Britain’s Far-Left Govt Sells Out to China on North Sea Wind Farm, Jeopardizing National Security.

Great Britain’s far-left Labour government, led by Prime Minster Sir Keir Starmer, is cutting a deal with a Chinese wind energy company to install turbines as part of a North Sea wind farm project. British Treasury officials reportedly “brushed aside fears” that allowing a Chinese company to build critical infrastructure just off the coast of the United Kingdom poses a significant national security threat. Once complete, the Green Volt North Sea wind farm will be Europe’s largest floating so-called green energy project.

It is believed that Chancellor Rachel Reeves, roughly equivalent to U.S. Treasury Secretary, sold the plan to her Labour colleagues after China pledged to inject millions of pounds of investment into the United Kingdom if the deal was approved. “It is madness to let a hostile state install UK critical national infrastructure,” one Labour government source told The Sun. “But as far as the Treasury is concerned, it seems money is more important than security.”

“If a Chinese company supplies the turbines they have a legitimate excuse to visit any one at any time for maintenance,” a Ministry of Defence source warned. “That means they can install almost anything they like at any time. The worst case scenario is we have to assume every turbine could then be an antenna intercepting signals intelligence, or a sensor tracking ships or planes.”

CHINESE GOVT TIES. 

The Chinese firm supplying the turbines—at half the cost of a European manufacturer—is Mingyang Smart Energy, China’s largest private wind turbine maker. Despite being an allegedly privately held company, Mingyang Smart Energy maintains lucrative contracts with the five largest state-owned power companies in China—suggesting the turbine company has deep ties with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials.

Even more concerning is Mingyang Smart Energy’s six years on the New York Stock Exchange, ending when Chairman and CEO Chuanwei Zhang moved to take the company private in 2015, completed in 2016. Zhang sheepishly admitted that his effort to take Mingyang Smart Energy private was funded not just by taking on debt and equity finance but by investment from “certain shareholders”—likely an allusion to high-ranking members of the CCP.

BREAKING: Flights Grounded After Plane Crashes in Arizona.

Flights have been grounded at Scottsdale Airport, Arizona, following a crash involving a smaller aircraft. As of the time of publication, the cause of the crash and details of any deaths or injuries are unknown. The airport has confirmed that the Fire Department “is on scene assessing the situation.”

The incident in Scottsdale follows a number of incidents in recent weeks. Last Thursday, a Cessna Grand Caravan carrying ten people was lost over Alaska, with everyone on board now confirmed dead. On January 31, a Learjet 55 went down over Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, destroying several homes and killing one motorist, along with everyone on board the aircraft.

Worst of all, a Bombardier CRJ700 airliner and a Black Hawk military helicopter collided over the Potomac River near Washington, D.C., on January 29, killing 64 people.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have suggested that far-left diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies have undermined aviation safety in recent years.

FBI Finds 2,400 Previously Undisclosed JFK Assassination Records After Trump EO.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has discovered approximately 2,400 records related to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination that were never provided to the board responsible for reviewing and disclosing such documents. This revelation follows President Trump’s January 23 executive order demanding the release of all JFK assassination records, as well as records relating to the assassination of his younger brother, Robert “Bobby” Kennedy Sr., and Martin Luther King.

The discovery, made 61 years after Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas, Texas, underscores government reluctance to be fully transparent about the slaying. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence disclosed the existence of these records to the White House on Friday as part of their plan to comply with Trump’s order.

Jefferson Morley, an expert on the assassination and vice president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, described the findings as significant. Under the 1992 JFK Records Act, these records were supposed to be handed over to the JFK Assassination Records Review Board and then to the National Archives for public disclosure by 2017. However, these newly discovered files were not previously submitted or reviewed.

Trump expressed regret for not releasing all JFK records during his first term. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of President Kennedy and son of Bobby Kennedy—who has been nominated for Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary by President Trump—praised him for his initiative to disclose the relevant records, noting that, in life, JFK argued that “The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society,” and that Americans “are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secrecy.”

Despite Trump’s executive order, intelligence agencies continue pushing for redactions.

IRS Agents Redirected to Assist in Immigration Enforcement.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is asking the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for assistance in bolstering immigration enforcement efforts. In a memorandum from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the department urges Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to authorize IRS agents to support immigration-related operations nationwide. Consequently, the IRS agents tapped to assist DHS would likely come from the tax agency’s criminal division, including armed agents who often execute agency raids against heavily armed and dangerous individuals.

The memo suggests that some IRS personnel could be drawn from the tax division and used to audit employers suspected of hiring unauthorized migrants and probing human trafficking activities. With an approximate workforce of 100,000 employees, the IRS includes over 2,100 law enforcement officers trained in investigating tax violations and financial crimes.

