Kamala Allies Admit She’s Lying About Securing the Border to Win Election – ‘It Won’t Come Up When She’s in Office.’

Democrat-aligned and progressive activist groups are reassuring their supporters that Kamala Harris’s tough talk on the border is merely a 2024 election ploy to win over critical swing voters. While Harris has vocalized support for the weak Senate border bill—which primarily deals with military funding for Ukraine—pro-open borders left-wing groups insist that if the Democrat wins the White House, she will drop her support for the legislation.

“We all know and trust Harris to make the right decisions when she’s in office. I don’t think this bill will ever come up again, as is,” Kerri Talbot, who serves as the executive director of the Immigration Hub, said in a recent interview. Despite Harris’s campaign trail rhetoric supporting the legislation, Tablot says she is still backing the Democratic Party nominee.

Even while claiming she supports tougher border and immigration policies, Harris has engaged in some counter-signaling during her campaign.

“We have to have immigration policy that understands that we can fight for our Dreamers, provide a pathway to citizenship for those who have earned it,” Harris said during a radio interview.

Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA), a key Harris ally, has added further credence to suspicions that the Democrat nominee will revert to her former open borders policies should she win in November. In May, Padilla blasted the Senate immigration bill, claiming it “contains some of the same tried and failed policies that would actually make the situation worse at the southern border.”

Despite his opposition to the legislation, Padilla insists Harris “is the only candidate in this race who also values keeping families together and providing a pathway to citizenship for long-term residents. And I’m proud to support her.”

Kamala Refuses to Discount Executive Action on Reparations.

Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s 2024  presidential nominee, says she won’t discount the use of executive action to begin implementation of reparations for black Americans. Speaking with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) yesterday, Harris was asked whether she would use presidential authority or defer to Congress to create a commission to study proposals for financial restitution.

“I’m not discounting the importance of any executive action,” Harris said. “But ultimately, Congress, because if you’re going to talk about it in any substantial way, there will be hearings, there will be a level of public education and dialogue.”

The National Pulse reported earlier this year that Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is floating reparations in the form of exempting black Americans from federal taxes for a set period. “One of the things they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time because then again that puts money back in your pocket,” the freshman Democrat said.

Crockett’s proposal received immediate pushback, with the lawmaker eventually acknowledging that black Americans reliant on government assistance already pay little to no federal income taxes, meaning an exemption would do little for them.

The Texas Democrat is not alone in her push for reparations, however. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY)—ousted in a primary earlier this year—has pushed for the government to print $14 trillion for black Americans and give prisoners and felons the vote as a form of “reparations” for slavery. Additionally, Democrats in New York established a commission to study how the state might implement slavery restitution in late 2023.

Harris, who is of Indian-Jamaican heritage, is herself the descendant of a notorious European slave owner.

Kamala’s Running Mate Tim Walz Drove THOUSANDS of Families Out of Minnesota.

A new study released by demographer Lyman Stone and sociologist Brad Wilcox reveals that a significant number of families left Minnesota in 2021 and 2022. The exodus occurred under the tenure of Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate, Tim Walz, who has served as the state’s governor since 2019. Stone and Wilcox’s research challenges claims by some left-leaning commentators that Walz’s policies have been beneficial for families and children.

The report, published by the Institute for Family Studies, concludes that Minnesota experienced a net loss of families with children during the two years. Stone and Wilcox’s analysis of the American Community Survey data shows that the state ranked among the worst third in the nation for family migration, one of 18 states where more families left than moved in.

According to the research, Minnesota saw a net loss of 4,000 families from 2021 to 2022, a 0.3 percent decline, placing it 13th among states with the highest percentage of family migration losses. Among the top 12 states with the most significant declines, 10 had supported President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

In their report, Stone and Wilcox note that parents are increasingly moving away from states with far-left family, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. States like New York, California, Massachusetts, and Oregon, all known for their leftist political agendas, saw substantial family outflows. For instance, New York lost 71,000 families, a 1.9 percent decrease, while California saw a net loss of 92,000 families, a 1.2 percent decline.

