Woman Working for Dem Nonprofit Arrested for Registering Dead, Nonexistent Voters.

A Pennsylvania woman has been arrested and charged by the state government for registering dead and nonexistent individuals to vote in the 2024 election. The woman allegedly made the fraudulent registration in the course of her work for the New Pennsylvania Project, a Democrat-aligned nonprofit group that claims to work to increase turnout among minority voters.

According to Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer, the woman—identified as 38-year-old Jennifer Hill—fraudulently registered four individuals, including her deceased father, to vote in the 2024 election through an app created by the Pennsylvania Department of State. Additionally, Hill—through her work as a canvasser for the New Pennsylvania Project—used the app to register 310 individuals between the spring and fall of 2024. The state accepted a total of 181 of her registration submissions, while 129  were rejected for various reasons.

Hill was arrested by Pennsylvania law enforcement on December 19. Subsequently, she has been charged with forgery, tampering with public records or information, applying for registration knowing the individual is not entitled to registration, and several other crimes. Investigators discovered the voter fraud scheme after analyzing Hill’s registration submissions, revealing that she filed voter registration requests using variations of the same individual’s name but listed different addresses. Further investigation revealed no such individuals lived at the reported address.

“Miss Hill is being charged with four counts of registering people—including her dead father and a person who died in the house she currently lives in, in 2011, that she was the one who notified authorities that he was dead in that house,” Stollsteimer said at a news conference. He added: “So she knowingly registered dead people or attempted to register dead people through the state system.”

Pentagon Admits There Are Over 1,000 More U.S. Troops in Syria than Previously Claimed.

The Pentagon has disclosed a significant increase in the number of U.S. troops stationed in Syria, totaling around 2,000 personnel. This figure exceeds previous counts of approximately 900, as reported to the media over recent months. Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Ryder addressed the discrepancy during a briefing on Thursday, claiming that the previously unreported forces are temporary rotational deployments adapting to mission needs, unlike the core contingent on longer missions.

Ryder highlighted that U.S. deployments, including those in Syria, may vary due to diplomatic and operational considerations. These additional forces were present before President Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia as his regime collapsed under the pressure of a jihadist offensive. According to the Pentagon, the U.S. troops are mostly involved in missions aimed to continue diminishing Islamic State (ISIS) capabilities in the region.

The revelation occurs amidst a heightened focus on Syria following Assad’s departure. Turkish military actions against the U.S.-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have escalated, posing a threat to security in the region. SDF Commander Gen. Mazloum Abdi cautioned that Kurdish fighters’ potential withdrawal could facilitate an ISIS resurgence. He noted reduced guard numbers at key detention facilities like the Raqqa ISIS prison, emphasizing the growing vulnerability of those sites.

If Kurdish forces, threatened by Turkish hostility, are compelled to retreat by Turkey and its jihadist proxies, U.S. forces may face withdrawal as well.

Italian Deputy PM Salvini Acquitted of Spurious ‘Kidnapping’ Charges for Stopping Illegal Immigration.

Italy’s populist Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has been fully acquitted after being charged by prosecutors for “kidnapping” migrants while protecting his country’s borders from illegal aliens. A court in Palermo, Sicily, ruled in favor of Salvini, leader of the anti-mass migration League (Lega) party after prosecutors accused him of “kidnapping” illegal immigrants trying to reach Italy by ship by refusing to allow them to disembark.

The incident took place in 2019 when Salvini served as Interior Minister in a previous government. It involved Open Arms, a migrant “rescue” non-governmental organization (NGO), which had picked up 147 illegals at sea and tried to drop them off on the Italian island of Lampedusa rather than North Africa.

Salvini’s trial lasted for three years and saw 45 witnesses heard at 24 separate hearings, with prosecutors demanding Salvini face six years in prison. Prosecutors had tried to argue that the protection of human life at sea trumped defending Italy’s borders.

The defense, meanwhile, noted that Open Arms knew it was banned from Italian territorial waters and refused a Spanish offer of a safe port.

“Acquitted for stopping mass immigration and defending my country. The League wins, common sense wins, Italy wins,” Salvini stated following the verdict.

During his tenure as Interior Minister, Salvini managed to slash illegal immigration to Italy considerably. The ‘Salvini Method’ not only led to fewer migrant arrivals but also led to fewer drowning deaths in the Mediterranean Sea, as fewer attempted to make the journey in the first place.

Italy’s current prime minister, Giorgia Meloni of the populist Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, has also sought to work with the European Union and other countries to reduce illegal arrivals, but with less success.

Over 200,000 Residents Fled This U.S. State in a Year.

Census Bureau data reveals that, between 2023 and 2024, more individuals fled California than from any other state in the U.S. California reported a net domestic migration loss of 239,575 residents. New York followed with a loss of 120,917 residents over the same period.

The data confirms a continuing trend in the Western United States, particularly in California, where numerous residents have moved to southern states in recent years. The Institute for Economic Policy Research highlights that many people leave California for more affordable and safe living conditions, with housing costs being a significant factor. The National Pulse previously reported that a conservative exodus from California likely helped push Nevada back into the Republican column in the 2024 presidential election.

