White House Cancels Ramadan Event as Muslims Refuse to Attend Over Gaza.

The Biden White House has canceled its annual iftar banquet, traditionally held in conjunction with Muslims in government, community leaders, and members of the diplomatic corps to break their Ramadan fast during an evening meal. The event is said to have been nixed after Muslim Americans declined invitations in protest over Biden’s support for Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza.

“The American Muslim community said very early on that it would be completely unacceptable for us to break bread with the very same White House that is enabling the Israeli government to starve and slaughter the Palestinian people in Gaza,” Edward Ahmed Mitchell, the deputy director of the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations told the Qatar-owned Al Jazeera.

In an effort to adapt to the situation, plans changed to include a smaller meal for Muslim government staffers and a separate meeting for Muslim community leaders. However, even this reduced gathering faced criticism. Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a Palestinian American doctor, walked out in protest of being the only Palestinian present.

Biden’s backing from the Muslim community, a significant voting demographic for Democrats, has precipitously declined since the Israeli offensive against Palestinians in Gaza began last year.

Nebraska Gov. Backs ‘Winner-Take-All’ Bill That Would Strengthen Trump in Electoral College.

Nebraska’s Republican Governor Jim Pillen has backed a bill that would change how Nebraska allocates Electoral College votes, moving to the same “winner-take-all” model as most other states. This would likely weaken Democratic candidate Joe Biden and strengthen Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Pillen’s intervention followed a call to action by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who spoke out against the way Nebraska currently awards electors.

Since 1991, Nebraska has awarded the overall winner in the presidential election two electors and three more to the winners of its three congressional districts. While the Cornhusker State is largely Republican, the Omaha district voted Democrat in 2020.

If all of Nebraska’s electors were awarded on a winner-take-all basis, Biden could lose one of his paths to victory: if Trump flipped Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada in November but Biden retained Omaha, the 81-year-old would still edge out Trump 270-268.

“California would never do this. New York would never do this,” Kirk wrote on X, noting state lawmaker Loren Lippincott already had a bill before the legislature to reform the Nebraskan system and urging conservatives to tell Governor Pillen he should back it.

“I am a strong supporter of Senator Lippincott’s winner-take-all bill (LB 764) and have been from the start,” Pillen stated within hours of Kirk’s call to action.

“It would bring Nebraska into line with 48 of our fellow states, better reflect the founders’ intent, and ensure our state speaks with one unified voice in presidential elections,” he added, urging “fellow Republicans in the Legislature to pass this bill to my desk so I can sign it into law.”

Trump has signaled his support for Pillen, calling his statement on the bill “very smart.”

DATA: Trump Leads Biden in 6 of 7 Critical Swing States.

Former President Donald Trump leads Joe Biden in six of the seven most critical swing states. A recent Wall Street Journal poll queried voters from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — all states that could decide the 2024 election. Trump is leading Biden in all of them except Wisconsin, where the two candidates are tied.

The former President leads Biden 47 percent to 42 percent in Arizona, 49 percent to 45 percent in Georgia, 48 percent to 45 percent in Michigan, 48 percent to 44 percent in Nevada, 49 percent to 43 percent in North Carolina, and 47 percent to 44 percent in Pennsylvania. Trump and Biden sit at 46 percent each in Wisconsin.

If Trump were to lose Wisconsin but win the other six states, he would almost certainly win the Presidency.

The poll comes as voters consistently rank immigration, inflation, and the economy in general as their most important issues — all areas in which Biden’s policy failures have been acutely apparent.

Illegal immigration — once the concern solely of border states — is now a national issue as the border crisis continues to spiral out of control and illegal aliens are flooding into the nation’s interior, straining resources and committing crimes.

The real inflation rate continues to sit well above the Federal Reserve’s two percent target, driving up the cost of living for most Americans.

WATCH: Pro-Biden ‘Multi-Faith’ Group Releases Ad Claiming God Wants 4 More Years of Joe.

A far-left “multi-faith” group called ‘Faith Forward’ has released a bizarre new advertisement claiming God wants four more years of Joe Biden. The ad is not specific about whose “god” wants the lapsed Catholic, who supports mass abortion, to preside over the United States for another term.

Faith Forward is run by far-left LGBT activist Jen Butler, and actually does nothing in the way of spiritual or religious work. Its primary goal, it claims, is “to defeat the authoritarian threat to our democracy.”

POLITICO reports the group is spending “six-figure[s]” on the ad buy in battleground states.

