Lindsey Graham Visits Kiev, Discusses Young Men.

During his visit to Ukraine, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) urged Ukrainian officials on Monday to rapidly adopt a bill that would increase the pool of eligible military draftees in the nation, suggesting there should be no exemptions for men under the age of 27.

“I would hope that those eligible to serve in the Ukrainian military would join. I can’t believe it’s at 27,” Graham told reporters. “You’re in a fight for your life, so you should be serving — not at 25 or 27,” he said, adding: “We need more people in the line,” he said.

During his first journey to Kiev following a sudden rebuff of a $60 billion aid package last month, Senator Graham said he was “more optimistic than I’ve ever been that something will get out of the House pretty soon.” The Senator’s visit to Ukraine also involved a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Ukraine is grappling with diminishing soldiers and ammunition as Russia capitalizes on significant battlefield victories. Ukraine’s discussions on a new mobilization law to decrease the draft age to 25 underline its lack of enough trained troops ready for combat.

Senator Graham has been a staunch advocate for further aid for Ukraine, visiting the country multiple times since 2022. Nevertheless, he surprisingly opposed an aid package last month, aligning with Donald Trump’s stance on negotiating aid as loan packages rather than outright grants.

During his meeting with President Zelensky, he stated that it was fair to expect Ukraine and other allies to repay the U.S. in the future, illustrating his belief that the loan idea would garner success not only among Republicans but Democrats as well.

Despite aid disagreements, Senator Graham assured the Ukrainian troops that the U.S. would supply more 155mm artillery shells, which they currently lack. He also expressed disappointment in the delay of U.S.-provided long-range missiles known as ATACMS, asserting their crucial need on the battleground.

REVEALED: Epstein Island’s Reid Hoffman, Megadonor to E. Jean Carroll, Nikki Haley Funds MeidasTouch Group Behind ‘Bloodbath’ Hoax.

LinkedIn billionaire and Epstein island visitor Reid Hoffman, a megadonor to the Democrats, Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley, E. Jean Carroll, and the legal defense of Russia hoaxers FusionGPS, has also donated in large sums to the MeidasTouch Network. Founded by the three Meiselas brothers — Ben, Brett, and Jordy — the far-left media organization helped popularize the “bloodbath hoax” against Donald Trump over recent days.

MeidasTouch intentionally omitted that Trump was referring to an economic bloodbath for the auto industry in his speech in Ohio on Saturday. Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, alongside the corporate media, took up the theme, alleging the former president was threatening “political violence.”

The group has the support of many high-profile celebrities and political figures. The brothers Meisalas have employed a team of hardline ‘Never Trump’ activists to masquerade as journalists for their website, which began its life as a Democratic PAC.

Now, The National Pulse can reveal that one of the men who helped them get it off the ground was none other than Epstein-linked billionaire Hoffman, who also bankrolled the E. Jean Carroll case against Donald Trump, and threw cash at Nikki Haley prior to the abortion of her failed political campaign.

Hoffman has now been outed for visiting Epstein’s island in 2014 – long after Epstein’s conviction for procuring a girl below age 18 for prostitution – and even arranged to stay at the Manhattan townhouse where the financier abused many of his victims.

Hoffman admitted to The Wall Street Journal that “by lending my association, I helped [Epstein’s] reputation, and thus delayed justice for his survivors.” He claimed his last interaction with the convicted sex offender was in 2015.

Hoffman also “contributed more than $600,000 to the legal defense fund of Bean LLC — otherwise known as Fusion GPS, the company responsible for the creation of the Steele Dossier,” which spread various false accusations of links between Trump and Russia.

SCOTUS Blocks Texas From Securing the Border.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito extended an order Monday blocking Texas officials from executing a new state immigration law authorized by Governor Greg Abbott. The state-sanctioned SB4 considers illegal immigration a state-level crime in addition to being a federal offense. This law equips state and local law enforcement to prosecute illegal immigrants charged with unlawful entry. It also empowers Texas judges to order forced returns to Mexico as an alternative to prolonging their prosecution.

The Biden government has argued that SB4 is unconstitutional. Following its request last month, a federal judge halted the law on the grounds that it contradicted federal immigration laws. The 5th Circuit Court suppressed that ruling until Alito postponed enforcement for administrative reasons.

Alito’s stay preserves the status quo until the court deliberates on the Justice Department’s request for emergency relief. The litigation concerning SB4’s legality continues in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.

