Peter Navarro, a former adviser to the Donald Trump White House, was sentenced to four months in prison on Thursday for ignoring a congressional subpoena related to the January 6 select committee’s investigation. Judge Amit Mehta handed down the sentence for the two counts of contempt of Congress on which Navarro was convicted in September last year.
The news is the latest in a long list of banana republic-style convictions and persecutions by the Biden regime, which is widely believed to be acting on the instruction of former President Barack Obama. The prosecution of opposing party politicians is almost unheard of in the Western world, though the Biden government has also given its blessing to the new Polish regime to act in the same fashion.
Judge Mehta has not yet determined if Navarro will be incarcerated while he appeals his sentence.
Before his conviction, Navarro’s legal team argued that federal prosecutors could not conclusively show that he willfully refused to comply with the congressional subpoena. As with the September trial, Navarro again argued he believed he was covered by executive privilege and was not required to comply with the Congressional subpoena.
“When I received that congressional subpoena… I had an honest belief that the privilege had been invoked,” Navarro told the judge before his sentence was handed down earlier today.

A shocking new report has claimed that nearly 520,000 rapes resulted in 64,565 pregnancies across 14 states with abortion bans. However, the research, published in the JAMA Internal Medicine journal and promotedheavily by NBC News, appears to be a work of fiction created by Planned Parenthood abortionist and activist Samuel L. Dickman.
The report itself admits to being entirely based on conjecture, stating: “Because to our knowledge no recent reliable state-level data on completed vaginal rapes (forced and/or drug/alcohol–facilitated vaginal penetration) are available, we analyzed multiple data sources to estimate reported and unreported rapes in states with total abortion bans… We also estimated the number of resulting pregnancies based on findings from prior research on rape-related pregnancy rates.”
While claiming a staggering 520,000 rapes, the study’s authors admit this is effectively a guess, extrapolating from a 2016/17 self-reported Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study into National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS).
In Texas, the report estimated that 26,313 Texas women became pregnant over the past year. Data, however, suggests there were 16,510 rapes in total in the state in one year, let alone pregnancies resulting from rape. With Texas’s abortion ban coming into effect on July 24, 2022, the report’s authors would have the public believe that the number of rapes in Texas effectively doubled since 2020, and that every one of them resulted in a pregnancy.
The team that authored the report was headed by Samuel L. Dickman, the medical director of Planned Parenthood Montana and an outspoken abortion activist. In a June 2023 oped, Dickman wrote that “politicians [who have implemented abortion bans] have taken away patients’ freedom to choose their own medical care” and that “it will take all of us to address this public health crisis and restore, protect and expand abortion access for future generations.”

President Donald J. Trump’s MAGA Inc. Super PAC has raised a massive $46 million in the past six months, with significant contributors such as Southern California real estate developer Geoffrey Palmer, Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, and oil and gas executive George Bishop. Each has donated around $1 million to the cause, as mentioned in figures provided by POLITICO. The organization raised a significantly higher amount in the second half of 2023 ($46 million) compared to the first half of the year ($13 million).
MAGA Inc.’s fundraising success shows a growing conviction among Republican Party donors that former President Trump will likely be the GOP’s nominee in the upcoming election. This belief has enabled Trump to retain ties with supporters who funded his past campaigns.
Established before the 2022 midterm elections, MAGA Inc. primarily supports Trump’s aspirations. Following its foundation, $60 million was transferred from Save America, Trump’s leadership PAC, launching its initial funding. This organization, led by former Trump adviser Taylor Budowich as CEO, has heavily invested in campaigns against Republican rivals, specifically Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. However, last week saw DeSantis exit the Republican primary. MAGA Inc. also returned $12.5 million to Save America to assist with Trump’s legal fees.

Failed Presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s ex-spokesman has heaped praise on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (another failed presidential candidate), indicating that the latter is in a “pretty, pretty awesome place to be” ahead of a potential 2028 run for the Oval Office.
Justin Sayfie told Fox News: “My own personal assessment is that he’s got three years left as governor of the third-largest state in the country, and that’s a pretty, pretty awesome place to be to drive conservative change… I expect him to focus on governing and governing with his unique conservative populist style.”
Critics argue, however, that DeSantis is not a populist. Instead, he has governed and campaigned as a free-market, neoliberal mash-up with some anti-woke stuff sprinkled in. They also allege his team and “online influencers” have burned their bridges with the MAGA community that dominates the Republican Party, hampering his chances at a 2028 run.
"Very simply, Ron DeSantis is not a populist… The disingenuity was perhaps one of the largest factors there… He's not a populist, he doesn't believe it, that's not his philosophy… " —@RaheemKassampic.twitter.com/8VzzmEIhjJ
DeSantis ended his presidential bid ahead of the New Hampshire primary, having humiliated himself repeatedly, and blown through a record amount of cash at the behest of his advisors – the “Axis of Incompetence” – Jeff Row, Christina Pushaw, and Adam Laxalt.
“The Republican Party has a tradition of nominating candidates who have won previously and have done well in previous presidential campaigns. Mitt Romney didn’t win in 2008, but he became the nominee in 2012. And there are other examples. Bob Dole, running and then finally becoming the nominee in 1996. So, based on that historical precedent, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Gov. DeSantis run for president again,” said Bush’s former spokesman, Sayfie.

