George Soros, David Rockefeller Jr., Hyatt Hotel heirs Susan and Nick Pritzker, and other majordonors to the Joe Biden campaign are among the biggest funders of the Gaza protest movement accusing the 81-year-old Democrat of genocide.
The U.S. college campus crisis has helped to drive a wedge between Biden and the youth demographic, formerly one of his strongest bases of electoral support. An analysis by POLITICO suggests the pro-Palestinian protest movement, which has occupied buildings, set up encampments, and significantly disrupted colleges across the country, has paradoxically been bankrolled by Biden’s major donors.
David Rockefeller Jr. gave $300,000 to the Soros-seeded Tides Foundation, which has in turn given $500,000 to the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace.
“Why [is the Rockefeller Fund] giving significant grants to Jewish Voice for Peace, [which] blamed the horrific Oct. 7 attacks on Israel and the United States rather than Hamas?” questioned Elisha Wiesel, another Democrat donor.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation previously supported the Tides Foundation, but it has ceased allocating them active grants.
BIDEN’S VIETNAM.
Donald Trump has argued that Biden, whose official position is that there are fine people on both sides of the anti-Israel protests and counter-protests, is struggling to find a coherent position because he “hates Israel” but also “hates the Palestinians.”
The message appears to be cutting through with both younger voters and Muslim voters — crucial in the swing state of Michigan — with many people who would typically trend Democrat saying they will not vote for “Genocide Joe.”
“What do they say? ‘What are they going to do, vote for the guy that banned Arabs?’ And the answer is yes,” explained Palestinian-American comic Amer Zahr in April. “You’re really asking me whether I’m going to take a [travel] ban or a genocide? I’ll take a ban.”
Senator Bernie Sanders, whose supporters previously lobbied Michigan Democrats not to vote for Biden in the state’s primary, has said Gaza could prove to be Biden’s “Vietnam.”

New York Times Executive Editor Joe Kahn slammed the Biden regime for its criticism of the newspaper’s coverage, suggesting that the White House would prefer the Times to document the administration’s activities much like Pravda, the state-run Soviet newspaper. The remarks follow allegations from the White House that the Times isn’t doing enough to prevent Donald Trump‘s return to office.
“To say that the threats of democracy are so great that the media is going to abandon its central role as a source of impartial information to help people vote — that’s essentially saying that the news media should become a propaganda arm for a single candidate, because we prefer that candidate’s agenda,” Kahn said.
“It’s our job to cover the full range of issues that people have. At the moment, democracy is one of them. But it’s not the top one — immigration happens to be the top [of polls], and the economy and inflation is the second. Should we stop covering those things because they’re favorable to Trump and minimize them?” Kahn asked rhetorically.
“I don’t even know how it’s supposed to work in the view of Dan Pfeiffer or the White House. We become an instrument of the Biden campaign? We turn ourselves into Xinhua News Agency or Pravda and put out a stream of stuff that’s very, very favorable to them and only write negative stories about the other side?”
The Biden White House has been highly hostile to media sources that dare to criticize the regime and has gone to great lengths to control media coverage. Last month, it was reported that the regime went as far as pressuring fact-checker Snopes to change one of its ratings.

