An estimated 1.3 million native-born American workers lost their jobs in August, according to the latest jobsreport from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Meanwhile, the number of foreign-born workers increased by 635,000.
While the August jobs report shows unemploymentfalling to 4.2 percent last month, this drop is primarily due to a spike in part-time employment. According to the BLS data, the number of full-time workers decreased slightly.
Since June of last year, full-time employment in the United States has fallen by 1.5 million jobs, while part-time employment has increased by two million. The data suggests that the labor market is far weaker than the Biden–Harris government portrays.
Overall, the U.S. economy added 142,000 jobs last month, falling short of expectations. Consensus forecasts estimated that around 160,000 jobs would be added in August.
The jobs data has cooled expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut later this month. Expectations that the central bank would cut rates by 50 basis points (bps) rose following the release of the BLS’s benchmark employment revision last month, as the total number of jobs added to the economy over the past year were revised downward by a shocking 818,000.
Holy shit: Foreign-born workers: +635K in August Native-born workers: -1.325 MILLION in August

The Associated Press (AP) has deleted a disingenuous article claiming former President Donald J. Trump‘s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, described school shootings as “a fact of life.” The supposedly impartial news wire service had taken the Ohio lawmaker grossly out of context, with his full quote on the subject of a recent shooting in Georgia being, “I don’t like this. I don’t like to admit this. I don’t like that this is a fact of life, but if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you’ve realized that our schools are soft targets, and we have got to bolster security at our schools.”
Vance also said, “If these psychos are going to go after our kids, we’ve got to be prepared for it,” stressing: “We don’t have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality we live in. We’ve got to deal with it.”
AP acknowledges it provided only a “partial quote”—eagerly seizedupon by the Kamala Harris campaign—in a social mediapost sharing its replacement article. However, it has stopped short of issuing an apology.
REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE.
The news agency received heavy criticism for its misleading reporting. The scandal follows X (formerly Twitter) owner and tech mogul Elon Musk stating, “AP stands for Associated Propaganda,” in response to another questionable report on “Right-wing influencers [being] duped to work for [a] covert Russian influence operation.” This was illustrated with a photograph of Donald Trump, despite the fact that most of the influencers were not Trump supporters.
The “fact of life” article is not the first article on Vance that AP has had to delete. In July, a gratuitous “fact check” centered on a false claim about the vice presidential hopeful having “sex with a couch” was taken down, with the new agency admitting the article “didn’t go through our standard editing process.”
NEW: The Associated Press (@AP) has deleted a tweet which claimed GOP VP candidate @JDVance said school shootings are “a fact of life.”
Vance actually said: “I don’t like that this is a fact of life, but if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our… pic.twitter.com/JfHuHDF3P0
“This is yet another case of the fake news media brazenly lying about a Republican politician,” Vance’s spokesman William Martin told The National Pulse.
”Senator Vance said exactly the opposite of what the Associated Press claimed. It should come as no surprise that the AP lost any and all credibility it had years ago, because they will lie about literally anything in order prop up the Democrats. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has called for all police officers to be removed from schools, putting children all over America at risk. It’s yet another example of how Kamala Harris’s weak, failed, and dangerously liberal agenda makes her unfit for office.”

The Office of the Special Counsel (OSC) determined on Thursday that Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro contravened the Hatch Act by endorsing Joe Biden’s reelection. The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activities during duty hours or in their official capacity. It also bars them from soliciting political contributions and attempting to influence election outcomes.
A report was sent to Biden by the OSC, concluding that Del Toro violated the Hatch Act during an interview with the BBC and public remarks made during an official trip abroad on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
Del Toro, who recently said he had “no regrets” about firing thousands of unvaccinated sailors, made statements such as, “I’m confident that the American people will step up to the plate come November and support President Biden for a second term as our Commander-in-Chief, so that we can continue to work together as free democratic countries respect each other around the globe.”
Del Toro also told a BBC reporter that Biden has shown “strong and mature leadership” over the past four years and that the United States would benefit from maintaining this leadership.
Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger confirmed, “When speaking in his official capacity on a taxpayer-funded trip, Secretary Del Toro encouraged electoral support for one candidate over another in the upcoming presidential election. By doing so, he crossed a legal line and violated the Hatch Act.”
Dellinger also stressed the inconsistency between Del Toro’s actions and his past statements about keeping military functions apolitical. In July, Del Toro emphasized that the Department of the Navy should remain impartial, acknowledging, “Public trust and confidence depend on this.”

