Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley’s failing presidential campaign is being bankrolled by over 5,200 former donors to Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign, lending credence to Donald Trump’s contention that she is only remaining in the race to try and damage him ahead of the general election.
The Biden donors underwriting Haley include 1,600 people who donated over $500,000 in January alone — her biggest month for donations ever, despite the fact she was crushed by Trump in Iowa, where she placed third, and New Hampshire.
Previously, the former United Nations ambassador received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn billionaire and visitor to Epstein Island who has also bankrolled E. Jean Carroll and Russia hoaxers Fusion GPS.
“While I am a staunch supporter of Biden and hope he will win a second term, I also provided financial support to Nikki Haley’s super PAC [because] my first priority is to defeat Trump, and the [Republican] primary is the first of two chances to do so,” he explained in December.
Hoffman dropped Haley after her defeat in New Hampshire, however, apparently deciding she was no longer a viable means of stopping Trump.

The Biden re-election campaign is once again leaning into the ‘Dark Brandon’ internet meme despite its close association with allegations that President Joe Biden molested his daughter Ashley Biden and showered naked with her when she was a child. Staffers for the President have gravitated toward the @VoteDarkBrandon account on X (formerly Twitter), which has worked to give the illusion that Biden is a cold, calculated political mastermind.
“Dark Brandon” originated as an effort by Democrat activists to counter the “Let’s Go Brandon” meme popular among Trump supporters. Democrat staffers ran with the notion of Biden as ‘Brandon’ and then simply copied the style of another online conservative meme, “Dark MAGA.”
Initial iterations of “Dark Brandon” faced backlash after Andrew Bates, the White House Deputy Press Secretary, posted a variation of the “Dark Brandon” meme featuring a Parteiadler – the eagle symbol used by the German Nazi Party during Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. Others noted the “Dark Brandon” image was lifted from Chinese Communist Party propaganda depicting Biden with glowing eyes and an unsettling smirk.
However, the Chinese-produced “Dark Brandon” images were also associated with an entry in the dairy of Ashley Biden — the President’s daughter. The Biden meme featured the ominous text “It’s Shower Time Ashely,” referencing an entry in her diary that reads: “Was I molested? I think so — I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma. Hyper-sexualized @ a young age . . . I remember being somewhat sexualized with Caroline; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/my dad (probably not appropriate).”
Official “Dark Brandon” merchandise purchased through the Biden campaign to raise election funds accounts for half of the campaign site’s sales.
Just a reminder that “Dark Brandon” was popularised by the left following the “Dark MAGA” trend, but has become quickly associated with the allegations that Joe Biden raped his daughter, as a child. This is what the White House is promoting. pic.twitter.com/ZkOjILAdde

An overwhelming 70 percent of New Yorkers believe Joe Biden, 81, is unfit for another presidential term — a significantly worse result than for Donald Trump, despite the Empire State’s longstanding Democrat-leaning. Biden’s results have worsened from his already poor results in September, when 62 percent of New Yorkers said he was unfit.
Only 23 percent of poll respondents said Biden is fit for office while Trump is not, while 32 percent said both candidates are unfit. A plurality of 35 percent said Trump is suitable for office while Biden is not. Notably, the Democrat leads the America First leader by only ten points in New York, which is historically underwhelming.
Trump also enjoys much greater enthusiasm among his base in the Empire State than Biden. Sixty-one percent of New York Republicans want Trump as their candidate, while fewer than half of Democrats — 48 percent — want Biden.
Siena pollster Steven Greenberg stressed the result should be considered in light of “just how ‘blue’ New York is.”
“Democrats have a 27-point enrollment advantage over Republicans, Biden beat Trump by 23 points in 2020, and no Republican presidential candidate has carried the state since Ronald Reagan in 1984, 40 years ago,” he explained.
New York Young Republican Club leader Gavin Wax has set an ambitious goal of flipping New York in November.

On Sunday, former Rep. Liz Cheney indicated that she may run for president, vowing “to do whatever is necessary to defeat Donald Trump.”
Cheney’s comments came during an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Tapper asked Cheney: “You still haven’t ruled out a presidential run of your own in 2024, as far as I know. Are you still considering it, or what do you rule it out?”
“I haven’t made any decisions about it yet,” Cheney responded. “I’m going to do whatever is necessary to defeat Donald Trump.”
The former Congresswoman also implied she would vote for Biden if the election were once again Biden v. Trump. “But if it came down to you, not running, and it’s Biden versus Trump, you would you would support Biden?” asked Tapper. “I’m not going to make any announcements or endorsements this morning, but the most important thing is to defeat Donald Trump. And I’ll do whatever, whatever it takes to do that,” she responded.
Cheney, who has links to the Chinese Communist Party, has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump. During the same interview, she suggested that, if elected President, Trump would have his political opponents murdered. “When you think about Donald Trump, for example, pledging retribution, what Vladimir Putin did to Navalny is what retribution looks like,” she claimed.

President Trump drew a line under the question of his second term being a “revenge” administration, stating unequivocally, “My revenge will be success,” during a Fox News town hall in South Carolina on Tuesday night.
Asked by an audience member what he says to independents and moderates who like his policies but fear a retribution-obsessed president, Trump laid out his victories during his first four years in office, before delivering the important line which will doubtless underscore his campaign’s response to similar inquiries throughout the campaign.
The line drew massive applause from the audience, with President Trump going on to take further questions and stating that he would like to start debating Joe Biden “starting now.”

