Joe Biden is in denial over how deeply unpopular his record on the economy has become. In a primetime interview with CNN, the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent appeared at first unaware, and then indignant, that voters consistently indicate they prefer former President Donald J. Trump to Biden on the economy.
“Voters, by a wide margin, trust Trump more on the economy,” host Erin Burnett toldBiden before listing potential reasons why his government is so unpopular. These include consumer confidence being at a near-two-year low, the cost of housing nearly doubling since Biden took office, and real income dropping when factoring in inflation. Burnett asked Biden, “Are you worried that you’re running out of time to turn [the economy] around?”
“We’ve already turned it around,” the 81-year-old Democrat insisted, appearing unaware of the poor economic data. He continued: “The polling data has been wrong all along.” Going beyond a blanket denial of voter sentiment, Biden proceeded to make several blatantly false assertions about the state of the economy prior to and during his White House tenure.
Biden insisted that inflation was already at 9 percent when he entered office. In reality, the inflation rate was at 1.4 percent when he was inaugurated. The inflation rate hit 9.1 percent a full 17 months into his term as President in June 2022.
Addressing job growth, Biden continued to peddle the long-debunked claim that he created over 15 million jobs. Labor market economists and other experts have repeatedly noted that Biden‘s claim relies on counting jobs that were recovered following the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, 9 million of those jobs had been lost during COVID-19.
Biden looks shocked as CNN host Erin Burnett reels off a list of stats detailing how bad the economy is. Biden claims he's already "turned it around" and that every poll showing Americans favouring Trump on the economy is wrong. Full report here: https://t.co/smaN0DjOVDpic.twitter.com/K2wTAwdrse

MSNBC pundits were shocked by a recent PBS Newshour/NPR/Marist poll that revealed that more Americans perceive Joe Biden as a greater threat to democracy than former President Donald Trump. According to the poll, 53 percent of independent voters believe that a second Biden term will invariably weaken America, as opposed to 42 percent who think Trump would weaken the country.
“I find it shocking, honestly. I can’t make sense of that number,” said MSNBC political analyst Susan Del Percio.
Del Percio then mused that the absence of television coverage of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump may be resulting in disinterest in the accusations against the former President, leading some independents to ‘incorrectly’ believe Biden is a greater threat to democracy.
LAWFARE, CENSORSHIP, & THE BORDER CRISIS.
However, what never seems to cross Del Percio’s mind is that it may be the very trial itself that has led independents to view Biden as a greater threat to democracy. Multiple polls have consistently shown that significant numbers of Americans believe the prosecutions against Trump are politically motivated witch hunts. Last month, a poll found that a majority of Americans now believe this to be the case and do not think Trump can receive a fair trial.
Biden’s willful mishandling of the border crisis may also be influencing independent voters to view him as a threat to democracy. An April poll found that a majority of Americans believe that Biden is intentionally importing migrants into the country en masse to create a permanent Democratic majority.
In addition to viewing the Biden government’s use of lawfare to persecute a political opponent as a threat to democracy, many Americans are doubtless concerned about the Biden FBI and DHS censoring information critical of and damaging to the regime. The Biden White House has also pressured social media companies and others directly to censor information it doesn’t like.
As independent presidential candidate RFJ, Jr. put it last month: “The greatest threat to democracy is not somebody who questions election returns but a president of the United States who uses the power of his office to force social media companies… to censor his political critics.”
“I find it shocking, honestly. I can’t make sense of that number. I wish I could." MSNBC mouths were dumbfounded by a new poll that found more Americans believe Joe Biden is a threat to Democracy than Donald Trump. Full report here: https://t.co/BZv3wDpXEYpic.twitter.com/TJJwnVSZQm

