Feds Charge MAGA Influencer Isabella DeLuca for TOUCHING A TABLE on Jan 6.

MAGA-world activist and influencer Isabella DeLuca was arrested on Friday in California. Court records unsealed on Monday revealed that she faces five charges for her involvement with the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol, including touching a table, as well as “demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.” The case reveals how thin the federal government’s case against protesters has become, with other charges including “disorderly conduct” and “remaining in restricted buildings.”

According to the FBI, DeLuca touched a table as it was being passed from office within the Capitol to rioters outside through a shattered window. The bureau alleges the table was later used to assault law enforcement officers.

The government provided the following evidence:

DeLuca has accumulated a significant social media following, as well as having served as an ambassador for Turning Point USA and as an intern for Congressmen Lee Zeldin of New York and Paul Gosar of Arizona.

Timothy Desjardins, another defendant who allegedly used a piece of the table to assault officers, was previously sentenced to 18 years on separate charges.

Far-Left Guardian Reels In $2M After Kamala Endorsement.

The left-wing Guardian newspaper, based in the United Kingdom, has turned usual U.S. political fundraising practices upside down. While candidates usually receive campaign contribution windfalls from newspaper endorsements or other high-profile inflection points, the Guardian is instead reaping financial rewards for backing Vice President Kamala Harris for the U.S. presidency. By doubling down on their endorsement of Kamala Harris, the newspaper was able to quickly raise an eye-popping $2 million from its readers.

A five-paragraph note sent to readers by U.S. editor Betsy Reed highlighted The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times‘s decisions not to endorse a presidential candidate in 2024. “Something these two papers have in common? They both have billionaire owners who could face retaliation in a Trump presidency,” Reed argues. She adds: “The Guardian is not billionaire-owned, nor do we have shareholders. We are supported by readers and owned by the Scott Trust, which guarantees our editorial independence in perpetuity.”

The newspaper’s U.S. editor goes on to emphasize that the Guardianunlike The Post or the LA Times—did, in fact, endorse Harris for president. She stressed: “Fearless journalism and an informed public are bedrocks of our democracy, and it is an abdication of our duty as journalists to sit out this election out of self-interest.”

While it is common for U.S. political candidates to raise money off high-profile media and celebrity endorsements, it is almost unheard of for a media outlet to raise money off their decision to endorse a candidate. However, the Guardian‘s success—generating $500,000 in three days and $2 million in a week—could change the landscape going forward.

Kamala Loses Front-Runner Status in New Hampshire.

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris can no longer count on winning in New Hampshire, as polls indicate the state is now in play ahead of next Tuesday’s election. RealClearPolitics has classified New Hampshire as a toss-up state, moving it from its previous “leans Democrat” status.

The latest New Hampshire Journal/Praecones Analytica poll shows a competitive race, with President Donald J. Trump holding a narrow lead of 50.2 percent to Harris‘ 49.8 percent.

The change in New Hampshire’s forecast implies that more than 100 Electoral College votes are now up for grabs. Although it only contributes four Electoral College votes, New Hampshire could emerge as a potential key player in determining the election.

In recent elections, New Hampshire has consistently voted Democrat. The state went for Joe Biden in 2020 by 7.2 points and more narrowly for Hillary Clinton in 2016. This trend might be tested in 2024 as the Trump campaign views the state as winnable. Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s campaign national press secretary, mentioned Harris is on the defensive in New Hampshire.

Before the latest New Hampshire Journal/Praecones Analytica data, Harris led every poll as the Democratic nominee.

Early voting suggests a very close race between Trump and Harris. So far, over 58 million early in-person and mail-in votes have been cast, 41 percent of which were registered Democrats and 40 percent of which were registered Republicans.

While more Republicans are voting early than in the past, the early voting patterns may not reflect the overall result, especially as many Republicans tend to vote on Election Day.

Some pollsters, however, predict that Trump may not only win but could win by a landslide with 300 Electoral College votes.

Far-Left Propagandists Peddle New Liz Cheney Firing Squad Hoax.

Kamala Harris supporters on social media have peddled a fresh hoax against President Donald Trump overnight, alleging that his comments lambasting failed Congresswoman Liz Cheney were tantamount to a call for her execution in front of an old-fashioned firing squad.

Trump, speaking alongside Tucker Carlson during an event in Arizona, alleged: “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Okay. Let’s see how she feels about it.”

Aaron Rupar – whose work inventing comments and context to aid left-wing politicians has earned him a mention in UrbanDictionary – posted the clip to his X account late Thursday:

Trump’s comments were self-evidently in reference to Cheney and her father, Dick Cheney, an architect of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and their obsession with sending Americans to die in wars overseas.

Nevertheless, key advocates of Vice President Kamala Harris seized on the remarks in an attempt to portray them as a call to violence against Liz Cheney.

 

Liz Cheney responded on social media: “This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death.”

President Trump has recently been the focus of several assassination attempts, one of which came within a hair’s breadth of killing him.

