TIAA closing Denver office, moving jobs
to headquarters in Texas

Financial services company TIAA is closing its Denver offices at a building that has become a prominent feature of the city skyline — with the financial giant’s logo emblazoned across the top. The company said this week that it will leave Denver in July 2026 and relocate to its new headquarters building in Frisco, Texas, according to an August 6 letter sent to employees. (Snip) The departure is another blow to Downtown Denver, an area of the city that has struggled to recover from the pandemic. Roughly one-third of the office space downtown is sitting empty as remote work becomes

House race, dealing surprise blow to Democrats nationally 12 replies
In what may be a surprise blow to Democrats' chances of holding a key red state seat in the U.S. House, Alaska Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom announced Friday she is suspending her campaign for Congress. Dahlstrom was in what was essentially a three-way race with incumbent Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola and Republican Nick Begich III, who comes from a prominent political family in The Last Frontier. (Snip) Though the two GOP candidates garnered more votes than Peltola, she was named the winner after the hierarchical rounds of ranked choice vote tallying concluded. Under the system, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated
A California baseball stadium featured in the Hollywood blockbuster “A League of Their Own” was destroyed by a fire late Thursday, officials said. The Jay Littleton Ballpark, in Ontario, California, went up in flames about 11:30 p.m. and is a “a total loss,” city spokesperson Dan Bell said. The cause of the fire is not known, but investigators are on scene, he said Friday, adding that the stadium’s grandstand was wooden and likely burned very quickly. Losing the ballpark, which was designated a historic landmark in the city in 2003 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in
US job growth during much of the past year was significantly weaker than initially estimated, according to new data released Wednesday. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ preliminary annual benchmark review of employment data suggests that there were 818,000 fewer jobs in March of this year than were initially reported. Every year, the BLS conducts a revision to the data from its monthly survey of businesses’ payrolls, then benchmarks the March employment level to those measured by the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program. The preliminary data marks the largest downward revision since 2009 and shows that the labor market
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Sunday people are “reading too much” into the specifics of the price-gouging plan from the Harris-Walz campaign amid backlash from pundits and Vice President Harris’s political opponents. “Well, I think people are reading too much into what has been put out there. We know that Kamala Harris is going to be focused on building up more affordable housing. We know that Kamala Harris has already delivered on making sure that health care is more accessible and affordable for Americans and will protect ObamaCare,” Whitmer, a co-chair of the Democrats’ campaign, said about criticism of the
A financial analyst I follow on Twitter/X, Robert Sterling, says everyone should calm down about Kamala’s grocery price controls idea. It’s actually worse than you think. Here’s his expectation from his Twitter column: People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America. I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here’s a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen: 1. The government announces that grocery retailers aren’t allowed to raise prices. 2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, can’t survive if
MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis could see a big tax hike as part of Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey's nearly $1.9 billion budget proposal. Frey unveiled the budget on Wednesday which includes two bumps to the tax levy: 8.1% in 2025 and another 9.8% in 2026. (Snip) Frey said tough decisions had to be made to get down to an 8% increase. Public works employees recently signed a new contract boosting their pay by nearly 30%, and the police department has a new deal increasing pay by about 20%. The mayor's proposed budget also includes more than $26 million in investments toward police and
Shepard Fairey, the artist behind Barack Obama’s iconic “Hope” poster, revealed a new print Thursday for Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential bid with her own all-new mantra: “Forward.” The artist-activist and Obey clothing founder famously made former President Obama’s “Hope” poster for his 2008 run for office, and he said Thursday that the “Forward” poster was made “purely in pursuit of a better future.” “‘We are not going back.’ These words from Kamala Harris summarize the moment we are in, and in order not to go back, we must go FORWARD,” he said. “While we have not achieved all
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has run out of disaster relief funding for the second year in a row before the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season has even arrived. The agency, which is funded by Congress, uses the disaster relief fund to aid state and local governments in preparing and recovering from natural disasters including earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires and hurricanes. The DRF also provides financial assistance for the Individuals and Households Program which helps eligible disaster survivors with funding for temporary housing and other disaster-related expenses. The United States has already faced 19 climate disasters this year with
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif defeated Chinese opponent Yang Liu in the 66kg gold medal bout at the Paris Summer Olympics on Friday. Khelif received a warm welcome from the crowd as she entered the ring at Roland Garros Stadium for her fourth bout of the Games. Algerian flags were seen waving all around the arena. In the first round, both fighters started off tentatively, but Khelif got the better of her southpaw opponent, taking the round in unanimous fashion. It was more of the same in the second round as a stiff punch from the Algerian sent Yang bouncing off
DETROIT — Stellantis is warning union workers that it could lay off as many as 2,450 of the 3,700 union workers employed at a truck plant just outside of Detroit. The job cuts would be at the Stellantis Warren Truck Plant, which builds an older version of the Ram 1500 pickup called the Tradesman, sold mainly to commercial businesses. The company came out with a new version of the truck in 2018, and for the 2025 model year there’s a new Tradesman. It’s likely that job cuts will be lower than that because of early retirement offers that are underway
A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Lamont, California, on Tuesday night and rumbled through a broad stretch of Southern California, including Los Angeles. The US Geological Survey reported the earthquake’s epicenter hit about 15 miles southwest of Lamont – and roughly 25 miles south of Bakersfield – around 9:09 p.m. PT. The survey earlier rated the earthquake a 5.3 magnitude but later downgraded it to 5.2. (Snip) “One of the myths is that the small earthquakes release energy and make a big earthquake less likely, and that is not true,” Jones said. “So I think it’s a good time to remind

