The Biden-Harris regime is aggressively advancing its ideologically charged diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda internationally as well as domestically. In 2022, the government appointed Desiree Cormier Smith as the first Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice at the State Department, a role focused on promoting DEI through international partnerships and prioritizing so-called systemic racism, discrimination, and xenophobia on a global scale.
Smith, whoadmits her position could be axed if former President Donald J. Trump reclaims office, embodies an approach criticized by many as divisive and not grounded in national priorities. Trump has openly stated he may remove officials whose DEI-driven agendas undermine his policies.
“Structural racism, discrimination, and xenophobia are global scourges that require global solutions,” claims Smith, who previously served as a senior policy advisor for George Soros’s Open Society Foundation. She insists “white supremacy” is “a global threat” and that “when we look at racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism, white supremacy is at the top of that.”
Smith’s DEI efforts have crept into national security, with agencies like the National Security Agency (NSA) adopting language directly from Critical Race Theory (CRT) and discouraging intelligence staff from using straightforward terminology on issues like radical Islamic terrorism. DEI’s influence on the military is also strong: the Air Force recently hosted an LGBT Pride event featuring a speaker who promotes gender transitions for minors. The Department of Defense has requested $270 million to fund DEI initiatives.
Critics argue the Biden-Harris government’s DEI-driven approach diverts resources from core national security priorities, undermines unity, and sidelines merit-based policies.

Two Democratic-aligned groups have released a controversial advertisement depicting a fictional Republican legislator interrupting a man masturbating to pornography. The ad, titled “Republicans Rubbing You the Wrong Way,” is a joint effort by Progress Action Fund and Defend the Vote.
The ad portrays the fictitious Republican lawmaker taking a young man’s cellphone, which he was using to watch pornography in bed, and declaring a nationwide pornography ban. It is part of a $2.5 million campaign targeting swing states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Mirroring a similar television campaign regarding abortion and other cultural issues in 2022, the ad has sparked mixed reactions on social media platforms.
The 30-second commercial is scheduled to run on television, online, and streaming services across seven key states: North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Many social media users have reacted negatively. A critic on YouTube pondered the intended audience, while a user on X (formerly Twitter) described it as a desperate move by Democrats.
Some have also questioned the ad’s factual accuracy, as there is no current federal effort to ban pornography. However, some states have passed legal measures to ensure that only those of legal age can view pornographic websites—and that the performers in the videos are consenting adults over the age of 18 years old.
During the 2022 mid-term election, a similar ad was run by Progress Action Fund—though the issue of focus was birth control. In that ad, a fictitious Republican lawmaker stops a couple from having sexual intercourse with the use of a condom. While abortion and contraception access appear to have played a significant role in the midterms, both appear to have been overshadowed by concerns over the economy and illegal immigration among voters in 2024.
Ummm why are Republicans so disgusting?
They want to invade our bedrooms to tell us what to do and are trying to ban pornography (?!?).

