Miami Mayor: Biden Parole Program ‘Pandering Attempt’ to Get Votes.

Joe Biden has flown almost 100,000 migrants to Miami under a controversial parole program because he hopes to strengthen his party’s support in electoral strongholds such as Miami-Dade, according to the city mayor. The Democrat won the county with only 53.31 percent of the vote in 2020, down from Hillary Clinton’s 63.22 percent in 2016.

Mayor Francis Suarez said Biden’s flights are a “pandering attempt” to win support “no different from giving free college education to students to try to buy the young vote.” He said Trump, in contrast, won support by taking on “the socialist and communist governments that are destroying the countries that a lot of these people are fleeing.”

It was known that the Joe Biden regime was flying hundreds of thousands of migrants directly to the U.S. in early March, but he refused to reveal where. In recent days, the House Homeland Security Committee has been able to discover that Florida accounts for four of the flights’ top ten destinations, with Miami topping the chart with 91,821 arrivals over an eight-month period.

“This is quite possibly the biggest failure of the Biden administration, beginning with the fact that I don’t think they ever anticipated that immigration and the border and their lack of control of the border would be such a big issue in the presidential race,” said Suarez, who is of Cuban heritage.

“There have been over seven million illegal entries into the United States since he took office, which is more than the population of 37 states,” he added. In fact, the illegal alien influx under Biden is already 9.4 million, not including “gotaways.” Illegal immigration under Biden will likely equal total legal immigration to the U.S. from 1892 to 1954 by the end of his term.

Linked to Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF), Suarez made the comments despite having refused to vote for Trump in 2020 and opposing him in the Republican primary race.

His views on Biden using immigration as an electoral weapon are increasingly common among the public. Fifty-four percent of likely voters believe the Democrat is “encouraging” illegal immigration to “create a permanent majority” for the Democrats. Among Hispanic voters, the share of voters who think this is even higher, at 68 percent.

Britain is Letting Islamic Bookshops Selling Jihadist Texts Sponsor ‘Skilled’ Migrant Visas.

The British government allowed Islamic bookshops selling “extremist” material to sponsor overseas workers on Skilled Worker visas.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Islamic bookshops in the United Kingdom have been granted the ability to sponsor “Skilled Worker” immigration visas, despite selling extremist material.
📰 DETAIL: The bookshops include texts which are classed as radicalization material by the British authorities. One of the books sold at the Islamic bookshops, Milestones by Sayidd Qutb, a prominent figure from the Muslim Brotherhood, opposes “world Jewry” and calls for “physical power and jihad” to overthrow Western governments. Qutb’s works also call for jihad to be “carried throughout the earth to the whole of mankind” and claim Jewish people “try to destroy all values and all that is sacred to mankind.” Another work sold at such bookshops, The Fundamentals of Tawheed by Islamic cleric Bilal Philips, states that “un-Islamic government must be sincerely hated and despised.” Philips’s works also support Muslim men beating their wives. It is estimated that dozens of visas have been issued since the previous Conservative government to staff the bookshops. However, despite such material being classed as “extremist” by inspectors from Britain’s Prison Service, it is not illegal to purchase and remains available on major platforms.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It’s a perfect illustration of 14 years of Tory failure: rather than doctors and engineers, we brought in staff for Islamic shops selling books on ‘jihad’. It is beyond belief that the Home Office did not realize this. It has failed in its basic function of vetting visa sponsors for the public good. There should be an immediate investigation into how this has happened, removal of sponsorship powers, and revocation of all visas granted.” – Lee Anderson, Member of Parliament and Chairman of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party
🎯 IMPACT: Britain’s Skilled Worker visa, which is equivalent to the United States’ H-1B visa, has long been controversial. Critics have accused the visa of using a very broad definition of “skilled” work, far beyond the way successive governments have advertised it as a means to admit medical professionals, scientists, and technologists. The decision to allow Islamic bookshops to sponsor overseas workers coincided with the so-called Boriswave, an unprecedented wave of mass immigration into Britain under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. New Labour Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is reportedly planning to scrap planned changes to “indefinite leave to remain” rights and permit the Boriswave migrants to stay permanently.

