Rape Gang Hotspot Receives ‘Town of Culture’ Award.

Rochdale, a hotspot for Britain’s predominantly Muslim, Pakistani-heritage “grooming” gangs, comprised of pedophiles drugging, raping, pimping, and—occasionally—killing mostly white working-class victims, has been named Greater Manchester’s ‘Town of Culture’ for 2025 and 2026 by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, of the far-left Labour Party.

The award was announced in the House of Commons by Paul Waugh, the Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Rochdale, and welcomed by Leader of the House of Commons Lucy Powell on behalf of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer‘s Labour government. “It’s got a fantastic cultural heritage,” Powell said of Rochdale.

Along with Rotherham, Rochdale is the most infamous rape gang epicenter in Britain, being one of the first locations where the scandal emerged into full view. Thousands of girls were abused by the gangs across the country over several decades, with the authorities, including police and child protective services, turning a blind eye to them due to a combination of contempt for the victims and fear of being accused of racism by the perpetrators. However, until the beginning of 2025, no public officials or former public officials were charged with misconduct in public office over any of the scandals, despite multiple official inquiries finding “institutional” failings.

Rochdale’s ‘Town of Culture’ status is not the first slap in the face to rape gang victims, with Rotherham previously being shortlisted for a ‘Social Worker of the Year’ award, despite the town’s social workers being heavily implicated in grooming gang failures.

Jake Tapper Admits Biden’s Mental Decline and Media Cover-Up — After Repeatedly Denying It.

CNN’s Jake Tapper is claiming he has been covering former President Joe Biden‘s cognitive decline “for years” as he hawks a new book titled Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, And His Disastrous Decision to Run Again, based on interviews with many Democratic Party insiders.

Despite once claiming that “Joe Biden has dementia” was a narrative pushed by “the Russians,” Tapper is now denouncing Biden’s decision to seek reelection. Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson, of Axios, now say that Biden’s declining faculties were hidden from the public, with Tapper claiming CNN viewers “know” he has “been covering the concerns about President Biden’s age and health for years.” However, he was, in fact, one of Biden’s top apologists.

In a 2020 interview with Lara Trump, for instance, Tapper slammed Lara Trump for highlighting Biden’s mental deterioration, alleging she was “mocking” people with stutters—including “little kids”—and that she had “no standing” to “diagnose” the elderly Democrat.

The book comes as Tapper faces legal challenges. He was central to a defamation case in which Navy veteran Zachary Young accused CNN of misrepresenting him as an “illegal profiteer” during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. CNN was ordered to compensate Young with $5 million in damages.

Chief Justice Roberts Upholds Freeze on U.S. Foreign Aid Payments.

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued an administrative stay late Wednesday night on a federal judge’s order that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department release over $1.5 billion to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) overseas. The stay order is a provisional win for President Donald J. Trump, who argued in an emergency appeal to the high court that U.S. District Court Judge Amir H. Ali’s ruling exceeded judicial authority and encroached on presidential power.

The midnight deadline initially set by Judge Ali required immediate financial action from the agencies, but Chief Justice Roberts’ intervention maintains the current situation while a more thorough review is conducted. The challengers involved in the case have been instructed to submit a response by Friday, with the Supreme Court expected to deliberate and decide on the next steps shortly thereafter.

President Trump’s appeal is the first in a series of potential Supreme Court cases related to a range of executive orders enacted by the America First leader since his inauguration on January 20, 2025.

Meanwhile, consistent with the administration’s policy to reduce overseas spending, attorneys announced the termination of nearly 10,000 contracts and grants managed by USAID and the State Department. Only around 500 contacts have been retained.

One of former President Joe Biden’s final judicial appointments, Judge Amir H. Ali has deep ties to numerous NGO groups. He once served as the executive director of the MacArthur Justice Center, for instance.

Judge Ali was narrowly confirmed by the U.S. Senate in November, 50 to 48, with both Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Braun (R-IN) absent at the time. Braun was preparing his transition to serving as Governor of Indiana.

Trump to Host UK PM Starmer at White House for Talks on Ukraine, Tariffs, & NATO Spending.

President Donald J. Trump will meet with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at the White House on Thursday, marking the America First leader’s second visit by a foreign leader. Earlier this week, Trump and French President Emmanual Macron met to discuss a peace process to end the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and President Trump’s plans for reciprocal tariffs.

