Farrakhan Fangirl Welcomed Back At White House Despite Supposed Ban.

Visitor logs reveal Cora Masters Barry, a Washington, D.C., city official, has visited the White House on at least two occasions after the Biden government claimed she had been banned for praising anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. In mid-2022, Barry—who serves as the CEO of the city’s Recreation Wish List Committee—lauded Farrakhan, calling him a “friend,” and “member of the family,” adding, “I love you more than words will ever say.”

In response to the remarks, Joe Biden‘s deputy press secretary, Andrew Bates, said the capital city official would no longer be welcomed back at the White House. “The president has unequivocally condemned Louis Farrakhan and the hate he represents for decades and co-sponsored bipartisan legislation doing so,” Bates told Fox News in October of 2022. He added: “He also denounces any praise of Louis Farrakhan or his repugnant, antisemitic values, including in this case.”

TWO VISITS DESPITE BAN.

Despite the ban, the official visitor logs—which document individuals who attend official meetings and events at the White House—indicate Cora Masters Barry was welcomed back to the White House on at least two occasions, in June and December 2023. In June 2023, Barry attended a Juneteenth event on the White House lawn, which featured remarks from both Biden and Kamala Harris. The December 2023 event appears to be an evening reception attended by one hundred or more other individuals.

Cora Masters Barry is the widow of Marion Barry, who served as the mayor of Washington, D.C., from 1979 to 1991 and again from 1995 to 1999. In an infamous incident in 1990, Barry was arrested during an FBI sting after being caught on a hidden camera smoking crack cocaine with a prostitute. In the video of his arrest, Barry could be heard repeatedly muttering, “Bitch set me up.”

WHITE HOUSE’S FARRAKHAN PROBLEM.

This isn’t the first Farrakhan-connected individual to have been a frequent guest at the White House or to have influence in the Biden government. The National Pulse reported in late March that a Washington, D.C. environmentalist nonprofit, whose staff has ties to Farrakhan, has made numerous White House visits. In addition, the group’s CEO, Lennox Yearwood, has received public praise from Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Biden ‘Blesses’ Abortion, Openly Bashes Bible: ‘What the Hell Is In It?’

President Joe Biden appeared to bless abortions with the sign of the Cross, as well as mock the Bible in Florida on Tuesday. Christians expressed outrage after the incidents and questioned Biden’s claimed Catholic faith.

While Biden was being introduced to campaign volunteers in Tampa, Florida Democratic Party chairwoman Nikki Fried began discussing state abortion policy. Biden crossed himself ostentatiously during the remarks.

“His gesture openly mocks the Christian belief in the sanctity of life. There is no divine support for destroying the lives of innocent children, and he should know better,” said Brian Burch, President of CatholicVote, of the incident.

At a ‘Restore Roe’ rally the same day, the Democrat also mocked Lee Greenwood’s Trump-endorsed ‘God Bless the USA’ series of Bibles.

“[Trump] said there has to be punishment for women exercising their reproductive freedom… maybe it’s coming from that Bible he’s trying to sell. I almost wanted to buy one just to see what the hell is in it,” Biden jeered.

The ‘God Bless the USA’ Bibles include the King James Version of the Bible and the text of the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus to Greenwood’s ‘God Bless The USA.’

Election Integrity

Democrat Governors Are Enabling Election Fraudsters.

Despite widespread allegations, investigations, and convictions related to electoral fraud, Democratic governors in Arizona, North Carolina, and Wisconsin have recently vetoed election integrity measures passed by Republican-majority state legislatures. These governors argue that the proposed bills, crafted to address proven concerns, are unnecessary.

Arizona‘s Gov. Katie Hobbs (D), for example, vetoed legislation to prevent offenders found guilty of ballot abuse from holding public offices. This came after San Luis’ former City Councilwoman’s conviction for the same offense. The legislation also sought to curb county recorders from issuing voter registration cards to most out-of-state residents.

Earlier this year, the Public Interest Legal Foundation reported that over 400 non-citizens had been removed from voter rolls in two Arizona counties since 2015, suggesting a high number of non-citizen voters.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) vetoed two bills designed to tighten restrictions for casting and collecting nursing home residents’ absentee ballots. These bills were introduced due to a surge in nursing home voting during the COVID-19 pandemic. A report by retired state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman highlighted exceedingly high voter turnout rates in several nursing homes in Wisconsin counties, far surpassing national averages.

North Carolina Democratic Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of the GOP-initiated Senate Bill 747, preventing the use of private funds in election administration, was overridden by the state’s Republican-led legislature.

These recent actions by Democratic governors raise questions over their dedication to ensuring election integrity. Critics argue their actions may, in fact, be intended to help facilitate voter fraud.

Illegals Sent By DeSantis to Martha’s Vineyard Received ‘Victim Visas’ (Apparently That’s a Thing).

