The Los Angeles Times is declining to endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 election despite previously endorsing Democratic candidates in every election cycle since 2008. Owner Patrick Soon-Shiong reportedly blocked the editorial board from endorsing Kamala Harris via executive editor Terry Tang.
The newspaper has not explained its decision, but Semfaor notes the LA Times has “raised eyebrows over several local endorsements it made in recent election cycles of candidates supported by Soon-Shiong’s daughter Nika.”
Nika Soon-Shiong promotes pro-Palestinian politicians and far-left policy positions on issues such as reparations. She frequently posts or reposts content jabbing at the Harris-Walz campaign and the Biden-Harris government for their stance on Israel and other issues on social media.
“Project 2025 is not responsible for FEMA’s $9 billion budget shortfall – announced alongside $8.7 billion in new military ‘aid’ to Israel,” she posted on October 2, in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Harris’s failure to appeal to leftists like Nika Soon-Shiong could cost her the 2024 race, with voters with strong views on Israel and Palestinian issues staying home or voting third party rather than backing a candidate they regard as complicit in Israeli military action in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
Arab Americans, including the mayor of Muslim-majority Hamtramck, are increasingly backing Donald Trump, and the Michigan campaign group that urged Democrats to vote ‘Uncommitted’ rather than for the now-ousted Joe Biden in the Democratic primary is refusing to endorse Harris.

Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, has declared “war” amid allegations that a group linked to Britain’s governing Labour Party, whose founder also advises Vice President Kamala Harris, is actively trying to destroy the platform. “This is war,” Musk said in response to alleged internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), provided to journalist Paul D. Thacker by a whistleblower.
The documents state the CCDH’s annual priorities, including “Kill Musk’s Twitter” and “Trigger EU & UK regulatory action.” According to Thacker, the British group is also heavily tied to the Democrats, holding a private conference with members of the Biden-Harris White House, State Department officials, as well as Canadian New Democrat lawmaker Peter Julian and others.
Morgan McSweeney, the founder of the CCDH, recently became Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s chief of staff in Britain. McSweeney is also said to have advised Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign.
Labour and the Democrats have grown increasingly close this year, as several Labour Members of Parliament (MPs) and senior staffers attended the Democratic National Convention this year.
Around a hundred or more current and former Labour staffers are traveling to the United States to help the Harris campaign in key swing states, fueling accusations of foreign election interference.
Elon Musk, who supports President Trump, has stated that he expects to go to prison if Harris wins the presidency. Currently, several departments of the Biden-Harris regime are engaged in a massive lawfare campaign against the tech billionaire and his companies, such as Tesla, X, and SpaceX.

A Marine Corps veteran alleges she was removed from a Delta Airlines flight last week because of her T-shirt raising awareness regarding veteran suicide. Catherine Banks boarded a Delta flight last Wednesday at San Francisco International Airport, wearing a shirt with the message, “Do not give in to the war within. End veteran suicide.” However, a male flight attendant approached her after boarding, requesting her to leave the plane.
“He said, ‘You need to get off the plane,’ and I was like, ‘What did I do?'” Banks said in a recent interview describing the incident. After deplaning, Banks claims the flight attendant then informed her that the shirt she wore was considered threatening.
“He said that shirt you’re wearing is threatening,” the Marine veteran recalled. She continued: “I said, ‘Are you kidding me? I’m a Marine Corps vet. I’m going to see my Marine sister. I’ve been in the Marine Corps for 22 years and worked for the Air Force for 15 years. I’m going to visit her.’ He said, ‘I don’t care about your service, and I don’t care about her service. The only way you’re going to get back on the plane is if you take it off right now.’”
Eventually, Banks was allowed back on the flight, but was required to sit at the back and consequently missed her connecting flight.
“We appreciate [Banks’s] patience as we continued to work to understand what occurred during this event,” Delta said in a statement on Monday, adding: “Most importantly, we are thankful for her service to our country.” The airline says it considers the matter resolved.

An additional 1,100 prisoners are being released early in England and Wales to address overcrowding. Offenders with sentences exceeding five years will be released after serving 40 percent of their terms. The scheme supposedly excludes those convicted of serious crimes such as violence, sex offenses, and terrorism, but some inmates involved in brutal killings have already been freed.
Labour Party Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood shared details about the initiative on BBC Radio 4, emphasizing the supposed need for alternative punishments outside prison. “Prison has a place, but we must also improve rehabilitation,” she argued.
This comes at a time when anti-immigration protestors are being handed lengthy prison sentences for as little as shouting at police, with one such inmate, a grandfather in his sixties, recently committing suicide.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s releases form part of a wider strategy initiated after the general election to create 5,500 prison spaces by reducing time served to 40 percent, down from the already low 50 percent, which is standard for most prisoners.
The prison population has grown by approximately 4,500 annually, outpacing expansions of prison capacity. The leftist government claims it will create 14,000 new places as a long-term solution to overcrowding, but Justice Secretary Mahmood says she is also considering alternative sentencing options. “We have an opportunity now to reshape and redesign what punishment outside of a prison looks like,” she insists.
The Ministry of Justice faced criticism for errors during past early releases, with some inmates mistakenly freed or not fitted with electronic tracking devices. Concerns about public safety remain, with recall rates for breaches of release conditions reported as high as 50 percent in certain areas.
SOFT JUSTICE.
A review led by Conservative-in-name-only former Justice Secretary David Gauke will examine sentencing alternatives, with a report expected next spring. The review will consider replacing short prison sentences with community sentences.
Despite a narrative that the courts are too quick to imprison, judges are generally soft on criminals—unless they are accused of harboring anti-immigration sentiments or breaching “hate speech” laws. For instance, 80 percent of child pornography convicts are allowed to walk out of court with non-custodial sentences, including top-paid BBC star Huw Edwards.
Mahood’s claims that creating adequate prison places for convicts is impossible are also unlikely to be true. The prisons budget is relatively small—only £6.85 billion (~$8.9 billion), compared to, for instance, £15.4 billion (~$19.9 billion) given away in foreign aid.
In fact, overcrowding as a result of insufficient spending on prison places has been a policy choice for successive governments, from the Conservative administrations of 2010 to July 2024 back to the previous Labour governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

