DATA: Mass Migration a ‘Much Bigger Problem’ Than Climate Change.

A global study of 63,000 interviewees across 53 countries finds Europeans believe tackling mass migration is much more important than tackling climate change. Only 14 percent of respondents to the Denmark-based Alliance of Democracies Foundation placed the climate among the top three priorities for government.

Germans are most concerned by mass migration, with 44 percent desiring a cut. Less than a quarter listed the climate as a priority. The country’s leftist coalition government appears to be badly out of step with the public, having just passed legislation to make it even easier for foreigners to acquire German citizenship. Months later, the government conceded there had been a huge rise in foreigners committing crimes and that foreigners now account for an astonishing 41 percent of all criminal suspects.

“Since 2022, more and more Europeans say that their government should prioritize ‘reducing immigration’, and fewer say that their government should ‘fight climate change,'” the Alliance of Democracies report observes. “Now in 2024, for the first time, reducing immigration is a greater priority for most Europeans than fighting climate change.”

A similar phenomenon has been observed in the United States, where immigration overtook “Government” as “the most important problem facing the country” in February, according to Gallup. It also ranked ahead of “inflation” and “the economy in general,” even when combined.

This development is bad news for Joe Biden, who polls badly on inflation and the economy compared to Donald Trump, but especially badly on immigration.

Across the board, the 81-year-old has the worst approval rating of any president since the end of the Second World War at this point in his first and possibly only term.

10 Year Warning From Ron Paul.

Veteran senator and former presidential candidate Ron Paul has warned the “Great Ukraine Robbery” is far from over, as the “elites have no intention of shutting down” their “gravy train.”

“Reuters wrote right after the aid bill was passed that, ‘Ukraine’s $61 billion lifeline is not enough.’ Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell went on the Sunday shows after the bill was passed to say that $61 billion is ‘not a whole lot of money for us…’ Well, that’s easy for him to say,” writes Paul. McConnell, the outgoing Senate Minority Leader, and his wife have a net worth in the tens of millions of dollars.

Paul, the father of Senator Rand Paul, notes Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, “had the nerve to criticize the U.S. for not producing weapons fast enough” after the aid bill’s approval, asking, “How’s that for a ‘thank you’?”

Vice presidential contender Senator J.D. Vance notes U.S. industry is incapable of meeting the Ukrainian military’s needs, however much aid goes to Zelensky, due to lack of capacity. Zelensky says he needs four to seven million 155-millimeter artillery shells to stay in the fight. The U.S. produces only 360,000 annually and can only give some to Ukraine.

Vance argues this reality proves it is time to “accept that Mr. Zelensky’s stated goals for the war — a return to 1991 boundaries — are fantastical” and encourage a compromise peace. Kuleba insists it means the U.S. should reconfigure its economy.

MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

“It’s all about the U.S. weapons industry,” Paul argues. “Last week news broke that the Ukrainian government was in negotiations with the Biden Administration to sign a ten-year security agreement that would lock in U.S. funding for Ukraine for the next two and a half U.S. Administrations. That would unconstitutionally tie future presidents’ hands when it comes to foreign policy and would leave Americans on the hook for untold billions more dollars taken from them and sent to the weapons industry and to a corrupt foreign government,” he warned.

He concluded with a scathing criticism of Biden’s claims the day he signed the multi-billion-dollar aid bills for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan was “a good day for world peace.”

“Yes, and ‘War is peace.’ Debt is good. Freedom is slavery,” he said, citing the slogans of the ruling party in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four.

EXC: Gaetz Claps Back at Kevin McCarthy, Who is Now a Campaign Manager for BLM/DEI Candidates.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy is spending much of his plentiful free time “escalating his revenge campaign” against Congressman Matt Gaetz, according to a new POLITICO article, for which McCarthy was interviewed, repeating false Biden Department of Justice and FBI talking points against the Florida firebrand.

“Gaetz is the Hunter Biden of the Republican Party,” McCarthy told POLITICO‘s Olivia Beavers. “He’s got an opponent who is pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, trained at Pensacola, went to the Naval Academy and flew jets to defend us while Gaetz was getting kicked out of high school, buying coke and paying minors for sex.”