In contrast, states that voted for former President Donald J. Trump in both 2016 and 2020 saw gains in family migration. The study points out that deeply Republican states, such as Idaho, reported the most significant percentage increase in family population, with a 2.3 percent rise from 2021 to 2022. Texas and Florida also saw considerable gains, with 53,000 and 38,000 families, respectively.

Stone and Wilcox suggest that COVID-19 partly drives this movement as families sought suburban and rural areas offering more space. Additionally, states with quicker school reopenings, new school choice laws, lower taxes, and strong job growth have become more attractive to parents. Cultural factors, such as resistance to far-left gender theory in schools, also contribute to the red state appeal.

Judge Refuses to Remove RFK Jr’s Name from Swing State Ballot.

A Dane County, Wisconsin judge has ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s name will stay on the state’s presidential ballot despite his request to be removed. Circuit Judge Stephen Ehlke stated Wisconsin law only permits presidential candidates to be removed if they die after submitting valid nomination papers.

Judge Ehlke emphasized the clear language of the statute, remarking, “The statute is plain on its face.”

“Mr. Kennedy has no one to blame but himself if he didn’t want to be on the ballot,” he added. With the deadline for printing ballots approaching this Wednesday, there is limited time for Kennedy to pursue further legal action.

Kennedy appealed to a state appellate court last week, ahead of Ehlke’s ruling. The Second District Court of Appeals is considering the case but was awaiting Judge Ehlke’s decision. Earlier in the month, the Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5-1 to include Kennedy on the ballot, rejecting efforts by Republicans to remove him. #

Democrats were able to remove Joe Biden‘s name from the Wisconsin ballot earlier this summer, supposedly because he had yet to be certified as the party’s official nominee.

The presence of independent candidates in Wisconsin’s election could significantly impact the results. The state has experienced narrow margins in four of the past six presidential elections, ranging from 5,700 to about 23,000 votes.

Although Kennedy suspended his campaign in August and endorsed former President Donald J. Trump, he continues to seek removal from battleground state ballots, believing his presence increases Kamala Harris’s chances of winning.

Earlier this month, Kennedy succeeded in getting his name removed from North Carolina ballots through a court order.

‘Data Entry Issue’ Allowed Over 300 Noncitizens to Register to Vote In This U.S. State.

State government officials in Oregon are acknowledging that at least 300 noncitizens have been able to register to vote in the state since 2021. The Oregon Department of Transportation claims the illegal voter registrations were the result of a “data entry issue.”

According to state officials, of the 306 noncitizens who registered to vote, at least two cast ballots in elections after 2021. Noncitizens are prohibited from voting in both Oregon state and federal elections.

Concerningly, Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Administrator Amy Joyce says she expects state investigators to uncover more illegal registrations and potentially more instances of noncitizens casting ballots in the coming weeks. Just under half of U.S. states have some form of automatic voter registration (AVR) when an individual files for or renews a driver’s license or submits paperwork with a state government agency.

AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION ISSUES.

Oregon passed its automatic voter registration law just over a decade ago. Considered a “back-end” AVR system, when an individual files paperwork with the state, that information is sent on to state election officials who determine whether the individual is legally allowed to vote and subsequently register those eligible. Proponents of the system claim it is secure and avoids potential fraudulent registrations. However, in Oregon’s case, a simple data entry error appears to pose a significant weakness in its security.

Addressing the issue, Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade said those believed to have been registered in error “will be notified by mail that they will not receive a ballot unless they demonstrate that they are eligible to vote.”

Automatic voter registration has resulted in significant problems with noncitizen voters in several states. The National Pulse has previously reported on instances of fraudulent noncitizen registrations in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Even in states without AVR policies, noncitizens have been able to register and illegally vote, as shown by a federal investigation in North Carolina.

Dem Operatives Are Deceiving Pro-Trump Disabled, Senior Citizens To Run Third Party In Swing Districts.

A group of Democrat-aligned consulting firms is allegedly behind a shadowy political operation that has deceived numerous pro-Trump senior citizens and disabled individuals into running as third-party candidates in key Congressional swing districts in the hopes of splitting Republican support. Operating under the name Patriots Run Project, the group has ties to firms like the Nevada-based Sole Strategies, Common Sense America, and Patinkin Research—all associated with Democratic Party campaigns and candidates.

