Ballot Drop Boxes Set on Fire.

At least two allegedly secure ballot drop boxes have been set on fire in Oregon and Washington State—destroying an unknown number of ballots contained inside. The most recent incident, in Clark County, Washington, saw a ballot drop box billowing smoke as numerous ballots burned in the early morning hours on Monday.

Concerningly, Clark County sits in the hotly contested 3rd Congressional District, currently held by Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA). However, President Donald J. Trump won the district during the 2020 presidential election. The race is currently a toss-up between Gluesenkamp Perez and her Republican challenger, Joe Kent, a United States Army Special Forces veteran.

“This morning at about 4:00 AM, Vancouver Police responded to an arson at a ballot box located at 3510 SE 164th Ave. It was reported that the ballot box was smoking and on fire,” local police confirmed in a statement. They added: “Officers arrived and located a suspicious device next to the box. The ballot box was smoking and was on fire. Members of the Metro Explosive Disposal Unit (MEDU) arrived and safely collected the device, and the fire was extinguished.”


The preliminary report reveals that an incendiary device appears to have set the fire. At the moment, no suspect or motivation for the fire has been identified. According to the Clark County elections auditor, hundreds of ballots were in the drop box at the time of the fire, as the last pickup occurred at 11 AM on Saturday.

With many states expanding their early and mail-in voting timelines, election officials have insisted that ballot drop boxes are safe, secure, and adequately monitored. However, the two fires in Vancouver, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, undermine this assertion.

Network News Tips Scales for Kamala, Watchdog Says.

Major corporate media networks are attempting to interfere more heavily in the 2024 presidential election than in past races. According to data from the Media Research Center (MRC), broadcast news coverage of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris‘s respect campaigns has been almost entirely favorable for the latter and negative for the former.

“Since July, ABC, CBS, and NBC have treated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris to 78 percent positive coverage, while these same networks have pummeled former Republican President Donald Trump with 85 percent negative coverage,” MRC says regarding their findings. The group notes their analysis is based on “explicitly evaluative statements about each candidate from either reporters, anchors or non-partisan sources such as experts or voters.”

The media watchdog group adds: “The difference in coverage between the two candidates is far greater than in 2016 when both Trump and then-challenger Hillary Clinton received mostly negative coverage (91 percent negative for Trump, vs. 79 percent negative for Clinton). It’s even greater than in 2020, when Joe Biden was treated to 66 percent positive coverage, vs. 92 percent negative for Trump.”

MRC’s analysis shows that since July, news coverage—mainly from ABC, NBC, and CBS—has included 230 minutes of negative stories about Trump and various allegations made against the former Republican president. Conversely, the networks have provided only minimal coverage of any controversies regarding Harris.

In fact, MRC found that 31 percent of network news airtime has been focused on negative stories regarding personal controversies. Meanwhile, just five percent of airtime was dedicated to similar topics regarding Harris.

The two most covered issues regarding Trump were the January 6 Capitol riots and allegations leveled by Harris—and other top Democrats—accusing Trump of being a “fascist” and “a danger to democracy.”

More WaPo Staffers Walk Out After Kamala Endorsement Fail.

Two members of The Washington Post‘s editorial board are set to resign following its decision not to endorse Kamala Harris in the presidential race. Molly Roberts, an eight-year veteran of the newspaper, quit on Monday, and fellow board member David Hoffman is said to be following suit.

The Post has not declined to endorse in a presidential race since 1988. Publisher Will Lewis has framed the move as “returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates”—it did not begin doing so until 1976—but it has since emerged that the editorial board had prepared an endorsement for Harris, but owner Jeff Bezos personally spiked it.

Roberts and Hoffman follow Michele Norris, who resigned Sunday, calling the endorsement decision “a terrible mistake and an insult” to the paper’s principles.

Editor-at-large Robert Kagan resigned on Friday. Notably, Kagan is the husband of former Biden-Harris Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, who has fomented conflict in Ukraine for many years.

The Los Angeles Times is also declining to endorse this year, sparking a similar exodus of pro-Harris journalists.

REPORT: Tim Walz Had Steamy Fling With Chinese Communist Official’s Daughter.

Tim Walz, the vice-presidential candidate alongside Kamala Harris, faces claims of a secret relationship with a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official’s daughter during his teaching tenure in China in 1989. Jenna Wang, the woman involved, has publicly disclosed details of their relationship, which she says took place while she was a teacher at a school near where Walz taught under a nonprofit program.

Wang, now residing and working in Europe, alleges the steamy relationship was kept clandestine due to the inevitable repercussions from her father, a high-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party named Bin Hui.