History professor Allan Lichtman, best known for his 13 keys, a set of precepts used to predict nine out of the past ten U.S. elections, is forecasting a victory for KamalaHarris in November’s election. Lichtman, characterized as the “Nostradamus” of American politics, has effectively used his election-predicting model since 1981—including calling former President Donald J. Trump‘s victory in 2016.
According to Lichtman’s system—which is essentially a set of somewhat subjective ‘true or false’ questions regarding economic and political conditions before an election—KamalaHarris currently holds eight keys. This, the 77-year-old academic says, means the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee will win the White House.
The 13 keys system evaluates candidates based on various factors, including party gains in the prior midterm election, the incumbency factor, whether the nominees faced a primary contest, if there is a strong third party candidate present, the state of the short-term and long-term economy, and if there have been major national policy changes. Additional keys include whether there is recent social unrest, a major White House scandal, the charisma of the incumbent and challenger, and a major foreign policy failure or success.
CRITICISM OF THE KEYS.
Lichtman contends if five or fewer of the keys fall to “false,” the incumbent party retains the White House. However, his predictive system isn’t without its critics. Statistician and election modeler Nate Silver has frequently denounced the 13 keys, calling the system “p-hacked BS.” In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Silver challenged the history professor to a $250,000 bet over who could more accurately predict the 2024 election results.
While Lichtman insists Harris holds the short-term and long-term economic keys, recent data suggest a concerning weakening in the U.S. labor market. Additionally, major American stock indexes have seen significant losses over the past week as the Federal Reserve is likely set to cut interest rates in the hopes of reducing increasing economic volatility and a potential recession.

Data produced by the U.S. Congressional Budget Office (CBO)—and based on census numbers—is shedding more light on claims that a bulk of American job growth under the Biden–Harris government hasn’t gone to or benefited native-born Americans at all. The CBO numbers reveal that labor force participation among foreign-born residents has hit nearly 70 percent. Meanwhile, the rate among native-born Americans remains below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.
While foreigners are becoming a larger share of the U.S. labor force, they’re also more likely than native-born American workers to lack a high school diploma. Additionally, the unemployment rate among immigrants remains almost double that of native workers. The CBO estimates support concerns that the U.S. economy is becoming increasingly overreliant on cheap imported labor, comprising an increasing share of the country’s lower economic class.
The openborders policies of the Biden–Harris government have fundamentally altered the U.S. labor market and the economy overall. Legal and illegalimmigrants have become a source of cheap labor for countless American corporations. At the same time, Democratic Party leaders hope the relatively poor constituency will become a natural base for their candidate.
According to the data, a net 9 million immigrants—both legal and illegal—have entered the U.S. since the beginning of 2021. Of that number, over two-thirds are illegal immigrants. It should be noted that the CBO estimate is a net assessment that accounts for immigrants who have left the country over the same period.
Most recent immigrants have come from Central America, South America, or the Caribbean. Just over 14 percent of immigrants come from Venezuela, while nearly 13 percent come from Mexico. However, the number of immigrants from Asia and Africa is also growing compared to years past.

The diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) office of the United States Secret Service (USSS) has called for nominees to attend an all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World next month amid concerns the agency is already stretched thin during election season.
The event, entitled the “Out and Equal” Workplace Summit, is scheduled to take place at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, from October 7 to 10. It includes a “gala event” on the final evening and a night out at Disney Studios.
However, according to journalist Susan Crabtree, who made the DEI office’s request for USSS members to attend the event known on X on Wednesday, September 4, many within the USSS are unhappy with the idea as they are already low on manpower.
One source allegedly questioned if sending members of the USSS to the Orlando LGBT event was an appropriate use of manpower.
A lack of available agents was cited as a factor that led to the shooting of former President Donald J. Trump and the killing of firefighter Corey Comperatore in July during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, as USSS agents were supplemented with Homeland Security (DHS) agents who were far less experienced.
Additionally, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) stated that a whistleblower had indicated that the USSS itself had told agents not to request additional manpower for the Butler rally and that any requests that were made would be denied.
The email requesting agents attend the LGBT event also comes as the Pentagon is giving members of the U.S. Military the green light to support the USSS during election campaigns.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that he would prefer Vice President Kamala Harris to win the U.S. Presidential Election in November. The news followed shortly after Harris’s endorsement from noted war-hawk Liz Cheney.
“Our ‘favorite,’ if you can call it that, was the current president, Mr. Biden. But he was removed from the race and recommended all his supporters to support Ms. Harris. Well, we will do so – we will support her,” Putin said Thursday at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. During this remarks, Putin also lashed out at President Donald Trump, reminding the audience of “so many restrictions and sanctions against Russia like no other president has ever introduced before him.”
Former congresswoman Liz Cheney announced this week that she will cast her vote for Harris. Just four years ago, Cheney called Harris “a radical liberal who would raise taxes, take away guns & health insurance, and explode the size and power of the federal gov’t.”
“She wants to recreate America in the image of what’s happening on the streets of Portland & Seattle. We won’t give her the chance,” Cheney explained, on August 11 2020.

