NPR Editor Who Exposed Far-Left Bias Suspended Without Pay.

National Public Radio (NPR) has suspended veteran editor Uri Berliner after he published a scathing criticism of the news organization in The Free Press last week. Berliner’s commentary contented that NPR had abandoned any pretense of objective journalism and instead had become a willing mouthpiece for partisan propaganda pushed by the likes of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).

The news organization‘s executives suspended Berliner without pay for five days on Friday. They contended that his opinion editorial at The Free Press contravened company rules regarding contributions to external media outlets. NPR requires its journalists to receive company leadership approval before publishing content at a rival media outlet.

The veteran NPR editor’s revelations of rampant partisan political bias in news coverage have thrown the company into disarray, especially as additional scrutiny now mounts against the outlet’s new CEO, Katherine Maher. Appointed in March, Maher has led the taxpayer-funded broadcaster’s pushback against Berliner.

“Questioning whether our people are serving our mission with integrity, based on little more than the recognition of their identity, is profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning,” she complained. The National Pulse has detailed several instances where Maher has demonstrated extreme left-wing bias herself, including posting anti-Donald Trump diatribes while serving as an executive at Wikimedia. Maher also claimed it would be unfair for her to leave the U.S. when Trump was elected President as she would be using her “cis white mobility privilege.”

NPR issued a “final warning” to Berliner in a memo, informing the editor that further policy breaches would result in his dismissal. Berliner’s former colleagues believe the veteran editor’s days are numbered at the taxpayer-funded news outlet. “It seems to me that it would be very difficult for him now at NPR,” one individual told Fox News.

WATCH: Joy Reid Says ‘Go DEI!’ – Admits Diversity Hires Are Behind Trump Persecution.

MSNBC host Joy Reid has had another diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) moment. The DEI-obsessed anchor admitted: “For me, there is something wonderfully poetic about the fact that the first person to criminally prosecute Donald Trump is a black Harvard grad. And a black woman is doing the same exact thing in Georgia. And a black woman forced you to pay a $175 million dollar fine.

She concluded: “Donald Trump is being held to account by the very multicultural, multiracial democracy that he’s trying to dismantle. Go DEI. My DEIs are bringing it home.”

Reid has previously said that “DEI” is a modern variation of the “n-word.”

Reid is most famed for pretending her Twitter account was hacked, to get out of posting anti-gay tweets. She also once claimed the ‘538’ website was named for Al Gore’s loss.

Trump Tells Tish James ‘PAY UP’ After Her Frivolous Bond Claim.

The attorneys for former President Donald Trump affirmed that his $175 million bond posted in connection with the ongoing civil fraud case in New York is financially sound. They have requested that the judge consider New York Attorney General Letitia James‘s challenge to the bond invalid. Additionally, Trump’s legal team is asking the former President to be awarded costs and fees for having to produce additional documents to comply with James’s challenge of the bond.

A Monday night court filing by Trump‘s attorneys disclosed that the bond, secured through Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC), is fortified by the former President’s Charles Schwab account, boasting over $175 million in cash. In case of any assumed risk, KSIC is covered fully by its parent company, Knight Insurance Company, LTD.

Gregory Serio, the previous superintendent of insurance for New York and partner at Park Strategies, stated that KSIC’s bond is reliably secure, dismissing Attorney General James‘s objections about the underwriter’s financial stability. Additionally, Trump’s attorneys have argued that a hearing on the bond question is unnecessary and that the document-based evidence in support of the bond is ample justification.

The National Pulse previously reported that Letitia James‘s office cast doubts about KSIC’s credentials and ability to guarantee a surety bond within New York state. James additionally noted that the company did not possess a certification from the state regulator, which declared its financial competence. In response, Trump‘s attorneys stated that displaying a certificate is not the exclusive determinant of a bond underwriter’s financial health.

Republicans Send Mayorkas Impeachment Articles to Senate.

Republican House leaders officially presented impeachment articles against President Joe Biden‘s Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday afternoon. The move comes after a group of conservative Senators had asked House Republicans to delay the transmission of the articles as they worked to prevent Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) from quickly moving to dismiss the charges.

