Denver is set to provide 140 homeless people with $12,000 in cash with no strings attached to help get them out of destitution, and a last ditch effort to combat soaring crime rates in the Mile-High City.
The city has allocated $2million from the American Rescue Plan Act to fund the program, which will be run by the Denver Basic Income Project.
The total program, which will cost around $9million, is seeking to help around 820 people, but the $2million provided by the city will fund around 140 people.
The rest of the money will be raised through charitable foundations, including the Colorado Health Foundation and the Denver Foundation,
When Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in September 2020 and President Trump began moving to replace her, the Left was at their typical level of rage. I was walking along Main Street in my hometown of Grapevine, Texas one morning shortly after the justice’s passing and was struck by a perspective of her career that I decided to tweet:
Just a reminder that Ruth Bader Ginsburg could have casually retired at 80 yrs old under Obama and been replaced by an ultra progressive in their 40s . . . but they chose not to.
It’s not Republicans’ or Trump’s fault
The percentage of Americans who are refusing to get a vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus is remaining consistent, as nearly three in ten have yet to receive a single jab for the virus, a poll from The Economist/YouGov found. The survey found that 28 percent have not received any coronavirus jab from any manufacturer, compared to 72 percent who said they have. What is more, 58 percent indicated that they are at least triple vaccinated. However, it appears that those who are unvaccinated will remain so, as 66 percent said they do to plan on getting any shots, followed by 16 percent who said they “might” and nine percent
Last week, Oberlin College announced it would pay Gibson’s Bakery the sum of $36.59 million in damages and attorney’s fees. With litigation now concluded, members of the community are reflecting on the circumstances of the original incident and the culmination of five years of litigation.

Joe Biden on Saturday arrived in London to attend Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
Queen Elizabeth II passed away last week at the age of 96.

The president was expected to sign the official condolence book and attend a reception Sunday at Buckingham Palace hosted by King Charles III
Next time, Joe Biden should be more precise when he calls for national unity. Because he and his fellow Democrats don’t like the kind of unity they’re getting from Republican governors.
The decision by GOP leaders in Texas, Florida and Arizona to “share” their abundance of foreign migrants with northern cities and states that boast of their sanctuary status is apparently not a gift the Dems appreciate. In fact, the president and his party are so mad they’re setting fire to the welcome wagons.
Shipping the migrants north is outrageous, a stunt, pure politics, they wail.
My Son Hunter, the new movie from Breitbart News, is a fact-based dramatization of the life of debauchery and corruption lived by the first son Hunter Biden. Although the movie takes certain artistic liberties, many scenes portray true accounts of the Biden scion’s life; this “True Fact” series will detail those accuracies.
True Fact: Hunter Biden sat on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, while his then-Vice President father was in charge of U.S. policy toward Ukraine.
Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma in 2014 — while his father was described as the “public face of the administration’s handling of Ukraine.”
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), declared that “crime is through the roof” and that it will play a “huge” role in the upcoming midterm elections during his recent appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.
“At the end of the day, I’ll put it in terms like this. You don’t know what the jury — the voters — are going to decide [in] November,” Emmer explained. “I do know that they’re going to return the majority to Republicans, but how broad and how deep that is, we’ll leave that for them to tell us.”
McDonald’s CEP Chris Kempczinski, who has shown a proclivity for bowing down to the woke mob, is saying the quiet part out loud.
Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago is a crime-ridden disaster.
Kempczinski said in a recent speech that the company is having trouble convincing McDonald’s employees to return to their corporate headquarters because of fears of rising violent crime.
Chicago, like all liberal run cities with their defund the police mindset, is facing a rising crime wave.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hemmed and hawed again last week about the House plan to rein in sketchy trades by members of Congress and their families, making empty noises about getting it done in the wake of a brutal New York Times report ID’ing almost 100 members — nearly 20%! — who reported trades in apparent conflict with their duties as overseers of laws and regulations around American industry in 2019-’21.
She’s plainly stalling, and for obvious reasons: Pelosi’s a byword for such trades with her husband — financier Paul Pelosi
Since about mid-2015, no man has been more hated by the mainstream media and their Democrat allies than Donald Trump. The hysteria surrounding the now-former president has essentially not ceased since he came down the escalator at Trump Tower to announce his run for the White House.
Things have been so insane that the moniker “orange man bad” was coined. Everything Trump does is scrutinized in the tenth degree. Anonymous sources constantly form the basis of press stories that often turn out to be false. To this day, Trump is still accused of being a white supremacist foreign agent for the Russians.
Keep ’em coming! (Photo) The first busload of illegal immigrants sent by Governor Greg Abbott of Texas arrived in New York City in early August.
Governors Abbott, Ducey and DeSantis need to keep busing and flying illegals to Democrat sanctuary cities.
So far illegals have been transported to Chicago, New York City, DC and Martha’s Vineyard.
Texas Governor Abbott this week sent busloads of illegals to Kamala Harris’ front yard in DC.
Jeff Bezos has dropped to third place in the race for riches.
The Amazon founder is now the world’s third-richest person, after Indian business tycoon Gautam Adani leapfrogged Bezos in the latest Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index.
Adani has amassed an estimated $146.8 billion fortune that only trails Elon Musk’s $263.9 billion, according to Bloomberg News.
It’s the first time a person from Asia has ranked so highly on the Bloomberg’s list, which has long been dominated by white billionaires.
Bezos trails Adani by just $19 million.
President Trump will speak Saturday night in Youngstown, Ohio at a Save America rally to stump for U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance. Additional speakers scheduled to appear include Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Bill Johnson (R-OH) and congressional candidates Madison Gesiotto Gilbert, J.R. Majewski and Max Miller.
Trump is scheduled to speak at 7 pm ET.
Trump supporters camped out ahead of the rally.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a staunch ally of Donald Trump's, was spotted at the former president's Ohio rally on Saturday using a cell phone - days after he said his own was seized by the FBI.
Lindell told DailyMail.com he's suing the US government and the FBI to get it back and that the phone he was seen using was a replacement.
After initially ignoring shouted requests for comment, he replied to a text message from DailyMail.com asking whether his phone was returned.
'They did not return it and I am suing the USA government and the FBI on Tuesday September 20th,' Lindell said.
Dr. Jordan Peterson has posted a blistering (and characteristically artful) reprimand aimed at Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal. Peterson’s Twitter account was suspended back in June after he made comments about the “transition” of actress Ellen Page.

