Trump WILL Establish Government Efficiency Commission Proposed by Musk: Report.

Former President Donald J. Trump will establish the Government Efficiency Commission proposed to him by tech mogul Elon Musk during an interview on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, according to reports. The America First Leader is expected to announce the commission will oversee “a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government” and outline “recommendations for drastic reform” at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.

Trump and Musk bonded over their mutual disdain for government waste during the conversation in August, with the former president observing, “[N]obody negotiates prices.” He cited efforts by officials to get him to sign off on $5.7 billion for Boeing to provide two Air Force One jets while he was in office, as an example, with Musk calling the sum “insane” and suggesting similar bloat could be multiplied “by a zillion” across government.

Musk, who believes this overspending is responsible for inflation, said “it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that takes a look at these things and just ensures that the taxpayer money, the taxpayer’s hard-earned money, is spent in a good way.”

“I’d be happy to help out on such a commission,” he added, with Trump saying he would “love” this.

Previously, Musk has expressed exasperation with Kamala Harris’s failure to connect a single person to the Internet since she was appointed rural broadband czar by Joe Biden in 2021, despite having a budget of $42 billion for the role, noting that his Starlink satellite network could have completed the job for a fraction of that sum by now.

Cost of Food Hits Record High Under Biden-Harris Govt.

Americans are paying more than ever for food at grocery stores and restaurants due to the Biden–Harris government’s inflationary spending policies. Since 2020, food costs in American homes have risen by 22 percent, while restaurant prices are up 27 percent.

The price of food in the U.S. hit an all-time high in July despite Democrat claims that inflation has subsided. In addition, housing and transportation costs also saw significant increases of 27 percent and 27 percent, respectively. Compounding the affordability crisis, the U.S. Dollar has lost nearly a quarter of its purchasing power since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office.

Soaring costs for everyday goods and necessities have become a critical issue for voters ahead of November’s presidential election. The National Pulse reported earlier this week that Americans increasingly have to take on two or more jobs to make ends meet.

Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) issued a benchmark revision late last month, revising down the total number of jobs added to the economy between April 2023 and March 2024 by nearly one million.

In response to the BLS revision and mounting concerns that the labor market is weakening, the Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates later this month. However, persistent inflation could force the central bank to delay the cut, or reverse course should prices continue to rise.

STUNNING PIC: Tim Walz’s Family Backs Trump, Posing in Custom Tees.

Family members of Kamala Harris‘s running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, have come out in favor of former President Donald J. Trump in the Democrat’s home state of Nebraska.

Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Charles W. Herbster (R) released a photograph showing eight members of the Walz clan posing in custom ‘Nebraska Walz’s for Trump’ T-shirts, in front of a ‘Tump 2024, Take America Back’ flag.

“Tim Walz’s family back in Nebraska wants you to know something,” Herbster joked.

The eye-catching statement follows the Democrat vice presidential hopeful‘s Florida-based older brother, Jeff Walz, releasing a statement saying he is “100 percent opposed to all his [brother’s] ideology.”

“The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future,” Jeff said of his brother.

Many of the people closest to Walz have had negative things to say about him. Former members of his National Guard unit, from which he took early retirement, recently denounced him as a “habitual liar,” a “coward,” and a “deserter.”

Before that, Lieutenant Colonel John Kolb, a former commander of the battalion Walz served in, slammed the Democrat for lying about being a retired Command Sergeant Major, saying he “did not earn the rank” and retired as a master sergeant.

“I do not regret that Tim Walz retired early from the Minnesota Army National Guard, did not complete the Sergeants Major Academy, broke his enlistment contract or did not successfully complete any assignment as a Sergeant Major,” Kolb added, explaining that the Democrat “Unwittingly… got out of the way for better leadership.”

Walz also receives heavy criticism for lying about carrying weapons “in war,” despite never serving in a combat zone.

REPORT: Kamala Is STILL Trying to Renegotiate the Debate Rules – Here’s Why…

Kamala Harris and her team are still trying to change the debate rules for her showdown with President Trump on ABC News on September 10, less than one week away, according to NBC News:

The Harris campaign is still negotiating with ABC News about rules for the Sept. 10 debate with Trump, according to a Harris campaign official.

No agreement has been reached on the final rules, the official said.

One of the key issues is whether the candidates’ microphones should be muted when it isn’t their turn to speak.

“Republicans want them muted; Democrats don’t,” wrote NBC on August 30, with the issue still not yet put to bed.

The Harris campaign claims: “She not only wants America to see Donald Trump unvarnished on a hot mic; she wants to show America she can stand up to him and take anything and everything he throws at her… Voters always want to see that. When you stand up to others, that means you’ll stand up for them. That is a critical test, especially as a woman candidate for president.”

In other words, the argument is not so much about Trump having his mic on or off, but rather that Harris wants to be able to freely interrupt the 45th President during his answers.

Kamala Campaign Recruits Strategist from Britain’s Far-Left Labour Party.