“It is DHS’s understanding that the Department of the Treasury has qualified law enforcement personnel available to assist with immigration enforcement,” Noem stated in her communication, referencing recent expansions in the IRS’s workforce and budget. She notes the DHS’s authorization to enlist other law enforcement bodies to participate in immigration enforcement.

Some on the political left believe the move is meant to divert and reduce the IRS agent expansion authorized by former President Joe Biden. However, what Democrat critics of Trump continually fail to acknowledge is that the agency has well-trained and armed criminal division agents who are more than able to assist with DHS immigration enforcement actions while the IRS continues its more routine work of tax return processing and tax audits.

Lawfare: Federal Judge Claims Trump Is Violating Order to Unfreeze Federal Grants.

A federal judge claims President Donald J. Trump is violating a court-issued order directing the executive branch to unfreeze all federal grant programs the America First leader ordered suspended late last month. The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge John McConnell, directs the Trump White House to “immediately restore frozen funding” while his initial order blocking the suspension of federal grant disbursement remains in effect.

Notably, the judge’s ruling means grant funding through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act and Infrastructure Improvement and Jobs Act is once again available—though for how long is unclear. “[It is a] basic proposition that all orders and judgments of courts must be complied with promptly,” Judge McConnell writes in his ruling, continuing: “Persons who make private determinations of the law and refuse to obey an order generally risk criminal contempt even if the order is ultimately ruled incorrect.”

“The Defendants issued a broad, categorical, all-encompassing directive freezing federal funding. The plain language of the TRO entered in this case prohibits all categorical pauses or freezes in obligations or disbursements based on the OMB Directive or based on the President’s 2025 Executive Orders,” the U.S. District Judge argues, adding: “The Defendants received notice of the TRO, the Order is clear and unambiguous, and there are no impediments to the Defendants’ compliance with the Order.”

In January, after taking the Oath of Office, President Trump moved to suspend nearly all federal grant issuance, arguing taxpayer dollars should not fund programs working against the interests of the American people. The suspension is part of a larger Trump White House effort to eliminate large-scale waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government, seeking to cut $2 trillion from the over $7 trillion federal budget.

Fox Acquires Leading Podcast Firm Used by Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and More.

Fox Corporation announced on Monday its acquisition of Red Seat Ventures, a digital media company behind podcasts for Tucker Carlson, Piers Morgan, Megyn Kelly, and others. Chris and Kevin Balfe, who founded Red Seat, will continue to manage the company independently within Fox’s Tubi Media Group, focused on digital and streaming services. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition signifies Fox’s strategic move into the expanding online “creator economy.” This trend has seen media personalities who previously depended on traditional corporate distributors, such as Fox’s cable networks, developing their content through platforms like YouTube and SiriusXM.

Red Seat Ventures’ clientele also includes Dr. Phil, Nancy Grace, Bill O’Reilly, and Chris Hansen. Additionally, the company is collaborating with The New York Post to develop a new podcast and audio division.

This new relationship reunites Carlson and O’Reilly with Rupert Murdoch’s media conglomerate, albeit indirectly. Both had previously hosted shows at Fox News, with Kelly also having been a significant presence before leaving for NBC in 2017.

Murdoch, 93, stepped down as Fox Corporation’s chairman at News Corp in 2023 and was succeeded by his son Lachlan. However, the elder Murdoch remains a board member of Fox Corporation.

DHS Sec Noem Calls for Overhaul of FEMA Operations.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has expressed agreement with President Donald J. Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk regarding potential radical reforms to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Asked by CNN if President Trump “can and should” close it down, she replied, “He can, and I believe that he will do that evaluation with his team.”

“He’s been very clear that he still believes there’s a role for the federal government to come in and help people get back up on their feet, but there’s a lot of fraud and waste and abuse out there,” Noem said of Trump’s priorities, noting that he has already presided over “incredible change” in streamlining government spending.

According to Noem, Trump intends to work with Congress to ensure federal support reaches those in need post-disasters.

On a recent visit to hurricane-affected areas in Asheville, North Carolina, Noem recounted overseeing 12 disasters involving FEMA during her tenure as Governor of South Dakota. She advocated for state and local leadership in disaster response, suggesting local authorities could make more informed decisions than federal entities.

FEMA, under the former Biden-Harris regime, spent a billion dollars on illegal immigrants, leaving the agency demanding more money during hurricane season last year. Noem agrees with Musk that FEMA has misdirected federal funds at times.

During Hurricane Helene, FEMA was also accused of refusing to help in North Carolina because employees allegedly felt threatened by locals having Trump signs on their properties. The agency is also accused of blocking and seizing aid.

Five Former Treasury Secretaries Who Allowed Billions in Fraud Claim DOGE Is the Real Threat.