Peterson questioned the logic of women having perfectly healthy breasts removed for cosmetic purposes.
Albany—New York is making it easier for public servants to get relief from student loans. Gov. Hochul signed a bill into law Thursday that expands student debt relief to include more teachers and school faculty and will simplify eligibility rules for a soon-to-expire federal loan forgiveness program.“When you think about people crushed under the weight of student debt, you know, student debt doesn’t just defer your dreams,” the governor said during a signing ceremony at Borough of Manhattan Community College.(Snip)“We’ve removed bureaucratic barriers, making it easier for those who selflessly chose careers in public service to apply for relief before the limited PSLF Waiver
President Joe Biden will campaign in Florida later this month as he continues criticizing Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R), who is running for reelection.
The White House confirmed that Biden will attend a rally for the Democrat National Committee in Orlando, Florida, on September 27.
DeSantis angered the White House when he transported migrants who had crossed the Southern border to Martha’s Vineyard, a paradise for Democrat elites.
“Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props,” Biden said
The Department of Justice fired off an angry appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday, which followed upon Florida Judge Aileen Cannon refusing to bend to its demands to return documents with ‘classified’ markings to prosecutors after the appointment of a ‘special master’ to review them.
In its appeal, the DOJ took exception to the court’s appointment of a “special master” to review the documents seized at the former president’s property at Mar-a-Lago on August 8 for those covered by attorney-client or executive privilege. However, the Justice Department’s partial appeal did not challenge the appointment of the special master,
The twentieth century is now well and truly over. The death of the Queen who presided over the second half of it may come to represent a critical point in history: the moment when what will be understood historically as a golden age of confidence and prosperity came to an end. After the terrible ideological wars of its first four decades, that century somehow reinvented itself as a time of quite extraordinary progress. It was as if the world – having been engulfed twice by horror and unprecedented mass murder – had made a vow to atone.
Five hours before the doors of Youngstown’s Covelli Centre opened Saturday, there was already a line for admission. The crowd was in good spirits, bouncing a beach ball back and forth. Somewhere, someone got the crowd chanting “back the blue” in support of police officers.
The crowd was assembling in advance of former President Donald Trump's arrival to stump for U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance and energize his supporters from Northeast Ohio and beyond ahead of a key midterm election.
Outside, the crowd continued to grow, with the line eventually disappearing up South Walnut Street. Many people arriving were decked out in Trump merchandise.
A federal appeals court in New Orleans has ruled in favor of a Texas law that seeks to rein in the power of social media companies like Facebook and Twitter to censor free speech.
The decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans (pdf), handed down on Sept. 16, upholds the constitutionality of a Texas law signed by Gov. Greg Abbott last year and delivers a victory to Republicans in their fight against big tech censorship of conservative viewpoints.
“Today we reject the idea that corporations have a freewheeling First Amendment right to censor what people say,” U.S. Circuit Court Judge Andrew Oldham wrote in the opinion.
The city Department of Education has axed another 850 teachers and classroom aides—bringing the total to nearly 2,000 school employees fired for failure to comply with a vaccine mandate increasingly struck down in court. About 1,300 DOE employees who took a year’s unpaid leave—with benefits—agreed to show proof of COVID vaccination by Sept. 5 or be “deemed to have voluntarily resigned.” Of those staffers, 450 got a shot by the deadline and “are returning to their prior schools or work locations,” DOE officials told The Post. They include some 225 teachers and 135 paraprofessionals. The 850 let go makes roughly 1,950 DOE staffers terminated since the vaccine mandate
“Good Christian” Lori Lightfoot has finally said it. The migrant crisis was caused by the federal government, and the federal government must step up to address the results of its policy.
“This is a national problem, it needs a national solution, cities and states cannot be left to fend for ourselves,” she proclaimed from her pulpit. (Tweet/Video)Lightfoot has done the one thing everyone has been waiting for. She has shined the spotlight on the Biden Administration, saying essentially that “this is your problem.” A federal problem. Needing a federal solution. Democrat mayors and governors had seemed to avoid saying this, but Chicago is now on record saying it.
If you needed any more evidence that the left is desperately worried about the upcoming congressional elections, this should satisfy you. Preston Moore, an attorney and TikTok influencer who discusses news related to legal issues, posted a video explaining how a nonprofit organization called the Good Information Foundation offered him cash to cut a video in which he would perpetuate disinformation related to the riot at the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.
In the video, Moore said:
I was just offered $400 to make an anti Donald Trump propaganda post related to the January 6 investigation. That is completely not true.
Rep. Henry Cuellar said Saturday he disagreed with Vice President Kamala Harris‘s assessment that the southern border is secure, citing his border district’s experience with the influx of migrants into the United States. The Texas Democrat cited the thousands of people that come across the border per day, as well as more than four million people reported as crossing the border in the past two years. “The border is not secure, with all due respect to the VP,” Mr. Cuellar told CNN. “We get thousands of people along the border, at least 6 to 8 thousand people a day.” The congressman added: “You’re talking about almost 4 plus, maybe 4.4