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign is recruiting Deborah Mattinson, a former strategy director to Britain’s far-left prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer. Mattinson will head to Washington, D.C., to brief the Harris campaign on Starmer’s Labour Party’s victory in Britain’s July 4 snap election, which returned them to power after 14 years in opposition.

Mattinson’s approach focused on persuading traditional Labour voters, who had abandoned the party over its embrace of mass migration and woke ideology, to return to the fold. Harris, who previously advocated far-left policies such as banning fracking, decriminalizing illegal border crossings, and defunding the police, likely hopes a similar rebrand will boost her appeal among workers in key swing states.

Mattinson’s recruitment forms part of a broader collaboration between Labour and the Democrats. Starmer’s closest advisers have already met with Harris’ team, and many Labour politicians attended the Democratic National Convention (DNC)—despite British populist leader Nigel Farage previously being attacked for attending the RNC.

THE INTERNATIONAL LEFT.

“Labour is one of the only Western parties that have recently won, or look likely to win, from the center left,” explained Matthew McGregor, a former Labour digital director and Obama strategist.

“For Democrats following British politics, they have been intrigued by the speed [with] which Labour has gone from the [Jeremy] Corbyn days to being in power now. It’s really got people’s attention.”

The British media already believes Harris is copying Starmer’s intentionally “boring” presentation to avoid turning off middle-of-the-road voters.

Corbyn, the previous Labour leader, was much more openly left-wing than Starmer, who presented as moderate. However, in a warning for American independents who believe Harris is now moderate, Starmer is governing from the authoritarian left now he has power.

However, Starmer likely won on July 4 mainly because voters were no longer willing to vote for the Conservative Party after over a decade of broken promises on immigration. Starmer actually won fewer votes on July 4 than Corbyn did in 2019, with a historically low share of the popular vote and a lowered turnout.

Now That He’s Finally F**king Off, Biden’s Approval Numbers Are Rising.

The White House is boasting that Joe Biden’s approval rating is climbing—now that he is no longer running for the presidency. A poll by Suffolk University has 47.6 percent of respondents giving a favorable opinion of the 81-year-old, against 48.9 percent giving an unfavorable opinion.

While an improvement on Biden’s abysmal ratings while he was still the Democratic candidate, this is still a net negative rating, despite 48 percent of poll respondents identifying as Biden voters, against 41.6 percent Donald Trump voters.

The improvement in Biden’s public standing appears to be directly linked to the fact he is bowing out of politics, with 84.2 percent of respondents saying Biden’s withdrawal from the race was “the right thing to do.”

Opinions on Vice President Kamala Harris replacing Biden as the Democratic nominee without a primary contest are less clear-cut. Fifty-four percent say her elevation was “the right thing for Democrats to do,” but a sizeable minority of 40.6 percent disagree.

Despite likely Harris voters having high enthusiasm, approval of the job she is doing as Vice President is weak. Only 28.1 percent “approve” of her record, with another 18.6 percent who “strongly approve.” Meanwhile, 12.3 percent “disapprove,” and a plurality of 34.1 percent “strongly disapprove.”

Biden actually has stronger numbers than Harris in terms of job approval, with 30.2 percent answering “approve” and 17.7 percent answering “strongly approve.”

THE ISSUES.

Despite Harris having the edge in terms of overall voting intention, with 47.6 percent of respondents leaning Harris against 43.3 percent leaning Trump, the America First leader outpolls Biden’s deputy on many key issues.

An outright majority of respondents believe Trump would perform better on the economy, immigration, and national security, and a plurality believe he would do a better job dealing with China.

Harris only leads on healthcare and race relations.

REPORT: Chinese Agents Have Operated Unabated In U.S. Under The Biden-Harris Govt.

The Biden–Harris government appears to be turning a blind eye to Chinese state-sponsored harassment of political dissidents, anti-communist protestors, and advocates for minority rights living in the United States. While there has been a crackdown on illicit Chinese-operated ‘police stations’ in New York and San Francisco by the Department of Justice(DOJ)—more clandestine but highly organized efforts by the communist country to suppress the rights of anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) activists in the U.S. have largely continued unabated.

According to an analysis produced by The Washington Post, Chinese diplomats coordinated with various Chinese-American and Chinese national-led interest and community groups to target and silence anti-CCP activists ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s 2023 visit to San Francisco. The effort, led by individuals with ties to the United Front Work Department—an internal CCP group tasked with organizing foreign Chinese influence operations—resulted in violent attacks on political dissidents, pro-Uyghur, and pro-Tibet activists in the days leading up to and during Xi’s visit to the U.S.

“Anti-Xi protesters were attacked with extended flagpoles and chemical spray, punched, kicked and had fistfuls of sand thrown in their faces,” the newspaper claims after having reviewed hours of footage and photographs from San Francisco protests.

CHINA’S INFLUENCE IN THE WEST.

The semi-clandestine influence operations—often aimed at suppressing dissidents abroad—have long been a problem in the United Kingdom and Australia. However, the scale of China’s network of agents and allies in the U.S. has been less clear until recent investigations and arrests.

