Brexit leader Nigel Farage is sticking by his decision to forgo standing in the British election on July 4 in favor of campaigning for Donald Trump, despite the former President’s sham conviction in Manhattan.
“Yes, of course I’m going to stand up and defend Donald Trump,” Farage told British media when asked if he has any regrets. “And I’ll tell you why, because I believe the world, uncertain as it is, will be a much safer place with him in the White House than Joe Biden,” he explained, citing the former president’s record of negotiating peace and trade accords between Arab states and Israel, in particular.
Reacting to Trump’s conviction directly on X, formerly Twitter, Farage wrote that the “verdict is a disgrace” and predicted Trump would “win big” as a result.
Earlier this month, Farage said a “strong America as a close ally is vital for [Britain’s] peace and security” and pledged to “help with the grassroots campaign in the USA in any way I can.”
He campaigned for Trump during the 2016 election. The then-future president, in turn, backed Brexit ahead of Britain’s prior European Union referendum and hosted Farage, National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam, and other Brexit leaders at Trump Tower after he became President-elect.
This verdict is a disgrace. Trump will now win big.

Democrat Representative Jamie Raskin is arguing Joe Biden’s Justice Department can force Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito to step down from cases related to the January 6 protests. The cases in question, Trump v. United States and Fischer v. United States, involve then-President Donald Trump’s supposed role in the Jan 6 disorder.
According to Raskin, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland can petition other Supreme Court justices to enforce recusal under judicial disqualification statutes and the U.S. Constitution. Raskin emphasizes that these recusal statutes are legally binding and not mere recommendations.
“It seems unfathomable that the two justices could get away with deciding for themselves whether they can be impartial in ruling on cases affecting Donald Trump’s liability for crimes he is accused of committing on Jan. 6,” Raskin whines.
“The U.S. Department of Justice… can petition the other seven justices to require Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves not as a matter of grace but as a matter of law,” he argues.
“The Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland can invoke two powerful textual authorities for this motion: the Constitution of the United States, specifically the due process clause, and the federal statute mandating judicial disqualification for questionable impartiality, 28 U.S.C. Section 455,” he claims.
SEPARATION OF POWERS?
The Biden Justice Department’s attempting to stack the court against Donald Trump while prosecuting him would be a significant attack on the separation of powers, with the Supreme Court being a branch of the U.S. government co-equal with the executive.
However, it is not the only line of attack Raskin has opened against the Supreme Court. He is also pushing for Congress to stack the court with four additional justices and to impose an “ethics code” which would make it easier for Congressmen to impeach justices considered problematic.
Raskin appears willing to thwart Trump’s reelection by any means necessary, drafting legislation to try and prevent him from standing and celebrating his sham conviction in New York as a “victory” for “Democratic politics.”

Members of Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Lebanese-based Hezbollah terrorist group have been killed in a series of joint U.S.-British airstrikes targeting the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The strikes, which occurred yesterday, come on the heels of reports that Iran recently supplied the Houthi rebel group with anti-ship ballistic missiles.
The airstrikes killed at least 16 people, according to the Houthi rebel group. Another 35 individuals were said to be wounded. Following the military action, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stated the airstrikes were intended “to further degrade the military capabilities of the Houthis and to prevent further attacks on international shipping.” According to U.S. Central Command, the joint strikes hit 13 Houthi targets and “destroyed eight uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV) in Iranian-backed Houthi controlled areas of Yemen and over the Red Sea.”
Houthi militants claimed the strikes targeted unlawfully civilians. “This represents a clear targeting of civilian structures, a blatant violation of all international laws, and a full-fledged war crime,” Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, a Houthi military spokesman, said on Friday. Saree also claimed the Iranian-backed rebels had responded with a successful strike against the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier. U.S. defense officials have denied the Houthi claim.
Meanwhile, The National Pulse reported on Friday that Houthi rebels captured a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone after it was downed over Yemen on Wednesday. It is the sixth U.S. MQ-9 Reaper to have been captured by the rebel group.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) is leading a coalition of Republican Senators who say they are “no longer cooperating with any Democrat legislative priorities or nominations” following Thursday’s guilty verdict against former President Donald J. Trump in his Manhattan-based hush money trial. The Utah Republican, in an open letter signed by seven of his colleagues, invited “all concerned Senators to join our stand.”
“The White House has made a mockery of the rule of law and fundamentally altered our politics in un-American ways,” Sen. Lee wrote before adding: “As a Senate Republican conference, we are unwilling to aid and abet this White House in its project to tear this country apart.” Lee’s letter is joined by Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Rick Scott (R-FL), Roger Marshall (R-KS), and Marco Rubio (R-FL).
In a statement exclusive to The National Pulse, Sen. Lee said: “This is a time for choosing. Are Republicans—or any elected officials of any party—going to sit idly by and watch as America’s judicial system is reduced to the legitimacy of a banana republic, or are we going to do something?”
The group of Senate Republicans is pledging to block all non-security-related funding for the Biden government, as well as any appropriations bill that could fund Biden’s partisan lawfare against former President Trump. Additionally, Lee’s coalition says they will vote against confirmation for any future Biden judicial nominees or political appointees and prevent the expedited passage of any non-security legislation in the Senate.

