Pro-Democrat Group Gets Handsy w/ Masturbation Ad in Swing States

Note: This article contains language covering a controversial leftist ad that some readers may find explicit or offensive.

Update: This article has been updated to include Progress Action Fund Founder Joe Jacobson’s comments to Headline USA.

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Taking matters into their own hands, a pro-Kamala Harris group launched a masturbation-themed ad against restrictions on pornography sites. 

The ad—launched by Progress Action Fund on Thursday and jerking its way through social media—features a man seemingly pleasuring himself before being interrupted by a fictitious Republican. The exchange is bizarre throughout.

“Sorry, you can’t do that,” the Republican said as he grabbed the phone of the self-pleasing man lying down. Loud sounds of a woman seemingly moaning can be heard in the background.

“What the hell, man? How did you get in here?” the young man bemoaned. 

In response, the Republican lawmaker identified himself and said, “Now that we’re in charge, we’re banning porn nationwide.” 

To this, the man pleasuring himself replied, “You can’t tell me what to do! Get out of my bedroom, you creep!” 

In a bizarre climax, the Republican lawmaker stated, “I won the last election, so it’s my decision. I’m just going to watch and make sure you don’t finish illegally,”

The Progress Action Fund was founded in 2022 by Joe Jacobson, an Obama administration alum. 

Amid online backlash over the ad, Jacobson told Headline USA in an email that his approach has been effective.

“Our ads win elections because we speak a truth that no one else is willing to,” he said in comments sent after this article’s publication. “The American people are pro-privacy and they do not want to be controlled by creepy Republican politicians who apparently get off by telling us what to do in our private lives.”

The ad was part of its $2.5 million ad buy targeting streaming services and online platforms in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and North Carolina. 

“The Republican Party is led by weird old men who are committed to invading our bedrooms,” Jacobson affirmed earlier this week in a press statement. 

“As a 30-year-old guy myself, the GOP’s insistence on legislating our personal lives and decisions is disturbing and unacceptable. That is why we’re working to ensure everyone knows that the G.O.P really stands for ‘Grand Old Perverts,’” he added. 

The leftist action fund claimed that 16 states have increased porn restrictions in recent years and that at least 25 states have introduced anti-porn bills in 2023. 

In its About page, the entity suggests it is supportive of Harris. 

“For 2024, we’ll start running ads early in the cycle to help set the narrative of the elections. We’ll run our viral ads in states Vice President Harris must win that also have competitive House & Senate races (e.g., AZ & PA),” it wrote.

WaPo Columnists Cry Foul Over Bezos’s Block of Kamala—Yet Stay for Paychecks

Update: This piece has been updated to include comments from Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty, forwarded to Headline USA after publication.

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A group of 11 Washington Post columnists issued a strongly-worded opinion piece Friday after their boss, Jeff Bezos, blocked the editorial board from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris just days before the election.

Despite loud complaints against Bezos, a Headline USA review found that few are willing to quit their high-paying, elitist jobs over what they described as a “terrible mistake.” 

In the column, the columnists argued that not endorsing a presidential candidate “represents an abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper that we love, and for which we have worked a combined 275 years.” 

The signees included Perry Bacon Jr., E.J. Dionne Jr., Lee Hockstader, David Ignatius, Heather Long, Ruth Marcus, Dana Milbank, Catherine Rampell, Eugene Robinson, Jennifer Rubin and Karen Tumulty. 

Most columnists did not respond to Headline USA’s inquiry about whether they would resign. An email to Robinson bounced back due to a full inbox. Tumulty, however, refused to resign, stating in comments to Headline USA that she loves her job.

Despite their notable silence, the group claimed in their letter that this election marked a moment for the newspaper to show “its commitment to democratic values, the rule of law and international alliances  and the threat that Donald Trump poses to them.” 

They added, “There is no contradiction between The Post’s important role as an independent newspaper and its practice of making political endorsements, both as a matter of guidance to readers and as a statement of core beliefs.” 

Thus far, only The Post columnist Michele Norris and editor-at-large Robert Kagan have resigned over Bezos’s decision to block the Harris endorsement. 

The Post’s choice to remain neutral followed the same decision made by the Los Angeles Times, the largest newspaper in Harris’s hometown. 

Newspapers aren’t the only entities refusing to back her campaign; the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Association of Fire Fighters—both traditionally Democratic-aligned unions—also declined to endorse Harris. 