With the 2024 presidential election set to be decided in less than two weeks, speculation regarding the potential cabinet picks for both major party candidates is rife. One of the important roles the election victor will choose is who will serve as the United States Attorney General.
While neither former President Donald J. Trump nor Vice President Kamala Harris has publicly stated who they prefer for the role, presidential transition documents and conversations among lawmakers on Capitol Hill have given some idea of who Trump is considering. Among the names being circulated are at least three sitting United States senators, a former acting Attorney General, a conservative legal expert, the former chief of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and a U.S. District Court judge. Here they are, in no particular order:
SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM!?
One name that was floated even before the 2024 election cycle kicked off in earnest is U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). While the pick would likely rankle conservatives and MAGA loyalists alike, Graham does have extensive legal experience and has been a close ally of Trump—even during the 2024 Republican primary.
Before his election to public office, Graham served in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps with the U.S. Air Force—eventually becoming the military service branch’s top prosecutor in Europe. After leaving active duty, Graham worked in private practice as an attorney for several years before being elected to the South Carolina State House of Representatives and, subsequently, the U.S. Congress.
From 2019 until 2021, Graham served as the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and is currently its ranking member. The South Carolina Republican—known for being a bipartisan lawmaker—made waves for his unusually vocal criticism of Democrats over their treatment of Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Graham would represent a wet and compromising approach to the Office of the Attorney General, representing almost no change from the public disaster that was Bill Barr. With Trump only being able to serve one more term, it would be a huge waste of time and indeed an unnecessary risk to appoint someone like Graham.
SENATOR JOSH HAWLEY.
Along with Sen. Graham, another member of the upper house of Congress said to be under consideration for Attorney General is Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). Like Graham, the senior Senator from Missouri has extensive legal experience in private and government practices.
A graduate of Yale Law School, Hawley worked as a lawyer in private practice from 2008 to 2011 before joining the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty as an attorney. While at the Becket Fund, Hawley served on a legal team that won Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores—a Supreme Court decision that held privately-owned, for-profit companies were exempt from Obamacare’s contraception mandate.
In 2016, Hawley was elected as the Attorney General for the State of Missouri, where he served before defeating incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) in 2018. Sen. Hawley serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee and has developed a reputation as an aggressive and formidable interrogator of witnesses brought before the body.
SENATOR ERIC SCHMITT.
Joining Sen. Hawley as a contender for Attorney General is the junior Senator from Missouri, Eric Schmitt. The 49-year-old lawmaker succeeded Hawley as Attorney General for Missouri before being elected to the United States Senate in 2022. Also like Hawley, Schmitt has been an outspoken critic of the Biden-Harris DOJ and its partisan lawfare campaign against President Trump and his allies.
A conservative and populist politician, Schmitt checks a lot of the right boxes for an Attorney General nominee. Additionally, the junior Senator from Missouri has joined Trump on the campaign trail as a confidant, helping with the Republican nominee’s debate preparation ahead of Trump thrashing Joe Biden on CNN in June. Biden’s debate performance was so catastrophic he subsequently quit the presidential race.
As Missouri’s Attorney General, Schmitt worked to invalidate Obamacare. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he sued school districts and municipalities for overstepping their legal authority when implementing mask mandates.
FORMER ACTING AG JEFF CLARK.
One of the most interesting names being circulated is former acting U.S. Attorney General Jeff Clark. The former acting Attorney General in the final days of Trump’s first term in office, Clark has been one of the top targets of the Biden-Harris government’s lawfarecampaign against Trump and his allies.
Clark, a well-known and respected administrative lawyer, was appointed Assistant Attorney General during the Trump administration. During this time, he became concerned about potential voter fraud in the November 2020 election. He has drawn the ire of Democrats for simply authoring an unpublished legal memo on the constitutional actions Georgia state lawmakers could take to challenge the 2020 presidential election results due to allegations of voter fraud.
Two years ago, federal law enforcement agents acting on behalf of the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) raided Clark’s home—though the agency has yet to publicly state why the raid was conducted. Perhaps in anticipation of Clark’s possible appointment to Attorney General, Democrats have been pursuing an effort to strip the attorney from practicing law in the District of Columbia.
A documentary drawing attention to the dubious lawfare campaign against Clark was recently released to the public. Fearless Point of Attack: The Jeff Clark Story features numerous attorneys and others defending Clark, including law professor Robert Destro, who stated, “Jeff is being persecuted, I would argue, because he gave legal advice that he thought was good faith legal advice.”
MIKE DAVIS.
Conservative legal expert Mike Davis is another name that has begun floating around those close to the Trump campaign. Davis, the founder, and president of the Article III Project (A3P), previously served as Sen. Chuck Grassley‘s (R-IA) chief counsel for judicial nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Under Grassley’s chairmanship—and with the aid of Davis—the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmed a historic 85 federal judicial nominees put forward by then-President Trump to lifetime appointments. Among them were two United States Supreme Court Justices, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch.
In addition to his work on judicial and legal matters, Davis heads the Internet Accountability Project (IAP), a nonprofit group aimed at holding Big Tech accountable for its partisan political bias and economic distortions. Davis has been an outspoken proponent of religious liberty, and his deep ties to those in the MAGA and America First movements make him a fan favorite.
On social media, Davis has routinely pointed out the hypocrisy and unprecedented lawfare campaign pushed by Democrats through hyperbolic quips about the actions he’d take as “Acting Attorney General.”
JUDGE AILEEN CANNON.
A somewhat surprising name has also emerged from a leaked document related to Trump’s presidential transition team. The document, titled “Transition Planning: Legal Principals,” lists U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon as a possible choice for Attorney General.
Cannon, nominated by Trump as a federal judge in 2020, gained attention after dismissing a case involving 40 criminal counts against the former president regarding his handling of classified documents post-presidency. Cannon found many issues with the lawfare prosecution, ultimately ruling that the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional. Smith was neither appointed by the president nor confirmed by Congress.
The U.S. District Court judge appears second on the attorney general list, following former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Jay Clayton.
FORMER SEC CHAIRMAN JAY CLAYTON.
Jay Clayton, the former chairman of the SEC, is considered a top contender for Attorney General. With extensive experience in several fields of law as a partner with Sullivan & Cromwell, Clayton has an impressive resume—especially regarding legal representation in the U.S. financial sector.
Clayton was one of the first appointments announced by then-President-elect Donald Trump, being tapped for the role of SEC chairman on January 4, 2017. Interestingly, Clayton’s nomination was endorsed by future Trump antagonist, former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. It was Vance’s office that colluded with Mark Pomerantz in its investigation of Trump regarding an alleged 2016 campaign finance violation and business record fraud.
The dubious case would later be prosecuted by Vance’s successor, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and is currently pending appeal. Some have speculated that Pomerantz pushed Bragg into the prosecution despite its legally questionable grounding.