Former Trumpcampaign aide Hope Hicks had some choice things to say about Michael Cohen last week, which bear consideration. During defense attorney Emil Bove’s cross-examination, Hicks took aim at Cohen’s credibility. She told Bove that the disgraced attorney “used to like to call himself Mr. Fix It, but it was only because he first broke it.”
When Bove, who is one of former President Donald J. Trump‘s attorneys in the hush moneytrial, asked Hicks about Cohen’s role in the 2016 campaign, she threw additional cold water on the prosecution’s assertions. “No, he would try to insert himself at certain moments, but he wasn’t supposed to be on the campaign in any official capacity,” Hicks responded. She added: “There were things he did in a voluntary capacity because of his interest.”
Asked if Cohen was prone to going rogue, Hicks said, “Yes.”
MERCHAN HOLDS TRUMP IN CONTEMPT… AGAIN.
Day eight of former President DonaldTrump‘s Manhattan-based hush money trial ended about 30 minutes earlier than scheduled. Judge JuanMerchan gave no reason for the court’s adjournment.
The court’s morning session began with another hearing on alleged violations of the gag order placed on former President Trump by Democrat-aligned Judge Merchan. Once again, the former President was found in contempt of the order and fined $1,000 for the new violation. “I find you in criminal contempt for the 10th time,” the judge said. He added: “Going forward, this court will have to consider a jail sanction.”
“Mr. Trump, it’s important you understand that the last thing I want to do is put you in jail. You are the former president of the United States and possibly the next president as well,” Judge Merchan continued. He added, “The magnitude of this decision is not lost on me, but at the end of the day, I have a job to do.”
But even Democrat legal strategists admitted Merchan’s behavior didn’t stack up, with the judge seemingly rebuking Trump for statements that have been long-deleted.
I don’t get this. If, as Judge Merchan says, all the offending statements were made prior to the imposition of the first fine, why does he say that it’s evident that fines won’t deter Trump? Deterrence doesn’t work retroactively! https://t.co/E8gYk1Nq2Z
Following the testimony of Hope Hicks, the prosecution next brought Jeff McConney, the former controller — essentially the top accountant — for the Trump Organization. McConney has testified twice before in legal proceedings involving Donald Trump —before Judge Juan Merchan in the 2022 Trump Organization tax fraud trial and in last fall’s civil fraud trial against Trump brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Former Biden Justice Department attorney Matthew Colangelo handled the questioning for the prosecution.
The early part of McConney’s testimony was focused on establishing his role and chain of command within the Trump Organization. The former controller told Colangelo that he oversaw the company’s accounting department and Deb Tarasoff, the accounts payable supervisor. Tarasoff would be the next prosecution witness brought before the court adjourned for the day.
WHO CUTS THE CHECKS?
Early on, the prosecution focused on check signing authority. According to McConney, prior to 2017 — when Trump was inaugurated as President — DonaldTrump had the signing authority. Once he became President, however, a trust account was formed with Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, and Allen Weisselberg having signing authority.
Much of the morning focused on Colangelo and McConney walking through accounting practices, tax applicability to employee reimbursements, and the general ledger for Donald Trump’s personal account. While this was not the most riveting testimony, much of the prosecution‘s case hinges on the contention that the former President directed Michael Cohen‘s actions and understood the nature of the payments made to Cohen from the personal account.
COLANGELO BORES THE COURT.
As the trial neared lunchtime, Colangelo finally began to focus on Michael Cohen — though McConney’s testimony was less than helpful to the prosecution’s case. When asked if he knew Cohen, McConney responded: “He said he was a lawyer.”
The prosecutor followed up, asking, “Did he work in the legal department?” McConney drew audible laughs from the courtroom with his response. “I guess so,” he said.
Next, Colangelo probed McConney on checks cut to Cohen, with the former controller saying that Allen Weisselberg had told him that they needed to get some money to the disgraced lawyer. “We added everything up, and came up with the amount we would have to pay him,” McConney said.
He testified that $35,000 was to be wired to Cohen monthly from DonaldTrump‘s account. After reviewing Cohen’s invoices and the payment process for over an hour, McConney testified that he could not recall any further payments after December 2017. The prosecution ended its questioning after entering into evidence the invoices and financial disclosures relating to the payments to Cohen that allegedly covered the money he sent to Keith Davidson.
COHEN ACTED AS A VENDOR.
Emil Bove again handled the cross-examination for Trump‘s defense team. He kicked off the cross, asking McConney how often he spoke with Trump. The former Trump Organization controller said it wasn’t often. The defense attorney moved on to Cohen‘s employment status, asking McConney if Cohen used a Trump Organization account. McConney responded that Cohen did not and instead used a personal Gmail account. McConney explained that this meant Cohen was acting, essentially, as an outside vendor and not a Trump employee.
When Bove asked if McConney knew the nature of Cohen’s legal work or if the disgraced attorney was doing any personal work for Trump in 2017, McConney said: “I do not know.” Following up, when asked about his conversation with Weisselberg, McConney testified that he didn’t know what Cohen was seeking reimbursement for.
TRUMP DIDN’T ORDER PAYMENTS.
Moving on, Bove began chipping away at the core of the prosecution‘s case. Bragg’s team has spent a great deal of time insinuating that the payments made to Cohen were somehow illegal. Bove asked McConney, “These payments were also disclosed to the IRS, correct?” The former controller responded, “Yes.”
Bove, presenting McConney with an IRS 1099 form, asked: “There’s no place on this form to break out payments for legal services versus expenses incurred right?” McConney again responded, “Yes.”
Shifting to Cohen, the defense attorney asked McConney, “And it’s Michael Cohen’s job to figure out how to account for these payments on his personal taxes correct?” McConney once again responded, “Yes.” When asked if he knew whether Cohen had included the payments in his tax filings, McConney replied that he did not know.
In the most important moment, Bove asked McConney: “President Trump did not ask you to do any of the things you described?”
“He did not,” the former controller replied.
STILL NO EVIDENCE.
A brief redirect by Colangelo may have further undermined the prosecution. McConney testified that he merely did as directed by Weisselberg. However, the former controller also said he was never privy to, nor knew of, any conversations between Weisselberg and Trump regarding payments to Cohen.
Despite the prosecution continuing to insinuate that Trump knew the nature of and directed the payments to Cohen, not a single witness that it has brought has been able to establish this assertion. In fact, several of the witnesses, so far, have actually undermined the claim — adding to the Trump defense team’s argument that he thought the payments were, in fact, for legal services and was unaware of Cohen’s agreement with Keith Davidson.
The next witness brought by the prosecution was Deb Tarasoff. Again, despite the prosecution’s efforts, Tarasoff said that Weisselberg was the man who called most of the shots and had the most contact with Cohen. The remainder of her testimony was a rehash of the invoice and check signing process heard in McConney’s morning testimony. After the prosecution finished and the defense engaged in a brief cross-examination, the court adjourned.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Matthew Colangelo, one of the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ)’s top attorneys, who forewent a white-shoe law firm career to instead work for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, received at least $12,000 by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for “consulting” services in 2018. The former Bidengovernment attorney delivered opening remarks in former President Donald J. Trump‘s Manhattan-based hush money trial and has handled a portion of the questioning during witness testimony.
The National Pulse reported last week that Colangelo has been linked to partisan lawfare campaigns against conservative political groups and Republican lawmakers as far back as 2011. House Republicans are currently investigating Colangelo over his past work and possible ongoing communications with the BidenJustice Department that could conflict with his prosecution of Trump.
Federal Election Commission (FEC) data indicates the DNC paid Colangelo in two $6,000 installments on January 31, 2018. The distributions were reported as fees for “Political Consulting.” At the time of the payments, Colangelo had yet to join the Justice Department and was serving as the deputy assistant attorney general for social justice under then-New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. Colangelo, interestingly, succeeded Alvin Bragg in the role with the New York AG‘s office when Bragg was promoted to chief deputy attorney general.
After Schneiderman was forced to resign as New York’s Attorney General following sexual assault allegations, Colangelo continued to serve under his successor, Barbara Underwood. It was with Underwood and her successor, Letitia James, that Colangelo began working on several investigations into then-President DonaldTrump. On the day JoeBiden was sworn in as President, Colangelo moved to the U.S. Department of Justice as acting associate attorney general.

