The biggest migrant caravan in a year is currently marching on the United States, with between 6,000 and 10,000 would-be border crossers setting out from Tapachula, in southern Mexico, this past Sunday.
Reported to primarily hail from Cuba, Haiti, and Honduras, the migrants are accompanied and abetted by anti-borders activists such as Luis Garcia Villagran, quoted as saying the caravan could swell to 15,000 by the time it reaches the U.S. southern border, at its current pace, by spring 2024.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is traveling to Mexico to meet President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Wednesday, where he will notionally plead for help in ameliorating the border crisis, which has seen crossings top 10,000 a day in recent weeks. He is being accompanied by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who has often appeared to be on the cusp of being impeached over the crisis. In November, he escaped impeachment in a 209-201 vote, with eight Republicans joining with the Democrats to refer the matter to committee.
“[B]order agents are more than willing to sacrifice holidays to protect our fellow Americans, but what we are doing is not enforcing our laws, because of bad policy, our government is allowing cartels to control our border,” lamented the National Border Patrol Council in a statement.

The Washington Post is pushing a bizarre new theory which argues national borders are, in fact, bad for national security. Catherine Rampell, a columnist with the Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper, deployed twisted logic to conclude Republican efforts to end America’s mass immigration crisis would actually make the situation worse.
“What does safeguarding national security have to do with curbing immigration?” she asks herself, before answering, incorrectly: “For the most part, not much. But they are related in the sense that the measures Republicans want would undermine U.S. security.”
According to the liberal-left columnist, limiting President Biden’s power to grant asylum and mass-parole to illegal immigrants “undermines U.S. security” since it would essentially revive Title 42 – a pandemic measure which required asylum seekers to remain in Mexico pending adjudication of their claims.
Rampell even disingenuously implies Title 42 is responsible for the increased chaos at the border, when in reality, it was the Biden government’s decision to allow the measure to expire which drove the throngs of foreigners to the border. She goes on to conflate U.S. national security with Joe Biden’s campaign promises, lamenting, “[a]greeing to these measures would violate Biden’s 2020 campaign promises to restore integrity and humanity to the asylum system — promises he has arguably already been reneging on.”

German Cardinal Gerhard Müller saysFiducia supplicans – authored by Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez under the imprimatur of Pope Francis – is “self contradictory” and claims the document “was neither discussed nor approved by the General Assembly of Cardinals and Bishops of this Dicastery.” The document ostensibly opens to the door to ‘pastoral’ blessings for same-sex couples and unions. From 2012 to 2017, Cardinal Müller headed the Church’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith – the same Church body now headed by Cardinal Fernandez.
While the Catholic Church “can set certain pastoral accents and creatively relate the truth of Revelation to the new challenges of each age”, Müller asserts the doctrine is clear: “…these innovations cannot go beyond what was revealed to them once and for all by the apostles as the word of God (Dei verbum 8).”
The German cleric goes further: “In fact, there are no biblical texts or texts of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church or previous documents of the magisterium to support the conclusions of [Fiducia supplicans]” in a direct challenge to the Pope and Cardinal Fernandez.
Cardinal Müller notes the last time the Church issued a magisterial ruling on the matter of blessings for same-sex unions and couples – in 2021 – “…it categorically rejected the possibility of blessing these unions. This applies both to public blessings and to private blessings for people living in sinful conditions.” He goes on to argue Fiducia supplicans attempts to recognize the validity of the previous magisterial ruling – “and binding teaching” – as they apply to sacramental or liturgical blessings, but undermines this validity by broadening the definition of ‘blessing’ so much as to render it almost meaningless.
The Church already allows for sinners to receive a simple blessing when their state of sin precludes them from the sacraments.
In essence, Cardinal Müller, believes Fiducia supplicans creates a new category of blessing, which he notes “are a novelty”, with “…no basis for this new usage in the biblical texts cited… .” The influential German cardinal ultimately concludes, in what can only be read as a direct challenge to the document: “There is no blessing, not only in public but also in private, for sinful living conditions that objectively contradict God’s holy will.”