Following President Donald J. Trump’s agreement to go on the Joe Rogan podcast, his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, is refusing to follow suit, according to her campaign spokesman Ian Sams. On Thursday, Sams stated, “We discussed the possibility with Rogan’s team, but due to current campaign scheduling, it won’t be feasible at this time.”
Reports earlier this month indicated that Harris’s campaign had been communicating with Rogan. His podcast, which had 14.5 million followers on Spotify and an even larger number of YouTube subscribers in March, appeals to a broad audience, including many young men—a demographic the Democratic nominee is struggling to appeal to.
President Trump is set to record an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience on Friday at Rogan’s Austin, Texas studio.
Rogan, who previously argued that foreign-born Americans should be able to run for the presidency and once advocated for a Star Trek-like communist utopia, has been critical of President Trump in the past, suggesting the president may be a “sociopath.” However, he admitted the former president was more mentally capable than Joe Biden, and he recently said that “Trump raising his fist and saying ‘fight!’ after getting shot is one of the most American f***ing things of all time.”
In recent weeks, President Trump has appeared on several major podcasts, including the Theo Von podcast and the Lex Fridman podcast.
Kamala Harris, meanwhile, has been on far fewer podcasts. On one, the sexually explicitCall Her Daddy, she justified not having any of her own children by saying she did not want to be “humble.”

A populist has been elected as Parliament President in Austria for the first time ever following national elections in September. Freedom Party of Austria (FPOe) lawmaker Walter Rosenkranz won the votes of 100 of the 183 deputies in the assembly. Only the Greens unanimously opposed him, while other parties allowed their members to vote freely.
The position is the second-highest office of state after the Federal President and is traditionally awarded to the party that comes first in national elections. The FPOe won in September, beating the notionally center-right Austrian People’s Party (OeVP) into second place.
However, leftist Federal President Alexander van der Bellen has not given the FPOe and its leader, Herbert Kickl, a chance to attempt to form a government despite their victory. Instead, current Chancellor Karl Nehammer of the OeVP, who regards the vaccine skeptic Kickl as a “conspiracy theorist,” has been tasked with trying to form a new government.
ESTABLISHMENT COLLUSION.
Kickl commented on the situation on Facebook, saying to voters, “This may seem like a slap in the face for many of you. But I promise you, the final word hasn’t been spoken yet.” The FPOe and Kickl ran on one of the most anti-mass migration platforms in Europe, with Kickl openly supporting a policy of remigration.
The situation in Austria is part of a broader trend in Europe in which populist parties have won the largest number of votes but have been shut out of governing as no establishment parties will work with them. RINO-like center-right parties like the OeVP generally prefer to form coalitions with green and socialist parties.
In France, for instance, despite Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) being the largest single party in the National Assembly, far-left and globalist parties worked together to deny populistskey positions in the legislature.

Major figures in the Democratic Party appear to be putting distance between themselves and Vice President Kamala Harris in the closing days of the 2024 presidential election. Notably, David Axelrod, former senior adviser to President Barack Obama, blasted Harris’s Wednesday night town hall event on CNN as a “word salad city”—referring to the vice president’s penchant for rattling off nonsensical responses.
A paid CNN contributor, Axelrod noted that Harris often delivers “word salad” responses when she is unwilling to answer questions directly. Even worse, the former top Obama advisor noted that Harris was either unable or unwilling to distance herself from President Joe Biden’s unpopular policies—something he considers a misstep.
“When she doesn’t want to answer a question, her habit is to kind of go to word salad city,” Axelrod said after the televised event. He continued: “And she did that on a couple of answers. One was on Israel. Anderson [Cooper] asked a direct question, ‘Would you be stronger on Israel than Trump?’ And there was a seven-minute answer, but none of it related to the question he was asking.”
Top Democrat strategist David Axelrod on Kamala Harris’ town hall performance:
“When she doesn’t want to answer a question, her habit is to kind of go to word salad city”
“She would acknowledge no concerns about any of the administration’s policies and that’s a mistake”
“On immigration, I thought she missed an opportunity because she would acknowledge no concerns about any of the administration’s policies, and that’s a mistake. Sometimes you have to concede things,” Axelrod continued, adding: “You do want to relate to the people in front of you. She didn’t do a lot of that. She didn’t ask them questions. She didn’t address them particularly. She was giving set pieces too much.”
Harris has seen her campaign stall in the closing weeks of the 2024 election, with internal finger-pointing spilling out into the public. The National Pulse previously reported that Harris’s chaotic Pennsylvania campaign has alienated local Democratic leaders in Philadephia and jeopardized the chances of Democrats winning the critical battleground state.

