Donald J. Harris, the father of presumptive Democrat presidential nominee and Biden shotgun rider Kamala Harris slammed the “fraudulent” claims she made around her racial and cultural background in 2019, during her short-lived run for the presidency, accusing his daughter of bringing shame to the Harris family name “in the pursuit of identity politics.”

Kamala Harris claimed in a 2019 interview on The Breakfast Club radio program, the very same program on which Hillary Clinton made her infamous hot sauce remarks, that despite her career as an anti-marijuana prosecutor, she supports its legalization and used to smoke it while listening to rap music because “half my family is from Jamaica, are you kidding me?”

The interview came shortly after Harris, who is the daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, announced her run for the Democrats’ 2020 presidential nomination on Martin Luther King Jr. day, casting herself as an African-American as she has throughout her political career, despite her lack of ancestral links to the formerly enslaved population of the United States.

“My dear departed grandmothers…as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their graves right now to see their family’s name, reputation, and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not, with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics,” Donald Harris said a statement he made to the Jamaica Global Online.

“Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”

Donald Harris’s remarks have resurfaced in the days since Joe Biden announced he’s dropping out of the 2024 Presidential Election and endorsing Harris, his Vice President, who was unable to poll outside of the low single digits among her own party when she ran for their 2020 nomination.

Because of the Harris campaign and the corporate media’s hyper-fixation on her racial and ethnic background, the fact that her paternal ancestors were slave owners has also resurfaced in recent days.

According to a report from The Irish Times,

Ms Harris is the daughter of Donald J Harris, who was born in Jamaica, and Shyamala Gopalan Harris from India.

Genealogical research carried out by Northern Irish historian Stephen McCracken reveals Ms Harris’s four-times-paternal-great-grandfather Hamilton Brown was born in Co Antrim [Ireland] in 1776.

Brown emigrated to Jamaica, then a British colony, and became an enthusiastic slave owner on the sugar plantations that were the mainstay of the island’s economy. He opposed the abolition of slavery across the British Empire in 1832 and went to Antrim to replace his slaves with workers from his native county.

Brown received almost €11 million in modern money in compensation from the British government for [the emancipation of] his slaves.

Biden to Deliver Speech, Teleprompter Doing Heavy Lifting https://nationalfile.com/biden-to-deliver-speech-teleprompter-doing-heavy-lifting/ Tue, 23 Jul 2024 21:19:33 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=70792 Last Updated on July 23, 2024

President Joe Biden will appear before the nation Wednesday night, delivering his first live remarks after announcing that he would not seek reelection.

The president hasn’t made live appearances since his COVID-19 diagnosis last Wednesday. The Hill reported he is in insolation at his Rehoboth Beach, Del., home.

He will be returning to the White House Tuesday afternoon before his public address to the country.

Biden’s trip to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library to remark on the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act has been rescheduled for Monday, according to the White House.

It has been a reckoning for this Biden/Harris campaign after his debate with former President Donald Trump. Trump’s attempted assassination may have ever contributed to the dwindling faith in the President. After pressure from Democrats, Biden announced Sunday that he would not seek election., endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee.

Support for Harris among Democrats has begun to consolidate, with enough delegates onboard for her to become the nominee, according to The Hill.

Surrogates of Biden told Politico he intends to finish his term. Still, Republicans continue to push for the president to resign, but now without pushback from press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

“The president decided to not run for reelection. That’s it. That’s all he decided on. He wants to continue to do the work. He wants to continue to do the works,” Jean-Pierre said on ABC’s “The View.”

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez grilled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle over the 60-day timeline for the initial report surrounding the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, calling it “not acceptable.”

The Hill reported Cheatle testified Monday before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, telling committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., the breakdowns in security would be published within 60 days.

Ocasio-Cortez railed against the 60-day stated completion, highlighting the tremendous political pressure in the States:

The notion of a report coming out in 60 days when the threat environment is so high in the United States, irrespective of party, is not acceptable. .. It has been ten days since the assassination attempt on the former President of the United States. Regardless of party, there need to be answers.

Again, this is not a moment of theater. We need to make policy decisions, and we need to make them now. .. That may require legislation, that may require policy that we must pass in the immediate term. And without that, we are flying blind.

Cheatle responded by saying the Secret Service has “been conducting analysis all along, and … have been adding additional features to … security details since” the assassination attempt.

She also added that “a number” of Office of Inspector General investigations are ongoing, along with the Department of Justice’s investigation.

According to The Hill, on Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced a 45-day bipartisan, independent panel to analyze the assassination attempt.

