The most important stat in a fresh NYT poll showing Trump pulling back ahead nationally

By Guy Benson | Town Hall In case you missed Sarah's post yesterday, a fresh nationwide survey from the New York Times and Siena College shows Donald Trump edging back out into the lead against Kamala Harris -- in both the head-to-head and wider field numbers.  In the days immediately following Joe Biden being forced out of the race by his party, this pollster went into the field and found Trump ahead of Harris by one point among likely voters, 48 percent to 47 percent.  In the intervening month-and-a-half, Harris was lavished with extraordinarily positive 'news' coverage, gaining momentum, and taking the lead.  The press made her the new frontrunner.  Six weeks later,  the hype machine may be running out of steam.  The same pollster went back into the field, just after Labor Day, and p...

Harris finally adds policy page to campaign website, devotes several sections to Trump

By Danielle Wallace | Fox News Vice President Harris finally added policies to her campaign website for the first time since President Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her in the presidential race 50 days ago. The website breaks Harris and her vice-presidential running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’ policy proposals into four sections: "Build an Opportunity Economy and Lower Costs for Families," "Safeguard Our Fundamental Freedoms," "Ensure Safety and Justice For All," and "Keep America Safe, Secure, and Prosperous."  Before the new addition, Harris' campaign website had pages to buy merchandise, donate and get to know the candidate's background, but was devoid of any policy plans for weeks even after she formally accepted the nomination at the Democratic National...

Top DOJ spokesman calls Trump cases ‘perversion of justice’ on hidden camera

By Olivia Rondeau | Breitbart The chief spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Southern District of New York (SDNY) was caught tearing into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other prosecutors for carrying out a “perversion of justice” in targeting former President Donald Trump, hidden camera footage captured by an undercover journalist revealed. Nicholas Biase, the public affairs director for the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York (SDNY), spilled his feelings about the liberal DA when speaking to an unidentified operative with podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club” on multiple occasions.

Sheffield: Faux feminist Kamala Harris, an anti-woman, misogynist candidate

By Carrie Sheffield | Daily Signal Vice President Kamala Harris claims to be a champion for women, but many facts tell a different story. Harris speaks pro-women rhetoric, but fails to protect women and girls from assaults in locker rooms.  Harris endorsed a new Biden-Harris administration rule expanding Title IX protections to gender identity and sexual orientation, requiring schools receiving federal funds to allow males into female spaces such as restrooms and locker rooms, or into any activity currently separated as male or female.  READ MORE AT THE DAILY SIGNAL Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in commentary pieces are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the management of the Rocky Mountain Voice, but even...

Murray: The delusions of Kamala Harris

By Douglas Murray  | The Spectator There are a number of joys in life that do not get enough attention. One is the sheer, unadulterated pleasure that can be gained from watching a politician speak about something they know nothing about. This season Kamala Harris is giving especially abundant material for connoisseurs. Recognizing that there is plenty she doesn’t know about, her campaign team are hoping that she can glide into office without having to say anything about what she might do once there. On the rare occasions when she does sit down and get asked questions, she is a master in her peculiar field. For instance, if Harris is asked about how her administration would tackle inflation she will say something like: “We need to take a moment here to acknowledge what inflation ...

Trump predicts: Colorado will be ‘taken over by migrants’ if I lose

By Sandy Fitzgerald  | Newsmax Former President Donald Trump warned Colorado voters Saturday that if he doesn't win their state in November, their state will be "taken over by migrants" and their governor, Democrat Jared Polis, will be "sent fleeing." "Colorado began the threat to democracy against me, where they tried to unconstitutionally remove me from the ballot," Trump said during his rally Saturday at the Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, Wisc., which aired live on Newsmax and simulcast on the Newsmax2 online streaming platform. "I was the leading person in the whole country, leading everybody by a lot." The push was at the behest of Polis, but "many people in Colorado were absolutely angry," including Democrats and liberals, said Trump.  READ THE FULL STORY AT NEWSMA...

‘Happy’ Trump, composed Harris: How advisers want their candidate to act in Tuesday’s debate

By Ross O'keef | Washington Examiner Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are fine-tuning their approaches to Tuesday night’s presidential debate, which could have massive consequences for the presidential race. Their respective advisors are hoping they can embody specific molds on Tuesday, according to the New York Times: Harris as collected and presidential, and Trump as “happy” rather than vindictive, focusing on policy-based issues rather than personal attacks. Trump is facing high pressure for this debate given Harris’s rise in the polls since her takeover as Democratic nominee. The Republican candidate played an indirect role in forcing out President Joe Biden from the Democratic nominee position giv...

Hunter Biden says he pleaded guilty in $1.4M tax evasion case to ‘spare’ family from ‘embarrassment’

By Paul Bois | New York Post Hunter Biden pleaded guilty in his tax evasion case to “spare” his family from the “needless embarrassment” of having to go through a second trial — and endure even more evidence of his seedy behavior while hooked on drugs. The twice-convicted first son shocked a Los Angeles courtroom Thursday when he unexpectedly copped to an entire tax evasion case, which could land him behind bars for up to 17 years, as jury selection was about to start. “I will not subject my family to more pain, more invasions of privacy and needless embarrassment,” President Biden’s son said in a statement Thursday. “For all I have put them through over the years, I can spare them this, and so I have decided to plead guilty.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK ...

Kamala Harris, Tim Walz promote false framing of JD Vance statement on shootings

By Paul Bois | Breitbart Kamala Harris and her VP pick Tim Walz pushed the false framing of Republican Sen. JD Vance’s statement on shootings despite the Associated Press (AP) engendering backlash earlier. The Associated Press ignited massive backlash on Thursday when it blatantly misquoted Republican vice presidential pick JD Vance on school shootings. Speaking at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, Vance said he does not like that school shootings have become a “fact of life” while calling for better security. “If these psychos are going to go after our kids, we’ve got to be prepared for it,” Vance said. “We don’t have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality we live in. We’ve got to deal with it.” When the journalist asked Vance what the country could do to stop s...

Senate GOP bracing for last-minute leader bids — potentially by key Trump ally

By Julia Johnson | Fox News Senate Republicans have a feeling that the battle to succeed Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is just beginning and that more contenders will make last-minute bids for the role after the general election in November.  One name that continues to be tossed around is that of Steve Daines, R-Mont., head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), who has notably refused to rule out the possibility of running for the top Senate GOP role.  A source with knowledge told Fox News Digital that earlier in the year, after McConnell's shock February announcement that he would not seek another term as leader, former President Trump shared with allies that he would like to see Daines run for the position.  READ THE FULL STOR...
