John Bolton Just Proved How Unserious He Is, Again.

Neoconservative foreign policy advisor John Bolton is now backing down from his publicly stated intention to write in former Vice President Dick Cheney on his 2024 presidential election ballot, citing the Iraq War architect‘s endorsement of Kamala Harris. Instead, Bolton—himself a backer of the disastrous Iraq invasion under then-President George W. Bush—is suggesting he may write in Ronald Reagan, who died in 2004.

“It’s caused me to reassess whether to vote for Dick,” Bolton told CNN’s Kasie Hunt. He continued: “I’m looking to vote for a conservative Republican, and I certainly think Dick is a conservative Republican. And if he were to win—not much chance of that, I suppose—I don’t think he’d put Kamala Harris in his cabinet.”

“I had originally thought in 2020 I’d write in Ronald Reagan to make the point even more effectively, and maybe that’s what I’ll do this time,” Bolton added.

The National Pulse reported in April that Bolton had written in Dick Cheney for President of the United States in 2020 and intended to do so again in the 2024 election. However, it appears Cheney’s backing of Harris is a bridge too far for the neoconservative war hawk, who served just over a year as National Security Advisor to President Donald J. Trump before being fired for publicly undermining the Republican president’s agenda.

Botlon’s career is checkered with bizarre claims and statements that have undermined his credibility in the eyes of many Americans. During the George W. Bush administration, Bolton—then an official with the State Department—was one of the originators of the lie that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The claim was used as a pretext for the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.

‘Gun Owners for Harris’ Group Has Just 8 Members Per State.

A gun owners coalition supporting Vice President Kamala Harris‘s presidential campaign has only eight members on average in each state it is active in. GIFFORDS Gun Owners for Harris-Walz, organized by a pro-gun control PAC founded by former Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), reports having just 400 active members across 45 total U.S. states as of its launch on Thursday.

The Democrat gun owners group aims to organize pro-gun voters in support of Harris and Walz, a demographic with which Democrats have almost universally struggled to win over for decades. Additionally, GIFFORDS Gun Owners for Harris-Walz says it will provide cover for the Democratic presidential ticket from Republican attacks highlighting Harris and Walz’s past anti-Second Amendment stances.

Giffords is one of the Democratic Party’s most visible advocates for gun control. Notably, she was featured on the main stage of the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) alongside her husband, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ). In 2020, she also appeared on the party convention’s main stage, backing Joe Biden and pushing for stringent gun control laws.

GUN OWNERS FOR GUN CONTROL?

The former Arizona Congressman, once seen as moderate on gun policy, founded the pro-gun control GIFFORDS PAC after being shot in the head in an assassination attempt in 2011. Giffords suffered a severe brain injury as a result of the shooting but has since regained much of her ability to speak and walk.

Kamala Harris claims she owns a handgun, a point which she emphasized during the September presidential debate with former President Donald J. Trump. Despite the claim, the Harris campaign has been evasive when pressed for more details about the firearm.

Meanwhile, Harris’s running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), suffered an embarrassing gaffe during his debate square-off with Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) earlier this week while defending his anti-Second Amendment record. While attempting to use school shootings as a shield, Walz stated that he had “befriended school shooters.”

Chicks Dig JD Vance After Debate Performance.

President Donald J. Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), saw a significant improvement in his standing with female voters after his vice presidential debate with Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) earlier this week. The data indicates that Vance far outperformed expectations, while Walz—the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee—underperformed.

Prior to Tuesday’s debate, 56 percent of female respondents to a CNN survey were more inclined to believe Walz would do better than Vance. Meanwhile, 44 percent said they believed Vance would best Kamala Harris’s vice presidential nominee.

However, a second CNN poll, taken immediately after the vice presidential debate, shows Vance overtaking Walz, with 51 percent of women saying the Ohio Republican performed better. Conversely, 49 percent said Walz did a better job. The data also shows Vance’s approval ratings among female voters increasing after his debate performance, with a 12-point shift in his favor.

