Nevada’s Latino Voters Sour on Biden and Harris as State Slides Towards Trump.

Nevada’s Latino voters comprise nearly 20 percent of the crucial swing state’s electorate, making them an essential demographic for any presidential campaign wanting to win the state this November. For Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, however, concerns over the economy, illegal immigration, inflation, and Biden’s health have seen their support among the state’s Latino voters plummet.

Speaking with The Washington Post, Nevada‘s Latino and Hispanic voters aired their frustrations with Biden and the Democratic Party. They expressed frustration with the cost of everyday goods, job competition with illegal immigrants, public safety, and disillusionment that Biden will fulfill his campaign promises.

“I’m an immigrant, and I see that Democrats have been promising us immigration reform for years, and at the end of the day, we’re being ignored,” David Mungia, who works at a Nevada hospital, said in an interview. He added: “I want someone to earn my vote. Right now, I think Trump could offer us more than Biden.”

While some Democrats are looking to replace Biden with Harris at the top of the presidential ticket following the incumbent’s disastrous June 27 debate performance, she also struggles to appeal to Nevada’s Latinos. “I support us girls, and I would love to see a woman run the country, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen,” said Isabella Bello, a 21-year-old nursing student who revealed she’s voting for former President Donald J. Trump.

“She’s been on [Biden’s] side all this time and nothing was done on her side either as vice president. I think people want change for our country, and she isn’t that,” Bello added.

Recent polling has shown nearly two-thirds of Latinos support Trump’s plan to deport illegal aliens. Meanwhile, data shows that Latino and Hispanic voters overwhelmingly disapprove of Biden‘s handling of the U.S. border crisis.

Dem Election Lawyer Marc Elias Is Defending Left-Wing Dark Money ‘News’ Operation.

Democratic election attorney and Russian collusion hoaxer Marc Elias is working to carve out a new avenue for backing candidates through ‘dark money‘-funded websites presenting as media outlets. Elias’s law firm is representing a liberal political website that claims to be a legitimate news outlet despite its primary content and activities more closely resembling a Super PAC.

The Morning Mirror, operated by Star Spangled Media, presents as a general-interest news blog that publishes a random assortment of stories without an author’s byline. However, as the 2024 election cycle kicked off, the blog began pushing stories touting certain Democratic candidates‘ records on abortion, with Star Spangled Media subsequently boosting these posts through digital advertising.

By claiming to be a for-profit media operation, however, Star Spangled Media can avoid standard campaign finance disclosures and could serve as a conduit for nearly untraceable Democratic ‘dark money.’

CAMPAIGN FINANCE QUESTIONS.

Star Spangled Media and The Morning Mirror’s partisan stories and digital ads are drawing scrutiny from Arizona‘s campaign finance regulator, the Arizona Citizens Clean Election Commission. The commission is investigating whether the media network is really a political entity—such as a political action committee (PAC)—that should be subject to the state’s campaign finance disclosure laws. Elias’s law firm, representing Star Spangled Media, insists the operation is a journalistic endeavor, not a political one.

“Star Spangled Media is a for-profit media company that is in the business of publishing and distributing original news stories, commentaries, and editorials,” Jonathan S. Berkon, an attorney at the Elias Group, argued in a letter to the commission in late May. Berkon contends that the ads are paid for through for-profit revenue, meaning Star Spangled Media is not a “covered person” under the state’s campaign finance law.

Despite indications that Star Spangled Media is a PAC moonlighting as a media company, the election commission maintains that without additional information, it cannot determine whether the Democrat-aligned organization violated the state’s campaign finance laws. The commission contends “it is impossible… to determine whether its political articles—many of which appear to be generated by using campaign created media—go through the same process as its non-political articles.”