It is expected that Trump’s conversation with Starmer will focus on similar subjects—the Ukraine peace process and Trump’s tariff plans. On Wednesday, The National Pulse reported that President Trump is eyeing a 25 percent tariff on the European Union (EU)—specifically targeted at automobiles and several other products. For decades, EU restrictions on importing American automobiles and steel have been a contentious issue, especially for manufacturers in the United States.

Another topic of discussion between the U.S. and British leaders will likely be the strategic Chagos Islands. Currently part of the British Indian Ocean Territory, they are in the process of being transferred by the British government to the island nation of Mauritius. However, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy confirmed earlier this week that President Donald Trump can veto the British government’s plans to hand over the islands.

There is mounting concern that Mauritius could subsequently lease one or more of the Chagos Islands to the People’s Republic of China—expanding the communist nation’s influence in the Indian Ocean and threatening U.S. and British interests. Such a move could also render a U.S. base on the Chagos island of Diego Garcia largely redundant, even if the transfer agreement between Britain and Mauritius includes an ongoing lease for the base.

Lastly, Prime Minister Starmer is expected to pledge that Britain will begin boosting its own domestic military spending—a policy President Trump has repeatedly pushed NATO alliance members to enact. It is believed Starmer will achieve this increase through reducing foreign aid.

Epstein Flight Logs Set for Thursday Release.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that the Justice Department (DOJ) is set to release additional information about billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, including his flight logs, on Thursday. This follows pressure from the House Federal Secrets taskforce, which urged the department to provide more details about Epstein, who allegedly killed himself in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.

Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, has been convicted of several crimes, including sex trafficking. Prior to his death, Epstein was previously found guilty of sex offenses involving minors.

During an interview with Jesse Watters, Bondi explained the delay in releasing materials, noting the necessity of protecting the identities and personal information of over 250 alleged victims. “You can expect to see a lot of flight logs and names released, though it’s disturbing what that man did,” Bondi stated, highlighting the anticipated disclosure.

This move coincides with a recent executive order signed by President Donald J. Trump, which declassifies documents related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Sr., and Martin Luther King Jr.

Illegal Migrant Faces Charges for Shooting Three Women.

A Mexican national, previously deported from the U.S., has been charged in connection with a multiple shooting in Michigan, according to local media outlets. Gilberto Hernandez-Mendez, 42, faces eleven charges, including murder, attempted murder, and several weapons violations. The charges stem from a February 22 incident in Alpine Township, a northern suburb of Grand Rapids.

Police allege that Hernandez-Mendez shot three women at a residence in the early hours of the morning following a domestic dispute, according to investigators. Officers responding to the scene discovered Norma Ramirez-Martinez, 56, deceased. She was identified as the mother of the suspect’s ex-girlfriend. The ex-girlfriend and another woman were injured in the shooting. Authorities indicated that two daughters of the ex-girlfriend also sustained injuries. The suspect fled the scene but was apprehended roughly four hours afterward.

Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker described the violence as part of a troubling trend, noting, “This is the third domestic dispute-related homicide in Kent County within a month.” He confirmed that Hernandez-Mendez had previously been deported for entering the country illegally and faces federal immigration charges. An immigration detainer is currently in place against him.

President Donald J. Trump announced the opening of a 30,000-bed detention facility on the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in January for the most dangerous illegals, including illegal immigrants too dangerous to return to their home countries. This may include people like Hernandez-Mendez, who have demonstrated a capacity to return to the U.S. and carry out crimes even after being removed from the country.

Exposing the Fake DOGE Protests.

Protests against Elon Musk’s government spending cuts—framed as grassroots backlash—were orchestrated by left-wing groups backed by Soros-funded organizations.

Background: For weeks, protests have taken place at Republican town halls nationwide, targeting Musk and the cuts being made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Reality check: The protests were organized by left-wing activist groups Indivisible and MoveOn, which received grants from left-wing billionaire megadonor George Soros.

  • Indivisible got over $10 million from Soros-linked donors
  • MoveOn accepted millions directly from Soros’ Open Society affiliates

The media lies: Mainstream media outlets like The New York Times, CBS, and The Washington Post have cited these protests as proof of bipartisan outrage against Musk. But none of their articles mention the organizers’ partisan ties.

Example of media propaganda: One of the faux organic protests took place at a town hall for Georgia Republican Rep. Rich McCormick. CBS reported on the “backlash” and included a quote from a woman named Maggie Goldman, describing her as a McCormick constituent.

  • The truth is: She does not live in McCormick’s district. She’s a Democrat political activist who helped Pete Buttigieg’s failed 2020 presidential campaign. CBS made no mention of this.

