Gallup poll finds majority of Americans feel worse off now than four years ago under Trump

By Wendell Husebø | Breitbart A majority of Americans (52 percent) feel worse off today than four years ago under former President Donald Trump, Gallup polling found Friday. Four years ago the nation was in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which greatly impacted the economy and the lives of millions of Americans. Despite the crises, Americans believe they were better off. Costs increased by about 20 percent across the board after the Biden-Harris administration assumed office and instituted “Bidenomics.” Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas and Iran attacked Israel, illegal migrants invaded the southern border, and the nation suffered the deadly Afghan withdrawal. Gallup reported its findings, predominantly shaped by soaring costs: READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBAR...

‘Foreign interference’: UK Socialist Party reportedly planned to send activists to campaign for Harris

By Jake Smith | Daily Caller A foreign socialist political party was reportedly planning to send scores of operatives to the U.S. to seemingly campaign on behalf of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, according to multiple reports. The United Kingdom’s (U.K.) Labour Party, currently in control of the country’s government and headed by self-admitted socialist Kier Starmer, has already had some interactions with the Harris campaign ahead of the November U.S. elections. Labour Party Head of Operations Sofia Patel announced on Wednesday that roughly 100 current and former party staff planned to fly to the U.S. in the coming weeks to campaign for Harris, according to multiple posts on Patel’s LinkedIn profile that have now been deleted. The Daily Caller News Foundation revie...

Democrats concerned Harris has ‘until the end of this week’ to reach undecided voters

By Naomi Lim | Washington Examiner Democrats are worried the window for Vice President Kamala Harris to persuade undecided voters is closing despite her campaign’s more aggressive strategy. Harris is encountering difficulties connecting with members of the traditional Democratic base, including black and Latino men, and those undecided voters could decide the election. With less than three weeks until Nov. 5, Democrats, including South Carolina state Sen. Dick Harpootlian, concede the “persuasion piece” of the 2024 election “is over,” or it will be “by the end of this week.” “People will have made up their minds,” Harpootlian told the Washington Examiner. “I don’t think anybody’s going to walk into that voting booth or two days ...

In Larimer County, sheriff and DA at odds over claims DA doesn’t properly prosecute child predators

By Dillon Thomas | CBS Colorado Two of Larimer County's top law enforcement officials are at odds over how the Colorado county's district attorney's office is prosecuting suspects of some crimes. Larimer County Sheriff John Feyen, a Republican, has publicly criticized District Attorney Gordon McLaughlin, a Democrat, of letting at least one sex offender suspect off easy from prosecution. McLaughlin denies the accusations, claiming they are politically fueled. In recent weeks the Larimer County Sheriff's Office has released some press releases calling out McLaughlin's office for allegedly letting criminals off easy compared to the charges they initially faced. One of the main cases highlighted by LCSO involved a man who was arrested for trying to pay $450 to have sexual relations wi...

Election volunteer, age 74, hospitalized following assault, others report sign theft, vandalism

By Jen Schumann | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice The political battleground in Colorado isn't simply limited to choices on the ballot. Volunteers are finding the streets to be more than just a figurative battleground, as despite their efforts to promote a better tomorrow they are literally under attack today. As Colorado’s election season heats up, a disturbing trend is emerging — campaign materials being stolen or vandalized and, worse, violence targeting campaign volunteers. In a region spanning Colorado Senate District 12, House Districts 16 and 17 and other areas, the tension surrounding local Republican campaigns is manifesting in dangerous ways. One of the most alarming events took place in House District 17, where Gordon Bertoglio, a 74-year-old precinct leader, wa...

Wildlife commissioners divided on Prop. 127, banning mountain lion, lynx and bobcat hunting

By Marissa Ventrelli | Colorado Politics A ballot measure that seeks to prohibit the hunting of mountain lions, bobcats, and lynx has created a divide among current and former members of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife commission, with animal rights activists arguing that hunting big cats is cruel and unnecessary, and sportsmen asserting that wildlife management should be left to the experts. A number of opinion pieces penned by current and former CPW commissioners have been circulating in newspapers around the state. This practice isn't illegal in itself, but the pieces must include a disclosure stating that the commissioners are expressing their personal views and not those of the state wildlife agency, as it is legally prohibited from taking an official stance on the mea...