A rally marking the anniversary of the October 7 massacres in Israel in the heart of the European Union (EU) saw an unidentified Islamist preacher allegedly yell, “Allah, burn the Jews!” The rally, which took place on October 7 in the EU capital of Brussels, Belgium, in front of the city’s Stock Exchange, was organized by the pro-Palestinian group United for Palestine.
Video has emerged of the rally, with several conservative Belgian politicians speaking out, including lawmaker Michael Freilich of the New Flemish Alliance, who introduced several questions to the Belgian parliament regarding the incident.
Sam van Rooy of the populist Vlaams Belang party also spoke out on the incident in parliament, saying, “According to research, more than half of the Muslims in Belgium have anti-Semitic ideas.”
“The Quran is at least as anti-Semitic as Mein Kampf. According to the Quran and the Hadith, Christians and unbelievers are also inferior beings who must be oppressed and killed,” he added.
“Allah, brûle les Juifs” : La Ligue belge contre l’antisémitisme saisit le parquet
Lundi 7 octobre 2024, une foule haineuse a célébré le premier anniversaire des pogroms du 7 octobre à la Bourse de Bruxelles, en appelant au meurtre des Juifs.
While the preacher who called for the killing of Jews was a speaker at the event, the identity of the man is unknown, and the organizers have refused to tell local media. They did, however, condemn “hatred towards the Jewish people” in a statement.
The Belgian League Against Anti-Semitism announced they would be referring the issue to the public prosecutor’s office, calling for criminal charges to be brought against the preacher and others.
Since Hamas slaughtered over 1,000 civilians on October 7, 2023, in Israel, anti-Semitism in Europe has surged, with Jews in countries like France expressing fear for their future.

A federal judge has ordered former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to hand over a significant amount of personal property to be placed in receivership. The judge has given Giuliani seven days to comply.
The order includes the former mayor’s Manhattan penthouse apartment, along with several luxury items and jewelry. The receivership determination comes as Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss have sought to collect on the $148 million defamation judgment they won against Giuliani.
Once the personal property is transferred, the appointed receiver will determine how Giuliani’s property will be used to settle the judgment. However, the penthouse will be transferred separately so that Freeman and Moss can move to sell the domicile, which is potentially worth millions of dollars. Judge Lewis Liman’s order does not include a determination on whether Giuliani will be able to keep his Palm Beach, Florida, condominium or four New York Yankees World Series rings, which his son contends were gifted to him.
Late last year, Freeman and Moss won the massive defamation judgment after a federal judge ruled Giuliani had defamed the two women in August. The defamation case stemmed from claims made by the former mayor and confidant of President Donald J. Trump that Freeman and Moss had engaged in a ballot fraud scheme in Fulton County, Georgia, during the 2020 presidential election.
It is not yet clear whether Giuliani and his attorneys intend to seek a stay on the receivership order or appeal the decision.

The Georgia Supreme Court has blocked a Republican-backed mandate that would have required poll workers to hand-count ballots during the 2024 election. The court’s unanimous decision prevents the rule, which would have helped ensure election integrity in the Peach State. It is unclear at this point whether the case can be further appealed, though The National Pulse understands that advocates for the rules are actively exploring their options in real-time.
The mandate, pushed by three members of the state election board, would have forced poll workers to manually tally ballots cast at each precinct and compare them to machine counts. While it wouldn’t require the hand-counting of actual votes, supporters claimed the measure would catch early errors and boost public trust in the process.
State officials linked to Republican-In-Name-Only (RINO) Governor Brian Kemp complained it would do the opposite by “overburdening” poll workers. As a result, a RINO-group called Eternal Vigilance Action filed the case with the State Supreme Court.
Eternal Vigilance Action is run by local Kemp ally Scot Turner, who is also a part of the local Peach Politics blog founded by anti-Trump commentator Erick Erickson. Turner recently wrote on his blog: “Trump can, in fact, still earn my vote. To do so, all he needs to do is lick the bottom of Brian Kemp’s shoes clean after he has accidentally stepped in a pile of dog crap at one of Marty Kemp’s pet adoption events at the Governor’s Mansion. And I am going to need to see it in person. After that, I will gladly vote for Trump, but not until then.”
Erickson is most recently known for his anti-Trump, pro-Ron DeSantis activism during the Republican Party primary.
In addition to blocking the hand-count rule, the court also rejected a separate election board measure allowing a “reasonable inquiry” into results before certification, further preventing delays and potential disruptions to the election process.
Though the court’s ruling prevents these rules from taking effect in the upcoming election, it indicated that the board’s power to issue such regulations could be reviewed in the future.
We will continue to fight for the Constitution, separation of powers, and traditional conservative values, like not having unelected appointees make new law.