In her 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II met 13 US presidents. But there was one that she took a special shine to. In his book "Kensington Palace: An Intimate Memoir from Queen Mary to Meghan Markle," author Tom Quinn wrote, "after meeting Barack Obama who she completely fell in love with – she has frequently asked her courtiers if they could arrange for him to come to Britain now he is no longer president." Over their eight years spent in the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama visited Buckingham Palace three times. The pair got off to a

(snip)Perhaps the most stunning disclosure is that Danchenko was given confidential human source (CHS) status by the FBI in March 2017. Notably, this was after Danchenko had disowned the Steele dossier in a January 2017 FBI interview, having admitted that it was based on gossip and rumors. Given the admission, there was no legitimate reason to extend the protections of CHS status to Danchenko, (snip)

If you enjoyed watching the left squirm and enter fits of pearl-clutching rage after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) flew 50 illegal immigrants to the deep-blue elitist Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, grab some popcorn and sit back in your comfiest chair because it’s about to get absolutely wild.
The Florida governor took intense backlash for his decision to take advantage of Martha’s Vineyard’s sanctuary city policy, with some in the media even comparing his actions to those of Adolf Hitler. Clearly, DeSantis isn’t even the slightest bit fazed, as he recently doubled down on his new tactic during a press conference Friday, according to a CNN report.
During the Friday presser,
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that the administration has taken “unprecedented action” to secure the border–even as we face an ongoing border crisis.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the Biden administration’s record on immigration at a press conference, answering a reporter who asked about the border crisis by remarking, “We understand that we have work to do, we understand that, and we have been doing the work to do that.” (Tweet/Video) She continued, “We have taken unprecedented action over the past year and a half to secure our border and rebuild a safe and orderly processing system.”
Experts have warned that Joe Biden's deal to give rail workers a pay increase to avoid major shutdowns on Friday could lead to more large settlements in the future.
The Biden administration reached a tentative deal on Thursday to raise rail employees' salaries by 24 percent, but labor experts say the deal could embolden future strikers.
'This is a very, very contentious time,' Michael Lotito, co-chairman of the Workplace Policy Institute at Littler, told the Wall Street Journal. 'I think that is going to embolden unions to ask for more.'
NBC News deleted a tweet that compared immigrants to trash in light of the recent movement of several dozen illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard Friday.
The outlet shared its article on Twitter about Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis sending 50 migrants to Martha’s Vineyard as part of a state project relocating migrants to sanctuary cities. The tweet included a quote from a refugee foundation leader which compared the relocation of immigrants to throwing one’s own trash in different areas.
“Florida Gov. DeSantis sending asylum-seekers to Martha’s Vineyard is like ‘me taking my trash out and just driving to different areas where I live and just throwing my trash there,’ a founding member
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is running for US Senate, but his floundering performance on the campaign trail has left many questioning whether he is fit to run for office — or even serve in the upper chamber of the house.
After Fetterman suffered a stroke just days before his May primary, reporters were later told he had a pacemaker and a defibrillator fitted to address atrial fibrillation — a serious heart condition that was diagnosed years earlier but not revealed before he ran for lieutenant governor or senate. In a June statement, his doctor said he also had a serious heart condition called cardiomyopathy.
Surprise, surprise. It turns out the activist media lied got it wrong again.
Remember when leftists, in their full-on meltdown over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis transporting illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard, shrieked about the notion that these individuals were not told where they were going?
Yeah, looks like that particular narrative wasn’t exactly in line with reality.
I told you it would be surprising, didn’t I?