Speaker Mike Johnson is promoting the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to revise the National Voter Registration Act. The bill proposes amendments requiring proof of citizenship for individuals who register to vote at departments of motor vehicles (DMVs) and other state agencies. It also mandates the removal of foreign nationals from state voting registers.
“There is currently an unprecedented and a clear and present danger to the integrity of our election system, and that is the threat of noncitizens and illegal aliens voting in our elections,” Johnson argues.
The Speaker says the introduction of the SAVE Act safeguards potential risks to the security of the election process. While the Joe Biden regime and its allies in the corporate media claim non-citizens are not voting in elections, weaknesses in the registration and vetting process mean it is happening — with such illegal votersthree times more likely to vote for the Democrats.
Separate legislation has been introduced to stop resident foreigners, including illegal aliens, from being included in population counts used to decide congressional apportionment. The Biden regime has said it “strongly opposes” this legislation and Democratic politicians such as Rep. Yvette Clarke have suggested illegal immigration gives them an advantage in terms of redistricting.
A majority of Americans believe Joe Biden has been “encouraging” illegal aliens to enter the United States at scale to “create a permanent majority” for the Democratic Party over time. By the end of the current presidential term, he is projected to have overseen illegal immigration equal to all legal immigration from 1892 to 1954.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared his support for “full term abortions,” also known as “abortions until birth,” during an interview with Sage Steele.
In the clip below, Steele asks Kennedy, currently battling to get on the debate stage with Joe Biden and Donald Trump, whether he would continue the status quo on abortion, or seek to reintroduce Roe vs. Wade.
RFK said he would not leave the matter “for the states,” and declared that he thought governments of any kind – local nor national – should not be involved, and that the decision should be left to “the woman.”
“You would say completely, it’s up to the woman —” Steele began.
“I would say it’s up to the woman,” Kennedy replied, adding, “We shouldn’t have government involved.”
“Even if it’s full-term?” Steele pressed.
“Even if it’s full-term,” Kennedy concluded.
RFK’s position, therefore, is that the murder of unborn children should be allowed up until their due date.

Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
News Corp and FOX Corporation patriarch Rupert Murdoch is lobbying for Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin to become Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2024 election. Murdoch, who initially backed Ron DeSantis to displace Donald Trump as the de facto leader of the Republican Party, pushed Youngkin to do the job instead as the DeSantis campaign began to crash and burn.
A favorite of the donor class, Youngkin claimed he would not run in April 2023 but held unofficial soundings with donors in August, and mega-donor Thomas Peterffy mooted an entry into the Republican race as late as September.
Ultimately, Youngkin – also represented by DeSantis’s campaign manager Jeff Roe – decided against taking on Trump, despite Peterffy promising “the money would be there” for him. The loss of the Virginia legislature in November drove the final nail into his shadow campaign.
With GOP donors finally accepting Trump’s candidacy, Murdoch appears to believe getting Youngkin on the ticket could moderate a second Trump administration.
Megadonor Larry Ellison and figures from the real estate industry are reportedly pushing for South Carolina’s Senator Tim Scott to get the nod. Others are pushing Senator Marco Rubio, an old sparring partner of Trump from the 2016 primary race.
Populist contenders like primary contestant Vivek Ramaswamy and Senator J.D. Vance — the preferred pick of National Pulse readers — are notably less popular amongst the globalist, moneyed class. Donors are said to oppose Vance’s position on tariffs, and there is particular animosity to Ramaswamy, with a GOP lobbyist “close to top party officials” saying: “Good Lord, if it’s him, I’m out.”