Knife Attacker Shouting ‘Allah Ordered Me’ Stabs Three Women.

A knife attack in Paris has left at least three women injured, with the suspect claiming that Allah “ordered” him to do it.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Three women were stabbed in Paris, France, by a man wielding two kitchen knives on Monday morning. Video of the suspect shows him saying “it is Allah who ordered me” after he was restrained. The attack took place in a square in the north-west of the French capital and was halted by an off-duty police officer.
📰 DETAIL: The suspect made “incoherent statements” according to Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, who suggested mental health issues might be involved and downplayed a possible terrorist motive. “[W]e need to be very careful with respect to the motives for this very violent attack,” he insisted. The women, one of whom is reportedly pregnant, are aged 19, 24, and 36. They were hospitalized with severe injuries but are reportedly not in life-threatening condition.
🎯 IMPACT: The French anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office is “monitoring” the investigation. The incident elevates ongoing concerns about public safety and terrorist threats in Europe, particularly from Muslim men with a migration background. The stabbing spree follows a recent attack in Berlin, Germany, where an Islamist radical drove into a Pride parade, killing one and injuring 29.

EXCLUSIVE: Burnham’s New Strategy Chief Worked With Convicted Paedophile to Downplay UK Grooming Gangs.

Matthew McGregor, former Director of Campaigns and Communications for Hope Not Hate and current Head of Political Strategy for new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, co-wrote a report downplaying the nationwide grooming gang scandal with a pedophile, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal. Support our work here.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Matthew McGregor, Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s Head of Political Strategy, co-authored a report with convicted pedophile Liron Velleman, downplaying what they described as “so-called ‘grooming’ gangs.” Velleman, also a sitting Labour Party elected councillor, was convicted this year after sending images of his penis to someone he believed to be a 13-year-old girl, as well as asking if she was “at home alone” and demanding to know whether she was a virgin, as well as asking: “Show me your bra.”
📺 DETAIL: The 2021 Hope Not Hate report, titled ‘Backlash, Conspiracies & Confrontation,’ focused on “the rise in awareness and popularity of conspiracy theories” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Matthew McGregor and Liron Velleman are listed as “contributors.”
On Page 87, in ‘Section 6 – Mainstream Hate,’ a report titled ‘Denialism Must End,’ opens by stating: “LIRON VELLEMAN and MATTHEW MCGREGOR review another year in which poison infected the mainstream.”
On Page 35, in ‘Section 2 – Racism,’ in a sub-section called ‘Truth Under Siege,’ the report describes “trumped-up grooming allegations” in England, and supporters of anti-grooming gangs activists of “accusing police and the media of a ‘cover up’ when police found no evidence of grooming.
The segment refers to the case of Eleanor Williams, who claimed she had been abused by a grooming gang. However, in 2023, three brothers, Joman, Amran, and Alman Miah, were prosecuted for historic sexual abuse of multiple white working-class girls between 1996 and 2010. The offenses spanned rape, indecent assault, kidnapping, and child sex abuse.
While different from the Williams investigation, the case demonstrated that organized child sexual exploitation had, in fact, occurred. On Page 115, under a sub-section titled “Far Right Alternative Media And ‘Citizen Journalists,'” the report predicted: “If the lockdown measures ease and the pandemic becomes less all consuming, he is likely to return to his longstanding preoccupation with so-called ‘grooming’ gangs.
On Page 127, under a sub-section titled “Populist/Radical Right,” the report provided a brief overview of Hearts of Oak, a British political commentary channel on YouTube, referencing a Westminster protest organized by the channel’s founders demanding “the deportation of ‘grooming’ gang members.”
🎯 IMPACT: In 2023, in his capacity as Political Organizer for Hope Not Hate, Velleman was invited to the UK Parliament to provide oral evidence regarding the Online Safety Bill, a piece of legislation that has since been passed into law, pitched as aiming to protect children from online pornography, but heavily criticized for its censorious and anti-privacy provisions. Velleman gave evidence regarding protecting “children and adults alike” from “terrorist, illegal, abusive and harmful content.”
Earlier this year, Velleman was sentenced to an eight-month suspended prison sentence for sending a video of his penis to someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl in 2024. Velleman was also serving as a Labour Party elected councillor at the time.
Prior to assuming his duties as Head of Political Strategy at Number 10, the Prime Minister’s official residence, McGregor deleted his X (formerly Twitter) account following an expose by The National Pulse revealing his previous posts attacking and smearing President Donald J. Trump and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
McGregor served as Director of Campaigns and Communications for Hope Not Hate from January 2018 to October 2021. McGregor’s involvement in the report is likely to increase scrutiny of Prime Minister Burnham, who has already been accused of helping to cover up the crimes of grooming gangs while serving as Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester.