AOC Tried to Use Arabic on Her Election Flyers. It Turned Out to be Gibberish.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is facing criticism over a campaign mailer featuring a nonsensical Arabic translation of election information, including the last day voters can cast their ballot. The campaign leaflet features Arabic script in which the characters appear in reverse order and are disconnected, deviating from standard Arabic script requirements.

The mistake drew attention after Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, a journalist, criticized the gaffe on X (formerly Twitter). He remarked that the disorganized script was emblematic of Ocasio-Cortez’s disconnect with Arab voters.

The incorrect Arabic also drew comments from Meir Javedanfar, an Iranian studies professor at Reichman University. He equated the flyer mishap with Ocasio-Cortez’s understanding of Middle Eastern affairs, labeling it “gibberish.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign did not appear to have caught the error until Shihab-Eldin and others noted the mistake. The New York Democratic Party lawmaker had posted images of the mailer on social media but quickly deleted them after criticism began to roll in. As part of her campaign, Ocasio-Cortez has been vocal about reducing military aid to Israel, accusing the Jewish state of committing acts of genocide against Palestinians.

The social media post accompanying the campaign material pointed out efforts to mobilize New Yorkers in five languages, advancing support for Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), and Ocasio-Cortez herself. According to the Democrat, her campaign has sent mailers in 800 languages, including English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, French Creole, and Bengali. It is unclear how many suffer from translation and grammatical issues which render them unintelligible.

U.S. Non-Profits Investigated Over Terror Ties.

The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee is pushing state attorneys general to begin investigations into at least six tax-exempt organizations potentially linked to foreign terrorist activities. In a series of letters released earlier this week, Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) notified officials in the states of Washington, New York, Virginia, Arizona, California, and Texas that certain organizations may be operating beyond their tax-exempt mandates, promoting antisemitism, and engaging in unlawful activities.

Chairman Smith notes that these non-profits all appear to be “operating outside their tax-exempt purpose, fueling antisemitic activities, and potentially engaging in activity that violates both state and federal law,” adding the grounds to revoke their tax-exempt status.

Among the organizations singled out is The Palestine Chronicle, a nonprofit media company in Washington State, accused of employing a Hamas operative. The operative was reportedly involved in holding Israeli hostages, leading to his death during a subsequent rescue operation.

In addition to Washington, New York’s Attorney General Letitia James (D) has been asked to look into the Westchester People’s Action Coalition and The People’s Forum. These groups stand accused of promoting antisemitism by allegedly supporting riots. Virginia’s Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) has similarly been prompted to investigate the Americans for Justice in Palestine Educational Foundation and American Muslims for Palestine for also potentially inciting riots.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) received a request to pursue the Alliance for Global Justice, citing ties with Samidoun, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. Letters sent to California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) also outlined suspicions regarding other nonprofits—including the Tides Foundation—and their possible illegal affiliations with terrorist groups.

Rep. Gaetz Wants to Strip Tax-Free Status from Far-Left ‘NGOs.’

Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is introducing legislation stripping Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax-exempt status from nonprofit and non-government organizations assisting migrants who cross the U.S. border illegally. The “Helping Americans by Restricting Resources to Immigrant Services Act” (HARRIS Act) specifically categorizes any organization “substantially” providing or paying for goods and services for illegal immigrants as having aided and abetted the criminal act of illegally crossing into the U.S.

“NGOs and nonprofits that enable the Biden-Harris administration’s mass-migration policies—by focusing primarily on providing assistance to those who have broken federal immigration law—should not be receiving tax breaks,” Rep. Gaetz said in an interview. “My legislation, the HARRIS Act, will strip tax-exempt status from organizations aiding and abetting the U.S. border invasion,” he added.

Gaetz’s legislation already has several cosponsors, including Reps. Randy Weber (R-TX), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), and Andy Biggs (R-AZ).

The issue of nonprofit and non-governmental organizations aiding illegal immigration along the U.S. southern border and in major American cities has flown under the radar in the corporate media and among most government watchdogs. However, The National Pulse reported in September this year that the Biden-Harris government has poured nearly $400 million taxpayer dollars into so-called migrant aid groups, which—in reality—serve to only further incentivize and promote illegal immigration into the country. The funding for these groups is often funneled through channels like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Shelter and Services Program (SSP).

“If nonprofits want special treatment under our tax-code, they should focus on doing genuine charity for genuine Americans, not illegal aliens,” Gaetz said regarding his bill.

Don Jr. Warns Britain’s Far-Left Govt Is Damaging UK-U.S. Relationship: ‘They Should Be Ashamed.’

Former President Donald J. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., has warned Britain’s governing Labour Party is damaging the British-American special relationship by intervening in the U.S. election on behalf of Kamala Harris. He also had harsh words for the British state’s turn towards authoritarianism, calling it “disgusting.”

Asked by the British media whether Labour Party staffers traveling to the U.S. to campaign for Harris would “damage the special relationship,” Don Jr. said it was “certainly not a great start, because it’s clear what they’re doing.”