“On the sixth day, God made all of us. God said we need leaders who can unite rather than divide, who stand on morals and values and who don’t idolize dictators and bullies,” the voiceover says, adding: “President Biden answered the call.”

It concludes: “For such a time as this, we pray to God what is true in our hearts: Four more years.”

Near 2 Million People Lacking Photo ID Have Registered To Vote In 3 Critical Swing States Since Jan.

The number of individuals registering to vote without a valid photo ID is on the rise in three critical 2024 swing states, fueling renewed concerns about the integrity of U.S. elections. According to public data from the Social Security Administration (SSA), Texas has seen 1,250,710 people register to vote without a photo ID since the start of 2024. In Pennsylvania, 580,513 people have been able to register. Meanwhile 220,731 individuals lacking photo ID have registered to vote in Arizona.

Federal law allows first-time voters to register even if they lack a government issued photo ID or drivers license. The Help America Vote Act of 2002 instructs state election officials to use an individual’s Social Security Number (SSN) to verify their identity if they lack other forms of identification. According to the law, the last four digits of a registrant’s SSN are then verified by the Social Security Administration through its Help America Vote Verification (HAVV) system.

ELECTION INTEGRITY RISKS.

Verifying a voter’s identity via the HAVV isn’t fool proof, however. Illegal immigrants who obtain work permits are issued Social Security Cards — leaving open the possibility that an error in the HAVV database could result in them being able to cast a ballot. The government agency has been plagued for years by overpayment issues caused by data and human error.

The National Pulse previously reported that Americans overwhelming support strong voter ID laws. A Pew Research survey from February found that 81 percent of respondents said they favor requiring people to show government-issued photo identification to vote, and 82 percent said they favor requiring paper ballot backups for electronic voting machines.

These new, unreliable registrations in Arizona, Texas, and Pennsylvania are more than enough to swing the 2024 election in those states. In the 2020 election, Trump won Texas by 631,221 votes. Biden won Pennsylvania by 80,555 and Arizona by just 10,457 votes.

Is ‘Never Trumper’ Billionaire Jeff Yass Considering Backing Trump in 2024?

Despite publicly claiming to be a ‘Never Trumper,’ hedge fund billionaire Jeff Yass has become one of TruthSocial‘s most prominent investors. The GOP mega-donor is believed to have purchased a $22 million stake in the Trump-backed social media platform, which went public last week. The wealthiest man in Pennsylvania, most of Yass’s wealth was generated from his sizable investment in the Chinese-owned social media app TikTok.

The timing of Yass’s investment in TruthSocial — made through his hedge fund Susquehanna International Group — has raised some eyebrows inside and outside the Trump camp. Shortly after the billionaire hedge fund manager announced he would invest in TruthSocial, former President Trump came out against a ban on TikTok — despite having pushed for it while in office.

QUESTIONS OF LOYALTY.

Despite the apparent thawing of relations between the former President and the ‘Never Trumper’ hedge fund billionaire, there remains a degree of skepticism as to whether Yass will financially back Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign directly. During the Republican presidential primary, the billionaire GOP mega-donor spent tens of millions of dollars against Trump, funding most of the field running against him. Yass backed Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) early, cutting the Florida Republican a $2.5 million check.

When DeSantis’s campaign faltered, Yass spread his money around, giving $5 million to a SuperPAC backing Vivek Ramaswamy and contributing hundreds of thousands to Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) and Chris Christie. Yass’s $10 million contribution to the Club for Growth in June was used to purchase a slew of anti-Trump television advertising.

With Yass being a significant donor in GOP circles — contributing approximately $50 million this election cycle alone, according to Federal Election Commission filings — securing his support could significantly boost Trump’s campaign operations. However, Yass has never contributed to any Trump-related group, and The Daily Beast reports that the billionaire has no plans to donate to any Trump-aligned groups.

DATA: Michelle Obama Trails Trump by Same Margin as Biden.

In a hypothetical matchup between Donald Trump and Michelle Obama, the former President leads the former first lady by the same margin he leads Joe Biden.

A recent J.L.Partners/Daily Mail poll of 1,000 likely voters shows Trump leading Biden 46 percent to 43 percent. The same poll shows Trump leading Obama 47 percent to 44 percent.

“Voters are no more keen to vote for Michelle over Trump than they are for Biden, with Trump beating her overall and even with Independents,” said J.L Partners cofounder James Johnson. “It was never very realistic, but this poll puts paid to the idea she can be any kind of saving force for the Democrats,” Johnson added.