Embattled Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, who is trailing his Trump-endorsed primary opponent David Covey in a May 28 run-off election, maintains concerning ties with far-left transgender and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) advocacy groups across the state.
Phelan and his wife have long been involved with the Texas chapter of Mental Health America (MHA), a group that promotes gender transition surgeries and DEI policies under the guise of mental health advocacy. Additionally, as Speaker, Phelan used his power over the lower legislative chamber’s floor votes to allow a coalition of establishment Republicans and Democrats to push for taxpayer funding for gender transition surgery for minors.
TIES TO TRANS ADVOCATES.
Dade Phelan, and his wife Kim, have longstanding ties with MHA, a so-called mental health advocacy group that promotes transgenderism and DEI under the guise of healthcare. The group awarded Phelan its 2019 Mental Health Champion recognition. His wife, Kim Phelan, has served as the president of MHA Southeast Texas and, according to her bio, is currently the group’s treasurer.
The MHA pushes propaganda that has increasingly been denounced by the medical community, claiming that transgenderism isn’t a mental health issue. They advocate for treatment plans that include hormone replacement therapies and often irreversible gender transition surgeries that come with potentially life-altering complications.
THE LEFT’S REPUBLICAN SPEAKER.
As a lawmaker, Phelan has been instrumental in advancing a progressive, left-wing political agenda in Texas. The LGBTQ+ advocacy group Equality Texas rated Phelan a “C” grade in 2019 — only one of three Republican lawmakers to receive a positive rating. Equality Texas praised Phelan for his “bipartisan leadership” in amending several conservative bills to “ensure they could not be used to preempt municipal nondiscrimination ordinances.”
As Speaker, Phelan often did not take a vote on controversial left-wing legislation, but he would allow it to proceed to the floor, where the establishment Republican and Democrat coalition would vote for passage. One such bill allowed for taxpayer funding of gender transition surgeries for minors.
PHELAN PROFITS FROM PRO-TRANS BUSINESS.
In addition to pushing pro-transgenderism in Austin, Phelan also profits from pro-transgender businesses in his personal life. The Texas House Speaker and his family own several commercial properties in the state, with Planet Fitness being a tenant at two locations.
Planet Fitness has received a bevy of negative press for its refusal to back down from a company policy that allows biological males to enter and use female locker rooms, showers, and bathroom facilities. An Alaska woman was barred from Planet Fitness after complaining about a biological male who stripped naked in the women’s locker room while a female minor was present.
PAXTON IMPEACHMENT LEADER.
Phelan is perhaps best known as the Texas Republican who led the impeachment against the state’s conservative Attorney General Ken Paxton, a staunch ally of former President Donald J. Trump. Despite the Texas Speaker’s best efforts, Paxton survived the dubious impeachment after the case against him collapsed during the trial in the State Senate.
Several witnesses brought by Phelan’s impeachment managers either recanted their prior statements entirely or admitted that they had no evidence of the accusations they leveled against Paxton. Attorney General Paxton credited The National Pulse with helping expose the false charges against him.
In addition to his attacks on Paxton, Phelan has also scuttled several conservative legislative efforts undertaken by Governor GregAbbott (R-TX). In one instance, he blocked a 2023 effort to enact school choice despite it being a top issue for Abbott and receiving the backing of the Republican-controlled State Senate.

Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, is taking on his first political role as he prepares to graduate from high school. The Republican Party of Florida has selected the 18-year-old son of former First Lady Melania Trump as one of its at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention. Half-siblings Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump will also act as Florida delegates.
“We are fortunate to have a great group of grassroots leaders, elected officials, and members of the Trump family working together as part of the Florida delegation to the 2024 Republican National Convention,” said Florida GOP chairman Evan Power.
“‘Florida is continuing to have a great convention team, but more importantly we are preparing to win Florida and win it big,” he added.
Barron, then aged 10, famously joined his father on stage for his victory speech following the 2016 election. He became the first presidential son to live in the White House since John F. Kennedy Jr. in the 1960s.
FAMILY INTERFERENCE.
In recent weeks, the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s trial in Manhattan, Juan Merchan, threatened to keep the former president from attending Barron’s high school graduation.
“Who will explain for me, to my wonderful son, Barron, who is a GREAT Student at a fantastic School, that his Dad will likely not be allowed to attend his Graduation Ceremony, something that we have been talking about for years, because a seriously Conflicted and Corrupt New York State Judge wants me in Criminal Court on a bogus ‘Biden Case’ which, according to virtually all Legal Scholars and Pundits, has no merit, and should NEVER have been brought?” Trump railed after the threat was issued. Merchan later backed down.
Far-left news site The Daily Beast reported Barron will likely attend New York University after graduation. However, it later transpired the story had been knowingly fabricated.