Speaking on the state of the United Kingdom more generally, he added: “It’s absolute lunacy what I see going on in the UK right now… They’re jailing people for misgendering someone; honestly, it’s disgusting, and they should be ashamed of themselves.”

Britain lacks robust, First Amendment-style free speech protections, with citizens being liable for arrest and even imprisonment for causing offense. Last year, an autistic minor was arrested for a “homophobic public order offense” after saying a policewoman with short hair reminded her of her “lesbian nana.”

In recent months, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) launched a threatening campaign warning social media users to “Think before you post,” saying action would be taken against so-called “online violence” and content spreading “hatred.”

Joe Rogan Warned Tony Hinchcliffe His Puerto Rico Joke Would Get Him Stabbed.

Joe Rogan has revealed he previously warned Tony Hinchcliffe, host of the popular Kill Tony comedy show, against a joke about Puerto Rico, which he delivered during an appearance at former President Donald J. Trump’s massive rally in Madison Square Garden, New York City. “That joke kills at comedy clubs. I don’t like the joke, but it kills, and I said to him, it’s just like, if you’re Puerto Rican and you hear that in the audience, you’re like, [groans], but it’s a funny joke, the joke does well,” he said on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. “But I said to him, I go, dude, that’s the one that’s going to get you stabbed.”

Hinchcliffe, an insult comic who states in his defense that he makes fun of everyone, said on stage that there is “literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now,” referencing the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, before joking, “I think it’s called Puerto Rico.” The U.S. territory is known to have longstanding landfill issues.

“I tell all comedians, don’t ever do comedy at something that’s not a comedy event. Don’t do it… It’s a terrible setup,” said Rogan, who regularly hosts Kill Tony at his Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas.

However, he praised Hinchcliffe as “the best roaster ever” and predicted the controversy would “blow over just like all these things do.”

Polls indicate that, despite the media frenzy around the joke, it has failed to move voters. Subsequently, Shadow Senator for Puerto Rico Zoraida Buxó has endorsed Trump, and Joe Biden has turned the narrative back against the Democrats by saying it is the millions of Americans who support Trump who are “garbage.”

ICYMI: Top Kamala Surrogate: ‘F**k White Women.’

Cora Masters Barry—the widow of the late Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Barry—slammed Democrats for being overly focused on white women voters. During a Zoom call with Rolling Out CEO Munson Steed, she emphatically insisted: “F**k white women.” The recently resurfaced remarks came in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election and were followed by a racist diatribe by the black feminist and activist who has met with Kamala Harris and other White House officials dozens of times.

‘F**K WHITE WOMEN.’

“We have to change our strategy… got to get our people. We have to get our—they got their people. They got all the trailer parks all covered. All them people up in West Virginia and the hills, they’re covered. They got them all the way there to Wall Street,” Barry said on the call, complaining that Democrats were pandering to white female voters at the expense of black women.

She continued: “[Trump] did that, and we’re sitting here talking about the white women. F**k the white women—excuse me—forget the white women. They’re going to do what the white men tell them to do.”


Barry is an outspoken supporter of Vice President Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee. She also serves as a commissioner on Washington, D.C.’s Commission on the Arts and the Humanities.

“They be smiling in their faces, they want to stay in charge,” Barry’s racist diatribe continued. She added: “I don’t care nothing about them, we got to do what we got to do.”

PLANNING FOR KAMALA 2024?

During the same appearance with Steed, Barry and fellow activist Melanie Campbell appeared to back a Harris presidential run—stating the next president needed to be a black woman. “And that’s not going to happen if we don’t reach all of our black people, because they’re the ones who are going to put her in there,” Barry said. “Those white folks ain’t going to put her in there.”

In 2022, during a memorial event for her late husband, Barry heaped praise on infamous anti-white racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. “Minister Farrakhan, we love you more than you love us. You just don’t know it,” she said.

WaPo Takes Out Anti-Trump Ads Amid Subscriber Exodus.

The Washington Post has intensified its negative coverage of former President Donald J. Trump after digital subscribers canceled memberships en masse to protest its decision not to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. On Monday, The Post significantly increased its expenditures on digital advertising, boosting numerous articles attacking Trump on platforms such as Facebook.

The move comes after WaPo owner Jeff Bezos spiked a planned endorsement of Harris by the newspaper’s editorial board. The Amazon founder penned an editorial explaining the decision, noting that the public no longer trusts the corporate media and that steps must taken to to correct this if the newspaper is to avoid fading into “irrelevance.”

However, the partisan digital subscriber base The Post has courted were not pleased with the decision, with around a tenth of them canceling their subscriptions in protests. Numerous editorial board members and contributors also resigned, including Robert Kagan, husband of warmongering former Biden-Harris official Victoria Nuland.

Boosting anti-Trump articles online is likely an attempt to convince leftist news consumers that The Post will still be pushing an anti-Trump narrative, even if it refrains from openly endorsing his political rivals.

When explaining his decision, Bezos noted that newspaper endorsements “do nothing to tip the scales of an election,” hinting that aping a more neutral stance may leave The Post better placed to influence public opinion.
