Trump Proposes U.S. Takeover of Ukrainian Nuclear Plants.

President Donald J. Trump has proposed the U.S. take over Ukraine’s nuclear power plants during a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to a statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, “American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure.”

The statement highlighted discussions on Ukraine’s electrical supply and nuclear power plants, including the notorious Chernobyl facility. The U.S. government considers its potential involvement as a potential means of securing stability in the region’s power supply.

This conversation took place amid ongoing efforts to address Ukraine’s energy challenges due to the conflict with Russia. The nature and extent of U.S. involvement in Ukraine’s energy sector will likely require further negotiation and agreement between the nations’ governments.

The call between President Trump and President Zelensky comes just a day after Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 18. During that call, President Trump and President Putin agreed to an energy infrastructure ceasefire in which neither Russia nor Ukraine would target each other’s energy systems.

Just hours later, however, Russia claimed Ukraine had violated the agreement and attacked an oil transfer facility in the Krasnodar region.

Trump Suspends Federal Funding for Catholic Mass Migration NGO.

President Donald J. Trump has suspended funding initially allocated to a New York nonprofit by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the former Biden government. Catholic Migration Services (CMS) was set to receive over $293,000 to provide naturalization services for immigrants. The grant, effective November 22, 2024, was intended to extend until September 2026.

CMS, which offers a range of services beyond naturalization, provides free legal assistance—including deportation defense—to illegal immigrants in New York. The mission statement of the nongovernmental organization (NGO) emphasizes that it aims to “advance equality and social justice in a changing and diverse population.” Notably, CMS operates four legal divisions, including Removal Defense and Naturalization teams—aimed at supporting illegal immigrants facing legal proceedings.

“CMS previously shared federal funding with other nonprofits to help lawful permanent residents become citizens. However, the Department of Homeland Security has recently frozen this program,” CMS said in response to the funding suspension. The group added: “In addition to offering various civil legal services to low-income New Yorkers, CMS also assists immigrants who have valid legal claims in removal proceedings.”

The funding suspension comes as the Trump administration aims to curb financial support to nonprofits that promote mass immigration. CMS has criticized the Trump administration for its immigration policies, which they claim instill fear within immigrant communities. The organization describes these policies as an “assault on immigrant communities.”

In previous funding allocations, the Biden government had also provided $1.2 million to the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, an organization focused on changing the U.S. immigration enforcement system. Both CMS and similar groups aim to naturalize migrants and encourage political participation, potentially influencing electoral outcomes.

Trump Cuts Federal Funding to Ivy League University Over Men in Women’s Sports.

President Donald J. Trump has halted $175 million in federal funding for the University of Pennsylvania, citing its policies regarding transgender athletes. This action aligns with Trump’s executive order aimed at prohibiting “biological males from joining women’s sports.”

The White House Rapid Response account on X (formerly Twitter) highlighted the move on social media. “The Trump Administration has ‘paused $175 million in federal funding from the University of Pennsylvania’ over its policies forcing women to compete with men in sports,” the Trump White House said. “Promises made, promises kept.”

Additionally, Trump’s Education Department has initiated a Title IX investigation into the university related to the past controversy involving biological male transgender swimmer William Thomas, now known as Lia Thomas. Ending biological males competing in women’s sports has been a top priority of the Trump White House. The National Pulse previously reported that President Trump chastised Governor Janet Mills (D-ME) for continuing to allow biological men to participate in women’s sports in her state in violation of his executive order.

The University of Pennsylvania isn’t the only Ivy League institution facing scrutiny from the Trump White House. Earlier this month, President Trump ordered the cancellation of $400 million in federal grants for Columbia University over its refusal to address rampant anti-Semitism on campus and failure to put an end to disruptive pro-Hamas demonstrations.

Hackers Doxx Every U.S. Tesla Owner as Part of Terror Campaign.

Far-left hackers have published the detailed information of every Tesla owner in the United States, including their home addresses, as part of a campaign to terrorize the company and its owner, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) frontman Elon Musk. The website “DOGEQUEST” is reportedly linked to far-left anarchists and lists addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers for Tesla owners.

The website offers to remove Tesla customers’ information, but only if they provide proof that they have sold their Tesla vehicle. The group behind the site also lists the personal information of DOGE employees. The address of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel is also found on the site.

Elon Musk has commented on the site, stating on his social media platform X, “Encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!!”

The site appears to be part of a broader campaign against Musk and Tesla, which has included suspected arson attacks against Tesla vehicles in Las Vegas earlier this week at a Tesla service center. The arson attack is just one of at least a dozen attacks against Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations since President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration in January.