A group of illegal immigrants flown to Martha’s Vinyard by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has received a special visa — and accompanying work permit —reserved for those who have been the victims of a crime. The illegals received a U-visa, which opens a pathway to potential permanent legal status.

Rachel Self, an attorney representing the illegals, says DeSantis duped her clients into boarding chartered flights from Texas. She claims they boarded the planes under the pretense they would receive jobs upon arrival in Massachusetts. Sheriff Javier Salazar from Bexar County, Texas, backed the visa push by Self and her clients. A Democrat, Salazar launched a criminal probe into the flights in late 2022. The sheriff alleges the illegal aliens were “exploited and hoodwinked into making this trip.”

At the time, DeSantis pushed back against Salazar’s accusations that the illegal immigrants were exploited. The Florida Governor’s office insisted the illegals voluntarily agreed to take the flights.

The United States Congress only permits the federal government to issue 10,000 U-visas annually. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the visas are ostensibly granted to the “victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are helpful to law enforcement or government officials in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity.”

No charges have ever been announced through the Bexar County investigation. However, the illegals were granted permission by a federal judge in Boston to bring a lawsuit against Florida-based company Vertol Systems Co., which managed the flights.

Biden Mulls Work Permits For Illegals in Bizarre Hispanic Outreach Effort.

Joe Biden is considering granting an executive action that would grant temporary legal status and work permits to illegal aliens in the United States, particularly those married to American citizens. National Democrat leaders, pushing the White House to action, believe the move could help push Hispanic voters to support Biden ahead of November’s presidential election.

Progressive lawmakers on Capitol Hill want Biden to pair the expanded work permits and legal status with any potential executive action to stymie the unchecked flow of illegals at the southern border. They contend that combining the two policy changes could help soften blowback from progressive and pro-open border voters should the Biden government try and enact more restrictive border policies.

Lagging behind former President Donald Trump in 2024 election polls, Biden has signaled — and subsequently backed down — on several occasions that he may use his authority as President to block illegal aliens from entering the United States if the number of crossings reaches a certain threshold. Some Democrats and progressive activists have criticized the Democratic incumbent for even considering the border policy change.

While some Democrats believe granting temporary legal status and work permits to the illegal alien spouses of U.S. citizens will help Biden with Hispanic voters, polling data continues to suggest otherwise. The National Pulse has reported on numerous national polls that show Hispanic voters, by and large, oppose Biden’s current open borders policy.

Additionally, Hispanic voters increasingly say they support the use of the term “illegal immigrant” to describe unauthorized border crossers. Support for mass deportation of illegal aliens — especially those who commit crimes — is also on the rise with Hispanic voters.

WATCH: Trump’s Plan to Retake Colleges From ‘Marxist Maniacs & Lunatics.’

Donald Trump has unveiled a series of policies aimed at driving “the radical left” out of America’s “once great educational institutions,” revealing that his “secret weapon will be the college accreditation system.”

Noting that the cost of tuition has been “absolutely exploding” while academics have wasted funds on “indoctrinating America’s youth,” Trump said higher education accreditors “are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers, but they have failed totally.”

WATCH:

“When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics,” he vowed.

New accreditors will “impose real standards,” including “defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions… [and] removing all Marxist Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion bureaucrats,” he said.

On Tuesday it was revealed that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s key surrogates are now jockeying for positions in the Trump administration, including Education Secretary.

UK Pledges Additional $620 Million for Ukraine.

The United Kingdom pledged an additional $620 million in military aid for Ukraine on Tuesday, including over four million rounds of ammunition and long-range missiles. The aid follows the passage of a $61 billion package for Ukraine in the U.S. House of Representatives and comes as Russia is stepping up its advances on Ukraine’s eastern front following significant battlefield victories earlier this year.

The office of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Tuesday morning to confirm the aid, before traveling to Warsaw to discuss even more aid with Poland’s globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Sunak assured the “U.K.’s steadfast support” for what his office described as “Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s brutal and expansionist ambitions.”

The $620 million aid package includes 400 vehicles, 60 boats, 1,600 munitions, and four million rounds of ammunition. The UK will also send Storm Shadow long-range missiles as part of the shipment.

Even with further aid from the UK and the U.S., a Ukrainian victory in its war with Russia is far from guaranteed. U.S. Senator J.D. Vance pointed out that Ukraine needs more munitions and soldiers than it could possibly field to defeat Russia. Regional experts have said the “writing is on the wall” for Ukraine, and even NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg predicted Ukraine might have to “compromise” with Russia in order to achieve piece.

Newsmax Doctors Interview With U.S. Senator to Exclude Ukraine Criticism.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) says the right-leaning news network Newsmax cut an entire segment of his interview with them yesterday evening. The Utah Republican claims the unaired segment of his interview focused on his criticism of the Ukraine foreign aid supplemental funding bill.