Gabbard Compares Kamala to ‘Queen of Warmongers’ Clinton https://nationalfile.com/gabbard-compares-kamala-to-queen-of-warmongers-clinton/ Sun, 21 Jul 2024 23:34:48 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=70739 Last Updated on July 21, 2024

As the news pours in about President Joe Biden dropping out of the election, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard weighed in, comprising “warmonger” Vice President Kamala Harris to Hillary Clinton.

“… President Biden’s no longer running for re-election, and he’s endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president and commander-in-chief,” she said. “I’m going to sound the same warning now that I have been for years, going all the way back to 2020 when both Kamala and I were running for president on the Democratic ticket.”

She is unfit and unqualified to be our president and commander-in chief, and would be incredibly dangerous in that position. The prospect of Kamala Harris making decisions about war and peace, and where to send my brothers and sisters in uniform into harm’s way is not only terrifying to us. It should be terrifying to every American, knowing that we would all pay the price for her dangerous actions and dangerous decisions.

Everything you heard me say about Hillary Clinton — the queen of warmongers — can also be said of Kamala Harris.

There should be no question in your mind that if Kamala is allowed to be our president/commander-in-chief she’ll be the maid servant of this queen of warmongers — the head of this elitest cabal of warmongers that has gotten us into this place.

They’re the one who’ve been calling the shots behind Joe Biden’s presidency. They would continue to call the shots if Kamala Harris is president and where have they led us? To the brink of war with multiple countries in all parts of the world and closer to the brink of nuclear war and armageddon now than ever before.

She concluded by saying, “The choice for us is very clear. If we cherish peace and freedom. If we love our country, we must vote against Kamala Harris in this election on November 5th and vote for Donald Trump.”

Independent presidential candidate RFK Jr. also commented on Biden’s withdrawal with much of the same rhetoric while railing against corporatism. He focused much more on the state of American governing, pledging not to back out of the race and to stand as the “true” populist candidate.

Jon Stewart: Biden ‘Trumpian’ for Not Dropping Out of 2024 https://nationalfile.com/jon-stewart-biden-trumpian-for-not-dropping-out-of-2024/ Fri, 12 Jul 2024 23:56:40 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=69617 Last Updated on July 12, 2024

Jon Stewart shared some previously unthinkable thoughts on his latest “The Weekly Show” podcast, claiming President Joe Biden is “becoming Trumpian” for not bowing out after his horrendous performance in the first presidential debate.

The Hill reported that the washed-up comedian suggested Democrats are trying to silence concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities. Stewart seems to be using any strategy possible to position a winning Democratic candidate against former President Donald Trump. That includes this mischaracterization of Biden to garner more calls for him to drop out of the race.

All I’m saying is if we are taking an honest look at what our best chance to defend ourselves against a perceived threat, I think we are selling ourselves short. And in a lot of ways, using — as, as Tommy [Vietor of Crooked Media] put it — omerta to stifle what could be an incredibly productive, at least conversation. Even if Joe Biden came out and said, ‘Look, I understand where I’m at in my life span and cycle and what I do. Here’s how this government works.’ Rather than coming out and becoming Trumpian and saying, ‘You think someone else could hold NATO together, they could never; only God can tell me to get out of the race.

Stewart referenced segments of Biden’s first postdebate interview with ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos from last week, where he said, “Who’s gonna be able to hold NATO together like me?” and that he would only drop out by the hands of the “Lord Almighty,” reported The Hill.

Although Stewart has been tough on Biden, he has never actually called on him to step out of the race. On “The Daily Show,” he stated the Biden campaign’s excuses for the president’s mental stagnation at the debate were “bull****.” Stewart even went a step further, demanding the campaign to publicly explain how a man with this sort of cognitive decline can even win the presidential race.

If you were to come out and say, ‘Here’s, here’s my team. Here’s how we hold the line.’ But we’re not seeing any of that. Nothing that’s been done inspires any confidence other than the fatalism … And that’s the part that I think has degraded people’s trust in institutions and the government from the get-go.

Trump Ex-Wife ‘Open’ to VP Pick

Whether Biden remains the candidate is up to the DNC as many Democrats have already realized the predicament, calling for Biden to drop out. The president seems adamant about defeating “fascist” Donald Trump. Still, his vision will not be the likely outcome as poll after poll shows the former president with a steady lead.

Trump Ex-Wife ‘Open’ to VP Pick https://nationalfile.com/trump-ex-wife-open-to-vp-pick/ Wed, 10 Jul 2024 20:33:20 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=69582 Last Updated on July 10, 2024

The ex-wife of former President Donald Trump, Marla Maples, told The Evening Standard that she is “open” to serving as vice president under Trump if he wins the presidential election.