The Joe Biden regime’s Small Business Administration (SBA) has partnered with Democratic Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to register voters in the crucial swing state in what Republicans are branding a “blatant” effort to boost votes for the incumbent.
The SBA has been subpoenaed by the House Small Business Committee, with chairman Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas) accusing the federal agency of “refus[ing] to comply with the Committee’s ongoing investigation into potential electioneering activities by the SBA.”
“It is unconscionable that during such a precarious time for our nation’s small businesses, the sole federal agency created to serve as their advocate is instead utilizing their limited taxpayer resources and time to advance partisan political campaigns,” commented Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa). He branded the scheme “a blatant attempt by the Biden administration to illegally use the SBA as an extension of the President’s campaign.”
The House Small Business Committee has been attempting to summon SBA officials to answer questions about the Michigan scheme for some time, with the subpoenas issued in response to stonewalling.
“The American people deserve answers and transparency on the electioneering activities of the SBA and how they have or plan to insert themselves in the upcoming federal elections,” said Chairman Williams, accusing the SBA of having “repeatedly strayed” from its “sole mission” of “help[ing Main Street thrive and grow.”
Officially, the purpose of the partnership between the SBA and the Michigan Secretary is to “promote civic engagement and voter registration.” However, such schemes can have the effect of boosting turnout for a particular candidate in elections. Supposedly nonpartisan efforts to increase “voter engagement” and overall turnout by election officials in 2020, funded by Mark Zuckerberg and Google, were funneled almost entirely into Democrat-leaning districts.

An Islamic leader who praised the October 7Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel recently co-hosted a fundraiser for Representative Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) at a private residence in Fairfax, Virginia. Nihad Awad, the national executive director and co-founder of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), said he was “happy to see” the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel. Rep. Bowman attended the fundraiser benefitting his re-election campaign.
Awad has come under repeated criticism for making antisemitic remarks. On several occasions, the national executive director of CAIR has claimed that Israel “does not have a right to self-defense” — seemingly justifying continued attacks by Iran’s terrorist proxies. Just a month after the barbaric Hamas attack that killed nearly 1,200 people, mostly civilians, Awad told the 16th annual Convention for Palestine, “The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege—the walls of the concentration camp—on October 7.”
He continued: “And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land that they were not free to walk in.” The Bidengovernmentcondemned Awad and his remarks after a media firestorm.
Bowman, a member of the far-left ‘Squad,’ has remained silent on why he attended the fundraiser and his reaction to Awad’s praise for Hamas and the deaths of innocent civilians on October 7. The progressive New YorkDemocrat is locked in a tight primary battle to retain his seat. George Latimer, a Democrat and Westchester County Executive, appears poised to unseat the progressive incumbent.
Rep. Bowman infamously pulled a fire alarm to obstruct an official government proceeding. The New York Democrat appeared to be attempting to interrupt a Congressional budget vote.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he had been left with “cognitive problems” by a parasitic worm in his brain in a 2012 deposition. Now a Democratic primary contender turned independent presidential candidate, RFK Jr. made the admission during divorce proceedings involving his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, arguing the health scare had reduced his mental powers and earning power.
Kennedy said he realized there was a problem when he began experiencing brain fog and memory loss. He was initially suspected of having a brain tumor, with scans identifying a dark spot on his brain. Doctors later advised it was “caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” he said.
“I have cognitive problems, clearly,” he said. “I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.”
The 70-year-old candidate tells The New York Times he has fully recovered from these issues now, but Manter Laboratory for Parasitology curator Scott Gardener told the newspaper that cells calcify around worms in the brain, leaving the infected with something “almost like a tumor that’s there forever.”
“It’s not going to go anywhere,” he stressed.
Infectious disease experts and neurosurgeons speculated the condition RFK Jr. described was neurocysticercosis, caused by a pork tapeworm larva.
THE THREE LEADING CANDIDATES.
Kennedy admitted to the NYT he also suffered “severe brain fog” due to mercury poisoning around the time the worm was discovered. The newspaper also noted RFK Jr. history of heart issues, which hospitalized him at least four times between 2001 and 2012, and a hepatitis C infection caught by using drugs intravenously when he was younger.
RFK Jr. is polling better than any third-party presidential candidate since Ross Perot in the early 1990s, and could sway the election. Of the two leading candidates, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, only Trump has no known brain issues, with a doctor’s report in 2023 noting his “cognitive exams were exceptional.”
Biden, 81, almost died from a brain aneurysm in 1988, requiring a multi-hour surgery to save him and receiving the last rites from a priest. Last year, he had a skin cancer lesion removed from his chest. Federal investigators interrogating him over his mishandling of classified documents noted this year that he has memory problems.
