UK Tories on Course for 200-Year Election Low.

Britain’s Labour Party is poised to win a staggering 262-seat majority in next month’s general election, leaving the Conservatives with a meager 72 seats, their worst performance in nearly two centuries. This is a dramatic decline from their 2019 result and less than half their previous worst result of 156 seats in 1906.

A Survation survey of 22,000 people, commissioned by Best for Britain, shows Labour sweeping 70 percent of the seats (456) with 40 percent of the total vote. Meanwhile, the Conservatives, despite still being the main opposition party, are predicted to win only 72 seats. If Labour gains just a 2-point swing, the Tories could be reduced to a mere 29 seats. This shift highlights the stark decline in Conservative Party support, which has dropped 21 points from 2019 to 24 percent in this survey.

The party has governed mostly to the center-to-far left for the past 14 years.

One of the most closely watched races is in Clacton, where Nigel Farage is narrowly projected to win with 31 percent of the vote, just two points ahead of the incumbent Conservative Giles Watling, who is expected to secure 29 percent.

Labour is set to win for the first time in traditionally safe Conservative areas such as Chipping Barnet, Hexham, Sutton Coldfield, and Tatton. Additionally, Labour is making inroads in Southend, Bournemouth, and the Isle of Wight, regions that have never had a Labour Member of Parliament.

‘Mass Shootings’ Are Up 44% Under Biden.

Mass shootings have surged during Biden’s presidency, with a projected total of 2,462 incidents by the end of 2024, according to the Gun Violence Archive. This marks a staggering 44.32 percent increase compared to the 1,706 mass shootings that occurred during Trump’s four years in office.

The Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as an incident where four or more people are shot and/or killed, excluding the shooter. This consistent definition allows for accurate tracking and comparison of gun violence incidents across different time periods.

Key Figures:

  • Trump’s Term (2017-2020):
    • 2017: 347
    • 2018: 335
    • 2019: 414
    • 2020: 610
    • Total: 1,706
  • Biden’s Term (2021-2024, projected):
    • 2021: 689
    • 2022: 646
    • 2023: 656
    • 2024 (projected): 471
    • Total: 2,462

The increase is underscored by the carnage in most Democrat-run cities in America, with most gun crime victims either known to their assailants or gang violence or robbery

Migrant Gangs Surge Across America.

The Biden government’s border crisis has allowed a flood of foreign criminal gangs to infiltrate the United States. Tren de Aragua, a brutal Venezuelan gang, has attained footholds in several major Texas cities, as well as Chicago and New York City. Meanwhile, Mexican drug cartels are driving human smuggling over the southern border largely unchecked. Even more concern, The National Pulse reported on Tuesday that eight alleged ISIS operatives were detained across the United States, including in Los Angeles, New York City, and Philadelphia.

Joe Biden‘s illegal immigration crisis exposes America to ‘ghost’ criminals, paramilitary operatives, and potential terrorists. Tren de Aragua has used the crisis to grow from a Venezuelan prison gang into a severe threat in both the United States and their home country. This gang is implicated in human smuggling and sex trafficking, often identifiable only by tattoos depicting AK-47s and gas-masked skulls.

During a recent arrest in Queens, a suspect, Bernardo Raul Castro-Mata, was found to be an illegal immigrant and a suspected Tren de Aragua member. The New York Police Department (NYPD) and other law enforcement agencies are increasingly encountering such ‘ghost criminals.’

Members of Mexican drug cartels and other criminal organizations are exploiting the porous southern border. Joseph Humire, a national security expert, links Tren’s U.S. presence to border lawlessness. Tren members are involved in numerous investigations in states including New York, Illinois, and Texas. Over 15 million illegal immigrants may have likely entered the U.S. since Joe Biden‘s inauguration. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens has recognized that many hardened criminals hide among groups crossing the border, making identification difficult.

Meanwhile, Mexico’s Jalisco New Generation cartel has spread its operations far from the border, even into Florida. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), cartels are active in all 50 states.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Chris Wray has expressed concern over potential coordinated attacks similar to an ISIS-K attack in Moscow earlier this year. The arrests of the eight suspected ISIS terrorists earlier this week underscore ongoing national security risks tied to illegal immigration. Additionally, Chinese organized crime syndicates are also posing a problem. These Chinese gangs run numerous illegal cannabis farms in states like Oklahoma, Maine, and New Mexico. These farms rely on trafficked Chinese laborers, many tricked into working under inhumane conditions.

BREAKING: Biden DOJ Refuses to Prosecute AG Merrick Garland After Contempt of Congress.

The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) will not prosecute Attorney General Merrick Garland for contempt of Congress. In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson released late on Friday, the DOJ, overseen by the Attorney General, argued that the House Republican‘s contempt resolution does not preempt Joe Biden‘s assertion of executive privilege regarding audio records of two interviews he sat for with special counsel Robert Hur. Garland was held in contempt for refusing to furnish the recordings to Congress.

