Trump promises ‘large deportations’ in Aurora during Friday press conference

By Jeff Anastasio | Denver7 Speaking at a Friday press conference in California, former president Donald Trump – for the second time this week – singled out Aurora promising to conduct “large deportations” of immigrants. Trump’s comments followed Tuesday’s debate, in which he cited Venezuelan gang activity in Aurora claiming “they are taking over the towns.” Aurora mayor Mike Coffman – a Republican – refuted those claims to Denver7 on Wednesday. "There's no question there have been some issues, but it's been so dramatically exaggerated that it’s the entire city being overrun by criminal or gang activity," Coffman told Denver7. "That couldn’t be further from the truth." READ THE FULL STORY AT DENVER7

Trump announces new plan to end overtime taxes

By Mabinty Quarshie | Washington Examiner Former President Donald Trump announced a new economic proposal banning any taxes on overtime pay for people who work more than 40 hours per week during a Tuscon, Arizona, rally Thursday evening. “I’m also announcing that as part of our additional tax cuts, we will end all taxes on overtime,” he said in his appearance in the battleground state. “That gives people more of an incentive to work.” “The people who work overtime are among the hardest working citizens in our country, and for too long, no one in Washington has been looking out for them,” Trump continued. “It’s time for the working man and woman to finally catch a break, and that’s what we’re doing because this is a good one. And I think it’s going to ...

ABC Debate ‘moderators’ shamelessly shielded Harris from her record

By Ben Shaprio | Daily Signal In the lead-up to this week’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the polls showed a dead heat, both nationally and in seven swing states. The 2024 race is, by all measures, the closest presidential race we have seen in our lifetimes. But the usual presidential math applies: The person upon whom the race becomes a referendum loses.  For Trump, then, the task of the debate was threefold: to hammer the point that Vice President Kamala Harris is responsible for the failed policies of the Biden-Harris White House, and that he is the agent of change—a proposition with which the majority of Americans tend to agree; to drive home that Harris is actually dangerously far left, and that she is lying about her current po...

Biden dons ‘Trump 2024’ hat during 9/11 Pennsylvania visit

By Emily Hallas | Washington Examiner Some Pennsylvania firefighters’ days took an unexpected turn as they watched President Joe Biden don a ‘Trump 2024″ hat. After laying a wreath at the 9/11 Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville on Wednesday, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris visited the local fire department. As first responders looked on, Biden grabbed a Trump 2024 hat as he grinned widely.  A White House spokesman explained the president’s surprising act as a “bipartisan” gesture meant to show the country’s “unity” after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City 23 years ago.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Aurora mayor responds to Trump’s debate reference: “TdA has not ‘taken over’ the city”

By Lanie Lee Cook | Fox 31 News The candidates had not finished responding to the first question of Tuesday night’s debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump before Colorado was brought into the fold. Harris and Trump were asked whether they thought the economy was in a better position than four years ago. Each candidate touted their policy goals in their response, while Trump also used his time to repeat the anti-immigration rhetoric that has often been the centerpiece of his political messaging. Trump claimed that migrants “pouring” into the country were taking jobs and then mentioned Aurora, where reported gang crime in neglected apartment buildings has made national headlines and where officials have noted a presence of the Venezuelan Tren d...

Brelje: ABC should be prosecuted for illegal contributions to Harris in ‘debate’

By Beth Brelje | The Federalist Former President Donald Trump showed up for a traditional political debate Tuesday night, but he instead found himself in the middle of a 90-minute ambush to boost Kamala Harris. Working as a team, ABC hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis propped up Harris and repeatedly tried to vanquish Trump by talking over him, cutting him off, and asking bizarre questions they did not ask Harris. At one point, Davis jumped in for Harris and offered a rebuttal to one of Trump’s comments on abortion, a move beyond the scope of a moderator. They allowed Harris more time to respond and followed her when she veered off topic, but gave Trump no such breaks. It was not a debate, but a campaign contribution. That’s not a big surprise from either moderator, as Muir hosts t...

Griswald: Debate moderators bringing up J6 but not Trump assassination attempt tells you everything about media corruption

By Kylee Griswald | The Federalist Nobody was surprised Tuesday night when the first — and likely only — 2024 presidential debate featured Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris, David Muir, and Linsey Davis. Yet the level of corruption never ceases to amaze, this time in the form of Kamala’s ABC cronies neglecting to bring up the recent attempted murder of their political foe that occurred not two months ago. You’d never know that the former and likely future president was shot in the head 59 days ago. And that it was at the hands of a crazed gunman who was allowed to scale the roof of a building near where President Trump was speaking even after bystanders saw him. And that the building was suspiciously left out of the security perimeter even though it was identified as a potential threat....

Tulsi Gabbard, who prepped Trump for debate, ‘dissected’ Harris in 2019 Dem primary debate

By Hanna Panreck | Fox News Tulsi Gabbard revealed on Monday how she went about calling out Vice President Kamala Harris on the debate stage during the Democratic primaries in 2019 during an appearance on "Jesse Watters Primetime."  "She was treated with kid gloves by the mainstream propaganda media. She was treated with kid gloves, even by every other candidate that was on that debate stage. No one questioned her, challenged her, or called her out for the record as prosecutor that she claimed to be proud of," Gabbard said.  The former congresswoman called out Harris in a 2019 primary debate where she hammered the then-Democratic senator for jailing hundreds of Californians for marijuana violations while she was attorney general, yet bragged about her own use of the drug...

The Harris honeymoon is over: new poll delivers warning signals to the Vice President

By Drake Hunter | The Hill A string of recent polls is delivering warning signs for Vice President Harris ahead of Tuesday evening’s critical presidential debate.  A New York Times/Siena College poll released Sunday showed former President Trump holding a 1-point lead nationally, suggesting the Harris honeymoon as the Democratic nominee could be coming to a close. It showed tight races in the seven battleground states, signaling the race for the White House could go in either direction. It also showed that while 90 percent of voters said they knew everything they need to know about Trump, a smaller 71 percent said they know everything they need to know about Harris.
