Left Melts Down After Bannon Calls for Trump Third Term.

War Room host Stephen K. Bannon, former White House Chief Strategist to President Donald J. Trump, has sent Democrats and corporate media members into meltdown by calling for the America First leader to serve a third term at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Several have gone so far as to accuse the MAGA stalwart of making a “Nazi salute” during his speech.

“Days of thunder, years of lightning. Every day is Christmas Day; every day you get more executive orders, more executive actions. It’s not going to stop,” Bannon said of the Trump administration’s performance so far.

“They’re running around asking, ‘What’s the future of MAGA? What’s 2028?'” he said of the media’s response to the new administration. “We’re not about 2028—we’re about today, tomorrow, the next day. That’s how we won,” Bannon said.

“In 2021, we didn’t ask what’s going to happen in 2024. Every single day, you report for duty—action, action, action. So, media, you don’t need to ask me. I’ll tell you now: the future of America is MAGA, and the future of MAGA is Donald J. Trump. We want Trump in ’28. That’s why they can’t stand him. A man like Trump comes along once or twice in a country’s history,” he added, leading the crowd in chants of, “We want Trump!”

Reactions to Bannon’s speech on the left were hysterical, with particular attention being lavished on a gesture compared to a Nazi salute. Similar allegations have been leveled at Elon Musk in the recent past.

Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN) has already put forward a constitutional amendment to allow presidents serving non-consecutive terms, like President Trump, to run again. Some in the corporate media also fear that, according to one interpretation of the Constitution, he could serve a third term by running as Vice President and having the candidate at the top of the ticket abdicate in his favor post-election.

Trans Athlete’s Victory in State Championship Could Draw Trump Sanctions.

A biological male’s victory in a Maine high school pole vaulting championship could draw federal repercussions for the school district and the Maine Principals’ Association, which oversees high school sports in the state. A male transgender athlete who goes by Katie Spencer won the state’s Class B pole vaulting championship, helping secure Greely High School’s overall victory in the team competition.

The inclusion of Spencer in the competition violates an executive order signed by President Donald J. Trump earlier this month barring males from participating in women’s sports. Trump’s order allows federal agencies under Title IX authority to withhold funding and other assistance from organizations found in violation, in this case, Greely High School and the Maine Principals’ Association.

Spencer’s victory drew national attention after a social media post by State Representative Laurel Libby, who noted that he had competed in the boys’ division two years prior. “Girls’ sports have come a long way, and I think we have a responsibility to protect Maine girls and ensure they have a level playing field,” the state lawmaker told local Maine media.

The Maine Principals’ Association, responsible for overseeing high school sports in the state, has opted not to implement Trump’s executive order, allowing male athletes to continue participating in girls’ sports. Despite the violation, it is not yet clear if the Trump administration will move to withhold federal funding for the organizations.

Stephen Miller Vows to Mobilize ‘Full Might’ of DHS, DOJ, DOD for Mass Deportations.

Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, stated in a briefing that the U.S. will utilize the resources of multiple federal departments to support President Donald J. Trump’s mass deportation program. “I can promise you that the full might of the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, and every element and instrument of national power will be used to remove with speed all criminal illegals from the soil of the United States of America, to enforce final removal orders, and to ensure that this country is for American citizens and those that legally belong in this country,” he vowed.

Miller confirmed the administration is committed to removing all criminal illegal immigrants from the United States, enforcing removal orders, and maintaining the integrity of American citizenship.

Miller outlined actions taken early in Trump’s presidency, referencing challenges inherited from the Biden-Harris government, such as a non-operational U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) previously focused on resettling illegal immigrants instead of removing them. “In 30 days, the president sealed the border shut, declared the cartels to be terrorist organizations, has increased ICE deportations to levels not seen in decades, and we are shortly on the verge of achieving a pace and speed of deportations this country has never before seen,” he stressed.

In just the first 18 days of the administration, approximately 11,000 illegal immigrants were deported. Plans are in place to expand detention facilities, with the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba already receiving illegals and ramping up to accommodate up to 30,000 detainees.

The administration reports a sharp decrease in illegal border crossings. Since January 20, apprehensions at ports of entry have reportedly dropped by 93 percent.

Three Democrats Charged With Election Fraud.

Three officials from the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania have been indicted in federal court for allegedly conspiring to unlawfully manipulate their elections by illegally adding individuals to voter rolls. Vice President of the Borough of Millbourne Council Md Nurul Hasan, Council Member Md Munsur Ali, and former Council Member Md Rafikul Islam were charged on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on 16 counts each of election fraud for falsifying voter registrations.