California’s cost of living ranks among the highest nationwide. According to Redfin, the current median sale price of a home in California is $831,300, nearly doubling the national median of $430,010. States like Texas and Arizona have been primary destinations for former California residents. Despite the economic motivations, about a quarter of those leaving cited political reasons for their move.

Texas emerged as a primary beneficiary of the outflow, recording a net gain of 85,267 new residents over the same period. Texas offers several advantages, such as no state income tax and ongoing housing development, unlike California, which faces a homelessness crisis and housing shortage. The state’s energy independence from the Western Interconnection electric system also appeals to many.

The overall U.S. population grew by approximately 1 percent in the last year, exceeding 340 million individuals. This marks the fastest yearly growth since 2001 and is predominantly attributed to increased net international migration, likely illegal immigration.

MSNBC Wants Anchors Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle to Take Pay Cuts as Network Spirals.

MSNBC hosts Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle are reportedly being asked to accept reduced salaries to maintain their roles as the network seeks to cut costs. This development follows a recent pay cut for Rachel Maddow, whose salary was reduced by $5 million annually. The far-left news network has seen ratings plummet for its flagship programming since President-elect Donald J. Trump’s landslide 2024 election victory.

Joy Reid, currently hosting the 8 PM show The ReidOut, is believed to earn $3 million annually. Reid, with MSNBC since 2011 and a primetime anchor since 2020, has recently reemerged as a leading conspiracy theorist regarding the first assassination attempt against Trump and other ‘BlueAnon‘ figments. Meanwhile, Stephanie Ruhle, who hosts The 11th Hour at 11 PM weeknights, reportedly receives $2 million annually. Ruhle, known for her critiques of Donald Trump, recently acknowledged his accessibility to the press compared to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Jonathan Lemire, newly appointed co-host of Morning Joe, is also facing a potential salary reduction

MSNBC, headquartered at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, is experiencing internal concern over potential layoffs after parent company Comcast announced plans to spin off its cable properties. There are further concerns regarding the future of MSNBC President Rashida Jones, although network representatives have denied reports of her potential departure. This situation arises amidst declining primetime ratings, with MSNBC’s viewership dropping by more than 50 percent since November.

Meanwhile, competing network Fox News has reported a 7 percent increase in audience numbers since Election Day, maintaining its status as the leading cable news channel in both total viewers and the important 25-54 age demographic.

Turkey Prepares to Destroy U.S.-Backed Kurds in Post-Assad Syria.

With Turkey-backed jihadists having ousted Bashar al-Assad in Damascus, Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan is preparing a major offensive in north-eastern Syria, which is controlled by the mostly Kurdish, U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Erdogan, whose country is home to a sizeable Kurdish minority, regards the SDF as allies or an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), designated as a terrorist organization for its armed resistance to Turkish rule.

“We will show that the time has come to neutralize the terrorist organizations present in Syria. We will do this to prevent any further threats coming from the south of our borders,” Erdogan has vowed, warning: “The end of the road for the terrorist organizations is near. There is no room for terrorists in the future of the region. The shelf life of the PKK terrorist organization and its extensions has run out.”

U.S. officials have observed a build-up of Turkish and Turkish-backed militia forces at the Syrian border and are pressing for “restraint,” while Kurdish officials have written to President-elect Donald J. Trump warning of a “catastrophic” Turkish invasion before he can take office.

GEOPOLITICS.

Turkey has been occupying two so-called “buffer zones” in northern Syria for years, directing much of its firepower in the region against Kurdish forces rather than the Islamic State and other Sunni jihadist factions. Indeed, the al-Qaeda franchise that has supplanted Assad in the portion of Syria he formerly controlled, Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), is effectively sponsored by the Turkish government.

The destruction of Rojava, as the oil-rich Kurdish-controlled territory in Syria is known, would be a significant embarrassment to the U.S., drastically reducing American influence in the country and threatening Europe with another migration wave.

Meanwhile, Russian bases in the country established under Assad have—so far—been allowed to remain in place by HTS.

Death Sentence for Child Trafficker Upheld as Court Rejects Final Appeal.

The death sentence for a woman convicted of child trafficking has been confirmed by a court in China. The high-profile case dates back to the 1990s. The Guizhou Provincial High People’s Court on Thursday denied the final appeal of Yu Huaying, a 60-year-old found guilty of trafficking at least 17 children between 1993 and 1996.

Earlier this year, Yu was initially convicted of trafficking 11 children, but a retrial revealed her involvement in the sale of 17 minors. In addition to the death penalty, the court permanently revoked Yu’s political rights and ordered the confiscation of her assets.

Yu’s activities only came to public attention in 2022, when victim Yang Niuhua reported her to authorities in Guiyang. Yang, who was trafficked for 3,500 yuan in 1995, had been searching for her family and shared her experiences online. Her parents had died after her abduction, but she managed to find other relatives.