JFK Files Appear to Shed New Light on Oswald’s Ties to KGB ‘Assassination Chief.’

The newly released John F. Kennedy assassination files appear to shed additional light on long-suspected ties between the late president’s alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and a high-ranking Soviet Union intelligence officer who is believed to have oversaw political assassinations and communist guerilla warfare operations. Just months before Oswald allegedly assassinated President Kennedy, he is believed to have traveled to Mexico City, entering the Soviet Union embassy in an effort to renew his travel visa to the communist country. This incident has long been clouded in suspicion, with little known about who Oswald met with and what was discussed.

However, intelligence memos in the JFK files reveal that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) came to believe with a high degree of confidence that the Soviet embassy officer who met with Oswald and reviewed his visa application was a man named Valeriy Vladimirovich Kostikov. Notably, Kostikov was not an actual diplomatic staffer but rather a high-ranking KGB official known for his expertise in targeted political assassinations and training of communist agitators and guerilla movements across South and Central America.

While Kostikov’s potential interaction with Oswald has been the subject of speculation for some time, the memos add a degree of certainty that Oswald indeed met with the infamous KGB officer in late September 1963. Just under two months later, Oswald—according to official accounts—shot and killed Kennedy in Dallas, Texas.

CIA CONCERNED ABOUT KOSTIKOV.

A series of CIA memos from the early to mid-1970s reveal the agency came to believe that Kostikov was deeply involved with the KGB’s 13th Department, which engaged in operations involving assassinations and sabotage. Another memo from 1978 from the CIA exudes a degree of panic when the agency became aware that Kostikov was operating in Beirut, Lebanon—suggesting they had been closely tracking the KGB officer’s movements in the years after the Kennedy assassination.

Although there is currently no definitive “smoking gun” linking Kostikov to Oswald’s actions in Dallas, the files shed new light on concerns American intelligence officials had regarding potential KGB involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy.

Anti-Trump, Foreign-Born Judge Stops EPA from Ending Biden’s $14B ‘Green Bank’ Scam.

A federal judge has halted the attempts by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to revoke $14 billion in grants awarded to three far-left environmentalist organizations. U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the EPA’s claims of fraud against the groups, stating that the government’s allegations were too vague and lacked substantiation. The EPA had tried to terminate the grant program, which originally totaled $20 billion as part of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

The decision also prevents Citibank, which manages the funds for the EPA, from reallocating the money elsewhere. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin had accused the grant recipients of mismanagement and fraud in announcing the freeze. However, the judge found Zeldin’s evidence insufficient and questioned the rationale for terminating the grants before reviewing the program.

The three climate organizations—Climate United, the Coalition for Green Capital, and Power Forward Communities—had filed a lawsuit against the EPA, Zeldin, and Citibank. They argued that they were unfairly denied access to funds previously awarded for green energy projects. The grant recipients claimed the funds are essential for their ongoing projects and warned of potential layoffs.

Judge Chutkan’s ruling maintains the status quo—but she did not instruct Citibank to unfreeze the funds, leaving future funding in limbo. On social media, Administrator Zeldin asserted that the grants were distributed in a way that undermined federal oversight and vowed to reclaim the funds for the U.S. Treasury. He previously described the program as an effort to funnel taxpayer money to politically connected organizations without proper accountability.

Notably, Judge Chutkan has been a long-standing foe of President Donald J. Trump. Appointed in 2013 by President Barack Obama, Chutkan is a former employee of Trump-Russia hoax dossier firm Fusion GPS and originally Jamaican, from a family of “dangerous subversive agents.” In 2021, Chutkan denied Trump’s claim of presidential immunity in his election interference case, in a decision the Supreme Court later reversed.

Letter to Biden Signed by ‘John F. Kennedy Jr.’ Branded Him a ‘Traitor.’

Following the release of the files on President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, a letter allegedly signed by John F. Kennedy Jr. calling former President Joe Biden a “traitor” has been highlighted. The letter is referenced in a released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document from September 1994.

According to the FBI document, the letter was handwritten and delivered to Biden’s former Senate office in Washington, D.C. It stated, “Dear Sen. Biden, You are a traitor,” and the document was signed “John F. Kennedy Jr.”

It remains unknown if the letter was actually signed by the son of former President John F. Kennedy, who died several decades after his father in a plane crash in 1999. An investigation at the time found no definitive evidence that JFK Jr. penned the letter.

Several personalities on social media highlighted the FBI document, including comedian Russel Brand, who stated, “WAIT!! Did JFK Jr. warn us that Joe Biden was a traitor to America before he was killed!?”

