TRUMP TRANSITION 2024/5

Tops Dems Admit Gaetz Allegations Unsubstantiated, Praise His Legislative Record.

Leading Congressional and national Democrats are admitting the allegations against former Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) being investigated by the House Ethics Committee are unsubstantiated. Additionally, many of Gaetz’s colleagues across the aisle, even if begrudgingly, are also offering praise of his legislative record.

During his over seven years in Congress, Gaetz—despite the corporate media spin—cultivated a reputation as a serious legislator willing to reach across the partisan aisle on issues, including drug policy, the ethics of congressional stock trading, antitrust action, and experimental treatments for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This record has led to some surprising endorsements and praise of his nomination by President-elect Donald J. Trump as the next U.S. Attorney General.

“I think that his appointment to that position would not only ensure that the current scheduling, petition and review process continues to move forward at pace, but hopefully even faster, because generally, these things have taken years to roll through the motions,” said Morgan Fox, the political director for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, in a recent interview. Fox added: “I think that his appointment to that position would not only ensure that the current scheduling, petition and review process continues to move forward at pace, but hopefully even faster, because generally, these things have taken years to roll through the motions.”

Even hardline progressive lawmakers like Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) are praising Gaetz, encouraging the Attorney General nominee to discuss “his work on war powers and whether he would be a voice against going to war in Iran.”

Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s Chairwoman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Lina Khan, has praised Gaetz’s nomination, noting that she hopes to work with him. Both Gaetz and Khan are staunch advocates of using antitrust actions to break up Big Tech corporations and prevent market concentration at the expense of American consumers.

Other members of the Progressive Caucus, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) acknowledge Gaetz’s bipartisan work in Congress and admit that they have worked with him on several issues.

AOC Appears to Call for Armed Resistance Against Trump.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is telling her supporters to prepare a resistance against President-elect Donald J. Trump after he retook the White House in the 2024 election, winning both the popular vote and the Electoral College. In a video posted to social media after the November 5 election, the New York Democrat claims Trump and his allies are an authoritarian threat and alludes to the armed resistance movements against Europe’s fascist governments prior to and during World War II.

“We are about to enter a political period that will have consequences for the rest of our lives,” Ocasio-Cortez says. “We cannot give up. We now find ourselves in a time in history that has precedent, and we find ourselves, I believe, in a time where there are, let’s say, peers in history, of mass movements of people that mobilize to protect one another in times of fascism and authoritarianism. And this is the era we are poised to enter. ”

“Donald Trump has talked about turning the military on U.S. citizens that he deems his domestic political enemies,” the Democratic Congresswoman claims, adding: “Authoritarianism and people that he affiliates closely, and strongmen abroad in regimes like that, it is not uncommon to jail political dissidents or legislative opponents.”

Ocasio-Cortez—a far-left progressive—concludes: “This is the world that we very, realistically may be entering.”

ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE.

The New York lawmaker, in referencing historical mobilizations against fascism, appears to be encouraging violent left-wing groups like Antifa and others to arm themselves and form militias. Such actions would mirror the actions of the French Resistance and Italian anti-fascist groups who—unlike today—were justified in violently opposing the German and Italian fascist regimes. Over the course of the 2024 campaign, Democrats—including Vice President Kamala Harris—have compared Trump and his supporters to fascists and Nazis.

Prior to and during Donald Trump’s first term in office from 2017 to 2021, Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez would often make dramatic and unfounded accusations against the Republican president—claiming he was trying to become a dictator or would jail political enemies. Despite the assertions, these actions never occurred or were even considered.

The National Pulse has previously reported that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez admitted that much of her ‘resistance’ antics are political theater. However, her most recent comments could be considered to cross a very dangerous political line by endorsing potentially violent actions against the legitimately elected government.

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.

AOC Admits Her ‘Resistance’ Antics Are ‘Nonsense.’

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) appears to be admitting her “resistance” antics under President Donald J. Trump were “nonsense” and apparently just a stunt to sway public opinion. During a Twitch live stream on Sunday, where Ocasio-Cortez squared off against 2024 Democratic Party vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) in a game of Madden NFL, the New York Democrat pleaded with supporters to back Kamala Harris so she wouldn’t have to go through the resistance act again.

