Stanley Kubrick’s Daughter Says He Would Have Backed Trump.

Vivian Kubrick, daughter of the late and legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, claims that her father would endorse President Donald J. Trump if he were alive today. The remarks were spurred by Democrat backlash to the Trump campaign’s use of footage from her father’s film Full Metal Jacket in a video advocating against a “woke” military.

“I agree in principle that an anti-war movie is incongruous with promoting the idea of a tough non-woke US military and thus war itself – however – these are very dangerous and strange times and thus using this footage is doubtless pure expedience,” Vivian Kubrick wrote. “I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team – Trump is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods,” she continued.

“However, that’s primarily what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature…. so I’m going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was used primarily because of its powerful, realistic portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the entirely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA military. Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with,” she said.

In addition to surmising that her father would have backed Trump, she noted that, while he was alive, he was a fan of Ronald Reagan. Reiterating that Stanley Kubrick would likely have been a Trump supporter if he were still alive, his daughter added: “My father had a great respect for life… So on that basis, I feel very confident he would be a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously…Capisce?”

The Deep State is Anticipating (And Dreading) a Trump Victory.

Some career federal government bureaucrats are scrambling to move to agencies where they believe their position will be less likely to receive a Schedule F designation in a potential second Trump administration. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has seen some of the highest outflows of employees, with many choosing to transfer to the Department of Commerce or Department of Energy, where they feel they will receive less scrutiny.

A recent report by POLITICO‘s E&E News, citing anonymous career government employees, reveals that many federal workers are cutting back on their expenses due to fears of being fired after the November presidential election. “We have stopped doing any money-spending things because what if we’re without jobs in the next year?” a Department of the Interior employee told the outlet, adding: “We need all the savings we can get.”

Several federal bureaucrats said they wouldn’t speak on the record, fearing retribution from a Trump White House. “They’re so vindictive, I can see them going back through E&E News articles and saying, ‘You’re fired,'” one anonymous government agency employee said.

On the campaign trail, President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), have both promised a reckoning for the Deep State—the permanent government bureaucracy entrenched in Washington, D.C. that often acts against the democratic will of the voters.

The Biden-Harris government has already attempted to implement a rule that would prevent Trump from reinstituting the Schedule F employment designation, though it isn’t clear how binding the regulation actually is on a future White House.

Trump’s Schedule F reform—despite the corporate media spin—simply allows the president to redesignate any policy-sensitive position as an appointment instead of a career. This makes it easier to remove employees hostile to the elected chief executive’s agenda.

Harris Tried to Scare Polish-Americans Into Voting for Her. They Aren’t Listening.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s calculated efforts to win over Polish Americans in swing states like Pennsylvania by framing herself as a more pro-war candidate appear to be misfiring. During a debate in September, Harris reached out to the Keystone State’s 800,000 Polish Americans, warning that former President Donald J. Trump will be less committed to the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, with Poland—a NATO member—supposedly next in line for 72-year-old President Vladimir Putin.

This foreign policy-focused approach is not resonating with the Polish American community, who are, for the most part, more concerned about domestic issues than geopolitical conflicts.“We’re giving billions of dollars to Ukraine. What about our people first?” said John Kuna, a board member of the Polish American Citizens Club in Dupont, in comments to POLITICO.

This reflects the broader frustration in the community over economic challenges at home, which they largely blame on the Biden-Harris government. Rising prices, job insecurity, and economic instability are taking priority over foreign policy: “I don’t live [in Poland] anymore. I care about here. People can’t afford groceries,” said another Polish American Citizens Club member, a first-generation immigrant who gave her name as Magdalena.

Trump won over Polish Americans in 2016 with his focus on Christian values and border security—which is also a growing concern in Poland, where would-be illegal immigrants recently killed a young border guard with a spear.

While some older Polish Americans recall the Cold War and fear Russian aggression, many younger Polish Americans feel disconnected from the issue. The sentiment at the Polish American Citizens Club is clear: voters want an administration prioritizing American interests. John Kuna explains, “Everybody wants to go to work, make money, come home, enjoy their families. That’s it.”

Rasmussen Moves PA Into Trump Column.

Rasmussen Reports’ head pollster, Mark Mitchell, says former President Donald J. Trump has taken the edge over Vice President Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania. According to Mitchell, Trump has opened up a three-point lead in their latest survey of the critical swing state, after being tied with Harris in their September poll.

“When I polled Pennsylvania in September, I had a tie. But that really was—you know—some of these major events they get a lot of press coverage on, they do get a juice for about two or three weeks. I think it is more what pollsters call a response bias than anybody actually changing their mind,” Mitchell said in a recent interview with Benny Johnson.

Mitchell explained that Harris’s September polling boost was likely driven by response bias following the presidential debate, adding that their data shows Trump taking the lead in October. “And when we went into the field, we got Trump plus three in Pennsylvania,” he said.

DEMOCRAT OVERSAMPLING.