In an interview with the UK-based outlet on Monday, Maples said, “I’m open. I’m open to whatever way that I can serve. .. Right now, everyone [in the Trump family] is just seeing how we can help.”

Trump has hinted at several possible picks, confirmed by The Hill, including Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Gov. Doug Burgum (R-N.D.). However, there has been no mention of Maples.

Trump and Maples were married from 1993 to 1999 after his split with his first wife, Ivana Trump. The two are parents to 30-year-old Tiffany Trump.

Maples explained the fallout from the affair, calling the barrage of misinformation as “heartbreaking” and “twisted.”

It’s time to wake up to a higher truth, and to not believe everything that is shown to us in the news.

If readers can recall, she is the woman involved in the New York Post’s infamous 1990 front-page story — “Marla boasts to her pal about Donald: ‘BEST SEX I’VE EVER HAD.”

She also remarked on the “plan-demic,” saying she’s convinced “they’ve been spraying chemicals into our air, especially over America, that are making people very sick and polluting our earth.” Maples said she’s against forced vaccination and that “A lot of people are sick because of the Covid vaccine. Many people died that didn’t need to die.”

People are hiding behind a veil of what truth really is. I think there’s a lot of governments that may be involved in that. .. [Big Pharma is] earning their trillions and trillions of dollars off the back of all of us — I think a lot of people are paid off.

Maples told The Evening Standard she’s “never been a fan of politics,” seeing “how it can separate and divide us.” The 60-year-old actor added, “At the same time, I found myself in the throes of it. .. I’m ready. I am available if needed, and I’m not sitting back anymore.”

I want to step out more, share more and not be afraid of positive or negative outcomes that come from speaking out.

Besides the hit pieces from the tabloids, she commented on the sexual abuse lawsuit against Trump from writer E. Jean Carroll, which awarded her $5 million. Maples told The Evening Standard that it was pure fiction.

I do know my daughter’s father well enough to know that he’s never had to push himself on another person. He’s always had women throw themselves on him instead. I don’t believe there was a crime done.

Maples also hammered at the 34 convictions against Trump for an alleged scheme to influence the 2016 election via hush money paid to washed-up pornstar Stormy Daniels.

They love these little sexy stories. We have a country that is failing. Our cities are not protected. How do we make people feel safe again? That’s more important than having these lawsuits that are not affecting any of us today.

Trump’s senior advisor for the campaign, Danielle Alvarez, told Newsmax on Wednesday that the announcement for his running mate may come as early as Monday. The Hill also reported that the Trump campaign has not commented on Maples as a possible candidate.

CAPTURED: Doug Burgum has a Billion Dollar Relationship with Bill Gates https://nationalfile.com/captured-doug-burgum-has-a-billion-dollar-relationship-with-bill-gates/ Wed, 10 Jul 2024 15:46:43 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=69578 Last Updated on July 10, 2024

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who political insiders say has risen to one of the top slots on President Trump’s vice presidential shortlist, has an over 20-year relationship with Bill Gates worth more than $1 billion.

As Doug Burgum has gone from relative obscurity to being a national political figure and potential vice presidential nominee, the donor class has reportedly flocked to the North Dakota Governor, who worked for Bill Gates at Microsoft after selling his software company to the “vaccine”-peddling billionaire for $1.1 billion worth of stock.

After his 2001 sale of Great Plains Software, Burgum worked at Microsoft as a senior vice president until 2007, and nine years later, he was elected Governor of North Dakota, and received at least $100,000 worth of campaign contributions from his old friend Bill Gates.

Gates went on to spend time visiting with Governor Burgum in North Dakota and eventually purchased a large amount of land there, much to the chagrin of many North Dakotans.

Years down the road, during Burgum’s short-lived 2024 Presidential campaign, he received over $500,000 from Bill Gates’ Microsoft, a corporation generally known for its left-wing leanings.

He also received $4 million from Big Pharma corporation Abbott Laboratories, a prolific PCR Covid test producer and a close ally of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Doug Burgum’s billion-dollar relationship with Bill Gates surfaced during National File’s investigation into Burgum’s background and political record. This investigation also revealed that Burgum supported a Chinese Communist Party-run corporation’s attempt to purchase and develop land in proximity to a US Air Force base in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Much like Bill Gates, the Chinese Communist Party has gone on an American land-buying spree, including in Doug Burgum’s North Dakota, and according to years of public statements and local media reports, Burgum was happy to accommodate them, until it became unpopular nationally.

