Fox Claims a ‘Leading’ Cop Group Endorsed Kamala. It’s Actually a Gun Grab Group That Has Only Existed for 3 Months.

Fox News reporter Paul Steinhauser recently touted the endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris by Police Leaders for Community Safety, describing it as a “leading national law enforcement group” on par with the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the International Union of Police Associations (IUPA), and the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO), all of which have endorsed former President Donald J. Trump.

However, while the FOP, IUPA, and NAPO are many decades old and represent hundreds of thousands of police officers, Police Leaders for Community Safety is a mere “advocacy organization” that has only existed since June.

Steinhauser, who previously reported for the far-left Daily Beast and served as CNN‘s political editor, claims that Police Leaders for Community Safety is a “major law enforcement group” and accepts its description of itself as “nonpartisan.” However, it appears to exist exclusively to promote leftist policies and politicians.

The Fox report produced a cavalcade of fake news reporting on the subject, including this local New Jersey paper’s article falsely claiming the recently-created group “normally backs Trump.”

Leading member Cynthia Herriott, who resigned as Interim Acting Police Chief in Rochester, New York, in 2021 after one scandal-ridden year, said in June that gun control would be the group’s main focus, alongside issues such as “accessibility of elections”—generally code for Democratic priorities such as fewer identity checks on voters and greater use of insecure voting methods such as mail-in ballots.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s lack of support among genuine police groups is unsurprising, as she previously compared police to slavers and backed the violent Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and associated initiatives to defund police forces in 2020.

Harris also solicited donations for groups paying the bail of those taking part in BLM riots, in which multiple serving and retired police officers were killed or seriously injured.

Iran-Linked Individuals Indicted in Trump Campaign Hacking.

Multiple individuals linked to Iran have been indicted for their involvement in a hacking scheme targeting Donald J. Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. The indictment remains under seal, and the identities and exact number of those charged are unknown. However, the specific criminal counts and those charged could be made public as early as today.

In August, The National Pulse reported that foreign actors—believed to be Iranian—hacked high-level communications and vetting documents within the Trump campaign and attempted to pass those materials off to several corporate news outlets. Earlier this month, individuals associated with the Biden and Harris campaigns were also sent the hacked files.

Yesterday, far-left blogger Ken Klippenstein published an internal campaign vetting dossier on the 2024 Republican Party’s vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH). The 271-page document was among the materials attained by the Iranian hackers and circulated among American media. While relatively mundane, the document contained unredacted personal and private identifying information relating to Vance and his family.

Iran is believed to be actively engaged in several assassination plots against President Trump. In March, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced it is seeking information on an Iranian spy believed to be plotting attacks against the former President and his allies.

Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has stated that there are five ongoing plots against Trump. Three are being pushed by a foreign government.

Harris Claims She’s a Gun Owner Who Respects the Second Amendment. So Why Did She Sponsor Gun-Grab Legislation?

As San Francisco District Attorney (DA), Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris supported Proposition H, aimed at prohibiting residents from possessing, distributing, or manufacturing handguns. The measure, which Harris sponsored, faced significant opposition even within her party. Prominent Democrats such as then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and then-U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein distanced themselves from the local ballot proposal.

Harris currently presents herself as a moderate, claiming she owns a gun and declaring, “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot, sorry,” in a recent livestream with Oprah Winfrey. However, her past support of Proposition H provides yet another example of her being on the extreme left of the Democratic Party, backing policies including the decriminalization of unlawful border crossings, defunding the police and federal immigration enforcement, and banning fracking before she replaced Joe Biden as the 2024 nominee.

Proposition H was approved in 2005—but invalidated by state courts before it could be implemented. It would have required residents to surrender their handguns within four months. San Francisco was forced to pay $380,000 in settlements to the National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation, California Rifle and Pistol Association, and other plaintiffs challenging it.

Harris also supported the authorities being able to enter gun owners’ homes to “check to see if you’re being responsible and safe” and continues to support a “mandatory buyback program” for semiautomatic “assault” rifles.

Leftist lawmakers such as Elizabeth Warren and progressive activists believe her professed centrism is a pose for the election and that she will return to a far-left agenda, particularly on immigration, once voting is out of the way.

Notre Dame Students Back Trump After 12 Years of Democrat Support.

Students at Notre Dame University support President Donald J. Trump over his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, by an almost two-point margin, according to new election data. This is the first time in twelve years that students have preferred a Republican over a Democrat at the ostensibly ‘Catholic’ university.