Dozens of illegal aliens have gathered near the floor of the Michigan statehouse, chanting, “What do we want? Drivers’ licenses! When do we want them? Now!” Illegals could obtain driver’s licenses under guidance issued by former Democratic Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley from 1995 to 2008, but a Republican successor reversed this. Democrat lawmakers in the Great Lake State have been promising to give them licenses again for some time, but slow progress is causing impatience.
The National Pulse has recorded several illegal alien drivers who have killed people in its regular migrant crime round-ups. Kurt Englehart, an adviser to Democrat Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, was killed by an illegal alien driver in Nevada in April. Alex Wise, a 10-year-old Texan boy, was run down and killed by an illegal alien driver who had previously been deported six times in February.
Illegal aliens organizing to demand driver’s licenses, seemingly with no fear of detention and deportation, pose a risk to election integrity as well as public safety. Nonprofit Forge Organizing has boasted illegal or so-called “undocumented” migrants “tipped the scale of power in the 38th and 103rd districts” in Michigan, “providing Democrats with a slim, one-seat majority in the House, flipping the seats that flipped the legislature.”
While the nonprofit credited this to “electoral organizing,” there is evidence illegals participate directly in federal and state elections in the U.S., even when this is technically unlawful. They are three times more likely to vote Democrat when they do.
They also alter electoral politics indirectly by influencing redistricting.

The New York Times is using this year’s surfacing of a trillion cicadas to indoctrinate its readership into the joy of eating bugs. In an article entitled “A Trillion Cicadas, They’re What’s for Dinner,” the publication does its best to make eating insects seem appealing and inevitable.
The piece begins with a profile of chef Joseph Yoon, who owns a business called Brooklyn Bugs, and his menu. “For his ramp and cicada kimchi, he leaves the insects whole and intact in their crackling shells so they’re slowly permeated with a spicy fermenting juice, and serves it with a wobble of soft tofu and warm rice,” the Timeswrites, using descriptive language designed to evoke a meal that normal people might actually want to eat.
Although the Times concedes that “eating insects is often sensationalized, trivialized or framed as a source of cheap protein for an end-of-the-world scenario,” it is eager to remind us that “for about two billion people who regularly eat insects around the world, it’s one of our oldest and most ordinary foods.” Like seafood? Then you should love the bugs, says the Times.
“In fact, cicadas are so closely related to lobster that the Food and Drug Administration has issued reminders to avoid them if you have a shellfish allergy. ‘They’re both arthropods,’ said Tad Yankoski, an entomologist at the Missouri Botanical Garden. ‘But only one’s a luxury, why is that?'”
Critics have long contended that a key part of the so-called “Great Reset” planned by the international globalist elite is to force Westerners to abandon traditional food sources in favor of things like insects and artificial, lab-grown meat. Last year, Tyson Foods announced it was partnering with Dutch company Protix to build a new facility to produce bugs en masse for the American market.

