Commentary: Kamala Harris’s holistic failure is reason voters want a change in direction

By Washington Examiner | Commentary Vice President Kamala Harris got one thing right in her speech to the Economic Club of Pittsburgh on Wednesday. “The American economy is the most powerful force for innovation and wealth creation in the world,” Harris said. “We just need to move past the failed policies that we have proven don’t work.” True enough. We need to move past the proven failure of the past four years’ economic policies. Harris is the presidential candidate who has been in power during those years, and there is a reason voters want a change in direction. MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle, who supports Harris for president, touched on this problem in a follow-up interview with Harris, asking the vice president what she would tell the majo...

Harris heads to southern border looking to flip script on immigration criticisms

By Paul Steinhauser  | Fox News Vice President Harris stops in battleground Arizona on Friday to hold a campaign event along the U.S. southern border with Mexico as the Democrat presidential nominee works to turn the issue of immigration and border security from a liability into a strength. Harris has faced frequent attacks from her Republican opponent, former President Trump, and his allies who argue she's weak on border security, an issue that many Republicans see as the vice president's political Achilles' heel. Harris has faced intense criticism over the surge of migrants across the nation's southern border during the first three years of President Biden's administration. The Trump campaign, on the eve of Harris' first border visit as a presidential nominee, called i...

A race with no candidate: 7th Judicial District attorney Seth Ryan withdraws

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Citing a nationwide shortage of attorneys and an inability to hire and retain them, along with for political and personal reasons, 7th Judicial District Attorney Seth Ryan, a Republican, is resigning. He gave a little more than a one-month notice and will not be in place on Election Day. Jessica Waggoner serves as the assistant district attorney, although it was not made clear whether she would lead the office following Ryan's departure. The 7th Judicial District includes the counties of Delta, Gunnison, Hinsdale, Montrose, Ouray and San Miguel. There are 77,286 registered, active voters in those counties. "There is a nationwide and statewide shortage of attorneys that has been exacerbated by an economy that has shown historically low unem...

‘Not the gold standard, a bit of fool’s gold’: Ganahl finds areas of election concern which must be addressed before Nov. 5

https://youtu.be/RgG-ysUlvq4 Ganahl talks about her concerns with Colorado's elections during a press conference outside the Capitol on Thursday afternoon. Lengthy analysis and research into one county’s 2022 election results has brought up some significant concerns, Heidi Ganahl, the Republican candidate for governor in 2022, announced Thursday in a press conference. “I’m concerned that Colorado’s elections are not the gold standard as proclaimed," Ganahl said, “but a bit of fool’s gold.” She is the founder and president of Rocky Mountain Voice, and a noted advocate for free and fair elections. “Verifying the integrity of election systems is not the exclusive role of law enforcement, but the right and duty of the citizens, and the delegated responsibility of...

What did Kamala Harris do with a $42 billion project? Well…

By Katie Pavlish | Town Hall During an interview with MSNBC Wednesday night, Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris promised to build three million homes should she be elected President in November. She also made the promise during an economic speech Wednesday.  But Harris' record shows she isn't capable of building anything, and it's been costing Americans billions of dollars.  First, Harris was the tie-breaking vote for the "Inflation Reduction Act," which even President Joe Biden admits was a massive handout to the global warming lobby, with expensive subsidies and tax breaks. She also advocated for Biden's infrastructure bill, which included $8 billion to build 500,000 electric vehicle chargers across the country by 2030.  So far, they've built e...

Harris struggles to provide clear answers on economy, taxes, and unions in MSNBC interview

By Brianna Lyman | The Federalist Ruhle did concede that Harris couldn’t “give a clear and direct answer.” For perhaps the first time, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle was the smartest person in the room during her Wednesday interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The interview went about as well as you could expect between a candidate who has dodged press questions and a “journalist” who justified Harris’ lack of availability to the American public because “she’s running against Trump.” Ruhle did concede that Harris couldn’t “give a clear and direct answer,” though couched that by saying it was “okay because we’re not talking about clear and direct issues.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

Von Spakovsky: Get ready for another mail-in ballot fiasco

By Hans Von Spakovsky, commentary | Daily Signal Many states are sending out mail-in ballots now for the Nov. 5 presidential election. Yet at the same time that so many more voters are depending on the mail to cast their ballots, the two leading national organizations of election officials wrote the U.S. Postal Service to demand immediate action to avoid confusion and chaos with mail-in ballots. “We implore you to take immediate and tangible corrective action to address the ongoing performance issues with USPS election mail service,” wrote the National Association of State Election Directors and the National Association of Secretaries of State. “Failure to do so will risk limiting voter participation and trust in the election process.”  READ THE FULL S...

Harris co-chair: she’s ‘going to keep a lot of the same policies’ from Biden

By Ian Hanchett | Breitbart On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Harris-Walz Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) responded to a question on if people should know more details about the economic agenda of 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris by stating that she has given “a broad vision” on her priorities and some policies, and is “going to keep a lot of the same policies and agendas” from President Joe Biden. Co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin asked, “Do you think that the American public, voters, many of whom, by the way, have the opportunity to vote right now…deserve to know specific details about her economic plan? Should you know what your tax rate is going to be or at least what she believes your tax rate should be before you go to the polls? Should...

Harris calls for eliminating filibuster to pass ‘Roe’ abortion bill into federal law

By Jamie Joseph  | Fox News Vice President Kamala Harris said she backs eliminating the 60-vote filibuster requirement in order to reinstate Roe v. Wade, which would federalize abortion access nationwide, during a Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) interview Tuesday.  The filibuster is a Senate rule that allows a minority to block legislation pending a supermajority vote, so ending it would make it easier to pass laws related to abortion rights. "I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe," Harris said on the "Wisconsin Today" show. "And get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body and...

In 3rd District, Club 20 debate unveiled sharp contrast between candidates Hurd, Frisch

By Lindy J. Browning | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice While both candidates have successfully identified issues that are top of mind for voters in the U.S. House District 3 race -- primarily the economy, border, health care, public lands, agriculture and water issues -- a Club 20 debate last week on the Western Slope showcased a sharp contrast in both candidates' specific policy solutions and demeanor. In his opening statements, Adam Frisch, the Democratic nominee, told the audience: “I’m here tonight because rural Colorado has been left behind and ignored. Everyone feels forgotten, misunderstood and taken advantage of by Denver and D.C.” “We are tired of the 'Angertainment' that seeps into our lives. It’s destructive to our families and communities. I just don’t have any room ...
