U.S. on Verge of Major Measles Outbreak as Migrant Shelters Become Breeding Grounds.

The U.S. faces a major measles outbreak as migrant shelters become breeding grounds for a plethora of infectious diseases. Reported cases of measles in the first two months of 2024 have nearly outpaced the whole of 2023, with hundreds thought to be exposed in California and Arizona. An outbreak was also reported this week in a Chicago migrant shelter.

Forty-five confirmed measles cases were recorded in the US over the first two months of 2024 across 17 states, data from the CDC suggests. Fifty-eight infections were recorded in the entirety of 2023. Around 300 people in California were warned they could be infected after a child with the virus visited a medical center outside Sacramento. Health officials in Arizona issued warnings in five locations after confirming one case and detecting a probable second infection.

Last year, authorities warned of the potential of a measles epidemic due to the influx of illegal aliens. “When they are bussed to New York and elsewhere, these diseases go with them,” Dr. Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at New York University, wrote at the time.

Biden’s VA to Expand IVF to Gays.

The Department of Veterans Affairs under Joe Biden is set to expand taxpayer-funded fertility treatments to unmarried persons, including homosexual couples and would-be single parents.

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough said “raising a family is a wonderful thing” and he was “proud that VA will soon help more Veterans have that opportunity.”

Previously, fertility treatments were only available to married, heterosexual couples. Now, qualified veterans will have access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) using donated sperm or eggs.

Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.), who has helped to push the “inclusive” changes, said they were “an important step forward that will help more veterans start and grow their families — and it’s especially timely as IVF is under attack from the far right.”

Murray was likely referring to an Alabama court ruling that fertilized embryos qualify as children, leading some fertility treatments in the state to be paused amid fears disposing of unviable or unused embryos could be a crime.

Far from endorsing this, Republican leader Donald Trump urged lawmakers in the state to protect access to IVF. Legislators and the state governor quickly passed a law doing so.

DeSantis Continues to Run ‘Shadow Campaign’ & Host Donor Events.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is term-limited out of another run for his current position, is still hosting fundraisers raising concerns that he is running a “shadow campaign” for president.

His chances of something happening to President Donald Trump ahead of the election in November are pretty slim, but it had been a serious consideration of his official campaign for some time. On the other hand, he may be amassing campaign funds for another run in 2028, though it would seem remarkably early.

“Next month, DeSantis hosts a two-day presidential-donor gathering at the Hard Rock Hotel in South Florida that’s billed as… an “Investor Appreciation Retreat,”” writes Marc Caputo, a long-time DeSantis-world reporter. Caputo describes it as “the latest phase of an image makeover DeSantis started after he officially dropped out of the 2024 race on January 21 and endorsed Donald Trump.”

Additionally, “DeSantis has hosted one-on-one thank-you calls with donors, small meetings with more of these “investors” in Naples and in Miami, and conference calls with former volunteers,” over the past month.

“He’s an old baseball player so he knows he struck out, he’s still in the dugout, and he knows there’s another at-bat,” said an adviser, who was not authorized to speak on the governor’s behalf. “Plus, there’s no crying in baseball,” reports Caputo.

Weird.

U.S. Sends Marine Anti-Terrorism Unit to Haiti to Protect Embassy.

The U.S. has deployed a Marine anti-terrorism unit to Haiti to protect the American embassy there as gang violence continues to plague the nation’s capital.

In a statement released early Wednesday, U.S. Southern Command said it deployed a “U.S. Marine Fleet-Anti-terrorism Security Team (FAST) to maintain strong security capabilities at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and conduct relief in place for our current Marines, a common and routine practice worldwide.”

“The U.S. Embassy remains open, and limited operations continue, focused on assistance to U.S. citizens and supporting Haitian-led efforts to secure a peaceful transition of power,” it added.

American military forces were previously deployed to Haiti over the weekend to shore up security at the U.S. Embassy and assist in evacuating non-essential personnel.

Haiti has been in a state of anarchy, with violent gangs rampaging throughout Port-au-Prince, since Prime Minister Ariel Henry left the country in February. Reports indicate the nation is now effectively under the control of gang leader Jimmy Chérizier.

Dem Resolution Declares Racism ‘Public Health Crisis.’

Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has introduced a resolution designating racism as a “public health crisis.” The resolution, alleging health disparities and inequities across varying societal sectors, cites “microaggressions” and “police violence,” among other progressive obsessions.

Brown’s resolution notes that “Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are 2.5-times more likely to die from diabetes than non-Hispanic White women,” and “Black, Hispanic or Latino, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Native American communities experienced disproportionately high rates of COVID–19 infection” – but does not explain how racism causes these maladies.

It also asserts, without supporting evidence, that “inequities in health outcomes are exacerbated for people of color who are LGBTQIA+,” and blasts the United States as a country with “a longstanding history and legacy of racism, mistreatment, and discrimination that has perpetuated health inequities for members of racial and ethnic minority groups.”

Brown — who recently hired a black man to say the ‘n-word’ for his latest audiobook — also suggests black people are regularly “confronted and threatened by armed citizens while performing everyday tasks, such as jogging in neighborhoods, driving, or playing in a park,” and that these encounters can cause “severe physical or psychological harm” even when they are not “fatal.”

Polls show Donald Trump is currently leading Joe Biden by nine points in Brown’s state.

Elon Musk Cancels Don Lemon X Deal After Interview.

Former CNN host and alleged sex pest Don Lemon revealed a planned collaboration with X (formerly Twitter) was canceled following an interview with platform owner Elon Musk.