Syrians Sentenced for Raping Teen at Migrant House.

Two Syrian men have been sentenced to 11 years in prison each for the rape of an intoxicated teenage girl they encountered at a nightclub in England.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Two Syrian nationals have each been sentenced to 11 years in prison after being convicted of raping an 18-year-old who was too intoxicated to consent following a night out in Winsford, England. Prosecutors said refugee Dilgash Adil, 32, bought the victim multiple drinks at a nightclub on December 21, leaving her severely intoxicated before taking her to a house in multiple occupation (HMO) for migrants, where he raped her and then facilitated a second assault by asylum seeker Diyar Mohammed Abdulsalm, 28.
📺 DETAIL: The victim repeatedly lost consciousness during the attacks and later called her mother in distress, saying she did not know what had happened. Adil was convicted of one count of rape, while Abdulsalm was convicted of two counts of rape. Both denied the allegations and claimed the sexual activity was consensual. Judge Simon Berkson told the defendants they had deliberately exploited the victim’s vulnerable condition, describing her as incapable of giving consent. The court heard Adil was granted refugee status after arriving in Britain in 2020, while Abdulsalm had claimed asylum in 2023, and his immigration application was still pending when the offenses occurred. In a victim impact statement, the victim said she now suffers panic attacks, struggles to sleep, and no longer feels safe around strangers.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It is quite clear you both took advantage of her vulnerable state. She was frankly in no fit state to consent to anything, in and out of consciousness.” – Judge Simon Berkson during sentencing.
🎯 IMPACT: The victim has reported ongoing trauma, including panic attacks, anxiety around strangers, and difficulty sleeping. Her attackers will likely be eligible for early release after serving two-thirds or even half of their sentences, under Labour Party reforms aimed at freeing prisoners faster, supposedly to ease overcrowding.

UK PM’s Strategy Chief Accused Trump Admin of ‘Torturing Children.’

Matthew McGregor, former Director of Campaigns and Communications for Hope Not Hate and top advisor to new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, trashed President Donald J. Trump and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage during his tenure at the far-left activist group.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Matthew McGregor, who has recently been appointed as British Prime Minister Andy Burnham‘s strategy chief, similar influence to Stephen Miller at the White House, previously spent years working for the far-left group Hope Not Hate organization, where he publicly attacked both President Donald J. Trump and Nigel Farage in a series of inflammatory social media posts, calling the President a racist who wanted to kill Black Lives Matter protesters.
📺 DETAIL: During the 2019 parliamentary elections in Britain, McGregor declared that “Farage’s dangerous, divisive politics will be on the ballot paper in 600 seats across this country,” echoing Hope Not Hate’s broader campaign to portray the Brexit Party, now Reform UK, and its candidates as racist, Islamophobic, and linked to extremism. In May 2020, amid nationwide protests in the United States following the death of George Floyd, McGregor branded Trump a racist, writing that it was “heartbreaking that this racist ever made it to the Oval Office” after accusing the President of encouraging violence against protesters. Earlier that year, McGregor also said in reference to White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller,” American immigration policy is being run by a white supremacist who is an enthusiastic supporter of torturing children.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “After years of pouring abuse on those peacefully protesting about police killings of black Americans, Donald Trump is now inciting law enforcement to shoot at people protesting the murder of #GeorgeFloyd. It is heartbreaking that this racist ever made it to the Oval Office.” – Matthew McGregor
🎯 IMPACT: The past social media posts, which McGregor deleted after a previous report by The National Pulse exposing them, show deep hatred toward both President Trump and Nigel Farage and are likely to impact relations between Prime Minister Burnham and President Trump, as well as the relationship between Britain and America as a whole.