The Daily Caller News Foundation reported that the illegals who were transported to the white progressive haven at Martha’s Vineyard knew exactly where they were going. In fact, they obtained the documents these individuals were given before making the trek to the island.
The Martha’s Vineyard debacle has been quite revelatory in that it has further exposed how white progressives truly feel about illegal immigrants and others trying to gain entry into the United States. Over the past few days, the nation got more than just a small glimpse into how these folks operate.
The bottom line is that residents of Martha’s Vineyard, despite being overwhelmingly “progressive,” are vocal supporters of illegal immigrants – as long as they don’t have to deal with them up close. The Blaze’s Chad Prather illustrated this reality perfectly by grabbing his ol’ six-string and writing a poignant ditty about the matter.(Tweet/Video)

As the midterms quickly approach, both sides of the aisle are ramping up their grandstanding.
And while the results of the November elections are still anyone’s guess, the results of another race are becoming clear: the left is losing the battle of theatrics.
To make matters worse, the right is just starting to get the hang of it. Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis decided to send two planes full of illegal aliens to the beautiful, beautiful-people-filled island of Martha’s Vineyard.
Not to be outdone, Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent two buses of illegal aliens to Vice President Kamala Harris’s residence in Washington, DC.

whitepaper obtained first by The Federalist suggests Special Counsel John Durham botched the investigation of a second Russia collusion hoax, the one concerning Yota cellphones.
In a scandal linked to the Spygate operation, Hillary Clinton cronies peddled to the CIA fake evidence they claimed established Donald Trump and his associates were using the Russian-made Yota cellphones in the vicinity of the White House and other key locations. The news of this operation broke during the special counsel’s prosecution of former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann. However, the just-obtained Yota whitepaper that was supposed to undergird Sussmann’s claims differs substantially from the memoranda documenting what Sussmann supposedly said to the CIA.
Illegal migrants Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, were informed of their destination prior to boarding flights to the island, according to documents exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Yes, they were asked multiple times if they wanted to go,” said a source with close contact to the ground operation that moved the around 50 illegal migrants. The packets included a map with Martha’s Vineyard marked with a red star with the label “YOU ARE HERE,” written in both English and Spanish. The packets also had documents with local resources, including the contact information for community services and churches in the area, potential employment opportunities
ROME — Pope Francis has decided not to protest the Hong Kong trial of Cardinal Joseph Zen, arrested last May for his part in the nation’s pro-democracy movement.

When the axis tilts

The Martha’s Vineyard’s meltdown illustrates the efficacy of a few of Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals. Governors Abbott and DeSantis have put several of Alinsky’s rules in play Among them:
• Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
• Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
• A good tactic is one your people enjoy.
• Keep the pressure on.
• The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
• Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
These rules were formulated for the use of the left. When employed to mount opposition to the left, the axis of American life and politics tilts. The end of the world is nigh.
Senator Ted Cruz branded Joe Biden 'the biggest human trafficker on the face of the planet' as the war over GOP governors moving illegal immigrants to liberal cities and areas escalates. During an appearance on Fox’s Hannity Friday night, the GOP lawmaker said: 'The Democrats did not think it was a humanitarian crisis when we pulled over 50 bodies and body bags out of a truck in Texas of illegal immigrants who died because the smugglers let them die of heat exposure. ‘And yet suddenly, 50 illegal immigrants show up in lily white Martha's Vineyard, where rich liberals and billionaires sip Chardonnay. And it is World War III.'
Party-loving Mayor Eric Adams—who said this week that the city’s shelters are near a “breaking point” as they deal with incoming migrants—was spotted Thursday night at the highly exclusive, members-only jazz club at the newly opened Aman NY.

