Biden to DNC: Trump supporters ‘can’t think, can’t read very well’ in flashback to ‘Deplorables’

By Paul Bois | Breitbart President Joe Biden embraced divisive rhetoric during his speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday night when he said Trump supporters “can’t think, can’t read very well.” The president issued his insult, which echoes Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” line from 2016, when speaking about education. “How can we be the greatest nation in the world without the best education system in the world,” he said. “Donald Trump and Republican friends, they not only can’t think, they can’t read very well.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Cuccinelli: Maine shows just what’s wrong with ranked-choice voting

By Ken Cuccinelli  | Commentary, Townhall.com Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has qualified for the Maine Presidential ballot in November and in doing so shows just how fraudulent claims in favor of Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) really are. Supporters of RCV falsely promise it will reduce toxic partisanship, increase compromise, and eliminate extremism from our elections, but in reality the costly, confusing, and complex voting practice has been an unmitigated disaster wherever implemented.  RCV requires a voter to rank each candidate on the basis of ‘least bad’ by assigning a numerical designation to the candidate the voter favors most to the candidate the voter favors least. If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of first-choice votes in the first round of voting, the l...

Evans accepts four debates in 8th District U.S. House race, asks Caraveo to do the same

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Gabe Evans has accepted four debate invitations in Colorado's 8th District race for the U.S. House. The Republican has agreed to appear in debates presented by CBS, 9News, Fox31, and Colorado Politics. “Two years ago, [8th District] voters only got to observe one, 30-minute debate in the race for Congress. Voters deserve better,” Evans said in a statement. “There are tremendous differences between [Democrat] Yadira Caraveo and me on crime, the border, jobs and the cost of living. As candidates for Congress, we owe it to the voters to articulate and explain our positions on these and other important issues." Evans served 12 years in the U.S. Army and Colorado Army National Guard as a Black Hawk helicopter pilot and company commander. He dep...

Kamala Harris’ economic plan: $1.7T in handouts, fed ban on grocery store ‘price gouging’

By Diana Glebova, Josh Christenson and Victoria Churchill | The New York Post Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday unveiled the economic policies she would enact in her first 100 days in office — and it comes with a whopping estimated $1.7 trillion in handouts, as well as government price controls on groceries amid ravaging Biden-Harris administration inflation. Her economic plan includes measures to dole out $25,000 to help first-time homeowners with their down payments and give up to a $6,000 tax breaks for lower and middle-income families who have a child in their first year of life. Harris did not say what incomes qualify as “lower” and “middle.” The housing subsidies alone are “absolutely inflationary” and would “push a $2 trillion dollar deficit even higher,” Bri...

Boebert to debate Calvarese on business issues Sept. 3 in Douglas County

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and her Democratic challenger Trisha Calvarese are set to face off in a debate on business and economic issues on Sept. 3 in Roxborough Park. The lunchtime debate is so far the only meet-up scheduled between the two major party candidates running in Colorado's 4th Congressional District, which covers Douglas County, parts of Larimer and Weld Counties, and the Eastern Plains. Boebert and Calvarese both emerged from crowded primaries for the seat formerly represented by Republican U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, who resigned in March. Republican Greg Lopez defeated Calvarese in a June special election to serve out the remainder of Buck's term. READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS

In Avon, voters are likely to see use tax ballot item similar to defeated measure in 2023

By Zoe Goldstein  | Vail Daily After Avon voters rejected a 4% use tax on construction materials last fall, the town will likely bring a revised question to voters this November. Sixty percent of the 1,115 Avon residents — among 2,981 registered voters — who voted in 2023 rejected the use tax ballot question. Avon voters also rejected a construction materials use tax in 2002. There are a handful of key differences between this year’s version of the ballot question and the one voters saw in 2023. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE VAIL DAILY

Sen. Tim Scott: ‘The American people are smarter than Kamala Harris when it comes to the economy’

By Julia Johnson  | Fox Business Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., shredded Vice President Kamala Harris' economic proposal on Friday, which laid out a sweeping overhaul including broad cross-industry price-fixing and $25,000 government-subsidized down payments for first-time home buyers.  "The American people are smarter than Kamala Harris when it comes to the economy," the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Ranking Member told Fox News Digital in an interview.  "The ‘price-gouging’ that they've experienced has come at the hands of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden," Scott said. "When you artificially stimulate the economy by the federal government and the Democrats spending trillions of dollars, the net effect is high inflation, high interest, high demand and lower sup...

Denver schools voters will be asked to decide whether to approve nearly $1 billion bond

By Lanie Lee Cook | Fox 31 News The Denver Public Schools board voted unanimously on Thursday to send a $975 million bond measure before voters this fall. The Board of Education’s 7-0 vote will ask Denver voters in November for the bond to make improvements at aging schools districtwide, including installing air conditioning at schools still without it. If approved by voters, nearly a third of the $975 million will go toward maintenance at 154 schools across the district, FOX31 has previously reported. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX 31 NEWS

Fake news: Kamala Harris’ campaign writes their own headlines on Google search ‘news’ ads, report says

By Katherine Donlevy | New York Post Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign team has been quietly editing news headlines in Google search ads to make it seem like major news outlets are on her side, according to a report. The altered headlines — appearing on Google ads and paired with a “Paid for by Harris for President” banner — were changed without the news outlets’ knowledge, Axios reported Tuesday. Nearly a dozen publishers were swept up in the faux headline campaign, including major companies like the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News, the Associated Press and PBS.

Trump: Harris picked Eric Holder-vetted Walz despite ‘stolen valor’ because Dems ‘don’t care about the military’

By Matthew Boyle | Breitbart  Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that Vice President Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate despite his history of stealing valor because Democrats do not care about veterans and the military. “I think for the Democrats they did because I don’t think they care,” Trump said in an interview at Mar-a-Lago last week. “I don’t think they care about his military service because they don’t care about the military. I think they did for themselves, but I don’t think they did for the country.” Walz’s history of stealing valor — he claimed he was “in war” when he certainly was not — has become a major liability for Democrats and for Harris. Several establishment media outlets like ABC News, CNN, and mor...
