NBC Grants Trump Campaign Airtime During NASCAR, NFL After Harris SNL Spot.

Broadcaster NBC has granted the campaign of President Donald J. Trump a 90-second ad spot amig allegations the surprise appearance of Kamala Harris on Saturday Night Live (SNL) violated FCC rules. Harris’s brief appearance on SNL was for one minute and 30 seconds, allowing other presidential campaigns to request equal airtime—about 90 seconds—per FCC regulations.

Harris’s SNL sketch, featuring Maya Rudolph, concluded with both discussing the vice president’s campaign. The sketch, however, was criticized by FCC commissioner Brendan Carr, who stated before the show aired, “This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule.”

Carr also noted that SNL creator Lorne Michaels had previously stated in an interview last month that the show would not feature Harris or Trump because of the equal time rules.

Trump’s ad, meanwhile, appeared during Sunday’s NASCAR playoff broadcast. In it, Trump wore a red “Make America Great Again” cap and warned that electing Harris could lead to a “depression.” The ad urges viewers to vote.

Additionally, Trump received 60 extra seconds of airtime during NBC’s Sunday Night Football post-game coverage. The same ad from the NASCAR event aired after the game, closely following a paid campaign advertisement.

Republican Early Voting Surges in Pennsylvania Ballot Returns.

Returned ballots in Pennsylvania suggest that Republican voters are casting far more early votes than in 2022 and are leading Democrats in 40 counties, compared to just two in 2022. Over 587,000 registered Republicans have voted early in the crucial swing state, an increase of over 323,000 compared to 2022. Democrats, who are more likely to vote early, have seen a smaller increase since 2022 of just over 140,000 votes, for a total of 997,450 overall.

When looking at 2020 numbers, Republicans have 30,692 fewer ballots returned, but Democrats have a massive 721,276 fewer returned ballots. At the county level, the GOP led the Democrats in just eight counties in 2020, a number which fell to just two counties in 2022. This year, the GOP leads the Democrats in 40 counties going into tomorrow’s election.

Prior data indicates that newly registered women dominate the early voting in Pennsylvania, with many voting Democrat. As of October 30, the state had seen at least 100,000 new voters cast their ballots early in the election.

Polling puts Trump only slightly ahead of Harris in the state. The final Emerson College Polling poll released Monday, November 4, gave President Donald J. Trump 49 percent and Vice President Kamala Harris 48 percent, well within the margin of error.

Over the weekend, the Harris campaign implied it would force key counties in battleground states like Pennsylvania to keep counting votes until Harris wins.

The Trump campaign also won an important victory in the state after Democrats and police shut down lines of voters requesting absentee ballots, as a court allowed the absentee process to be opened for several days ahead of tomorrow’s election.

U.S. Non-Profits Investigated Over Terror Ties.

The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee is pushing state attorneys general to begin investigations into at least six tax-exempt organizations potentially linked to foreign terrorist activities. In a series of letters released earlier this week, Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) notified officials in the states of Washington, New York, Virginia, Arizona, California, and Texas that certain organizations may be operating beyond their tax-exempt mandates, promoting antisemitism, and engaging in unlawful activities.

Chairman Smith notes that these non-profits all appear to be “operating outside their tax-exempt purpose, fueling antisemitic activities, and potentially engaging in activity that violates both state and federal law,” adding the grounds to revoke their tax-exempt status.

Among the organizations singled out is The Palestine Chronicle, a nonprofit media company in Washington State, accused of employing a Hamas operative. The operative was reportedly involved in holding Israeli hostages, leading to his death during a subsequent rescue operation.

In addition to Washington, New York’s Attorney General Letitia James (D) has been asked to look into the Westchester People’s Action Coalition and The People’s Forum. These groups stand accused of promoting antisemitism by allegedly supporting riots. Virginia’s Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) has similarly been prompted to investigate the Americans for Justice in Palestine Educational Foundation and American Muslims for Palestine for also potentially inciting riots.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) received a request to pursue the Alliance for Global Justice, citing ties with Samidoun, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. Letters sent to California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) also outlined suspicions regarding other nonprofits—including the Tides Foundation—and their possible illegal affiliations with terrorist groups.

