Kamala Harris unveiling a new ‘accent’ during Philadelphia rally a week before the 2024 election

By Katelyn Caralle | Daily Mail Kamala Harris can't seem to stop switching her accent. The vice president is once again being roasted online for using a 'fake accent' to assimilate to a predominantly black audience. While speaking at a church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, social media users highlighted a point where they said Harris began speaking like a southern Baptist preacher and quoted from the Bible's book of Psalms. 'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, but joy cometh in the morning. And church morning is on its way,' Harris said in a widely-shared clip. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY MAIL

Marshall: Farmers and ranchers, the backbone of America, are turning to Trump to deliver

By Roger Marshall | Commentary, Newsweek Our farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our economy. Sadly, under the Biden-Harris administration, farmers, ranchers, and rural America have been sidelined. As a Kansan and fifth-generation farm kid, who now serves on the Senate Agriculture Committee, the very idea of a candidate who doesn't understand the value of agriculture is unfit to hold the nuclear codes. Food security is national security, and we need a leader in the White House who realizes the importance of agriculture, trade deals, and the "art of the deal" that gives America the upper hand. For four years, the Biden-Harris administration has declared war on American agriculture. Their reckless policies have plunged net farm income to its lowest point in decades. The ...

National Review: The Biden-Harris Iran scandal gets worse

By Editorial Board | National Review The source of last week’s leak of U.S. intelligence about Israel’s plans to strike Iran, which has occasioned an investigation, isn’t yet known. What should be obvious, though, is that no individual who has had extensive contact with Iranian intelligence and diplomatic officials, and who has deferred to the direction of those officials before, should have ever been put in a sensitive position in the first place. The Biden administration has ignored this rather simple rule. The most glaring example of its questionable handling of the Iran portfolio is Biden Iran envoy Robert Malley’s continued employment by the State Department amid a probe into his handling of classified materials and the possibility that he shared information with the reg...

Denver’s mayor ‘factually incorrect’ as he argued for sales tax hike, state senator says

By Andrew Kenney | Denverite Mayor Mike Johnston recently faced a tough question about his proposal to pay for affordable housing by raising taxes, and he appeared to get a significant fact wrong when he gave the answer. The question was about Ballot Measure 2R, which would collect about $100 million a year by raising local sales taxes. Paul Karolyi, a host of the City Cast Denver podcast, asked Johnston in an interview why he wanted to increase sales taxes. Sales taxes are regressive, meaning they have a greater proportional impact on lower-income people. Karolyi asked why the measure didn’t tax property owners instead. READ THE FULL STORY AT DENVERITE

How three fraudulent ballots got through the mail-in voting process in Mesa County

By Craig Hall and Brandon Leuallen, The Business Times Even with several tiers of signature auditing in place, the sheer volume of votes in process leaves Colorado’s system open to fraud and mistakes while putting the onus on individuals. According to Mesa County Clerk Bobbie Gross, the 12 fraudulent ballots under current investigation were all set aside for the envelope signatures not matching by the automated equipment used by the county. “And while that’s all part of the process, the factis our equipment sets aside about 50% of early ballot envelopes due to signatures not matching. Unless it’s an exact, or almost exact, match, the equipment kicks the envelope out,” said Gross, “And not all counties in Colorado even have the automated equipmentneeded for the first step in the autho...

Twenty-four former CPW commissioners urge vote against Prop. 127’s lion hunting ban

By Rachel Gabel  | The Fence Post With ballots being marked across the country, 24 former Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commissioners are urging voters to reject a measure seeking to ban mountain lion and bobcat hunting in the state. The former commissioners, including Gov. Jared Polis appointees, represent decades of service to all stakeholders of CPW and said CPW is renowned for its science-based adaptive management practices to balance the needs of wildlife, ecosystems and communities. “Proposition 127 undermines science-based wildlife management and undercuts over 125 years of investment from CPW that has resulted in both the recovery of and sustainable populations of wildlife in Colorado,” they said. Former Commissioner Gaspar Perricone said he hopes voters will pause before ca...

Bzdek: When judges break the rules, it’s time to judge the judges

By Vince Bzdek | Commentary, The Gazette Despite five years of searing reports by investigative reporter David Migoya into serious problems afflicting the Colorado Supreme Court, the commission that reviews judicial performance gave all the justices on the ballot this year glowing recommendations. The two most senior members of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Monica M. Márquez and Justice Brian D. Boatright, plus junior Justice Maria E. Berkenkotter, will be on the ballot for a retention vote. Now it’s up to voters to decide if their coverup and unethical handling of a pay-for-silence scandal, their stonewalling of investigations into that scandal, and their rule breaking and conflicts of interest uncovered by Migoya warrant a “NO” vote. The three justices involved in t...

Senate District 16 Showdown: Robyn Carnes vs. Chris Kolker

By Heidi Ganahl | Rocky Mountain Voice In the race for Colorado’s Senate District 16, which represents Denver’s western suburbs, residents have a choice between incumbent Democratic Sen. Chris Kolker or Republican challenger Robyn Carnes. Each candidate brings a unique perspective, but they differ sharply in approach and priorities. Carnes, a Centennial City Council member and business leader, aims to tackle affordability, housing and public safety with a fresh and service-oriented mindset. Kolker, elected in 2021, seeks to continue his legislative work, but may face scrutiny over his effectiveness on core issues like cost of living, housing and his approach to public safety. Carnes brings a wealth of community-oriented experience, serving as a Centennial City Council member and a...