“Because the Commission cannot conclude the press exception applies, the Commission cannot conclude that Star Spangled Media is not a covered person and does not intend to engage in campaign media spending,” the Arizona Citizens Clean Election Commission added, concluding: “Equally importantly, however, the Commission is not concluding the opposite—simply put more facts about Star Spangled Media’s internal operations and news presence in Arizona would be necessary for the Commission to reach a reasoned conclusion about whether the press exception applies.”

‘Self-Destruction’ – MSNBC’s Brzezinski Attacks Pelosi for Refusing to Back Biden.

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski has attacked Rep. Nancy Pelosi for refusing to endorse Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, complaining that Democrats are fueling their own “self-destruction.” Pressed to back Biden, the former House speaker equivocated, saying it was “up to the President to decide if he is going to run.”

“We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short… and people want him to make that decision,” Pelosi said—despite Biden insisting the decision has been made and he is staying in the race, repeatedly and unambiguously.

“I think we all ought to take a close look, especially Democrat, at ourselves because there is a bit of self-destruction that is happening here. I really disagree with Nancy Pelosi, with her remarks,” Brzezinski complained. “She’s a close family friend. But Joe Biden is the president of the United States, and he says he’s not leaving. Those are his words. I suggest somebody think about, consider, believing him,” she added.

Since Biden’s disastrous debate with Donald Trump, Brzezinski’s co-host and husband, Joe Scarborough, has been less supportive of the 81-year-old incumbent. Despite having previously said that “this version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever,” he joined the chorus of pundits suggesting he should go after the debate.

“If he were CEO, and he turned in a performance like that, would any corporation in America keep him on as CEO?” Scarborough demanded.

Georgia Elections Board Moves to Enhance Vote Integrity with New Rule.

In a three-to-one decision, the Georgia State Election Board has amended state election rules to ensure the number of ballots cast is the number of ballots counted for each day of voting. According to the rule change, the poll manager and two witnesses—sworn in as poll officers—will remove the ballots from the scanner box and present the votes to three independent poll officers for a hand count.

Each poll officer will proceed to count through the ballots cast. Once each of the three officers concludes their count, they must sign a control document denoting their tally. If the numbers of each count do not match with each other and align with the voting machine count, then the poll manager is directed to immediately identify the source of the inconsistency and correct it if possible.

Consistent ballot counts and custody have been an ongoing concern in U.S. elections, especially in Georgia. The National Pulse reported in May that a bombshell investigation by the Georgia Secretary of State’s office found that Fulton County had implemented improper procedures during its 2020 presidential election recount. Even more concerning, Fulton County election officials could not account for thousands of ballot images from their initial scanning. Additionally, duplicate images of some ballot scans were discovered, implying that votes may have been counted multiple times.

The Georgia State Election Board responded by issuing a letter of reprimand to the county and assigning a monitor to supervise the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Fulton County’s representative, Jessica Corbitt, claims that no proof of fraud has been found, and that the county is focusing on upgrading its election procedures and infrastructure.

NYC Hotels Take Over $1 Billion from Taxpayers for Hosting Illegals.

New York City hotel bosses have raked in over a billion dollars converting their premises into migrant shelters so far. Mayor Eric Adams‘s city government expends an average of $156 per room per night on accommodation for illegal aliens, with some rooms costing more than $300 per night. Since the onset of the crisis, the city’s total spending on the migrant influx has reached approximately $4.88 billion, with $1.98 billion expended on housing illegals.

Internal documents indicate that about 80 percent of these shelters are motels or inns. However, the city has also made contracts with larger hotels, including a $5.13 million-per-month deal with the Row NYC hotel in Midtown Manhattan and a $2 million-per-month agreement with the Crowne Plaza JFK in South Jamaica, Queens.

Some shelter deals benefit foreign states, with the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, now a processing center and temporary shelter for illegals, belonging to the Pakistani government.

In September, officials extended a contract with the Hotel Association of New York City (HANYC) for three years for $1.3 billion. Another deal, valued at $76.69 million, was signed in January to provide shelter across 15 hotels in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx through July.