The Republican Party is setting fundraising records following the guilty verdict issued against former President Donald J. Trump in his Manhattan-based hush money trial on Thursday. Small-dollar donors have flocked to the Trump presidential campaign, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) in response to the Democrat lawfare efforts against the presumptive Republican nominee.
On Friday, the NRCC announced it had raised $300,000 following Thursday’s verdict, its best fundraising day of the 2024 cycle so far. A spokesman for the NRCC noted that 22 percent of the money raised came from new, first-time donors to the campaign committee. Likewise, the NRSC raised $360,000 in under 24 hours. The committee said online donations tripled after the jury issued the guilty verdict.
Meanwhile, former President Trump‘s 2024 campaign committee raked in nearly $35 million by Friday morning. Fueled by small-dollar donations, Trump’s fundraising haul almost doubled the previous single-day record on the WinRed platform. The Trump campaign highlighted that 29.7 percent of the donors were first-time contributors.
The NRCC’s post-verdict fundraising blew past the $175,000 it raised when Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA) was elected Speaker of the House. The NRSC’s fundraising also edged out the $325,000 it posted on Super Tuesday.
“The American people hate how the justice system was weaponized to convict President Trump,” NRCC spokesman Will Reinert said in a statement announcing the record contribution numbers. He added: “They are opening up their wallets to protest Joe Biden and House Democrats’ kangaroo court, and they will deliver the final verdict with their votes this November.”

Illegal Venezuelan immigrant Jose Ibarra, charged with the murder of Augusta University student Laken Riley, entered a not-guilty plea during his arraignment on Friday. Ibarra, 26, is facing a ten-count indictment related to the death of Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student attacked on February 22 while jogging on dirt trails on the University of Georgia campus in Athens.
The arraignment occurred at Athens-Clarke County Superior Courthouse, where Riley’s mother, Allyson Phillips, was visibly emotional — breaking down in tears. The judge has scheduled a status hearing for August, with the trial expected to occur later in the fall.
Ibarra faces multiple charges, including malice murder, two counts of kidnapping with bodily injury, two counts of aggravated assault with intent to rape, two counts of aggravated battery, obstructing or hindering a person from making a 911 call, tampering with evidence, and being a “peeping Tom.”
The indictment alleges that Ibarra caused Riley’s death by blunt-force trauma to her head and asphyxiating her in an unspecified manner. He is also accused of spying on a university staff member in an apartment on the same day of the alleged murder.
Ibarra resided in an apartment complex near the on-campus park where Riley was jogging. University of Georgia Police Chief Jeffrey Clark described the incident as a “crime of opportunity,” noting the proximity of Ibarra‘s apartment to the crime scene.
Records indicate that Ibarra, originally from Venezuela, entered the United States illegally through El Paso, Texas, in September 2022. He was reportedly released into the U.S. on parole, according to sources from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Former President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly blasted the Biden government for its open borders policies, which have allowed murderers like Ibarra to enter the country illegally.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is accusing the Democrats, his former party, of adopting a strategy of trying to “beat President Trump in the courtroom rather than the ballot box.” He argues this is not only “profoundly undemocratic” but “will backfire in November.”
“America deserves a President who can win at the ballot box without compromising our government’s separation of powers or weaponizing the courts,” RFK Jr. wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“You can’t save democracy by destroying it first. The Democrats are afraid they will lose in the voting booth, so instead they go after President Trump in the courtroom.”
Trump was convicted of dubious charges in a heavily Democrat area in a prosecution brought by a Democratic District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, on Thursday. The judge overseeing the case, Juan Merchan, has strong familial links to the Democratic Party but refused to recuse himself and even imposed a gag order banning Trump from talking about his conflicts of interest.
“This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt,” Trump said following his conviction.
“They wouldn’t give us a venue change. We were at 5 percent or 6 percent in this district, in this area. This was a rigged, disgraceful trial,” he stressed, adding that the “real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people.”
The Democratic Party's strategy is to beat President Trump in the courtroom rather than the ballot box. This will backfire in November. Even worse, it is profoundly undemocratic.
America deserves a President who can win at the ballot box without compromising our government’s…

