TIRED OF WINNING: GOP Rep. Ken Buck is Retiring Because of Trump’s Enduring Popularity.

Outgoing Representative Ken Buck (R-CO) is lashing out against his Republican colleagues, accusing them of lying for former President Donald Trump. Buck leveled the accusation while discussing his impending retirement and the current state of the GOP during a recent interview with NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt.

In terms of his retirement decision, Buck insisted it wasn’t prompted by fears of losing potential primary or general elections, as he was successful in the face of previous electoral opposition. He said his priorities have moved more towards his personal life, including spending more time with family. However, Buck explicitly connected his retirement decision to the continued popularity of former President Donald Trump.

“We’re at a time in American politics that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,” he said.

Buck told the Stirewalt that he is concerned about the changes within the GOP. He claimed the party is shifting away from the principles that defined the Tea Party towards populism, a development he believes to be hazardous. “We’ve gone from a time when the Tea Party stood for conservative principles to a time where the populists have taken over the Republican Party and are really advocating things that I believe are very dangerous,” Buck said.

The criticisms leveled by Buck — a staunch opponent of mass immigration during his tenure in Congress — have left some in the GOP baffled. Over the last year, the Colorado Republican has repeatedly criticized fellow immigration hawks like former President Trump and blasted Republican efforts to impeach Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

MSNBC Compares Defeating Trump to ‘Saving Europe from Hitler.’

The Second World War struggle against Nazi Germany is comparable to defeating former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, according to MSNBC.

During a discussion on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” panelist Mike Barnicle directly compared US involvement in WWII and efforts to defeat Trump at the ballot box.

Reflecting on James Rudder of the Second Airborne Battalion’s actions at Pointe du Hoc during the Normandy invasion, Barnicle noted, “he went right at the Germans, right at the Germans. Fifty percent casualty rate. Why did they do it? They did it because we were Americans, and we were there to save Europe from Hitler.” Barnicle continued: “And now, all of these years later, we have to get together as a country and save the country from the threat that Donald Trump proposes.”

Comparing Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler is a favorite rhetorical tactic of the Left. In January, it was reported that the Biden campaign’s efforts to portray Trump as a threat to ‘democracy’ were part of a “full Hitler” strategy designed to deceive the public.

Scientists One Step Closer to Resurrecting Woolly Mammoth.

Texas-based biotech firm Colossal Biosciences has taken a significant step towards the science fiction dream of resurrecting an extinct species.

The company announced Wednesday that scientists have created induced pluripotent stem cells for Asian elephants, the closest living relatives of the long-extinct woolly mammoth. Though peer review is still pending, the company plans to share the details in a scientific paper posted on the bioRxiv preprint server. Geneticist George Church, co-founder of the firm and a professor at Harvard University, hailed the milestone as a significant early stage in the project.

The ambition is to employ cloning and gene editing techniques to manipulate these newly created elephant cells in hopes of generating elephants bearing key traits of mammoths, including fur coats and fatty layers for cold survival. Church stated that the aim wasn’t to create a perfect mammoth genome but rather an improved version that could resist diseases like the devastating herpesvirus currently threatening elephant calves.

The project, however, has sparked fierce debates among scientists about the ethics of rejuvenating extinct species. Critics, such as Karl Flessa, a geoscience professor at the University of Arizona, express concerns about the potential for “freak shows” in zoos and the risk of subjecting reborn species to a second extinction due to modern environmental threats.

Church defended the venture, stating the intent is to bolster conservation efforts and use resistant traits to protect endangered animals like Asian elephants. Although the potential for this innovation remains controversial, many researchers see enormous potential in studying these specialized stem cells for the conservation of genetic diversity and species sustainability.

Cops Told to Watch for Man Who Texted His Mother: ‘Been Thinking An Awful Lot About Bombing Trump Supporters.’