At the heart of the impeachment articles are accusations that Mayorkas has consistently contravened laws passed by Congress regarding immigration and border security. The documents also allege Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary misled Congress through inaccurate statements about the condition of the nation’s borders, asserting they were secure when evidence and enforcement feedback from Border Patrol agents contradicted such claims.

The House GOP’s impeachment move against Mayorkas had to navigate numerous roadblocks before finally being adopted on February 13 earlier this year. Following his impeachment by the House of Representatives, Mayorkas issued a statement deflecting the allegations. The Homeland Security Secretary reiterated his commitment to ensuring border security and his dedication to public service in accordance with the law, dismissing what he termed as “false accusations.”

Defending his Homeland Security Secretary, President Biden said of the impeachment: “History will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games.”

Dem Mayor Charged With Abusing Teen Daughter.

Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small (D) and his wife, La’Quetta Small, have been charged with child endangerment, assault, and making terroristic threats. On Monday, the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office reported the couple stands accused of physically and emotionally abusing their teenage daughter. Prosecutors allege the incidents occurred between December 2023 and January 2024.

The prominent New Jersey Democrat allegedly beat his daughter with a broom to the point of rendering her unconscious. He is additionally accused of inflicting bruising through repeated punches and threatening to throw her down a staircase. La’Quetta Small — the city’s superintendent of schools — has been accused of striking her daughter with a belt and dragging her by her hair.

“PRIVATE FAMILY ISSUE.”

During a news conference earlier this month, Small claimed the police search was related to a “private family issue.” The Democrat mayor downplayed any criminal concerns. He told the press, “if I wasn’t Mayor Marty Small or she [his wife] wasn’t the superintendent, you wouldn’t hear of this.”

“There’s no corruption. We don’t have Atlantic City Housing Authority money in our house,” Mayor Small said during the press conference, apparently attempting to deflect from rumors the police search involved accusations of child abuse. He continued: “We don’t have city of Atlantic City money in our house. I didn’t steal anything. My wife didn’t bring Atlantic City Board of Education money to our house, as alleged.”

ACCUSATIONS OF ELECTION FRAUD.

Small was appointed mayor in 2019 after former Mayor Frank Gilliam resigned. Gilliam had pleaded guilty to wire fraud in a scheme to steal $86,000 from a youth basketball team. Small was charged with election fraud in 2006 and 2011; however, the charges were eventually dropped in both instances.

WATCH: Cops Shut Down Conference Headlined by Nigel Farage.

Law enforcement shut down the National Conservatism conference in Brussels, Belgium, the main power center of the European Union (EU). The conference was to be headlined by prominent right-wingers, including Brexit leader Nigel Farage, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and Suella Braverman, the former British Home Secretary.

Socialist city mayor Emir Kir, a Turkish dual national, ordered the conference to be shut down. He complained, “The aim of this event is to bring together personalities from the media, academic and cultural world, as much as political figures who share a so-called ‘national conservative’ vision… among these personalities, there are several, particularly from the right-conservative, religious right and European extreme right.”

Police descended on the scene while it was ongoing, preventing people from entering the premises or returning if they left.

Orban, due to speak at the event tomorrow, said that “[t]he last time they wanted to silence me with the police was when the Communists set them on me in ‘88. We didn’t give up then and we will not give up this time either!”

Democrat DA Bragg Asks Judge to Find Trump in Contempt of Court on Day 2 of Trial.

Manhattan District Attorney (DA) Alvin Bragg has asked New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan to find Donald Trump in contempt of court, alleging he has violated a gag order preventing him from speaking freely about people connected to his case.

Bragg, a Democrat whose election campaign was financed by George Soros via a political action committee (PAC), wants the former president to be fined $3,000 and threatened with up to a month behind bars for further breaches.

Judge Merchan imposed a gag order on Trump, banning him from attacking court staff, witnesses, and others in March. This was later expanded to include his family after his daughter’s ties to the Joe Biden regime reinvigorated calls for him to recuse himself.

Bragg alleges Trump breached the order with Truth Social posts about Michael Cohen, the disbarred lawyer and convicted perjuror, and Stephanie Clifford, who performs sex acts for money as Stormy Daniels.