Anxieties around Biden’s age and apparent cognitive impairment led many to speculate that Barack Obama‘s wife could end up seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. Such speculation was so strong that the former first lady was compelled to issue a statement last month denying the rumors.

Additional findings from the poll revealed that Trump also leads Biden nationally in a five-way race including current third-party candidates, with Trump dominating Biden 43 percent to 39 percent.

WATCH: PBS Claims Trump Wants to ‘Purge’ Gays.

PBS has claimed that former President Donald Trump wants to ‘purge’ LGBTQ people from America. The allegation was made during a discussion between PBS White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López and anchor William Brangham in response to Trump’s criticism of providing transgender ‘treatment’ to children and allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports.

“A WHITE CHRISTIAN EVANGELICAL IDEAL.”

Brangham claimed that if reelected, Trump’s plans as President include “rolling back the rights of millions of LGBTQ people.” Barrón-López echoed Brangham’s assertion, saying that Trump “plans quick action” against LGBTQ individuals.

Barrón-López then claimed — without evidence — that Trump intends to “stop any and all acknowledgment of an acceptance of gender identity and LGBTQ people, period.” She then quoted Thomas Zimmer, a visiting professor of the history of ‘democracy’ at Georgetown University, who argued that Trump will “advance a white Christian evangelical ideal of American society.” Zimmer is German and also specializes in the history of Nazi Germany.

“FULL HITLER.” 

The network then aired a clip of Zimmer, in which he stated that Trump and his supporters are “opposed to egalitarian democracy because [they] fundamentally [do] not agree that all people are equal or deserve to be treated as equal citizens. Only those who belong to the ‘true people,’ to real America, deserve that. And so everyone else needs to either be purged from the nation or, at the very least, accept their sort of lesser place in society.”

“Professor Zimmer added that that type of purging he’s talking about takes roots in the McCarthyism of the early 1950s, where they essentially tried to sweep away anyone across American society that would deviate from perceived norms,” Barrón-López added.

PBS’s assertions echo recent comments from Jill Biden, who claimed that opposition to exposing children to explicit LGBT material is like Naziism. The segment is an example of the Democrats’ “full Hitler” strategy, which seeks to portray Trump and his supporters as a Nazi-like threat to democratic norms.

‘SPAMOUFLAGE’ – Chinese Bots Posing as Trump Backers to Help Biden Win 2024.

The Chinese government has harnessed a massive network of social media accounts to influence the November U.S. presidential election. Independent researchers and government officials say they’ve identified numerous accounts controlled by China, most of which are currently posing as supporters of former President Donald Trump. These accounts often amplify conspiratorial content, such as claims that President Joe Biden is a “Satanist pedophile,” in an effort to spread discord and discredit the MAGA movement.

According to Elise Thomas, a senior analyst at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, the network of Chinese government-controlled accounts is likely part of a long-standing Communist Party program called ‘Spamouflage.’ However, the volume of content being pushed by fake social media accounts is unprecedented. “I’ve never seen anything along those lines at all before,” Thomas said in a recent interview. She also noted that several accounts had previously posted exclusively in Mandarin Chinese before being retooled to appear as though the user is American.

These actions underscore a potential change in Beijing’s approach to impacting U.S. politics, with an increased willingness to undermine individual candidates and parties. Unlike past efforts, it appears an actual human controls each account. Previously, the Chinese government utilized bot networks to run thousands of social media accounts and push pro-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda.

Despite pledges from Meta to address the fake Chinese-controlled accounts on Facebook and Instagram, the CCP propaganda operation appears to continue unabated. An investigation by The Foundation for Defense of Democracies found that at least 3,000 accounts linked to a Facebook page called War of Somethings are part of the Chinese influence and propaganda operation. Max Lesser, a senior analyst with the foundation, told the New York Times: “What we’re seeing is the campaign just continues, undeterred.”

Ex-CNN, NBC ‘Journo’ Tweets Decapitated Trump Image.

Former CNN and NBC reporter Charles Jaco tweeted a decapitated image of former President Donald J. Trump’s head this weekend, applauding little-known band ‘Phonolux’ for their 2020 album artwork.

The move comes as corporate media outlets continue to try to claim President Trump and his America First supporters are inciting political violence, rather than simply responding to aggression by the far left.

Jaco, 79, now claims to run a website called Metro STL, though the web link is broken and it hasn’t published in years.

This is not Jaco’s first brush with inciting political violence. The obsessive anti-Trump tweeter had a post removed in February for encouraging domestic terrorism.