Foreigners Drive Over 90% of Fla. Looting After Hurricanes Helene, Milton

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Law enforcement officials in Pinellas County, Florida, announced Thursday that over 90 percent of the looting and robberies following hurricanes Helene and Milton were committed by foreign nationals. 

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri stated in a press conference that 45 individuals were charged with looting-related crimes between Oct. 2 and Oct. 23, with at least 41 of those arrested not U.S. citizens. 

Gualtieri stated that the individuals’ nationalities included Venezuela, Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Honduras, and other countries. According to the Tampa Bay Times, only two of the 45 are from Pinellas County. 

“We’ve never seen anything of this magnitude before, we’ve never seen this influx of people from out of the area that are clearly just here to steal and to pilfer and to do bad things and to target these vulnerable people,” Gualtieri affirmed.

The individuals face a total of 68 charges, including armed robbery, burglary, loitering, prowling, grand theft, vandalism and trespass. 

“They’re going into people’s homes, they’re taking stuff, they’re rummaging through their things,” Gualtieri added. “In one case, it was an armed robbery where they went in and stole from them forcibly.” 

Law enforcement officials said they interviewed nearly 200 individuals suspected of crimes but could not issue arrest warrants due to lack of probable cause, as reported by the Tampa Bay Times. 

Investigators also arrested 62 individuals offering contracting work without proper licenses. The unlicensed services, including electrical, roofing and plumbing, cost Floridians an estimated $250,000 in 75 projects. 

”It‘s maddening,” Gualtieri continued. “This is the epitome of people trying to exploit others when they’re down and when they’re out and when they’re trying to rebuild and they’ve got nothing.” 

RFK Jr., Gabbard Explain Recent Exits from the Democrat Party

(Maire Clayton, Headline USA) “Welcome to the Republican Party,” began former Fox News personality and Trump administration official Monica Crowley to kick of a Saturday townhall in Charlotte, N.C., featuring two former Democrat presidential candidates: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and political scion Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Just days earlier, at an event in nearby Greensboro, Gabbard had officially announced what has been a more than two-year transition process from having once been vice chair of the Democratic National Committee to a full-throated supporter of GOP nominee Donald Trump.

“I started to see more firsthand, and experience firsthand, this erosion of the things that had once attracted me to the Democrat Party in the first place,” Gabbard recalled.

She noted how the American Left—once the self-fashioned voice of the people— had turned away from free speech and other traditionally liberal values.

“I saw the party that used to have courageous voices and leaders, calling for peace, now becoming the party of warmongers,” Gabbard said.

“It has become the party of war,” she added. “It used to be the party of working people.”

Kennedy said his family’s storied history with the Democrats dated back to when his ancestors first stepped off the boat from Ireland and were greeted by party members who attended to immigrants’ basic needs—perhaps echoing the Biden administration’s current open-borders policies.

“It was unthinkable for me when I launched this campaign that I would ever leave the Democratic Party,” Kennedy said.

However, the working class party he grew up with was no more and he “[came] to the realization the Democratic party was gone,” he said.

“These are the people who dismantled free speech,” he added.

He blamed members of the current Democratic Party, such as Vice President Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, for straying from the party’s origins as they have claimed free speech was a privilege and not a right.

“Government never cuts the tongue out of a man for lying,” Kennedy said. “They cut the tongue out of the man for telling the truth.”

He, like Gabbard, added the party used to be about the working class and previously had union support.

Kennedy referenced the historic appearance of Teamsters leader Sean O’Brien at the Republican National Convention in July, as one example of the GOP receiving support from groups that have historically voted Democrat.

Kennedy noted the Democratic Party previously had concern for public health and the welfare of children.

“The Democratic Party has always been at the forefront, and the Republicans were on the side of the medical cartel in big Pharma and today it is exactly the opposite,” he said.

Kennedy stated the Republican Party was now the party of health and mentioned Harris bought Doritos for a photo opt.

“Haven’t you heard Bobby, that those of us who try to work out, stay in shape, eat healthy and take care of our bodies,” Gabbard interjected. “That’s a right-wing conservative way of life.”

Arab American Leaders Back Trump as Dearborn Locals Rebuke Kamala

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) It has been a good weekend for President Donald Trump in Michigan. 