The Patriots Run Project has successfully recruited elderly and disabled supporters of former President Donald J. Trump to run in Congressional races in several states, including Iowa and Virginia. In other instances, the group failed to get their candidates on the ballot. Concerningly, the individuals recruited by the Patriots Run Project appear to be targeted mainly through social media and are almost entirely senior citizens, those suffering from long-term disabilities, or both. This suggests that the Democrat-run operation purposefully targets people they believe they can defraud and manipulate.

POSSIBLE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.

While recruiting third-party candidates is not illegal if done in accordance with state and federal elections laws, the Patriots Run Project does not appear to be a registered business entity. Nor does the group have a nonprofit status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Additionally, it is not a registered Political Action Committee (PAC) with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

The Democrat-backed organization provided paid signature gatherers for those they recruited to run for Congress. Additionally, operatives who appear to have used false names would pick up the candidates and drive them to local election offices to file their candidacy paperwork. In one instance, a candidate recruit noted that the operative attempted to dodge appearing on government security cameras and refused to have their picture taken.

It is unclear if the Patriots Run Project’s actions violate state and federal election laws, though the lack of business, nonprofit, or PAC registrations suggests this may be the case. An Associated Press (AP) investigation tied the group to several Democrat-aligned consulting firms based in Nevada and Washington State. However, national Democratic campaign committees deny any connection with the effort.

Sole Strategie’s clients include the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), Representative Pat Ryan (D-NY), and the Democratic-aligned Latino group Mi Familia Vota.

Public Confidence In America’s Elections Systems Is Collapsing.

New data suggests confidence in U.S. elections in waiting in six critical battleground states, with likely voters only expressing some degree of confidence their states adequately protect against fraud. In Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, nearly a third of voters say they lack confidence in state election results. Meanwhile, just two-thirds of voters express some degree of confidence in the process.

In Wisconsin, just over half of likely voters say they have confidence in the results reported by state officials. Meanwhile, in Michigan, the number drops to just 46 percent. Those who say they’re very confident fall to just four in ten in the other states surveyed. Notably, voters’ confidence in their state election process is highly correlated with their partisan affiliation—with Democrats being more likely to say elections are accurate.

Among Kamala Harris’s supporters in the surveyed states, 71 percent are very confident in voting accuracy, compared to just 15 percent of former President Donald J. Trump’s supporters. A significant portion of Trump supporters display minimal faith in the system. In Georgia, 61 percent of pro-Trump respondents are at least somewhat confident in election accuracy, whereas the figures drop to 50 percent in Nevada and are even lower in Pennsylvania (47 percent), Arizona (46 percent), and Michigan (44 percent).

The National Pulse reported in August that Georgia is implementing new rules to improve the security and accuracy of its vote-counting process. Additionally, Republicans on Capitol Hill are attempting to advance legislation that would ensure noncitizens cannot illegally vote in federal elections.

Democrat lawmakers almost universally oppose the measure.

DATA: Swift Endorsement Sways More Voters AWAY from Kamala.

Taylor Swift’s recent endorsement of Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) appears to have had a mixed impact on voter preferences, according to new election data. A survey reveals just 8 percent of voters say they are “somewhat” or “much more likely” to support Harris due to Swift’s endorsement. Conversely, 20 percent of respondents are “somewhat” or “much less likely” to vote for Harris following the pop star’s declaration of support.

The majority of participants, accounting for 66 percent of responses, indicate that Swift’s endorsement does not alter their voting intentions. Following the September 10 presidential debate hosted by ABC News, Swift posted on Instagram to her 283 million followers that she is endorsing the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential ticket of Harris and Walz.

Among the poll’s respondents, 32 percent believe Swift’s endorsement will positively impact Harris’s campaign, whereas 27 percent think it will have no effect. The survey noted that 41 percent of nearly 460 people surveyed feel Swift should refrain from making public political endorsements, against 38 percent who support her making endorsements.