The pollster went on to explain that while some surveys included in polling aggregates, like the RealClearPolitics (RCP) average, still show Pennsylvania leaning slightly towards Harris, many of these polls overestimated support for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Mitchell pointed specifically to the New York Times/Siena poll, noting: “They oversampled Biden 2020 supporters, like I said, by eight points.” He went on to note that when the oversample is taken into account, the poll suggests Pennsylvania is actually “Trump plus four.”

Last week, The National Pulse reported that the RCP—with less than 30 days before the November presidential election—suggests Trump could be headed towards an Electoral College landslide. According to the polling aggregate, Trump currently holds the edge in five of the seven critical battleground states.

Harris’s Attempts to Lean Into Her Black Identity Are REALLY Not Working.

Support for Democrats among black voters is seeing a significant decline, according to new election survey data. An October New York Times/Siena national poll of black voters reveals a potentially catastrophic drop in support for the 2024 Democratic Party presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, compared to Joe Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016. Meanwhile, President Donald J. Trump is seeing his margins increase, inching up into the double digits.

During the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton won black voters by an estimated 85-point margin—capturing 92 percent of the demographic. Similarly, Joe Biden won black voters by an estimated 81-point margin. Conversely, Trump only won 7 percent of the black vote in 2016 and 9 percent in 2020. However, the NYT/Siena data suggests Trump is now on pace to win 15 percent of the black vote, with Kamala Harris only capturing 78 percent—a historically low margin of just 63 points.

Concerningly for Harris, her 63-point margin among black voters is down from even that of Biden before he dropped out of the presidential race in July. Before his ouster, 74 percent of black voters said they would cast their ballot for Biden in November.

In a close presidential race, margins among any voter demographic could potentially swing the election. The notable shift in the black vote could have a major impact on the outcome in states like Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

Faced with eroding black support, Kamala Harris has tapped former President Barack Obama to hit the campaign trail in an effort to improve her margins. In one of Obama’s first events for Harris, the Democrat former president shamed black men who refuse to support Harris—accusing them of sexism.

Trump Earns Coveted Newspaper Endorsement Which Could Flip Swing State.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal is throwing its support behind former President Donald J. Trump, emphasizing his proven leadership, economic accomplishments, and ability to handle foreign policy challenges. The newspaper describes the current political landscape as unsettling, with “political norms strewn across the landscape.” In this chaotic atmosphere, the Review-Journal argues that Trump offers the chance for a more stable and prosperous future.

The newspaper describes the litany of criminal charges Trump is facing as “prosecutorial overreach” aimed at derailing his campaign. It highlights his strong record as president, noting that “the Earth didn’t stop spinning.”

“Instead, his presidency was marked by relative global stability and a strong American economy. Inflation was an afterthought,” the newspaper observes.

KAMALA.

The Review-Journal contrasts this with life under the Biden-Harris government:

“Two major wars rage. The debt has ballooned to $35 trillion. Inflation hit 9 percent, the highest rate in four decades, in large part because Democrats can’t temper their insatiable desire to spend other people’s money. Prices for staples remain stubbornly elevated. Housing costs have soared, including in Las Vegas. High interest rates make it more difficult for new homebuyers and burden families carrying credit card and other debt. If this weren’t destructive enough, Ms. Harris and Mr. Biden turned a blind eye to the border for three years, releasing millions of illegal crossers into the country and causing mayors in blue cities to cry uncle.”

The newspaper underscores Harris’s inconsistency on key issues, from immigration to fracking, and her lack of substantial leadership qualities. They argue that Harris “shape-shifts” her policies to fit the moment and “carefully avoids [ing] any unscripted interviews” so she is not exposed.

“Donald Trump is the better choice,” the Review-Journal asserts, citing his economic instincts, his ability to handle foreign policy challenges, and the fact that even on key Democratic issues like abortion, he is far less extreme than the Vice President: “His position on abortion—that he would veto a federal ban and that the matter should be left up to the states—is more mainstream than Ms. Harris’s belief that the procedure should be legal till the moment of birth,” the paper argues.

The Latest NBC Poll Data is Tearing Kamala Harris’s Advisors Apart.

With just 21 days before Election Day, new data suggests Vice President Kamala Harris is beginning to lose ground to President Donald J. Trump. Polling released over the weekend by NBC shows a deadlocked race; however, Harris has lost ground to Trump on several key voter issues and continues to see her favorability among the electorate slide.

“It is a tie game here weeks before the election,” explained Steve Kornacki, a national political correspondent with NBC News on Sunday. “[O]ur last poll taken in the wake of that September debate, Harris had opened up that advantage over Trump—gone in our new poll.”

According to the data, both Harris and Trump are slightly underwater in terms of favorability. Among respondents, 43 percent said they have a positive view of Trump, while 51 percent said they have a negative opinion. Meanwhile, Harris’s numbers were nearly the same as her Republican opponent’s, with 43 percent of respondents saying they had a positive opinion of her and 49 percent saying they had a negative opinion.

While Trump’s favorability remains relatively unchanged from the last NBC polls, Harris has seen a significant loss of ground. In September, 48 percent of respondents said they had a positive view of the Democratic Party nominee, while just 45 percent said they had a negative view.