Trump received the endorsement of influential Arab American leaders in Michigan on Saturday as the BBC aired a segment from Dearborn, where locals voiced their opposition to Vice President Kamala Harris. 

At a rally in Novi, Michigan, Trump invited several Arab Americans to join him on stage, with Belal Alzuhiry, an Iman, unequivocally endorsing Trump. 

“We as Muslims stand with President Trump because he promises peace,” Alzuhiry said in viral videos shared on X. “He promises peace not war. We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine.” 

Later in his speech, Alzuhiry added, “We as Muslims support this man because we believe that he will be a president for all Americans, embracing every race, color and religion. We are with President Trump because we want a strong border.” 

Meanwhile, the BBC interviewed several Dearborn residents about their thoughts on the 2024 presidential election. None offered positive remarks about Harris or the Biden administration. 

“I’m not just voting for Trump. I am endorsing him and telling my community to vote for him as well,” said a woman wearing a keffiyeh wrapped around her neck. She described herself as a left-wing Democrat. 

When the BBC reporter asked her why she is actively backing Trump, she said, “Because I believe there has to be accountability. Harris is going to continue the same, exact policies under Biden.” 

The BBC affirmed that all the interviewees were Democratic voters. Watch the full exchange below.

These remarks come as Trump and Harris battle to win Michigan in the November election. 

Arab Americans were once considered a strong Democratic bloc. However, many have rebuked the Biden-Harris administration over what they see as a failure to maintain peace in the Middle East. 

The FiveThirtyEight average polling shows Harris receiving 47.6 percent of support, while Trump is getting 47.2, a virtual tie with a difference of just 0.4 points.

‘Worst Thing I’ve Ever Heard’: Holocaust Survivor Rebukes Kamala’s Trump-Hitler Claims

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A 94-year-old Holocaust survivor scolded Vice President Kamala Harris after she cited a debunked article to associate President Donald Trump with Adolf Hitler. 

Jerry Wartski, who survived the brutal conditions of Auschwitz and the Death Marches, expressed his views in an ad for the Trump campaign, displaying his prisoner number.

“Adolf Hitler invaded Poland when I was 9 years old. He murdered my parents and most of my family,” Wartski said in an ad first reported by the New York Post. “I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes.” 

He added, “For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I’ve ever heard in my 75 years living in the United States. I know President Trump and he would never say this … She owes my parents and everybody else who was murdered by Hitler an apology for repeating this lie.” 

In the ad, an off-camera individual asked Wartski why Jewish Americans should vote for Trump in the November election. Wartski replied, “Because he’s a mensch.” 

“I believe that President Trump is definitely going to be good for Israel because everything that he’s done up to now was in favor … he never double-crossed anyone, and he never showed any weakness,” he continued. 

Moments later, Wartski highlighted Trump’s visit to The Ohel, a Jewish holy site in New York City, on the first anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. 

“Why should President Trump pray for the hostages at the Ohel and … spend time with so many? He has always stood with the Jewish people and the state of Israel,” Wartski remarked. 

Wartski’s rebuke came after Harris cited disputed claims by former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly that Trump once said he wanted “Hitler’s generals.”

Trump dispelled these claims, first cited by The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg in a piece also disputed by several of Trump’s acquaintances and former aides. 

Harris repeated The Atlantic’s and Kelly’s claims in an impromptu press conference held outside her taxpayer-funded residence in Washington, D.C., behind a podium bearing the official logo of the Office of the Vice President.

Harris Aides Leak ‘Revenge’ Bloodbath — a Tactic Democrats Charge Trump With

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) If elected president, Vice President Kamala Harris would unleash a political bloodbath for President Joe Biden’s aides who have bad-mouthed her for years, Axios reported Saturday. 

According to the sources familiar with the vendetta layoff, Harris will target individuals who have tarnished her and Doug Emhoff, her scandal-laden husband, since she was sworn in as vice president in 2021. 

Individuals leaving the White House include Mike Donilon and Steve Ricchetti, both considered President Joe Biden’s most trusted advisers. 

Donilon abruptly left the Harris campaign after his ally Biden exited the 2024 race, returning to the White House for the final days of the current administration. 

Ricchetti reportedly wanted to become White House chief of staff in a potential second term of the Biden administration. But no more. He does not have a longstanding relationship with Harris, Axios noted. 

