Massive Jobs Numbers Fail On Eve of U.S. Election.

Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, the latest U.S. jobs report reveals a deteriorating economic situation. October’s employment gains were limited, with only 12,000 jobs added despite projections of an additional 112,000. This is a sharp decline from September’s increase of 223,000. A revision to August’s numbers shows only 78,000 jobs now having been added compared to the initial 142,000 reported.

Officials in the Biden-Harris government are trying to dismiss the dismal jobs report, blaming hurricanes and a Boeing labor strike. Concerningly, 46,000 manufacturing jobs were lost last month—suggesting a weakening in U.S. industrial sectors. If not for government employment, October would have marked the first negative payroll numbers since December 2020.

Employment in the film and sound recording industries increased by 2,600 to 448,000 positions following previous losses. In contrast, the broadcasting and content creation sectors saw a decrease, shedding 3,300.

The overall labor market data contrasts with earlier optimistic economic signals. Earlier reports pointed to a 2.8 percent GDP growth over the year and a continued drop in inflation rates. Notable advances in employment were seen in the healthcare and government sectors, whereas temporary business support and professional services faced declines.

In August, a benchmark employment revision revealed that employment gains for the year had been vastly overestimated, by nearly one million jobs. The continued lack of positive movement in the labor market means a second Federal Reserve interest rate cut is increasingly likely before the end of the year.

During the 2020 election, the corporate media piled on the Trump White House after the labor report showed the economy adding 661,000 jobs.

Fact Check

FACT CHECK: Kamala Claims 100k Attended Her DC Rally… It Was Less Than Half That.

Vice President Kamala Harris is falsely claiming her Tuesday rally in Washington, D.C., drew 100,000 attendees. According to law enforcement, the total number screened for entry for the event—which took place in The Ellipse Park just outside the White House—was just 40,000 people.

A Harris campaign permit for the park only cited 20,000 attendees; however, it is believed that number was increased just days before the campaign rally. In addition to the 40,000 individuals screened for entry into The Ellipse Park, law enforcement estimates there could have been upwards of 20,000 individuals outside the event on the slope near the Washington Monument.

Even with the non-screened attendees, Harris overestimates the crowd by almost half. Meanwhile, the Harris campaign officially estimates attendees to be about 75,0000—still well short of Harris’s 100,000 claim.

While Harris sought to use the pageantry and backdrop of The Ellipse rally to make her closing case for the presidency, it was her boss, the 81-year-old incumbent Joe Biden, who stole the news cycle. Just moments after the rally and a few hundred yards away, Biden held a video call for the Harris campaign in the White House with the far-left Voto Latino group.

During the call, Biden—now infamously—referred to Americans who support President Donald J. Trump as “garbage.” In the immediate aftermath, the White House communications team attempted to manipulate a transcript of the video call—exacerbating the scandal and potentially committing a federal crime.

Election Officials Confirm Voting Machine Flipped Vote from Trump to Kamala.

A video showing a Kentucky electronic ballot machine malfunctioning and only allowing a voter to cast a vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is authentic, the county clerk confirms. Many on social media and the corporate media initially questioned whether the footage was staged. However, Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown—in a post on Facebook—acknowledges the machine was flipping votes from Donald J. Trump to Harris.

“The Attorney General’s office has been to the vote center to check the device that has been shown across social media today. In full disclosure, after several minutes of attempting to recreate the scenario, it did occur,” Brown wrote. He added: “This was accomplished by hitting some area in between the boxes. After that we tried for several minutes to do it again and could not.”

Brown stressed that the machine shown in the video is meant to mark ballots and that users must make their selection by pressing their finger fully in the box next to the candidate’s name on the screen. If that isn’t done, the error observed in the video can occur. The Laurel County Clerk notes that the machine was pulled from use and set facedown at the voting center until it could be examined by officials from the Kentucky Attorney General’s office.


“There were no claims of any issues with the device prior, and none since it went back into service,” Brown said, continuing: “The voter who posted the video did cast her ballot which she said was correct.”

Brown added: “I hate that this has occurred here in Laurel County. We strive to have accurate, secure and safe elections that we are proud to provide to our citizens.”

WATCH: Dems Fail to Build Blue Firewall Ahead of Polling Day.

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, joined recently freed former Trump White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon on War Room to explain how the Democrats have failed to build a strong enough firewall in the three Rust Belt battleground states.