We’re told one of these people was his controversial pal, convicted money launderer Zhan “Johnny” Petrosyants. “Guess tonight there’s no migrant issue if he’s sitting at the fanciest new club,”
Whether President Joe Biden is doing enough to limit illegal immigration is a key issue raised by Republicans this midterm election cycle.
To draw attention to the topic, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew around 50 immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, on Sept. 14 — surprising local officials and making them scramble to accommodate the group.
DeSantis isn't the first Republican governor to send newly arriving migrants out of his state:
Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has bused more than 7,000 immigrants to Democratic-led cities like New York City, Washington, D.C., and Chicago. On Sep. 15, Abbott sent two buses of immigrants to Vice President Kamala Harris' residence in the nation's capital; and
Former President Donald Trump was supposed to be the death knell for the Republican Party and the Hispanic vote, helping to usher in the “emerging Democratic majority” forecasters had projected for decades.
Instead, Trump made modest inroads with Hispanics himself and may have presided over the demographic shifting from a reliably Democratic voting bloc to more of a swing vote.
If those trends hold through this year’s midterm elections, it could have lasting implications for the competitiveness of future races. In 2020, Trump won the highest share of the Hispanic vote of any Republican presidential nominee since George W. Bush in 2004.

Texas's Gov. Greg Abbott got the ball rolling with his decision to bus illegal immigrants to America's foremost sanctuary cities. And Florida's Gov. DeSantis has taken it to 11, by flying more of the migrants to America's foremost elite sanctuary cities, such as Martha's Vineyard.
For Democrats, it's not a one-day story, but an ongoing can of whoopass.

I’ve always detested people who make facile comparisons of anything that goes on in the U.S. to the manifold horrors of Nazi Germany. The freedoms and privileges we’ve enjoyed in this extraordinary nation made even the worst problems we’ve experienced pale in comparison to the brutality and death perpetrated by the Third Reich. To my mind, drawing parallels between them is a cheap, insulting, and wholly illegitimate way of gaining quick attention.

Is it “cruel” to send illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, as Press Secretary Karine Jeanne-Pierre says? Was it also cruel when the Biden administration sent illegals from the border to Red states?
What is the difference in the level of cruelty between liberals sending their illegals to red states and conservatives sending theirs to blue states and cities, or is it cruel only when conservatives do it? Liberals are on board for virtue-signaling diversity (and the crime) that comes of illegal immigration so long as it is NIMBY. Does cruelty accrue only when Democrats are hurt?
Food prices have increased every month of 2022, with each month since February breaking 40-year records, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
The price of food at home increased 13.5% year-over-year in August, the highest it’s been since May 1979, according to the BLS Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Since February, when the year-over-year cost of food at home increased by 8.6% — at the time the highest level since 1981 — grocery prices have increased every month, first breaking a 10% year-on-year increase in March, according to archived CPI reports by the BLS.

Well, now. As radical federal judges across America continue to undo conservative programs and initiatives, including much of the work of the Trump administration, the state of Montana has defied a court order on transgender birth certificates. Could this be a model for other conservative states? Maybe so.
The left is fond of its “Resist” slogan. It’s past time for conservatives to resist, as well — in earnest.
Just hours after a Montana judge blocked health officials from enforcing a state rule that would prevent transgender people from changing the gender on their birth certificate, as reported by AP, the Republican-run state on Thursday said it would defy the order.
“The documents were declassified!”
“Trump had every right keep them!”
“They posed no risk to national security!”
Conservatives have been defending Trump with these kinds of arguments ever since the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago last month. They’re missing the point, though. Seeking to prove that Trump did nothing wrong in possessing these documents is like trying to establish that the victims of Stalin’s show trials weren’t in fact Trotskyites. Well, of course they weren’t.
But Stalin didn’t care if his enemies – perceived or real – were Trotskyites or “counter-revolutionaries.” What mattered to him was that they were his enemies.
It really shouldn’t come as any surprise in a world in which men not only become women, but become the first female admirals and champion female swimmers, but it is just another step down the road of discarding our humanity altogether and becoming artificial beings of our own design, with consequences no one can foresee. Short men are now getting their legs artificially lengthened so that they magically grow several inches taller and get all the girls who didn’t look at them until they had to look up to them.

It’s actually kind of glorious to see, because this tactic only works to gin up their communist base while simultaneous waking people up to a genuine crisis at the border.