According to federal prosecutors, the three men—all of Bangladeshi origin—used an online voter registration portal to inflate the voter rolls in an effort to win borough council seats during a 2021 local primary election. Both Hasan and Islam were unsuccessful, losing their primary races. Subsequently, Hasan would go on to win a council seat during the 2023 election.

Notably, Millbourne is a small locality in Pennsylvania, with a total population of just over 1,000 people—most of whom are registered as Democrats. Nearly two-thirds of the borough’s residents are South Asian, and 63.8 percent of those living there are foreign-born.

The National Pulse has previously reported on the issue of election fraud in ethnic communities in the United States. In Hamtramck, Michigan, Muslim politicians are accused of holding secret meetings where they auctioned off absentee ballots to candidates, ensuring their victory. Additionally, residents claim the city’s Muslim leaders have engaged in voter intimidation, pressuring other Muslims to back their campaigns.

Trump Ends Biden-Era Protections for Haitians, Clearing the Way for Deportations.

The Trump administration announced on Thursday that it is canceling the 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals residing in the United States granted by former President Joe Biden. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem revoked Biden’s extension, meaning the estimated 500,000 Haitians covered by TPS will see the protections expire in August instead of next February. The move clears the way for federal immigration officials to remove the Haitians from the United States once their TPS designation expires.

In late January, President Donald J. Trump revoked the TPS designation for over 600,000 Venezuelan nationals and directed DHS officials to begin a review of other immigrant groups that received TPS protections under the Biden government. The extension of TPS protections to Venezuelans has been a point of controversy among American voters as a number of the migrants who received the designation are likely members of the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua.

Haitian nationals have been eligible for TPS protections since 2010, when then-President Barack Obama provided the status to help those displaced from their homes on the Caribbean island following a devastating earthquake. The protections are only supposed to be temporary, and those receiving the designation are expected to return to their home countries. However, President Trump argues that TPS protections were abused under the Biden government, with many recipients remaining in the United States well past what would be considered a temporary relief period.

While the Trump administration has revoked the TPS extension, Sec. Noem has yet to decide whether the protections for Haitians will be renewed once the August deadline is reached.

Biden Funneled $2 Billion in Taxpayer Dollars to Shady Green Group Tied to Stacey Abrams: DOGE.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has linked at least $2 billion of the $20 billion in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grants the Biden government hid at an outside financial institution to Power Forward Communities, an environmental nonprofit group with ties to election denier Stacey Abrams. Established in 2023, Power Forward Communities represents a coalition of far-left organizations led by Rewiring America, where Abrams serves as senior counsel. The grant award is especially concerning as Power Forward Communities reported having only $100 in revenue when the Biden government approved the $2 billion in funding.

Last week, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin announced that he and his staff had discovered $20 billion in agency grants issued in the final days of the Biden government were “parked at an outside financial institution,” effectively limiting federal oversight of the money. With the help of DOGE, Zeldin and EPA staff were able to trace the money to the Biden EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program. The revelation appears to confirm Republican concerns that the program was essentially used as a “green bank” by the Biden government, doling out grants to underwrite far-left nonprofits aligned with the Democratic Party.

“When we learned about the Biden Administration’s scheme to quickly park $20 billion outside the agency, we suspected that some organizations were created out of thin air just to take advantage of this,” Zeldin said in a recent interview, adding: “It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion. That’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue.”

The $2 billion awarded to Power Forward Communities appears to have been earmarked for assisting homeowners in transitioning away from gas to electric stoves and installing EV chargers and solar panels.

French Senate Backs Bill Banning Illegals from Marrying.

France’s Senate voted Thursday to support a bill prohibiting illegal aliens from marrying in the country as the government intensifies a crackdown on illegal immigration. The measure—which the left labels unconstitutional—cleared its first reading in the upper house with 227 votes in favor and 110 opposed and is championed by immigration hardliners Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau and Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin.

The legislation now heads to the National Assembly, France’s lower house, for further debate. The move underscores a rightward shift in French politics, spurred by last summer’s legislative elections that left parliament deadlocked, with Marine Le Pen’s populist National Rally (RN) winning the most seats of any single party.

The French authorities aim to curb sham marriages and seal loopholes that illegal immigrants exploit to secure residence permits or citizenship through matrimony.

This push defies a 2003 ruling from the French Constitutional Council, which declared that a foreigner’s illegal status alone cannot block their right to marry. Green Senator Melanie Vogel slammed the bill as “a blatant assault on the Constitution,” while Socialist Corinne Narassiguin accused it of fueling “a toxic atmosphere of xenophobia and racism.”

The proposal gained traction after a northern French mayor faced legal action from a former mosque leader, whom he refused to marry in 2023. That leader was later deported. French law mandates that all marriages occur in city halls, amplifying the stakes of such disputes.