Despite some concerns regarding an uptick in Democrat-identifying female voters in Pennsylvania, Kassam breaks down voter data showing that Democrats are falling short of the early vote margins they need to hold off Donald J. Trump’s expected Election Day voter surge.


“It comes down to how a lot of the data is coming out right now—a lot of what we expect, a lot of what the graphs are showing us,” Kassas tells Bannon, noting at least one area of concern: “What the data shows us, as far as their voter file data that is coming out, is that in Pennsylvania they claim about double the number of female Democrats—new voters specifically—are voting than, say, female Republicans.”

“The numbers amongst men… pretty much the same,” Kassam adds. Despite the boost from new female voters, however, the Democrat early vote numbers already banked in Pennsylvania appear to be falling short of the margins they need to overcome the usual Republican turnout on the actual day of the election.

In other battleground states, the numbers for Trump are much better—especially in the Sun Belt states of Arizona and Nevada: “The numbers, however, flip completely on their head when you go to a state like Arizona. What they’re showing us in Arizona is that male Republicans are outstripping male Democrats by about two to one and that the female numbers are about parity,” Kassam says.

While the female low-propensity voter data in Pennsylvania should concern the Trump campaign, a strong push of the Republican base vote heading into election day could still see Trump win the state. The state’s early vote has predominantly been older, leaving a significant segment of younger voters yet to turn out or vote. This means Democrats may still face a base turnout crisis in the must-win swing state.

AOC Tried to Use Arabic on Her Election Flyers. It Turned Out to be Gibberish.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is facing criticism over a campaign mailer featuring a nonsensical Arabic translation of election information, including the last day voters can cast their ballot. The campaign leaflet features Arabic script in which the characters appear in reverse order and are disconnected, deviating from standard Arabic script requirements.

The mistake drew attention after Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, a journalist, criticized the gaffe on X (formerly Twitter). He remarked that the disorganized script was emblematic of Ocasio-Cortez’s disconnect with Arab voters.

The incorrect Arabic also drew comments from Meir Javedanfar, an Iranian studies professor at Reichman University. He equated the flyer mishap with Ocasio-Cortez’s understanding of Middle Eastern affairs, labeling it “gibberish.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign did not appear to have caught the error until Shihab-Eldin and others noted the mistake. The New York Democratic Party lawmaker had posted images of the mailer on social media but quickly deleted them after criticism began to roll in. As part of her campaign, Ocasio-Cortez has been vocal about reducing military aid to Israel, accusing the Jewish state of committing acts of genocide against Palestinians.

The social media post accompanying the campaign material pointed out efforts to mobilize New Yorkers in five languages, advancing support for Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), and Ocasio-Cortez herself. According to the Democrat, her campaign has sent mailers in 800 languages, including English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, French Creole, and Bengali. It is unclear how many suffer from translation and grammatical issues which render them unintelligible.

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.

D.C. Businesses Are Boarding Up in Anticipation of Violence.

Business and office building lobby entrances, especially those around the White House, are being boarded up in downtown Washington, D.C. The move comes as local establishments fret over the potential for civil unrest across the city in the closing days of the 2024 election.

While Democratic Party presidential candidates have typically won Washington, D.C., with over 90 percent of the vote, the city has faced unrest following presidential elections—especially in 2016 when Donald J. Trump bested Hillary Clinton. Left-wing rioters destroyed private and public property, even burning a limousine that was the single source of income for a driver-for-hire.

The move to board up businesses in the nation’s capital could signal a belief among residents and city officials that voters are likely to return President Donald J. Trump to the White House after four years of Democratic control under President Joe Biden. Last week, The National Pulse reported that city residents have or are planning to flee the city ahead of Election Day.

“January 6th was a very scary time. I used to live right off of North Capitol Street, so I could see the Capitol. There were Proud Boys petting my dog that day. I don’t want to be a part of it,” one woman said regarding her plans. At least one city councilwoman says she’s received numerous questions from businesses in her ward about boarding up.

Top Harris Surrogate Calls Female Trump Voters Weak and Dumb.

Top Kamala Harris campaign donor and surrogate Mark Cuban says “strong, intelligent women” do not support President Donald J. Trump, implying the women backing the 2024 Republican nominee are weak and stupid. Cuban’s remarks came during an appearance on ABC’s all-female-hosted talk show, The View.