Several hotels used to house migrants are luxury accommodations, such as the Hotel Le Jolie in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn and the Square Hotel on Broadway.

Local business owners are expressing concerns about the negative impact of these shelters, which often host criminals and repel the public, on their own businesses. Some fear they will have to close due to lost revenue.

Other Democrat-run states have been dealing with similar issues. In Massachusetts, whistleblowers describe how migrants are not only getting free hotel rooms but also free tablets, toys, healthcare, and more.

Dems Launch Lawfare Effort Targeting Clarence Thomas Over Recent SCOTUS Rulings.

Two Senate Democrats are asking Joe Biden‘s Attorney General Merrick Garland to authorize a special counsel investigation targeting Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The move by Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is a shocking escalation in Democrat efforts to force Justice Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito from the high court’s bench—and seen by some as political retribution for the court’s recent rulings.

The two far-left Democrats announced late Tuesday that they sent the letter requesting a special counsel to Biden‘s Attorney General last week. In a statement, Wyden and Whitehouse made vague and unsubstantiated accusations against Justice Thomas—alleging amorphous ethics violations and tax crimes.

“The evidence assembled thus far plainly suggests that Justice Thomas has committed numerous willful violations of federal ethics and false-statement laws and raises significant questions about whether he and his wealthy benefactors have complied with their federal tax obligations,” the two Democrat Senators claimed, noting—for dramatic effect—that, “We do not make this request lightly.”

If Garland approves the special counsel investigation it would mark the latest Biden government lawfare campaign targeting a high-profile conservative.

An internal review of the gifts and other benefits Supreme Court justices have received found no evidence of wrongdoing by any of the high court’s members. Despite the lack of ethics violations, the Supreme Court—under the director of Chief Justice John Roberts—released an updated ethics code late last year.

The National Pulse reported in June that the Supreme Court’s newest member, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, earned nearly $1 million from her memoir last year. This disclosure has received almost no scrutiny from Democrats, despite the revelation that Justice Sonia Sotomayor bullied public institutions to purchase copies of her book in the past.

Yet Another State Is Sending Voter Registration Forms to Noncitizens.

Noncitizens living in California are receiving voter registration forms after renewing their driver’s licenses. In at least one instance, a noncitizen who checked the box on the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) paperwork denoting that they are not a U.S. citizen still received a voter registration form in the mail.

At least 19 states and the District of Columbia allow noncitizens to obtain driver’s licenses through their state’s DMV. Meanwhile, the National Voter Registration Act requires state DMVs to provide an option for those obtaining or renewing a driver’s license to register to vote on the same form. If a noncitizen claims to have U.S. citizenship—by simply checking a box—they will likely be added to voter rolls unless those rolls are examined with extra scrutiny.

Like the other 18 states and Washington, D.C., California lacks additional laws requiring more stringent proof of citizenship for voter registration. This makes the likelihood of noncitizens illegally voting in state and federal elections a genuine concern.

While the U.S. government’s mandated transition to REAL ID should prevent noncitizens from being able to register to vote through their driver’s license application—as they cannot obtain a REAL ID under federal law—some states are already carving out loopholes. In May, The National Pulse reported that Illinois lawmakers are considering legislation that would still allow noncitizens to obtain a standard state-issued driver’s license—with applicants being automatically registered to vote unless they initially decline the option.

The National Pulse has previously reported that at least 37 noncitizens in North Carolina faced federal prosecution for illegally voting in U.S. elections. Additionally, an analysis of those cases suggests noncitizens are three times as likely to vote for Democrat candidates.

WATCH: Woke Activists Complain Harsher Punishment of Pedophiles Will Impact ‘Marginalized’ LGBTQ and Ethnic Minority Predators.

California legislation making it a felony to solicit sex acts from minors is facing opposition from leftist activists. They argue the stronger penalties for such solicitation in Senate Bill 1414, put forward by State Senator Shannon Grove, would imprison too many pedophiles from LGBTQ and ethnic minority backgrounds.