The Irish Rover, a student-run newspaper, surveyed students between September 15 and 18. The results show that Trump holds 47.6 percent of the student vote, compared to Harris’s 45.9 percent. In 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden garnered 66 percent of student support compared to Trump’s 29 percent. Similarly, in 2016, Hillary Clinton led Trump by 59 percent to 24 percent in a comparable poll.

Elliot Anderson, president of Notre Dame’s College Republicans chapter, was astonished by the results. “It’s amazing to see a college campus stand by President Trump,” Anderson told The Rover.

The data suggests Kamala Harris may be struggling to appeal to Catholic voters. Her inability to garner majority support on the university campus could indicate a challenging environment for Harris among white Catholics—and perhaps Catholics overall.

The National Pulse reported earlier this week that Harris announced she will not attend the annual Al Smith dinner on October 17 in New York City, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate in 36 years not to do so. Sponsored by the Archdiocese of New York, the Catholic fundraiser typically features lighthearted exchanges between presidential candidates.

Responding to the snub, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, remarked, “We’re not used to this; we don’t know how to handle it. This hasn’t happened in 40 years since Walter Mondale turned down the invitation. And remember, he lost 49 out of 50 states.”

A Pew Research Center poll published on September 10 showed Trump leading Harris by five points among Catholic voters nationally. This poll also highlighted Trump’s strong lead among white Catholic voters, with a 23-point margin (61 percent to 38 percent).

Kamala Makes Up Book of the Bible in Excruciating ‘Off-Script’ Moment.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris cited a book of the Bible that does not exist in a rare “off-script” moment on Wednesday. “You know, there’s a time for patience, and there’s a time for impatience. That’s not in Ecclesiastics,” she said in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, adding: “I just went off-script for a minute.”

Harris may have been referring to the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes, which teaches, ‘To everything, there is a season,” including “a time to weep, and a time to laugh,” and “a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”

The Vice President of mixed Indian and Jamaican heritage claims that, as a child, she attended both a Hindu temple, where she learned “that all faiths teach us to pursue justice,” and a black Baptist church, where she sang in the choir.

Many elements of the 59-year-old’s account of her background have been called into question. For instance, claims that her Indian grandfather, P.V. Gopalan, was one of the country’s “original independence fighters” are contradicted by the fact he worked for the British imperial government until decolonization. Claims she worked for McDonald’s in her youth also lack evidence.

Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is also known to misrepresent his past, falsely claiming he carried weapons “in war” as a National Guardsman despite never deploying to a combat zone and lying about an arrest for driving while intoxicated.

Far-Left Blogger Publishes Iranian-Hacked Dossier on J.D. Vance, Doxing His Social Security Number, Physical Addresses, Cell Numbers, and E-Mails.

Far-left blogger Ken Klippenstein has published an internal campaign vetting dossier on the 2024 Republican Party’s vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH). Klippenstein, who previously worked as a journalist with The Intercept and the far-left progressive commentary web show The Young Turks, posted the material believed to have been hacked by the Islamic Republic of Iran on his Substack on Thursday. The National Pulse is choosing not to link to the dossier, given the plethora of personal information contained therein.

The dossier published by Klippenstein contains a bevy of private information belonging to Vance, including his social security number, personal phone number, physical addresses, and private email addresses. Klippenstein made no effort to conceal other private details and contact information for the vice presidential nominee, potentially constituting a threat to Vance and his family.

The 271-page document itself is fairly typical for any campaign’s vetting process. It raises several concerns about past policy positions and statements and weighs how these may impact the presidential ticket. The vetting materials make note of Vance’s early opposition to President Donald J. Trump’s 2016 campaign and some concerns over his ‘conservative’ bona fides.

Throughout the vetting document, Vance is revealed to be far less radically right-wing than portrayed by national Democrats and Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. The Ohio Republican comes across as thoughtful and open to a wide array of policies and ideological propositions.

While the materials do not appear to be the explosive exposé alluded to by some members of the corporate media who received the documents from Iranian agents who hacked the Trump campaign, the publishing of private and personal details is concerning. The American intelligence community has made it abundantly clear that there is a concerted effort by the Iranian Islamist regime aimed at assassinating President Trump in order to prevent him from retaking the White House.

DOJ Refuses to Say How Many Feds Were at Jan 6 Until AFTER the Election.

Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz has confirmed the number of federal assets present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, will likely not be disclosed until after the November election. At a Congressional hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) told Horowitz he has been “continuously stonewalled” by Attorney General Merrick Garland and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray on the number of “federal assets, such as confidential human sources” at the riot for three years. However, the DOJ Inspector General was no more forthcoming.

“Do you have evidence of the number of confidential human sources that were operating on the Capitol grounds on January 6?” Massie asked, with Horowitz responding that the information would be included in his long-delayed report on January 6, commissioned just days after it occurred.

“Were there more than a hundred?” Massie pressed, but Horowitz insisted: “I’m not in a position to say that, both because [the report] is in draft form, and we have not gone through the classification review, and so I need to be careful.”

He told Massie he doubts the report will “be done in time for the election,” leaving voters in the dark about the situation when they head to the polls.

Former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steven Sund has previously said there was “a fair amount of law enforcement in the crowd” on January 6, including Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) operatives.

Kamala Admits to Constitutional Vandalism in Scandalous Abortion Play.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has advocated for the elimination of the Senate filibuster to pass legislation that would nationalize abortion access, overturning the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade reversal. Speaking on Wisconsin Public Radio, Harris stated explicitly: “I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe.”

The proposed law aims to legalize abortion across the country, negating various state-level pro-life regulations. Eliminating the filibuster would lower the threshold for passing such legislation from 60 votes to 50 in the Senate. This change would require Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, to serve as the tie-breaking vote if the Democrats maintain their current 51 Senate seats. As a Congressman and Governor of Minnesota, Walz has voted against legislation protecting babies who survive abortions, and signed legislation eliminating state-level reporting on such survivals.

Harris argues that removing the filibuster is necessary to restore “protections for reproductive freedom.” Independent Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who recently switched from the Democratic Party, warns that, without the filibuster, the Senate could become akin to the House but “on steroids.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has hinted at ending the filibuster to advance abortion legislation should the Democrats achieve a “trifecta” by winning the presidency and both houses of Congress in the upcoming election.

Speaker Johnson Tells Zelensky to Fire Ambassador After Open Foreign Interference.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson demanded that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky fire the Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States after Zelensky toured a factory in the swing state of Pennsylvania and criticized President Donald J. Trump.

Oksana Markarova, the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, helped plan Zelensky’s visit this week. During his visit, he was flown on a U.S. Air Force C-17 to the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

Zelensky seemed to be campaigning for Harris as he slammed both President Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance (R-OH), in the media.

“The idea that the world should end this war at Ukraine’s expense is unacceptable. But I do not consider this concept of his a plan, in any formal sense,” Zelensky said of Trump’s plan to end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Speaker Johnson wrote bluntly to Zelensky following the visit, saying, “I demand that you immediately fire Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova,” and called the visit clear “election interference.”

Zelensky toured an armaments factory in Pennsylvania during this visit. Speaker Johnson added in his letter, “The facility was in a politically contested battleground state, was led by a top political surrogate for Kamala Harris, and failed to include a single Republican because – on purpose – no Republicans were invited.”

“Support for ending Russia’s war against Ukraine continues to be bipartisan, but our relationship is unnecessarily tested and needlessly tarnished when the candidates at the top of the Republican presidential ticket are targeted in the media by officials in your government,” he added.

President Trump, meanwhile, has stated that he would bring an end to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine prior to his oath of office if elected in November.

‘Pathetic’ Kamala Grants PRE-RECORDED Interview to MSNBC Host Known for Defending Her Press Evasion.

Vice President Kamala Harris will participate in her first major one-on-one interview since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate in a pre-recorded session with MSNBC‘s Stephanie Ruhle on Wednesday night. The decision to forgo a live interview drew widespread criticism and allegations that Harris is dodging serious scrutiny, particularly as Ruhle has previously endorsed her and defended her decision to avoid the media.

“This is legitimately pathetic for a person who wants to be president,” said former President Donald J. Trump‘s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance. “Ruhle has explicitly endorsed Harris. She won’t ask hard [questions],” he added.

Ruhle recently appeared on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher alongside New York Times columnist Bret Stephens. “I don’t think it’s a lot to ask her to sit down for a real interview,” Stephens argued. Ruhle, however, scoffed, “I would just say to that, when you move to Nirvana, give me your real estate broker’s number and I’ll be your next door neighbor.”

“Kamala Harris isn’t running for perfect. She’s running against Trump. We have two choices,” she said, denouncing Trump as a “threat to democracy.”

Trump, for his part, responded to Ruhle’s comments about him on Real Time by branding her a “dumb as a rock bimbo.”