Vance’s overall favorability ratings also appear to be improving, with the Republican vice presidential nominee seeing significant increases in popularity across voter demographics. The Ohio Senator’s favorable ratings jumped 10 points among men and eight points among minorities. Additionally, he saw improvement among voters over the age of 45, moving from a 35 percent favorable rating pre-debate to 47 percent post-debate.

The National Pulse previously reported that international media outlets were nearly unanimous in declaring Vance the winner of the debate. Publications in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada noted Vance came across as “polished” and “genteel.”

Meanwhile, the foreign press panned Walz‘s performance, stating the Minnesota Democrat appeared “visibly nervous,” “distinctly uncomfortable,” and “confused.”

Melania Trump Appears to Call Abortion an ‘Essential Right.’

In her new memoir, former First Lady Melania Trump has revealed that she supports a so-called “right” to abortion access, despite her Roman Catholic faith and her husband, President Donald J. Trump, being pro-life. The book, titled Melania, is set for release on Tuesday, but the Guardian received a copy early, which revealed the former First Lady’s left-wing, anti-life views.

Mrs. Trump argues that a woman’s right to make choices about her own body is tied to her individual liberty, asserting that such control is vital for maintaining personal dignity. This revelation comes in the lead-up to the presidential election, wherein abortion rights have become a key issue in the race between Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

Harris and the Democrats are radically pro-abortion, having featured a mobile abortion clinic at the Democratic National Convention this year. Harris has constantly railed against abortion bans, blaming the death of a woman in Georgia on a “Trump abortion ban” despite her death being caused by an abortion pill.

This week, a judge in Georgia overturned the state’s six-week abortion ban, arguing it infringed on women’s rights. The rights of the unborn baby, however, were limited to when the child becomes “viable.”

Trump, meanwhile, supported overturning Roe v. Wade, sending abortion issues back to the states. He has not declared support for banning abortion entirely; however, as he indicated, he would likely veto any proposed federal abortion ban.

Melania’s views also contradict her Catholic faith, as the Catholic church teaches that all abortion is wrong as it murders an innocent child. Pope Francis, while seen as controversial on some issues, has stated this clearly on many occasions, calling abortion doctors “hitmen.”

The National Pulse reached out to several members and spokesmen for the Trump campaign, who refused to respond.

Trump Now Winning Amongst Arab American Voters!?

A recent survey by the Arab American Institute indicates a shift in Arab-American voter preferences, with a slight majority planning to support former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election. The poll reveals that 42 percent of Arab-American voters are inclined to vote for Trump, compared to 41 percent favoring Harris. Trump’s lead increases among those who say they’re “very likely to vote,” with 46 percent supporting him versus 42 percent for Harris.

Vice President Harris has gained some popularity among Arab Americans compared to Joe Biden post-October 7; however, her support is still 18 points below what Biden secured in 2020. The survey also shows that 46 percent of Arab Americans prefer the Republican Party to maintain control of the House, as opposed to 43 percent favoring the Democratic Party.

Enthusiasm among Arab-American Democrats stands at 67 percent, whereas 80 percent of Republican counterparts express similar enthusiasm. A majority of 55 percent of Arab-American voters aged 18 to 29 report a lack of enthusiasm about the election.

ISRAEL.

The Biden-Harris government’s policies regarding Israel and Gaza are a crucial factor in diminishing Democratic support. Of those surveyed, 81 percent consider the Gaza crisis significant in their voting decision, rising to 95 percent among Arab-American Muslims.

Following the debate between Trump and Harris, Reem Abuelhaj of the No Ceasefire No Vote organization warned that Harris being “pretty clear… that she will continue Biden’s policy of unconditional military and financial support for Israel’s war on Gaza” will leave many Muslim voters feeling “unable to cast their ballot for a candidate who is actively supporting genocide.”

The Uncommitted National Movement that tried to pressure Biden into taking a more anti-Israel stance during the Democrat primaries is refusing to endorse Harris. Meanwhile, Amer Ghalib, the mayor of Muslim-majority Hamtramck, Michigan, is endorsing Trump.

Biden-Harris Govt Says FEMA Needs Money for Hurricanes After Agency Spends $1 Billion Housing Illegals.

