Trump Can Sue Niece Over NY Times Article, Court Rules.

A New York state appeals court ruled that former President Donald J. Trump can proceed with a lawsuit against his niece, Mary Trump, for her role in providing information to the New York Times for its 2018 investigation into his finances. The Appellate Division in Manhattan determined that Donald Trump has a substantial legal basis to claim that Mary Trump breached confidentiality clauses in a 2001 settlement agreement over the estate of Fred Trump Sr., the former President’s father.

A panel of five judges stated it remains unclear if Mary Trump’s disclosures violated the confidentiality terms and the intended duration of these provisions. Trump’s attorneys announced they planned to seek damages of upwards of $100 million.

Meanwhile, Mary Trump‘s legal team argued that the lawsuit aims to silence criticism and retaliate against truthful free speech. Anne Champion, Mary Trump’s attorney, stated, “Mary has made valuable contributions to the public’s knowledge of the former President with her unique perspective as a family member. We are confident she will be vindicated as the case proceeds.” Additionally, Champion added that Donald Trump “can claim no injury for the publication of truthful information.”

Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, expressed intent to hold Mary Trump accountable for what she termed a blatant breach of contract.

The New York Times report challenged claims that Donald Trump was a self-made billionaire, asserting he received approximately $413 million from his father through dubious tax schemes, which Trump denies. After the story’s publication, Mary Trump identified herself as a source for the New York Times in her 2020 book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.”

Fulton County Sued by Election Board Member Over 2024 Data Access Denial.

Julie Adams, a Republican member of the Fulton County, Georgia, Board of Elections, has filed a lawsuit against the county, the board, and the county’s election director, Nadine Williams. The lawsuit, filed last week, alleges that Adams was denied access to critical election information during this year’s primary elections, hindering her ability to prevent election fraud.

Adams claims that Williams consistently obstructed her from performing her duties as a board member. “Over the years, the Board has purportedly delegated core BRE responsibilities to an appointed Election Director. Plaintiff swore an oath to ‘prevent fraud, deceit, and abuse’ in Fulton County elections and to ‘make a true and perfect return,'” the lawsuit states. The lawsuit further emphasizes that Adams’ obligations are “frustrated by the repeated and continuing refusal to allow Plaintiff access to, and direct knowledge of, the information Plaintiff reasonably believes she needs to execute her duties faithfully and thoroughly.”

Adams asserts that Williams denied her requests for access to election-related materials and documents. Williams argued that these materials undergo a “rigorous validation process” and should “simply be trusted.” As a result, Adams voted against certifying the results of the state-level congressional primary held on May 21. She cited her inability to access necessary information as the reason she could not fulfill her responsibilities on the board.

Adams seeks a ruling from Fulton County Superior Court to clarify the role of the county’s election director and to grant her access to election materials. This lawsuit follows recent issues regarding election integrity in Fulton County, including the double counting of approximately 3,075 ballots in the 2020 presidential election.

Voter Roll Chaos: Over 26,000 Dead Voters, 92,000 Inactive Voters in Michigan.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) is appealing a Tuesday federal court ruling that paused its efforts to cleanse Michigan’s voter rolls of approximately 26,000 deceased residents. Concurrently, the Republican National Committee (RNC) accuses Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson of failing to update the permanent mail ballot list by removing 92,000 inactive registrants.

PILF has filed an appellate brief with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, seeking to overturn a decision from U.S. District Court Judge Jane Beckering in March. Judge Beckering, appointed by Joe Biden, said Michigan makes a “regular and ongoing” good-faith effort to remove ineligible voters, dismissing PILF’s lawsuit, which argued otherwise.

PILF initially sued Benson in November 2021 for allegedly not removing about 26,000 deceased individuals from the state’s voter rolls, arguing this violated the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. This federal law mandates states to make “a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters.”

In its appeal, PILF underscored that the district court denied its requests to depose Benson and a member of her staff. Additionally, attempts to depose ERIC, a third-party organization aiding Michigan in managing voter lists, were rejected by both a magistrate judge and Beckering.

