Kamala Harris’ tax plan could cost U.S. nearly 800k jobs, add $1.7T in tax revenue, study finds

By Eric Revell  | Fox Business Vice President Kamala Harris' tax plan could cost the U.S. economy nearly 800,000 jobs, a new analysis by the Tax Foundation finds. Harris' tax plan, which contains a variety of tax increases, cuts and credits, is based largely on President Biden's budget – though the vice president has offered her own policy ideas since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.  Overall, the Tax Foundation analysis finds a loss of 786,000 full-time equivalent jobs over the long run under Harris' plan when compared to baseline projections, as well as 2% decline in long-run GDP and a 1.2% dip in long-run wages, while bringing in nearly $1.7 trillion in additional tax revenue over the next decade.

Biden-Harris immigration programs admit 1.3 million migrants, including gang members and terror suspects

By Jennie Taer | New York Post Just five months before Luis Miguel Calzadilla-Rojas — a Venezuelan migrant and alleged Tren de Aragua gangbanger — was arrested after a shooting outside a probation office in Aurora, Colorado, he was welcomed into the US — thanks to a controversial immigration program launched by the Biden-Harris administration. Calzadilla-Rojas entered the country using CBP One — an app that is designed to allow asylum seekers a legal pathway to entry into America. He’s just one of 1.3 million migrants who have come into the country through legal routes created by the Biden-Harris admin in less than two years. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE NEW YORK POST

MIG REPORTS: Is the Harris campaign crashing?

By MIG Reports, Commentary Political discourse has intensified following the Trump versus Harris debate, with MIG Reports data showing Trump continuing to surge as Harris loses momentum. Stories like the infamous Springfield, Ohio incident, where rumors swirled about Haitian migrants allegedly consuming cats and dogs, served to further polarize partisan divides. Against a backdrop of ire toward the media and Democrats, a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump also ignites passions on both sides. National sentiment toward Trump remains strong, maintaining at least a 5-point lead over Harris since the debate. Republican support across the electoral college remains tight, with Democrats gaining slight ground since the debate. Media Frenzy and Voter Anger: After the deba...

Optics were more important to Biden-Harris Administration than protecting Afghanistan 13, Rep. Lopez says

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice As America paused on 9/11 last week to remember those lost in terrorist attacks on New York City, U.S. Rep. Greg Lopez went to the floor of the U.S. House to address the country's exit from the resulting war in Afghanistan. "President [Joe] Biden and Vice President [Kamala] Harris fled a country we freed for two decades, left in the grasp of merciless terrorists," said Lopez, who represents Colorado's 4th District in the U.S. House. "Why did we have to lose 13 brave service members? We didn't." He levied blame for the "catastrophic exit" from Afghanistan on the leadership of Biden-Harris. "We lost them because there was no real plan on how to get out of Afghanistan," Lopez said. "Any real, true commander-in-chief would know that you must p...

Trump blames Biden-Harris ‘rhetoric’ for latest assassination attempt

By Brooke Singman | Fox News Former President Trump said President Biden and Vice President Harris’ "rhetoric" is what is causing him to be "shot at," following the second assassination attempt against him since July, while telling Fox News Digital that the suspected gunman "acted" on "highly inflammatory language" of Democrats.   Trump spoke exclusively with Fox News Digital Monday morning, just a day after he was rushed off of the golf course at Trump International in West Palm Beach, Fla., after the Secret Service discovered a gunman in the bushes.  The suspected gunman, Ryan Wesley Routh, had an AK-47 style rifle pointing through the chain-link fence out toward the green; a go-pro camera; and two backpacks. He ran from the scene but was pulle...

Biden-Harris national security spokesman says no need to respond to vets on Afghanistan withdrawal debacle

By Jarrett Stepman  | Daily Signal White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby wrote Wednesday that there is “no use responding” to a “handful of vets” involved in the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle. Fox News obtained an email sent with that message by Kirby on the anniversary of 9/11 as a “reply all” likely meant for his staffers. “Clearly, I didn’t realize you were on the chain,” Kirby said about his initial email, Fox reported. The high-profile spokesman sent the email about not responding to some military veterans to address questions from Fox News about Kirby’s providing cover for the Biden-Harris administration on its hurried departure from Afghanistan in August 2021.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL

Kamala Harris silent on whether she still supports ‘transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison’

By Tyler O'Neil | Daily Signal At Tuesday night’s debate, former President Donald Trump said his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, supports “transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.” Harris looked on skeptically, suggesting Trump was off his rocker. Yet Harris has indeed supported transgender medical interventions on illegal alien prisoners, and she has not publicly disavowed the claim. Her campaign did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment about it. Some legacy media outlets rushed to “fact-check” Trump’s claim. Time magazine’s story on the debate originally blasted Trump’s quote as false. Time later appended this correction: READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL

Gray: The desperation at the heart of the Harris candidacy

By Freddy Gray, Commentary | The Spectator Barack Obama wrote The Audacity of Hope. The Kamala Harris story of 2024 could be called The Audacity of Desperation. Her brief candidacy has been an awesome display of chutzpah. With just weeks to go before the election, a panicked Democratic Party pushed aside their failing commander-in-chief and replaced him with Harris, the distinctly unpopular vice-president. She was then shamelessly presented to America and the world as an agent of change, even though she has no clear vision or agenda of her own. Twelve days have passed since Kamala Harris accepted the nomination and still her campaign website offers no clues as to what she might do as president. She has made some noises that sound a bit like policies. She’ll protect abo...

Ganahl: Colorado’s ties to Kamala’s lies about later term abortion

By Heidi Ganahl, Commentary | Rocky Mountain Voice One of Kamala Harris’s most glaring falsehoods during the recent presidential debate was her dismissal of Donald Trump’s claim that abortion is legal and on demand at any point during pregnancy in some states. Harris confidently declared, “Nowhere in America is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion. That is not an abortion. That is not happening.”  But the truth is, it *is* happening—right here in Colorado. The radical position of “abortion until birth” was on full display as Harris, much like our Colorado Governor Jared Polis, defended unrestricted access to abortion without acknowledging the serious ethical and moral implications of late-term procedures. Her VP pick Walz is just as r...

First ballots mailed out closer to the Biden-Harris switcheroo than Election Day

By Elle Purnell | The Federalist A lot has happened in the past two months. Donald Trump survived a bullet to the head by a would-be assassin; Joe Biden failed to survive a presidential debate. Kamala Harris has been the Democrats’ replacement candidate for such a short period of time that media are still talking about a Harris “honeymoon” — and she just got around to releasing a policy platform this week. And yet, the first ballots are already in the mail and on their way to voters. Alabama, the first state to drop ballots in the mail, started shipping them out on Wednesday to absentee ballot applicants as well as military and overseas voters. There are 55 days between Wednesday, the official start of election season, and Nov. 5, the date that still bears the moniker of...