The Biden-Harris government’s Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is suggesting the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)—a subagency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ostensibly tasked with responding to natural disasters—likely will not have enough money in its budget to get through hurricane season. While FEMA claims the catastrophic damage and costs from Hurricane Helene will limit its ability to respond to future storms, the agency announced $380 million in supplemental funding for illegal immigrant housing just a month ago—bringing the total to over $1 billion for the 2024 fiscal year.

Mayorkas made the remarks while traveling with President Joe Biden to North Carolina, where the western part of the state has seen catastrophic flooding and mudslides—with at least 160 declared dead so far—in the wake of Helene. The Biden cabinet official made similar claims in June, telling Congress that FEMA was underbudgeted.

In fiscal year 2024, FEMA saw an allocation of around $20 billion, while DHS received over $61 billion in total. In April, the disaster management agency announced it would “provide $640.9 million of available funds to enable non-federal entities to off-set allowable costs incurred for services associated with noncitizen migrant arrivals in their communities.” These grant funds primarily go to paying for food and shelter for illegal immigrants as they await their appearance before an immigration judge.

Despite the initial allotment for illegal immigrant housing, FEMA announced at the end of August that it would make an additional $380 million in grants available. The supplemental grants bring FEMA’s total spending on shelter and food for illegal immigrants to over $1 billion for the fiscal year.

The National Pulse reported earlier this week that eight illegal immigrants were arrested in flood-ravaged eastern Tennesse for looting in Hurricane Helene’s aftermath.

Single Sector on U.S. Northern Border Sees Unprecedented Surge of Illegals, More Than Past 17 Years Combined.

A Border Patrol sector on the United States-Canadian border has seen an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants in the last year. Covering New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire, the sector has seen border agents detain nearly 20,000 illegal immigrants for the fiscal year 2024. The number of arrests suggests the surge of illegal crossings under the Biden-Harris government is not just impacting the southern border.

According to Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia, who oversees the U.S. border’s Swanton Sector, his agents have apprehended 19,222 individuals attempting to cross the border from Canada illegally. He adds that the detained are believed to originate from at least 97 different countries—adding further evidence that the U.S. border crisis is no longer just fueled by illegal immigrants from a handful of Central and South American countries.

Concerningly, the border data released by Garcia shows that far fewer illegal immigrants—6,925—were arrested in his sector in the 2023 fiscal year, and 1,065 in the fiscal year 2022. The number of illegals arrested while crossing from Canada in the Swanton Sector only broke 1,000 apprehensions in a single fiscal year under President Donald J. Trump and has otherwise not crossed into the quadruple digits since 2010.

The Biden-Harris government’s executive action, allegedly intended to reduce the number of asylum seekers entering the United States, only applies to the southern border with Mexico. It is unclear when, in the fiscal year 2024, the Swanton Sector saw the most illegal crossings. The National Pulse reported in August that the Biden-Harris government’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has sought to expedite the asylum process for illegal immigrants entering from Canada.

Harris Reveals Insomnia Struggles, Was Sleep-Deprived During Walz Selection.

Vice President Kamala Harris disclosed on Monday that she had insomnia following President Joe Biden’s endorsement of her as his successor. She also revealed that she was sleep-deprived on the morning she selected her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

According to Harris, 59, her decision to select Walz was largely intuitive, made after a sleepless night. “From the time that the president called me and told me he wasn’t running, I mean, it’s just like everything was in speedy, speedy motion, and I was not sleeping so well,” she told the All the Smoke podcast. Meanwhile, when Harris explains her reasoning for picking Walz, her description is disjointed and confusing: “If you look at Tim Walz and you look at me, and you have a sense of who we are and where we came from, you think we have nothing in common.”

“But his, you know, he comes from and grew up in the same kind of, you know, different part of the country,” she continued. “You know, folks were a different color, from a different culture, but same people. Hardworking people, straight-talking people, people who have values, and I just found that so familiar to me.”