In a separate lawsuit, the RNC alleges Benson’s office still needs to update the state’s permanent mail ballot list, which includes nearly 92,000 inactive voters. The group contended that failure to remove these obsolete entries violates state law and risks widespread distribution of absentee ballots to incorrect addresses.

An astonishing 20 percent of respondents to a Rasmussen poll on voting by mail admitted to fraud this year, easily enough to have swayed the 2020 election.

Israeli Official Predicts Gaza War to Extend Through 2024.

Israel’s war against Hamas is anticipated to extend through the end of the year, according to a senior Israeli official on Wednesday. Tzachi Hanegbi, Israel’s national security advisor, acknowledged during an interview with Kan public radio that he expects “another seven months of fighting” in Gaza in order to dismantle Hamas, the terrorist group responsible for the October 7 massacre.

The ongoing conflict has prompted increasing international calls for a ceasefire, alongside near-constant pro-Hamas protests in the United States — predominantly funded by progressive dark money groups and Democrat mega-donors. More than 100 Israeli hostages remain in Gaza following the surprise attack by Hamas last year.

From the outset, Israel’s military declared the “war will be long,” designating 2024 “as a year of war,” Hanegbi stated during the interview. Hanegbi’s remarks occur as Israeli forces advance further into Rafah, identified as one of the last significant Hamas strongholds in Gaza and the location of a substantial population of war refugees. An Israeli airstrike on Sunday resulted in the deaths of two senior Hamas fighters but also sparked a fire that killed at least 45 displaced civilians sheltering in the area.

The Israeli military alleges that an explosion from a Hamas weapons cache likely caused the inferno. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stated that the airstrike utilized two of the “smallest munitions” available, which he asserted could not have caused the resultant deadly blaze.

On Wednesday, Israel announced it had gained control of a strategic corridor along Gaza’s border with Egypt, aiming to sever smuggling routes utilized by Hamas. Beyond Rafah, Israeli forces continue to engage Hamas fighters in other regions of Gaza that have been under IDF control for months. Hanegbi underscored the need for resilience and patience, remarking in the radio interview, “This resilience is what has allowed this nation to survive for 75 years, and even for 3,000 years before that. Just don’t use a stopwatch on ourselves or set ultimatums.”

Three Dead in Two Weeks in Democrat D.C.’s Jail.

Three people have died in the span of just two weeks in the Central Detention Facility (CDF), a.k.a. the D.C. Jail, in America’s crime-ridden capital. Takoma Park resident Sheena Weatherspoon, 39, is the most recent of the deceased, confirmed dead after being found unresponsive in her cell at 1:05 PM on May 11 by the Department of Corrections.

Another woman, 22-year-old Dominique Brown, was the first of the three inmates to pass away over the deadly two-week period. Sincere Howard, a 23-year-old male, was the second.

A fourth D.C. Jail inmate, 35-year-old Anthony McDonald, died in custody in February, and 47-year-old Roy Tatum died in custody in January, for five D.C. Jail deaths so far in 2024.

The five deaths are under investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and the Office of Investigative Services at the Department of Corrections, with the chief medical examiner yet to confirm the causes of death as of the time of publication.

D.C. is governed by a Democrat mayor, Muriel Bowser, and a City Council comprised exclusively of Democrats and former Democrats sitting as independents. It is struggling to address crime — murders rose sharply from 203 in 2022 to 274 in 2023. It is also suffering a surge in carjackings, with Democratic Congressman Enrique ‘Henry’ Cuellar (TX) being among those targeted last year.

This year has seen a former Donald Trump administration member, Mike Gill, shot in the head and killed during a February carjacking spree. A police captain was also shot in the head, just five blocks from his station, during a May carjacking attempt.

Even the Biden family has not been immune from the crime wave, with Secret Service agents forced to open fire on assailants attempting to break into an SUV carrying Joe Biden’s daughter Naomi in November.