Yu’s illegal endeavors reportedly began with her own son, whom she sold for 5,000 yuan in the early stages of her criminal activities. She was assisted by her partner, Gong Xianliang, who died shortly after Yu’s arrest, escaping trial.

According to the trial court, Yu operated a “complete criminal chain” across regions, including Guizhou, Yunnan, and Chongqing, selling children through intermediaries in Hebei.

In the United States, child trafficking has become a major issue at the southern border, with thousands of unaccompanied minors being trafficked from Mexico. Around 85,000 children have gone missing after being placed with sponsors by the Biden-Harris regime, some of which are thought to be linked to people trafficking. Overall, as many as 291,000 illegal immigrant children have gone missing under the Biden-Harris regime.

Donald J. Trump pledged to lobby for the federal death penalty to be expanded to human traffickers in 2023, shortly after hosting a screening of the anti-trafficking film Sound of Freedom.

Escalation: UK May Deploy Troops to Ukraine as ‘Trainers.’

The British government could deploy troops to Ukraine, supposedly to train local soldiers, according to Defence Secretary John Healey. “The UK will step up our international leadership on Ukraine throughout 2025,” he said, adding: “We will enhance our offer of training to Ukraine and provide battle-winning capabilities.”

In comments made during his visit to the war-torn country, Healey emphasized the need for training to align more closely with Ukrainian needs. This move forms part of a broader five-point strategy outlined by Healey to enhance British support for Ukraine.

As part of this initiative, the British government announced on Thursday an additional $282.3 million in military aid to Ukraine. This package includes $115.4 million for the Ukrainian navy, covering small boats and drones, and $85.3 million for air defense mechanisms such as radars and counter-drone warfare systems.

British forces have trained over 51,000 Ukrainian recruits so far. While Foreign Secretary David Lammy had previously stated there would be no commitment of British ground troops in Ukraine, when asked about a deployment this week, he was equivocal, stating, “It is strength that Vladimir Putin will respond to… The truth is Putin is not a man you can negotiate with.”

Britain has been adamant about escalating its role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict since the election of President-elect Donald J. Trump, for instance, by permitting Ukraine to launch British-supplied Storm Shadow long-range missiles into Russia. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer granted the permission despite President  Putin stating such actions would be considered an act of war.

Finland, one of NATO’s newest members, has warned against other members sending troops to Ukraine, even as peacekeepers. He estimates as many as 150,000 troops would be needed. Currently, the British Army boasts fewer than 20,000 infantrymen, leaving it ill-equipped to fight a conventional land war with any major power.

Mexico’s Leftist Prez Bends the Knee, Will Accept Mexicans Deported by Trump.

Far-left President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico says her country will accept Mexican nationals deported from the United States under incoming President Donald J. Trump. The concession is a significant win for Trump and his border czar, Tom Homan, who plan to initiate one of the largest immigrant enforcement operations since President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said the Sheinbaum government “is prepared to work in coordination with federal, state, and local authorities in the face of possible mass deportations.” The ministry added: “We reaffirm the responsibility and obligation of the Mexican State to our fellow citizens so that they can have the confidence that they will be received in the manner they deserve in the face of present and future challenges.”

The move comes as President-elect Trump is threatening to enact economically crippling tariffs on imports to the U.S. from Mexico and Canada unless the two countries increase security at the U.S. southern and northern borders. Following the threat, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged to step up border actions, and earlier this week, the country confirmed it would budget $1.3 billion for new border security measures.

Meanwhile, in the weeks following the 2024 presidential election, Sheinbaum has spoken numerous times with Trump. The Mexican president has allegedly pledged to turn back illegal immigrant caravans from Central and South America as they attempt to traverse her country toward the U.S. border.

However, Mexico continues to assert it will not act as “a safe third country” for illegal immigrants from other nations being deported from the United States.

Trump Warns Johnson, GOP on Debt Ceiling: Resolve Situation by Inauguration or Face Primaries.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has expressed confidence in House Speaker Mike Johnson retaining his role—if he handles spending legislation to prevent a government shutdown correctly. “If the speaker acts decisively, and tough, and gets rid of all of the traps being set by the Democrats, which will economically and, in other ways, destroy our country, he will easily remain speaker,” he said. However, he warned, “Anybody that supports a bill that doesn’t take care of the Democrat quicksand known as the debt ceiling should be primaried and disposed of as quickly as possible.”

Trump differs from the GOP in that he rejects not only the current spending bill, which includes all manner of controversial provisions, but also a so-called “clean” continuing resolution (CR), which would keep the government running as is with no policy changes or new conditions. Instead, the President-elect wants an otherwise “clean” CR that also lifts the debt ceiling.

“If Republicans try to pass a clean Continuing Resolution without all of the Democrat ‘bells and whistles’ that will be so destructive to our Country, all it will do, after January 20th, is bring the mess of the Debt Limit into the Trump Administration, rather than allowing it to take place in the Biden Administration,” Trump argued in a Truth Social post early Thursday.

“Any Republican that would be so stupid as to do this should, and will, be Primaried. Everything should be done, and fully negotiated, prior to my taking Office on January 20th, 2025.”