Additionally, Trump has expanded his advantage among the electorate on several key voter issues. Trump now holds a 25-point edge on immigration and border security, up from 21 points in September. On the cost of living and inflation, Trump’s edge has grown from eight points last month to eleven points in October.

Harris, meanwhile, has lost ground as the ‘candidate of change,’ with her nine-point edge sliding to just five points over the last month.

Armed Coachella Rally-Goer Vem Miller is Pro-Trump, Independent Reporter, NOT Would-Be Assassin.

A man arrested near a rally for Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump on Saturday has denied allegations of planning an assassination attempt.

Vem Miller, 49, who is personally known to The National Pulse, and has interviewed The National Pulse’s Editor in Chief, Raheem Kassam, asserted in a lengthy video statement that he is a dedicated Trump supporter who has never fired a gun.

Miller, a registered Republican who has supported Trump since 2018 and attended numerous pro-Trump and pro-MAGA events, was detained on weapons charges in the vicinity of Trump’s rally in Coachella Valley. He was later released on $5,000 bail.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s office alleged Miller was in possession of firearms at the event. Miller – a long-standing independent news reporter – maintains he carries guns due to past death threats related to his work with the America Happens Network, a media outlet he established to challenge “censorship.”

Miller recently released a documentary about the Bundy ranch and reports about the still unresolved Las Vegas mass shooting.

“I have always transported my firearms in my truck for my safety,” Miller explained, also pointing to his work as a local Trump Caucus Captain. He said the firearms had never been used.

Miller runs a media platform called America Happens, which has also featured work from anti-Big Pharma activists and doctors, as well as having previously met President Trump and members of the Trump family.

Alongside weapons-related accusations, Miller refuted claims that he possessed counterfeit identification documents. He clarified that variations in his documentation were attributed to his Armenian heritage. Miller criticized Sheriff Chad Bianco for labeling him as part of the “sovereign citizens” movement, dismissing these assertions as “nonsensical.”

Both the Secret Service and the FBI have not pursued federal charges against Miller, and they do not consider him a threat in terms of an assassination plot. Despite the serious allegations, Miller expressed frustration over being associated with unspecified anti-government groups, challenging authorities to identify them.

Trump’s Golf Plans Halted Until Post-Election Over Safety Concerns.

President Donald J. Trump is suspending his golfing activities due to security concerns. This decision follows conversations with federal agents, including Ronald Rowe, the Acting Director of the Secret Service, and officials from the Director of National Intelligence’s office, who expressed their inability to ensure his safety on golf courses.

They noted the difficulty in securing Trump adequately at golf courses, particularly those near public roads, after an incident in September involving an attempt to target Trump while he was golfing in Florida. The Democrat donor involved in the incident, Ryan Routh, was heavily tied to Ukraine and attempted to help the country recruit foreign fighters after its full-scale invasion by Russia in 2022. He has been charged with the attempted assassination but has pleaded not guilty.

Trump, known for his frequent golfing outings, reportedly expressed a strong desire to continue the activity. However, he was advised that considerable additional security would be necessary to mitigate potential threats.

The Secret Service had previously raised similar concerns about the risks associated with Trump’s golf outings during his presidency. Former officials indicated that these outings posed security challenges, as long-range lenses could expose him to danger.

Trump’s security challenge during golf outings is compounded by the fact that he no longer receives the same level of protection as a sitting president.

So far, there have been two major attempts on Trump’s life during the presidential campaign, including when he was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.

Other reports have claimed that multiple assassination teams, some linked to Iran, are also targeting Trump. The Trump campaign has now requested military aircraft and other measures in the final month of the 2024 campaign in response to the heightened threat.

LOL: No One Is Buying Hillary Clinton’s Book.

Hillary Clinton has released a new memoir titled Something Lost, Something Gained: Lessons on Life, Love, and Liberty, her second book focused on her electoral loss to former President Donald J. Trump. According to industry sources, the memoir sold 27,000 copies in its first week of release, a major crash from her 2017 memoir, What Happened, which sold 167,000 copies in its opening week.

Clinton emphasizes her supposedly historical achievements as “the first woman to win a presidential primary, the nomination of a major party, and the national popular vote” in her new work and brags about occasions when she “flew on Air Force One” and “dined with kings and queens.”

However, the reception of Clinton’s latest publication has been less than enthusiastic. It managed less than 20 percent of the initial sales of her 2017 memoir.

The former First Lady is continuing to intervene in the political discourse ahead of the 2024 election, in which Trump is once again running against a woman. In September, she defended her description of Trump’s 2016 supporters as “deplorable,” saying it was “bad politics” but “got at an important truth,” alleging that Trump voters are “drawn to his racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia—you name it.”

Clinton even doubled down on her past remarks, saying, “[I]f anything, ‘deplorable’ is too kind a word for the hate and violent extremism we’ve seen from some Trump supporters.”

She has also been calling for Americans to be “criminally charged” for repeating so-called Russian propaganda “boosting Trump.”