Other documents released as part of the Kennedy files have shed some light on events surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy, including the death of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative Gary Underhill. According to a magazine article filed among the documents, Underhill told friends that the CIA was responsible for the assassination.

Underhill was found dead, apparently by suicide, less than six months later, in circumstances some regard as suspicious.

Trump Threatens NYC with Federal Funding Cuts Over Crime Wave, Orders Audit.

President Donald J. Trump is pressing New York City’s transit authority to reduce crime levels or face significant federal funding cuts. Trump’s Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued the demand in a letter addressed to the Metro Transportation Authority (MTA) on Tuesday, stating that the federal government intends to “restore order” within the city’s transit system.

“The trend of violent crime, homelessness, and other threats to public safety on one of our nation’s most prominent metro systems is unacceptable. After years of soft-on-crime policies, our Department is stepping in to restore order,” Sec. Duffy wrote. “Commuters are sick and tired of feeling like they have to jeopardize their safety to get to work, go to school, or to travel around the city. We will continue to fight to ensure their federal tax dollars are going towards a crime-free commute.”

The letter demands data on fare evasion, assaults on workers and customers, and police presence from the MTA. Duffy also requested an account of how federal funds are utilized to enhance safety and security. His message underscored the urgency of compliance to avoid financial consequences, including potential redirection or withdrawal of funding.

In response, MTA’s Chief of Policy and External Relations, John McCarthy, contended that crime on the transit system is decreasing. He claims that compared to pre-pandemic levels in 2020, crime has dropped by 40 percent, with a 25 percent decrease in fare evasion since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

However, this is misleading. For instance, assaults on the subway hit a 27-year high in 2023, and polls consistently show a majority or plurality of the public believes crime on the transit network is getting worse—suggesting official crime statistics are deficient.

Zelensky Has Already Broken Trump-Putin Energy Infrastructure Ceasefire Deal: Moscow.

Russia is accusing Ukraine of breaching a U.S.-brokered halt to attacks on energy infrastructure. On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald J. Trump held a lengthy 90-minute phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which the latter agreed to a 30-day cessation of attacks on critical energy facilities and infrastructure. However, on Wednesday, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed Ukraine violated the agreement by attacking an oil transfer facility in the Krasnodar Region.

The Russian facility services an international pipeline operation partially owned by American companies. According to the Russians, the incident reportedly involved three drones targeting the Kavkazskaya oil pumping station, causing a fire that emergency crews struggled to control.

Russian military officials allege that Ukraine’s actions were intentional, aiming to disrupt peace efforts between Russia and the United States. Meanwhile, Ukraine alleges that Russia—which has significantly degraded the Ukrainian energy grid—intensified artillery shelling and knocked out power to a Ukrainian city immediately following the pledge to halt energy infrastructure attacks.

“Clearly, this was a premeditated provocation by the Kiev regime aimed at derailing the U.S. president’s peace initiative,” Russian officials said on Wednesday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has been reluctant to agree to a ceasefire unless the U.S. agrees to intervene against Russia if the war reignites, is expected to speak with Trump in the coming days.

Diplomatic efforts regarding the Ukraine conflict are set to continue, with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff announcing upcoming talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, European and United Kingdom officials plan to expedite arms shipments to Ukraine, anticipating further hostilities despite Trump’s ceasefire proposal.

Last Battle of Britain Pilot John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway Dies at 105.

The last remaining pilot who took part in the Battle of Britain in the Second World War has passed away at the age of 105. John A. Hemingway, the last known survivor of the Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots who were pivotal in the fighting, passed away in Dublin, Ireland, the RAF announced.

Known as Paddy, Hemingway flew Hurricane fighters during the crucial air campaign that occurred from July 10 to October 31, 1940. The battle was a turning point in the war as RAF pilots prevented Adolf Hitler’s Operation Sea Lion, a planned invasion of the British Isles.

The RAF had just 749 fighter aircraft against the German Luftwaffe’s 2,550. Despite being outnumbered, the British pilots succeeded in holding off German bombers and securing the air space above Britain.

Winston Churchill, the then-Prime Minister of Britain, acknowledged the valor of the RAF pilots during an address to the House of Commons in August 1940. In his tribute, Churchill stated, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”

Throughout World War II, Hemingway flew missions over France, Britain, and Italy, surviving being shot down four times between 1940 and 1945. In July 1941, he was awarded Britain’s Distinguished Flying Cross for his bravery in combat.

The death of Hemingway comes as some fear the potential of a Third World War amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. President Donald J. Trump aims to end the conflict and has explicitly told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky he is gambling with World War Three by resisting a ceasefire.
