Trump blasts Harris as part of Truth Social flurry on what she ‘didn’t mention’ in DNC speech

By Andrew Mark Miller | Fox News CHICAGO – Former President Donald Trump, as part of a live thread on Truth Social, blasted the Democratic National Convention speech of Vice President Kamala Harris in a variety of posts including one after she concluded talking about what she "didn't mention." "She didn’t mention China, she didn’t mention fracking, she didn’t mention Energy, she didn’t mention, meaningfully, Russia and Ukraine, she didn’t mention the big subjects of the day, that are destroying our Country," Trump posted on Truth Social shortly after Harris' speech concluded.  The former president posted several criticisms of Harris during the speech on several issues.

3 Things Kamala Harris Left Out of Her DNC Speech

By Bradley Delvin | Daily Signal Before Vice President Kamala Harris hit the stage to accept her party’s nomination for president Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, her campaign told reporters what to expect.  Harris campaign officials leaked to the press that the sitting vice president would reintroduce herself to Americans, despite being the second most powerful person in the country for the past three and a half years.  And although questions linger about Harris’ policy positions despite her becoming the presumptive nominee shortly after fellow Democrats forced President Joe Biden out of the race a month ago, Harris was expected to take aim at The Heritage Foundation-led Project 2025, a policy agenda for the next conservative a...

Fact-Checking Polis at the Democratic Convention: Holding Him Accountable Since Others Won’t

By Colorado Peak Politics Having completed his Comic Con duties in Colorado, Gov. Polis is now at the Democrat National Convention where he is being celebrated as the newest member of the progressive brat pack whilst flacking for Kamala. He made the obligatory appearance on MSNBC to hype the Democrat Party and the ascension of their unelected nominee to protect that kind of “democracy.” Since no one else is bothering to fact check the crazy claims being spewed from this side of the political aisle, Peak is taking up the challenge.

Poll: Trump has gained since 2020 in Black, Hispanic demos but race is a dead heat

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice When the Democrat National Convention closes tonight in Chicago, it could be an all-out sprint to the Nov. 5 finish line to determine who will become the next President of the United States. A new Cook Political Report national polling average, re-released Wednesday for the first time since Joe Biden's exit and Kamala Harris' entry, finds the race to be a virtual dead heat. The CPR average takes into consideration 12 traditional media polls, most of which lean to the political left, and nine online or larger panel polls. Harris, who had yet prior to her acceptance speech Thursday to share policy on her website, is leading Donald Trump by less than 1%. With all polls considered, Harris is favored by 47.6% and Trump by 46.7%. The CPR average...

Polis grandstands at DNC on Project 2025 agenda from which Trump has repeatedly distanced

By The Associated Press, via Fox 31 News Colorado Gov. Jared Polis addressed the crowd Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago as a slate of speakers focused on the Project 2025 agenda and the “freedoms” they argued Republicans want to take away. Vice presidential nominee Tim Walz was set to accept his nomination on the third night of the convention, which was also to feature former President Bill Clinton. Speaker after speaker argued that their party wants to defend freedoms — especially abortion access and voting rights — while Republicans want to take them away. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX 31 NEWS

When Fed Chair Powell speaks to central bank Friday in Jackson Hole, he might disappoint

By Jake Smith | The Street Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will take the stage at the central bank's annual retreat in Jackson Hole Friday with renewed confidence that inflation is receding and the economy is poised, albeit delicately, for a so-called soft landing. That knowledge, cemented by recent data, a resilient stock market and fading recession risks, will likely form the tone of his keynote address to attendees at the central bank's symposium in the northwest Wyoming resort town, which will be tracked by investors on Wall Street and around the world.

Daniel Davidson: In fake news infomercial, the DNC has been one long litany of stupid, obvious lies

By John Daniel Davidson | Commentary, The Federalist It almost goes without saying that what Democrats are putting on at the DNC this week in Chicago is a simulacrum of democracy, a mimicry of the excitement and drama that might have come from a deliberative process of Democrat Party voters choosing their presidential candidate. None of it is real. The DNC has all the trappings of a major political party convention but without any of the substance. Not a single Democrat voter cast a primary ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris, yet Democrats are going through the motions as if that’s exactly what happened.

McGhee White: Earth to Democrats, why can’t you stop trying to appease the worst of Gen Z

By Kaylee McGhee White| The Washington Examiner The Democratic National Convention has barely begun, and it is already marred by liberal lunacy and protests from anti-Israel radicals, both of which are being driven by the very voters Democrats are trying to court: leftist Gen Zers. Vice President Kamala Harris, who, barring yet another intraparty coup, will be coronated this week as the party’s presidential nominee, seems to believe that success at the polls this November depends on winning over my generation of young voters. In fact, she seems to have handed over her entire campaign strategy to fresh-out-of-college 20-year-olds who think memes and “vibes” are an acceptable replacement for policy and substance.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHIN...

Sen. John Hickenlooper, who once said he wasn’t fit for the job, wants one more term in U.S. Senate

By Tara Suter | The Hill Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper (D) said Wednesday that he will run for reelection just once. “I’m only gonna do two terms,” Hickenlooper told Punchbowl News’ Andrew Desiderio. “I’ve said it first here, two-term limit, oath of conscience.” Hickenlooper, the state’s former governor, gained a seat in the upper chamber by way of winning a key race against former Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) in 2020. “There should be more people that are involved in local, municipal politics and governing and state politics and governing, who [get] into the Senate so that they bring those experiences with ‘em,” said Hickenlooper, who has also served as mayor of Denver.

The Free Press: In her own basement strategy, how long can Kamala Harris avoid the press?

By The Editors | Commentary, The Free Press It has been a month since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. And a glorious month it’s been for Democrats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit. rats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit. But with all the kumbaya—despite fears of a 1968 reprise, the Dems have put on a mostly drama-free show in Chicago—Harris has avoided saying a single substantive thing, either about her record...