Texas officials, led by Abbott, argue that the federal government’s efforts to control illegal immigration are inadequate, necessitating the state’s intervention. For three years, Texas has mounted actions to contest the federal government’s supremacy over immigration policy. Moves include transporting illegal immigrants to Democrat-controlled’ sanctuary cities’ and installing deterrents along border regions.

On the other hand, the Justice Department maintains that SB4 violates federal law and the Constitution, as immigration enforcement has traditionally been a federal duty. They also argue that the legislation impairs relations with Mexico, whose government has dubbed SB4 “anti-immigrant” and pledged to refuse illegal immigrants returned by Texas.

Elon Musk Reveals 2 Assassination Plots Against Him.

In a recent X (formerly Twitter) Space, Elon Musk — the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX — disclosed that he was the target of two attempted assassinations over the past six months. Musk shared this information during a conversation with Dr. Gad Saad, a professor of marketing at the John Molson School of Business at Montreal’s Concordia University.

Musk stated that the experience of being widely recognized had its challenges. While admitting that people tend to be considerably pleasant, he noted that his public outings frequently lead to crowds eager for selfies. “I can’t easily go to the mall or a movie theater or walk around without creating a ruckus,’” Musk told Saad.

The tech billionaire said he does have private security and takes extensive measures to protect himself and his family while in public, adding it is actually rare for him to get death threats. However, there were two recent instances of mentally ill individuals targeting him and his family. “I have had two cases in the last six months where two people, unfortunately very mentally ill, came to try to kill me in Austin with guns,” Musk said in the X (formerly Twitter) Space.

After taking over the social media platform in 2022, Musk posted a video of an individual he described as a “crazy stalker” who was following a vehicle carrying his son, X Æ A-Xii. Musk, one of the wealthiest men in the world, moved to quickly restrict X accounts — especially automated bots — who shared real-time travel and flight data for himself and other public figures.

Trump Can’t Post $454M Bond for Civil Fraud Judgment.

Former President Donald Trump‘s legal team informed a New York appellate court on Monday that it is unable to post a bond covering the full sum of his $454 million civil fraud judgment for the duration of his appeal process. This comes as a result of a ruling last month by a state appeals court judge, which mandates the post of a full-sum bond to defer enforcement of the judgment, beginning March 25.

“Defendants have faced what have proven to be insurmountable difficulties in obtaining an appeal bond for the full $464 million,” Trump Organization general counsel Alan Garten wrote in court papers filed Monday. Trump’s defense has already engaged with 30 surety companies via four different brokers in an attempt to obtain the bond.

With accrued interest, Trump’s outstanding sum would be approximately $456.8 million. The total sum owed by Trump and his co-defendants is $467.3 million. According to Trump’s counsel, collateral valued at $557 million would likely be required to acquire the needed bond.

The civil fraud judgment levied against the former president was the result of a ruling by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron. He determined that Trump had excessively inflated his net worth to secure more advantageous loan terms. Trump was subsequently fined $354.8 million, followed by roughly $100 million in pre-judgment interest. New York AG Letitia James brought the case against Trump.

Despite the hefty fine, Trump confirmed his intention to contest the ruling. However, he is obligated to first pay the fine as a bond to New York State.

DATA: Americans Doubt Biden’s ‘Devout Catholicism.’

Recent data from a Pew Research poll indicates that a significant proportion of Americans are skeptical about President Biden’s self-professed devout Catholicism. The survey, conducted in late February, revealed that a mere 13 percent of Americans view Biden as very religious. On the other hand, 41 percent believe he is somewhat religious. Notably, 44 percent think he lacks substantial religious conviction.

This data emerges amidst Biden’s self-declared devout Catholic campaign narrative, underscored by regular church attendance and even echoed in White House descriptions of the president, particularly when justifying his strong pro-choice position on abortion.

President Biden’s faith and views on abortion have sparked controversy with the Catholic Church and drawn criticism from Pope Francis last July, who described them as ‘incoherent.’ Despite the critique, the pair met later that year when, according to Biden, he received Pope Francis’ encouragement to continue receiving communion.

The friction between President Biden’s faith and his abortion stance has been seized upon by Former President Trump, remarking that voting for Biden would be ‘crazy’ for Catholics. Interestingly, according to the Pew Research poll, only 4 percent of Americans viewed Trump as very religious, whereas 68 percent identified him as not particularly religious.

REPORT: Google Interfered in 41 U.S. Elections Since 2008, Swinging 2.5 MILLION Votes.