The Senate’s decision also follows a recent incident where prosecutors called in Beziers mayor Robert Menard for rejecting a 2023 wedding between a French citizen and an Algerian illegal, spotlighting the growing tension over immigration controls in France.

Mitch McConnell Throws in the Towel, Will Not Seek Reelection.

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has announced he will not seek re-election in 2026. McConnell, 83, has occupied the U.S. Senate for 40 years, including stints as Senate Majority Leader, and is the longest-serving Senate party leader in history, controlling the Senate GOP for 18 years from 2006 to 2024.

In recent years, McConnell has become a key establishment Republican holdout against President Donald J. Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. A 2024 biography reveals he wanted Biden-Harris prosecutor Jack Smith to make Trump “pay a price” for January 6, and that he “started to sob softly” when addressing his staff on the subject of the protests. Following Trump’s November election win, he complained that the “America First” slogan is “the same” as the rhetoric of Adolf Hitler’s National Socialists in 1930s Germany.

Since President Trump’s inauguration, he has consistently but usually unsuccessfully attempted to block key Cabinet picks, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. However, he has few supporters among Republican voters, with around three-quarters wanting him gone as long ago as 2023.

His position has been made even less tenable by semi-regular health crises. On more than one occasion, he has frozen while addressing the press, having to be ushered away from podiums by handlers while stricken silent.

McConnell’s retirement opens up a critical Senate seat in Kentucky, which has consistently supported Republican candidates in recent elections. The decision is likely to set off a competitive race among potential successors within the Republican Party, and prompt interest from Democratic challengers aiming to flip the seat.

Trump Urges Federal Takeover of Washington D.C. to Restore Law and Order.

President Donald J. Trump is pushing for federal intervention in Washington, D.C., citing crime and homelessness as major issues. Aboard Air Force One on Wednesday evening, Trump emphasized the need for federal oversight to establish law and order in the capital, claiming local Democratic leadership is insufficient. He mentioned imminent plans to sign an executive order aimed at compelling D.C. officials to tackle crime and dismantle homeless encampments.

“I think that we should govern the District of Columbia,” Trump said, responding to a question posed by a member of the press pool. “I think that we should run it strong, run it with law and order, make it absolutely flawlessly beautiful. And I think we should take over Washington, D.C.”

“I think the federal government should take over the governance of D.C. and run it really, really properly,” Trump reiterated.

Highlighting the Metropolitan Police Department, President Trump expressed a belief that they are not being adequately utilized under current management. Despite expressing personal regard for D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Trump criticized the local administration for high crime rates and for allowing public spaces to become overrun with homelessness and vandalism.

The President also voiced concerns about the city’s image, especially with international dignitaries like French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer visiting. Trump stressed his campaign commitment to revitalizing Washington, D.C., promising to rejuvenate the area and address crime rates.

Trump’s prospective executive action may include initiatives to impose stricter penalties for gun-related offenses and minor crimes like public urination, alongside enhanced protection for national sites and parks. This development aligns with recent legislative efforts by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN), who have proposed terminating the district’s self-governance.

Vance Slams Anti-Peace Agitators for Peddling ‘Moralistic Garbage’ on Ukraine.

Vice President J.D. Vance has taken aim at the anti-peace commentators attacking the Trump administration for attempting to end the war in Ukraine, accusing them of peddling “moralistic garbage.” He singled out Scottish historian Sir Niall Ferguson—a naturalized U.S. citizen—for a hectoring post comparing Trump’s pro-peace stance to the late President George H.W. Bush’s reaction to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait 35 years ago.

“This is moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say,” Vance wrote in his own social media post.

“For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments: first, the war wouldn’t have started if President Trump was in office; second, that neither Europe, nor the Biden administration, nor the Ukrainians had any pathway to victory. This was true three years ago, it was true two years ago, it was true last year, and it is true today,” the Vice President continued.

“[F]or three years, the concerns of people who were obviously right were ignored. What is Niall’s actual plan for Ukraine? Another aid package? Is he aware of the reality on the ground, of the numerical advantage of the Russians, of the depleted stock of the Europeans or their even more depleted industrial base?” he asked. “Instead, he quotes from a book about George H.W. Bush from a different historical period and a different conflict. That’s another currency of these people: reliance on irrelevant history.”

Speaking to Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, on Wednesday, Vance cautioned Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky against attempting to try President Trump’s foreign policy in the court of public opinion. “Zelensky is getting really bad advice, and I don’t know from whom,” Vance said, warning: “He’s not dealing with Joe Biden and the Biden administration anymore.”