Law enforcement officers in Tennessee were notified last week to be on the lookout for a man named Benjamin Matthew Dayton, who may be plotting attacks on supporters of former President Donald Trump. According to the ‘Officer Safety Awareness’ bulletin, Dayton sent his mother several concerning text messages suggesting he intended to cause harm or even kill Trump supporters.

“Have been thinking an awful lot about rigging my van and bombing [T]rump supporters,” Dayton said in one message. The bulletin informed officers that Dayton had also been experiencing “suicidal and homicidal ideations and also mentioned trying to obtain a firearm.”

Dayton’s Instagram profile contains an image of a 1969 US Army “Handbook of Improvised Explosives.” He also posted an image of his van with the anti-Israel slogan “from the rivers to the sea” painted on it.

According to a spokesman for the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, contact was made by the Arkansas State Police with Dayton after the bulletin’s release. “On March 1, 2024, The Tennessee Office of Homeland Security issued an officer safety bulletin to Tennessee and surrounding states’ law enforcement agencies based on information provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Memphis Field Office regarding Benjamin Dayton,” the spokesman said in a statement to The National Pulse. They added: “Recently, law enforcement agencies in Arkansas made contact with Mr. Dayton and the bulletin was allowed to expire.”

The National Pulse has reached out to the Arkansas State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for further details on when contact with Dayton was made and if the FBI is recommending charges against him.

Denver Begs Property Owners to House Illegal ‘Newcomers.’

The city of Denver, Colorado, is desperately pleading with landlords to take in illegal aliens as it struggles to deal with the influx of invaders.

“We put out a feeler to all the landlords we have connections with,” said Jon Ewing of Denver Human Services. “Basically said, listen, we’re going to have some newcomers who will need housing.”

Denver was recently forced to evict migrants from city shelters as it lacks both the space and the financial resources to house them, with Mayor Mike Johnston saying the city was approaching its “breaking point.”

Ewing revealed that the city has managed to house many of those evicted migrants with the help of local non-profit groups. “We’re at below 1,800 [migrants needing housing] right now, which is the first time that number’s been that low since September,” he said.

In addition to providing them with housing, the city has also endeavored to get the migrants work permits, helping “1,300 people right now, over the last two weeks or so… get their work permits,” Ewing revealed.

Denver has so far spent nearly $58 million supporting 38,861 migrants, most of whom are reportedly from Venezuela. Ewings’ use of the word ‘newcomers’ to describe Denver’s illegal alien population is noteworthy — the Biden White House recently adopted the same language.

Alabama GOP Answers Trump’s Call to Honor Motherhood by Protecting IVF.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has signed a bill protecting doctors who provide in vitro fertilization (IVF) and their parents from prosecution after Donald Trump called on the state to preserve access to the treatment.

IVF had been paused in Alabama as a result of the state supreme court ruling frozen embryos must be regarded as children. IVF generally results in the creation of several embryos that are not used or cannot be used, and the ruling saw hospitals suspend fertility treatments for fear they could be prosecuted for disposing of these.

Trump urged the Republican-led state legislature to “act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of IVF in Alabama,” stressing the GOP should “always be on the side of the Miracle of Life – and the side of Mothers, Fathers, and their Beautiful Babies.”

It has now done so, with Gov. Ivey signing its bill and explaining, “Alabama works to foster a culture of life, and that certainly includes IVF.”

“I am pleased to sign this important, short-term measure into law so that couples in Alabama hoping and praying to be parents can grow their families through IVF.”

Doritos Drops Trans Ambassador With Pedo Posts Following Backlash.

Doritos has dropped ‘Samantha Hudson,’ born Iván González Ranedo, as a brand ambassador after public outcry over the transgender influencer’s history of pedophilic online posts resulted in the hashtag #BoycottDoritos being shared widely on X.

Doritos, produced by PepsiCo subsidiary Frito-Lay, faced fierce criticism for partnering with Hudson in Spain. He was not only a far-left activist, having said he seeks “the destruction and annihilation of the traditional family,” but had a disturbing history of lewd posts about pre-teen children.