“Newsmax cut an entire segment of my interview last night,” Sen. Lee posted on X (formerly Twitter) late this afternoon. The conservative lawmaker continued: “No mention of Ukraine—even though part of the interview focused specifically on the supplemental.”

“I’ve never had this happen with any news network, not like this,” he added.

Sen. Lee specifically called out Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy over the cut segment, with the Senator asking him “what happened?”

The Utah Senator has been a strong critic of sending additional military and foreign aid to Ukraine, especially as its defense against Russia’s invasions appears to be faltering. On Saturday, a coalition of Democrats and Republicans in the House passed a series of supplemental funding bills that provide for tens of billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The legislation also includes a provision that would force the Chinese-owned company ByteDance to divest itself from TikTok.

A spokesman for Lee also told The National Pulse: “On Tuesday, Senator Lee appeared on ‘Eric Bolling The Balance’ on Newsmax to discuss various political issues of the day. For some reason, Newsmax aired everything but Senator Lee’s condemnation of the disastrous foreign aid bill that abandons America’s borders while throwing 60 billion dollars into the Ukraine proxy war. It is unclear who at Newsmax made the decision, but we know that it was not Mr. Bolling.”

The National Pulse previously reported that Newsmax received a $50 million investment from the Qatari royal family.

Trump Trial Day 2 Summary: Pecker Pokes Holes In Prosecution’s Case.

Day two of the Manhattan-based hush money trial of former President Donald Trump saw abbreviated testimony from the former National Enquirer CEO, David Pecker. The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief, Raheem Kassam, noted on X (formerly Twitter) that the tabloid newsman’s recounting of events did not go well for District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution. After briefly taking the stand on Monday — before the court adjourned around 12:30 PM ET — Pecker continued his testimony on Tuesday, delving into the substantive nature of the accusations leveled by Bragg’s office.

PECKER SCHEMED WITH COHEN ALONE. 

While Bragg and his prosecution team have insisted that Michael Cohen‘s payments to smut star Stormy Daniels were at the direction of former President Donald Trump, David Pecker directly undermined this aspect of the case. Pecker testified that he was the one who told Trump that women might come forward with false accusations of affairs since the former President had been a sought-after bachelor connected with multiple beautiful women.

According to Pecker, it was he and Cohen who planned the strategy of paying off accusers and having them sign non-disclosure agreements. The newsman insinuated that Trump himself was unaware of their scheme. Pecker’s testimony appears to represent a significant blow to Bragg’s prosecution, which is largely contingent on Trump having directed the payment scheme.

DID TRUMP VIOLATE THE GAG ORDER?

The only other significant courtroom action happened before Pecker’s testimony. Prosecutors and attorneys for the former President argued before Judge Juan Merchan as to whether Trump had violated a court-issued gag order. Bragg’s team told the judge that Trump had “willfully,” “flagrantly,” and “repeatedly” violated the order with both social media posts and comments made to the press outside the Manhattan courthouse. Todd Blanche, the lead attorney for Trump, fired back that the former President is “allowed to respond to political attacks.”

Democrat-aligned Judge Juan Merchan appeared frustrated with Blanche’s line of defense and repeatedly asked him to point to specific posts or comments by Michael Cohen or Stormy Daniels that constituted “political attacks.” Blanche offered a few examples and insisted that Trump has complied with Merchan’s gag order, which caused Merchan to become irate.

“You’re losing all credibility, I have to tell you right now,” the judge told Blanche, adding angrily:  “You’re losing all credibility with the court.” Despite his outburst, Merchant said he would not rule today on whether former President Trump had willfully violated the gag order.

The New and Cringe ‘NeverTrump’ Ad May Actually Break Employment Law.

The NeverTrump group Republican Voters Against Trump is set to release a new ad that will air on Fox News in several swing states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. It features an unidentified man asking various employees at an unknown mall location about being hired. The man will then off-handedly mention that he’s either facing 88 felony charges, that he’s been found liable for sexual assault, or that he’s been charged with falsifying business records. Each one of the store employees demurs or outright tells him he won’t be hired.

Republican Voters Against Trump’s intended message is that the charges — with no convictions at this point — against former President Donald Trump are disqualifying. However, the ad’s premise is flawed, based on the use of charges brought by the Biden government’s lawfare campaign against the former President.

On the whole, the four separate prosecutions that comprise the charges have repeatedly been labeled by legal experts as dubious. The NeverTrump group appears to believe voters can be fooled by oversimplifying the legal persecution brought by Biden and his Democrat political allies.

In all likelihood, the whole ad is staged, and the reported mall store employees are simply actors — despite the ad using a black bar to hide their faces, giving the impression that it is an undercover video. Otherwise, Republican Voters Against Trump may have unintentionally exposed several businesses engaging in employment discrimination.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) states that while employers can consider criminal convictions in hiring, the denial of hiring based solely on an arrest and not a conviction is discrimination. If these are real people, each of whom responded negatively to the 88 charges line, they likely violated EEOC rules.
