Biden-Harris admin shipping migrants to Arizona and Texas to hide border problem before Election Day: ‘It’s about optics’

By Jennie Taer | New York Post With just two weeks until the presidential election, the Biden-Harris administration is working overtime to hide its illegal migrant problem from the public’s view, furious Border Patrol agents say. ICE has been ordered to speed up deportations. And Border Patrol agents are busing and flying migrants from San Diego — where arrivals are still double what they were when President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office, Homeland Security sources told The Post. They’re being sent to border towns in Texas and Arizona, which have far fewer migrants. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Daniel: My fellow hunters, anglers and 2A advocates, won’t you join me and vote?

By Bobbie Daniel | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Dear fellow Colorado hunter, angler and 2A advocate, I am reaching out with a simple but important message: vote. I know you are busy — between work, family and gearing up for the upcoming hunting season, life is full. Our family is right there with you, making sure our rifles are sighted in, tags are purchased, gear is ready, and we have scouted our hunting areas. But, with so much at stake in this election, none of us can afford to be too busy to protect our Western heritage by casting our vote. If you are like us, you have probably spent more time planning a hunting trip or drawing a tag than it takes to register to vote and fill out a ballot. And yet, those few minutes of voting could have a far greater impact on our way o...

In anti-Trump rant, Biden blurts out: ‘We gotta lock him up’

By Hailey Gomez | Daily Caller President Joe Biden said Tuesday at New Hampshire’s Democratic National Committee (DNC) office that the party needs to “lock up” former President Donald Trump, quickly adding he meant to “politically” lock him up. Since 2019, Democrats have been calling for Trump to be behind bars, flipping the script on their previous criticism of Republicans and the former president for calling for former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to be locked up. While speaking to the DNC office in Concord, New Hampshire, Biden noted how close the race is becoming, claiming Trump believes he has immunity from “physically eliminating” threats. “All of it’s on a knife’s edge. It’s on a knife’s edge right now. So this is really, really, really, reall...

Harris rejects religious exemptions for abortion

 By David Zimmermann  | National Review Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday night she would reject religious exemptions for abortion as president, effectively forcing health-care providers to perform the medical procedure in violation of their moral conscience. The Democratic presidential nominee has been adamant about passing a bill that would codify Roe v. Wade into law, despite the Supreme Court overturning that decision in 2022. In an interview with NBC News anchor Hallie Jackson, Harris indicated she would refuse to compromise with Republican lawmakers on the abortion legislation. “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body,” Harris said when asked if sh...

Democrats fear race may be slipping away from Harris

By Amie Parnes  | The Hill There is growing fear in Democratic circles that the presidential race could be slipping further away from Vice President Harris. To be sure, Democrats still think Harris can defeat former President Trump. The margins are so close in the seven battleground states likely to decide the contest, a shift toward either candidate or a mistake in the polling could be decisive.  At the same time, Democrats are privately expressing worry that battleground polling appears to be moving in Trump’s direction over the last two weeks.

Mark Halperin says ‘Trump’s going to be president on Election Day’ if early vote holds up

By Jason Cohen  | Daily Caller Journalist Mark Halperin said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump will secure victory on Nov. 5 if early voting trends hold. While Democrats maintain a significant lead in early voter turnout, Republicans have cut the gap compared to 2020, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Halperin, on his 2WAY platform, said all the analysts he has spoken to since Monday believe Trump will win if this trend continues, as Democrats will be unable to combat Republicans’ early vote gains on Election Day. Gabbard recently joined the Trump campaign as an honorary co-chair for the former president's transition team alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr., another former Democrat.

Lawsuit dismissed to remove road tax extension from Colorado Springs ballot

By Breeanna Jent | The Gazette An El Paso County District Court judge this month dismissed a lawsuit that sought to remove the so-called 2C road tax question from Colorado Springs' November ballot. Douglas Bruce, the author of Colorado's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights amendment, filed a three-page civil lawsuit against the city of Colorado Springs in late September, alleging the city violated TABOR requirements a dozen times in its approved ballot language for  ballot issue 2C that asks to extend a dedicated sales tax for local road maintenance. On Nov. 5, voters will ultimately decide whether to extend the current 0.57% temporary sales and use tax for the next 10 years, from 2026 through the end of 2035. The 2C tax equates to 5.7 cents on every $10 purchase. The current tax is schedul...

Spakovsky: No, Elon Musk is not breaking federal election law

By  Hans von Spakovsky , Commentary | Daily Signal Despite what you may hear from leftist so-called election law “experts,” Elon Musk is not violating federal law with his America PAC’s million-dollar lottery for registered voters who sign his “Petition in Favor of Free Speech and the Rights to Bear Arms.” Those who mistakenly claim otherwise are ignoring the terms of the petition and the text of the applicable federal statute in order to take a swipe at Musk. Musk’s very vocal support for the First Amendment, which he says is under “relentless” attack, is nothing new. He announced in April that he would fund a national signature campaign in support of free speech, and he’s frequently said defending free speech is one of the main ...

When casting your vote, are ballot ‘selfies’ illegal in Colorado? Should you do it?

By Safia Samee Ali | Fox 31 News, via NewsNation Some enthusiastic voters may have to resist the urge to post a photo of their marked ballot this election season, as many states ban sharing ballot selfies. Sharing selfies of completed ballots has become a way some voters show who they supported, but concerns over coercion and even bribery have led at least 14 states to make it illegal.  Voting in secret has long been a staple in American history, but the explosion of social media and ballot selfies has caused the secrecy issue to resurface, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX 31 NEWS