Kamala Harris‘s running mate, Minnesota Governor TimWalz, faces a congressional subpoena in an investigation into the misuse of COVID-19 relief funds. The House Education and the Workforce Committee demands documents related to the Minnesota Department of Education’s (MDE) management of federal child nutrition programs (FCNP).
The probe centers on Feeding Our Future (FOF), a Muslim-run Minnesota nonprofit accused of a $250 million fraud scheme targeting hunger relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has called the scheme an exploitation of programs intended to feed children in need.
“As the chief executive and the highest ranking official in the state of Minnesota, you are responsible for the MDE and its administration of FCNPs,” Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) wrote to Walz.
“Statements in the press by you and your representatives indicate that you and other executive officers were involved, or had knowledge of, MDE’s administration of the FCNP and responsibilities and actions regarding the massive fraud,” she added.
An Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA) report has criticized MDE’s oversight of FOF, identifying it as “inadequate” and rife with opportunities for fraud.
Officials have issued subpoenas to MDE Commissioner Willie Jett, Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack, and Agriculture Department Inspector General Phyllis Fong. They must all comply by September 18.

President Donald Trump criticized ABC and its executives during a Fox News town hall with Sean Hannity last night, asserting that Kamala Harris and network chief Dana Walden have a 30-year-long friendship and whose spouses are also best friends. The New York Times confirmed the allegation last month, reporting:
The executive, Dana Walden, first met Kamala Harris in 1994. Their husbands, Matt Walden and Doug Emhoff have known each other since the 1980s. The Waldens — “extraordinary friends,” per the vice president — have donated money to Ms. Harris’s political campaigns since at least 2003, when she ran for district attorney in San Francisco.
Trump’s remarks come ahead of a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, which ABC News will host on September 10.
The National Pulse can reveal the Waldens have donated millions to Democrats over the past several election cycles in the United States, giving to Kamala Harris, as well as Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, and many more.
“Her husband’s best friend is married to the head of the network, and they’re going to get the questions I’ve already heard,” he said, adding, “They’re going to get the questions in advance.”
“In many ways, Dana and Matt are responsible for my marriage,” Harris told a group of donors in 2022.
In July, establishment news outlet Puck even ran the headline ‘Harris-Walden ’24’ – claiming, “if there’s a Hollywood winner in her ascension it’s probably Dana Walden, the Disney TV chief. Walden and her husband, Matt, go back years with Harris. Along with producer Reggie Hudlin and his wife Chrisette, they’re maybe the closest to Harris and her L.A. entertainment lawyer husband, Doug Emhoff, according to a couple Dem insiders I polled.”
Such a glaring conflict of interest would usually have repercussions in a hotly-contested presidential election, but ABC has swept away the claims, asserting Walden simply has nothing to do with editorial decisions around news. This is despite a press release from 2022, when she took the role, which states:
The Walt Disney Company has named Dana Walden as Chairman, Disney General Entertainment Content, it was announced today by Bob Chapek, Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company. In this role, Walden will lead the company’s general entertainment content engine that creates original entertainment and news programming for Disney’s streaming platforms and its cable and broadcast networks. She will have oversight of ABC Entertainment, ABC News, Disney Branded Television, Disney Television Studios, Freeform, FX, Hulu Originals, National Geographic Content, and Onyx Collective. Walden previously served as Chairman, Entertainment, Walt Disney Television and succeeds Peter Rice, who is leaving the Company.

The Biden-Harris regime is spending another $380 million to support nonprofits and local governments in managing the needs of migrants released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the southern border. Overall, the federal government has spent nearly $640 million on migrant assistance so far this year.
The funding, channeled through DHS’s Shelter and Services Program (SSP), aims to provide essential services such as food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and transportation for migrants awaiting immigration court proceedings. Biden–Harris-backed NGOs are accused of helping corporations with cheap migrant labor in the past through the Tent Partnership for Refugees, a federal loophole allowing illegals to work if they claim refugee status.
An investigation by journalist James O’Keefe earlier this year exposed another Biden–Harris government-backed NGO, run by former UK Foreign Minister David Miliband, for shipping illegals into America.
The new announcement follows a previous allocation of $259.13 million in grants just four months prior, totaling nearly $640 million for the year. In fiscal year 2023, federal officials reported over 2.4 million migrant encounters, with projections indicating this figure could be surpassed by the end of fiscal year 2024.
ILLEGALS BUSTING BUDGETS.
The $380 million will be distributed among 50 nonprofits, municipalities, and governmental entities, with New York City as the largest beneficiary, receiving nearly $22.17 million. Despite this federal assistance, state and local governments have struggled with the ballooning costs generated by illegals.
Massachusetts Republicans claim the state has spent at least $1 billion on the migrant crisis. New York’s comptroller estimates a cost of $4.3 billion for state taxpayers through 2025, while New York City faces a $3 billion burden in fiscal year 2024.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates the net cost of illegal immigration to the U.S. at various government levels to be at least $150.7 billion, subtracting the tax revenue contributed by illegal immigrants from the gross economic impact.
