Foley: The Second Gentleman is no gentleman, contrary to narrative

By Emma Foley | Commentary, The Conservateur In the home stretch of the 2024 race, Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, has been accused of abusing a former lover. His alleged problematic past undermines the media narrative that Emhoff is the torchbearer of a reformed masculinity. It also exposes Harris’s fraudulence as a supposed champion of women.  Emhoff’s biggest flaw is that he shamelessly adores his wife, if you ask those who get their news from Saturday Night Live. Actors Andy Samberg and Maya Rudolph did a skit portraying the two in puppy love. The media consensus? Doug’s a “wife guy.” He can’t help being his goofy-Gen X-husband-self. Goals! The feminists go further, saying Emhoff is a “progressive sex symbol.” Emhoff served as a st...

Ochsner: No on Arapahoe County 1A; keep taxpayer protections in place

By Brian Ochsner | Commentary, Complete Colorado As an Arapahoe County resident, I’ll  be voting no on Ballot Issue 1A, a measure to permanently remove taxpayer protections in place under Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR. Let me explain. TABOR is a constitutional amendment that, among other things, limits the growth of local government spending to a reasonable annual rate based on inflation and local economic growth. Overcollected revenue must be returned to taxpayers unless voters give permission to exceed those limits. Issue 1A would allow the county government to keep and spend revenue that would otherwise be refunded in perpetuity.  County officials wont say it, but that amounts to a tax hike. It’s how big government advocates try to spin the abili...

DeSantis rips Harris again for butting into Milton response: ‘No role in this process’

By Ryan King | New York Post Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis briefed President Biden on the fallout from Hurricane Milton Thursday morning while hammering Vice President Kamala Harris once again over her swipe at him for not taking her call earlier this week. The Sunshine State governor chided that Harris “doesn’t understand what it means to respond to these natural disasters,” and again accused her of politicizing the crisis. “She has no role in this process. And I’ve been dealing with these storms in Florida under both [former President Donald] Trump and [President] Biden. Neither of them ever politicized it,” DeSantis told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” hours after Milton made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST...

As inflation rears its ugly head again, election-meddling media go to bat for Biden-Harris

Harris is proud of her economic track record, even though it has forced the price hikes Americans strongly oppose By Jordan Boyd | The Federalist Less than one month before Election Day, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ published data confirms that the consequences of Democrats’ disastrous economic policies have continued to plague Americans. Democrats and their corporate media and economic “expert” allies preemptively claimed inflation would “return to normal” just in time for the 2024 face-off. Shortly after the July 2024 consumer price index was released, former Deputy Director of the National Economic Council Bharat Ramamurti even went so far as to declare that “We’ve won the battle against inflation.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE F...

Colorado districts hope voters support tax measures for new school buildings, scholarships, and more

By Yesenia Robles | Chalkbeat Colorado More than 30 of Colorado’s 178 school districts are asking voters to approve a local tax measure in this November’s election. The number of requests on the ballot isn’t more than in some past years. But what has gone up is the amount of money districts are requesting — nearly $7 billion. There are two types of tax measures districts are putting to voters this year. Bond and capital measures would mostly go to pay for new school buildings, renovations, new air conditioning in some districts, and safety upgrades. Mill levy overrides would raise operating dollars that would mostly help increase staff pay and add more career education opportunities for students. READ THE FULL STORY AT CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Hurricane Helene survivors’ message to Biden, Harris from those hardest hit

By Tim Kennedy | Daily Signal Hurricane Helene’s wrath devastated the Asheville, North Carolina, region while wreaking havoc across the Southeastern United States two weeks ago. The Daily Signal traveled to Western North Carolina in the immediate aftermath of the storm. While the mainstream media’s coverage focuses exclusively on ravaged metropolitan areas, like the fabled River Arts District in Asheville, The Daily Signal traversed many of the rural communities in Henderson and Rutherford counties to tell the stories of those hardest hit by Helene.

Kamala Harris on what she would do different from Biden: ‘There is not a thing that comes to mind’

By Pam Key | Breitbart Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that she would do nothing differently than President Joe Biden. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “As Vice President you worked closely with President Biden for almost four years. He was here on our show and he said there wasn’t a single thing that he did that you could not do. What do you think would be the biggest specific difference between your presidency and a Biden presidency?” Harris said, “We’re two different people but we have a lot of shared life experiences, for example, the way we fell about our family and parents and so on, but we’re also different people. I will bring those sensibilities to how I lead.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART...

Denver’s 7A: What you need to know about RTD’s request to keep all its sales tax revenue

Denver’s 7A: What you need to know about RTD’s request to keep all its sales tax revenue

By Michael Booth | The Colorado Sun Metro Denver-area voters will decide Nov. 5 whether the Regional Transportation District can continue to keep all of its sales tax revenue in coming years, even when a strong economy pushes revenue up above caps set in the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.  The so-called “de-Brucing,” named after TABOR author Douglas Bruce, is a common request from local taxing agencies.  In RTD’s case, a “yes” vote on 7A would not raise the current dedicated RTD sales tax, but would allow RTD to keep projected revenue about $50 million to $60 million a year above the TABOR cap instead of refunding that amount to millions of taxpayers.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SUN

‘Zuckerbucks’ hit small towns as tech group finances more election offices

By Fred Lucas  | The Daily Signal The Center for Tech and Civic Life—which four years ago doled out controversial election grants that became known as “Zuckerbucks”—recently notified White Pine County, Nevada, of a $20,000 grant.  The county, in a major battleground state going into the Nov. 5 presidential election, has a population of about 9,000 and is part of what the Left-aligned center calls its Rural and Nonmetro Election Infrastructure Grant Program.  The notification to White Pine County came with a message from Tiana Epps-Johnson, CTCL’s executive director, and an agreement on how the $20,000 grant could be used.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL
