‘Cut His F***ing Head Off’ — AOC, Bernie Rallygoers Call for Trump’s Torture and Execution.

At a rally headlined by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), attendees unleashed a torrent of violent threats at President Donald J. Trump. Video footage captured the chaos as several individuals openly called for his torture and execution.

One rallygoer, brandishing a sign showing President Trump’s severed head, was unequivocal when a reporter asked if they were “calling for his death,” affirming: “Yes, I am. I believe it’s time the people straight cut his f***ing head off.”

Another in the throng proposed a grisly alternative, advocating for Trump to be strung up by his ankles from a lamppost. “The only good fascist is a dead fascist,” he declared, likening President Trump to Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini.

A third rallygoer insisted violence is now the only option. “It’s the only thing they’re going to listen to,” the attendee argued. “I feel like we’ve done the rallies… If violence is what we need to do, then that’s what we need to do.”

The rally, meant to energize progressive supporters, instead spotlighted a dark undercurrent of aggression on the political left. Last year, Trump was subject to two assassination attempts in Florida and Pennsylvania, the latter of which saw the America First leader shot in the ear, two of his supporters critically wounded, and a third, Corey Comperatore, murdered.

President Trump has said he believed the Democrats’ extreme rhetoric against him has inspired the attempts on his life, arguing, “I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me. They talk about democracy; I’m a ‘threat to democracy.’ They’re the threat to democracy.”

Sanders Admits Trump Is Doing a Good Job on Border Security and Fentanyl.

Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) has admitted that President Donald J. Trump’s actions on border security and fentanyl trafficking are succeeding. Asked by ABC News if the America First leader had gotten anything right so far, the Democrat-aligned but notionally independent Vermont lawmaker said, “Yeah, I mean, I think cracking down on fentanyl, making sure our borders are stronger.”

Sanders, best known for running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020 on far-left policy platforms, claimed, “Nobody thinks illegal immigration”—which reached record levels under former President Joe Biden—”is appropriate.” However, he went on to criticize Trump’s goal of deporting an estimated 20 million illegal aliens.

“I happen to think we need comprehensive immigration reform, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for people to be coming across the border illegally,” he said, but added, “[President Trump] wants to deport 20 million people who are in this country who are undocumented [sic]. Well, you do that, you destroy the entire country.”

To justify this, the 84-year-old resorted to the well-worn leftist trope of illegal aliens being required to work the country’s fields and slaughterhouses, saying, “Trump’s billionaire friends are not going to pick the crops in California that feed us. They’re not going to work in meatpacking houses. That’s what undocumented [sic] people are doing.”

Skeptics of illegal alien labor argue that much agricultural work could instead be handled by hiring Americans, recruiting legal migrants holding H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers Program visas, and especially automation—where investment is currently disincentivized by the ready availability of cheap foreign labor.

Meanwhile, meatpacking was once a source of prized union jobs, with wages significantly above the national average for manual work and good benefits. Illegal immigration has, in many ways, returned the sector to the brutal conditions of the 19th and early 20th century, with low-paid workers—including minors—working in dirty and dangerous conditions.

TRUMP TRANSITION 2024/5

WATCH: The Incredible Moment RFK Blasted Bernie for His Big Pharma Donations.

Members of the public cheered President Donald J. Trump’s nominee for Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as he called out Senator Bernie Sanders for being bankrolled by Big Pharma at a confirmation hearing on Thursday. In a combative performance, RFK Jr. responded to Sanders‘s shilling for vaccine manufacturers and socialized medicine by saying, “By the way, Bernie, you know the problem of corruption is not just in the federal agencies, it’s in Congress, too.”

“Almost all the members of this panel are accepting—including yourself—are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry, and protecting their interests.”

“Oh, no!” Sanders shouted as members of the public at the hearing began to clap and cheer. “No, no, no, no, no, nooooo,” he yelled, waving his hand and jabbing his finger.

According to Open Secrets, Senator Sanders did, in fact, receive the second-largest sum of pharmaceutical and health products industry donations of any Senator in the 2015-16 cycle, at $439,256. He claimed the top spot in the 2019-20 cycle, at $1,417,633, despite a ‘No Health Insurance and Pharma Money Pledge.’

Conveniently, Sanders took in multiple donations from executives at Pfizer, Merck, and Acadia Pharmaceuticals shortly before this pledge was offered.

WATCH: Bernie Warns Biden’s Pardon of Hunter Sets ‘Dangerous’ Precedent.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has expressed concern over President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, suggesting it might establish a dangerous “precedent” for future administrations.

Speaking on Sunday, Sanders acknowledged the personal aspect for Biden, noting the understandable desire of a parent to protect their family amidst political attacks. “When you have his opponents going after his family, as a father, as a parent, I think we can all understand Biden trying to protect his son and his family,” he said. “On the other hand, I think the precedent being set is kind of a dangerous one,” he added, warning that the scope of this pardon might create challenges for future presidents.

Biden’s White House pledged last year that he would not pardon his son Hunter after Hunter was indicted for several felonies, including lying about his drug habits on a federal firearms form. Despite that promise, Biden pardoned Hunter following the election victory of President-elect Donald J. Trump, granting sweeping immunity for any crimes Hunter committed or may have committed over a decade from 2014 to 2024.

U.S. District Court Judge Mark Scarsi, who presided over one of Hunter’s cases, called the pardon partially unconstitutional and an attempt to re-write history.

Following Hunter Biden’s pardon, others have called for pardons for top Democrats. Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-MS), former chair of the House Democrats’ January 6 Committee, stated he would accept a pardon if Biden offered it.

Furious DNC Attacks Sanders for Saying Democrats ‘Abandoned Working Class.’

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Jaime Harrison lashed out at Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Thursday over a statement criticizing the Democratic Party’s rejection of working-class voters. “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders said following President-elect Donald J. Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. “While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.”

“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” Sanders asked. “Will they understand the pain and alienation that millions of Americans are experiencing?”

The furious response of Chairman Harrison suggests they may not. “This is straight up BS,” the 48-year-old DNC chief wrote, insisting Joe Biden has been “the most-pro worker President of my life time… creat[ing] millions of good paying jobs.”

“There are a lot of post election takes and this one ain’t a good one,” he sneered.

The election results so far indicate that Trump earned significant support in battleground states, particularly among white and Latino working-class voters, and is on track to secure the popular vote nationally.

Contrary to Harrison’s claims about “millions of good-paying jobs,” the evidence suggests that most positions created post-pandemic have been filled by migrants.

When Will Joe Rogan Interview Trump? Here’s What We Know.

Former President Donald J. Trump will record an interview with UFC commentator, stand-up comic, and top podcaster Joe Rogan on Friday, as predicted by The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief back in August.

The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is one of the biggest platforms online, boasting over 14 million followers on Spotify and over 16 million followers on YouTube.

Raheem Kassam said in late August that he “expect[ed] Trump to sit for a Rogan interview in the last week of October” in an “October Surprise for “Bernie-Trump voters.”

The National Pulse chief described these voters, whom Trump has been reaching through surrogates such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, as “crunchy-ish,” sharing Trump’s anti-war views but also concerned with “lifestyle” issues such as seed oils in foods and “what their clothes are made of.”

Rogan is himself a former Bernie Sanders supporter and an admirer of RFK Jr., and he frequently discusses the importance of fitness, nutrition, and nature on his podcast.

ROGAN’S RECORD.

Despite taking flak from left-liberal media for his views on, for instance, vaccines and biological males in women’s sports, Rogan has long insisted he is “a bleeding heart liberal when it comes to a lot of s**t,” including abortion, homosexual marriage, and welfare.

While he endorsed Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary in 2020, Rogan said prior to that year’s election that he would “rather vote for Trump than [Joe Biden],” citing the latter’s poor cognitive condition.

In June 2022, he offered Florida Governor Ron DeSantis a quasi-endorsement, saying he was “not perfect” but “would work as a good president.”  The following month, he excoriated Trump, saying, “I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form. I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once, I’ve said no every time. I don’t want to help him, I’m not interested in helping him.”

Most recently, he said independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was “the only one that makes sense to me.” Since then, RFK Jr. has endorsed Trump. Rogan’s stance on Trump may have softened around the same time, with the podcaster saying that “Trump raising his fist and saying ‘fight!’ after getting shot is one of the most American f***ing things of all time.”

WATCH: Kamala Says Prostitution Should Be Decriminalized.

Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, called for decriminalizing prostitution in a February 2019 interview. Speaking with The Root—an online magazine geared towards African Americans—the then 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidate unequivocally endorsed ending criminal punishments for what the interviewer called “sex work.”

“Do you think that sex work ought to be decriminalized,” the interviewer asks Harris, who has spent much of her 2024 presidential campaign building up the image that she is a former tough-on-crime prosecutor. Harris responds: “I think so. I do.”

“When you’re talking about consenting adults, I think that you know, yes, we should really consider that we can’t criminalize consensual behavior as long as no one is being harmed,” Harris continues before adding: “But at the point that anyone’s being harmed or exploited, then I think we have to understand that’s a different matter.”

The California Democrat tacked hard to the political left during her short-lived 2020 presidential primary candidate, attempting to outflank the likes of Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders. After Harris was selected to replace the 81-year-old incumbent Joe Biden as the 2024 party nominee—following Biden’s exit from the race in July—the former California Attorney General has tried to distance herself from her prior progressive policy stances.

The National Pulse reported on Monday that Harris backed taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for illegal immigrants on an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) questionnaire she filled out during her 2020 camping. Harris’s disastrous 2020 primary campaign has proven to be a significant liability for her current bid for the White House. Former staffers who worked on Harris’s prior run have publicly denounced her, stating: “This person should not be president of the United States.”

MUST READ: ‘Crunchy-Ish’ – The Return of the Trump-Bernie Voter.

