Laken Riley Act Will Be First Bill Trump Signs Into Law.

President Donald J. Trump is expected to sign the Laken Riley Act on Wednesday. This will mark the first legislation that Trump signs into law in his second term. Crafted by the GOP-led House, the bill aims to strengthen measures against illegal migrants who have committed crimes.

The proposed law mandates the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain illegal immigrants charged with or convicted of theft-related offenses. This legislation comes in response to the February 2024 murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. The incident involved an illegal migrant who was at large despite previously being arrested for shoplifting, sparking calls for tougher immigration enforcement.

In addition to detention requirements, the act permits states to sue the DHS for lapses in immigration enforcement. The aim is to increase accountability and ensure stricter compliance with immigration laws.

The Laken Riley Act garnered bipartisan support in the House before proceeding to the Senate, although many Democrats voted against it. It passed the Senate with similar bipartisan backing, with Democrat dissenters, although some modifications were made, necessitating its return to the House for approval.

Once the bill reaches President Trump for signing, it will represent a significant step forward in his administration’s ongoing efforts to address illegal immigration and migrant crime.

TRUMP TRANSITION 2024/5

John Bolton is FREAKING OUT Over Kash Patel.

Former White House National Security Adviser John Bolton claims he fears possible retribution from President Donald J. Trump and Kash Patel, Trump’s nominee to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Last week, Trump signed an executive order stripping Bolton of his security clearance on grounds the former White House aide profited from the disclosure of sensitive information published in a book he authored. Additionally, the President rescinded Bolton’s taxpayer-funded security detail granted by former President Joe Biden in 2021.

“Loyalty is a virtue, it’s a good thing. That’s not what Trump wants. He wants fealty to him. He wants submissiveness. He wants yes-men and yes-women,” Bolton said in a recent interview, contending: “Kash Patel has demonstrated, in his service in Trump’s first term, that he’ll simply do whatever Trump wants.”

“I don’t think he’s qualified. And if there is a retribution campaign, and there certainly seems to be, he would be a central element of it. I think that’s dangerous,” the former White House National Security Advisor continued. Writing recently in the Wall Street Journal, Bolton outlandishly compared Patel to Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin’s chief of secret police, Lavrentiy Beria.

Meanwhile, Bolton also claims the removal of his protective detail is part of a larger punitive effort targeting President Trump’s critics. “There’s only one interpretation that makes any sense. It was political. And this is part of an effort at retribution,” the staunch neoconservative argues.

Despite Bolton’s assertions, Patel has a long track record in law enforcement and national security policy, including fighting corruption and abuse of power. The National Pulse previously reported that the National Police Association (NPA) supports Patel’s nomination.

AOC Acknowledges Rampant Insider Trading Among Congressional Democrats.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has told comedian and talk show host Jon Stewart there is rampant insider trading in Congress, including among members of her party. “There needs to be Democrats who walk the walk and talk the talk. There is an insane amount of hypocrisy, and the hypocrisy is what gets exploited to use the cynicism and wherever there’s a hypocritical window. For example, I think one of the biggest examples of this is insider trading in Congress,” she said.

Stewart said it was “crazy” how people in Congress behave, getting information on upcoming drugs, projects, and so on, “regulating the market [they are] trading on.”

“It’s so crazy… Like, people think that everyday people are stupid. I’m like, ‘Do you all really think that people don’t see this sh*t?’” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And then we’re supposed to act like money only corrupts Republicans? Give me a f***ing break.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has faced many allegations regarding stock trading, making a 65 percent return on her stock portfolio in 2023 and beating the S&P 500 by over 90 percent.

J6er Builds Village to Help Fellow Political Prisoners Transition Back to Normal Life.

Jenny Cudd, a participant in the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest, is developing a housing project for fellow January 6 defendants on her property in Fredericksburg, Texas. This initiative, known as the J6 Road Home Project, offers temporary residence and support services to aid former inmates’ reintegration into society. Cudd, who faced probation and fines in 2022 for her involvement in the Capitol incident, is constructing small homes on her 11-acre estate, located about 65 miles from San Antonio.

The project is designed to help occupants transition smoothly by providing access to professional services such as accounting and medical care. Cudd emphasizes the importance of rehabilitation, having experienced the justice system herself. Referring to this initiative as a “blessing of January 6,” she is motivated by her own experiences and aims to extend support to others.

Cudd’s property will ultimately accommodate up to five individuals at a time in 300-square-foot homes featuring kitchenettes and essential furnishings. Currently, one house is ready for occupation, with another nearing completion. Meanwhile, residents are expected to stay for three months or longer, depending on their needs and circumstances.

