House votes to increase Secret Service protections for Presidential contenders Trump, Harris

By Tracy Ross | Washington Examiner The House voted unanimously to increase Secret Service protections for presidential candidates, giving them the same level of security as sitting presidents while traveling on the campaign trail.  Lawmakers passed a resolution in a 405-0 vote on Friday that would enhance protections for former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris with rare, widespread bipartisan support. The legislation comes in response to the two assassination attempts against Trump during this cycle, which prompted condemnations from both sides of the aisle to crack down on political violence.  “This is not a partisan issue,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said this week. “We have a nominee for president that’s probably the most threatened...

Presidential debate, Taylor Swift, Meta credited for surge in Colorado voter registrations

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice A three-day period in September has led to a surge in voter registration, the office of Secretary of State Jena Griswold reports, and performer Taylor Swift may get to take some credit. More than 21,000 either registered to vote in the state or updated their registration during the period, which began Sept. 10 with Swift's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in advance of a televised debate that night between Harris and former President Donald Trump. It represents a 0.5% increase in voter registrations. “Registering to vote is the first step to making your voice heard in our democracy,” Griswold said. “It is exciting to see Coloradans registering to vote and getting involved in advance of this November’s election. Every voter has a vo...

Tim Walz stumped by question on inflation; repeats lie about Trump ‘sales tax’

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, was stumped Tuesday when asked by a reporter to explain what he and Vice President Kamala Harris would do for families struggling financially. In an interview with local Macon, Georgia, CBS affiliate WMAZ, Walz first said that he and Harris understood the problem because they are “middle class.” He then offered a series of her proposals unrelated to inflation: I tell them Kamala Harris and I know something about it being middle-class folks. Our family sit at the table trying to pay the bill. We know coming out of the COVID pandemic with prices where they were, that people need to see some relief. And I think that’s why Kamala Harris has put out a plan — especially around home ow...

MacKinnon: Pause to appreciate the immense courage Trump is displaying daily on the campaign trail

By Douglas MacKinnon | Commentary, TownHall.com After the latest scare on Sunday, where the Secret Service opened fire on a man with an AK-47 outside of Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach while former President Donald J. Trump was on the course, I believe we all need pause to appreciate the immense courage Trump displays daily on the campaign trail. This is what President Trump put out immediately after the incident: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!  Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me.” Legend.  That is the only word that comes to mind. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT TOWNHALL.COM

‘Largest deportation’ in history to begin in Aurora, Springfield (Ohio), Trump says

By Luige Del Puerto and Nico Brambila | Colorado Politics Republican candidate Donald Trump on Friday promised to execute the "largest deportation" in American history, which he said will begin in Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio — two cities in the middle of a political firestorm following reports of a Venezuelan gang infiltrating apartment complexes in the former and claims of immigrants eating household pets in the latter.    "We're going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country, and we're going to start with Springfield and Aurora," Trump said at a press conference at his golf resort near Los Angeles. "We're bringing them back to Venezuela," the former president also said, asserting anew that a notorious gang from the troubled South Americ...

‘I’m glad President Trump was OK’: Colorado Republicans react to second assassination attempt

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice The second attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump in as many months on Sunday drew the ire and well-wishes by many on the political right in Colorado. "I’m glad President Trump was OK, and I’m thankful for the law enforcement that have detained the shooter," Gabe Evans, the Republican nominee for the 8th Congressional District, wrote on Twitter/X. Mr. Trump was five holes into a golf round at Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach, Fla., when the muzzle of a long gun was noticed through the shrubbery, about 400 yards away, according to media reports. Though initially described as an AK-47 rifle, court documents Fox News reviewed detail the long gun was an SKS-style long gun. On Fox News, Sen. Lindsey Graham received a call from Mr...
