Four takeaways from the ‘Big Boy’ presser Biden used to try and save his candidacy

By Jack Birle | Washington Examiner President Joe Biden‘s press conference was intended to help end the growing list of doubts within the Democratic Party about his candidacy, but the event has not stopped the questions about whether he can continue as the nominee. Scheduled two weeks after his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump, Biden’s appearance at the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., offered mixed results as he was able to survive the rare solo news conference. Throughout his press conference, Biden was asked directly by journalists about mounting pressure for him to drop out of the presidential race — from those worried about his ability to win to those concerned about downballot effects. He defiantly proclaimed that he believes...

TSA take your shampoo? In New York a ban means travel shampoo might not be in your hotel room either

By Ashley DiMella  | Fox Business New York state will be mandating hotels to forgo small bottles containing "hospitality care" products such as shampoo and lotions. The enforcement comes as a bill was passed in the New York Assembly in hopes of reducing waste. Beginning Jan. 1, 2025, hotels with more than 50 rooms will not be able to provide toiletry bottles under 12 ounces, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation's website. The act, which was first introduced in 2019, defines "hospitality personal care product" as a "product provided by a hotel and intended to be applied to or used on the human body or any part thereof for cleansing," the legislation states.

Boyd: Contrary to media claims, inflation index shows Americans still face sky-high prices

By Jordan Boyd | Commentary, The Federalist Contrary to the corporate media cabal’s desperate attempt to paint the Consumer Price Index report for June 2024 as a sign that inflation “cooled” and will continue “cooling” and “slowing” the closer the nation gets to November’s presidential election, Americans are still paying higher prices on basic day-to-day goods and services than they did in the last four years. When the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its latest inflation index showing a 0.1 percent decrease in prices from May 2024 to June 2024, press outlets and the Democrat regime rushed to bill the data as a sign that inflation is “at its lowest level in more than three years.” The New York Times’ Paul Krugman, whose partisa...

Harless: Democrats’ lies about Project 2025 is fearmongering campaign aimed at smearing Trump, helping Biden

By MONROE HARLESS | Commentary, The Federalist Democrat officials have launched a disinformation campaign about the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, misattributing policies nowhere to be found in the project and falsely linking them to former President Donald Trump. The project is a policy roadmap for a future Republican administration created by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and outlined in a nearly 1,000-page document highlighting long-held conservative priorities. The left’s fearmongering campaign comes amidst panic in the Democratic Party, which has fractured over Biden’s cognitive decline and abysmal election polling. “[Project 2025] is a dangerous takeover by Trump and his allies to pass his extreme MAGA agenda,” Biden recently sa...

Jeffrey: Joe Biden Is The $7 Trillion Dollar Man

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY | Commentary, The Daily Caller Since President Joe Biden was inaugurated, the federal debt has increased by more than $7 trillion. On Jan. 20, 2021, the day of Biden’s inauguration, it was $27,751,896,236,414.77, according to data published by the U.S. Treasury Department. As of this Fourth of July, it was $34,847,568,990,054.13. That is an increase of $7,095,672,753,639.36 — in less than four years.

House passes bill requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in U.S.

By ALEX MILLER | The Washington Times The House passed legislation Wednesday to make people provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote, a measure aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from voting. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility or the SAVE Act would amend the National Voter Registration Act to require people to register in person with documents that prove they are citizens such as a Real ID, passport or other identification that shows place of birth. The NVRA currently does not require proof of citizenship but asks registrants to attest that they are citizens or face penalties.  Rep. Chip Roy, the sponsor of the measure, said his bill was meant to ensure only American citizens vote in U.S. elections. He also accused President Biden and Democrats of pushi...

Political ads on social media rife with misinformation and scams, new research finds

By DAVID KLEPPER | The Associated Press (via Colorado Politics) The online advertisement to Donald Trump supporters was clear enough: Click here, and receive a free Trump 2024 flag and a commemorative coin. All in exchange for taking a quick survey and providing a credit card number for the $5 shipping and handling. “You’ll get two free gifts just by taking this quick poll in support of Trump,” says the ad's narrator. The ad — which has appeared on Facebook, YouTube and other platforms — didn't mention the $80 charge that would later appear on credit card statements. Those that clicked were scammed. Political advertisements on social media are one of the best ways for candidates to reach supporters and raise campaign cash. READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS...

Ashbaugh: How a Latino Democrat and a Black Republican opened a white, middle-aged woman’s eyes 

By Erin Ashbaugh | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice  “I’m a Republican.” he said.  “Ohhhh, I never pegged you to be that. I don’t think we can be friends anymore,” I laughed, only half-kidding. I was what one would consider a “Far Left” Democrat living in Boulder, CO when I said this, and Republicans were “the enemy.” The Republican friend of mine who I so quickly judged, as we reconnected after years of not seeing each other, was Lavelle Lewis, a football and basketball player who I’d cheered for during our years at IHS in Rochester, NY. After a couple of cups of coffee, I realized that as liberal as I was, Lavelle and I weren’t so different. Believe it or not, our values, morals, and political perspectives were rooted in similar ideals, just with different app...

House passes fridge, dishwasher bills to hatchet Biden’s regulation regime

By Alex Miller  | The Washington Times The House passed a pair of bills that would block stricter energy standards for dishwashers and refrigerators as part of the GOP’s battle against President Biden’s push for more regulations of home appliances. The Refrigerator Freedom Act and Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards Act would prevent the Department of Energy from finalizing or enforcing efficiency standards on dishwashers and fridges that “are not cost-effective or technologically feasible.” The measures would also prevent the Energy Department from applying regulations unless they result in “significant conservation of energy,” and if the agency finds that the standards will not increase costs on consumers. All Republicans and a handful of Democrats passed both the dishwash...