In fact, none of the lurid claims first peddled by the Biden regime via the New York Times were ever proven, despite a number of investigations, including one under McCarthy’s stewardship of the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. Indeed, Gaetz emerged stronger from the attempt on his career, using said power to oust McCarthy, now serving as an entry-level campaign manager for Aaron Dimmock.

Dimmock, who flew surveillance planes for a few years before transitioning to become a management consultant, has previously posted on social media of his “commitment” to Black Lives Matter, as well as “diversity and inclusion.” In fact, the far-left candidate’s curriculum vitae of wokery is so expansive the Gaetz campaign set up a dedicated website for it.

Responding exclusively to The National Pulse over McCarthy’s new role as Dimmock’s campaign manager, Gaetz said: “Kevin will likely spend millions of dollars losing to House Conservatives in primaries this cycle. But it will probably still be cheaper than the therapy he needs.”

Swampier still, the POLITICO piece quotes Brian O. Walsh from Red Elephant Strategy, a new firm stood up in recent years which appears to have made most of its cash by defending McCarthy and his allies in Congress.

Walsh said he traveled to “Florida’s Panhandle in March to conduct focus groups and left pleased with the findings,” which is D.C. consultant speak for “the polling was terrible, so we’ve had to move on to focus groups.” Now, if only McCarthy knew (or lived with) someone who runs focus groups for a living. Hmm.

Politician Fined… After Linking to Govt’s Own Migrant Rape Stats.

Marie-Thérèse Kaiser, a politician from the Alternative für Deutschland Party (AfD), has been found guilty of ‘incitement’ for sharing a government link to statistics on rapes committed by migrants and questioning their disproportionately high incidence rate. In a 2021 social media post, Kaiser asked, in the context of refugee resettlement, “Afghan refugees, welcome culture for group rapes?”

In defense of her post, Kaiser explained her impetus was to spark a debate on the alarming crime rates among Afghan migrants. She stressed her concern as a woman feeling threatened, particularly by groups of male migrants. She also voiced concern that unchecked immigration might be fostering an atmosphere conducive to a surge in criminal activity. Her conviction was met with the pronouncement from the judge that “freedom of expression ends where human dignity begins.”

The announcement of the guilty verdict has sparked controversy and critique, including from entrepreneur and tech giant Elon Musk. “Are you saying the fine was for repeating accurate government statistics? Was there anything inaccurate in what she said?” Musk posted to X (formerly Twitter).

Kaiser has stated she will file an appeal against the verdict.

Germany has witnessed an 18 percent spike in foreign suspects, leading to 41 percent of all crime suspects belonging to foreign communities. Conservative factions in the country argue that these statistics point toward the need for a cap on immigration and a revision of integration policies. The German government, however, continues to focus on homegrown conservative ‘extremist’ threats, especially the AfD, which is expected to surge in this summer’s European elections.

State Says It’s Bound By Federal Law To Provide Voter Registration Info To Noncitizens.

According to the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, federal law requires them — as the state Medicaid administrator — to provide voter registration information to every new filer for assistance, including noncitizens. The agency says it is bound by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) to provide voter registration services — including registration forms.

“SCDHHS does not believe the state Medicaid agency should have a role in voter registration,” Jeff Leieritz, a spokesman for the state agency, said in a statement. He added: “However, absent the legal authority to make this change, SCDHHS remains required by federal law to provide voter registration application forms with each Medicaid application.”

In late April, a noncitizen living in South Carolina notified State Representative Adam Morgan that she had received voter registration information and forms when she applied for public assistance. The South Carolina lawmaker said the woman was unsure if she should fill them out and sought answers from a friend who informed her she could not vote as a noncitizen. When the woman tried to return the forms to the agency, they sent her more voter information.

In addition to the NVRA requirements, Executive Order 14019 — signed by Joe Biden in 2021 — requires federal agencies to prioritize voter registration and voter turnout strategies. The Biden government order has likely caused additional downward pressure on state agencies that manage federal programs to engage in the registration effort.

The South Carolina Election Commission has said they’re investigating the matter of noncitizens receiving voter registration information. “The SEC will not allow fraudulent voter registration to happen on our watch,” the commission’s executive director, Howie Knapp, said. In neighboring North Carolina, federal prosecutors have charged 37 noncitizens with voting in U.S. elections as far back as 1996.