Trump shared a statement by Daniels admitting she did not have sexual relations with him. Allegations a settlement paid to Daniels by Cohen on behalf of Trump was filed incorrectly in 2017 form the heart of Bragg’s novel case.

Illegal Escapes Across Border Into Mexico After Stabbing 2 People and Being Shot by National Guard.

A National Guardsman from Indiana shot an illegal immigrant who stabbed two individuals on the U.S. side of the border in El Paso, Texas, on Sunday. Both stabbing victims were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The illegal immigrant was able to escape across the U.S. southern border, making it back into Mexico before he was apprehended.

Border Patrol announced the incident through a memo stating: “On April 14, 2024, at approximately 13:10 hours, [Border Patrol] was notified by Army Personnel that a migrant was seen stabbing another migrant south of the C-wire, by the river’s edge.”

“According to Army Personnel and DPS Trooper, a National Guardsman shot a subject, who subsequently went back south to Mexico. TX Department of Public Safety Trooper (TX DPS) was contacted, and EMS was contacted. As per agents, two subjects (suspected UNCs) sustained non-life threatening injuries,” the memo continued.

Responding to the incident, the Indiana National Guard said in a statement, “The Indiana National Guard is aware of the incident that happened Sunday, April 14. We support and care for our soldiers and airmen who are supporting Operation Lone Star.”

The rise of violence at the border appears to be a growing trend amidst inadequate security measures under the Biden regime. Last month, another border incident culminated in illegal immigrants instigating a riot, assaulting Border Patrol officers, and demolishing a border barrier.

Additionally, the lack of border enforcement by the Biden government has allowed criminal activity to thrive. The National Pulse has extensively covered the increasing encounters Border Patrol has had with alleged pedophiles, human traffickers, drug smugglers, gang members, and murders attempting to cross the border into the United States.

Supreme Court Allows Idaho to Suspend Child Sex Changes While Appeals Against State Ban Are Ongoing.

The United States Supreme Court has ruled that Idaho can enforce its ban on sex changes for minors while an appeal is pending. The court’s directive was issued in response to an emergency request from the Gem State.

Two teenage plaintiffs have challenged the law. The Supreme Court ruled they, specifically, are to be exempt from its implementation while their appeals are ongoing, but it can be enforced across the state more generally.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), representing the plaintiffs, described the ruling as an “awful result for transgender youth and their families across the state,” claiming it “allows the state to shut down the care that thousands of families rely on while sowing further confusion and disruption.”

The Idaho law outlaws mutilating surgeries and the administration of puberty blockers, hormones, and other medical therapies to minors.

The evidence such therapies are an effective treatment for “gender dysphoria” is extremely thin, however, with England among several jurisdictions that have now banned the routing prescription of puberty blockers to children.

Evidence is emerging that such treatments have dangerous and often irreversible side effects, however, and that most gender-confused children grow out of their delusions naturally.

Planned Parenthood Resists Probe Into Transing Kids.

Planned Parenthood in Missouri is stonewalling an investigation into its “treatment” of transgender kids, refusing to comply with a court order to release treatment records.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey won a court battle against Planned Parenthood, with St. Louis Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer ruling the abortion provider cannot use Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations to avoid revealing whether it has subjected minors to transgender therapies.

Bailey described the judgment as significant for his investigation into transgender health clinics’ “treatment” of minors in Missouri. However, only the Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City has surrendered documents following legal victories over three clinics. Planned Parenthood Great Plains has appealed to maintain its document privacy, and Planned Parenthood St. Louis, which was ordered to release files, has yet to comply.

Bailey has expressed concerns over Planned Parenthood’s non-compliance and promised continued legal actions to protect children and bring clarity.

“It’s extremely questionable that Planned Parenthood is actively stonewalling our investigations,” he said. “I had to haul them into court in order to get a judge to force them to turn over the documents we’ve requested.”

Judge Stelzer ruled Bailey “is investigating possible dishonesty by [Planned Parenthood] in their medical and billing practices” and affirmed the AG’s “broad investigative powers when the consumer is in possible need of protection.”

Missouri banned the administration of puberty blockers, hormones, and other transgender medical interventions to children in August 2023.
