Hundreds of Ex-National Security Officials Endorse Trump.

Over 200 former officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have publicly endorsed Donald Trump as their preferred candidate for the presidency in an open letter. These officials, including former Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott and former U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) chief Tom Homan, argue that policies under the Biden-Harris government have dismantled border security, leading to increased crime both at the U.S.-Mexico border and nationwide.

“President Trump respected the experience of career border security professionals and listened to our advice. When border security experts explained to President Trump how illegal immigration empowers the cartels to control who and what enters our home, he listened and acted,” the letter reads. “The borders of the US were never more secure than they were during the Trump administration.”

The Biden-Harris government, on the other hand, “chose to ignore the career border security experts and instead, under VP Harris’s watch, idealist political appointees with zero border security experience were empowered to implement disastrous and deadly border security policy for the United States.”

“The devastating results have handed complete control of our border to the cartels, provided them with astronomical record profits, ballooned legal immigration backlogs, and have left millions of illegal aliens in the country,” the letter adds.

Upon assuming office, the Biden-Harris government initiated 296 executive actions related to immigration, with a considerable number overturning Trump’s policies. Notably, it reversed Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy and halted border wall construction. Consequently, fiscal year 2024 recorded the second-highest number of illegal entries on record, surpassed only by the previous year.

The Border Patrol union has also endorsed Trump.

CNN Exec Says Biden Should Stand By His ‘Garbage’ Insult.

Mark Preston, a senior political analyst and vice president for political and special events programming at CNN, is pushing President Joe Biden to double down on his comments referring to supporters of President Donald J. Trump as “garbage.” Appearing early Wednesday morning on the network—which continues to struggle to retain viewership and raise revenue—Preston insisted Democrats should embrace Biden’s attack as it makes them look “strong.”

“I’m of the mindset that if you say it, you might as well just embrace it, and I do think that that’s a problem for Democrats,” Preston says, adding: “I do think if he said, listen, yeah, I do mean all those racist supporters of Donald Trump, yeah, I do think that they’re terrible. I think that people would look at the Democratic Party a little bit different.”

The CNN executive continues: “I do think that the Democratic Party, in general, doesn’t look like they are strong enough, and they will always back off of things. And I think that when Joe Biden backs off of saying what he really believes, I don’t think that’s a good look.”


Biden referred to supporters of the former Republican president as “garbage” Tuesday night during a live stream conversation with the far-left open borders group, Voto Latino. The comments drew immediate condemnation from President Trump and the 2024 vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH).

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) actually interrupted Trump during a rally last night in Pennsylvania to break the news of Biden’s remark to the Republican candidate and his thousands of supporters in attendance.

CNN has struggled to maintain viewership and revenue growth in recent years. The National Pulse reported in May that the corporate news outlet’s prime-time ratings had hit their lowest in 30 years. Meanwhile, CNN has also been forced to abandon its digital opinion section and will introduce a paywall in the hopes of reversing the network’s failing financial situation.

Non-Citizens Have Been Voting in California Since 2004.

A report by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has exposed longstanding issues in voter registration practices in Alameda County, California, where noncitizens have been systematically registered to vote for at least two decades. This has occurred due to a lack of verification or disregard of immigration status by election officials, according to PILF’s findings.

Foreign nationals have reportedly been allowed to register and vote even after admitting their noncitizen status during interviews. The problem in Alameda County, described as business as usual for at least two decades, first came to light with evidence of an illegal immigrant being registered in 2004. PILF’s research identified 54 instances where noncitizens were improperly allowed to vote. The foundation has called on states to implement robust safeguards to prevent such occurrences.

In February 2024, PILF initiated legal action against Alameda County to obtain records of noncitizens being approved for voter registration and remaining on voter rolls, even when their ineligibility was later discovered. After pursuing the lawsuit, the foundation received documents that detailed over 60 voter registration files. These records revealed two critical issues: noncitizens openly admitted their status on registration forms, and they often remained on voter rolls until they sought naturalization and requested removal.

SHODDY VETTING.

PILF criticized the county for its failure to verify citizenship, relying instead on self-reported information from registrants. “The disclosed documents illustrate how foreign nationals are transparent or reticent about their ineligibility, yet still become registered voters,” stated PILF President J. Christian Adams. Adams also remarked on California‘s potential to improve citizenship verification if state leadership demonstrated willingness.

A federal investigation in North Carolina found similar evidence of noncitizens being registered to vote—with a number of them casting ballots.

Research indicates that noncitizen voting favors Democrats and has happened at a large enough scale to change election outcomes.

Harris Camp Tries to Manipulate Algorithms on X, Reddit.