Former President Donald J. Trump will record an interview with UFC commentator, stand-up comic, and top podcaster Joe Rogan on Friday, as predicted by The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief back in August.
The Joe Rogan Experiencepodcast is one of the biggest platforms online, boasting over 14 million followers on Spotify and over 16 million followers on YouTube.
Raheem Kassam said in late August that he “expect[ed] Trump to sit for a Rogan interview in the last week of October” in an “October Surprise for “Bernie-Trump voters.”
The National Pulse chief described these voters, whom Trump has been reaching through surrogates such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, as “crunchy-ish,” sharing Trump’s anti-war views but also concerned with “lifestyle” issues such as seed oils in foods and “what their clothes are made of.”
Rogan is himself a former Bernie Sanders supporter and an admirer of RFK Jr., and he frequently discusses the importance of fitness, nutrition, and nature on his podcast.
Despite taking flak from left-liberal media for his views on, for instance, vaccines and biological males in women’s sports, Rogan has long insisted he is “a bleeding heart liberal when it comes to a lot of s**t,” including abortion, homosexual marriage, and welfare.
While he endorsed Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary in 2020, Rogan said prior to that year’s election that he would “rather vote for Trump than [Joe Biden],” citing the latter’s poor cognitive condition.
In June 2022, he offered Florida Governor Ron DeSantis a quasi-endorsement, saying he was “not perfect” but “would work as a good president.” The following month, he excoriated Trump, saying, “I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form. I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once, I’ve said no every time. I don’t want to help him, I’m not interested in helping him.”
Most recently, he said independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was “the only one that makes sense to me.” Since then, RFK Jr. has endorsed Trump. Rogan’s stance on Trump may have softened around the same time, with the podcaster saying that “Trump raising his fist and saying ‘fight!’ after getting shot is one of the most American f***ing things of all time.”

Former President Donald J. Trump‘s legal team has threatened legal action against CBS News if the network does not publish the full transcript of its 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The controversy centers on differing versions of Harris’s response to a question about Israel. A promotional clip of the interview showed a long, rambling answer. However, the version of the interview that went to air shows an entirely different, more assured answer, with the original not present even in the interview’s written transcript.
Attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik, representing Trump, accuses CBS of manipulative editing intended to confuse voters about Harris’s capabilities, presenting her in a more favorable light. He argues that news outlets have a duty to present accurate information rather than skew interviews to benefit a preferred candidate. Trump’s legal team has requested the release of the complete, unedited transcript to the public, emphasizing the network’s obligation to retain all related documents and communications for potential litigation.
CBS claims the disparity results from using different sections of the same answer in their programming. A statement released by 60 Minutes says that an excerpt given to Face the Nation included a lengthier segment than what was eventually broadcast. The network maintains that the excerpts were part of one consistent response—but the originally released version of Harris’s answer is not just longer, it is completely different.
On Truth Social, Trump denounced the editing as potentially the biggest scandal in broadcast history and demanded CBS release the full transcript, alleging that Harris’s response was altered significantly to enhance her image.
BREAKING: 60 minutes just quietly *edited out* Kamala’s word salad answer on Israel. Unreal.

Several county election websites in Florida experienced outages this week as early in-person voting commenced across the state. These disruptions impacted sites containing essential state election information, including voting locations and times.
According to state election officials, an investigation is ongoing to determine the cause. Initial suggestions point to heavy web traffic as a potential factor. The websites appeared to have been restored to working order by Tuesday.
VR Systems, a Tallahassee-based tech company providing hosting services for these election sites, acknowledged some sites began experiencing crashes last week. However, the company insists there is currently “no indication of malicious activity,” ruling out cyberattacks for the time being.
This incident echoes a similar situation from August, when county election websites faced outages, igniting fears of possible cyberattacks. Although the Florida Secretary of State, Cord Byrd, initially did not dismiss the possibility of hacking, VR Systems later accepted responsibility for the glitches.
Some counties, like Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas, offered backup versions of their websites, ensuring the availability of vital information for voters. Joe Scott, the election supervisor for Broward County, expressed concerns that the issues could be linked to those from the summer. However, VR Systems claims that significant changes were implemented, and outside experts were consulted to prevent recurrence.
Despite the website disruptions, in-person voting in Florida continued unaffected. Wesley Wilcox, the elections supervisor in Marion County, reported a strong early voter turnout. “All my early voting sites opened at 8 AM, and there were people in line at every one of them,” he said.