San Fran Removes “Appeal To Heaven” Flag After NYT Smear Campaign.

San Francisco city officials have removed the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which has flown for 60 years over the city’s Civic Center Plaza. The flag was removed on Saturday, just days after the New York Times declared the flag to be a symbol of the January 6 U.S. Capitol rioters and Christian nationalism in an effort to smear U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.

Meanwhile, far-left activists and the corporate media have undertaken a concerted effort to force Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse themselves from several pending cases addressing the prosecutions of the Capitol rioters and former President Donald J. Trump. A New York Times story revealing that Justice Alito had flown an upside-down American flag outside his home shortly before Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021 kicked off the recusal effort. The newspaper followed up last Wednesday with the story revealing Alito had flown an “Appeal to Heaven” flag outside his family’s beach house.

The “Appeal to Heaven” has flown over San Francisco‘s Civic Center Plaza since it was first raised during Flag Day on June 14, 1964. Other flags on the plaza include the Gadsden flag and the Texas Lone Star state flag. Each flag commemorates a critical moment in American history. City park officials justified the flag’s removal, arguing that while it once symbolized the “quest for American independence,” it has “since been adopted by a different group — one that doesn’t represent the city’s values.”

Last week, the National Pulse reported that the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, despite the media’s assertions, is not a symbol exclusive to the Capitol rioters. Dating to the American Revolution, the flag was designed by General George Washington‘s secretary, Colonel Joseph Reed, and used as a naval ensign in the Continental Army.

NEW HOAX DROP: ‘Trump Said N-Word 20 Years Ago,’ Claims Ex-Apprentice Producer.

Bill Pruitt, a former producer on The Apprentice, claims the expiration of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is finally allowing him to allege that Donald Trump said “n***er” — a slur against African-Americans — on set in 2004. Pruitt’s story about being gagged for two decades, however, fails to add up considering his previous barbs aimed at Trump, as well as years of commentary about the show.

“I signed an expansive nondisclosure agreement that promised a fine of $5 million and even jail time if I were to ever divulge what actually happened,” writes Pruitt in the little-read left wing website Slate. Pruitt describes himself as “one of four producers involved in the first two seasons” of the show, and implies the expiration of the NDA this year has freed him — although he has actually been trashing The Apprentice as a “scam” for years.

Pruitt claims Trump was reluctant to allow black season one contestant Kwame Jackson — now a self-described “DEI Consultant” who accuses Trump of “Racism, Xenophobia, [and] Sexism” on social media — to win. He claims Trump said, “I mean, would America buy a n***er winning?” He adds that the then-future president was “serious, and… adamant about not hiring Jackson,” and that “the damning evidence was caught on tape.”

However, such tapes have never emerged, and Pruitt writes he has come to believe they “will never be found.”

But despite claiming he could not accuse Trump of saying n***er without facing multi-million-dollar fines and possible jail time for violating an “expansive” NDA, he has been able to attack The Apprentice and personally insult Trump, apparently without sanction, since at least 2016.

Pruitt also previously denied as “preposterous” an accusation he signed “a confidentiality agreement when working on The Apprentice… agree[ing] to sexism in workplace,” implying it merely covered not disclosing the outcome of the contest.

“We signed them so as to not disclose who got fired,” Pruitt insisted, calling his new claims into question.

The news is evidently the latest, scarcely believable hoax against Trump, which comes as polls show the 45th President surging with black voters against Joe Biden. The peddlers of the hoax, including Pruitt, are asking Americans to believe that not only did Trump openly use the n-word amongst a number of liberal television colleagues, but that no one thought to allege it until 2024.

European Nation Sees Over 70,000 Syrians Naturalized in Last Year Alone.

Germany experienced a significant rise in citizenship grants last year, with a considerable number of Syrian nationals contributing to the highest naturalization figures since at least 2000. Official data released on Tuesday by the Federal Statistical Office indicated that approximately 200,100 individuals were granted German citizenship in 2023. This represented an increase of about 31,000, or 19 percent, compared to the prior year.

