U.S. Sends Marine Anti-Terrorism Unit to Haiti to Protect Embassy.

The U.S. has deployed a Marine anti-terrorism unit to Haiti to protect the American embassy there as gang violence continues to plague the nation’s capital.

In a statement released early Wednesday, U.S. Southern Command said it deployed a “U.S. Marine Fleet-Anti-terrorism Security Team (FAST) to maintain strong security capabilities at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and conduct relief in place for our current Marines, a common and routine practice worldwide.”

“The U.S. Embassy remains open, and limited operations continue, focused on assistance to U.S. citizens and supporting Haitian-led efforts to secure a peaceful transition of power,” it added.

American military forces were previously deployed to Haiti over the weekend to shore up security at the U.S. Embassy and assist in evacuating non-essential personnel.

Haiti has been in a state of anarchy, with violent gangs rampaging throughout Port-au-Prince, since Prime Minister Ariel Henry left the country in February. Reports indicate the nation is now effectively under the control of gang leader Jimmy Chérizier.

Dem Resolution Declares Racism ‘Public Health Crisis.’

Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has introduced a resolution designating racism as a “public health crisis.” The resolution, alleging health disparities and inequities across varying societal sectors, cites “microaggressions” and “police violence,” among other progressive obsessions.

Brown’s resolution notes that “Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are 2.5-times more likely to die from diabetes than non-Hispanic White women,” and “Black, Hispanic or Latino, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Native American communities experienced disproportionately high rates of COVID–19 infection” – but does not explain how racism causes these maladies.

It also asserts, without supporting evidence, that “inequities in health outcomes are exacerbated for people of color who are LGBTQIA+,” and blasts the United States as a country with “a longstanding history and legacy of racism, mistreatment, and discrimination that has perpetuated health inequities for members of racial and ethnic minority groups.”

Brown — who recently hired a black man to say the ‘n-word’ for his latest audiobook — also suggests black people are regularly “confronted and threatened by armed citizens while performing everyday tasks, such as jogging in neighborhoods, driving, or playing in a park,” and that these encounters can cause “severe physical or psychological harm” even when they are not “fatal.”

Polls show Donald Trump is currently leading Joe Biden by nine points in Brown’s state.

Elon Musk Cancels Don Lemon X Deal After Interview.

Former CNN host and alleged sex pest Don Lemon revealed a planned collaboration with X (formerly Twitter) was canceled following an interview with platform owner Elon Musk.

Lemon interviewed Musk for the inaugural episode of his new online show, which had been slated to partner with X. Now, however, Lemon says the partnership will not go ahead, suggesting the entrepreneur did not enjoy his questions and had changed his mind about “working directly with new and diverse voices.”

Musk has put out his own statement, insisting “X is a platform that champions free speech” and that Lemon remains “welcome to publish its content on X, without censorship” — but “like any enterprise, we reserve the right to make decisions about our business partnerships, and after careful consideration, X decided not to enter into a commercial partnership with the show.”

Pressed on the reasons by a Mark Zuckerberg parody account, Musk said, “[Lemon’s] approach was basically just ‘CNN, but on social media’, which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying.”

He added that he was not speaking to “the real Don Lemon” but to “Jeff Zucker talking through Don, [which] lacked authenticity.”

Lemon says his Musk interview will still air on YouTube, podcast sites, and X.

Ex-Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley Cashing In After Military Career.

Former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley has successfully cashed in since leaving his government job. According to reports, his income, propelled by speaking engagements and advisory positions, has well-surpassed his military earnings of $204,000 annually.

JPMorgan Chase has retained the former US military leader as a senior adviser — most likely to advocate for the company’s interests on Pentagon-related matters. Milley has also received roles at both Princeton and Georgetown Universities as a guest lecturer and resident fellow.

Milley has also jumped on the lucrative public speaking circuit. After leaving the Pentagon, the former Joint Chiefs chairman joined the Harry Walker speaker’s agency. According to the group, Milley provides audiences with his perspectives on global affairs and a deep understanding of today’s geopolitical issues. The speaker agency claims that he offers “[m]ore than a lesson in history or current events, General Milley helps audiences understand the significance of this moment in time as a potential turning point in history.”

