The Entire Deep State Just Endorsed Kamala.

More than 700 deep state security and military officials have officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president, claiming that former President Donald J. Trump “endangers” democratic ideals, ironically as Harris was never democratically nominated by her party.

The officials signed a joint letter endorsing Harris, lauding her for supporting Ukraine while  claiming she “grasps the reality of American military deterrence.”

The letter is almost more of an expression of criticism and opposition to Trump as it is an endorsement of Harris, with the letter stating, “Mr. Trump threatens our democratic system,” and “He said he wants to be a ‘dictator,’ and his clarification that he would only be a dictator for a day is not reassuring.”

Among those who signed the letter are former Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel, who served under Barack Obama, and several retired generals and admirals.

Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung reacted to the latter, saying those who signed it “are the same people who got our country into endless foreign wars and profited off of them while the American people suffered.”

He added that Trump was the only president in recent history not to begin any new foreign wars.

The letter comes after prominent neocons also endorsed Kamala Harris in recent weeks, including former Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the chief architects of the disastrous Iraq war.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, currently pursuing the war in Ukraine, also endorsed Harris, stating she was his favorite earlier this month.

“Our ‘favorite,’ if you can call it that, was the current president, Mr. Biden. But he was removed from the race and recommended all his supporters to support Ms. Harris. Well, we will do so – we will support her,” Putin said.

Biden-Harris Used U.S. Military to Fly Zelensky to Swing State… Where He Campaigned For Kamala.

Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, flew to Pennsylvania on Sunday on an American taxpayer-funded U.S. military aircraft ostensibly to tour armaments factories that supply his country with weapons. However, Zelenksy turned the Biden-Harris government-organized tour into an impromptu campaign event for the Democratic Party, railing against former President Donald J. Trump to the media.

Traveling aboard a U.S. Air Force C-17, Zelensky bashed both former President Trump and his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH). The Republican presidential ticket has been vocally critical of further prolonging the war in Ukraine. Instead, Trump and Vance have pushed for a lasting agreement between the country and Russia to end the violent conflict, which has killed somewhere between half a million and a million people.

On Sunday, Zelensky told the New Yorker, “My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how. ” He added that Vance was “too radical,” claiming the Ohio Republican’s Ukraine plan consisted of giving up Ukrainian territories.

“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,” Zelenskly said, comparing any compromise with Russia as being akin to the early World War II appeasement of Adolf Hitler.

Trump has previously stated that he will end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia before taking the oath of office if elected in November.

REJECTED PEACE DEALS.

Zelensky has previously rejected Trump’s proposals to end the war. In April this year, he stated that no peace plan could involve his country relinquishing control of its territory, likely referring to Crimea and Donbas. At one point in 2022, Ukraine and Russia were close to a ceasefire, if not a peace deal, but thanks to former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Biden-Harris regime, the deal fell through.

Anti-Russia warmonger and recent Biden-Harris official Victoria Nuland even admitted that the administration had blocked the 2022 deal, claiming that it was unfair to Ukraine because it placed limits on the Ukrainian military.

Kamala’s Husband is Lashing Out at The Teamsters for Refusing to Endorse Her.

Doug Emhoff, the Second Gentleman and husband to Vice President Kamala Harris, is lashing out at the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union for refusing to endorse his wife’s 2024 Democratic Party presidential campaign. Despite rank-and-file members of the Teamsters overwhelmingly backing former President Donald J. Trump, according to the union’s internal polling, Emhoff believes the labor organization should still have thrown its support to his wife.

“Even though Trump, you know, bullied the leaders of the Teamsters to not do an endorsement, the Teamster locals are all endorsing her, including right here in Pennsylvania,” Emhoff claimed at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania on Sunday. A corporate and entertainment industry litigator whose past clients include the aggressively anti-union Walmart Inc., he added: “These Teamsters are not going to listen to some guy in D.C. who does not have the courage to stand up to Donald Trump, right? Can’t have that.”

The “some guy in D.C.” Emhoff is referring to is Teamsters president Sean O’Brien, who spoke earlier this summer at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. O’Brien has repeatedly stressed that his priorities are serving his union members’ best interests, upholding their political preferences, and building relationships with both political parties to ensure the voices of his members are heard.

CRITICAL UNION VOTERS.

In Pennsylvania, union households—including the Teamsters—could prove pivotal in deciding whether Trump or Harris wins the state. Election experts continually point to white working-class areas of Western Pennsylvania, in which Joe Biden secured higher levels of support in 2020 than Hillary Clinton in 2016, as the deciding factor in that state’s swing to Democrats in the prior presidential election.

Last Wednesday, the Teamsters announced they would not endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in 28 years. The union’s publicly released polling data shows former President Trump winning its members by an almost two-to-one margin over Harris.

Liz Cheney Wants a New Party for Neo-Cons.

