An Oregon Democrat running for Congress in a swing district sponsored legislation that sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to a program that discriminates against U.S. citizens and offers down payment assistance to illegal immigrants. In 2022, State Rep. Janelle Bynum co-sponsored Senate Bill 1579, which implemented an Economic Equity Investment Program “to award grants to qualified organizations that provide culturally responsive services to disadvantaged individuals.” One grant recipient was the Hacienda Community Development Corp., which offers $30,000 in down payment assistance in Oregon “only for people who are not American citizens,” The Daily Caller reported last month. The bill allocated a $692,775 grant to Hacienda, the New York Post reported. Bynum says she “knows how to fight for all Oregon families,” and her campaign website lists “addressing housing affordability” at the top of her platform. “Too many Oregonians are priced out of their communities or unable to afford a home. That’s why in the state legislature, I worked on efforts to lower the cost of housing, protect tenants, and ensure low-income earners could pay their utility bills,” Bynum says. “I’ll continue to fight for housing affordability and remove red tape for housing construction in Congress.” The Democrat’s policy page also focuses on addressing homelessness, “taking climate action,” and “lowering the cost of health care.” Bynum does not address the border crisis or illegal immigration on her campaign website. Her office has not responded to a Daily Wire request to comment on her support for SB 1579 and Hacienda’s down payment assistance for illegal immigrants. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

Chavez-DeRemer blasted Bynum over her support for SB 1579 in a statement to The Daily Wire. “Last year, Oregon had the second-highest percentage of unsheltered homeless in the nation, with more unaccompanied homeless youth than any other state,” Chavez-DeRemer wrote. “While I’ve been working toward commonsense solutions to improve housing access and affordability for our citizens, my opponent was busy pushing legislation that would only help noncitizens.” “Doling out taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants will only worsen the problem by taking away opportunities for hardworking Oregon families, limiting the current housing supply, and driving prices even higher,” the Republican added. More than 180,000 illegal immigrants reside in Oregon, according to a 2023 study published by the Federation for American Immigration Reform. The illegal immigration crisis cost Oregon taxpayers $1.47 billion last year. “While Oregon families struggle to afford a roof over their heads, Janelle Bynum is giving illegal immigrants massive taxpayer checks to buy houses. Bynum has made her extreme agenda crystal clear — criminals and illegal immigrants first, law-abiding American citizens last.” National Republican Congressional Committee Spokesman Ben Petersen told The Daily Wire. Republicans currently hold a nine-seat majority in the House. Oregon has multiple House races that could be close in the 2024 election. Chavez-DeRemer flipped the 5th District from Democrat to Republican in the 2022 election. Bynum narrowly defeated Chavez-DeRemer in the 2016 and 2018 races for the Oregon House of Representatives.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough claimed on Wednesday that anyone who truly believed in “American capitalism” should be worried that former President Donald Trump would bring about an “imperial presidency” if re-elected in November. Scarborough, a former Republican, briefly leaned into his conservative background and claimed that Trump posed a greater risk to the concept of “smaller government” — and therefore a greater risk to the free market and capitalism — than his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. WATCH: MSNBC’s @JoeNBC: “If you are a capitalist, if you believe in American capitalism,” you must support @KamalaHarris pic.twitter.com/fqKK7R7GgJ — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) September 4, 2024 “This argument that was made yesterday by an economic reporter: ‘Don’t worry about the insurrection, worry instead about tax code,’ and I think regulations,” Scarborough began. “Really that underlines about that I’ve made on this show before and I’m going to make again. If you are a capitalist, if you believe in American capitalism, as I believe in American capitalism, unapologetically believe in American capitalism. It has lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system ever. It has its problems, the sharp edges always need to be rounded off where it doesn’t get in the way of competition and the free markets. But if you believe in American capitalism, you should be worried about Donald Trump being elected.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Scarborough went on to explain that he believed in smaller government and argued that Trump — who spent much of his first term in the Oval Office cutting regulations and reducing government power over individuals — would necessarily bring about a more oppressive “imperial presidency” if he were to be elected again. “That’s what you get in corrupt nations,” Scarborough continued. “Where you have a strong man who picks winners and losers. That’s when competition, that’s when the free market, that’s when the invisible hand is slapped by the autocrat running the state. And that’s when capitalism loses.” Scarborough made no comment about Democrat pushes to ban gas stoves or mandate the shift to electric vehicles but simply repeated that Trump would seize control of everything.

Five-time Grammy Award winner Elton John revealed that he lost partial vision in one of his eyes after getting an infection. The 77-year-old singer provided fans with an update on Instagram. “Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,” John wrote. “I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye,” he continued. “I am so grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks.” “I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery so far,” the post concluded.    View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Elton John (@eltonjohn) Last summer, the recording artist was hospitalized after falling at his villa in Nice, France, as The Daily Wire previously reported. He was spending time there after concluding his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour. “I’ve had the most wonderful career, beyond belief. Fifty-two years of pure joy playing music. How lucky am I to play music?” the singer said at the conclusion of his last show in Stockholm, Sweden, in July 2023.  “But, ya know, I wouldn’t be sitting here and talking to you if it wasn’t for you. You bought the singles, the albums, the CDs, the cassettes, but more importantly, you bought the tickets to the shows, and you know how I love to play live.” John played “Your Song” and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” at the end of his final show.  He told Entertainment Weekly he was still “trying to process” that he was no longer touring after more than five decades.  “I don’t think it will sink in for a while yet that I’ve finally finished touring,” John said at the time. “I can’t tell you how much I’m going to miss the fans and how much their support has humbled me — it will stay with me forever.”

NFL star Travis Kelce’s rep denied that he and Taylor Swift were staging a public breakup as a PR stunt after documents started making the rounds online. The Daily Mail published photos of papers which appeared to come from Kelce’s agency, Full Scope PR. Documents said the breakup announcement was being planned for September 28. The photos showed example statements the couple could make. “Example: Travis and Taylor have decided to part ways after careful consideration. They both value and respect each other’s personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time,” one suggestion says. “They are both committed to their careers and personal growth. They remain friends and wish each other the best.” The paperwork assured the statement would be “gracious, respectful and stress mutual respect.” It further said a press release would go out to all major media organizations, pitching Kelce as being focused on “personal growth” and concerned with advancing his career in sports.  But Kelce’s rep said the breakup plan document was “entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued or authorized by this agency,” per Newsweek. Kelce, who plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, took his relationship with mega-selling pop star Swift public in September 2023 when she was spotted at one of his games. The pair have had a high-profile relationship over the past year as he attended several of her Eras Tour concerts and she supported him through the entirety of the last football season. Fans have been speculating for months if they’ll take their relationship to the next level, with Page Six reporting rumors that the “engagement is happening soon.” Kelce’s rep denied that story, too. There was also talk that the “wife of a top Chiefs exec” was “telling pals in a suite” that the couple was already secretly engaged.  Kelce’s mom, Donna, gave her opinion on the situation when asked by a reporter from CNN. “It’s totally up to them, them being happy, we don’t know anything for right now,” she said of a potential engagement at the end of last season. “That’s all you want for your children is happiness, nothing else matters.”
