Chicago Homelessness Surges Amid Migrant Crisis.

Homelessness in Chicago has surged dramatically within the past year, reflecting a broader crisis rooted in continued economic challenges and a flood of migrants arriving from the southern border. According to the city’s annual snapshot, the number of homeless individuals has increased by 200 percent, rising from 6,139 in 2023 to 18,836 in 2024.

A significant portion of this increase comes from 13,679 “sheltered new arrivals” and 212 “unsheltered new arrivals.” The latter represents a 960 percent jump from last year’s count of 20. Additionally, 1,422 “unsheltered non-new arrivals” and 3,523 “sheltered non-new arrivals” were documented. Notably, almost 30 percent of the homeless population comprises children under 18.

The rise in homelessness coincides with the arrival of buses of migrants sent from Texas amid the Biden government’s border crisis. Chicago officials, including Maura McCauley from the Department of Family and Support Services, report efforts to resettle over 43,000 migrants.

McCauley cited the end of pandemic-era support measures and increasing housing costs as contributing factors. “We anticipated this increase and expanded our shelter capacity fivefold. Without these measures, the situation could have been unprecedented and tragic,” McCauley said.

Mayor Brandon Johnson has been a focal point of criticism due to the crisis. Community frustrations boiled over in April when Johnson proposed allocating $70 million to migrant care. Meanwhile, Johnson’s administration has imposed a 60-day limit for migrant stays in city shelters. However, officials do not foresee a mass exodus from shelters, citing staggered exit dates and residents possibly re-entering temporary shelters if necessary.

Despite public anger, Johnson continues to defend the city’s sanctuary policies. Tensions remain high as citizens demand more resources for local communities and transparency around city expenditures.

SHOCK DATA: 2 in 3 Brexit Voters REFUSE to Vote for UK Conservative Party.

Just one in three Brexit voters intend to vote for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservative (Tory) Party in the July 4 snap election. Poll data also shows only 47 percent of the governing party’s 2019 voters intend to vote for them again.

In 2019, the Conservatives under Boris Johnson won their fourth general election in a row, with their biggest majority since the 1980s. They achieved this on a pledge to ‘Get Brexit Done’ and reduce immigration, but Brexit was only partially delivered, and immigration greatly increased. This support appears to have collapsed, with polling conducted by Professor Matt Goodwin on June 12 showing the opposition Labour Party leads them by 20 points.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party is within two points of the Tories nationally, which Goodwin notes is “within the margin of error.” Separate polling shows a gap of just one point. When voters are asked who they would prefer to be running the country post-election, Farage and Reform outpace Sunak’s party.

Over a quarter of the Conservatives’ 2019 voters have switched to Reform, and one in three Brexit voters. When specific demographics are considered, Farage is preferred to Sunak among the Conservatives’ 2019 voters, Brexit voters, working-class voters, Northern English voters, and men.

Farage has outlined a plan to take over the Conservatives post-election by outcompeting them, forcing a merger between the dying right-establishment party. He cites the example of former Canadian premier Stephen Harper’s Reform Party, which absorbed the establishment Progressive Conservative Party into a new formation after rendering it electorally unviable.

HOLLOW SUPPORT. 

Despite being on course to win an unprecedented parliamentary super-majority, Goodwin’s research suggests the Labour Party’s support is still relatively soft.

The leftist party ranks first overall in terms of who voters want to see running the country after the election, but its support stands at just 22 percent, behind ‘None of the Above.’

The July election will be the first British general election in which photographic identification will be required for in-person voting. However, mail-in voting on demand remains in place, leaving the system vulnerable.

Data Reveals New York Times ‘Bestseller List’ is EXTREMELY Partisan.

A study by The Economist has found that The New York Times‘s bestseller book list is biased against conservative authors. The study found that books authored by conservatives were at least seven percent less likely to make the newspaper’s weekly bestseller list. However, the analysis excluded household right-wing names in nonfiction like Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck, who have generally made the list—meaning less known names in conservative political publishing are most impacted.

The study also found that conservative books that make the bestseller list “…rank 2.3 notches lower on the nonfiction list, on average, than those published by other presses with similar sales… .” Low-volume conservative publishers—whose books sell less than 5,000 copies a week—were found to have a much less likely chance of having titles make the list than non-conservative publishers.

In 2017, conservative publisher Regnery stopped communicating its sales data with the New York Times after finding it editorialized its list in order to exclude conservative authors Dinesh D’Souza and Raheem Kassam (the latter now the Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse).

Responding to the study, The New York Times disputed the allegations of bias. “The political views of authors or their publishers have absolutely no bearing on our rankings and are not a factor in how books are ranked on the lists,” the newspaper said. It added: “There are a number of organizations with bestseller lists, each with different methodologies, so it is normal to see different rankings on each.”

Biden’s DHS Released ISIS-Linked Migrant into U.S. After They Crossed The Southern Border.

A Tajikistani migrant connected to the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist group was released into the United States by Joe Biden‘s Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The individual is among a group of foreign nationals apprehended in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York City during a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) anti-terrorism operation.