ICYMI: Top Kamala Surrogate: ‘F**k White Women.’

Cora Masters Barry—the widow of the late Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Barry—slammed Democrats for being overly focused on white women voters. During a Zoom call with Rolling Out CEO Munson Steed, she emphatically insisted: “F**k white women.” The recently resurfaced remarks came in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election and were followed by a racist diatribe by the black feminist and activist who has met with Kamala Harris and other White House officials dozens of times.

‘F**K WHITE WOMEN.’

“We have to change our strategy… got to get our people. We have to get our—they got their people. They got all the trailer parks all covered. All them people up in West Virginia and the hills, they’re covered. They got them all the way there to Wall Street,” Barry said on the call, complaining that Democrats were pandering to white female voters at the expense of black women.

She continued: “[Trump] did that, and we’re sitting here talking about the white women. F**k the white women—excuse me—forget the white women. They’re going to do what the white men tell them to do.”


Barry is an outspoken supporter of Vice President Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee. She also serves as a commissioner on Washington, D.C.’s Commission on the Arts and the Humanities.

“They be smiling in their faces, they want to stay in charge,” Barry’s racist diatribe continued. She added: “I don’t care nothing about them, we got to do what we got to do.”

PLANNING FOR KAMALA 2024?

During the same appearance with Steed, Barry and fellow activist Melanie Campbell appeared to back a Harris presidential run—stating the next president needed to be a black woman. “And that’s not going to happen if we don’t reach all of our black people, because they’re the ones who are going to put her in there,” Barry said. “Those white folks ain’t going to put her in there.”

In 2022, during a memorial event for her late husband, Barry heaped praise on infamous anti-white racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. “Minister Farrakhan, we love you more than you love us. You just don’t know it,” she said.

White House Caught Stealth Editing Transcript of Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Remarks.

The White House communications team is facing increasing scrutiny for editing an official transcript to make it appear President Joe Biden did not use the term “garbage” to describe supporters of President Donald J. Trump. Notably, Representatives James Comer (R-KY) and Elise Stefanik (R-NY) believe the White House may have violated the Presidential Records Act in editing the transcript—potentially a federal crime.

Late Tuesday evening, the 81-year-old Democrat referred to Trump supporters as “garbage” during a Kamala Harris campaign web call with the far-left Voto Latino group. The remarks were promptly aired on CNN, drawing almost immediate backlash and a confused response from the White House—including what appears to be two different transcripts.

The controversy centers on an apostrophe the White House communications team added to “supporters” in Biden’s remarks. The simple grammatical marking changes the entire context of what Biden clearly said in the video. In the video, Biden clearly states: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His, his, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.”

In the immediate aftermath of the scandal, the White House communications staff refused to go on the record about whether they spoke with Biden after the remarks or how they knew what he intended to say, sowing further confusion.

Across social media, the reaction from Republican strategists and Trump supporters was swift. Consultant and GOP strategist Matt Whitlock accused the administration of “flat-out lying” in the altered transcript.

Additionally, Reps. Comer and Stefanik’s letter to White House Counsel Edward Siskel notes he should “retain and preserve all documents and internal communications related to President Biden’s statement and the release of the inaccurate transcript.”

Trump Invites Muslim Man Ejected from Harris Rally to Star in Ad.

Over the weekend, the campaign of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris expelled a Muslim man from a rally in Michigan, prompting the campaign of Donald J. Trump to offer him a place in a new campaign ad. Ahmed Ghanim, a Democrat and former congressional candidate, was contacted by Donald Trump’s campaign about appearing in an advertisement shortly after being ejected from a Harris rally in Michigan without explanation.

Ghanim, who had challenged a pro-Israel member of Congress earlier this year, declined the offer but has been deeply critical of the Harris campaign. He criticized Harris’s campaign for inadequate engagement with Arab and Muslim voters, noting the potential benefit for Trump.