Google ‘interfered’ 41 times during the last four election cycles to help Democrats, a report by the Media Research Center (MRC) reveals. The Big Tech behemoth “utilized its power to help push to electoral victory the most liberal candidates… while targeting their opponents for censorship,” the report asserts.

Google demonstrated blatant bias in favor of Democratic candidates in the past four presidential elections, directing its influence to favor the most liberal contenders, according to the report. The report alleges that Google also targeted its opponents for censorship.

In 2008, Google showed support for then-Sen. Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton by suppressing pro-Clinton search results, while in 2012, Google allegedly favored Obama over Mitt Romney.

The MRC report quoted Dr. Robert Epstein, who suggested that Google may have “shifted at least 2.5 million votes” to Clinton in her run against Trump through their search algorithms.

The report also claimed that in 2020, Google disabled Tulsi Gabbard’s Ads account “just as she became the most searched candidate following the first Democratic Party primary debate” and suppressed news sources critical of Joe Biden. Moreover, it criticized Google for alleged left-leaning bias impacting the 2022 Georgia Senate race between Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker, during which it “favored [the] incumbent” Warnock “in the swing precinct where greater proportions of undecided voters likely reside.”

Google denies the allegations, however, the tech giant has repeatedly faced criticism for favoring one political side. On Monday, it was reported that Google and Apple were blocking access to right-wing activist Tommy Robinson’s Telegram channel.

Feds Charge MAGA Influencer Isabella DeLuca for TOUCHING A TABLE on Jan 6.

MAGA-world activist and influencer Isabella DeLuca was arrested on Friday in California. Court records unsealed on Monday revealed that she faces five charges for her involvement with the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol, including touching a table, as well as “demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.” The case reveals how thin the federal government’s case against protesters has become, with other charges including “disorderly conduct” and “remaining in restricted buildings.”

According to the FBI, DeLuca touched a table as it was being passed from office within the Capitol to rioters outside through a shattered window. The bureau alleges the table was later used to assault law enforcement officers.

The government provided the following evidence:

DeLuca has accumulated a significant social media following, as well as having served as an ambassador for Turning Point USA and as an intern for Congressmen Lee Zeldin of New York and Paul Gosar of Arizona.

Timothy Desjardins, another defendant who allegedly used a piece of the table to assault officers, was previously sentenced to 18 years on separate charges.

Haitian Invasion: Boat With Guns, Drugs, and Night Vision Intercepted Off Florida Coast.

A Haitian migrant vessel containing guns, drugs, and night vision gear was intercepted off the coast of Florida last week. Twenty-five Haitian illegal aliens were also on board.

“Our Florida Fish and Wildlife offices interdicted a vessel that had 25 illegal immigrants, potential illegal immigrants from Haiti in their boat. In their vessel they had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear, and were boating very recklessly, which would potentially endanger other folks,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced last week.

“That vessel was interdicted near the Sebastian Inlet and those illegal aliens were turned over to the Coast Guard for deportation,” he added.

The revelation comes after DeSantis deployed additional law enforcement officers and National Guard troops to South Florida to protect the state from an impending surge of Haitian illegals. Last week, the Department of Defense was warned that the escalating crisis in Haiti could result in a “maritime mass migration” and said it was “alert to that possibility.”

The situation in Haiti is deteriorating rapidly as gang violence continues to plague the nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince. A transitional council is expected to take power soon following the announced resignation of the country’s prime minister, Ariel Henry. Currently, the most powerful man in the country is Jimmy Chérizier, the leader of a cannibal gang who goes by the name ‘Barbecue.’

Putin Warns of ‘Full-Scale Third World War’ After Election Win.

Following an expected victory in the Russian elections, President Vladimir Putin has warned a “full-scale” world war may be on the horizon, blaming Western governments who “want to intimidate us.”

“I think that everything is possible in the modern world,” he said when quizzed on the possibility of open conflict between the Russian Federation and the West following an election contest in which he won over 87 percent of the vote.

“But I have already said, and it is clear to everyone, that it will be one step away from a full-scale Third World War,” he added, lamenting that, in his view, “hardly anyone is interested in this.”

Western governments have argued the Russian elections were a sham, with opposition figures like the now-deceased Alexei Navalny unable to participate. Western news outlets who typically report negatively on Russia, such as The New York Times, have acknowledged Putin’s support does appear to be “real,” however, citing independent Levada Center polling putting his approval rating at 86 percent.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has suspended elections altogether and banned the country’s second-largest party for alleged Russian sympathies.

In February, Putin also warned that Western interference in Ukraine could spark a nuclear war.