The Tajik migrant entered the U.S. through the southern border and is believed to have been vetted by federal law enforcement. Initial screenings did not reveal ties between the Tajik migrant and ISIS. They were subsequently released into the U.S. interior and assigned a court date in 2025 to appear before a federal immigration judge. However, subsequent investigations raised concerns, prompting action by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Unchecked flows of illegal migrants at the U.S. southern border continue to pose a national security threat, with the Tajik ISIS affiliate being only the latest terrorist to gain entry to the country. The National Pulse previously reported that a known member of the Somali terrorist group al Shabaab was able to reside in the U.S. for almost a year due to an error by federal agencies.

In another concerning border security breach, an allegedly “demobilized” member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)—a communist-aligned terror group—was apprehended in Texas this past March. The Biden government twice released Mohammad Kharwin, an Afghan national associated with the Hezb-e-Islami group, into the U.S. interior after he initially crossed the border earlier in March 2023.

Since Fiscal Year 2021, almost 400 individuals on the Terrorist Watch List have been apprehended at the border trying to enter the U.S.

WATCH: Most ‘Biden Jobs’ Are Being Taken by Illegals as Regime Rewards ‘Illegality and Criminality.’

Most of the jobs created under Joe Biden “are not jobs for American workers,” according to Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse. “These are not jobs for either the native nor the legal migrant,” he told Turning Points USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Kassam says the public “rightly are sick of” of this “rewarding of illegality, rewarding of criminality” by the Biden regime, which may explain why the incumbent rates so poorly on the economy in polls, despite the corporate media insisting it is growing well.

The National Pulse has previously reported research by Steve Englander, head of macro at Standard Chartered, estimating that “undocumented [sic] immigrants account for half of job growth in FY24 so far.”

Even this may have been an underestimate, however, with research by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), covered by The National Pulse in February, finding Biden‘s vaunted “jobs recovery” is driven almost entirely by illegal immigrants.

Kassam has explained how this is possible before, noting that illegal immigrants are still able to take jobs if they are issued so-called employment authorization documents by the Biden regime. These enable them to work while they await their day in immigration court.

This is often set for years from the date they first encounter U.S. border officials, and hundreds of thousands have been granted a stealth amnesty as a result of the federal government terminating their asylum cases without any decision on their right to asylum being taken.

Is Elon Musk Getting Me Too’d?

The Wall Street Journal has published an article attempting to ‘Me Too’ the South African tech billionaire Elon Musk, who recently denounced Donald Trump’s sham conviction in Manhattan as politically motivated.

The WSJ claims it spoke to “more than four dozen people, including former employees, people familiar with Musk’s interactions with female subordinates and friends and family of the women” involved in its story. However, it could only produce three new “victims,” at least one of whom wanted no part in the “scoop.”

The newspaper described the first “victim” as a SpaceX intern turned executive team member who had a consensual sexual relationship with Musk. The report concedes “she broke off the relationship with Musk [and] they remained friends.”

The WSJ appears to have relied on “friends” of the former employee to produce her story, despite admitting she “told friends not to speak with Journal reporters and later said that she didn’t want to be part of an article, following outreach from the Journal.”

A second supposed victim “alleged that Musk had asked her on multiple occasions to have his babies” during severance negotiations, after he had “denied [her] a raise and complained about her performance.”

The third supposed victim, like the former intern who did not want to be part of the WSJ story, had a consensual sexual relationship with Musk. However, months later was “telling her friends that she felt used” because she wanted “more than drinks at his house and sex.”

Musk, who was going through a messy divorce at the time of their tryst, said she “insisted on coming to my house to sleep with me when I was just sad and tired and wanted to be alone.” She is also alleged to have had an affair with an executive’s husband.

TERROR IN AMERICA: 8 ISIS Members Arrested After Crossing Southern Border.

Eight Tajikistan nationals with ties to ISIS were arrested by ICE and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia after entering the U.S. illegally through our southern border.

The details: The suspects entered the U.S. without initial flags from Customs and Border Protection or the Department of Homeland Security. Post-release, they were identified as having ties to ISIS, raising alarms about possible terrorism threats.

How’d we find them? Wiretaps revealed one suspect discussed bombings reminiscent of the Boston Marathon attack.

Back up: This comes one week after FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to the Senate that he was concerned about an increased threat of a coordinated terrorist attack inside the U.S.

Big picture: This all circles back to Joe Biden’s reckless open border. 294 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist have been apprehended at the southern border since Biden took office. And those are just the ones we caught. Customers and Border Protection estimate over 1.7 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S. undetected under Biden.

4 Arrested, Charges Filed 5 Years After Democrat Ballot Stuffing.

A Bridgeport, Connecticut, Democratic Party official, a city council member, and two campaign workers face criminal charges for allegedly perpetrating a ballot-stuffing scheme in the town’s 2019 Democratic mayoral primary. The charges stem from a plot to ensure incumbent Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim would win the primary race. He narrowly defeated State Senator Marilyn Moore by just 270 votes.

Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee Vice Chairperson Wanda Geter-Pataky and City Council Member Alfredo Castillo—along with campaign workers Nilsa Heredia and Josephine Edmonds—are charged with unlawful possession of absentee ballots and additional election-related violations. Three of the four also face charges of witness tampering.

RIGGING THE ELECTION.

An investigation by the Chief State’s Attorney’s office into the 2019 election scandal found evidence of extensive illegalities: Geter-Pataky reportedly failed to sign as an assister on an absentee ballot application she completed for a voter and allegedly misrepresented absentee voting eligibility requirements. The office also notes that she instructed a citizen not to vote in person and claimed she would retrieve the citizen’s absentee ballot. Additionally, Geter-Pataky purportedly told the citizen to keep quiet about the matter.

Heredia is accused of directing voters on absentee ballot candidate selections and misrepresenting eligibility requirements. She admitted to investigators that she did not submit an absentee ballot distribution list to the City of Bridgeport Clerk’s Office.

Castillo allegedly failed to maintain an absentee ballot distribution list and did not sign as an assister. Though initially denying involvement, Castillo later admitted to helping fill out portions of a ballot application.

Edmonds is accused of being present when four voters filled out absentee ballots and taking possession of them. Additionally, she allegedly failed to keep an absentee ballot distribution list and instructed a witness not to testify truthfully.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

Geter-Pataky is also suspected of being involved in a nearly identical scandal that resulted in the town’s 2023 mayoral election having to be held three times. Once again, Ganim was eventually re-elected despite numerous ballot irregularities. In September 2023, video evidence surfaced allegedly showing a city employee and Ganim supporter placing multiple absentee ballots into a ballot box during the Democratic mayoral primary.

WATCH: Boris Johnson Is Azov Neo-Nazis’ Biggest Lobbyist, and Biden Is Listening to Him.

Former British prime minister Boris Johnson had a hand in Joe Biden’s decision to lift restrictions on arming Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi Avov Brigade, believes Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse. Speaking to War Room host Stephen K. Bannon,

“The Azov Battalion… has absolute direct links to Neo-Nazism; this is not something that is disputed,” Kassam said of the group, which fights under the wolf’s hook emblem formerly used by Adolf Hitler’s Das Reich Waffen-SS division and was founded by an ultra-nationalist who preaches a “final crusade … against Semite-led Untermenschen [subhumans].”

“This is not something that even they dispute. What they say is that they have undertaken a PR operation to change their image and to try and put a lot of those things in the past,” Kassam explained.

“They’ve not, by the way, said, ‘Oh, and we and we divest of that, and we repudiate all of that…’ They say, ‘We’re trying to soften our image’— and, of course, one of their biggest lobbyists in the world at the moment, as we reported just a couple of weeks ago, is former British prime minister Boris Johnson, a lobbyist for Neo-Nazis,” he continued.

“And it looks like the efforts of his lobbying have been targeted at Joe Biden at the U.S. State Department and beyond, and been successful.”

ROOTS. 

Azov sees themselves as the heirs of Stepan Bandera, a 20th-century Ukrainian nationalist and independence fighter widely revered nationwide.

Modern-day Ukraine did not exist as a state until 1991, being a Soviet Socialist Republic during the Second World War. Part of its current territory belonged to Poland, and Bandera was involved in a series of political murders in that country as he sought independence. Many of his fighters and supporters welcomed and collaborated with the German Nazis when they invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 and embarked on a campaign of genocide against ethnic Poles in what is not western Ukraine.

However, Adolf Hitler planned to colonize Ukraine rather than grant it independence and had Bandera interned. He hid from the Soviets in West Germany until he was assassinated by the KGB in 1959.

Bannon Files Emergency Motion to Stay Out of Jail.

War Room host Stephen K. Bannon is requesting that a federal appeals court allow him to remain out of prison while he appeals his conviction on contempt of Congress charges. On Tuesday evening, Bannon filed an emergency motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. This request aims to overturn a lower court’s ruling from last week ordering Bannon, 70, to begin a four-month prison sentence starting July 1.

Bannon has asked the D.C. Circuit to expedite its decision by June 18. This timeframe would allow him to appeal to the Supreme Court if necessary. Bannon was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress in 2022. He had declined to comply with the corrupt January 6 Committee because Donald Trump had invoked executive privilege.

Attorney Trent McCotter, representing Bannon, argues imprisonment will hinder Bannon’s ability to advise in the ongoing election campaign. McCotter highlights that many Americans look to Bannon for information on important campaign issues before the November election.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has argued Bannon is a lawfare target for precisely this reason.

“[T]hat’s what Biden’s [Department of Justice] and their cronies really, truly fear,” he said of Bannon. “It’s not just, hey, here’s a guy that gets in front of a microphone and screams bloody murder all day long about what the globalist left is doing… [Bannon] actually gets people up off their couches, up off their seats; helps them to register for precint strategy; helps them to register for canvassing and campaigning,” Kassam stressed. “It’s his phrase, it’s catchphrase: ‘Action, action, action’—and that’s what they want to stop.”

Bannon’s sentence mirrors that of former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, who is currently serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. Navarro also sought to remain free pending an appeal, but the Supreme Court denied him.