While the specific earnings from Milley’s speaking engagements have been kept under wraps, it is notable that former government officials, including ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have been paid significantly well for similar speaking services. The National Pulse previously reported that another former government official, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has cashed in with his retirement. His pension and other retirement benefits exceed $350,000 annually.

Trump’s $92M Bond Approved in Carroll Defamation Case, Clearing Way For Appeal.

Judge Lewis A. Kaplan approved former President Trump’s $92 million bond in the second E. Jean Carroll defamation case. In January, a New York jury found the former President guilty of defaming Carroll. He was subsequently ordered to pay an $83 million civil judgment.

Last week, Trump moved to appeal the ruling and submitted the $92 million bond as required under New York law. The bond will now serve as security, ensuring Trump will fulfill the payment obligations if his appeal fails. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan will hear the appeal.

The disparity between Trump’s $92 million bond and Carroll’s awarded damages stems from the requirement for an appeal bond to equal 110% of the judgment value. The bond money was garnered from The Federal Insurance Company based in Chesapeake, Virginia.

The former President’s legal defense iterated that his statements about Carroll were formulated to preserve his reputation, protect his family, and uphold his Presidency. Trump has continued to deny the sexual assault allegations made by Carroll.

In a separate proceeding last year, a federal jury in New York ruled Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, though not for rape, leading to a $5 million payment imposed on Trump.

Support for Same-Sex Marriage Dips for First Time in Nearly a Decade.

American public support for same-sex marriage fell for the first time since 2015, according to a recent survey from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI).

The latest PRRI American Values Atlas (AVA) survey found that support for same-sex marriage fell from 69 percent to 67 percent between 2022 and 2023. The last time the PRRI’s AVA measured a drop in support for same-sex marriage was between 2014 and 2015, when it fell to 53 percent from 54 percent.

PRRI CEO Melissa Deckman attributed the drop in support to America’s ongoing “culture wars.”

“Our survey shows that support for LGBTQ rights has dipped slightly from 2022 to 2023 Deckman said in a statement released Tuesday. “The growing partisan divide on these issues show the effect of the continuous use of LGBTQ identity and LGBTQ rights as a wedge issue in our nation’s culture wars,” Deckman continued.

The drop in support is likely the result of ongoing far-left efforts to push transgender ideology on the public, especially children, despite the dangers and risks involved. Several states have sought to ban the promotion of so-called ‘pride,’ and a majority of Americans do not believe children should be able to undergo sex change surgery. Brands that have used transgender individuals as ambassadors have faced significant backlash, including Doritos, which recently attempted to hire a transgender pedophile.

Georgia Judge DISMISSES Multiple Charges Against Trump, Including Central ‘Find the Votes’ Allegation.

Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee partially dismissed the charges against Donald Trump brought by embattled Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis, including the central claim he pressured the Secretary of State to “find” votes for him.

McAfee dismissed six of 13 counts against the former president. They “contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited” he wrote in his Wednesday order.

“The lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal,” McAfee wrote.

“They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways,” he explained.

Crucially, McAfee has dismissed charges that Trump “unlawfully solicited, requested and importuned” the Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to violate his oath of office when he told him “I need 11,000 votes” to change the outcome of the election.

The full context of the call is that Trump was unhappy with the conduct of the election, particularly in Fulton County — where Willis is now DA — and with officials letting fraud go unchecked. He wanted Raffensperger to take steps to uncover at least 11,000 fraudulent votes, believing this would be easy “because we won the state.”

“Why don’t you want to find this, Ryan? What’s wrong with you?” the then-President said to Ryan Germany, Raffensperger’s General Counsel.

Willis also faces an imminent ruling on whether she is even allowed to continue prosecuting the case. She faces allegations she lied about her relationship with married lover Nathan Wade, whom she selected as her lead prosecutor, and has personally profited from the case.

