Trump: Under Harris, Biden ‘grocery price up 21.6%, rent up 22%, electricity up 31.7% ‘

By Jennifer Harper  | The Washington Times Former President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is rolling out some compelling numbers when it comes to the U.S. economy. “Under President Trump, for the first time in 70 years, our nation achieved energy independence and was on the verge of global energy dominance. Under President Trump, the typical family of four was saving $2,500 a year in lower energy prices thanks to the shale oil and gas revolution alone,” the campaign said in a lengthy analysis released on Monday. “President Trump believes that by unleashing American energy, we can once again make American energy and electricity the most affordable and reliable in the world. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, wants to make life as difficult as possible for Americans. The pr...

Biden, Hillary Clinton to highlight first night of DNC speakers; ‘Squad’ member AOC to also speak

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice President Joe Biden will highlight the speakers on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention. He was expected to be the Democrats' nominee for president, until a month ago, when he abruptly announced his decision not to accept the nomination. Some have called it a political coup, removing the nominee for Vice President Kamala Harris, who did not go through the primary process. The Democratic National Convention in Chicago will be broadcast nightly from Aug. 19-22 on most major news networks. "[Biden] sees it as an important moment to talk directly, not just to the party, the Democratic Party and delegates, but also, obviously, to the American people," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. The opening night o...

Democratic Party platform released Sunday calls for re-electing Joe Biden

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart The Democratic Party released its official platform on Sunday night, to be voted on at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois — and it calls for reelecting President Joe Biden, who was still the candidate at the time the document was finalized in mid-July. “President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats are running to finish the job,” it says.

Harris, Biden talk big on ‘Big Pharma’, but have accepted combined $11M in campaign donations since 1990

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell  | Commentary, The Daily Signal President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris slammed Big Pharma for “inflating the price of lifesaving medications” in a speech Thursday in Largo, Maryland. But Biden and Harris’ congressional campaigns received $9 million and $2 million, respectively, from 1990-2024. “Folks, this is a fight all of us have been fighting for a long time,” Biden said. “Thinking about Big Pharma, we pay more for prescription drugs, it’s not hyperbole, we pay more for prescription drugs than any advanced nation in the world.” Despite Biden and Harris’ strong anti-Big Pharma rhetoric, Biden was the top congressional recipient of donations from pharmaceuticals and health care products from 1990-2024, accepting more than $9 ...

Bidenomics or Kamalanomics? Either way it’s the worst inflation record since Reagan sacked Carter

By Amy Furr | Breitbart Consumer prices have soared 20.2 percent since Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden took office 42 months ago, according to the Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index (CPI). Americans continue to feel the strain of runaway inflation. That is the worst inflation record for any president since Jimmy Carter. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have spent the last three and a half years promoting the same ideas and touting the same economic programs. That’s now seen as a burden for Harris as she tries to distance herself from Biden’s unpopular programs and economy. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

‘I just say: Be careful’: Justice Neil Gorsuch of Colorado says of Biden’s Supreme Court proposals

By Josh Gerstein | Politico Justice Neil Gorsuch is pushing back against President Joe Biden’s recent proposals to restructure the Supreme Court. “I just say: Be careful,” Gorsuch warned in an interview that aired on “Fox News Sunday.” Less than a week after Biden announced he was reversing course and supporting 18-year term limits for justices and legislation to create a binding ethics code for the high court, the first of President Donald Trump’s three Supreme Court appointees encouraged Americans to think long and hard before taking steps that might undermine the independence of the judicial system.

Sloan: With Biden out and Harris in, don’t toll the victory bell just yet

By Kelly Sloan | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In the pantheon of political events, Joe Biden’s belated decision to become the first sitting President since Lyndon B. Johnson to not seek re-election was about as surprising as the advent of the sunrise at dawn. Even had George Clooney not bestowed the nation with the gravitas of his august thoughts on the matter, the weight of internal opposition – not to mention the polling that was looking increasingly grim for the aging and often bewildered President – was such that the decision was destined to be made sooner than later.  It’s telling, somewhat, that Biden refused to proffer any explanation for his withdrawal during his Oval Office address. The exact circumstances surrounding his acceptance of the ultimate decision – esp...

Bill Barr: Biden reforms would usher in ‘radical change’, purge Supreme Court’s conservative justices

By Miranda Nazzaro | The Hill Former Attorney General Bill Barr offered his concerns about President Biden’s reform proposals for the Supreme Court on Monday, arguing they would eliminate the high court’s conservative justices and “destroy the independence of the judiciary.” “Americans need to understand that the campaign to radically change the Court is coming. While current proposals like term limits for the longest-serving justices and an imposed code of ethics threaten the Constitution and the separation of powers, the far left is demanding that Court be packed with additional liberal justices,” Barr and Kelly Shackelford — the president, CEO and chief counsel for First Liberty Institute — wrote in an op-ed published with Fox News on Monday.

Hammer: The bloodless coup of Joe Biden will not work out well for Democrats

By Josh Hammer  | Commentary, The Daily Signal The Democratic Party ruling class’ bloodless coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, who also happens to be the nominal sitting president of the United States, is one of the most astonishing political developments of my lifetime. Joe Biden, though clearly physically and mentally impaired, has sought the presidency for quite literally longer than I have been alive. Biden had been defiant ever since the June 27 presidential debate debacle that he was not going anywhere, despite overwhelming pressure from party elites and sycophantic media lap dogs demanding he do precisely that. He has a Lady Macbeth-like wife who craves power and he has a felonious son in desperate need of a presidential pardon. Yet the...

When pushed, Jen Psaki apologizes to Afghanistan Gold Star families for false claim Biden didn’t check his watch

By Rachel Schilke | Washington Examiner Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki extended an apology to the families of the 13 Gold Star military service members who died in the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 on Friday. During a transcribed interview, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) asked Psaki about her comments that she wrote in her book, Say More, that stated President Joe Biden never looked at his watch during a ceremony in late August 2021 honoring soldiers killed in Afghanistan returning home.   “The chairman asked Ms. Psaki about her comments regarding President Biden looking at his watch while at Dover [Air Force Base] and asked her if she had anything she wanted to say to the families on the record,” Leslie Shedd,...