The taxpayer-funded Voice of America (VOA) media outlet has removed a post that spread Biden governmentdisinformation against Representative Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) investigation into the status of U.S. troops stationed in Niger, The National Pulse can reveal.
On April 26, The National Pulse was also first to report on a letter Rep. Gaetz sent to VOA’s acting director, John Lippman, demanding they remove a post that insinuated the Florida Republican’s Niger report was Russian disinformation.
“Our Polygraph.info post concerned the article from BreakThrough News in which you were quoted and not your quote itself. That is why our reporter did not call your office,” acting director Lippman wrote in a letter responding to Gaetz. Despite initially trying to cover for his taxpayer-funded organization’s mistake, Lippman conceded: “In hindsight, we should have. We did not intend the story to be accusatory of you and apologize if you felt that it was.”
“We have removed the post from our website and will be taking corrective action so that our writing is more specific when calling into question the content of published reports,” the VOA acting director continued. He concluded: “We don’t want people who may be quoted in the original articles to be inadvertently tarred with the same brush.”
The post is now simply a blank page that reads, “The story at this URL is undergoing further editing.
While the concession from VOA marks a win for rolling back government agencies and publicly-funded programs that spread Biden regime propaganda, it does fall short of addressing some of Rep. Gaetz‘s specific objections. Lippman does not acknowledge the fact that VOA made claims stating the State Department and Pentagon have been engaged in “continuing talks” with the Niger government, something the Congressman’s investigation found to be false.
Additionally, the letter did not address his outlet’s false denial of poor equipment conditions and lack of troop rotations for American soldiers stationed in the African country.

Former Fulton County, Georgia, special prosecution Nathan Wade spoke publicly for the first time about his relationship with District Attorney Fani Willis in a television interview on Sunday. “Workplace romances are as American as apple pie,” he said, defining his romantic affair with Willis, which forced his resignation from her prosecution of former President Donald J. Trump and over a dozen others over allegations they interfered in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.
“I regret that that private matter became the focal point of this very important prosecution,” Wade said in the interview with ABC News’s Linsey Davis. He added: “This is a very important case. I hate that my personal life has begun to overshadow the true issues in the case.”
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled in March that because of their workplace romance — and concerns of impropriety — either Willis or Wade would have to resign from the state RICO prosecution against Trump and others. Within hours of the decision, Wade submitted his resignation.
In the interview on Sunday, Wade admitted he should have considered breaking off the relationship, or at least putting it on pause because of the ethical problems it raised.
“I’ll concede that that could have been an approach,” Wade said, before defending his decision not to end or pause his romance with Willis. “But there again, when you are in the middle of it, these feelings are developing, and you get to a point where the feelings are, are so strong that, you know, you start to want to do things that really are none of the public’s concern.”
Both Willis and Wade face ongoing ethics complaints as well as additional state investigations into the nature of their relationship and whether it resulted in the abuse of public funds and other state resources.

Britain’s Home Office has managed to remove just 155 of the 29,437 illegal arrivals from last year, according to figures brought to light by the Freedom of Information Act. The UK currently has a “conservative” government, though the governing Conservative Party has governed to the center-left for the past 14 years.
Operation Vector, devised to tackle the escalating migration crisis, kicked off last week with dawn sweeps apprehending asylum seekers for transfer to immigration removal centers pending deportation to Africa. Nevertheless, Home Office legal teams are girding for anticipated legal appeals, with an internal forecast predicting up to 75 percent of migrants could be successful in judicial reviews halting their expulsion.
Last Wednesday saw a single-day record for this year, with 711 migrants crossing the Channel. Critics of the government’s handling of the situation, such as Alp Mehmet, chair of Migration Watch, labeled the 2023 removal numbers as ‘disgraceful’ and urged for stronger deterrent measures.
The Home Office emphasized its commitment to routine deportations, noting that it had removed 26,000 individuals with no legal right to remain in the UK and planning to launch Rwanda-bound flights within nine to eleven weeks.