A former aide to Governors Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and Kathy Hochul (D-NY) was arrested on Tuesday morning and charged with operating as an unregistered foreign agent on behalf of China. The unsealed federal indictment states that Linda Sun edited official statements to be more friendly to the CCP—among other actions—in exchange for millions of dollars in payments.

Meanwhile, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), Kamala Harris‘s 2024 running mate, is drawing congressional scrutiny over his long-standing ties to China. Walz praised the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and lauded the ideals of international communism to students at Nebraska high school while teaching in the state during the 1990s.

The National Pulse reported in May last year that the government in the United Kingdom shared addresses and banking information for anti-CCP dissidents living in the country with the Chinese Communist regime. Having governed Hong Kong until the 1990s, Britain is a popular destination for pro-democracy activists seeking refuge from the Chinese authorities. Additionally, in September 2023, UK Parliament aides were arrested on allegations of spying on behalf of China.

RFK Jr. Sues to Remove Name from NC Ballot After Election Board Refuses.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is taking legal action to remove his name from North Carolina‘s presidential ballot line in November. The move comes amid Kennedy’s decision to suspend his presidential campaign in battleground states and back former President Donald J. Trump.

Last Friday, Kennedy filed a lawsuit in Wake County Superior Court, asserting that the North Carolina Election Board is causing him “irreparable harm” by not removing his name. The board had previously ruled against the removal, citing logistical constraints.

In issuing its ruling, the election board explained: “It would not be practical to reprint ballots that have already been printed and meet the state law deadline to start absentee voting.”

In recent days, the Kennedy campaign has worked to remove the candidate’s name from the presidential election ballot in about key swing states, including North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

Election officials in Wisconsin and Michigan have ruled that the deadline to remove Kennedy’s name has passed, leaving the independent candidate on the ballot. Kennedy has successfully removed his name from the ballot in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Nevada.

Polling data suggests his Kennedy’s presence on ballots could aid Kamala Harris in the November election. Having largely ended his independent presidential bid on August 23, Kennedy publicly endorsed Trump and gained a role on the former president’s transition team.

Earlier in the year, Kennedy founded the We The People Party. He initially battled legal challenges from the North Carolina Democratic Party to secure his position on the ballot.

Tim Walz’s Big Bro Is ‘100 Percent Opposed’ to His Politics.

Kamala Harris’s running mate, Tim Walz, faces surprising opposition—from his older brother. Jeff Walz openly criticized Tim on social media, saying he is not the “type of character” who should make decisions for our future.

The details: The revelations came to light after conservative journalist Laura Loomer discovered Jeff’s personal Facebook page and a post from March 30, 2023, where he wrote: “We’ve just become a third world banana republic” after Donald Trump’s first 34-count indictment in New York.

  • Loomer also noted that Jeff was a registered Republican, and financial records show he donated to Trump in 2016.

Jeff speaks his mind: Jeff took to Facebook on Friday, where he continued to skewer his far-left brother, saying, “I’m 100 percent opposed to all his ideology.” When someone responded, suggesting he endorse Trump publicly, he wrote:

    • “I’ve thought long and hard about doing something like that! I’m torn between that and just keeping my family out of it.”
    • “The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”

Back up: Jeff and Tim Walz have not spoken in eight years after a falling out.

No courtesy: Jeff also shared: “My family wasn’t given any notice that he was selected.”

Big picture: Anytime a second or third cousin has something negative to say about Donald Trump, the mainstream media makes it headline news. However as I write this, CNN has not used a drop of ink on this story.

Top Kamala and Walz Ally Praises Brazil’s Move to Ban Elon Musk’s X.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) has heaped praise on Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes for moving to ban Elon Musk‘s social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The radical Minnesota Democrat—and former deputy chairman of the Democratic Party—is a close ally of Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

“Obrigado Brasil!” Ellison posted to X on Monday night after the country’s high court upheld de Moraes‘s ban on the social media platform. Last Friday, the far-left and authoritarian Brazilian judge—who is closely associated with the country’s socialist leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva—moved to bar access to the Musk-owned website, accusing the tech billionaire of allowing users to foment political unrest and dissent against Lula‘s government.

Neither Joe Biden nor Kamala Harris has spoken on Brazil’s decision to ban X. However, Musk has speculated that Harris may ban the social media platform in the U.S. should she win November’s presidential election.

Ellison is the first Muslim elected to Congress, representing Minnesota’s 5th District from 2007 until 2019, and has long been criticized over his ties to radical left and Islamist groups.

In 2021, the Minnesota Attorney General asked the International Criminal Court (ICC) to intervene in U.S. domestic politics and investigate allegations of racism. Ellison has also been a prominent figure in pushing the Biden-Harris government toward more sympathetic policies regarding the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza.

The National Pulse reported last year that Ellison joined a group of Democrat state Attorneys General who pressed U.S. corporations to double down on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.
