Illegals Sent By DeSantis to Martha’s Vineyard Received ‘Victim Visas’ (Apparently That’s a Thing).

A group of illegal immigrants flown to Martha’s Vinyard by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has received a special visa — and accompanying work permit —reserved for those who have been the victims of a crime. The illegals received a U-visa, which opens a pathway to potential permanent legal status.

Rachel Self, an attorney representing the illegals, says DeSantis duped her clients into boarding chartered flights from Texas. She claims they boarded the planes under the pretense they would receive jobs upon arrival in Massachusetts. Sheriff Javier Salazar from Bexar County, Texas, backed the visa push by Self and her clients. A Democrat, Salazar launched a criminal probe into the flights in late 2022. The sheriff alleges the illegal aliens were “exploited and hoodwinked into making this trip.”

At the time, DeSantis pushed back against Salazar’s accusations that the illegal immigrants were exploited. The Florida Governor’s office insisted the illegals voluntarily agreed to take the flights.

The United States Congress only permits the federal government to issue 10,000 U-visas annually. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the visas are ostensibly granted to the “victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are helpful to law enforcement or government officials in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity.”

No charges have ever been announced through the Bexar County investigation. However, the illegals were granted permission by a federal judge in Boston to bring a lawsuit against Florida-based company Vertol Systems Co., which managed the flights.

Biden Mulls Work Permits For Illegals in Bizarre Hispanic Outreach Effort.

Joe Biden is considering granting an executive action that would grant temporary legal status and work permits to illegal aliens in the United States, particularly those married to American citizens. National Democrat leaders, pushing the White House to action, believe the move could help push Hispanic voters to support Biden ahead of November’s presidential election.

Progressive lawmakers on Capitol Hill want Biden to pair the expanded work permits and legal status with any potential executive action to stymie the unchecked flow of illegals at the southern border. They contend that combining the two policy changes could help soften blowback from progressive and pro-open border voters should the Biden government try and enact more restrictive border policies.

Lagging behind former President Donald Trump in 2024 election polls, Biden has signaled — and subsequently backed down — on several occasions that he may use his authority as President to block illegal aliens from entering the United States if the number of crossings reaches a certain threshold. Some Democrats and progressive activists have criticized the Democratic incumbent for even considering the border policy change.

While some Democrats believe granting temporary legal status and work permits to the illegal alien spouses of U.S. citizens will help Biden with Hispanic voters, polling data continues to suggest otherwise. The National Pulse has reported on numerous national polls that show Hispanic voters, by and large, oppose Biden’s current open borders policy.

Additionally, Hispanic voters increasingly say they support the use of the term “illegal immigrant” to describe unauthorized border crossers. Support for mass deportation of illegal aliens — especially those who commit crimes — is also on the rise with Hispanic voters.

WATCH: Trump’s Plan to Retake Colleges From ‘Marxist Maniacs & Lunatics.’

Donald Trump has unveiled a series of policies aimed at driving “the radical left” out of America’s “once great educational institutions,” revealing that his “secret weapon will be the college accreditation system.”

Noting that the cost of tuition has been “absolutely exploding” while academics have wasted funds on “indoctrinating America’s youth,” Trump said higher education accreditors “are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers, but they have failed totally.”

WATCH:

“When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics,” he vowed.

New accreditors will “impose real standards,” including “defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions… [and] removing all Marxist Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion bureaucrats,” he said.

On Tuesday it was revealed that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s key surrogates are now jockeying for positions in the Trump administration, including Education Secretary.

UK Pledges Additional $620 Million for Ukraine.

The United Kingdom pledged an additional $620 million in military aid for Ukraine on Tuesday, including over four million rounds of ammunition and long-range missiles. The aid follows the passage of a $61 billion package for Ukraine in the U.S. House of Representatives and comes as Russia is stepping up its advances on Ukraine’s eastern front following significant battlefield victories earlier this year.