“We are particularly concerned that the harsher penalties proposed in this bill will disproportionately impact marginalized communities, especially members of the LGBTQ community who already suffer from systematic biases within the criminal justice system, particularly when it comes to sexually-based offenses,” complained Kellie Walters, representing the Legal Services for Prisoners with Children organization, at a California State Assembly Public Safety Committee hearing.

“LGBTQ people, particularly gay and transgendered individuals, are more likely to be charged with sex offenses… For instance, LGBTQ people are nine times more likely to be charged with sodomy,” Walters said.

ETHNIC MINORITIES. 

Isabella Borgeson, representing the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights organization, also complains that “harsher penalties” for pedophiles would “disproportionately impact marginalized communities.” She stressed “black and brown individuals” rather than homosexuals and transgenders.

Borgeson, wearing a mask, argued that “punitive measures” for pedophiles would “perpetuate cycles of incarceration,” recommending investment in “community-based solutions” instead.

In the past year, several high-profile LGBT activists have been linked to child abuse, including Canadian LGBTQ organization chief Sean Gravells. He was arrested on child sex abuse and pornography charges in British Columbia.

Last month, the head of the Maryland Democrat LGBT caucus, Michael Knaapen, was caught sending nude photographs and discussing rape fantasies with a person he believed to be a minor.

Lawfare: French Prosecutors Announce Investigation of Le Pen.

Prosecutors confirmed on Tuesday that they have initiated a preliminary investigation into supposedly illicit financing of National Rally leader Marine Le Pen’s 2022 presidential election. Le Pen’s populist party won the European elections in France, and the greatest share of the popular vote in the subsequent snap national elections called by President Emmanuel Macron.

Reports indicate that other candidates in the 2022 presidential election are also under investigation but, unlike Le Pen, they have not been named. The judicial probe focuses on allegations of misappropriation of funds, fraud, and forgery.

Last year, French prosecutors threatened Le Pen with a possible one million euro fine and up to ten years in prison over allegations of misusing European Union (EU) funds. Previously, prosecutors pursued her for disseminating violent messages, after she posted images of Islamic State atrocities. This ended in an acquittal—with the courts recognizing she was clearly criticizing rather than glorifying the jihadist group.

The lawfare campaign against Le Pen is similar to the one against former President Donald J. Trump in the United States. Joe Biden’s Justice Department and state-level Democrat prosecutors have launched multiple cases against Trump, but after numerous adverse rulings for prosecutors, it is likely that only one dubious conviction in Manhattan will be in place at the time of the November election.

ABC News’s Stephanopoulos: ‘I Don’t Think Biden Can Serve Four More Years.’

ABC News host and former Clinton family political operative George Stephanopoulos offered a brutally honest answer when asked if he thought Joe Biden should step down. In an almost knee-jerk reaction, the Democrat operative turned newsman said he didn’t think Biden could make it four more years.

“Do you think Biden should step down? You’ve talked to him more than anybody else has lately,” he was asked in New York City by a man surreptitiously filming the encounter on his cell phone. The ABC News host responded: “I don’t think he can serve four more years.”

On Tuesday night, Stephanopoulos and ABC News admitted that it was, in fact, him in the video. Through a spokesman, the news host said: “Earlier today, I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have.” Additionally, ABC News stressed that Stephanopoulos’s words were his own and not representative of the network.

Last Friday, Stephanopoulos was the first corporate media figure to interview the 81-year-old Joe Biden after his disastrous June 27 presidential debate performance. The 20-minute, pre-recorded interview offered little reassurance to Democrats worried about Biden’s readily apparent cognitive decline.

In a moment that undercut one of Biden’s key campaign issues—that Trump is an existential threat to democracy—the octogenarian Democrat was asked by Stephanopoulos how he’ll feel if he stays in the race and Trump wins. “I’ll feel, as long as I gave it my all, and I did as good a job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about,” Biden responded.