President Donald J. Trump, who commenced his presidency with pardons for all January 6 defendants, has indirectly influenced Cudd’s mission. With initial occupants ready to join, Cudd predicts the small community will soon be at full capacity.

Local businesses and prominent Republicans, including Mike Lindell, are assisting with the project. Additionally, community support has bolstered Cudd’s fundraising efforts, generating over $30,000. Cudd remains committed to providing a transition path for those she welcomes to her property.

UK Child Abuse Gang Raped Kids, Tried to Kill Them in Microwaves.

Members of a Scottish child sex abuse ring have been imprisoned after the court heard of “depravity” that included sexual abuse of very young children, giving them drugs, and threatening to kill one child in a microwave. The group of seven individuals has been sentenced to lifelong restriction orders following convictions for their involvement in a child abuse ring in Glasgow, Scotland.

The sentences, including minimum prison terms ranging from eight to 20 years, were handed down by a judge at the High Court in Glasgow, who described the crimes as among the most severe they had encountered.

The group, comprised of two women and five men, was found guilty of the systematic abuse of children in an environment saturated with heroin and crack cocaine. Four of the member of the rape gang faced additional charges of attempting to murder a child by placing her in dangerous situations, including inside a microwave. Meanwhile, prosecutors decided against pursuing charges related to alleged Satanic witchcraft practices involving the victims.

The appalling case comes as Britain’s far-left Labour government has been pressured into approving some limited public inquiries into child rape grooming gangs in England, comprised primarily of Muslims of Pakistani heritage. There are estimated tens or hundreds of thousands of victims of Muslim rape gangs across Britain.

Selena Gomez Bawling On Camera Calling Criminal Migrants ‘My People’ Proves America’s Mass Migration Problem.

Selena Gomez, a third-generation Mexican immigrant on her father’s side, has posted a tearful video captioned “I’m sorry [Mexico],” lamenting the fact that her “people” are being “attacked.” President Donald J. Trump is currently overseeing a crackdown on illegal immigration, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launching raids principally targeting foreign criminals, including pedophiles.

“I just want to say that I’m so sorry,” Gomez says in the now-deleted video. “All my people are getting attacked. The children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry; I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” she adds.

Gomez received significant backlash for her statement, with Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA among those questioning, “‘My people?’ Aren’t you American?” The 32-year-old former Disney actress was born in the U.S.—as were her parents and maternal grandparents. However, her paternal grandparents moved to the U.S. from Mexico in the 1970s—and her loyalties appear to remain with their home country.

“We’re gonna do this job, and we’re going to enforce the laws of this country. If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law,” said Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar, when quizzed on Gomez’s video.

“We’re going to do this operation with no apology. We’re going to make our communities safer. Once we lock that border down and continue this operation, you’re going to see fentanyl deaths decrease, illegal alien crime decrease, sex trafficking decrease,” he continued.

“It’s all for the good of this nation, and we’re gonna keep going. No apologies, we’re moving forward.”

Bill Gates Says His Friendship With Pedo Sex Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein Was Merely ‘Foolish.’

Billionaire globalist Bill Gates is dismissing his past relationship with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein as merely “foolish.” The Microsoft co-founder is among numerous business and political leaders who maintained close ties with Epstein, despite allegations he was engaged in trafficking underage girls for sexual purposes and a conviction for soliciting minors.

In a recent interview, Gates admitted his association with Epstein, whom he referred to as “Jeffrey,” was a “huge mistake.” The acknowledgment comes as Gates is promoting the release of his new autobiography, Source Code: My Beginnings, next month.

Speaking with the Wall Street Journal, Gates claims he initially believed Epstein could help advance his efforts in global health philanthropy. However, he acknowledged that these efforts were ineffective and his meetings with Epstein were misguided. Gates admitted, “In retrospect, I was foolish to spend any time with him. It was just a huge mistake.”

Epstein, convicted in 2008 for procuring minors for sex, began seeking relationships with influential individuals like Gates around 2010. Reports suggest Epstein aimed to restore his public image through these connections. The relationship between Gates and Epstein continued until the financier’s death in 2019. Epstein is alleged to have died by suicide in a jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

The revelations have prompted Gates to reconsider his network of acquaintances, he claims. His former wife, Melinda Gates, has previously shared her concerns regarding his interactions with Epstein. In a 2021 interview with Gayle King, Melinda Gates described Epstein as “evil personified” after meeting him once.

Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan Leaked: 100-Day Strategy Unveiled.

Ukrainian media has leaked what is claimed to be President Donald J. Trump’s peace plan for the Russia–Ukraine war, aiming for a ceasefire between the two countries by April 20. On Sunday, Strana, a Ukrainian media outlet, disclosed details of the supposed plan. However, other media outlets have not independently verified the authenticity of these details.