Elie Honig — a former federal prosecutor, CNN legal analyst, and associate of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — says the hush money prosecution of former President Donald J. Trump “was an ill-conceived, unjustified mess.” While the former prosecutor turned corporate media pundit claims the jury’s verdict should be respected, he acknowledged that the legal theory behind Bragg’s prosecution “contorted the law in an unprecedented manner.”
In a lengthy essay for New York Magazine‘s Intelligencer, Honig blasts Bragg and Democrat-aligned JudgeJuanMerchan for what he contends was a politically motivated and dubious prosecution. The CNN legal analyst also criticized Judge Merchan for not properly addressing his political conflicts with the case.
MERCHAN’S CONFLICTS.
“The judge donated money… in plain violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges from making political donations of any kind — to a pro-Biden, anti-Trump political operation,” Honig writes, adding that the funds were explicitly “earmarked for ‘resisting the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s radical right-wing legacy.'”
The National Pulse has reported extensively on the personal and political conflicts of Judge Merchan, who refused to recuse himself from presiding over the case. Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, a political fundraiser, has taken millions of dollars from nationalDemocrats who raised campaign funds off of the prosecution. Additionally, Representative Daniel Goldman, a client of Loren Merchan, helped prepare the prosecution’s star witness, Michael Cohen, for his cross-examination.
‘ENTIRELY UNPRECEDENTED.’
Honig additionally writes that “[t]he charges against Trump are obscure, and nearly entirely unprecedented.” He contends that Bragg overreached in using a federal campaign finance violation as a predicate crime to resurrect the falsifying business record charges, which were beyond the statute of limitations.
“In fact, no state prosecutor — in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere — has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime, against anyone, for anything. None. Ever,” Honig argues, adding: “Even putting aside the specifics of election law, the Manhattan DA itself almost never brings any case in which falsification of business records is the only charge.”

Joe Biden is authorizing Ukraine to use American-supplied weapons to strike inside Russia near the Kharkov (Kharkiv) region. His decision represents a significant escalation of the West’s proxy war with Russia as it gains the upper hand over Ukraine.
The Biden regime agreed to this change amid increasing pressure from NATO allies and deteriorating conditions on the Ukrainian battlefield. The British representative at a NATO meeting in Bulgaria recently complained, “We have to admit that Ukraine is losing this war,” saying the West could not “continue to tell Ukraine not to fire its [Western] missiles at Russia.”
“The President recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use U.S. weapons for counter-fire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” confirmed an anonymous U.S. official. For now, instructions that U.S. weapons should not be used for long-range strikes inside Russia remain unchanged — excepting Crimea and more recently annexed Ukrainian territories, which the West does not recognize as part of Russia.
In recent months, Ukrainian forces have been getting ground down in the Donbass (Donbas) regions of Donetsk and Luhansk by Russia’s superior artillery and manpower. They have also been stretched thin by a new Russian offensive in the Kharkov region, which has seized swathes of territory along the border.
Britain has also authorized the use of its long-range Storm Shadow missiles against Russia, according to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Germany authorized the use of German-supplied weapons for the same purposes.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin has previously warned of “major consequences” should NATO enable long-range strikes inside Russia.

Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin said the quiet part out loud after Donald Trump’s sham conviction in Manhattan. Defenders of the prosecution, brought by a Democrat District Attorney in a Democrat district and overseen by a Democrat-linked judge, claimed it was about upholding the law, not politics. However, Raskin is now gloating Trump’s conviction was “a victory, at least a minor victory, for the rule of law and also for Democratic politics” on CNN.
Raskin has long sought to stop Trump’s reelection, not by persuading the American people not to vote for him but by upending the constitutional order.
In March, he announced he was drafting legislation banning Trump from standing for reelection, arguing the “House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in insurrection by inciting it… the House has already pronounced upon that.”
However, Trump was acquitted of these politically-motivated charges in his subsequent Senate trial.
Earlier this month, Raskin announced a push to rig the Supreme Court, where conservatives, including three Trump appointees, are currently in the majority, by creating additional justices, introducing term limits, and imposing an “ethics code” that would make it easier to impeach justices for bogus transgressions.
Raskin has also proposed simply changing the electorate, arguing it is “neither constitutionally required nor historically normal” to prevent non-citizens from voting.
Deranged lunatic Jamie Raskin, who has spent the past decade trying to “GET” President Trump, praises the sham verdict as a “victory.”
