MSNBChost Rev. Al Sharpton is facing criticism following reports that his non-profit received $500,000 from Kamala Harris’s campaign ahead of a softball interview with the Vice President. Financial records indicated that the Harris-Walz campaign made two payments, each amounting to $250,000, to Sharpton’s National Action Network on September 5 and October 1.
Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is among those voicing concerns over the payments, suggesting there were attempts to “manipulate the audience” when Sharpton interviewed Harris on MSNBC.
The then-Democratic candidate effusively praised Sharpton during the appearance, calling him ‘Rev’ and saying, “You have been such an extraordinary leader over all of your years. You have been a voice of truth, a voice of conscience.”
Sharpton has been described as a “genuine bigot” even in The New York Times, with Brown University professor Glenn Loury calling him “an ambulance-chasing, anti-Semitic, anti-white race hustler.”
Former Congressman John Linder says the Harris-Sharpton MSNBC interview was effectively a “campaign commercial,” with the host echoing the Democratic nominee’s campaign talking points and criticizing rival candidate Donald J. Trump.
The Harris campaign’s financial management generally has been questioned, with reports indicating it spent over $1 billion and still ended up $20 million in debt. Expenditures reportedly included paying around a million dollars to a company owned by billionaire talk show host Oprah Winfrey, who endorsed Harris on the campaign trail.

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s political career may not have ended with her landslide defeat by President-elect Donald J. Trump in the 2024 election. A recent survey of California voters suggests Harris would hold a significant advantage if she opts to run for governor of the state in 2026.
Nearly half of voters surveyed say they would likely support Harris in a crowded gubernatorial race, according to a poll conducted by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies. Among Democrats, who double the number of registered Republicans, 72 percent expressed potential support for Harris, compared to eight percent of Republicans and 38 percent of independents.
Harris’s commanding lead in a hypothetical 2026 California gubernatorial race is likely partly due to her near-universal name recognition and elevated voter interest following the 2024 presidential race. “Nearly all voters in this state have an opinion of her, and that’s really the big advantage that she brings to an early poll,” said Mark DiCamillo, director of UC Berkeley’s IGS Poll. “None of the other candidates are as well known to the voting public.”
HIGH NEGATIVES?
While Harris’s high name identification could be a boon to a run for the California governor’s mansion, her political career in the state is not viewed positively by all residents. Harris has been accused of flaunting state ethics rules as both a district attorney and as California’s Attorney General.
While working in a district attorney‘s office, Harris failed to disclose her romantic relationship with the powerful California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown. Due to this relationship, Harris reportedly received lucrative appointments to several state boards. As Attorney General, Harris dropped a fraud investigation into the health supplement company Herbalife after a large political donation from Heather Podesta, a powerful Democrat lobbyist and member of the Podesta family tied to the company.

Hundreds of migrants in Reynosa, Mexico, near the U.S. border, are anxiously awaiting an opportunity to cross into the United States as President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration approaches. Approximately 850 migrants reside at the Senda de Vida shelter in the town bordering McAllen, Texas. Many have been using the CBP One app to schedule entry appointments.
With months of waiting behind them, the migrants want to claim asylum in the U.S. However, Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris signals a likely tightening of border policies. Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to border security, appointing former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Thomas Homan as the border czar. Homan advocates for stringent deportation measures.
“If Harris had won, people would be jumping for joy and as you can see right now, they look sad, they are feeling down,” one migrant in Senda de Vida told the media.
Speaking at the Republican National Convention earlier this year, Homan was unequivocal: “I got a message to the millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden has released into our country in violation of federal law: You better start packing now.”
Illegal border crossings have increased under the Biden-Harris government, with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) numbers indicating nearly three million instances in fiscal year 2024 alone.

Election polls reveal that parents of minor children voted for President-elect Donald J. Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, becoming a crucial part of the Trump campaign’s victory. This demographic showed a noteworthy shift from the 2020 election, with Trump receiving 53 percent of their votes, compared to 44 percent for Harris.
Parents of children under 18 were vital in Trump’s victory. They represented 27 percent of the overall electorate and shifted 15 points from the previous election when they favored Joe Biden by a six-point margin.
Fathers with dependent children broke for Trump by a dramatic 23-point margin in 2024, a substantial increase from their nearly equal split in 2020. Although mothers of minor children also shifted toward Trump, they still favored Harris by a five-point margin overall, marking an eight-point move compared to four years prior.
A central topic in the election was transgender issues related to children. Trump released an ad during the campaign that highlighted how Harris had supported allowing biological men to compete in girls’ sports.
Under the Biden-Harris regime, children have been subjected to pro-LGBTQ agenda lessons in several states. A federal court in Maryland even ruled this year that parents were not allowed to opt out of the lessons.
The Biden-Harris regime even used taxpayer-funded foster care funds to pay for children wishing to change their gender identities. The money was earmarked for a variety of things, including fake penises for young girls pretending to be boys.
Between 2019 and 2023, doctors in the United States massively profited from sex change procedures for minors. Medical professionals made a total of over $120 million during the period, which saw thousands of minors having gender reassignment surgeries or puberty blockers.