Five former Democratic White House Treasury Secretaries, who allowed the department to issue billions in fraudulent payments, claim that Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) threaten American democracy. In a letter to The New York Times, Robert E. Rubin, Lawrence H. Summers, Timothy F. Geithner, Jacob J. Lew, and Janet L. Yellen claim DOGE’s actions are politically motivated interference in federal payment management.

In recent days, Elon Musk and DOGE have accessed data from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS), a Treasury subagency that manages outgoing federal payments, to identify rampant waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. Musk has uncovered that the BFS has no mechanism to stop payments resulting from fraudulent claims or organizations.

“While significant data privacy, cybersecurity, and national security threats are gravely concerning, the constitutional issues are perhaps even more alarming,” the five Democratic White House Treasury Secretaries vaguely assert. However, their letter appears to be more of an attempt to cover for the fact that Musk and DOGE have identified over $50 billion in fraudulent payments—a large portion of which occurred under the five Treasury Secretaries’ tenures.

For decades, the Treasury Department has maintained that outgoing federal payments—even those suspected of or known to be fraud—should not be interrupted as this could be interpreted as politically motivated or a federal default. However, this approach has only allowed for the growth of fraudulent payments, effectively defrauding the federal government and American taxpayers.

Over the weekend, an Obama-appointed judge temporarily halted Treasury and DOGE access to the federal payments system. Musk responded on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “A corrupt judge protecting corruption. He needs to be impeached NOW!”

Britain’s Left-Wing Govt is Now Posting Deportation Videos.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government is releasing videos of immigration enforcement raids against businesses employing illegal workers as Nigel Farage’s anti-mass migration Reform Party surges past them in the polls. The raids, targeting businesses including Indian restaurants, nail bars, and carwashes, appear calculated to make Labour appear firmer on illegal immigration.

While Starmer pledged he would “smash the gangs” orchestrating illegal immigration, mainly via small boats, it has increased in the months since he assumed office in July. One of his first acts as Prime Minister was to scrap a long-delayed Conservative plan, prepared at a cost of many millions of pounds, to disincentivize illegal immigration by transferring migrants to Rwanda as a “third safe country.” A similar policy proved highly successful in Australia, and President Donald J. Trump appears to be pursuing a similar policy in the U.S., striking an agreement with Guatemala on taking deportees and with El Salvador on incarcerating criminal aliens—and potentially some U.S. citizens.

Some in Labour are unhappy with Starmer’s efforts to appear at least to be taking action on illegal immigration, with Diane Abbott MP complaining about the party becoming “Reform-lite.”

“The Labour Party can never outdo Reform on anti-immigrant rhetoric, and should not even try. All that happens is that we give legitimacy to the Reform narrative,” she wrote for leftist ex-newspaper The Independent.

Farage believes Labour’s raid videos are evidence Labour is “terrified” of Reform’s poll surge.

Cali Sheriff Who Faked 3rd Trump Assassination Story for Attention Says He WON’T Support ICE Deportation Efforts.

The top law enforcement officer in California’s fourth largest county—and the 10th largest in the United States—says his 4,000-strong staff will not assist in any federal immigration enforcement actions. In a video posted to social media, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco states that his deputies and staff “have not, are not and will not engage” in “any type of immigration enforcement.”

In the video, Bianco claims that immigration enforcement is the sole purview of federal law enforcement and that rumors his office is assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are incorrect. Despite Bianco’s assertion, local law enforcement can and does assist federal agents during immigration actions.

Federal statutes allow for the deputization of local law enforcement to assist federal actions. The National Pulse previously reported that President Donald J. Trump is considering such action, though it appears local law enforcement—like the Riverside County Sheriff’s office—must still assent to the deputization.

President Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, is moving to strip so-called “sanctuaries,” where local and state officials refuse to or are legally barred from assisting ICE, of federal funding.

BLM & A FAKE ASSASSIN.

This is not the first time the Riverside County Sheriff has injected his partisan politics into how his office conducts law enforcement actions. Infamously, Chad Bianco and his deputies participated in the 2020 Black Lives Matter (BLM) demonstrations in downtown Riverside. Bianco and his deputies even took a knee during the protest, indicating solidarity with the radical protestors.

Notably, the early June 2020 protest that Bianco and his deputies attended came just days after a violent Chicago demonstrations that saw 130 police officers injured in the city. In total, upwards of 1,000 state and local law enforcement officers were injured during the civil unrest following George Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020.

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Bianco attempted to boost his profile, claiming a man arrested at a Trump rally in Coachella, California, was a would-be third assassin. However, that individual, independent reporter Vem Miller turned out to be a Trump supporter from Nevada. He is currently suing the Riverside County Sheriff.