What do Americans think? Seventy-six percent support the DOGE mission “to find and eliminate fraud and waste in government.”

Big picture: Isn’t it ironic that the left is opposed to a billionaire [Musk] participating in the Trump administration’s efforts to cut waste—but it has no problem with a billionaire [Soros] funding fake protests?

Absolute Muppets: NGO Got $17 Million to Promote ‘Democracy,’ Made a Puppet Show.

A left-wing non-governmental organization (NGO) was given $17 million in U.S. taxpayer cash to promote “democracy,” but all they produced was a low-quality Muppets knock-off puppet show. The puppet programming reportedly achieved only around 200 views per episode.

The States United Democracy Center was founded by Norm Eisen, an attorney who was a key figure in the first sham impeachment of President Donald J. Trump during his first term. Eisen also founded a new media company with hysterical anti-Trump writer Jennifer Rubin this year after Rubin quit her position at The Washington Post.

DataRepublican, a researcher who posts about government waste on X, exposed the States United Democracy Center as having received the millions in cash while only producing the puppet show. Formerly anonymous, DataRepublican stated her name to be Jennica Pounds after apparently being doxxed.

Pounds, who is deaf, says she has left her job to aid efforts in tracking U.S. government waste using artificial intelligence (AI) and is awaiting the results of a background check to work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Pounds has estimated that there is as much as $100 billion in government waste or more.

Following his inauguration, President Trump has suspended or cut massive amounts of foreign aid, including downsizing USAID, which has spent billions on bizarre, woke projects around the world that often undermine American strategic interests.

Feds Investigate ‘Influencer’ for Calling for Elon Musk’s Murder.

Federal agents are reportedly probing a social media “influencer” over a video calling for the assassination of tech billionaire Elon Musk. Sarah C. Roberts explicitly called for the killing of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief on TikTok.

Roberts, who has around 4,000 followers on the social media platform, posted a video where she mimicked a throat-slitting gesture accompanied by the words, “We need to X him,” referring to Elon Musk. She elaborated, “And by X, I mean formally known as assassination.”

In addition to these violent remarks, the New Yorker seemed to boast about not filing taxes for approximately eight years. “Arrest me,” she stated, challenging law enforcement.

The video was subsequently shared on X by the account Libs of TikTok, attracting over 16 million views, including one from Musk himself. Musk alerted Ed Martin, the U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C., about the post.

Musk labeled the video’s comments as a “death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud” and remarked on the audacity of individuals admitting crimes publicly. Martin acknowledged the video with a response, saying, “Thx for letting us know. We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, M’am.”

Musk has previously claimed there have been at least two assassination plots against him in the past. Last year also saw two unsuccessful attempts to murder President Donald J. Trump.

Bezos Says WaPo Opinion Page Will Defend ‘Personal Liberties & Free Markets’ — Sparking Leftist Outrage.

Online retail and space technology billionaire Jeff Bezos, owner of The Washington Post, announced changes to the newspaper’s opinion section on Wednesday, stating it would now focus on promoting “personal liberties and free markets.” The move is a notable shift from The Washington Post‘s more liberal internationalist positions and promotion of political progressivism over recent decades.

The move prompted the resignation of opinion editor David Shipley. Additionally, Bezos’s announcement has been met with pushback and dissatisfaction from the newspaper’s reporting staff and subscribers. “Massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section today – makes clear dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there,” economics reporter Jeff Stein—one The Washington Post‘s more notable journalists in Washington, D.C., wrote in response. He added: “I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side of coverage, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know.”

THE ‘LAST STRAW.’ 

Meanwhile, subscribers posted their cancellation requests on social media. Attorney and CNN, NBC, and Fox News legal analyst Jeffrey Gold declared the announcement the “Last straw” and posted a screenshot of his alleged cancellation notice. Likewise, the anonymous X (formerly Twitter) account Sundae Gurl, which boasts well over 100,000 followers, posted that they were canceling their subscription and declared that Bezos had “picked a side” in choosing to defend free markets and individual liberties. The sentiment reflected a great deal of the political left’s reaction to Bezos’s decision—raising the question as to why the American left now believes personal liberties to be an issue purely in the domain of the political right.

Not all Washington Post employees were as concerned as Stein. Dan Lamonthe, a military affairs reporter at the newspaper, assured the audience that the core mission of delivering hard-hitting journalism remained unchanged. Additionally, The Washington Post‘s publisher, Will Lewis, addressed the staff, denying any political bias behind the mandate and describing it as a clear statement of the newspaper’s values.