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s 2024 presidential campaign is being accused of manipulating X (formerly Twitter) and other digital platforms in a coordinated effort to spread pro-Democratic Party propaganda, often violating the platforms’ terms of service. The Harris campaign allegedly operates a Discord server where volunteers are directed to use their social media accounts to manufacture a false consensus by making pro-Harris commentary appear more widespread than it naturally is.

The campaign’s efforts reportedly include manipulating algorithms on sites like Reddit and X. According to individuals within the campaign’s Discord server, directives block undesirable Community Notes on X, which serve as crowdsourced fact checks for misleading content. Opponents of President Donald J. Trump made a similar effort during the 2024 Republican primary.

Some Harris campaign accounts have been flagged by social media users for spreading disinformation, but their posts have surprisingly few Community Notes appended to them, possibly because campaign volunteers downvote the annotations.

The Discord server is reported to host a module on increasing users’ Community Notes ratings, positioning them to influence the platform’s content curation system more effectively. Discord channels also contain content that undermines Republican narratives through misleading community notes.

Technology and space exploration mogul Elon Musk—who owns X—says the allegations of platform and Community Notes manipulation by the Harris campaign are being being investigated by his team.

White House Caught Stealth Editing Transcript of Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Remarks.

The White House communications team is facing increasing scrutiny for editing an official transcript to make it appear President Joe Biden did not use the term “garbage” to describe supporters of President Donald J. Trump. Notably, Representatives James Comer (R-KY) and Elise Stefanik (R-NY) believe the White House may have violated the Presidential Records Act in editing the transcript—potentially a federal crime.

Late Tuesday evening, the 81-year-old Democrat referred to Trump supporters as “garbage” during a Kamala Harris campaign web call with the far-left Voto Latino group. The remarks were promptly aired on CNN, drawing almost immediate backlash and a confused response from the White House—including what appears to be two different transcripts.

The controversy centers on an apostrophe the White House communications team added to “supporters” in Biden’s remarks. The simple grammatical marking changes the entire context of what Biden clearly said in the video. In the video, Biden clearly states: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His, his, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.”

In the immediate aftermath of the scandal, the White House communications staff refused to go on the record about whether they spoke with Biden after the remarks or how they knew what he intended to say, sowing further confusion.

Across social media, the reaction from Republican strategists and Trump supporters was swift. Consultant and GOP strategist Matt Whitlock accused the administration of “flat-out lying” in the altered transcript.

Additionally, Reps. Comer and Stefanik’s letter to White House Counsel Edward Siskel notes he should “retain and preserve all documents and internal communications related to President Biden’s statement and the release of the inaccurate transcript.”

Illegal Vote Cast by Chinese National *WILL* Count in 2024 Election?!

A Chinese national is facing charges in Michigan after illegally casting a ballot in the 2024 election. The University of Michigan student—who is not a U.S. citizen and therefore cannot legally participate in the federal election—will have their illegal vote counted, however, as there is no mechanism in place to retrieve the ballot after it has been tabulated.

The Michigan Secretary of State’s office made the criminal charges public on Wednesday. They come amid heightened concerns regarding the illegal participation of noncitizens in the American election. According to the state’s top election official, the 19-year-old Chinse national has been referred to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s office.

The student illegally registered to vote on Sunday, signing a government form identifying himself as an American citizen. Subsequently, the Chinese national was given a ballot which they filled out and entered into the vote tabulator. Election officials admit that the illegal vote will likely count in the 2024 election as the tabulator system is meant to keep ballots anonymous, so there is no method to track back the student’s ballot and remove it from the final vote tally.

“We’re grateful for the swift action of the clerk in this case, who took the appropriate steps and referred the case to law enforcement,” a joint statement by the Michigan Secretary of State and Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s offices reads. They add: “We are also grateful to law enforcement for swiftly and thoroughly investigating this case. Anyone who attempts to vote illegally faces significant consequences, including but not limited to arrest and prosecution.”

Earlier in the day, the United States Supreme Court issued a stay, blocking a lower court ruling that sided with a Biden-Harris government lawsuit seeking to block Virginia from continuing to remove self-identified noncitizens from their voter rolls.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Told Americans: ‘Screw Your Freedom.’ So Of Course He’s Backing Kamala.

Actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race, complaining that former President Donald J. Trump will “divide,” “insult,” and be “un-American” if he is reelected.

Schwarzenegger, an Austrian immigrant whose father was a Nazi veteran, railed, “To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is [sic] a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious”—misrepresenting Trump’s warning that the Democrats have made America “like a garbage can for the world” by turning a blind eye to illegal immigration.

“I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” he said, insisting, “We need to close the door on this chapter of American history.”

Schwarzenegger won California’s governorship as a Republican in 2003, despite being accused of groping by six women. He denied the charges at the time but finally admitted to it last year.