Ghanim had been present at the rally to observe, not protest, but was escorted out by security after being directed to leave. His subsequent social media post, “No Muslims allowed at the Harris Rally in Michigan,” drew considerable attention.

Ghanim recognized the strategic timing of Trump’s outreach to him, suggesting it might influence some Muslim voters.

In September, the mayor of Hamtramck, a city in Michigan with a Muslim-majority population, stated his support for Trump. Mayor Amer Ghalib called Trump a man of principles and expressed confidence in his leadership.

Earlier this month, a group of Michigan Muslim leaders also backed Trump. Imam Belal Alzuhairi stated that Trump could stop bloodshed from occurring across the globe.

‘You Cannot Have a Governing Party in This Country That Calls Most of America Nazis.’

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, says the extreme and alienating rhetoric employed by the Democratic Party and their 2024 presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, is the “primal scream of a dying regime” and declaring over half the country to be Nazis and fascists makes governing nearly impossible. Speaking on War Room with host and former Trump White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon, Kassam encouraged voters to get to the polls and vote, emphasizing: “This cannot stand any further. You cannot have a governing party in this country that calls most of America Nazis.”

“The interesting part of it, I think, is that they are fighting themselves over this fascism stuff,” Kassam tells Bannon, noting a recent spate of op-eds and public infighting between Democrats over the Harris campaign’s extreme rhetoric. He continues: “You’re starting to see op-eds pop-up in Newsweek and stuff saying ‘Look, we cannot do that, it’s not working, it’s not right, it’s not fair.'”

HARRIS CAMPAIGN PANIC?

Dissent among some Democrats over the Harris campaign’s insistence on likening former President Donald J. Trump to Adolf Hitler and his supporters to Nazis does appear to be growing. The Future Forward SuperPAC—run by Joe Biden ally and liberal messaging guru Anita Dunn—has warned the Harris campaign that focusing too much on the ‘fascism’ attacks will likely backfire and hurt the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.

Kassam goes on to note that the extreme attacks even implicate recent supporters of Trump. “And by the way, recent Americans who have come to Donald Trump—they either came through RFK, or maybe they came from Elon-world, or Make America Healthy Again-world—they’re now being called fascist,” he said, adding: “These are people three, four months ago the Democrats would have counted on their side.”

“Tulsi Gabbard was a Democrat—a Democratic Congresswoman; Robert Kennedy comes from the most storied family in modern Democratic politics; Elon Musk was a progressive and a Democrat for a long time,” Bannon interjected, emphasizing that the Democratic Party, “will go to any length to stop President Trump.”

Bannon’s Back: ‘We’ve Never Been So Powerful.’

Stephen K. Bannon returned to host the War Room after four months in federal prison, telling the establishment and the Democrats that he is even more focused than before, promising a “knockout blow” to the Democrats on November 5. The former Trump White House Chief Strategist went immediately on the offensive, pushing back at accusations that President Donald J. Trump and his supporters are “fascists.”

“I can tell you in coming from and being a political prisoner in a federal prison, that the young men in this country that are African-American and Hispanic detest Kamala Harris,” Bannon said.

Meanwhile, his message to former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whom he holds responsible for putting him in prison, was: “This show has never been more powerful. The audience has never been more powerful. And we’re going to deliver a knockout blow to your progressive insanity on the Fifth of November.”

HIGH ENERGY.

Despite only being released hours before the October 29 broadcast, Bannon said he was “more energized and more focused than I’ve ever been in my entire life.” He noted that the Harris campaign’s ‘Joy’ message was “ill-defined” and that the Democrats have pivoted to a “Night falls on America” narrative, claiming the Trump movement is now a fascist movement. “That is a bald-faced lie, and it’s a dangerous lie,” he said.

Bannon was eligible for early release under the First Step Act in September but was kept in federal prison for his entire term after he was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to obey the corrupt January 6 Committee.

State Dept. Official Peddling DEI Via U.S. Foreign Policy.

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, who admits 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.

Dems Face Backlash Over Pro-Porn Ad.

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.
