair Powell speaks to central bank Friday in Jackson Hole, he might disappoint

By Jake Smith | The Street Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will take the stage at the central bank's annual retreat in Jackson Hole Friday with renewed confidence that inflation is receding and the economy is poised, albeit delicately, for a so-called soft landing. That knowledge, cemented by recent data, a resilient stock market and fading recession risks, will likely form the tone of his keynote address to attendees at the central bank's symposium in the northwest Wyoming resort town, which will be tracked by investors on Wall Street and around the world.

GOP senators want to know who funds Pro-Palestinian protests, Biden Admin brushes off inquiry

By Jake Smith | Daily Caller The Biden administration brushed off a top GOP lawmaker’s request for information regarding organizations backing pro-Palestinian protests, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Pro-Palestinian protests and riots have surged throughout the country for months, most recently at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chigaco this week. Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa and 15 other senators wrote to the IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel in May urging the agency to open an investigation into nonprofit organizations supporting certain pro-Palestinian groups and movements, and whether those organizations’ support jeopardized their tax-exempt status. (RELATED: Gov. Josh Shapiro Takes Jab At Fel...

Daniel Davidson: In fake news infomercial, the DNC has been one long litany of stupid, obvious lies

By John Daniel Davidson | Commentary, The Federalist It almost goes without saying that what Democrats are putting on at the DNC this week in Chicago is a simulacrum of democracy, a mimicry of the excitement and drama that might have come from a deliberative process of Democrat Party voters choosing their presidential candidate. None of it is real. The DNC has all the trappings of a major political party convention but without any of the substance. Not a single Democrat voter cast a primary ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris, yet Democrats are going through the motions as if that’s exactly what happened.

McGhee White: Earth to Democrats, why can’t you stop trying to appease the worst of Gen Z

By Kaylee McGhee White| The Washington Examiner The Democratic National Convention has barely begun, and it is already marred by liberal lunacy and protests from anti-Israel radicals, both of which are being driven by the very voters Democrats are trying to court: leftist Gen Zers. Vice President Kamala Harris, who, barring yet another intraparty coup, will be coronated this week as the party’s presidential nominee, seems to believe that success at the polls this November depends on winning over my generation of young voters. In fact, she seems to have handed over her entire campaign strategy to fresh-out-of-college 20-year-olds who think memes and “vibes” are an acceptable replacement for policy and substance.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHIN...

Sen. John Hickenlooper, who once said he wasn’t fit for the job, wants one more term in U.S. Senate

By Tara Suter | The Hill Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper (D) said Wednesday that he will run for reelection just once. “I’m only gonna do two terms,” Hickenlooper told Punchbowl News’ Andrew Desiderio. “I’ve said it first here, two-term limit, oath of conscience.” Hickenlooper, the state’s former governor, gained a seat in the upper chamber by way of winning a key race against former Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) in 2020. “There should be more people that are involved in local, municipal politics and governing and state politics and governing, who [get] into the Senate so that they bring those experiences with ‘em,” said Hickenlooper, who has also served as mayor of Denver.

The Free Press: In her own basement strategy, how long can Kamala Harris avoid the press?

By The Editors | Commentary, The Free Press It has been a month since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. And a glorious month it’s been for Democrats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit. rats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit. But with all the kumbaya—despite fears of a 1968 reprise, the Dems have put on a mostly drama-free show in Chicago—Harris has avoided saying a single substantive thing, either about her record...

RFK Jr. in talks about a possible endorsement of Trump

By Alex Isenstadt, Brittany Gibson and Adam Wren | Politico Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is in talks with the Trump campaign about a possible endorsement of the former president, according to four people familiar with the conversations granted anonymity to discuss the ongoing conversations. The discussions between the two sides have been going on for months and accelerated before the Republican National Convention in July, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions. Donald Trump Jr., conservative media personality Tucker Carlson and Trump donor Omeed Malik have been key players in facilitating the conversations, the person said. Donald Trump Jr. has been particularly concerned about the prospect that Kennedy could siphon off votes that would otherwise go to the former presid...

Oprah Winfrey makes surprise DNC appearance to rail against man she once considered running for office with

By Andrew Mark Miller | Fox News CHICAGO — Legendary talk show host Oprah Winfrey made a surprise appearance at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, when she slammed former President Trump and his vice president 24 years after she suggested he would make a good president. "We know all the old tricks and tropes that are designed to distract us from what actually matters," Winfrey told the crowd at the United Center. "But we are beyond ridiculous tweets and lies and foolery. These are complicated times, people, and they require adult conversation. And I welcome those conversations because civilized debate is vital to democracy, and it is the best of America." In another veiled shot at Trump, Winfrey said, "Now, there's a certain candidate that says if we j...

After no policy detail and only brief, rare media exposure, Harris will accept nomination

By Wendy Husebø | Breitbart Vice President Kamala Harris will accept the Democrats’ nomination on Thursday without sitting for one interview, giving one press conference, or providing many policy details since joining the race 32 days ago — July 21, 2024. The strategy is notable for three reasons. First, it is a rinse and repeat of President Joe Biden’s 2020 “basement” strategy to avoid public scrutiny, which counters the multitude of exchanges the media typically conduct when presidential candidates enter races. Second, the strategy underscores the Democrats’ perceived worry about their candidate’s likability and ability to speak off the cuff about policies without delivering a devastating gaffe. More is here on Harris’s word salads. READ THE FULL ...