“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women—ever. It’s just that simple,” Cuban claimed.


Cuban, a billionaire best known for selling several software companies and websites during the early ‘Dot Com Boom’ in the 1990s, has emerged as one of Vice President Harris’s most vocal supporters and campaign surrogates in recent months. Cuban, the owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, has appeared alongside Harris on the campaign trail and is one of her most aggressive allies in the media.

The disparaging remarks about women voting for Trump come on the heels of Joe Biden dismissing Trump supporters as “garbage” during a Tuesday night Harris campaign event with Voto Latino. Biden’s remarks were aired on CNN and drew immediate backlash from across the political spectrum—including among Democrats.

Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA), responding to Biden’s insult of Trump voters, said: “I’m giving you my fresh reaction to it. I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn’t support.” The Pennsylvania Democrat is considered a top contender for the party’s 2028 presidential nomination and was vetted by the Harris campaign as a potential 2024 running mate.

The denigration of female Trump supporters by Cuban—and Americans at large by Biden—could have serious implications in the final days of the 2024 presidential race. Recent polling suggests many battleground states could be decided by razor-thin margins.

2020’s Most Accurate Pollster Has Really Bad News for Kamala.

AtlasIntel, considered the most accurate pollster in the 2020 presidential election, has released its final voter survey of the seven critical battleground states. While the electorate could certainly have shifted from the 2020 presidential contest—and no U.S. election is the same—the data suggests President Donald J. Trump holds leads in all but one of the seven states, which would result in a significant Electoral College victory.

According to the data, Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in Arizona by 4.2 points. Meanwhile, he leads Harris in North Carolina by 3.7 points and in Nevada by 3.6 points. The presidential race is closer in the remaining battleground states, with Trump leading Harris by 2.3 points in Georgia. In Pennsylvania and Michigan, Trump leads Harris by just 1.5 and 0.6 points, respectively. And in Wisconsin, the America First leader narrowly trails his Democratic Party opponent by a razor-thin 0.2 points.

While the AtlasIntel survey suggests the electoral momentum continues to move in Trump’s direction, the narrow margins remain concerning for Republicans. Trump and Harris are well within the margin of error outside Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina. In recent weeks, a majority of polls have shown the race tightening and beginning to lean in Trump’s direction. However, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee has not broken through entirely and put distance between himself and Harris.

It is unclear if recent polling has captured any movement among voters related to President Joe Biden’s Tuesday remarks during a Harris campaign event where he called tens of millions of Trump supporters “garbage.” Meanwhile, in another Harris campaign gaffe on Thursday, billionaire Harris donor and campaign surrogate Mark Cuban insinuated that women who back Trump are weak and dumb.

CNN Exec Says Biden Should Stand By His ‘Garbage’ Insult.

Mark Preston, a senior political analyst and vice president for political and special events programming at CNN, is pushing President Joe Biden to double down on his comments referring to supporters of President Donald J. Trump as “garbage.” Appearing early Wednesday morning on the network—which continues to struggle to retain viewership and raise revenue—Preston insisted Democrats should embrace Biden’s attack as it makes them look “strong.”

“I’m of the mindset that if you say it, you might as well just embrace it, and I do think that that’s a problem for Democrats,” Preston says, adding: “I do think if he said, listen, yeah, I do mean all those racist supporters of Donald Trump, yeah, I do think that they’re terrible. I think that people would look at the Democratic Party a little bit different.”

The CNN executive continues: “I do think that the Democratic Party, in general, doesn’t look like they are strong enough, and they will always back off of things. And I think that when Joe Biden backs off of saying what he really believes, I don’t think that’s a good look.”


Biden referred to supporters of the former Republican president as “garbage” Tuesday night during a live stream conversation with the far-left open borders group, Voto Latino. The comments drew immediate condemnation from President Trump and the 2024 vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH).

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) actually interrupted Trump during a rally last night in Pennsylvania to break the news of Biden’s remark to the Republican candidate and his thousands of supporters in attendance.

CNN has struggled to maintain viewership and revenue growth in recent years. The National Pulse reported in May that the corporate news outlet’s prime-time ratings had hit their lowest in 30 years. Meanwhile, CNN has also been forced to abandon its digital opinion section and will introduce a paywall in the hopes of reversing the network’s failing financial situation.