The office of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Tuesday morning to confirm the aid, before traveling to Warsaw to discuss even more aid with Poland’s globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Sunak assured the “U.K.’s steadfast support” for what his office described as “Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s brutal and expansionist ambitions.”

The $620 million aid package includes 400 vehicles, 60 boats, 1,600 munitions, and four million rounds of ammunition. The UK will also send Storm Shadow long-range missiles as part of the shipment.

Even with further aid from the UK and the U.S., a Ukrainian victory in its war with Russia is far from guaranteed. U.S. Senator J.D. Vance pointed out that Ukraine needs more munitions and soldiers than it could possibly field to defeat Russia. Regional experts have said the “writing is on the wall” for Ukraine, and even NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg predicted Ukraine might have to “compromise” with Russia in order to achieve piece.

Newsmax Doctors Interview With U.S. Senator to Exclude Ukraine Criticism.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) says the right-leaning news network Newsmax cut an entire segment of his interview with them yesterday evening. The Utah Republican claims the unaired segment of his interview focused on his criticism of the Ukraine foreign aid supplemental funding bill.

“Newsmax cut an entire segment of my interview last night,” Sen. Lee posted on X (formerly Twitter) late this afternoon. The conservative lawmaker continued: “No mention of Ukraine—even though part of the interview focused specifically on the supplemental.”

“I’ve never had this happen with any news network, not like this,” he added.

Sen. Lee specifically called out Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy over the cut segment, with the Senator asking him “what happened?”

The Utah Senator has been a strong critic of sending additional military and foreign aid to Ukraine, especially as its defense against Russia’s invasions appears to be faltering. On Saturday, a coalition of Democrats and Republicans in the House passed a series of supplemental funding bills that provide for tens of billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The legislation also includes a provision that would force the Chinese-owned company ByteDance to divest itself from TikTok.

A spokesman for Lee also told The National Pulse: “On Tuesday, Senator Lee appeared on ‘Eric Bolling The Balance’ on Newsmax to discuss various political issues of the day. For some reason, Newsmax aired everything but Senator Lee’s condemnation of the disastrous foreign aid bill that abandons America’s borders while throwing 60 billion dollars into the Ukraine proxy war. It is unclear who at Newsmax made the decision, but we know that it was not Mr. Bolling.”

The National Pulse previously reported that Newsmax received a $50 million investment from the Qatari royal family.

Trump Trial Day 2 Summary: Pecker Pokes Holes In Prosecution’s Case.

Day two of the Manhattan-based hush money trial of former President Donald Trump saw abbreviated testimony from the former National Enquirer CEO, David Pecker. The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief, Raheem Kassam, noted on X (formerly Twitter) that the tabloid newsman’s recounting of events did not go well for District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution. After briefly taking the stand on Monday — before the court adjourned around 12:30 PM ET — Pecker continued his testimony on Tuesday, delving into the substantive nature of the accusations leveled by Bragg’s office.

PECKER SCHEMED WITH COHEN ALONE. 

While Bragg and his prosecution team have insisted that Michael Cohen‘s payments to smut star Stormy Daniels were at the direction of former President Donald Trump, David Pecker directly undermined this aspect of the case. Pecker testified that he was the one who told Trump that women might come forward with false accusations of affairs since the former President had been a sought-after bachelor connected with multiple beautiful women.

According to Pecker, it was he and Cohen who planned the strategy of paying off accusers and having them sign non-disclosure agreements. The newsman insinuated that Trump himself was unaware of their scheme. Pecker’s testimony appears to represent a significant blow to Bragg’s prosecution, which is largely contingent on Trump having directed the payment scheme.

DID TRUMP VIOLATE THE GAG ORDER?

The only other significant courtroom action happened before Pecker’s testimony. Prosecutors and attorneys for the former President argued before Judge Juan Merchan as to whether Trump had violated a court-issued gag order. Bragg’s team told the judge that Trump had “willfully,” “flagrantly,” and “repeatedly” violated the order with both social media posts and comments made to the press outside the Manhattan courthouse. Todd Blanche, the lead attorney for Trump, fired back that the former President is “allowed to respond to political attacks.”