ANOTHER Illegal Arrested For Sexually Assaulting a Child.

A 20-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala was arrested and charged with kidnapping and raping an 11-year-old girl in Palm Beach, Florida, after being released into the United States by the Biden government. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office states that records indicated Marvin Perez Lopez entered the country illegally this past January. He was briefly detained by Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) before being released into the country with an order to appear in a federal immigration court in 2027.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s timeline of the assault reveals that on May 2, the mother of the victim discovered her daughter in a van with Lopez, who also resided in their apartment complex. The mother — initially hesitant to involve law enforcement because of her own immigration status — eventually reported her daughter’s assault.

Local police interviewed the girl, who claimed she was forcibly taken into the van by Lopez and sexually assaulted. While attempting to escape the van, the girl was held back by Lopez. Law enforcement officers arrived at Lopez’s residence the next day to arrest the illegal alien. He reportedly fled in an effort to try and avoid capture. Despite running, authorities quickly apprehended the illegal immigrant accused of sexual assault.

Lopez is being held without bail in the Palm Beach County Jail.

The National Pulse has reported on a concerning number of sexual assaults committed by illegal immigrants.

Biden is Using THIS Federal Agency to Register Voters for Himself.

The Joe Biden regime’s Small Business Administration (SBA) has partnered with Democratic Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to register voters in the crucial swing state in what Republicans are branding a “blatant” effort to boost votes for the incumbent.

The SBA has been subpoenaed by the House Small Business Committee, with chairman Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas) accusing the federal agency of “refus[ing] to comply with the Committee’s ongoing investigation into potential electioneering activities by the SBA.”

“It is unconscionable that during such a precarious time for our nation’s small businesses, the sole federal agency created to serve as their advocate is instead utilizing their limited taxpayer resources and time to advance partisan political campaigns,” commented Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa). He branded the scheme “a blatant attempt by the Biden administration to illegally use the SBA as an extension of the President’s campaign.”

The House Small Business Committee has been attempting to summon SBA officials to answer questions about the Michigan scheme for some time, with the subpoenas issued in response to stonewalling.

“The American people deserve answers and transparency on the electioneering activities of the SBA and how they have or plan to insert themselves in the upcoming federal elections,” said Chairman Williams, accusing the SBA of having “repeatedly strayed” from its “sole mission” of “help[ing Main Street thrive and grow.”

Officially, the purpose of the partnership between the SBA and the Michigan Secretary is to “promote civic engagement and voter registration.” However, such schemes can have the effect of boosting turnout for a particular candidate in elections. Supposedly nonpartisan efforts to increase “voter engagement” and overall turnout by election officials in 2020, funded by Mark Zuckerberg and Google, were funneled almost entirely into Democrat-leaning districts.

‘DEVASTATING’ – Even Trump Haters Admit Stormy Daniels Was ‘Disaster’ for Prosecution.

Consensus among analysts, including those working at networks hostile to Donald Trump and avowed ‘Never Trumpers,’ is that Stormy Daniels’s testimony in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s election interference case on Tuesday was “disastrous” for prosecutors.

CNN Chief Legal Analyst Paula Reid, who often peddles false and negative narratives against Trump, conceded the former president’s lawyers had executed a “devastating, eviscerating” cross-examination of Daniels.

“They’ve gotten Stormy Daniels to concede she hates Trump. That she said that she would dance if he went to jail. They have pointed to the fact that she has said she will never pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars that she owes him,” Reid said.

Daniels’s bringing a flimsy defamation case against Trump saw her ordered to pay substantial costs to the former president. Her lawyer at the time, Michael Avenatti, now describes her as “the most opportunistic person I’ve ever met” and accuses her of falsifying records and committing fraud to avoid the debt.

“They’ve effectively undercut her credibility by getting her to talk about conversations she had, that impeaching her with her own book,” Reid added. “I mean, this has been devastating for Stormy Daniels’ credibility.”

‘A BIG DAMN DEAL.’

Similarly, CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig said Daniels’s “responses were disastrous.”

“I mean, ‘Do you hate Donald Trump?’ ‘Yes.’ … That’s a big deal. When the witness hates the person whose liberty is at stake, that’s a big damn deal!” Honig exclaimed. “And she’s putting out tweets, fantasizing about him being in jail. That really undermines the credibility,” the analyst added.