Regarding fan demographics, 66 percent of the poll’s participants reported they are not Swifties, 28 percent identified as fans, and 6 percent described themselves as big fans. The majority of the last group are women and registered Democrats. Swift’s endorsement reportedly caused a spike in traffic to the voter registration site vote.gov, with 337,826 visitors clicking a link she shared on Instagram.

Son of Assassination Suspect Says Father ‘Hates Trump,’ Suggests He ‘Wants to Be a Martyr.’

The son of the would-be assassin of former President Donald J. Trump says his Democrat donor father “wants to be a martyr to how broken and disassociated the process has become from the real problems and practical solutions, then that’s his choice.” Oran Routh, the son of Ryan Routh, also echoed his father’s hatred for the former president, stating that he “hates Trump like every reasonable person does.” Oran Routh added: “I don’t like Trump either.”

Yesterday, Ryan Routh, 58, attempted to assassinate former President Trump while he played a round of golf at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

“He’s my dad and all he’s had is couple traffic tickets, as far as I know. That’s crazy. I know my dad and love my dad, but that’s nothing like him,” Oran Routh said. The son of the would-be assassin added that he knew his father was traveling but did not realize he was in Florida: “He said he was at the beach, but I thought that meant the outer banks in Hawaii. I didn’t ask him for more information because we’ve had a falling out. We’ve grown apart.”

Disturbingly, Oran Routh appeared to defend his father’s alleged actions He said, “‘I hate this game every four years and think that we all do, and if my father wants to be a martyr to how broken and disassociated the process has become from the real problems and practical solutions, then that’s his choice.”

The National Pulse previously reported that Ryan Routh appears to have extensive ties to efforts aimed at recruiting foreign soldiers to fight for Ukraine. Additionally, the would-be assassin has expressed his support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Would-be Trump Assassin Ryan Routh Has Deep Ties to Ukraine.

Ryan Routh, a 58-year-old man living in Hawaii, has been identified as the would-be assassin who targeted former President Donald J. Trump as he played a round of golf on Sunday at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The suspect, currently in the custody of law enforcement, had an extensive social media presence almost entirely focused on support for the Ukrainian war effort and opposition to Israel.

The would-be assassin appears to have been deeply involved with efforts to send Afghanistan military veterans, who fled the country after the Taliban retook power, to Ukraine to bolster the Eastern European nation’s efforts to halt the Russian invasion.

According to his social media and two 2023 interviews with Semafor and The New York Times, Routh ran the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine and spent a great deal of time in Kiev over the past several years.

“Most of the Ukrainian authorities do not want these soldiers,” Routh told Semafor last year. “I have had partners meeting with [Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense] every week and still have not been able to get them to agree to issue one single visa.”

FOREIGN TIES. 

Even more concerning with respect to Routh’s foreign ties are the comments he made to the NYT. “We can probably purchase some passports through Pakistan, since it’s such a corrupt country,” he said regarding plans to move Afghan soldiers to Ukraine to join their fight.

Routh insinuated he’d move the soldiers to Iran and, from there, fly them to Ukraine.

In addition to organizing and encouraging volunteers to serve in the International Legion for Ukraine’s military, Routh appears to have engaged in efforts to lobby the United States Congress to increase foreign and military aid to the war-torn country.

 

Routh also appeared briefly in a propaganda video pushed by Ukaine’s neo-Nazi Azov Brigade.

The National Pulse has previously reported that there is strong evidence government agencies have maintained awareness of and even communicated with extremist political groups in America operating in Ukraine. It should be noted that the United States government claims to monitor Americans traveling to and from Ukraine closely.

In June 2022, Routh was interviewed by Newsweek Romania while in Ukraine. Allegedly a retired construction worker, he described in detail the logistical hurdles faced in recruiting foreign soldiers to fight against Russia in the country.

“This is about good versus evil,” Routh said, explaining that his initial goal was to serve among the foreign troops fighting for Ukraine. However, he states he was turned away and instead has focused on recruiting others to come and fight: “I think that everyone around the globe should be motivated to come here and support the Ukrainians and support the army no matter what gender, age, anything. Everybody should be here supporting the army.”