Crossover voters from then-Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders to Donald J. Trump in the 2016 presidential election likely helped push the latter over the top in critical swing states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. With Bernie-aligned figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and anti-war populist Tulsi Gabbard backing Trump’s 2024 bid for the White House, a similar phenomenon could happen again, argues The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, in a recent interview with Wake Up To Politics.

The Kennedy–Gabbard voter demographic is a sort of evolution of the 2016 Bernie Sanders voter, Kassam notes. While they still oppose war and are skeptical of concentrated corporate and government power, they’re also keen on lifestyle choices that impact nutrition and physical health.

“These are people who think about what their clothes are made of,” Kassam says, adding: “They don’t want to wear polyester. They don’t want to eat seed oils. They prefer all-natural, no sulfites in their wines.”

A LIFESTYLE ISSUE.

According to Kassam, this lifestyle issue is the missing piece that may be critical to increasing that 2016 crossover vote and securing Republican wins once again in the Rustbelt as well as Arizona and Nevada—the latter two states being known for having a ‘crunchy’ streak in their electorates.

“Probably more than any other point in his life, Trump is on a learning trajectory right now,” The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief explains before continuing: “I think he probably looked at it originally from, like, ‘Okay, I’m for no war. Are you for no war?’ And they go, ‘yeah, we’re for no war.’ ‘Okay, so what else are you into?’ And they start talking about all this health stuff and everything else and he goes, ‘Oh my God, I had no idea.’”

VOTER SWAP?

Wake Up To Politics’s Gabe Fleisher notes that Trump has also appeared on several top podcasts whose audiences tend toward supporters of Sanders, Kennedy, and Gabbard. Most recently, Trump spoke at length with Theo Von on a myriad of topics, including the addiction crisis and his late brother Fred Trump’s struggles with alcoholism.

Perhaps most critically, Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party appear to have little to offer this voter demographic heading into November. Instead, Democrats are offering an olive branch to the pro-war neoconservatives who found themselves in the political wilderness following the disastrous Iraq War and the 2016 election.

Kamala’s Biggest Flip-Flop Yet!

Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic Party’s new presidential nominee, is now claiming she will not push for a Medicare for All-style healthcare plan despite backing legislation enacting such a plan in 2019. Harris, then a U.S. Senator for California, co-sponsored a bill by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that would have expanded the Medicare program into a basic universal healthcare plan.

Under the Sanders proposal, government expenditures on healthcare could top $40 trillion over a decade.

The reversal in her support for Medicare for All marks the latest policy flip-flop by Kamala Harris as she attempts to disown the more radical political stances she took nearly four years ago during the lead-up to the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. Harris’s change of opinion was first reported by journalist Peter Doocy who pressed her campaign as to whether she still supported Sen. Sander’s socialized healthcare plan.

Since being selected as the Democratic Party’s 2024 nominee—replacing the 81-year-old Joe Biden—Harris has sought to distance herself from her past radical political statements and positions. The National Pulse reported in late July that the Harris campaign has claimed the candidate now disavows her previous support for a ban on fracking, attacks on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and sympathy for defunding the police.

Harris and her campaign’s corporate media allies have also worked to erase the fact Biden tapped her to serve as ‘border czar.’ Under her watch, the Biden government’s open borders policies saw an explosion in illegal immigration into the country.

In addition, the corporate media has attempted to remove partisanship ratings that revealed Harris to be the most far-left member of the U.S. Senate according to her legislative record.

Bernie Sanders: Gaza Becoming Biden’s ‘Vietnam.’

Senator Bernie Sanders has offered support to students protesting across United States college campuses in opposition to Israel’s offensive against Hamas and is warning that Joe Biden’s support for the Israelis could cost him the election in November.

“I worry very much that President Biden is putting himself in a position where he has alienated not just young people, but a lot of the Democratic base in terms of his views on Israel and this war,” Sanders said. Younger voters and Muslim voters, particularly important in the swing state of Michigan, are both trending away from Biden in recent polling.

“In terms of his [reelection] campaign, I am thinking back…  this may be Biden’s Vietnam,” Sanders suggested, noting how opposition to Lyndon B. Johnson’s foreign policy killed his presidency.

Our Revolution, a progressive political action organization kickstarted by Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign, previously led efforts to have Democrats decline to commit to Biden as their 2024 candidate. Intended to send a message to Biden that many leftists are unhappy with his position on Gaza, the initiative could not stop Biden from being declared the Democratic nominee, but it reeled in over 13 percent of the vote in Michigan.

The campaign to vote for “uncommitted” instead of Biden in Michigan reportedly caused his campaign to “freak out,” as a relatively small number of leftists staying home in November could cost him Michigan and other key states.

Biden has attempted to chart a middle path through the campus crisis, suggesting there are fine people on both sides. However, he may simply be alienating both sides, with protestors and counter-protestors having united in chants of “F*** Joe Biden” at a recent demonstration in Alabama.
