Tim Walz stumped by question on inflation; repeats lie about Trump ‘sales tax’

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, was stumped Tuesday when asked by a reporter to explain what he and Vice President Kamala Harris would do for families struggling financially. In an interview with local Macon, Georgia, CBS affiliate WMAZ, Walz first said that he and Harris understood the problem because they are “middle class.” He then offered a series of her proposals unrelated to inflation: I tell them Kamala Harris and I know something about it being middle-class folks. Our family sit at the table trying to pay the bill. We know coming out of the COVID pandemic with prices where they were, that people need to see some relief. And I think that’s why Kamala Harris has put out a plan — especially around home ow...

MacKinnon: Pause to appreciate the immense courage Trump is displaying daily on the campaign trail

By Douglas MacKinnon | Commentary, TownHall.com After the latest scare on Sunday, where the Secret Service opened fire on a man with an AK-47 outside of Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach while former President Donald J. Trump was on the course, I believe we all need pause to appreciate the immense courage Trump displays daily on the campaign trail. This is what President Trump put out immediately after the incident: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!  Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me.” Legend.  That is the only word that comes to mind. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT TOWNHALL.COM

‘Largest deportation’ in history to begin in Aurora, Springfield (Ohio), Trump says

By Luige Del Puerto and Nico Brambila | Colorado Politics Republican candidate Donald Trump on Friday promised to execute the "largest deportation" in American history, which he said will begin in Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio — two cities in the middle of a political firestorm following reports of a Venezuelan gang infiltrating apartment complexes in the former and claims of immigrants eating household pets in the latter.    "We're going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country, and we're going to start with Springfield and Aurora," Trump said at a press conference at his golf resort near Los Angeles. "We're bringing them back to Venezuela," the former president also said, asserting anew that a notorious gang from the troubled South Americ...

‘I’m glad President Trump was OK’: Colorado Republicans react to second assassination attempt

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice The second attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump in as many months on Sunday drew the ire and well-wishes by many on the political right in Colorado. "I’m glad President Trump was OK, and I’m thankful for the law enforcement that have detained the shooter," Gabe Evans, the Republican nominee for the 8th Congressional District, wrote on Twitter/X. Mr. Trump was five holes into a golf round at Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach, Fla., when the muzzle of a long gun was noticed through the shrubbery, about 400 yards away, according to media reports. Though initially described as an AK-47 rifle, court documents Fox News reviewed detail the long gun was an SKS-style long gun. On Fox News, Sen. Lindsey Graham received a call from Mr...

Trump promises ‘large deportations’ in Aurora during Friday press conference

By Jeff Anastasio | Denver7 Speaking at a Friday press conference in California, former president Donald Trump – for the second time this week – singled out Aurora promising to conduct “large deportations” of immigrants. Trump’s comments followed Tuesday’s debate, in which he cited Venezuelan gang activity in Aurora claiming “they are taking over the towns.” Aurora mayor Mike Coffman – a Republican – refuted those claims to Denver7 on Wednesday. "There's no question there have been some issues, but it's been so dramatically exaggerated that it’s the entire city being overrun by criminal or gang activity," Coffman told Denver7. "That couldn’t be further from the truth." READ THE FULL STORY AT DENVER7

Trump announces new plan to end overtime taxes

By Mabinty Quarshie | Washington Examiner Former President Donald Trump announced a new economic proposal banning any taxes on overtime pay for people who work more than 40 hours per week during a Tuscon, Arizona, rally Thursday evening. “I’m also announcing that as part of our additional tax cuts, we will end all taxes on overtime,” he said in his appearance in the battleground state. “That gives people more of an incentive to work.” “The people who work overtime are among the hardest working citizens in our country, and for too long, no one in Washington has been looking out for them,” Trump continued. “It’s time for the working man and woman to finally catch a break, and that’s what we’re doing because this is a good one. And I think it’s going to ...

ABC Debate ‘moderators’ shamelessly shielded Harris from her record

By Ben Shaprio | Daily Signal In the lead-up to this week’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the polls showed a dead heat, both nationally and in seven swing states. The 2024 race is, by all measures, the closest presidential race we have seen in our lifetimes. But the usual presidential math applies: The person upon whom the race becomes a referendum loses.  For Trump, then, the task of the debate was threefold: to hammer the point that Vice President Kamala Harris is responsible for the failed policies of the Biden-Harris White House, and that he is the agent of change—a proposition with which the majority of Americans tend to agree; to drive home that Harris is actually dangerously far left, and that she is lying about her current po...