Biden Got NO Poll Bump After State of the Union.

Joe Biden received no boost in the polls following his State of the Union address, with his approval rating average actually hitting a new low on March 12.

Despite being hailed as a “fiery” speech by the legacy media, the 81-year-old’s address to Congress and the wider public has seemingly done nothing to improve his public standing, with ABC News editorial director of data analytics G. Elliott Morris observing his updated approval rating average has actually dipped to a “new all-time low.”

Calculations by FiveThirtyEight give Biden a disapproval rating of 56.5 percent and an approval rating of just 37.4 percent. His collapse in popularity has been stunning, with his approval having stood at over 50 percent and his disapproval at around 30 percent in January 2021.

Disapproval overtook approval as early as September 2021, and he has remained net negative ever since.

While Biden managed to avoid any significant memory lapses during his SOTU address, it was not entirely without stumbles. During a terse, impromptu exchange with conservative lawmakers on the killing of Laken Riley, the President shouted “I know how to say her name!” before twice referring to her as “Lincoln.”

He also received criticism from people on his own side for saying Riley had been “killed by an illegal,” with Rep. Nancy Pelosi saying he should have referred to her suspected murderer as “undocumented.”

Biden initially expressed “regret” for his language, before his team issued a statement insisting he “absolutely did not apologize” for it, with observers saying the gaffe gave an appearance of weakness and prevarication.

CA Voters Report Ballot Mistakes, Raise Concerns About Election Integrity.

California voters are voicing concerns about election integrity following reports of ballot mix-ups.

Voters in Madera, California received incorrect ballots for the state’s recent primary, with some claiming their registration was switched against their will and without their knowledge.

“I got my ballot in the mail, and I was going to vote early, but when I looked to where it said President of the United States, it didn’t have anybody there,” a 48-year-old wine bottle manufacturer named Saul told The Epoch Times.

Saul took his ballot to the Madera County Government Center on Super Tuesday, where he told officials he received the wrong ballot. They told him he was registered as having no party preference, which Saul denied. The officials eventually registered him as a Republican and he was able to participate in the primary.

“Somebody switched it,” said Saul. “I know that I did not switch it.” He continued:  “All of this that’s going on, it’s kind of fishy… I just hope my vote counts.”

A Madera County poll worker confirmed that Saul’s case was not the only such error on Super Tuesday. “There have been multiple people who experienced this,” the poll worker said. “We don’t know how or why their party affiliation was changed.”

Madera County was not the only place plagued by serious issues on Super Tuesday. Various counties in states across the country experienced technical glitches, delays, and other issues. Americans are increasingly losing faith in the election process and its integrity. A recent poll found that a majority of Americans actually believe US intelligence agencies will pick the winner of the 2024 presidential election.

RFK Rips Trump Over COVID Vaccines.

Democrat primary candidate turned independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized Donald Trump for comments he made during Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, saying the former president “clearly hasn’t learned from his COVID-era mistakes.”

“The Pandemic no longer controls our lives. The VACCINES that saved us from COVID are now being used to help beat cancer—turning setback into comeback. YOU’RE WELCOME JOE. NINE-MONTH APPROVAL TIME VS. 12 YEARS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU,” Trump wrote on Truth Social during Biden’s address.

“[Trump] fails to recognize how ineffective his warp speed vaccine is as the ninth shot is being recommended to seniors. Even more troubling is the documented harm being caused by the shot to so many innocent children and adults who are suffering myocarditis, pericarditis, and brain inflammation,” RFK Jr. wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

“Instead of bragging about its speedy approval, we should be honestly and transparently debating the abundant evidence that this vaccine may have caused more harm than good,” he added.

A study of 99 million people who took COVID-19 vaccines, published by the Global Vaccine Data Network in the journal Vaccine, linked the jabs to blood, heart, and neurological conditions. Studies have also linked the jabs to eyeball clots, declines in sperm, and “autism-like” symptoms, among other issues.