Prosecutor Suspended for Assisting Illegal Alien Sex Criminal, Starting Relationship With Him.

A prosecutor in Missouri allegedly aided an illegal immigrant charged with sexual assault and carried on a romantic relationship with him.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A Missouri judge has temporarily stripped Ray County Prosecuting Attorney Camille Johnston of her authority after the Missouri Attorney General’s Office accused her of misconduct, including an alleged romantic relationship with an illegal immigrant she was prosecuting on sex crime charges. The court issued a preliminary order barring Johnston from practicing law while a petition seeking her removal moves forward
📺 DETAIL: According to the petition, Johnston allegedly helped Juan David Gutierrez, a Mexican national accused of sodomy and attempted sodomy in connection with the alleged 2019 sexual assault of a Ray County woman, avoid arrest by transferring the title of her vehicle to him and failing to disclose his whereabouts. The attorney general’s office also alleges Johnston knew Gutierrez was unlawfully present in the United States and failed to recuse herself from his case despite their relationship. Officials further claim that Johnston later visited Gutierrez after he fled Missouri, including trips to Mississippi and Florida. The removal petition also accuses Johnston of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a defense attorney representing multiple criminal defendants she was prosecuting. Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said Johnston’s alleged conduct represented a sustained pattern of misconduct that undermined public trust and posed a threat to public safety. The investigation began after Richmond Police Chief Scott Bagley notified the attorney general’s office of Johnston’s relationship with Gutierrez in May 2024.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “When an elected official treats public office like their personal playground, betraying the public trust, ignoring legal obligations, and putting self-interest first, removal isn’t a suggestion, it’s a necessity.” – Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway
🎯 IMPACT: Attorney General Hanaway has said Johnston “used the court docket as her dating app,” describing her behavior as “unbelievable” and citing “members of the courthouse walking in on her during one of these incidents.” First elected to her post in 2014, the disgraced prosecutor is apparently running for another term this year.

Republicans Slip Behind Democrats in Three Key Senate Races.

New polling averages have revealed that the Democrats have gained a slight lead in pivotal Senate and gubernatorial races.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: New polling has revealed that support for Republicans has slipped in four key races ahead of the midterm elections, including three Senate races.
📺 DETAIL: According to fresh data from VoteHub, an election media organization, the Democrats have overtaken the Republicans in three critical Senate races, namely Iowa, Michigan, and Ohio, as well as the Ohio gubernatorial race. Specifically, in Iowa, the GOP trails the Democrats by 0.5 percent. Meanwhile, in Michigan, the GOP trails the Democrats by 1.8 percent. In Ohio’s Senate race and race for Governor, Democrats have gained a 0.9 percent lead. Despite these polling shifts, prediction markets still favor GOP candidates in most races, albeit with reduced margins. Specifically, according to Kalshi, the GOP has a 62 percent chance of winning in Iowa and a 56 percent chance of winning the Ohio governorship, while the Ohio Senate race is roughly 50-50.
🎯 IMPACT: This data indicates a tightening race ahead of the midterms in November, with Democrats gaining momentum in battleground states. However, as prediction markets suggest that the GOP still retains a slight edge, it remains unclear whether these polling shifts will translate to actual victories later this year. This data reflects similar findings from April, in which a Harvard Harris poll showed a perfect toss-up between the GOP and the Democrats. The poll revealed that 71 percent of voters plan to participate in the midterms, with both parties successfully consolidating their bases. As such, this data suggests that while Democrats have gained some ground, the races are still highly contested. Back in January, President Donald J. Trump gave a warning to Republicans that failing to retain Congress will likely lead to another impeachment attempt by the Democrats. “You got to win the midterms, because if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just going to be—I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me,” said the President at the time, pushing GOP lawmakers to prioritize voter ID and other election integrity measures.