“…we talked for hours and hours, we stayed in bed, we had sex… he continued to buy me gifts,” she told the Daily Mail.

She recalls that they kept their romance hidden and avoided public displays of affection to prevent her father’s disapproval. Despite the secrecy, Wang says their relationship included time spent exchanging cultural tokens, such as music and intimate gestures.

The relationship, Wang claims, eventually soured when Walz allegedly suggested she was interested more in obtaining a U.S. passport than in marriage. Feeling betrayed, she ended the relationship, with the pair apparently reconnecting over Facebook in 2009 to talk “about how their lives had panned out.”

Walz’s time in China has been noted for controversy already, as he has previously made inaccurate statements regarding his location during the Tiananmen Square protests. He later admitted errors in his recollection of dates during a vice-presidential debate, describing himself as a “knucklehead.”

There has been no comment from the Harris-Walz campaign on these recent revelations. Walz, who later married another teacher in 1994, has not publicly responded to Wang’s claims.

AOC Admits Her ‘Resistance’ Antics Are ‘Nonsense.’

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) appears to be admitting her “resistance” antics under President Donald J. Trump were “nonsense” and apparently just a stunt to sway public opinion. During a Twitch live stream on Sunday, where Ocasio-Cortez squared off against 2024 Democratic Party vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) in a game of Madden NFL, the New York Democrat pleaded with supporters to back Kamala Harris so she wouldn’t have to go through the resistance act again.

“Sorry, it got a little intense here, but it’s ’cause we’re eight days out from an election, and I’m losing my mind. And I’ve got a little smoke coming out the top of my head,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said while both she and Walz struggled to run plays in the popular football game simulator. She added: “Get it together! Cast your vote so we can be done with this! I do not want to do four more years of resistance nonsense under Donald Trump, okay?”

Continuing, Ocasio-Cortez recalled the constant state of turmoil she associated with Trump’s presidency, rhetorically asking, “Do we remember what it was like waking up every day and there being some stuff going on?”


Famously, Ocasio-Cortez was photographed crying outside an illegal immigrant detention facility in El Paso, Texas, as a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives. The photos, where she appears to exaggerate her emotions for the camera, were widely lampooned by conservatives and those supporting tougher border security.

The Twitch livestream event—ill-timed as it occurred during actual nationally televised NFL gameplay—was ostensibly an attempt by the Harris campaign to boost support among young male voters. Democrats fear this demographic is backing President Donald J. Trump at far higher margins than in past elections and could prove pivotal in deciding several critical battleground states.

Trump Campaign Aide Says Their HQ Conference Room is ‘Bugged.’

A whistleblower recently associated with the 2024 Trump presidential campaign alleges senior staff have pilfered campaign funds and installed listening devices in a conference room to spy on colleagues. The woman, who spoke anonymously but whose identity is known to The National Pulse, says Trump campaign leadership fired her after she raised concerns about “grift and greed” and the “bugging” plot—both she says are perpetrated by campaign chiefs Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles.

“The grift and greed I’ve witnessed makes me sick, and I think leadership has been bad stewards of generous donors money,” she wrote to a colleague after being fired by the campaign less than two weeks ago. The whistleblower continues: “I‘m 100% on Team Trump—I want the very best for this campaign, but what I’ve witnessed is greedy and wrong.”

According to the Daily Beast, the woman claims LaCivita and Wiles have diverted millions in campaign money to vendors who are overcharging for their services. Concerningly, the former campaign worker says at least one vendor is run by a major donor to Kamala Harris‘s presidential campaign.

The whistleblower asserts that Sean Dollman, the Trump campaign’s chief financial officer, had a conference room at the West Palm Beach campaign headquarters swept for listening devices. She alleges that the campaign CFO “has alluded to the fact that he can’t say things for fear of retaliation.” Additionally, the woman claims in her email: “There are napkins stuffed in all the gaps in the conference room now. It seems like they’re willing to go to extremes.”

Responding to the allegations, a senior staffer with the Trump campaign told the Daily Beast: “This is nothing more than fanciful lies and fabrications from a disgruntled former employee of a vendor, and this person apparently was a terrible teammate who also disclosed private, internal information to outside individuals.”

Trump Just Took the Lead in a State the GOP Hasn’t Won Since 2000.

President Donald J. Trump has taken a narrow lead in a New England state that Republicans have been unable to turn red in 24 years, just days ahead of the presidential election. The New Hampshire Journal/Praecones Analytica poll, released Sunday, shows Trump with 50.2 percent of the vote, just ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris, on 49.8 percent.

Although the lead is within the margin of error, it represents Trump’s first polling edge in New Hampshire since a similar survey in July showed him leading Joe Biden by one point before Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race.