President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign has been forced to open a satellite headquarters near the White House in Washington, D.C. after senior staff complained about having to commute to Delaware. The office, which is funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), will serve primarily as a base of operations for the campaign’s chief strategist, Mike Donilon, and Jen O’Malley Dillon — who left the White House in January to serve as Biden’s campaign chair.
Some national Democrats, including former President Obama, have expressed concerns over Biden’s decentralized and chaoticcampaign. The President has been unwilling to let several senior aides depart the White House for the campaign full-time, opting to keep them in Washington, D.C., instead. This has left the campaign’s headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, understaffed and relatively isolated from other aspects of Biden’s political operation in the nation’s capital.
Traditionally, presidents seeking re-election have located their campaign headquarters outside Washington, D.C. Biden chose his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama based their re-election campaigns in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Chicago, Illinois, respectively. Meanwhile, former Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump established their headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.
Before the opening of the DNC-funded office, senior White House aides who were moonlighting on the re-election effort would meet in the White House residence to discuss campaign strategy after work hours. While Federal law prohibits using federal resources — including office space — for campaign activities, White House residence is exempt.

Steve Calabresi, founder and co-chairman of the influential Federalist Society, has compared the judgment against former President Donald Trump in a New York civil fraud trial to the killing of Alexander Hamilton. He also describes it as a “Stalinist nightmare.”
Writing for Reason, Calabresi states: “The civil fraud judgment against Donald Trump is a travesty, and an unjust political act rivaled only in American politics by the killing of former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton by Vice President Aaron Burr.”
“[NY AG Letitia] James and Judge Engeron have essentially turned a vaguely worded New York State law into a modern day Bill of Attainder targeted at Donald Trump both for political gain and because they despise his political views,” Calabresi explains. He claims that the ruling is a violation of several of Trump’s constitutional rights. These include his rights under the First Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Eighth Amendment, Fourteenth Amendment, and Article IV, Section 2.
“[P]residential politics will be permanently altered if a… State’s legal system can be used in this way,” Calabresi writes. “This case raises a national issue of profound importance,” he says. “If the New York State appellate courts do not address it, the U.S. Supreme Court MUST!”

Some of the largest technology and social media companies in the world have agreed to a private compact in what they say is an effort to combat the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to disrupt the over 40 national elections being held around the world in 2024. Technology executives gathered in Munich, Germany, for a security conference and announced the voluntary framework on Friday. Adobe, Amazon, Google, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok were among the signatories.
The compact doesn’t commit signatories to any specific actions but does lay out strategies they intend to use to publicly identify AI-generated videos and images “that deceptively fake or alter the appearance, voice, or actions of political candidates, election officials, and other key stakeholders in a democratic election.” It states companies will share best practices, but the compact does not commit them to banning or removing deepfakes or other altered content.
Ahead of the summit, Meta’s president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, stated: “Everybody recognizes that no one tech company, no one government, no one civil society organization is able to deal with the advent of this technology and its possible nefarious use on their own.” Meta is the parent company of social media giants Facebook and Instagram.
GOVERNMENT COLLUSION.
Concerns over deepfakes and other AI-altered content have increased as the nascent technology has rapidly improved over the last year. However, the compact also raises concerns about possible ongoing collusion between governments and technology companies aimed to censor citizens’ speech. Over the past year, there have been numerousinstances of the U.S. and foreigngovernmentspressuringsocialmediacompanies to remove unfavorable content.
Last summer, a federal judge ordered the Biden government to cease communications with social media platforms for “the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”

U.S. truck drivers may begin to refuse freight transportation to New York City, a move that could significantly disrupt supply chains given the vital role trucking plays in U.S. freight. Posts highlighting the potential protest emerged late Friday night on social media amongst truckers, a community contributing to the transportation of an estimated 70 to 73 percent of all American cargo.
According to Trump cap-wearing social media user Chicago1Ray, believed to be a Midwest truck driver, he and his fellow drivers are expressing frustration at issues ranging between national politics and the logistical difficulties of city-specific routes. Manhattan judge Engoron last week ordered former President Trump to pay over $355 million after claiming Trump misrepresented the value of his assets. The judge, an example, valued the billion-dollar property of Mar-A-Lago at around just $18 million in order to reach his verdict. Engoron’s law clerk is a current far-left, NeverTrump activist with close links to national Democrats.
“F*ck around and find out,” says Chicago1Ray in the video below. “We’re tired of you motherf*cking leftists f*cking with Trump, okay?”
The user shared a video online in which he claimed a growing number of drivers will start denying loads to New York City starting Monday. Chicago1Ray mentioned multiple conversations with truckers who supported the sentiment and were prepared to take action.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
New York Times columnist Ezra Klein is calling for Joe Biden to step aside for a new Democratic nominee.
In the latest episode of The Ezra Klein Show, Klein complimented President Biden on successfully unifying the Democratic Party, contrasting it with Republican disunity on key issues like Ukraine. The columnist also praised Biden for his handling of the economy. However, despite praising Biden, he questioned his viability as a central figure in a presidential campaign.
“I like Biden… he’s been a good president… he is a good president. I don’t like having this conversation. And I know a lot of liberals, a lot of Democrats are going to be furious at me for this show,” Klein said.
Furthermore, Klein said using former President Donald Trump’s age as a defense against concerns about Biden’s age is “self-defeating.” “So yes, I think Biden, as painful as this is, should find his way to stepping down as a hero,” Klein said.
Klein urged influential figures in Biden’s circle to counsel Biden that stepping aside would be beneficial.
“The people whom Biden listens to — Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Mike Donilon, Ron Klain, Nancy Pelosi, Anita Dunn — they need to get him to see this. Biden may come to see it himself,” Klein said.