During a marathon appearance on War Room with Stephen K. Bannon this week, The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam hit on three topics which are likely to dominate national media through the New Year.
According to Kassam: the Democrats are dusting off their 2020 playbook in order to kick Donald Trump off the 2024 ballot; our national elites are propelled by arrogance – believing they’re smarter than those who came before them; and the unchecked border crisis will result in mass street protests against the Biden regime.
The Real 2020 Insurrection.
In late summer 2020, Kassam and Bill McGinley put together analysis of a strategy put forward by Democrat election-lawyer Marc Elias as well as Soros advisor Rosa Brooks. Their plans established a predicate for stealing the 2020 presidential election. The groups anticipated that Donald Trump would appear the overwhelming victor during initial election returns, but explained that the weeks-long counting of mail-in ballots would eventually put Joe Biden over the top.
As Kassam notes, various leftist groups like Act Blue provided material support for the actual insurrection – Antifa’s siege of the White House complex in late May and early June, as well as the routine Black Lives Matter violence in the run up to the 2020 election.
The Arrogance of Modernity.
Reflecting on the humility and wisdom of those who attended the townhall at the CowboyChurch in Casa Grande, Arizona on Wednesday night, Kassam noted our national political elites couldn’t appear more different. Instead of humility and a reverence for those who came before them, Kassam argues Democrats and the left believe they must prove they’re smarter than past generations.
“The people who were in the Cowboy Church in Casa Grande last night do not fancy themselves as smarter than this nation’s founders… the people who occupy the halls of power… start from a position that because several centuries have passed, therefore they must be smarter than the people who founded this nation,” Kassam said.
The Forthcoming Street Protests.
Finally, in an ominous prediction, Kassam told Bannon the continued unchecked flow of illegal immigrants into the United States under President Joe Biden’s watch will likely result in civil unrest. Referring to Americans, like those who attended the Cowboy Church town hall, Kassam said: “You feel in these peoples’ demeanor… they’re angry. And you feel that something will absolutely give way here, because these people I just don’t think are going to sit around and take it anymore.”
He noted the mass demonstrations which broke out in Germany against mass immigration when then-Chancellor Angela Merkel allowed 1.7 million migrants into her country. Kassam said the per-capita number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. had already surpassed the name which led to tens-of-thousands protesting in Germany.

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is calling on Ed Bastion, CEO of Delta Air Lines, to appear before Congress in order to answer questions regarding his company’s involvement with the transportation of illegal immigrants from the U.S. border into the interior of the country.
“The United States Congress has an interest in understanding pursuant to which arrangements with federal agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) non-resident aliens are able to book and travel on Delta Air Lines flights,” Gaetz wrote.
The Florida lawmaker expressed concerns over to what degree the illegal immigrants had been vetted and screened on both national security and public health grounds. Specifically, Gaetz is asking Bastion to provide to Congress the number of illegal immigrants the airline has “transported on behalf of the government or non-governmental organizations since January 20, 2021” as well as if Delta has received any benefits, funding, or credit from the federal government in exchange for providing transport for illegal immigrants.
Additionally, he pressed Bastion as to details regarding the process for which NGOs purchase transportation for illegal immigrants using Delta flights and if the TSA has dictated to the company what sorts of identification are necessary for illegal immigrants to clear airport security.
“I’m concerned the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) may be allowing non-resident aliens to board flights, including those operated by Delta Air Lines, with an alternative form of identification that meets a weaker standard than that used to verify the identities of American citizens when they fly,” Gaetz wrote.
U.S. airline passengers havereportedseeing lines illegal immigrants at airports in the Southwestern United States, many of whom appear to be boarding flights – ostensibly paid for by the Biden regime – to other U.S. cities despite lacking identification documents.
BREAKING: Congressman @mattgaetz has called for Delta CEO Ed Bastion to answer to Congress on the transportation of non-resident migrants
He’s calling for Delta to answer a few very simple questions:

Aylo Holdings S.A.R.L. (formerly MindGeek S.A.R.L.), parent company to Pornhub.com, has been held “accountable for its role in hosting videos and accepting payments from criminal actors who coerced young women into engaging in sexual acts on videos that were posted without their consent” by the Justice Department.
“Motivated by profit, Aylo Holdings knowingly enriched itself by turning a blind eye to the concerns of victims who communicated to the company that they were deceived and coerced into participating in illicit sexual activity,” said Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Assistant Director-in-Charge James Smith.
Pornhub has accepted the charges against it, entering into a so-called deferred prosecution agreement which will involve the imposition of a monitor for three years and payments to both the U.S. government and “individuals adversely affected by the underlying sex trafficking.”
The payment to the government will be relatively light, at $1,844,952.83. The Justice Department did not disclose the sums to be paid to its victims.
Pressure to take action against the pornographer initially came from regular people, with over a million signing a petition to shut down the site for hosting footage of sex trafficking victims.

Trade between the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China is booming amid the Western sanctions war on Moscow, with cheap Russian energy making Chinese factories more profitable and Chinese vehicles rapidly replacing Western ones in the Russian market.
Commerce between the two countries has already cleared $200 billion for 2023. Reports indicate Russian chocolates, sausages, and other goods have become “plentiful” in Chinese stores, with Russia-linked locations becoming popular sites for Chinese social media influencers.
More significantly, the volume of Russian natural gas transferred to China through its Power of Siberia pipeline has increased, with negotiations to construct a second pipeline from gas fields that once supplied the European Union well underway.
As Chinese manufacturers reap the benefits of this cheap energy while their Western and especially European rivals struggle with high costs, exacerbated by self-inflicted green policies, they are also benefiting from Western manufacturers having cut themselves off from the Russian market. Chinese automakers, whose market share in Russia was just eight percent in 2021, now hold a dominating 55 percent share.
Western expectations of economic collapse in Russia have proved ill-founded, with the country continuing to source artillery shells, missiles, and other key equipment for its war more easily than Ukraine.