Democrat-aligned Judge Juan Merchan appeared frustrated with Blanche’s line of defense and repeatedly asked him to point to specific posts or comments by Michael Cohen or Stormy Daniels that constituted “political attacks.” Blanche offered a few examples and insisted that Trump has complied with Merchan’s gag order, which caused Merchan to become irate.

“You’re losing all credibility, I have to tell you right now,” the judge told Blanche, adding angrily:  “You’re losing all credibility with the court.” Despite his outburst, Merchant said he would not rule today on whether former President Trump had willfully violated the gag order.

Republican Voters Against Trump ad

The New and Cringe ‘NeverTrump’ Ad May Actually Break Employment Law.

The NeverTrump group Republican Voters Against Trump is set to release a new ad that will air on Fox News in several swing states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. It features an unidentified man asking various employees at an unknown mall location about being hired. The man will then off-handedly mention that he’s either facing 88 felony charges, that he’s been found liable for sexual assault, or that he’s been charged with falsifying business records. Each one of the store employees demurs or outright tells him he won’t be hired.

Republican Voters Against Trump’s intended message is that the charges — with no convictions at this point — against former President Donald Trump are disqualifying. However, the ad’s premise is flawed, based on the use of charges brought by the Biden government’s lawfare campaign against the former President.

On the whole, the four separate prosecutions that comprise the charges have repeatedly been labeled by legal experts as dubious. The NeverTrump group appears to believe voters can be fooled by oversimplifying the legal persecution brought by Biden and his Democrat political allies.

In all likelihood, the whole ad is staged, and the reported mall store employees are simply actors — despite the ad using a black bar to hide their faces, giving the impression that it is an undercover video. Otherwise, Republican Voters Against Trump may have unintentionally exposed several businesses engaging in employment discrimination.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) states that while employers can consider criminal convictions in hiring, the denial of hiring based solely on an arrest and not a conviction is discrimination. If these are real people, each of whom responded negatively to the 88 charges line, they likely violated EEOC rules.

‘Privileged’ Mehdi Hasan Says His Firing Was ‘A Blessing.’

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan has described his firing by the left-wing network as a “blessing,” boasting that, while he was “disappointed when they canceled my show,” he can now “say whatever I want in a way a lot of folks who have employers can’t.” Hasan departed the network in January.

The British-born Muslim made the comments in a lengthy puff piece for New York magazine, which implied MSNBC fired him for embarrassing an Israeli government spokesman in an interview. In fact, Hasan had come under heavy criticism for his social media output after the October 7 terror raid on Israel, which primarily targeted civilians.

Among other things, Hasan shared a pro-terrorism post blaming the attack on the “utter desperation of gaza palestinians [sic],” who saw “no options for their future but the launch of a suicidal war.”

‘BOUGHT PRIVILEGE’.

The article offered several insights into Hasan’s life, with the far-left journalist admitting his Indian immigrant parents “bought privilege” for him in England, where he attended prestigious schools and universities.

It revealed he had a “reputation as a loudmouth” at school, and “would go outside during the national anthem.” He claimed he was “not some anti-British person,” however, and that the stunt was motivated by “issue[s] with the royal family.”

Any similar issues with the Qatari royal family, which wields absolute power and hosts many of the senior leaders of Hamas, did not stop him from taking up work with Al Jazeera later in life — an episode upon which the New York article barely touched.

MULLAH MEHDI. 

Another missing episode in the story of Hasan’s life, which New York charted from age five, recounting his teenage ambition to “become the first Asian prime minister of the UK” and his journalistic rise, was his long flirtation with Islamist extremism.

His promotion to politics editor of The New Statesman and entrée into BBC commentary was noted, but not the controversial sermons he gave around the same age, describing “non-Muslims” as “cattle” who “live their lives as animals.” He also preached that unbelievers are “people of no intelligence” or morality.