“Sorry, it got a little intense here, but it’s ’cause we’re eight days out from an election, and I’m losing my mind. And I’ve got a little smoke coming out the top of my head,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said while both she and Walz struggled to run plays in the popular football game simulator. She added: “Get it together! Cast your vote so we can be done with this! I do not want to do four more years of resistance nonsense under Donald Trump, okay?”

Continuing, Ocasio-Cortez recalled the constant state of turmoil she associated with Trump’s presidency, rhetorically asking, “Do we remember what it was like waking up every day and there being some stuff going on?”


Famously, Ocasio-Cortez was photographed crying outside an illegal immigrant detention facility in El Paso, Texas, as a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives. The photos, where she appears to exaggerate her emotions for the camera, were widely lampooned by conservatives and those supporting tougher border security.

The Twitch livestream event—ill-timed as it occurred during actual nationally televised NFL gameplay—was ostensibly an attempt by the Harris campaign to boost support among young male voters. Democrats fear this demographic is backing President Donald J. Trump at far higher margins than in past elections and could prove pivotal in deciding several critical battleground states.

AOC Says She’ll IMPEACH Supreme Court Justices Over Trump Immunity Ruling.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is threatening to impeach members of the Supreme Court after they ruled six to three that former President Donald J. Trump cannot be prosecuted for his official acts while in office. The far-left progressive congresswoman stated Monday in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that she intends to file articles of impeachment against the justices once Congress returns from the July 4 holiday.

“The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez wrote. She added: “Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.” It is unclear if Ocasio-Cortez intends to impeach the entire Supreme Court or just the six justices who ruled against Joe Biden‘s Department of Justice (DOJ) and its special counsel, Jack Smith, on the immunity claim.

Earlier on Monday, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for the high court’s majority, stating: “The President therefore may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled, at a minimum, to a presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts.” According to the justices, the burden of proof that former President Trump did not act in an official capacity when challenging the 2020 presidential election results rests on the Biden DOJ and Jack Smith.

Associate Justice Samuel Chase became the only member of the Supreme Court to have ever been impeached by the House of Representatives in 1804. However, the Senate acquitted Chase of the charges just a year later.

Media Seethes as Black and Hispanic Voters Chant ‘Build the Wall, Send Them Back!’ at Bronx Trump Rally.

The corporate media has expressed alarm at the level of support for Donald Trump at a rally in the Democratic stronghold of the Bronx, New York City. They were particularly worried about the “more diverse crowd” that turned out to see him.

“[M]any Black and Hispanic voters [were] sporting bright red ‘Make America Great Again’ hats and other Trump-themed apparel ordinarily scarce in deep-blue New York City,” notes The New York Times. 

The NYT expressed irritation that rally attendees “did not appear to object to [Trump’s] broad assertion, which has no evidence, that those coming across the border were mentally ill criminals mounting an invasion of the United States.”

The newspaper observed that the “approving reception for such anti-immigrant messaging was particularly striking in New York, a sanctuary city.” The crowd chanted, “Build the Wall” and “Send them back!”

Polls indicate that 84 percent of New Yorkers regard the border crisis as a serious issue. Sixty-four percent blame Joe Biden for it.

LOVE FEST. 

CNN also seemed shocked at Trump’s appeal in the Bronx. It noted there was “certainly a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country!”

Trump himself was unsure how well he would be received. “I woke up, I said, ‘I wonder, will it be hostile or will it be friendly?’” he said. “[I]t was beyond friendly. It was a love fest.”

“I think it’s great, I think it’s dope,” said one black attendee of Trump’s decision to campaign in the Bronx. “[T]his is the first time a President has actually came to the hood… the hood hood. So, I respect that,” he added.

Black and Hispanic attendees had harsh words for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose congressional district includes parts of the Bronx. She had claimed Trump was not welcome in the neighborhood.

“I don’t think she should be here in the Bronx,” said one black woman, adding that Ocasio-Cortez had “done nothing for the Bronx.”

AOC’s District Goes ‘Third World.’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district in New York City has become a haven for open-air prostitution and stolen goods thanks to the Democrat policies — particularly illegal immigration — that she advocates for.

Zoom out: AOC represents New York’s 14th District, which spans areas in both Queens and the Bronx.

The details: The Northwestern Queens neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights, and Elmhurst — once vibrant communities — are being described by locals as “third world” as videos of lawlessness have gone viral.