Karine Jean-Pierre, the infamous White House press secretary, will also exit if Harris is elected, marking the end of what many viewed as her controversial tenure as an incoherent and confrontational spokesperson. 

Others departing the White House are Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and his deputies: Bruce Reed, Natalie Quillian and Annie Tomasini. Economic aides Lael Brainard and Jared Bernstein will also be shown the door. 

The allegations that Harris will seek revenge on her White House foes undermine her claims that President Donald Trump would use the federal government for retribution against his opponents.

Axios reported that while staff turnover is common in a new administration, several of the mentioned individuals planned to remain in the White House past 2024. Now, some find themselves looking for jobs or trying to win Harris over in a bid to get on her good side, the outlet reported.

Kamala’s Father Issued Dire Prediction of Migrant Crisis Under Her Policies

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Vice President Kamala Harris’s father issued a dire warning decades ago of the harm illegal immigration poses to black Americans—a prediction now playing out under his daughter’s administration. 

In his 1988 co-authored book, Black Economic Progress: An Agenda for the 1990s, Donald Harris—a self-described Marxist economist—discussed how foreign workers and mass migration could affect young Americans in the labor force. 

“Trends in international trade have moved against U.S. workers,” Harris wrote, as the New York Post reported on Saturday. “U.S. immigration laws have been modified in ways that increase the influx of low-skilled workers, who compete with native-born youths and low-skilled adult workers for low-skilled jobs.” 

He added, “This shift has been a particularly serious problem for blacks, who constitute a high proportion of the low-skilled adult workers.” 

Harris’s book seemingly came in response to President Ronald Reagan’s controversial 1986 amnesty law, echoing the leftist opposition to mass migration at the time, the Post noted. 

Other leftist figures, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, shared this view. In a 2015 interview with Vox, Sanders described open borders as a “Koch brothers proposal” and warned that it “would make everybody in America poorer.” 

In sharp contrast, Kamala Harris has overseen one of the largest influxes of illegal aliens and foreign nationals in the nation’s history. Some foreign nationals admitted into the country under the Biden-Harris administration have been accused of violent crimes in high-profile cases over the past two years.

In 2024 alone, at least four American women—Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl; Rachel Morin, a mother of five; and Laken Riley, a nursing student from Georgia—were allegedly murdered by foreign nationals. 

Several Venezuelan nationals admitted by the current administration have contributed to rising violence nationally, including alleged members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang, which is now reported to have a stronghold in Colorado (with Denver being their alleged headquarters).

Some black Americans have protested the creation of makeshift shelters to house illegal aliens while their communities face ongoing struggles. These protests have occurred in Massachusetts, New York, Illinois and other states. 

Watch some of the protests below.

MURDOCK: When It Comes to Failure, Kamala Has a 100% Dependability Rating

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) For Kamala Harris, failure is not an option. It’s a governing principle.

President Joe Biden has delegated key responsibilities to his Veep. Her resulting belly flops could empty an Olympic swimming pool.

Border Tsarina:

“I’ve asked her—the VP—to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to … enhance migration enforcement at their borders,” Biden said in March 2021. “I hope we can move this along.”

Defying Biden’s urgency, Kamala avoided the U.S.–Mexico frontier until that June 25, three months after being crowned Border Tsarina. She made her second, box-checking border journey last Sept. 27.

Across those 39 months, America’s southern boundary vanished:

Southwest Border Incursions
Southwest Border Incursions / Source: U.S. Customs and Border Protection via Deroy Murdock
  • Since February 2021, the first 42 months of Kamala’s rule saw illegal-alien incursions there soar from 2,450,167 under Donald J. Trump’s like period to 8,326,109—up 339.8%.
  • Add 1,664,203 detected-but-uncaught “known gotaways” from Fiscal Year 2021 through FY 2023, and Kamala’s illegals rise to at least 9,990,312.
  • Under Trump, 11 illegals on the terrorist-watch list were nabbed at the border. Kamala’s tenure includes 382 such illegals—up an explosive 3,472%.
  • Tsarina Kamala lost 323,000 unaccompanied minors. Monsters, quite literally, are exploiting thousands of them as sweatshop slaves. Even worse, boys and girls are raped routinely as sex slaves.
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that from FY 2021 through FY 2023, fentanyl (usually smuggled across Kamala’s obliterated “border”) fatally poisoned 222,166 people, including those who thought they had consumed legitimate drugs.
  • Maria Gonzalez, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin are just three among many murdered by illegals, police say. On Oct. 13, former President Bill Clinton told Georgia voters about nursing student Laken Riley, “a young woman who had been killed by an immigrant,” allegedly José Ibarra, a Venezuelan who broke into America in September 2022. “If they’d all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn’t have happened.”
  • The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimated in March 2023 that coddling illegal aliens costs local, state, and federal taxpayers $150.7 billion annually.
Broadband Tsarina