“The fact that she owes him $500,000 by order of a court, owes Donald Trump a half million dollars, and said, ‘I will never pay him. I will defy a court order,’ the defense is gonna say, ‘She’s willing to defy a court order. She’s not willing to respect an order from a judge. Why is she gonna respect this oath she took?'” she added.

‘SALACIOUS DETAILS.’

Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump staffer who has since parlayed her betrayal of the former president into a job on The View, also believes Daniels’s testimony hurt the prosecution.

“I want to say this; I’m not an attorney, [but] I know Republican voters and I know the Republican public. I’m a bit stunned that the prosecution leaned so heavily into the salacious details about the sexual encounter,” she said, referring to the fact prosecutors repeatedly went into graphic details of the supposed affair the judge had told them to avoid.

“I think to really lean into that side of it… I don’t know that that’s going to play well with a jury,” she said.

Daniels’s graphic stories about her alleged liaison with Trump proved so prejudicial that defense lawyers moved, albeit unsuccessfully, for a mistrial, with Judge Juan Merchan — a Joe Biden donor — admitting some of her testimony crossed the line.

The trial resumes on Thursday with further cross-examination of Daniels.

These Major Firms Are Pressuring Workers to Vote Against ‘Populism.’

An alliance formed by Germany‘s largest companies, including BMW, BASF, and Deutsche Bank, is campaigning against extremism ahead of the European elections. The campaign comes amidst predictions of significant gains for the nationalist populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party.

“Exclusion, extremism, and populism pose threats to Germany as a business location and to our prosperity,” the alliance, which comprises a total of 30 companies, said in a statement. “In their first joint campaign, the companies are calling on their combined 1.7 million employees to take part in the upcoming European elections and engaging in numerous activities to highlight the importance of European unity for prosperity, growth, and jobs,” it added.

The globalist industrial behemoths have been compelled to action due to recent opinion polls indicating the AfD may secure around 15 percent of the EU vote next month, landing them second place, tied with the Greens, following the conservative CDU-CSU alliance. There is some concern among business leaders that strong showings from the populist right could diminish the attractiveness of Europe’s largest economy for migrant labor, exacerbating existing shortfalls in skilled workers.

The campaign plans to utilize social media to emphasize its call against extremism and enlist participation from other companies. The initiative intends to persist post-EU elections, focusing on regions where the AfD party leads in the polls, including Brandenburg, Thuringia, and Saxony.

Right-wing populist parties are surging across Europe, and the establishment in Germany is so scared of AfD that they are intent on banning it.

Muslim Group Hands List of Demands to Left-Wing Leader.

Radical Islamic group Muslim Vote has issued a list of 18 demands to Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the UK Labour Party. These demands, related to both foreign and domestic policy, are presented as non-negotiable conditions, with the group threatening to strategically counter Labour MPs in the upcoming general election if they are not met.

The group’s foreign policy demands revolve around the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Labour’s response to it. Central to these requests is a call for the Labour Party leader to apologize for his ‘greenlighting’ of Israel‘s military actions in the region and to advocate for a permanent ceasefire. Further requests call for a public sector boycott of Israel, sanctions against senior Israeli politicians, the severe reduction of the UK’s military ties with Israel, and the recognition of a Palestinian state.

On the domestic front, the group has demanded provisions for Islamic prayer in all schools, a redefinition of extremism, and the availability of ‘Sharia-compliant’ pensions in all workplaces.

The group was formed in response to the escalation of conflict in Gaza following attacks by the militant group Hamas. Recently, the group has been vocal in its determination to challenge politicians who have not supported a ceasefire in the region. Representing the interests of four million UK Muslim voters, Muslim Vote says it is backed by over 25 organizations.

Sir Keir Starmer has not yet formally responded to these demands, and it remains to be seen how this will affect Labour’s campaign in the upcoming general election.

The brazenness of the group’s extremist demands reveals the extent to which radical Islam has taken hold in the UK. A recent poll found that nearly half of British Muslims are sympathetic towards terrorist group Hamas, and Islamic “no-go zones” are a common phenomenon in the country.