German Mathews, 40, an illegal immigrant who has been deported from the U.S. five times, has been sentenced to 19 years in prison. He pleaded guilty in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court to charges of rape, felonious assault, and kidnapping. Mathews was found on top of the victim by police, who were responding to a 911 call. He attempted to flee the scene but was promptly arrested. The victim, a developmentally disabled woman, endured head injuries and multiple facial fractures.
Police Sgt. Jackie Dreyer described the attack as one of the most brutal crimes she has investigated during her over 20-year career. The assault occurred on April 29, while the victim was on her way to a bus stop in Forest Park. Lawyer James Bogen reported that Mathews, intoxicated from stolen liquor, has no memory of the incident and felt “possessed by a demon” at the time of the attack, as told to authorities.
Mathews, also known as Hernan Mateos, first entered the U.S. illegally in 2005 and has been arrested multiple times since then. His convictions include driving without a valid license, disorderly intoxication, sexual battery, and false imprisonment. After a criminal complaint in July 2017, Mathews admitted to illegally crossing the Rio Grande into Texas and was fined $10. Bogen indicated that Mathews repeatedly returned to the U.S. to escape poverty.

The United States Supreme Court has denied an expedited hearing regarding Donald’s ‘presidential immunity’ claim in relation to Jack Smith’s ongoing January 6th prosecution of the former President in Washington, D.C. The ruling comes as a major blow to special counsel Jack Smith who had asked the High Court to intervene so his prosecution could proceed to trial in early March. The Supreme Court did not issue any reasoning for its decision, nor did it indicate if there were any dissenting opinions – there is some speculation the ruling may have been unanimous.
Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys have argued Jack Smith’s prosecution in Washington, D.C. should be thrown out on the grounds his actions prior to the January 6th, 2021 riot were official acts of the chief executive to “ensure election integrity” and thus fall under presidential immunity. The Washington D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to an expedited hearing on the matter set to begin on January 9th, 2024. U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan previously ruled immunity protections did not apply to Trump’s actions questioning the integrity fo the 2020 presidential election.
Even if the appeals court panel rules against former President Trump, his legal team can then move for an en banc hearing before the full D.C. federal appellate court –a move which would likely push any trial well past the early March target set by Jack Smith. Only after an en banc hearing and subsequent ruling would the appeal then move to the Supreme Court – something that likely would not happen until the late summer of 2024.

The embattled Never Back Down SuperPAC, supporting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is cancelling the remainder of its 2024 airtime reservations in Iowa and New Hampshire. Reports indicate it had reserved about $2.5 million in airtime to run ads on behalf of DeSantis.
Never Back Down has experienced a spectacular collapse over the past month. Arguments over budgets and strategy erupted at the PAC’s board meeting last month, culminating a physical confrontation between the SuperPAC’s chief strategist Jeff Roe and long-time DeSantis fiend and confidant Scott Wagner. “You have a stick up your ass, Scott,” Roe is alleged to have shouted at Wagner, according to witnesses in the room, to which Wagner fired back, taunting, “Why don’t you come over here and get it?” Wagner also reportedly rose from his chair and had to be restrained by other board members.
The incident precipitated mass resignations from the Never Back Down SuperPAC, eventually leaving Wagner in charge. Chris Jankowski, the SuperPAC’s original CEO, resigned over Thanksgiving – as did Adam Laxalt who served a chairman of Never Back Down. Kristin Davison, an employee of Jeff Roe’s Axiom Strategies and protégé of Karl Rove, served only two-weeks as interim CEO before being forced out by Wagner and the SuperPAC’s board. The chaos at the SuperPAC reached its apex last week when chief strategist Jeff Roe resigned from his role.
With just three weeks to go before the Iowa Republicans gather for the state’s 2024 presidential caucus, the collapse of Never Back Down raises serious questions regarding the viability of Ron DeSantis’s candidacy. The Florida Governor’s presidential campaign committee has received little in terms of donor support, relying instead on Never Back Down to finance the primary campaign.
Never Back Down Chairman Scott Wagner told The National Pulse on Friday: “Never Back Down is laser focused on its core mission – running the most advanced grassroots and political caucus operation in this race and helping deliver the GOP nomination for Governor DeSantis who will deliver America from the disastrous policies of the Left. We are thrilled to have Fight Right and others covering the air for Governor DeSantis while we work the ground game in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and beyond.”
Fight Right is a new DeSantis-supporting PAC charged with placing more aggressive ads on TV, especially against Nimrata ‘Nikki’ Haley.
