Voters: Biden is losing it, and the media are covering it up

By Paul Bedard | Denver Gazette There is a growing concern among voters that President Joe Biden is losing his mental edge and that the media are working overtime to hide it. In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 59% of voters said they believe Biden “is getting less and less mentally sharp over time.” White voters at 59% and black voters at 58% are in agreement that Biden is becoming more mentally challenged. Even 36% of Democrats agree, Rasmussen said. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

Could GOP leader Ronna McDaniel be out? Trump suggests she could be removed

By Conrad Hoyt | The Gazette Former President Donald Trump said there will "probably be some changes made" regarding the Republican National Committee and its chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel. Speaking on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures, the Republican presidential front-runner maintained that he has "nothing to do" with the RNC. He then spoke candidly about McDaniel, his longtime ally and a woman he helped secure the post in 2017 after she helped him win Michigan in the 2016 presidential election. Host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump how he thought McDaniel was doing in her current role, to which he paused before answering: "I think she did great when she ran Michigan for me. I think she did OK, initially, in the RNC. I would say right now, there'll probably be s...

Republican governors warn of ‘Imminent Danger’ in Biden’s open border policies

Thirteen governors descend upon Eagle Pass along southern border By Sydnie Henry | Texas Scorecard EAGLE PASS—Texas Gov. Greg Abbott gathered with 13 other Republican governors to assert the states’ right to self-defense as President Joe Biden’s border crisis continues. “Joe Biden does not need more legislative authority,” said Abbott, citing the laws already in place that Texas is attempting to follow. “He just needs a backbone to step up and do his job and secure the border.” Abbott held a press conference in Shelby Park Sunday afternoon, the site of an ongoing battle between the federal and state governments after Texas seized Shelby Park last month. Shelby Park has long been a hotspot for illegal crossings, and since the state took it over and fortified it, cro...

‘We’re broke with Biden’: S. Carolina voters explain interest in voting for Trump

By Asher Notheis | The Gazette South Carolina voters explained in a recent interview the reasons they intend to vote for former President Donald Trump this November instead of President Joe Biden. The voters were discussing the presidential election in an interview that aired on Friday, during which they were asked if they knew of anyone who was planning to vote for Trump or considering the possibility of voting for him. Kinard Givens, one of the voters being interviewed, said yes, noting that he has friends who felt more secure financially with Trump as president than Biden. "They’re like, ‘well, we’re broke with Biden. We weren’t with Trump,’" Givens told MSNBC. "And that’s kind of the only thing that I’m hearing over and over again." READ THE FULL STORY AT THE...

Noem accused of using border crisis to boost her chances of becoming VP

By Jenny Goldsberry | Colorado Springs Gazette The Oglala Sioux tribe has banished Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) from its reservation over her comments on the border, claiming she's using the border crisis to "increase her chances" of becoming vice president. The tribe's president, Frank Star Comes Out, sent a letter to the governor Friday following Noem's speech to the legislature on Jan. 31. While he made it clear the Oglala Sioux are neither a Republican tribe nor a Democratic one, he wrote the letter in defense of the "Indian people from such places as El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico" that are seeking a better life. "The truth of the matter is that Governor Noem wants the use of the so-called 'invasion' of the southern border as a Republican 'cr...

‘Amnesty’ or border crackdown? What’s in the Senate’s $20 billion immigration deal?

By David Sivak | Colorado Springs Gazette Senate leadership released the text of a bipartisan compromise on the border Sunday evening, the product of four months of painstaking negotiations. Elements of the deal, brokered by a bipartisan working group, had been teased in the days leading up to its release; however, the granular details offered by the text itself will determine how much support the bill receives in the Senate. The package, part of a larger national security supplemental, will be considered as soon as Wednesday. The negotiations have been a lightning rod for controversy ever since they began in earnest, with apparent leaks threatening to derail the legislation before it ever came to light.

Biden team worried about next big embarrassment to hit president

By Haisten Willis | Colorado Springs Gazette The Biden campaign fears that the results of a classified documents investigation could lead to embarrassing information, and possibly photos, that could damage President Joe Biden's reelection chances. Biden's aides believe special counsel Robert Hur's investigation won't lead to any criminal charges, according to Axios, but unflattering details and photos could still lead to political damage. Former President Donald Trump is facing felony charges related to his handling of classified documents. Soon after his Mar-a-Lago home was raided in August 2022, Biden weighed in by asking aloud how "anyone could be that irresponsible." READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE

Nancy Pelosi’s stock portfolio gains raise more concerns over Congressional trading

By The Lobby As Americans continue to grapple with the rising costs of food and gas, Rep. Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio saw substantial gains in 2023. Despite a rough year in 2022, when increased scrutiny was placed on her trading activities, the former Speaker reportedly enjoyed a remarkable 65% return on her investments. These impressive gains surpass the performance of many major hedge funds, raising eyebrows and prompting questions about Pelosi’s investment strategies. One key factor in Pelosi's success appears to be her "luck" in using stock options, a practice that often raises suspicions of trading on inside information. This is particularly concerning given that members of Congress have access to a wealth of privileged information that could give them an unfair advantage ...

Speaker: ‘The President has executive authority right now’ to act on border crisis

By Jack Birle | Colorado Springs Gazette House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) placed blame for the border crisis on President Joe Biden, insisting the president should act on solving the crisis as Senate negotiators are slated to release the text of their proposed border security bill on Sunday. Johnson put the ball in Biden's court to act on the border, arguing he has the authority to enact measures the House GOP has pursued through its H.R. 2 bill, which has not been considered by the Senate while speaking on NBC News's Meet the Press on Sunday. "I have been saying what the requirements are to fix the problem. I don't care if they call the legislation HR 2 or not. What we're saying is you have to stem the flow. The President has executive authority right no...

Trump leading Biden on economy by over 20 points despite positive trends: Poll

By Kaelan Deese | Colorado Springs Gazette President Joe Biden is trailing former President Donald Trump by more than 20 points on the issue of which candidate would better handle the economy, according to a new poll. The leading Republican front-runner, Trump, holds a 22-point lead over Biden on the question of which candidate would better handle the economy, with 55% picking Trump and 33% selecting Biden, according to an NBC News poll conducted Jan. 26-30. The dismal outlook for Biden comes despite his recent boasting that "jobs are growing," with more than 300,000 created just last month. When the same question was proposed to voters in October 2020, a month before Biden defeated Trump, the then-president held just a seven-point advantage over Bide...