Lemon interviewed Musk for the inaugural episode of his new online show, which had been slated to partner with X. Now, however, Lemon says the partnership will not go ahead, suggesting the entrepreneur did not enjoy his questions and had changed his mind about “working directly with new and diverse voices.”

Musk has put out his own statement, insisting “X is a platform that champions free speech” and that Lemon remains “welcome to publish its content on X, without censorship” — but “like any enterprise, we reserve the right to make decisions about our business partnerships, and after careful consideration, X decided not to enter into a commercial partnership with the show.”

Pressed on the reasons by a Mark Zuckerberg parody account, Musk said, “[Lemon’s] approach was basically just ‘CNN, but on social media’, which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying.”

He added that he was not speaking to “the real Don Lemon” but to “Jeff Zucker talking through Don, [which] lacked authenticity.”

Lemon says his Musk interview will still air on YouTube, podcast sites, and X.

Ex-Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley Cashing In After Military Career.

Former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley has successfully cashed in since leaving his government job. According to reports, his income, propelled by speaking engagements and advisory positions, has well-surpassed his military earnings of $204,000 annually.

JPMorgan Chase has retained the former US military leader as a senior adviser — most likely to advocate for the company’s interests on Pentagon-related matters. Milley has also received roles at both Princeton and Georgetown Universities as a guest lecturer and resident fellow.

Milley has also jumped on the lucrative public speaking circuit. After leaving the Pentagon, the former Joint Chiefs chairman joined the Harry Walker speaker’s agency. According to the group, Milley provides audiences with his perspectives on global affairs and a deep understanding of today’s geopolitical issues. The speaker agency claims that he offers “[m]ore than a lesson in history or current events, General Milley helps audiences understand the significance of this moment in time as a potential turning point in history.”

While the specific earnings from Milley’s speaking engagements have been kept under wraps, it is notable that former government officials, including ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have been paid significantly well for similar speaking services. The National Pulse previously reported that another former government official, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has cashed in with his retirement. His pension and other retirement benefits exceed $350,000 annually.

Trump’s $92M Bond Approved in Carroll Defamation Case, Clearing Way For Appeal.

Judge Lewis A. Kaplan approved former President Trump’s $92 million bond in the second E. Jean Carroll defamation case. In January, a New York jury found the former President guilty of defaming Carroll. He was subsequently ordered to pay an $83 million civil judgment.

Last week, Trump moved to appeal the ruling and submitted the $92 million bond as required under New York law. The bond will now serve as security, ensuring Trump will fulfill the payment obligations if his appeal fails. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan will hear the appeal.

The disparity between Trump’s $92 million bond and Carroll’s awarded damages stems from the requirement for an appeal bond to equal 110% of the judgment value. The bond money was garnered from The Federal Insurance Company based in Chesapeake, Virginia.

The former President’s legal defense iterated that his statements about Carroll were formulated to preserve his reputation, protect his family, and uphold his Presidency. Trump has continued to deny the sexual assault allegations made by Carroll.

In a separate proceeding last year, a federal jury in New York ruled Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, though not for rape, leading to a $5 million payment imposed on Trump.

Support for Same-Sex Marriage Dips for First Time in Nearly a Decade.

American public support for same-sex marriage fell for the first time since 2015, according to a recent survey from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI).

The latest PRRI American Values Atlas (AVA) survey found that support for same-sex marriage fell from 69 percent to 67 percent between 2022 and 2023. The last time the PRRI’s AVA measured a drop in support for same-sex marriage was between 2014 and 2015, when it fell to 53 percent from 54 percent.

PRRI CEO Melissa Deckman attributed the drop in support to America’s ongoing “culture wars.”

“Our survey shows that support for LGBTQ rights has dipped slightly from 2022 to 2023 Deckman said in a statement released Tuesday. “The growing partisan divide on these issues show the effect of the continuous use of LGBTQ identity and LGBTQ rights as a wedge issue in our nation’s culture wars,” Deckman continued.

The drop in support is likely the result of ongoing far-left efforts to push transgender ideology on the public, especially children, despite the dangers and risks involved. Several states have sought to ban the promotion of so-called ‘pride,’ and a majority of Americans do not believe children should be able to undergo sex change surgery. Brands that have used transgender individuals as ambassadors have faced significant backlash, including Doritos, which recently attempted to hire a transgender pedophile.

Georgia Judge DISMISSES Multiple Charges Against Trump, Including Central ‘Find the Votes’ Allegation.

Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee partially dismissed the charges against Donald Trump brought by embattled Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis, including the central claim he pressured the Secretary of State to “find” votes for him.

McAfee dismissed six of 13 counts against the former president. They “contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited” he wrote in his Wednesday order.

“The lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal,” McAfee wrote.

“They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways,” he explained.

Crucially, McAfee has dismissed charges that Trump “unlawfully solicited, requested and importuned” the Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to violate his oath of office when he told him “I need 11,000 votes” to change the outcome of the election.

The full context of the call is that Trump was unhappy with the conduct of the election, particularly in Fulton County — where Willis is now DA — and with officials letting fraud go unchecked. He wanted Raffensperger to take steps to uncover at least 11,000 fraudulent votes, believing this would be easy “because we won the state.”

“Why don’t you want to find this, Ryan? What’s wrong with you?” the then-President said to Ryan Germany, Raffensperger’s General Counsel.

Willis also faces an imminent ruling on whether she is even allowed to continue prosecuting the case. She faces allegations she lied about her relationship with married lover Nathan Wade, whom she selected as her lead prosecutor, and has personally profited from the case.