According to Strana’s report, the alleged plan includes initiating a phone call between Trump and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, tentatively set for late January or early February. This would be followed by meetings with Putin and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in subsequent months, with a ceasefire planned by April 20.

The plan also suggests withdrawing Ukrainian forces from the Russian region of Kursk and initiating an international peace conference. The conference, which could involve global mediators, aims to broker a lasting peace framework by May 9.

Key components of the proposed agreement reportedly involve prohibiting Ukraine from joining NATO and having it declare a neutral stance, combined with European Union (EU) membership by 2030.

Additionally, Ukraine would continue to receive military support from the U.S. while refraining from reclaiming territories under Russian control. Meanwhile, a phased lifting of sanctions against Russia could occur over three years, contingent on adherence to the agreement.

Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the Ukrainian President, dismissed the alleged plan, labeling it a fabrication. He suggested it might be Russian misinformation.

President Trump has vowed to end the conflict between the two countries and appears to have agreed with President Putin to meet and discuss the matter in the coming months. Trump has warned he is considering further sanctions against Russia if the country does not agree to work on a peace deal.

Deadly Paris: Boy Stabbed to Death During Cell Phone Robbery.

A 14-year-old boy named Elias was fatally stabbed in Paris, France, on Friday, January 24, after refusing to hand over his cell phone to two robbers. The incident occurred shortly before 8 PM in the city’s 14th arrondissement (district) as he left a soccer practice. Two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, demanded the younger boy’s phone, and upon his refusal, one of them stabbed him. Elias was pronounced dead on Saturday afternoon.

French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau expressed his horror at the incident, attributing it to a loss of societal direction and a breakdown of authority. Retailleau emphasized the need for a long and challenging journey to make France a place where parents no longer fear for their children’s lives over trivial matters.

The two minors implicated in the crime, who both reside in the 14th arrondissement, have been apprehended and detained. Initially investigated for “attempted homicide on a minor under 15 and armed extortion,” the charges now include “extortion followed by death, a crime punishable by life imprisonment.” Both suspects were already known to French police. One had a judicial measure for theft and extortion in December 2023, and both were charged with violent thefts in late October 2024, with a court order prohibiting their association.

Their ethnic and migration background, if any, has not been disclosed.

PARIS VIOLENCE.

The crime is just the latest in Paris to see a minor murdered on the street. It also comes just over two years after the brutal murder of 12-year-old girl Lola Daviet. Daviet was found left in a dumpster outside her apartment. Police later arrested an illegal migrant woman for the killing who should have been deported from the country months prior.

Last year, another murder, this time of a 19-year-old woman in the city, again saw discussions about migrant crime, with the man arrested for the killing being an illegal from Morocco. He was also subject to a deportation order that was never carried out, despite the fact he had been convicted of raping a student in 2019.

Some, like President Donald J. Trump, have correctly blamed mass migration for much of the increase in crime in Paris. Statistics show migrants are vastly overrepresented in crime statistics.

‘Let’s Talk About Something Else’ — Chinese ‘DeepSeek’ AI Refuses to Acknowledge Tiananmen Square Massacre.

The new artificial intelligence (AI) model unveiled by Chinese start-up DeepSeek over the weekend is raising eyebrows not just for its low cost and minimal computing requirements but also for its aggressive censorship of topics embarrassing to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—including the Tiananmen Square massacre. DeepSeek’s R1 model—similar to ChatGPT—allegedly cost just $5.6 million to train and only requires 2,000 Nvidia specialty GPU chips to power. U.S. companies have spent hundreds of millions to billions of dollars to train their AI models and power them with tens of thousands of GPUs.

Despite the potentially earth-shaking breakthrough DeepSeek represents in AI cost—both in terms of investment and computing power—the chatbot’s aversion to and inability to discuss topics considered sensitive by the CCP are alarming many in the industry. When prompted to discuss “what happened in the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre” DeepSeek’s R1 model only replies with a pre-generated response reading: “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.”

The two-sentence script is used by the model to reply to several prompts that touch on events and subjects viewed as taboo by the CCP. Notably, several DeepSeek users have recorded videos that appear to show the chatbot generating an honest response before being overridden with the pre-generated script.

When asked to criticize Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, DeepSeek’s model again responds with the same pre-generated reply. However, when asked to criticize U.S. President Donald J. Trump, the Chinese chatbot is more than happy to provide a number of suggested criticisms. Additionally, DeepSeek appears more than willing to carry on a lengthy discussion about whether the United States is an evil nation.