After Trump embarked on his first presidential run, Schwarzenegger took over as frontman for The Apprentice, but failed to achieve his predecessor’s ratings. Trump has ribbed Schwarzenegger frequently over this failure, after the neoliberal actor turned on the populist businessman during his first Republican primary.

After Trump’s election, Schwarzenegger, 77, grew increasingly erratic, exploding “Screw your freedom!” at Americans who did not want to mask or take Covid vaccinations in 2021.

Is Kamala Pulling Out of North Carolina?

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s campaign is scaling back its advertising expenditures in North Carolina, pulling a substantial portion of its budget just days before the election. This decision is prompted by polling shifts favoring President Donald J. Trump and Republican gains in early voting numbers.

Advertising analysis firm AdImpact reports that the Harris campaign has withdrawn at least $2 million from an initial $2.7 million spend in North Carolina markets, with Raleigh being the only market retaining her campaign ads. Polls suggest Harris maintains a lead over Trump only in this region.

There is speculation that the Harris campaign could be redeploying their North Carolina resources to neighboring Virginia, where voter surveys indicate the race is tightening. Additionally, a Virginia shift may indicate that Harris is now fighting a rearguard action—hoping to hold the Rust Belt and several “lean” Democrat states that they believe may be slipping towards Trump as the Republican nominee continues to build momentum into Election Day.

Both Harris and Trump are set to hold campaign events in North Carolina before November 5. An Elon University poll recently found both candidates tied at 46 percent among registered voters, while another poll showed Trump with a slight lead. The RealClear Polling average places Trump ahead by one point in North Carolina, outpacing in most battleground states except Michigan.

Republicans are also showing a lead over Democrats in the early voting statistics, with 1,059,258 votes to the Democrats’ 1,024,661. Trump had a narrow victory margin in North Carolina, winning by about 75,000 votes in 2020.

In Virginia, Harris maintains a lead over Trump, although a Rasmussen Reports poll indicates a tight margin of just two points.

Here Are The Democrat-Run Newspapers Refusing to Endorse Kamala.

Several prominent newspapers have declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 presidential election despite supporting Joe Biden against President Donald J. Trump in the previous election. While the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post have received the most attention, both newspapers have been joined by numerous others in recent days, including USA Today.

The Los Angeles Times refrained from backing Harris after owner Patrick Soon-Shiong blocked a planned endorsement. The editorial board had been preparing a statement in support of Harris, with the decision not to by ownership prompting resignations.

The Washington Post has decided to discontinue endorsements for presidential candidates indefinitely. Publisher William Lewis emphasized a return to The Post’s roots, as it did not begin endorsing candidates until the 1970s. Owner Jeff Bezos—who, like Soon-Shiong, blocked a planned endorsement by the editorial board—penned an editorial on the subject warning the public no longer trust the press and that steps must be taken to stop The Post from fading into “irrelevance.” His newspaper also saw a wave of resignations and canceled subscriptions.

USA Today offered an unprecedented endorsement to Biden in 2020 but has similarly refrained from backing any candidate this year, seeking to restore an appearance of neutrality. This reflects a larger trend within over 200 outlets in the USA Today Network opting out of endorsements for presidential or national races.

Regionally, the Sun Sentinel and the Minnesota Star Tribune, both former Biden endorsers, have also opted out this cycle. The Tampa Bay Times is going even further, declining to endorse in either the presidential race or the Senate.

Trump Invites Muslim Man Ejected from Harris Rally to Star in Ad.

Over the weekend, the campaign of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris expelled a Muslim man from a rally in Michigan, prompting the campaign of Donald J. Trump to offer him a place in a new campaign ad. Ahmed Ghanim, a Democrat and former congressional candidate, was contacted by Donald Trump’s campaign about appearing in an advertisement shortly after being ejected from a Harris rally in Michigan without explanation.

Ghanim, who had challenged a pro-Israel member of Congress earlier this year, declined the offer but has been deeply critical of the Harris campaign. He criticized Harris’s campaign for inadequate engagement with Arab and Muslim voters, noting the potential benefit for Trump.

Ghanim had been present at the rally to observe, not protest, but was escorted out by security after being directed to leave. His subsequent social media post, “No Muslims allowed at the Harris Rally in Michigan,” drew considerable attention.

Ghanim recognized the strategic timing of Trump’s outreach to him, suggesting it might influence some Muslim voters.

In September, the mayor of Hamtramck, a city in Michigan with a Muslim-majority population, stated his support for Trump. Mayor Amer Ghalib called Trump a man of principles and expressed confidence in his leadership.

Earlier this month, a group of Michigan Muslim leaders also backed Trump. Imam Belal Alzuhairi stated that Trump could stop bloodshed from occurring across the globe.