Former Vice President Mike Pence‘s chief of staff has rejected statements made by General John Kelly, who claims that President Donald J. Trump had previously praised Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and admires fascism. Nick Ayers took to X to refute Kelly, saying, “I’ve avoided commenting on intra-staff leaks or rumors or even lies as it relates to my time at the White House, but General Kelly’s comments regarding President Trump are too egregious to ignore. I was with each of them more than most, and his commentary is *patently false.*”
Kelly, former Chief of Staff to Trump, told the New York Times this week that Trump praised Hitler on several occasions and met his definition of “fascist.” He also claimed that Trump did not want to be seen with veterans who had lost limbs and had called servicemen and women who were injured or died in battle “suckers.”

Trump and his team have refuted similar allegations in the past, when The Atlantic magazine claimed in 2020 that Trump had called troops “suckers” and “losers” during the 100th anniversary of the First World War. John Bolton, who is hostile to Trump and was fired by him, also stated that the president never made the remarks.
Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic, is again pushing a similar story this week, claiming that Trump denigrated murdered U.S. soldier Vanessa Guillén. However, the family of Guillén, particularly her sister Marya, have reject the magazine’s claims.
“President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family [and] Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today,” Marya Guillén stated.

A man in Arizona has been arrested by police over online threats directed at Donald Trump Jr. and political activist Charlie Kirk after the pair had attended a political rally in Tempe last week. Daniel Ashpes, 24, was arrested by police this week after replying to automated messages asking people to RSVP to the Turning Point USA rally featuring Don Jr. and Kirk, held at a local Tempe hotel.
Detectives investigated the matter after being informed that threatening messages had been sent, though police have not expanded on the messages’ content. Following his arrest, Ashpes admitted to sending the messages and was booked on charges of threatening to cause physical injury as well as using a phone to threaten others.
The case comes as the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced this week that a Philadelphia man had been arrested for threatening to skin alive a state party worker looking for poll watcher volunteers. John Pollard faces a possible five-year prison sentence for sending a text message that stated, “GONNA F*CKING FIND YOU AND SKIN YOU ALIVE AND USE YOUR SKIN FOR F*CKING TOILET PAPER, YOU F*CKING KKK*NT!”
Political violence and threats of violence have been a major issue throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, with President Donald J. Trump being shot and one of his supporters killed at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.
Another attempted assassination came in September. Ryan Routh, a Democrat donor with strong connections to Ukraine and the Ukrainian military, was arrested after camping out in a bush at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, with a rifle.
As a result, Trump has halted all golfing plans until after the election. Trump’s campaign has also requested military aircraft and other support measures for enhanced protection.

On Monday, the United States Supreme Court rejected an attempt by disgraced attorney Michael Cohen to keep alive a retaliation lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump.
Cohen alleges Trump retaliated against him, causing his return to prison from home confinement over a critical, tell-all book written by the disbarred lawyer.
The Supreme Court’s decision—which included no comment on the case itself—leaves a string of lower court rulings in place, which dismissed Cohen’s lawsuit based on a 1971 Supreme Court decision. Cohen’s lawsuit was initially dismissed by a U.S. District Court, with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholding the ruling this past January.
Cohen, once a confidant and legal advisor to Trump, shifted to being an outspoken critic in 2018 after pleading guilty to several felonies. These included his involvement in an alleged “hush money” scheme related to the 2016 presidential election. Originally serving a 36-month sentence beginning in May 2019, Cohen was later released to home confinement amid the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, he publicized a forthcoming book critical of Trump.
In July 2020, Cohen met with probation officers who asked him to sign an agreement that required him to refrain from media appearances and not use social media. When Cohen refused to sign and attempted to negotiate a new agreement, he was returned to prison and, according to court records, spent 16 days in solitary confinement.
A federal court subsequently ordered Cohen to be again released on home confinement after his brief return to prison.

Former President Donald J. Trump attended the annual Al Smith Dinner in New York City on Thursday, October 17, roasting Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, who refused to attend.
Trump mocked Harris, saying she couldn’t be there in person because she was receiving Holy Communion from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. This referenced a recent incident where Catholics accused Whitmer of denigrating the Holy Eucharist.
Trump also poked fun at several of the diner’s guests, including Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