This rise followed a 28 percent increase in 2022, driven by the naturalization of many Syrians. These individuals migrated to Germany between 2014 and 2016 and met the requirements for citizenship. In 2023, 75,500 people from Syria were naturalized, making them the largest group, comprising 38 percent of the total. This number was up by 56 percent compared to 2022. On average, they had spent 6.8 years in Germany before obtaining citizenship.

Other significant groups included 10,700 individuals each from Turkey and Iraq, who also became German citizens last year.

To be granted citizenship, individuals were required to have a working knowledge of German and to demonstrate financial self-sufficiency. Applicants generally need to have lived in Germany for at least eight years. The period could be reduced to six years for individuals demonstrating “special integration accomplishments” such as superior language skills, professional achievements, or civic engagement.

New legislation taking effect on June 27 will ease these requirements. Eligibility for citizenship will be reduced to five years or three years for those with “special integration accomplishments.” Additionally, German-born children will automatically become citizens if one parent has been a legal resident for five years, reduced from the previous requirement of eight years. Restrictions on dual citizenship will also be lifted.

Germany has experienced significant trouble integrating its large Muslim migrant population. A recent study found that nearly half of young Muslims want an Islamic caliphate. Earlier this month, over a thousand Muslims gathered in Hamburg to demand the creation of such a caliphate in Germany.

Hamas May Be Using U.S. Weapons, Explosives Sold to Egypt.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) say they’ve recovered M112 explosive charges from a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)-run school in Jabalia, Gaza. According to investigative journalist Laura Loomer, the IDF claims these M112 explosive charges are U.S.-made.

Batch numbers found on the explosive charges indicated they’re likely from a weapons sale the U.S. government made to Egpyt in 2007. For years, Israeli officials have suspected that elements of the Egyptian military have provided guns and other munitions to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. The terror group perpetrated the barbaric October 7 attacks in Israel last year, sparking renewed conflict in the region.

The National Pulse previously reported that UNRWA employees appear to have actively participated in Hamas‘s terrorist attacks against Israel late last year. Even more concerning, Western nations have contributed at least $8 billion to UNRWA over the past decade. At least some of this money is believed to have ended up in the hands of Hamas terrorists.

According to data compiled by UNRWA, in the ten years from 2013 to 2022, the United States gave $2,558,830,210, the EU and its member states collectively gave $5,246,475,932, and Australia, Canada, and New Zealand gave a combined $313,429,066 to the controversial agency — a grand total of $8,118,735,208. Following the revelations that UNRWA staff aided Hamas, at least 11 Western governments announced they would be suspending contributions to the United Nations group. 

The Biden government has been under increasing pressure from Arab-American and Muslim political organizations to renew UNRWA funding.

The FBI Lovers Who Tried to Stop Trump in 2016 Are Dropping Their ‘Privacy Violations’ Lawsuit Against the DOJ.

Former FBI official Lisa Page has reached a tentative settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding her allegations of privacy violations due to the release of her text messages with fellow agency official Pete Strzok. These texts were exchanged during the 2016 presidential election cycle and exposed their concerted opposition to Donald Trump’s election.

Page’s lawsuit stemmed from the DOJ‘s public release of her communications with Strzok, with whom she was involved in an extramarital relationship. The text messages became a focal point during political debates and investigations into potential bias within the FBI.

According to a court filing on Tuesday, the tentative agreement will, if approved by the presiding judge, resolve the five-year-old case in which Page sought financial damages of at least $1,000 for alleged FBI privacy violations. Further details on the settlement were not provided. Meanwhile, Strzok, who was dismissed from the FBI, has yet to settle his lawsuit, in which he is seeking back pay and reinstatement to his position.

The release of the text messages has been heavily scrutinized, impacting both Page’s and Strzok’s careers and reputations. The resolution of Page’s case may close one chapter of the protracted legal proceedings related to the 2016 election and the FBI‘s internal conflicts.