“The longstanding position of the Department is that we will not prosecute an official for contempt of Congress for declining to provide subpoenaed information subject to a presidential assertion of executive privilege,” the letter, authored by Assistant Attorney General Carlos Felipe Uriarte reads. He adds: “Across administrations of both political parties, we have consistently adhered to the position that ‘the contempt of Congress statute was not intended to apply and could not constitutionally be applied to an Executive Branch official who asserts the President’s claim of executive privilege.'”

WHAT ABOUT BANNON & NAVARRO?

Despite Uriarte’s claim, this precedent was not extended to Dr. Peter Navarro or Stephen K. Bannon, both sentenced to jail time due to a congressional contempt charge made by the hyper-partisan January 6th committee, which fabricated information and mass-deleted evidence. Meanwhile, Garland has publicly and dubiously argued that “Releasing the audio would chill cooperation with the department in future investigations, and it could influence witnesses’ answers if they thought the audio of their law enforcement interviews would be broadcast to Congress and the public.”

The DOJ letter concludes: “…the Department has determined that the responses by Attorney General Garland to the subpoenas issued by the Committees did not constitute a crime, and accordingly… will not bring the congressional contempt citation before a grand jury or take any other action to prosecute the Attorney General.”

Marine Le Pen Calls for Islamist Dual Nationals to Be Stripped of Citizenship and Deported.

In her first speech since her National Rally (RN) party won the European Parliament elections in France, populist leader Marine Le Pen has vowed to strip Islamist dual nationals of their French citizenship and deport them.

“Bi-nationals connected to Islamist ideology must be stripped of their nationality and expelled. The French who adopt the ideology of the enemy must be brought before justice and punished. The laws exist; they just need to be applied,” Le Pen vowed.

“Radical mosques will be shut down, hate preachers expelled,” she continued. “[A]ssociations connected with Salafism and the Muslim Brotherhood will be dissolved. With me, be assured that the rights of women, today challenged by the Islamist obscurantism, will be granted to all the women of France. With me, the security will not go against liberty, in any case, not against the liberty of honest people.”

President Emmanuel Macron called a snap national election after National Rally placed first in the European elections, securing 31.4 percent of the vote against 14.6 percent for Macron’s Renaissance party.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, believes Macron is gambling RN lacks the resources to fight another election campaign on such short notice. For a majority in the National Assembly, RN need to secure 289 seats—a significant increase from their current 88.

Macron’s stunt may be backfiring. RN is projected to win the election even if it fails to secure an outright majority. Meanwhile, a coalition of far-left parties is projected to beat Renaissance into third place.

However, the French right is also experiencing difficulties. The establishment-right Republicans and populist Reconquest are both imploding after failed attempts to establish an electoral pact with Le Pen.

Non-Citizens Accounted for 64% of Federal Arrests in 2018.

A recent report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reveals a significant shift in federal arrest numbers for noncitizens over a 20-year span. In 2018, non-U.S. citizens represented 64 percent of federal arrests, a notable rise from 1998, when they accounted for just 37 percent and U.S. citizens comprised 63 percent.

Despite noncitizens making up approximately seven percent of the U.S. population, according to 2017 Census Bureau data, the BJS report highlights that they were responsible for 15 percent of all federal arrests and an equal percentage of non-immigration crime prosecutions in U.S. district courts in 2018.

A notable increase was seen in the five judicial districts along the U.S.-Mexico border. Federal arrests in these regions nearly doubled from 33 percent in 1998 to 65 percent in 2018. The report indicates that almost 95 percent of this increase pertains to immigration offenses.

The data further reveals that Mexican nationals constituted about 40 percent of these noncitizen arrests, with Central Americans making up another 20 percent. Comparatively, U.S. citizens accounted for 36 percent of all federal offense arrests in 2018.

From 1998 to 2018, the percentage of federal arrests involving Mexican citizens increased from 28 percent to 40 percent, and arrests involving Central Americans surged from 1 percent to 20 percent. Meanwhile, U.S. citizen federal arrests saw a decrease from 63 percent to 36 percent.

The report also identifies the most common offenses leading to prosecutions of non-U.S. citizens in 2018. These include illegal reentry (72 percent), drug-related offenses (13 percent), fraud (4.5 percent), alien smuggling (4 percent), and visa misuse (2 percent). In contrast, U.S. citizens were most frequently prosecuted for drug offenses (38 percent), weapons charges (21 percent), fraud (12 percent), public order crimes (12 percent), and alien smuggling (6 percent).

Surprise! DeSantis & Disney Are Buddies Again After Performative Primary Cat & Mouse Game.

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL)’s Central Florida Tourism Oversight District appointees approved an agreement Wednesday, resolving a two-year dispute involving Walt Disney World and its governing district. This conflict began two years ago when Disney publicly opposed a state law dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.”

The tourism board unanimously approved a 15-year development agreement with the district that included a commitment to infrastructure improvements. In exchange, Disney is agreeing to commit up to $17 billion to investments in its Disney World amusement park over the next two decades.

The agreement follows a March truce, during which both parties ceased litigation in state court and focused instead on negotiating a new development agreement and comprehensive plan by next year. Previously controlled by Disney backers, the district provides essential services like firefighting and mosquito control.