As National File reported: 

Doug Burgum initially supported a communist Chinese company’s plan to build a $700 million corn mill in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Grand Forks, the state’s third-largest city, is just 16 miles from the Grand Forks Air Force Base, where the military formerly stored nuclear weapons.

Burgum called the Chinese effort, which became known as the “Fufeng Project” and included the purchase of American land in North Dakota, a “huge opportunity” for North Dakota and the community of Grand Forks.

Despite his early support of the “Fufeng Project,” Burgum flip-flopped on the issue as he ran for the GOP nomination for President, and now, as he jockeys for a possible Trump VP slot, he’s doubling down, and even claiming that he never supported the Fufeng Project, which was officially shut down in 2023 thanks to widespread opposition from concerned North Dakotans and public officials.

In addition to the people of North Dakota, the Fufeng Project was opposed by the United States Air Force and members of Congress from multiple states, who cited national security concerns.

Chinese land purchases in the US, which have raised serious alarms in recent years, are related to the Chinese Communist Party’s Belt and Road Initiative for global economic dominance. Frequently, American lands sought by the communist Chinese are in proximity to military bases and other secure locations, like the Grand Forks Air Force Base, for instance.

Elsewhere, China has begun what resemble full-fledged colonization projects, constructing large-scale Chinese industry and surrounding communities in Africa and South America, among other regions.

Pro-Biden Advocacy Groups Pivot to Diversity https://nationalfile.com/pro-biden-advocacy-groups-pivot-to-diversity/ Mon, 08 Jul 2024 20:12:47 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=69529 Last Updated on July 8, 2024

The Pro-Biden “Building Back Together” (BBT) advocacy group plans to expand its messaging with the metaphorical anchor of the Democratic Party — diversity.

“We’ve been very intentional in hiring a diverse group of staff, given that the constituencies that we are trying to reach are Black, Latino and young people, and also want to make sure that we are bringing folks with experience to be innovative and strategic because we know that the playbook we’ve used in the past is not the one that we need to be using this summer,” said BBT Executive Director Mayra Macías.

“From day one, Building Back Together has remained true to its core mission: to help move the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda forward. We’ve been able to do so by assembling one of the largest, most diverse coalitions supporting this administration.”

According to The Hill, BBT is staffing up with five new hires as of Monday, including former Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Hispanic Media Director Javier Gamboa, who will be deputy executive director. BBT will also add Blake Goodman as communications director, Planned Parenthood board member Paydon Miller as director of strategic initiatives, The Packard Foundation’s Andrea Lozano as digital content manager, and Ashley Alvarez as political director.

BBT isn’t just progressive on the outside, as it has shifted from a paid media group to a policy clearinghouse to focus on “allied groups … and unify their messaging,” reported The Hill.

In 2018, BBT’s Mayra Macías played a critical role in electing the most diverse congressional class in history.

Macías plays a demonstrative part in BBT’s expansion and messaging. She explained to The Hill the challenges of a diverse demographic composition due to the wide array of policy priorities:

The piece that has been interesting to be here in this position, and for the last three years, telling folks like, ‘we need to focus on the economy,’ pulling out from polling like, ‘the most effective way to talk about the economy is through testimonials, is through finding impacted people. And it took like two years to finally get the coalition all in agreement that the economy was and is the issue that we need to talk about.

However, the people’s talk has shifted away from policy after President Biden’s poor performance against former President Donald Trump in last month’s debate. Now, the focus is largely on Biden’s cognitive abilities. The group hopes to distance its messaging from that by focusing strategy demographically and highlighting some of Biden’s underplayed achievements.

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum’s name is being floated as a potential running mate for 45th President Trump in this year’s election, but Burgum has a history of supporting the Chinese communist colonization of America and of stabbing President Trump in the back at the behest of the corporate media.

Doug Burgum initially supported a communist Chinese company’s plan to build a $700 million corn mill in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Grand Forks, the state’s third-largest city, is just 16 miles from the Grand Forks Air Force Base, where the military formerly stored nuclear weapons.

Burgum called the Chinese effort, which became known as the “Fufeng Project” and included the purchase of American land in North Dakota, a “huge opportunity” for North Dakota and the community of Grand Forks.

“Adding value to our corn and other raw commodities is critical to North Dakota’s long-term economic success, and this value-added project represents a huge opportunity for producers and workers in the Grand Forks area and our entire state,” Gov. Doug Burgum said in 2021, according to a news release published by the City of Grand Forks.