Trump Proposes Tariffs on Mexico Over Diarrhea Parasite.

President Donald J. Trump has proposed imposing tariffs on Mexico following a nationwide outbreak of a foodborne gastrointestinal parasite potentially linked to lettuce imported from the country.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on Mexico over the spread of a parasite potentially linked to lettuce imported from the country.
📺 DETAIL: On Friday, the President threatened to impose tariffs on Mexico due to a surge in cases of cyclosporiasis, a gastrointestinal illness. Approximately 11,000 cases have been reported across 41 states. It has been proposed that the foodborne parasite entered the country via shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms, a supplier of Taco Bell and other retailers, resulting in a voluntary recall. However, as tests at Taylor Farms facilities in Mexico returned false positives, the exact source of the parasite remains unclear. It has also been speculated that the parasite originated with poor hygiene among illegal migrant workers working in American agriculture, as the parasite is known to be transmitted when food or water is contaminated with human feces. The investigation by health officials into the source of the outbreak is ongoing. Since the start of the outbreak, experts have identified a distinct cluster of 72 cases. As such, there may be multiple sources of contamination, although this has yet to be confirmed.
🎯 IMPACT: This represents the first major outbreak of cyclosporiasis since 2019. The last outbreak was linked to basil. According to public health data, the current outbreak has resulted in 308 hospitalizations, with Michigan reporting the most cases. There have been no reported deaths. This echoes a similar threat of tariffs from the President directed at Canada over smoke created by the recent wildfires in the country. “We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their forests and brush,” declared President Trump on Truth Social last week. He reiterated the threat against Canada while discussing the cyclosporiasis situation.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I think what we are going to do is put a major tariff on Mexico because of the lettuce.” – President Donald J. Trump during a White House press briefing.

DOJ Challenges Dem City’s Ban on Masked Federal Agents.

The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against the city of Milwaukee’s ban on masked law enforcement, citing federal supremacy and unconstitutional local interference with federal agencies, such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against Milwaukee, Wisconsin, over its ban on law enforcement officers wearing masks.
📺 DETAIL: The DOJ asserts that the city’s mask ban violates the Constitution’s supremacy clause. The supremacy clause establishes federal authority as the “supreme law of the land,” overriding conflicting local or state laws. The DOJ further asserts that such policies are part of a broader trend from Democrat-controlled municipal governments to obstruct and undermine federal law enforcement agencies, especially U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A mask ban means that federal agents can be identified by far-left activists and thus become targets of harassment campaigns for carrying out their duties, such as immigration enforcement. The DOJ has successfully overturned similar bans in other cities, such as Philadelphia. The lawsuit was announced this week following a series of similar actions by the DOJ over the course of the year.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This Court should join the growing number of others that are putting an end to this type of blatant unconstitutional regulation of the Federal Government,” the DOJ declared in its lawsuit.
🎯 IMPACT: The DOJ’s lawsuit underscores the ongoing tension between federal and local government, especially in jurisdictions that oppose federal immigration enforcement. A ruling in favor of the DOJ could further solidify federal authority over local attempts to prevent federal agencies from carrying out their duties. Back in February, the Trump administration was handed a victory over Democrat Governor of California Gavin Newsom after a California law banning federal agents from wearing masks was blocked by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. However, anti-ICE municipal efforts are unlikely to stop with overturning mask bans. Back in January, Philadelphia District Attorney (DA) Larry Krasner (D), who described ICE agents as “wannabe Nazis” during a rally, threatened sweeping legal action against the agency. If mask bans fail to prevent ICE from carrying out its responsibilities, then municipal leftist hostility towards the agency is likely to redirected towards other efforts.
