Votes have been bought at taxpayer expense, and the White House is lying about it, congressmen say

By Alan Wooten | The Center Square Only 40% of student loan borrowers make payments, and congressional committee leaders from North Carolina and Louisiana said Wednesday the federal report confirms the White House’s efforts to win votes at taxpayers’ expense. U.S. Reps. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., and Sen. Dr. Bill Cassidy, R-La., requested the Government Accountability Office analysis because they believed the Biden administration “has repeatedly failed to communicate to borrowers on how to transition to repayment,” a release says. Payments resumed in October 2023 after a 3½-year pause due to COVID-19. The congressional leaders – Foxx as chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and Cassidy as ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor an...

Bidenomics or Kamalanomics? Either way it’s the worst inflation record since Reagan sacked Carter

By Amy Furr | Breitbart Consumer prices have soared 20.2 percent since Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden took office 42 months ago, according to the Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index (CPI). Americans continue to feel the strain of runaway inflation. That is the worst inflation record for any president since Jimmy Carter. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have spent the last three and a half years promoting the same ideas and touting the same economic programs. That’s now seen as a burden for Harris as she tries to distance herself from Biden’s unpopular programs and economy. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

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...

Vance agrees to Oct. 1 debate of VP candidates with Walz on CBS

By Jared Mitovich | Politico Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance agreed to debate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Oct. 1 on CBS, locking in a match-up between the Republican and Democratic nominees for vice president. On Wednesday, Walz had publicly agreed to the October debate in CBS’s New York City studios. “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan will moderate the forum. Vance added that he had agreed to debate Walz on CNN on Sept. 18, writing, “The American people deserve as many debates as possible, which is why President Trump has challenged Kamala to three of them already.” Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump last week committed to a Sept. 10 debate hosted by ABC, but Trump has continued to challenge Harris to join him for...

‘Reject any funding for President Trump’s border wall’: In 2018, Harris led Dems in call to reject Border Patrol, ICE funding

By Julia Johnson | Fox News Vice President Kamala Harris previously led a group of Democratic senators in calling for a reduction in funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and to reject appropriations entirely for additional Border Patrol agents and border wall construction. In 2018, then-Sen. Harris and her fellow Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee led several other Democrats in a letter to Senate appropriators. "We urge the Committee additionally to reject President Trump’s proposal for funding to hire new Border Patrol personnel at this time," they wrote. Another signatory of the document pushing back on President Trump's administration and its request for funding in fiscal year 2019 was vulnerable Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin of...

Where are prices still rising the fastest? At the kitchen table, for starters.

By Megan Henney | Fox Business Inflation eased again in July, even as an uptick in the cost of rent, groceries and auto insurance kept prices uncomfortably high for millions of Americans. Inflation eased again in July, even as an uptick in the cost of rent, groceries and auto insurance kept prices uncomfortably high for millions of Americans. The Labor Department on Wednesday said that the consumer price index (CPI), a broad measure of how much everyday goods like gasoline, groceries and rent cost, rose 0.2% in July from the previous month, in line with expectations. Prices climbed 2.9% from the same time last year. It marked the lowest level of inflation since March 2021. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Marcus: Donald Trump was almost assassinated one month ago. Our media has moved on. Voters have not.

By David Marcus  | Commentary, Fox News It was one month ago, in the tiny town of Butler, Pa., that a would-be assassin's bullet came less than an inch away from changing not just the 2024 presidential election, but the course of American history. The shocking shooting that left husband and father Corey Comperatore dead, and two more wounded remains a sharp and piercing image in the minds of many voters. It feels as though decades of politics have taken place in these past 30 days, we have emerged in a very different situation, and if prelude is precursor the next 84 days shall not want for more surprises.

‘Putting down a rabid dog’: Stefanik demands N.Y. official resign over Trump shooting remark

By Elizabeth Elkind  | Fox News House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., is demanding that a local elected official in her district resign after reportedly comparing former President Trump to a "rabid dog" after he was shot. Christine Paige, a member of the Potsdam Town Council, has faced bipartisan backlash over her comments, which were first reported last month by local media. "Far Left Democrats supporting political violence and the assassination of President Trump are shameful and do not deserve to represent the great people of the North Country," Stefanik told Fox News Digital.

As debt tops $35 trillion and deficit reaches $1.5 trillion, critics ask where’s the debt plan?

By Casey Harper | The Center Square The federal deficit so far this fiscal year has already hit $1.5 trillion, the U.S. Treasury Department reported in its monthly fiscal update. The federal data comes just days after the national debt surpassed $35 trillion, an unprecedented figure that worries economists and budget analysts. For now, though, neither Republicans nor Democrats have prioritized getting the deficit under control or showed unity in putting a plan forward to do so. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE CENTER SQUARE