During an April 28, 2021, joint session of Congress, Biden unveiled a rural-broadband initiative. “I’m asking the vice president to lead this effort,” Biden said, “because I know it will get done.”

No such luck.

“It appears that your performance as ‘broadband czar’ has mirrored your performance as ‘border czar,’” nine senators wrote Kamala, including Tennessee’s Marsha Blackburn, Texas’s Ted Cruz, and Nebraska’s Deb Fischer. Their Sept. 18 letter continued: “Under your leadership, not a single person has been connected to the internet using the $42.45 billion allocated for the BEAD program.”

That’s right: Despite Biden’s Nov. 15, 2021, signature, not one American has been hooked up via the Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) plan, even after 34 months and more than $42 billion in taxpayer dollars.

As the senators explained, “burdensome climate change mandates,” have stymied progress. So have a nine-step review process and a requirement that participating employers give preference to “individuals with past criminal records.” Consequently, Politico reports, “No actual construction projects are expected to begin until at least 2025.”

Bridge-building Tsarina

Biden sent Kamala to the February 2022 Munich Security Conference. Goal: Project sufficient U.S. and allied strength to deter Russia from attacking Ukraine. The Bridge-building Tsarina said at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof: “National borders should not be changed by force.”

Five days later, Russia invaded Ukraine.

Bus Tsarina

Kamala and the EPA have pushed the Clean School Bus program since September 2022. As Thomas Catenacci reported in July 19’s Washington Free Beacon, this boondoggle deployed $965 million to ship 2,463 electric school buses (ESBs) to 389 school districts. Two years later, just 60 green buses serve only 27 districts; 55 districts have fled the program.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee reported last month that diesel-fueled school buses typically cost $100,000. ESBs average $381,190. This nearly 400% higher expense, limited driving range, and poor cold-weather performance have flattened the tires on Kamala’s fantasy vehicles.

Beyond dispute, Kamala Harris is the Tsarina of Failure.

Bill Clinton Calls Kari Lake ‘Attractive’

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Former President Bill Clinton recently called Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake “physically attractive” while trying to promote her political opponent, Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz.

“This is like a beautiful microcosm of the campaign that Kamala Harris is running for president,” Clinton said. “You got a person [Gallego] that grew up under sometimes challenging circumstances, who made something of his life, running against someone [Lake] who is physically attractive but believes that politics is a performance art.”

The New York Post reported that Clinton also said at a different campaign event in Arizona that the Republicans’ attacks have left Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris “extremely vulnerable.”

“More vulnerable than she deserves to be through crazy attacks,” he said.

Lake responded to the recent Clinton’s remarks the next day at her rally.

“I woke up to this news this morning. First of all, you know what, as a middle-aged woman, I’m flattered, okay? I don’t get those kinds of compliments every day. Two – I thought I was a little too old for him. Doesn’t he like interns? Three, I’m happily married to my husband, Jeff, who’s right down here. The love of my life. And four – nobody in their right mind wants to cross Hillary Clinton. It’s just dangerous,” she said.

Other conservatives also mocked Clinton on Twitter.

“Bill Clinton is supposed to [be] campaigning for Kamala Harris, but instead he is calling Kari Lake “hot.” This campaign is a circus tour at this point,” @jackunheard wrote.

Conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong also responded to the recent news.

“The man just can’t keep it down,” he wrote.

Popular conservative news aggregator Citizen Free Press also made fun of Clinton.

“Bubba Bill Clinton strikes again in Arizona,” the aggregator wrote. “Thank G-d for occasional truthtelling.”

Other people also responded to Lake’s comments at her rally.

“Kari Lake’s response to Bill Clinton trying to flirt with her publicly is BRUTAL,” @BehizyTweets wrote. “Bill got rejected quicker than a liberal man’s debit card.”
