Morgan: Trump’s so right to say he’d ban trans athletes in women’s sports

By Piers Morgan, Commentary | New York Post Sometimes, Donald Trump hits the common-sense nail smack-bang on the head. After years of cowardly public officials pathetically tiptoeing around the increasingly farcical, and grotesquely unfair, issue of biologically male trans athletes competing in women’s sports, the former and quite possibly next president of the US spat out a potentially very consequential truth bomb. “You just ban it,” he said during a Fox News town hall on Wednesday, to huge cheers from the audience. “The president bans it. You just don’t let it happen.” READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE NEW YORK POST Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in commentary pieces are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the management ...

Election win odds sour further on Harris after Fox interview

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner Vice President Kamala Harris did not win over election gamblers, who drove her chances of victory down further. Among two of the largest election gambling aggregate sites, former President Donald Trump now holds his biggest advantage in weeks. Mark Mitchell, the head pollster at Rasmussen Reports, made a comment on X that echoed many suggesting that Harris did little to expand her base. “Did Harris realize she was supposed to be picking up new voters? Because that’s not what she did,” he wrote. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Millions being spent on state legislative races in final weeks before Election Day

By Marianne Goodland | Colorado Politics Outside groups hoping to influence voters about candidates running for seats in the state House and Senate are draining their bank accounts in the final weeks before the Nov. 5 election. That's about $3.5 million between Sept. 28 and Oct. 8, the most recent reporting period. Total spending is now well above $5.3 million, showing that most of those dollars are going to the state's hottest races. The expenditures range from as little as $1.09 for a Google ad to six-figure checks written to support Republican Western Slope candidates running for the state Senate.

If you live in Denver, Larimer counties, you can expect marathon ballots to vote

By Sherrie Peif | Complete Colorado Depending on where you live in Colorado, the 2024 election ballot may seem like you just sat down to start a new novel, with a storyline that hikes taxes and debt,  makes changes to city and county charters, bans “trophy” hunting of mountain lions when it’s already illegal, and allows government employees to collectively bargain, among myriad other things. Indeed, if 14 statewide ballot measures and a near like amount of judicial retention questions aren’t enough, many cities, towns, counties, school districts and other special taxing districts have piled on their own measures, making some ballots — such as Denver’s — as much as six pages long. Complete Colorado looked at a few of the local ballots around the state, incl...

Trump vows to ‘end all sanctuary cities’ at ‘Faulkner Focus’ town hall with female voters

By Bailee Hill | Fox News Former President Donald Trump vowed to end sanctuary cities and restore "normalcy" as he took questions from female voters concerned about a variety of issues ahead of Election Day, including the economy, crime and abortion.  One woman, whose son attends the University of Georgia, pressed him on the issue of crime and public safety following the murder of nursing student Laken Riley earlier this year during the exclusive town hall Wednesday on "The Faulkner Focus." "My son is a Georgia Bulldog. He was on campus the day Laken Riley was murdered," the attendee told the former president. "Terrifying for all those kids, right? I wanted to know… how quickly in a sanctuary city –  like they're calling Athens, Georgia – how quickly can you remove those thr...

Taxpayer dollars used to buy campaign signs for Englewood bond measure

By Marissa Ventrelli | Colorado Politics The City of Englewood is facing criticism over a possible campaign law violation after using taxpayer dollars to purchase lawn signs advocating for the passage of one of its ballot measures.   According to Colorado Community Media, the signs, encouraging voters to approve an over $40 million bond measure for the city's parks, were purchased on July 1, before the city council officially voted to put the question on the ballot for residents.  About $2,000 in taxpayer funds was used to purchase 250 lawn signs, which read, "Yes to Parks & Recreation - Support Englewood's Parks & Recreation Bond." The signs do not disclose their funding source, another potential violation under Colorado's Fair Campaign Practices Act (FCPA)...

Prop. 127’s ‘unintended consequences’ could be devastating, leaders in Northwest Colorado say

By Lindy Browning | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice Members of the Associated Governments of Northwestern Colorado (AGNC) were joined recently in a discussion of Proposition 127 by Gaspar Perricone, of the Wildlife Conservation Project and formerly a political advisor, legislative director to the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and regional director for Sen. Mark Udall. If supported by voters, Prop. 127 on the Nov. 5 statewide ballot would ban hunting of mountain lions, bobcats and federally-protected lynx. The measure is the result of an animal rights activist group, Cats aren’t Trophies (CATs), a 501(c) (3) organization who gathered enough signatures to place the issue on the ballot. This is the same process that led to the reintroduction of wolves in Colorado, often ter...

Amendment 18 to credit for federal candidates appearing on ballot with a term-limits disclaimer

By Jesse Paul | The Colorado Sun Coloradans receiving their 2024 ballots may notice that the names of some congressional candidates have a disclaimer below them that others do not. For instance, beneath the name of Frank Atwood, an Approval Voting Party candidate running to represent the 4th Congressional District, is a notice that he has signed a declaration to limit his service to no more than three terms should he be elected. James Wiley, a Libertarian candidate running in the 3rd Congressional District, has the same notice below his name. Ditto for Unity Party candidate Critter Milton on the ballot in the 1st Congressional District. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SUN