“The process was, ultimately, I made a decision about my gut, around, like, do you, not that any of the other candidates didn’t, but just, do you, do you have a connection to the people and a life experience that is about just seeing people. And, but, it was a whole thing,” Harris rambled.

AN UNINSPIRED CHOICE? 

Walz is the Governor of Minnesota, but the people in his home state of Nebraska—including his own family — largely support Donald J. Trump.

There is speculation Harris did not pick him not because he has “a connection to the people and a life experience that is about just seeing people,” but because his main rival for running mate, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, is Jewish and a veteran of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Some in the Democratic Party believe picking Shapiro would unlikely play well with Muslim voters.

Walz, by contrast, has built strong ties with Minnesota’s large Somali population, declaring that “the Somali community’s footprint on the cultural and demographic landscape of our state is invaluable.”

Doug Emhoff Allegedly Slapped NYC Girlfriend at 2012 Gala.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, is being accused of physically assaulting his former girlfriend in 2012 during an event at the Cannes Film Festival in France. The Second Gentleman allegedly slapped his then-girlfriend after confronting her for apparently flirting with a valet worker. Three unnamed friends of the woman are raising the assault accusations.

Emhoff, an entertainment lawyer, reportedly struck his then-girlfriend, a New York attorney, so forcefully that she spun around. The woman contacted one of her friends immediately after the incident, sobbing as she recounted that Emhoff had hit her. Another friend, also a New York-based attorney, corroborated the story, adding that the woman had been completely caught off guard by the sudden attack. A third friend, currently a corporate executive, recounted being told about the incident in 2018.

The relationship between Emhoff and the woman began on Match.com in early 2012 and had become serious within three months. In the Spring of 2012, they traveled to the Cannes Film Festival, where Hollywood sex offenders Harvey Weinstein and Roman Polanski were also in attendance. The trip was cut short after the alleged assault. Emhoff is said to have returned to Los Angeles for his daughter’s birthday, breaking off the relationship with his then-girlfriend.

BIDEN CAMPAIGN KNEW.

In August, Emhoff admitted to CNN that he had cheated on his first wife, a situation that reportedly involved a nanny who became pregnant but did not keep the baby. Emhoff’s history, including these latest allegations, was reportedly disclosed during the vetting process before Harris was selected as the Democratic Party vice presidential nominee by Joe Biden before the 2020 election.

Investigative reporter Laura Loomer has unearthed video of individuals walking the red carpet at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, with a man—who is clearly Emhoff—appearing alongside a woman in a red dress. The video appears to corroborate that the two were at Cannes in 2012.

Tim Walz Appointee Says ‘Irreversibly Racist’ U.S. Must Be ‘Overthrown.’

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz appointed Macalester College Professor Brian Lozenski, who believes the U.S. is “irreversibly racist” and should be “overthrown,” to develop a new “ethnic studies” curriculum in the North Star state. During a Zoom call in the Spring of 2022, Lozenski described himself as a critical race theorist, stating that critical race theory (CRT) is anti-America and is intended to dismantle the country.

“The first tenet of Critical Race Theory is that the United States as constructed is irreversibly racist. So, if the nation-state as constructed is irreversibly racist, then it must be done [away] with; it must be overthrown,” Lozenski said.

“[W]e can’t be like, ‘Oh, no, Critical Race Theory is just about telling our stories and diversity’—it’s not about that. It’s about overthrow; it’s insurgent,” he reiterated, adding that while CRT‘s critics “don’t understand” it, they “actually tell some truth” when they characterize it as “anti-state.”

“You can’t be a critical race theorist and be pro-U.S.,” he explained. “[I]t says the United States needs to be deconstructed, period.”

Lozenski was appointed to Governor Walz’s state education department to help devise a statewide “implementation framework” for “ethnic studies,” which is being incorporated into social studies standards alongside teaching on citizenship, economics, history, and related subjects.

Governor Walz, facing mounting pressure over Lozenski’s appointment, is preparing for a vice-presidential debate with Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Tuesday. Education, particularly declining student performance in Minnesota under Walz, is likely to be among the issues the would-be vice presidents discuss.