Board member Brian Aungst stated the agreement ensures a cooperative framework for Disney and the district. “This is the day we all have been looking forward to,” Aungst remarked Wednesday. He expressed confidence in reaching a favorable resolution.

Under the agreement, Disney must donate up to 100 acres of its property for district-controlled infrastructure projects, allocate at least half of its construction projects to Florida-based companies, and invest at least $10 million in affordable housing for central Florida. Disney would gain approval to construct a fifth major theme park and two minor parks, potentially increasing its hotel room count and retail and restaurant space.

Unresolved is an appeal in a federal lawsuit Disney filed against DeSantis and his appointees. Post-settlement, Disney requested a pause to negotiate the development agreement. Disney has until next week to decide whether to proceed with the case.

Now NY Wants to BAN Masks on Public Transport. But Look Who’ll Be Exempt…

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is considering a partial ban on masks in the New York City subway system. The Democrat admits anti-Semitic protesters and criminals are using them to conceal their identities during illegal activities. This follows recent legislative actions in North Carolina, where lawmakers passed a ban on masks in public places, with exceptions for medical reasons. The North Carolina measure increases penalties for individuals wearing masks while committing crimes.

During a news conference, Hochul claimed she would “not tolerate individuals using masks to evade responsibility for criminal or threatening behavior.” She did not provide specific details about the prospective ban but said there would be exceptions for health, cultural, and religious reasons—meaning Muslims wearing face veils would be exempt.

The concept of banning masks in public is not new in New York. The state enacted a mask ban in the 1800s amidst violent protests, suspended in 2020 by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo due to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is backing Hochul’s proposed ban. Adams previously advocated for shopkeepers to require customers to remove masks upon entering their stores, to make thieves and other criminals easier to identify.

“Cowards hide their faces. Dr. [Martin Luther] King did not hide his face,” Adams said.

On Monday, masked protesters chanted anti-Semitic and pro-Hitler slogans on the New York subway. It is unclear whether those involved would be impacted by a subway mask ban, however, as the Palestinian keffiyehs and Islamic veils they wore would likely fall under the “cutural” and “religious” exceptions Hochul referenced.

So Who’s Going to Rebuild Ukraine? You Guessed It… Migrants!

The neoliberal oligarchy hopes to reap profits from the aftermath of the Ukraine war by reconstructing with Middle Eastern, sub-Saharan, and South Asian migrant labor, believes Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse.

“They’ve created two major problems,” Kassam explained. “One being Ukraine and the war… the other being mass migration… So they find a solution to both of those problems: the idea of mass importation of people from South Asia, from the Arab world, and from sub-Saharan Africa into Ukraine.”

Kassam noted that Western politicians and corporations are already “divvying up” the reconstruction process despite the fact that “the war hasn’t ended, and they keep telling us that the end of the war isn’t in sight.”

“At the same time, you’ve got all these big, corporate, multinational American companies going out there and saying we want a piece of this, we want a piece of that,” he continued.

The corporations will not be going to “old boys” in Alabama or Arkansas for workers, he believes, but will resort to “cheap migrant labor,” who will be rewarded for their efforts with European citizenship. Kassam has previously predicted Ukraine will become the “first African nation in Europe.”

The National Pulse chief believes there has been a firm shift on Ukraine at Mar-a-Lago, however, with Donald Trump telling Republicans on Capitol Hill the Ukrainians are “never going to be there for us” and arguing “we should pay our own troops more” instead of funding Volodymyr Zelensky’s military.

Hunter Biden Drops Laptop Lawsuit Against Rudy Giuliani.

Hunter Biden is dropping his lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani and Giuliani’s former lawyer, Robert Costello. The lawsuit accused the defendants of manipulating data on Hunter’s “laptop from hell.” Jurors recently convicted Hunter of three felony counts for lying about his drug abuse when purchasing a firearm in 2018, with prosecutors using evidence from the laptop to support their case.

Abbe Lowell, representing Hunter Biden, filed a stipulation for dismissal “without prejudice” on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The stipulation requires each party to bear its attorneys’ fees, costs, and other expenses. Attorneys for all involved parties have accepted the dismissal agreement.

Hunter abandoned the laptop at a computer repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware. Shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac initially turned the laptop’s hard drive over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and made a copy, which was later provided to Costello. Giuliani subsequently supplied the data to the media.

The Democrats and their allies worked hard to suppress the laptop, with social media platforms censoring the story and 51 members of the “intelligence community” publishing a letter claiming it appeared to be disinformation. The signatories to the letter have refused to retract these claims despite the fact they have proven false.

Initially filed in September of the previous year, Hunter Biden’s lawsuit sought more than $75,000 in damages in addition to attorneys’ fees and other penalties. The case alleged that Giuliani and Costello had violated the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act by hacking and manipulating data from the laptop, amounting to an invasion of Hunter Biden’s digital privacy.

Joe Sibley, Giuliani’s attorney, asserted that the dismissal vindicates his client, Costello, and media outlets that previously faced criticism for reporting on the laptop’s contents in 2020.