German chemistry professors have sent a letter to the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI), an agency of the German Federal Ministry of Health, writing that “the problems of mRNA-based vaccines are becoming increasingly obvious” and asking the institute to investigate such vaccines further and put a stop to them.
Citing a December 2023 report in Nature, which found unwanted proteins in patients who received modified mRNA vaccines (modRNA), the professors called on the PEI to “draw consequences from all of these listed facts and finally stop this modRNA technology.” The Nature study is “one of a series of worrying developments surrounding the approval of these modRNA substances,” they wrote.
The professors — Jörg Matysik, Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Leipzig; Gerald Dyker, Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Ruhr University Bochum; Andreas Schnepf, Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Tübingen; and Martin Winkler, Professor Materials and Process Engineering at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences — also authored a January 2022 letter to BioNTech founder Ugur Sahin requesting information about possible problems in the production process of Covid mRNA vaccines.
The mRNA vaccines used against COVID-19 are coming under increasing scrutiny. They have been linked to myocarditis, and a recent study by Turkish scientists discovered that the offspring of rats that received the Pfizer mRNA vaccine exhibited “autism-like” symptoms.

U.S. military buildup in the Middle East following the October 7, 2023 Hamas terror attack on Israel has cost $1.6 billion — and the Pentagon can’t afford to pay it.
The tab includes money spent on sending additional warships, fighter jets, and equipment to the region and maintaining their presence. It does not include the cost of the missiles used to strike Houthi positions in Yemen or to down drones and other missiles in the Red Sea.
In total, so far, $29.2 million has been spent on military personnel costs; $708.6 million on operations and maintenance; $528.4 million on procurement; $51.9 million on research, development, testing, and evaluation; and $248.5 million on transportation.
The Pentagon admitted last year that it does not have the funds to pay for the Middle East buildup due to ongoing budget negotiations in Congress. Although Congress recently passed a temporary measure to avoid a government shutdown, military appropriations have yet to be authorized.
Congressional appropriators received the estimated bill from the Department of Defense in response to inquiries about the rising cost of the country’s increasing military involvement in the region. The estimate suggests the total cost could rise to $2.2 billion over a full year.

Arizona Republican Party chairman Jeff DeWit resigned Wednesday following the release of an audio recording of his attempting to bribe Kari Lake to drop her bid for the U.S. Senate. In the recording, released Tuesday, DeWit informs Lake of financial benefits if she steps away from Arizona Republican politics for two years. He also asks her if there is a dollar “number” for which she would end her Senate bid.
In his resignation letter, DeWit claimed Lake “selectively edited” the recording in a “deceptive” manner. He called the release of the audio a “betrayal of trust” and said he was merely “looking out for [Lake’s] financial interests.” According to DeWit, the conversation occurred while Lake worked for his company. He claims the recording and its release were “violation[s] of the fiduciary duties of an employee.”
DeWit said the secretly recorded conversation’s release was an “ethical breach” and “raises serious legal and moral concerns.” Arizona is a “one-party consent” state. Under state law, one may record a private conversation if they are party to and present for said discussion. It appears the recording and release of Lake’s conversation all fall perfectly within her rights under the law.
DeWit claims his resignation came only after being informed that additional recordings of his conversations with Lake existed. He claims he was told that the additional recordings would be released if he continued to remain in his role as GOP chairman.

Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn and Democrat megadonor, is suspending his financial support for Nimarata’ Nikki’ Haley’s presidential primary campaign following her defeat to Donald Trump in New Hampshire. In December of last year, Hoffman said that while he is a Joe Biden supporter, he believed Haley had the best chance of defeating former President Donald Trump in the Republican primary.
The news that Hoffman — who visited child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, Little St. James — has frozen his financial support may signal the beginning of an exodus of major donors from the Haley campaign. On Tuesday, Haley — the former Governor of South Carolina — was soundly defeated by Trump in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary by a 12 percent margin. Trump wracked up over 166,000 votes, the most ever received by a Republican primary candidate in the Granite State. Haley was primarily reliant on non-Republican voters to boost her showing.
While the tech billionaire has primarily funded Democrat candidates — including President Joe Biden’s campaign — he contributed at least $250,000 to a pro-Haley SuperPAC late last year. “If America is to avoid another Trump presidency, it will be because Trump loses an election next year. If he is to lose, it will either be to Nikki Haley in the primary, or Joe Biden in the general,” Hoffman said at the time, justifying his contribution to the Haley campaign.
An avowed partisan liberal and globalist, Hoffman has funded several efforts attempting to derail former President Trump’s return to the White House in 2024. The tech billionaire was revealed as the financier of E. Jean Carroll’s rape and defamation lawsuit against Trump in New York last year. In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to the physically rotund LinkedIn founder as “Piglet Reid Hoffman.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis predicted a low turnout in New Hampshire during what has become a typically bitter media outing on Tuesday, this time on the Steve Deace Show. In reality, President Trump broke records in the Granite State, with DeSantis’s political acumen now under further scrutiny for his bizarre and misguided forecasts.
In his first, soft-ball interview since dropping out of the Republican presidential nomination contest, DeSantis said he believed Republican turnout would fall short of expectations in New Hampshire. He argued that his low turnout prediction is indicative of a greater enthusiasm problem inside the GOP.
“They were conservative, but they did not want to see Trump nominated again, but they had basically been told that it was inevitable, that it was over, so why even bother?” DeSantis told ‘NeverTrumper’ host Deace, arguing apathy caused lower turnout in Iowa. In reality, the sub-zero degree windchill and winter storms depressed turnout in the Hawkeye State. The Florida Governor then predicted New Hampshire would see a similar drop in voter turnout; DeSantis added: “Trump’s going to win… But what’s the overall turnout?”
In fact, the New Hampshire Republican primary saw a record-breaking turnout. Former President Donald Trump handily defeated Nimarata’ Nikki’ Haley by around 12 points. As of early Wednesday morning, the New Hampshire Secretary of State confirmed more than 300,000 voters participated in the Republican primary contest. The previous turnout record was set in 2016, with just over 287,000 voters casting a ballot.
Trump is the only non-incumbent Republican to winboth the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary in a single election cycle. The former Republican President outperformed his 2016 primary margins in nearly every New Hampshire locality — winning many by double digits. Pushing past 166,000 total votes, Trump secured the most ballots any Republican has ever received in the New Hampshire primary contest.

Leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are admitting the far-left political organization is broke and running significant deficits — throwing the group’s future into question. DSA’s National Political Committee members acknowledged the group had seen a “decline in revenue, membership, and overall excitement” in an announcement to the organization’s Bread & Roses Caucus. Layoffs are being floated to solve the group’s fiscal situation.
$2 Million In The Hole.
Budget documents show the DSA is on track to incur $7 million in expenses for 2024, while the group only anticipates total revenue at $5 million. The organization’s Treasurer believes the group can buy itself another year to bring its books in order if it narrows its 2024 deficit to between $821,000 and $921,000. This still leaves a roughly $1.2 million gap that needs to be closed.
Layoffs Seen As The Only Way Out.
Taking a page from the corporate America playbook, the DSA is suggesting the organization adopts voluntary buy-outs for employees — beginning with non-union director-level staff but moving to unionized staff. Additionally, they say they believe the group should delay hiring a new executive director following the departure of Maria Svart.
Addressing concerns that laying off unionized staff runs counter to the DSA’s pro-union political stances, the leaders argue “the situation is more complicated for ‘movement staff’ — that is, staff for democratic membership organizations like unions, grassroots NGOs, and parties.” They contend that organizations governed by “members” have greater legitimacy in enacting layoffs over a business run by a singular CEO.
The DSA Is “Treading Water.”
The current political moment, the DSA leaders argue, should favor the far-left group. However, renewed labor strikes, the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and President Joe Biden’s cratering support among voters haven’t translated to success for the DSA. Instead, the DSA leaders argue the group has “been treading water” and claim “[w]orking people are inspired to transform the world, but they are doing it elsewhere.”
While left-leaning political populism might be in decline, populism continues to surge on the American political right — with some caveats. Even some unions allied with Democrats are waking up to the change, with the Teamsters Union having recently sat down with former President Trump to discuss a shared vision.