Writing in Spanish, Hudson declared he wanted to “thuggish” or “depraved” things to a 12-year-old in one of the posts. In another, he wrote about “screaming that I’m a nymphomaniac in front of a super beautiful 8-year-old girl” in the middle of the street “in panties.”

“We recently created a content series with Samantha Hudson, a local influencer. After the campaign started, we were made aware of Samantha’s deleted Tweets from around 2015,” Doritos Spain said in a statement on the terminated partnership.

“We have ended the relationship and stopped all related campaign activity due to the comments. We strongly condemn words or actions that promote violence or sexism of any kind,” they added.

170 Democrats Vote AGAINST Laken Riley Act That Protects Americans From Criminal Migrants.

U.S. lawmakers passed the Laken Riley Act on Thursday despite the opposition of 170 Democrat Congressmen who oppose sanctions on criminal migrants and continue to disparage the memory of the murdered college student from Georgia.

The bill passed by 251-170 votes and will require the detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of illegal immigrants implicated in local theft or burglary charges. The bill was drafted following the brutal murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley, a nursing student at the University of Georgia, by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, who had prior criminal charges but was not previously detained by ICE.

The malefactor, identified as Jose Antonio Ibarra, had arrests and citations on his record in multiple states, including a child endangerment arrest in New York and a misdemeanor shoplifting citation in Georgia. Congressman Mike Collins, who advanced the bill, represents Georgia’s 10th Congressional District in Athens, the site of the fatal incident on February 22. He stated that the Laken Riley Act is America’s “wake-up call” to tackle what he sees as an “illegal crime wave” brought about by the ongoing border crisis.

The legislation also allows states to take legal action against the federal government if an immigration-related decision harms the state or its citizens.

‘Full Scale European War’ Chances ‘Significantly Increasing,’ Says Moscow.

Western interference in the war in Ukraine is “significantly increasing” the chances of a full-scale European war, says leading Moscow military staff.

“The possibility of an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine — from the expansion of participants in ‘proxy forces’ used for military confrontation with Russia to a large-scale war in Europe — cannot be ruled out,” said Colonel-General Vladimir Zarudnitsky, head of the Russian army’s Military Academy of the General Staff. “The likelihood of our state being purposefully drawn into new military conflicts is significantly increasing,” he added.

Zarudnitsky’s warning comes as Western powers continue to escalate their involvement in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

A recent German military leak revealed that British troops are already active on Ukrainian soil. The leak occurred soon after French President Emmanuel Macron indicated he would send soldiers to Ukraine to fight Russian forces. While there is “no consensus today to send in an official, endorsed manner troops on the ground” to Ukraine, “nothing can be ruled out,” Macron said.

In another recent bombshell report, it was revealed that the CIA has had an active presence in Ukraine since around the time of the so-called Maidan Revolution and is continuing to support Ukrainian forces. The Biden government has been desperately trying to escalate US involvement in the war, even at the cost of US defense capabilities. Last week, it was reported that regime officials are considering sending US arms shipments to Ukraine without replenishing stockpiles.

Warmonger Macron Keeps Trying to Start a NATO-Russia Hot War.

French President Emmanuel Macron has said there are “no limits” to France’s support for Kiev, further attempting to intensify pro-war sentiments as Sweden joins the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

His statement came during a meeting held with the country’s political party leaders at the Elysee Palace to deliberate on the situation in Ukraine.

After the meeting, Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the French Communist Party, said Macron had expressed that “France’s position [on the war] has changed” and that “there are no more red lines, there are no more limits.”

The French government’s increasingly belligerent approach to the war in Ukraine follows Macron’s comments that he would not rule out sending troops to fight there and comes as a senior Russian military official warned that increasing Western interference in Ukraine could spark a full-scale war in Europe.

“[A] large-scale war in Europe… cannot be ruled out,” said Colonel-General Vladimir Zarudnitsky, head of the Russian army’s Military Academy of the General Staff. “The likelihood of our state being purposefully drawn into new military conflicts is significantly increasing.”