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s 2024 presential campaign allegedly served a large number of union construction workers at a major work site a brown bag lunch that some equated to prison food in an effort to win them over to her side. One union member at the work site insinuates the food was so bad it likely cemented the workers’ opposition to Harris’s presidential bid.
The union worker states that about three weeks before the election, the site workers were informed that they would all receive a free lunch. Many interpreted this, initially, as a lunch provided by the union hall for their specific local—but were shocked to learn that the food was for the whole work site which numbered over a thousand workers. According to the individual, it isn’t unusual for the union hall to cater a meal from a local restaurant to mark things like 30 days without an accident. However, this is usually for only a single shift or group of workers, not the entire site.
PRISON FOOD.
“I walked up to the front of the break area to see several guys in hard hats with scowls on their faces, saying ‘one bag per guy.’ As in one brown paper bag,” the union worker writes. He adds: “I sit down at my lunch table and open up a single-slice-of-ham sandwich on a “great value” stale bun, with the smallest bag of chips, and a tiny apple.”
He notes that as the union crew ate lunch, an individual affiliated with a group backing Harris began to lecture them on their vote and the need to support Democrats. This prompted many to throw their bags in the trash and leave. Later, he says he was informed by a coworker, who had worked a job at a nearby correctional facility, that he had seen prisoners assembling the same paper bag lunches for their fellow inmates.
President Donald J. Trump received 43 percent of union household votes in the 2024 election, with Harris winning only a slim majority.

The U.S. State Department is being accused of engaging in gender discrimination against men in its promotion process for foreign service positions. A study by the Heritage Foundation indicates that in 2023, women were promoted at higher rates than men across all five foreign service officer career tracks despite men being more numerous in the workforce. The career tracks include consular affairs, economic affairs, political affairs, public diplomacy, and management.
Concerningly, the report suggests that the promotional challenges for men are not a new development at the State Department. The data suggests similar disparities in promotion rates throughout the Biden-Harris government from 2020 to 2022. Additionally, a 2020 Government Accountability Office report found that between 2003 and 2018, women generally spent less time in each rank compared to their male counterparts.
“This report exposes the administration’s pattern—under the guise of ‘equity’—of promoting women at higher rates than men, with no logical explanation other than preference based on sex alone,” Simon Hankinson, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, said in a recent interview, adding that the “…findings urge corrective action to restore merit-based promotion.”
Since President Biden’s inauguration in 2021, efforts to strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives have been a priority. Agencies were required to submit strategies to enhance DEI, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken appointed the department’s first chief diversity and inclusion officer.
The incoming administration of President-Elect Donald J. Trump has signaled it intends to dismantle DEI initiatives implemented under Biden.

Billionaire talk show hostOprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions reportedly received a $1 million payment from Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign. This payment, made on October 15, highlights the significant funds directed toward celebrities by Democrats during political campaigns.
The television host, who spoke on behalf of the Harris campaign, is believed to be worth around $3 billion.
Harris’s campaign, which raised over $1 billion, fell woefully short against President-elect Donald Trump, losing both the popular vote and the Electoral College. Lindy Li, a member of the Democratic National Committee’s National Finance Committee, has expressed concerns about the campaign’s financial management. She referred to the situation as “an epic disaster,” saying, “They’re $20 million or $18 million in debt. It’s incredible, and I raised millions of that. I have friends I have to be accountable to and explain what happened because I told them it was a margin-of-error race.”
Harris is also said to have wasted a six-figure sum building an amateurish set for her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where the Vice President revealed she did not have any biological children because she did not want to be “humble.”
These revelations come amid broader conversations about campaign spending and financial accountability in political races, particularly the effectiveness of relying on rich celebrities to influence voters.

The nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., continues to be far out of step with most Americans. During the 2024 presidential election, while most counties across the country saw significant rightward swings, the District of Columbia voted for Democrats at around the same rate as in 2016 and previous elections. Voters roughly broke 90 percent for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race, while just seven percent voted for Republican President Donald J. Trump.
Trump’s near seven-point margin is an increase over his 2020 showing of just 5.5 percent in the city, but the District of Columbia remains overwhelmingly Democrat as a locality. Concerningly, many individuals who reside in Washington, D.C., are government employees, suggesting that the federal government is not aligned with the policy and political beliefs of average Americans.
In the final days of his first term in office in 2020, President Donald J. Trump proposed the Schedule F designation, which would allow him to easily remove federal government employees from policy-sensitive roles and replace them with political appointees. Schedule F looks to play a significant role in the new Trump administration and could go a long way in reducing the D.C. bubble’s stranglehold on federal policy.
In 2020, Trump’s largest share of D.C. votes came from the predominantly white Wards 3 and 6. Interestingly, while Trump still saw most of his votes come from these wards in 2024, his vote share in these areas decreased overall. The President-elect instead saw an uptick in the predominantly black Wards 7 and 8.

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.

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s attempt to woo disaffected Republican voters by trying to pivot to the political center—despite her own radical progressive record—appears to have been an abject failure and may have cost her votes among her political base. Exit polling data suggests that the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee actually lost ground among Republicans and independent voters compared to Joe Biden in 2020.
When compared to Biden’s share of Republican voters during the previous presidential race, Harris’s Republican support declined by one percent. Likewise, Harris’s share of independent voters was down five percent compared to Biden’s share in 2020.
PIVOT TO THE CENTER.
The Harris campaign went to great lengths to downplay her radical record from her time as California’s Attorney General and in the U.S. Senate. In July, The National Pulse reported that numerous corporate media outlets—and at least one organization that rates levels of partisanship among lawmakers—attempted to scrub past stories highlighting Harris’s far-left record. One of the most egregious examples was an attempt by the corporate media to erase the Vice President’s role in the Biden government’s disastrous handling of the border crisis.
EMBRACING THE CHENEYS.
While the Democratic Party’s corporate media allies downplayed Harris’s more radical political stances, the Vice President herself openly embraced the backing of former Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) and her father, architect of the Iraq War and former Vice President Dick Cheney. In November 2021, the Wyoming Republican Party voted to stop recognizing Liz Cheney as a member. Meanwhile, her father ended his tenure as vice president in 2009 with an approval rating of 13 percent.
The embrace of the Cheney family not only failed to draw Republican voters to Harris, but it likely further alienated Arab-American and Muslim voters. In Michigan, Arab-American and Mulsim protest votes put the state out of reach for Harris.