Despite Harris leading every other New Hampshire poll as the presumptive Democratic nominee, including one poll showing a significant 21-point margin earlier in October, recent data indicates a tightening race. An Emerson College poll last week showed Harris ahead by just three points.

New Hampshire, considered conservative by northeastern U.S. standards, previously voted against Trump in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. However, Clinton won the state by only a little over 2,000 votes in 2016. The state last supported a Republican in the presidential race in 2000.

With just over a week until the election, President Trump has seen his polling numbers grow in several key swing states. Some project that he could win a landslide with over 300 Electoral College votes, far above the 270 needed to win the presidency.

REPORT: Biden Blasts ‘Dead and Buried’ Kamala Campaign – ‘Stupid, Lazy.’

Former Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is calling Kamala Harris’s run for the White House “dead and buried” behind the scenes, sources claim. The 81-year-old president is reportedly denigrating Barack Obama, whom he holds partly responsible for forcing him out of the race, and other detractors as “suckers” and “jackasses” for ousting him.

Human Events editor Jack Posobiec cites a White House official as telling “multiple advisors” that Harris is an “innate sucker” who was “too credulous from the starting line.”

The official is said to have “[a]bsolutely slammed” his vice president’s campaign schedule, characterizing it as “Classic Hare and Tortoise but the Hare is also stupid, not just lazy,” in reference to the famous Aesop’s fable.

Former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), have conducted many more interviews than Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), who have largely avoided press scrutiny. Trump has also appeared on multiple long-form podcasts, most recently the industry-leading Joe Rogan Experience, garnering tens of millions of views.

Biden is said to be more coherent on the topic of Harris and her campaign than any other subject.

‘Newly Invigorated Bannon’ Ready to Take the Fight to the Deep State – ‘Every Word Will Matter.’

Former Trump White House Chief Strategist and War Room host Stephen K. Bannon is set to be released from Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury—a federal prison in suburban Connecticut—on Tuesday. In a recent interview with NOTUS, The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, detailed what he thinks Bannon’s next moves will be as a free man.

“Expect to see a newly invigorated Stephen K. Bannon, more intent than ever to take his fight to the administrative state,” Kassam said, noting he has been in touch with Bannon almost every day of his incarceration. Kassam added: “I would not be surprised to see him immediately hitting the campaign trail, as well as hosting his War Room show for four hours each day. Every second will count. Every word will matter.”

Screenshot

Bannon was sent to the federal prison facility as a result of the Democratic Party’s lawfare campaign against President Donald J. Trump and his allies. Specifically, Bannon was held in contempt of Congress over his refusal to cooperate with the January 6 Committee—which some legal experts contend was illegally constituted by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). On the inside of FCI Danbury, Bannon has reportedly fielded a bevy of questions from the other inmates regarding politics, Trump, and the upcoming election.

At the time of his incarceration, Kassam argued that Bannon was specifically targeted by the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) because he “actually gets people up off their couches, up off their seats; helps them to register for precinct strategy; helps them to register for canvassing and campaigning.” With his release from prison just days before the November 5 election, many expect Bannon to inject a final boost of energy into the Trump campaign.

VA Asks SCOTUS to Block a Biden-Harris Push to Allow Noncitizens to Vote.

The Commonwealth of Virginia filed an emergency stay with the United States Supreme Court on Sunday night, asking that it block a ruling by a Biden-Harris-appointed federal judge barring the state from removing noncitizens from its voter rolls. Late last week, a federal district court ordered the state to halt the removal of over 1,500 individuals who have self-identified as noncitizens from state voter lists.

In 2006, then-Governor Tim Kaine (D-VA) signed legislation allowing the state to remove noncitizens from its voter rolls. Despite being on the books for nearly two decades, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has not challenged that law until now.

The emergency stay request, filed by Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R), is now on the Supreme Court’s docket. Chief Justice John Roberts will likely decide whether the stay request will move forward and be heard by the full court, which could happen within hours.

According to the original lawsuit filed by the Biden-Harris DOJ, removing noncitizen voters from the Virginia voter roll violates Section 8(c)(2) of the NVRA, also known as the Quiet Period Provision. This provision “requires states to complete systematic programs aimed at removing the names of ineligible voters from voter registration lists no later than 90 days before federal elections,” the DOJ contends.

However, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) counters that the state law has been in force since 2006 and that the state’s same-day registration rules allow any potential legal voter caught up in the noncitizen removals to cast a provisional ballot on election day. “Virginians—and Americans—will see this for exactly what it is: a desperate attempt to attack the legitimacy of the elections in the Commonwealth, the very crucible of American Democracy,” Youngkin said, blasting the DOJ lawsuit.