Illegal flea markets: Local resident Ramses Frias [a Democrat-turned-Republican running for state Assembly] filmed endless blocks of illegals selling clothes, food, toys, and other items on the street. Frias and his neighbors see this as “a third-world market” and explain that the items being sold are “stolen from donation bins or stolen from stores.”

Prostitution: Corona’s main street has become known as the “market of sweethearts” because the streets are lined with women soliciting men for sex out in the open during the day, even as families with strollers walk by.

  • The prostitutes reportedly recruit local children to hand out their X-rated business cards.
  • NYC Mayor Eric Adams blamed the rise in prostitution on an influx of illegal alien women from Venezuela.

The law:In New York, it is illegal to sell food or goods in public spaces without a permit. And prostitution is illegal.

What is AOC saying? She blamed the lawlessness on Republicans, saying the illegals have to resort to criminal behavior because they’re unable to work legally.

WATCH: AOC Chased From Movie Theater.

Protesters confronted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her fiancé, Riley Roberts, during a visit to a Brooklyn movie theater on Monday. The camera-wielding demonstrators demanded Ocasio-Cortez label Israel’s military action against Hamas militants in Gaza a “genocide.”

”Just say the word,” they pressed, as AOC herself blasted the move as “fucked up.”

AOC Heckled Over Mass Migration: ‘All You Care About Is Illegals And Their Votes!’

Chaos erupted at a town hall event in Queens, New York, hosted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) after protestors began heckling the Congresswoman. The Thursday night event was billed as a discussion on ‘environmental justice’ but spiraled into a shouting match between the Congresswoman’s supporters and constituents who were angry about her inaction to halt the invasion of illegal immigrants at the U.S. southern border.

One attendee, in a video from the event, can be heard shouting, “All you care about is illegal aliens and their votes! You don’t care about your constituents!” Ocasio-Cortez, who is aligned with the far-left Democratic Socialists of America, has seen an uptick in protests at her town hall events over the past year — with voters especially animated over the Congresswoman’s opposition to curbing mass immigration.

“Doing Trump impressions isn’t how we beat Trump. Seeking asylum is a legal right of all people. In the face of authoritarian threat, we should not buckle on our principles – we should commit to them,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday night in response to news that President Joe Biden is considering an executive order enacting new restrictions on asylum seekers. She added: “The mere suggestion is outrageous and the President should refuse to sign it.”

Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive colleagues, who comprise a group nicknamed ‘The Squad,’ have increasingly made it difficult for Congress to address the border crisis. The group has staked out a position on the political far-left, vowing to defeat any legislative attempts to restrict the flow of illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, illegal immigration continues to be a top concern for American voters. The National Pulse previously reported that sixty-five percent of Americans believe ‘invasion’ is the correct description for the Biden-made immigration crisis.

Dems Who Called Christians and Conservatives ‘Nazis’ for Years Fume as Republican Compares Gaza to Nazi Germany.

Democrats who regularly rail against Christians and conservatives as Nazis are furious over Republican Representative Brian Mast (R-Fla.) comparing Gaza to Germany under National Socialism.

“I think when we look at this as a whole, I would encourage the other side to not so lightly throw around the idea of ‘innocent Palestinian civilians,’ as is frequently said,” Mast said during a discussion on the Israel-Hamas conflict in the House of Representatives.

“I don’t think we would so lightly throw around the term ‘innocent Nazi civilians’ during World War II,” he added.

As the Nazis were elected by the German people in 1933 and Adolf Hitler elevated to Führer in a referendum a year later, Hamas won the last legislative election in Gaza in 2006. Unlike Gazan civilians, German civilians were also deliberately and openly targeted by the Allies during the war, with hundreds of thousands being killed in bombing raids on cities such as Dresden.

Nevertheless, Rep. Mast was roundly attacked by Democrat politicians including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Brian Schatz, and Maxwell Alejandro Frost, who branded the Republican a “bigoted” and “racist”.

The same politicians have shown no qualms about suggesting or openly accusing conservatives of being Nazis, fascists, and white supremacists in the past, however. Ocasio-Cortez said then-President Donald Trump “showed off his white nationalism for the world to see” in 2019, for example, while Schatz branded Trump an “overt racism” running on a platform of “white supremacy” in 2020.

Frost said Trump rival Ron DeSantis stands for “[f]ascism, white nationalism, and no freedom” in May, and has previously claimed the life of Trayvon Martin, killed in self-defense by a Hispanic man, lost his life “because of white supremacy.”