Liz Cheney, the former chair of the House Republican Conference, wants the GOP to lose control of the House of Representatives and says that a new, neoconservative party may be needed to supplant it if it does not shed former President Donald J. Trump’s influence. Cheney and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, have already endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

“The [Republican] party itself really has rejected the Constitution in the name of supporting Trump,” she alleges, suggesting a new party may be required “because, again, so much of the Republican Party today has allowed itself to become a tool for this really unstable man. It certainly has moved away from standing for anything of substance, anything of policy. We’re going to have to have some entity that actually can be making the case for the kind of conservative causes that I believe in.”

Cheney and her father—regarded as a chief architect of the Iraq War—are far more in favor of foreign military interventions than Trump, the first President not to start any new conflicts since the 1970s. Trump believes there has been a permanent shift away from neoconservatism since he became the GOP’s leading man, vowing conservatives are “never going back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, and Jeb Bush.”

BIG SHIFT.

Cheney seems to fear he is right, saying of organizing a new party, “Look, it’s hard for me to see how the Republican Party, given what it has done, can make the argument convincingly or credibly that people ought to vote for Republican candidates until it really recognizes what it’s done.”

“There is certainly going to be a big shift, I think, in how our politics work… I don’t think it will just simply be, well, the Republican Party is going to put up a new slate of candidates and off to the races. I think far too much has happened that’s too damaging,” she added.

The 58-year-old says it is “really important that Mike Johnson not be the Speaker of the House on January 6, 2025,” claiming “the Republicans have shown that they will not certify the results if Donald Trump is not the victor.”

Cheney says she has already spoken to Harris, advising people to “stay tuned” for her next moves. She already has a history of collaborating with the Democratic Party, joining the corrupt January 6 Committee in 2021.

IRS

Yes, the IRS Union is Backing Kamala Harris. Which Means You Probably Shouldn’t.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent union has formally endorsed Kamala Harris for the presidency. During her tenure as Vice President, Harris cast a crucial tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which significantly increased the IRS budget.

“When it comes to treating federal employees with respect, valuing their service and investing in their work, Kamala Harris is the clear choice,” said National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) President Doreen Greenwald.

Harris is advocating for expanding the IRS, a stance the union welcomes. The proposed $5 trillion in tax increases over the next decade includes personal and small business income tax hikes, a higher capital gains tax, an increased corporate tax rate, a Death Tax hike, and a carbon tax, among others.

Projections suggest these measures will greatly expand the IRS, as additional agents will be necessary to enforce the new tax policies. The IRS agent union has a history of strong financial support for the Democratic Party. In the 2022 election cycle, the union’s political action committee (PAC) donated $635,170 to Democratic candidates and committees, according to Open Secrets data. This constituted 97 percent of its election-related contributions.

Key recipients of the union PAC’s funds included the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the DNC Services Corporation, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Additionally, the PAC supported the Democratic State Central Committee of Maryland and numerous House and Senate Democrats.

The Mayor of America’s First Muslim-Majority City May Just Have Handed Trump the Election.

The mayor of Hamtramck, a city in Michigan with a Muslim-majority population, has publicly declared his support for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Amer Ghalib, who leads the suburb of Detroit, made the stunning announcement through a Facebook post on Sunday.

The news comes shortly after the Democrat splinter movement ‘Uncommitted‘ once again refused to back Kamala Harris in the November election and as Michigan finds itself a critical deciding state in the nation.

Despite acknowledging his differences with Trump, Ghalib described the ex-president as “a man of principles.” In his Arabic-language post, he expressed confidence in Trump’s leadership, stating, “Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time.”

Ghalib is no stranger to the media spotlight, creating headlines in October 2023, shortly after the Hamas terror attacks on Israel, where he stated: “Peace can never coexist with occupation and injustice, anywhere and at any time no matter how strong the oppressor or how weak the oppressed is!”

In June last year, Ghalib’s city banned LGBT Pride after the Muslim-majority city council proscribed the homosexual festivities. 

The National Pulse has reported extensively on Ghalib and Hamtramck following the town featuring prominently in the bestselling book No Go Zones.

Ghalib emphasized his commitment to the Trump endorsement, saying he would not regret his decision, regardless of the outcome.

He wrote, “I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences. For this and many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next president of the United States, Donald Trump.” He further added, “Now, let the caravan begin its journey. This is just the starting point.”

Trump acknowledged Ghalib’s endorsement by reposting the message on his Truth Social account.

Ghalib’s support for Trump followed a recent private meeting between the two in Flint, Michigan, which lasted approximately 20 minutes. During their conversation, they discussed topics such as the debates, voting statistics in Michigan and Wayne County, and specific concerns of Arab American and Yemeni American communities. The situation in Yemen was also part of their discussion.

Hamtramck is the only U.S. city governed entirely by Muslims, and over 40 percent of its population is foreign-born.

DATA: Trump Speaks 4X Longer At Rallies, as Kamala Quits After Just 24 Mins on Average.

New York Times data based on a number of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris rallies have revealed the Vice President consistently underperforming her competitor by over four times over, despite the fact that Trump is two decades her senior.