These sermons were public knowledge when MSNBC chose to hire Hasan.

Facebook Has Interfered In U.S. Elections 39 Times Since 2008 – Report.

A study by the Media Research Center (MRC) revealed that Facebook has allegedly interfered in U.S. elections at least 39 times since 2008, while Google has reportedly done so 41 times over the past 16 years. Despite CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s professed commitment to free speech, Facebook’s actions seemingly belie this stance.

“Like Google, Facebook has an extensive history of interfering in U.S. elections. But it’s not completely fair to compare the two companies. I believe some part of Mark Zuckerberg believes in free speech. Google management clearly does not,” Brent Bozell, founder and president of the MRC, said in a recent interview. He continued: “But regardless of what Mr. Zuckerberg believes, his company’s policies and practices have resulted in a great deal of censorship that always seems to target the same side of the political spectrum, and it needs to stop.”

Researchers Dan Schneider and Gabriela Pariseau conducted the MRC’s study, demonstrating what they consider a complex interplay between Zuckerberg’s public support of free speech and the alleged censorship practices within Facebook. Examples offered include censorship of 2024 presidential candidates, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and a reported shutdown of political advertising a week before the 2020 election. The researchers also cite instances wherein conservative perspectives were alleged to be blacklisted or suppressed in the platform’s Trending News section.

Schneider and Pariseau believe that Zuckerberg’s repeated public endorsements of free speech contrast with Facebook’s subsequent actions, particularly after so-called ‘civil rights’ audits, which they suggest led to more stringent censorship practices.

The National Pulse has previously reported on the Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) and its activities to undermine U.S. elections by using private grants awarded to state election officials. In April of this year, Wisconsin voters barred groups like CTCL from funding election workers.

Tommy Robinson Schools Journalist

WATCH: Tommy Robinson Humiliates Reporter Before Being CLEARED by Judge After Ludicrous Arrest.

Citizen journalist and anti-grooming gangs campaigner Tommy Robinson has been cleared of charges he refused to obey a lawful police dispersal order. A day prior to Tuesday’s decision, he clashed with Victoria Bird, a corporate journalist for Comcast-owned Sky News, who proved ill-informed about the case.

Outside court, Bird had sneered at Robinson, saying, “most journalists don’t have criminal convictions.” Robinson responded that he had never been tried by a jury, and Bird responded that he was “about to be,” forcing him to correct her.

“No, I’m not,” he told her. “If you knew your facts, there’s no jury waiting in there.”

Scrambling to recover, the corporate journalist insisted he was being tried by a judge “due to the severity of the alleged offense.” Robinson asked what his alleged offense was, and it quickly became apparent Bird did not know. She had to look up the case on her phone, reading aloud that he was “charged with refusing to leave an anti-Semitism protest in London… failing to comply a Section 35 direction [sic] excluding a person from an area.”

Robinson, who asked Bird if she would “wait out here to apologize when it gets proven that this was all unlawful,” was cleared on Tuesday. A judge ruled he had “no case to answer.” The police did not have a lawful order to remove him, which they admitted under questioning.

However, Robinson said the judge “threatened” him for “intimidating” Sky News.

WATCH:

ARRESTED FOR COVERING A PUBLIC PROTEST. 

Robinson was covering the March Against Anti-Semitism in London in November 2023 when Metropolitan Police officers approached him. The officers said his “presence in the area was likely to cause harassment, alarm, and distress to others.” He refused the order to leave, arguing it was contrary to his rights. Officers pepper sprayed and arrested him.

His bail conditions ahead of the current hearing included a near-total ban on being present in London. Police arrested him a second time for breaking these by celebrating his daughter’s birthday with her inside the capital.

Robinson reports it was Campaign Against Antisemitism chief executive Gideon Falter who had the Metropolitan Police remove him. This month, Falter complained bitterly when officers from the force threatened to arrest him for being near a pro-Palestinian protest. He was told his “openly Jewish” appearance could trigger a “reaction.”