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday that he was suspending his campaign - with a twist.
Kennedy pushed supporters who live in 10 swing states to back Republican nominee Donald Trump, but said his name would remain on the ballots on traditional red or blue states.
'I would like everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign, I am simply suspending it,' Kennedy said in Arizona on Friday. In long-winded remarks, Kennedy said he was withdrawing from the race in swing states because, 'I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues.'
Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey is emphatically urging Americans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election.
Friday morning — the morning after the finale of the Democrat’s convention, which ended with Harris delivering the 12th shortest acceptance speeches in modern history — Deep State figure James Comey let the country know that he was in his feels in the aftermath.
“Kamala Harris made me feel like it’s finally morning in America,” Comey said. “Everyone who cares about the rule of law and America’s indispensable role in the world should vote for Harris and Walz.”
“I will,” Comey vowed:
A woman who inherited $250,000 from her late grandmother has revealed how she quit her job, blew through the money and now lives in a rental home. Sarah Faith Jacobson, a 40-year-old corporate consultant in Texas, said after she received the large amount of money she had no idea what to do with it, and 'regrets' how she spent it. Her grandparents were successful Bay Area real-estate investors in the 1970s,
“PBS NewsHour" anchor Judy Woodruff apologized Wednesday for reporting a story about former President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that both leaders have staunchly denied. Woodruff posted an apology to X expressing regret for reporting this week that in a phone call, Trump urged Netanyahu to delay a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas until after the 2024 presidential election to benefit him politically.
"This was a mistake and I apologize for it," Woodruff wrote. She posted, "I want to clarify my remarks on the PBS News special on Monday night about the ongoing cease fire talks in the Middle East.
Country legends The Chicks were heavily panned for an awkwardly off-key performance of the National Anthem at the Democrat National Convention.
The Nashville natives, who created a firestorm of controversy 20 years ago over criticism of George W. Bush and the Iraq War, were a highly-anticipated get for the DNC on its final night.
However, their performance of the Star-Spangled Banner was almost universally slammed, even by fans of the band formerly known as 'The Dixie Chicks' before dropping the d-word in 2020.
With multiple reports confirming speculation that Vice President Kamala Harris will back President Biden’s tax hike plan, reactions have started pouring in from prominent figures in political and economic circles. "It would be devastating to the economy," former CKE Restaurants CEO Andy Puzder said Thursday on "The Evening Edit."
"You're going to give up revenue, you're going to lose companies. We're going to lose business," he continued.
"You need to understand, a 25% increase in unrealized capital gains means, theoretically at least, if your house goes up in price, in value, the government can step in and say: give me the money,”
Democrat Party operative David Axelrod took Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Donald Trump hard.
The former campaign and White House adviser to Barack Obama took to social media to air his grievances over the scion of the premier Democrat political family endorsing the Republican standard bearer.
“Robert F. Kennedy was my political hero,” Axelrod said. “He battled fiercely & eloquently against poverty, injustice and for economic fairness. Sadly RFK Jr, who made a rambling exit from the race today, proves that sometimes an apple DOES fall far from the tree…in this case, down a hill and over a cliff.” (X)

tax trial: lawyer 19 replies
Hunter Biden’s celebrity attorney lashed out that federal prosecutors are trying to “slime” the first son — by trying to introduce evidence that Hunter splurged on strippers and pornography at his upcoming tax trial in Los Angeles.
Mark Geragos argued during a hearing in a Los Angeles federal courtroom that special counsel David Weiss’s effort to introduce evidence of Hunter’s seedy spending while avoiding paying $1.4 million in taxes is nothing more than “character assassination” and shouldn’t be allowed.
“They want to slime him because that is the whole purpose,” Geragos told federal Judge Mark Scarsi.
“It’s actually a form of character assassination,"
Another attack on a music festival, this time in Germany. No one is using the T-word yet but some reports say this was a random attack using a knife. The attacker is still at large. This is a Google translated version of the story from Bild, the German news site which broke the news. They are reporting three people have died. Also a possible description which has not been confirmed by authorities:
At around 9.45 p.m. a man in Solingen randomly stabbed passers-by with a knife. The perpetrator, according to witnesses an Arab-looking man, is on the run.
According to initial information, there are three dead and four seriously injured. Dozens
Fans and viewers had a collective meltdown after pop star Beyoncé was a no-show at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) following multiple news reports that the Grammy-winner would perform on Thursday night. “F****** liars,” one fan reacted, accusing the convention and or news outlets of lying “to get people to watch.”
“Beyoncé Performing at DNC’s Final Night!!!” read a headline from TMZ, which reported that multiple sources with knowledge of the matter told the outlet that the “Beautiful Liar” singer would be “big surprise performer” as Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepts the Democrat Party nomination.
Another ‘coincidental’ Secret Service failure that led to the attempted assassination of President Trump.
The Secret Service never picked up radios that were set aside for them by local law Butler County law enforcement at Trump’s rally on July 13.
Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks was able to climb on top of a roof next to Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally and put Trump in his scope.
A bullet grazed President Trump’s ear during his Pennsylvania rally. One rallygoer was fatally struck in the head. Two other rally attendees were wounded, one critically.
Bodycam footage shows a Butler Township police officer flipping out after his warnings about Crooks on the roof over the radio went ignored.

Philanderer Doug Emhoff a ‘Progressive
Sex Symbol’ 17 replies
Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff is a “progressive sex symbol,” according to The Washington Post.
The Post has long had a reputation as one of the Democratic Party’s most influential media propagandists. Yet this latest headline on its website takes that impression to the next level.
According to opinion writer Catherine Rampell, Emhoff has earned the title of “progressive sexy symbol” because he is “secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