In an article designed originally to imply that Trump rally length was causing attendees to leave a few minutes before Trump left the stage, the New York Times accidentally revealed that Harris speaks for an average of just 24 minutes – a paltry number considering how long rally-goers wait (often all day) to see the speakers.

Trump, on the other hand, spoke for an average of one hour and 38 minutes, with opening line ups also featuring for far longer than the programming at a Harris event.

The numbers shed light on how seriously each side takes their base of support, with Team Kamala clearly taking their backers for granted, while Team Trump focuses on delivering value for in exchange for attendance.

A recent Savannah, Georgia rally saw Harris speak for just 19 minutes, with an opening act lasting just six. In total, rallygoers who queued for hours received just 25 minutes on programming in exchange.

Trump’s stamina and ability to speak – often off the cuff for up to two hours at a time – has been a defining characteristic of his campaigns, starting in 2016.

Janet Jackson Tells Kamala: You Ain’t Black!

Pop star Janet Jackson recently questioned Vice President Kamala Harris’s self-proclaimed racial identity, stating in an interview that Harris is not black. Speaking to The Guardian, Jackson responded to queries about the possibility of the United States electing its first black female president. “She’s not black, that’s what I heard, that she’s Indian,” Jackson remarked. She claimed she was informed that Harris’s father is white. “I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days,” she added.

When asked whether she believed the nation was ready for a female president of color, Jackson expressed uncertainty. “Honestly, I don’t want to answer that because I really truthfully don’t know,” she said. “I think either way it goes is going to be mayhem.”

Her comments echo similar sentiments expressed by former President Donald Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in July. Trump had asserted that Harris originally emphasized her Indian heritage at the start of her career but now identifies as black. “She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage,” Trump stated. “I didn’t know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black.”

Trump continued, “I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn, and she went — she became a black person.”

Vice President Harris is the daughter of Donald J. Harris, a Jamaican-American professor at Stanford, and her mother, who is of Indian descent. Harris has faced scrutiny from some individuals who allege she identifies with different aspects of her ancestry depending on the circumstance. Recently, critics claimed she adopted a regional accent while speaking in Detroit, which then seemed to fade at a subsequent event in Pittsburgh the same day.

NYT Data: Donald Trump More Popular Than Taylor Swift.

Voters view former President Donald J. Trump more favorably than pop star Taylor Swift, who endorsed the 2024 Democrat Party presidential nominee Kamala Harris after the September 10 presidential debate. According to a survey by Siena College and The New York Times conducted in the immediate days following the debate, only 44 percent of voters view Swift positively. Meanwhile, 47 percent of voters view former President Trump favorably.

Swift is predictably most popular with voters who identify as Democrats, hitting 70 percent. Just 11 percent of Democrats say they view her unfavorably. Among independents, Swift’s favorability rating slides drastically to just 41 percent, while her unfavorable rating jumps to 32 percent. Republican voters are the least likely to view her as favorable, with a rating of just 23 percent. Conversely, 60 percent of Republicans say they view Swift unfavorably.

While national Democrats and the Harris campaign have touted Swift’s endorsement for almost two weeks now, it appears that the pop star’s backing has done little to move nationwide and battleground polls. The 2024 presidential race remains essentially a toss-up between Trump and Harris.

The National Pulse reported last week that initial data following the Swift endorsement suggests very little change in the breakdown of the American youth vote for either candidate. In fact, Harris appears to be running significantly behind where Joe Biden was at among young voters in September 2020.

Secret Service Report Finds Agency Responsible for Multiple Failures During Attempted Trump Assassination.

A report released by the United States Secret Service (USSS) regarding the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13 admits the protective agency is responsible for numerous security and communications failures. The internal review also notes that the USSS failed to use technology that could have been detected when Thomas Matthew Crooks flew a drone above the rally site hours before the campaign rally and was not even aware that local police were searching for a suspicious person until Crooks had fired his weapon.

Former USSS director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned shortly after the attempted assassination, initiated the review, which admits the agency did not direct local police snipers to cover a rooftop despite the officers’s willingness to do so. Additionally, the report states that agents failed to utilize the agency’s radio network—instead opting for mobile phones—which caused critical information regarding the gunman to be siloed in the moments before Crooks opened fire.

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

In the aftermath of the shooting, which saw former President Trump hit by a bullet in the ear—and rallygoer Corey Comperatore killed—it was revealed that the USSS was short-staffed and that many of the agents present were inexperienced Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel. A whistleblower also showed that USSS agents were told not to request extra manpower before the rally and were explicitly told that any requests that did come through would be denied.

Acting USSS Director Ronald Rowe Jr., who replaced Cheatle, has stated that he is “ashamed” of the agency’s failures. In late July, he said, “As a career law enforcement officer and a twenty-five-year veteran with the Secret Service, I cannot defend why that roof was not better secured.”

Rowe has stated that future event security plans will have thorough evaluations by multiple supervisors to prevent the numerous failures seen in Butler. Despite this, Trump was the target of another attempted assassination while golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida, this past weekend.