“We’re grateful for the leadership by [Grand Forks] Mayor Bochenski, city and county officials and the Grand Forks Region EDC in moving this important project closer to fruition,” Burgum added.

Burgum and Fufeng

Despite his early support of the “Fufeng Project,” Burgum flip-flopped on the issue as he ran for the GOP nomination for President, and now, as he jockeys for a possible Trump VP slot, he’s doubling down, and even claiming that he never supported the Fufeng Project, which was officially shut down in 2023 thanks to widespread opposition from concerned North Dakotans and public officials.

In addition to the people of North Dakota, the Fufeng Project was opposed by the United States Air Force and members of Congress from multiple states, who cited national security concerns.

Elsewhere, China has begun what resemble full-fledged colonization projects, constructing large-scale Chinese industry and surrounding communities in Africa and South America, among other regions.

As mentioned, Doug Burgum’s name is being floated as a potential vice presidential pick, despite his attempt to challenge Trump for the GOP nomination earlier this year.

At times, Burgum was accused of running in the race in hopes of winning a Trump cabinet position, or even the VP slot, allegations that he has firmly denied.

Since dropping out of the race, Burgum has tried positioning himself as a public Trump supporter, even showing up at Trump’s New York City trial in a showing of support.

But contrary to the pro-Trump updated version of Doug Burgum, not long ago, he was dissing the 45th President at the behest of the corporate media.

In a 2023 interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, Burgum was asked if he’d “ever do business with Donald Trump,” to which he replied, “I don’t think so.”

“I just think that it’s important that you’re judged by the company you keep and I…” Burgum trailed on.

“You just wouldn’t do business with him?” Todd followed up.

“No, I wouldn’t,” Burgum confirmed.

Michelle Obama Beats Trump in Hypothetical 2024 Matchup https://nationalfile.com/michelle-obama-beats-trump-in-hypothetical-2024-matchup/ Fri, 05 Jul 2024 00:06:34 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=69487 Last Updated on July 4, 2024

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that former first lady Michelle Obama is the only hypothetical candidate to defeat former President Donald Trump.

The poll released just after the Trump-Biden presidential debate showed a whopping one-third of Democrats cheering for the president to drop out. Obama maintains a strong ten percentage points over both candidates. But, so far, the White House has denied any rumors of the president forfeiting his opportunity to run even amid his poor performance and evident cognitive decline.

Although the aggregate shows Trump up by 2.3 percentage points, this poll found both tied among registered voters after the debate, but in hypothetical Democratic matchups, only Obama prevailed against Trump.

  • 40% of registered voters said they would vote for Biden, and 40% said Trump.
  • 50% of registered voters said they would vote for Obama, while only 39% said they would vote for Trump.
  • Other Democratic hypotheticals performed either similarly or worse than Biden against Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris saw 42%, while Trump would defeat her at 43%. It was even worse for California Governor Gavin Newsom, who saw 39% of the total compared to Trump’s 42%. All other Democratic candidates had even worse results, between 34% and 39% to Trump’s 40% to 42% bracket.

Most voters were found to have unfavorable opinions on both candidates — Biden and Trump. Only Obama received a majority favorability. The other aforementioned candidates, besides Harris, had considerably lower favorability and even lower name recognition.

  • 42% of voters said they favor Trump, while 38% said the same of Biden. 56% stated an unfavorable opinion of Trump, while 60% said that of Biden.
  • In comparison, 55% of voters said they had a favorable opinion of Obama, while Harris fell to 40%.
  • Other Democratic hopefuls — Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Witmer, Ketuncky Governor Andy Beshear, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker — all had significantly lower ratings along with a large portion of voters having never heard of them.

Under half of the voters said Trump should drop out, while more than half said Biden should forfeit. A higher amount of Democrats said Biden should drop out over Republicans who said Trump should drop out. The differences emerge even further by race and ethnicity.

  • 56% of Americans want Biden to drop out after the first presidential debate. Trump sits 10 points lower, with 46% saying he should drop out.
  • Only a mere 11% of Republicans said Trump should drop out following the debate, while 32% of Democrats feel the same about Biden.
  • 60% of independents said Biden should drop out after the debate, while 47% said Trump should, too.
  • 63% of White Americans said Biden should drop out, while 41% said Trump should. 67% of black Americans said Trump should drop out, while only 31% said Biden should. And about half of Hispanic Americans feel Trump (51%) and Biden (49%) should drop out.

This Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted with a sample size of 892 registered voters — 348 Democrats, 322 Republicans and 303 independents. The margin of sampling error is plus or minor 3.2 percentage points at the 95% confidence level for the entire sample of adults in the study.
