U.S. & Germany Push Zelensky To Negotiate, Ceding Territory to Russia.

The U.S. and German governments now believe the Ukrainian military is incapable of retaking territory lost to Russia in the course of the latter’s invasion.  According to the German news outlet BILD, the two governments hope Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will come to realize the need for negotiations with Russia. A German government source told the outlet, “Zelensky should come to the realization that things cannot go on like this.”

The failure of Ukraine’s counter-offensive has left U.S. and German officials concluding additional weapons shipments to the country should only be in quantities needed to hold the war front and prevent further Russian territorial gains. “He should address his nation of his own free will and explain that negotiations need to be carried out,” the government source said.

Earlier this month The National Pulse reported General Valery Zaluzhny, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), conceded Ukraine’s long-anticipated counter-offensive has “most likely” failed, with his men having advanced only a little over ten miles in months. Zaluzhny said an “attritional trench war” could “wear down the Ukrainian state,” and aides to President Volodymyr Zelensky have already expressed concern over the average age of a Ukrainian soldier having risen to 43 – especially as these middle-aged fighters “aren’t that healthy”.

Zelensky has continued to push Western governments for more lethal aid in his country’s conflict with Russia. In early November, Zelensky extended an invitation to former President Donald Trump — the 2024 U.S. presidential front runner — to visit Ukraine for a briefing on why the war must continue.

No Americans Among Initial Hostages Released By Hamas, Biden Says He Doesn’t Know When U.S. Citizens Held In Gaza Will Be Freed.

President Joe Biden announced there were no Americans were among the initial hostages released by Hamas after over 200 were taken by the terrorist group after a surprise attack on Israel on October 7th. Earlier today, Hamas released 24 hostages as part of a larger deal with Israel to release a total of 50 women and children held in Gaza in exchange for the release of 150 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Thirteen of the hostages released were Israeli, with the others being mostly Thai nationals.

When asked when the first American hostages would be released, President Biden gave a muddled response: “We don’t know when that will occur, but we’re gonna expect it to occur.” The President went on to say, “We don’t know what the list of all the hostages are and when they’ll be released, but we know the numbers that are going to be release. It is my hope and expectation that it will be soon.”

The uncertainty and lack of concrete details in Biden’s remarks only added further confusion regarding U.S. efforts to secure the release of American citizens held by Hamas. Biden also claimed he believes Hamas’s barbaric October 7th surprise attack against Israel was motivated by his efforts to strike a peace-deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia – although he admitted he had no evidence proving the connection.

DATA: Gun Ownership Reaches Record Highs Among U.S. Electorate.

More than half of the American electorate – 52 percent – say that either they or someone in their household owns a firearm, which represents the highest number on records that began in 1999, according to a recent NBC News national poll.

Pollsters, who surveyed 1,000 registered U.S. voters, learned that gun ownership has increased by six percent over the past four years. Exactly two-thirds of Republican voters are in close proximity to firearms, compared to 45 percent of independents, and 41 percent of Democrats. Notably, the largest increase in gun ownership occurred among Democrat voters, rising eight percent since 2019.

White voters own firearms at the highest rate at 56 percent – a three percent increase compared to 2019. Among black voters, gun ownership rose a whopping 17 percent in just four years from 24 percent to 41 percent.

“In the last ten years, we’ve grown [10 points] in gun ownership. That’s a very stunning number,” explained Micah Roberts, who was involved in conducting the survey.

“By and large, things don’t change that dramatically that quickly when it comes to something as fundamental as whether you own a gun,” he added.

‘Ireland, We Are at War’ – Conor McGregor Calls on Irish to Destroy Hotels Before Migrants Can Be Moved In.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) superstar Conor McGregor has said members of the public should “evaporate” properties before they can be taken over “unannounced,” apparently in reference to hotels and other buildings which the Irish government is filling with migrants after giving locals short or zero advance notice.

“Do not let any Irish property be took over unnanounced,” wrote the former UFC featherweight and lightweight world champion. “Evaporate said property. It’s a war,” he continued, later reiterating “Ireland, we are at war” for good measure.

McGregor was apparently responding to news that the Irish government had begun piling the first of at least 70 migrant men into a 22-bedroom guest house in a residential area, barely a day after Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman had claimed he would meet with locals to discuss their concerns.

McGregor

The fighter made the comments after he had expressed anger over a migrant who was able to move to Ireland despite being a convicted pedophile murdering a young female teacher, but before another incident in which a migrant stabbed a woman and three toddlers outside a Dublin school.

This prompted an even more furious reaction from McGregor, who backed members of the public who rioted in response to the attack against smears they were “far right,” warning: “We are not backing down, we are only warming up.”

Near 1,000 Carjackings in DC This Year, Up 108% on 2022.

Total carjackings in Washington D.C. have now passed the 900 mark, with two incidents over Thanksgiving taking the count for 2023 to 901. Ninety-two of these carjackings took place over just the last 30 days, with carjackings for the year up by 108 percent on 2022.

Carjackings involving a firearm account for the lion’s share of incidents, at 695, and are up by even more than carjackings overall.

Several high-profile incidents have taken place recently, including one in which House Democrat Enrique ‘Henry’ Cuellar was carjacked outside a building housing many Congressmen, and a possible attempted carjacking involving Joe Biden’s granddaughter Naomi.

carjacking

On its Carjacking Dashboard, the Metropolitan Police Department acknowledges carjackings “can be particularly scary” – but it insists that “[s]tatistically speaking… your chances of being a victim of carjacking are very slim”.

Preliminary data accurate to November 22nd indicates total crime in D.C. is up by 27 percent on 2022. Violent crime is up by an even higher 40 percent, including a 35 percent increase in homicide.

The D.C. government is entirely dominated by Democrats, with Mayor Muriel Bowser and every member of the City Council being members or former members of the leftist party.

WATCH: Ireland Riots After Migrant Stabs Children Near School.

Riots have broken out in Ireland over the stabbing of a five-year-old boy, a five-year-old girl, a six-year-old girl, and a woman in her thirties near a school in Dublin, Ireland. The atrocity, committed yesterday by an immigrant from Algeria, has sparked a major national argument both on the streets and at a political and media level, with tensions likely to heighten.

Gript, a populist-leaning online news outlet, initially reported sources had informed them the suspect was an Algerian migrant. Soon after, the BBC said their sources reported the suspect was in his forties and “an Irish citizen, who has lived in the country for 20 years” – which would still make him an immigrant, though they avoided saying so.

Tensions are already high in Ireland over migrants being moved into hotels and other buildings, often unannounced, en masse. A migrant with convictions for child sex offences in his home country recently stabbed a young female teacher to death. News of the stabbing suspect’s foreign background provoked considerable public anger, which soon resulted in violent protests. Riot police were attacked, a squad car and a double-decker bus were torched, and stores have been looted vandalized within the past 24 hours.

Drew Harris, Commissioner of the An Garda Síochána, also known as the Gardai or Guards, initially refused to disclose the suspect’s nationality and claimed his motives were unknown. He did immediately accuse a “lunatic, hooligan faction driven by a far-right ideology” of being responsible for the riots, however.

Efforts to brand the protesters “far-right” have not gone down well, with Ireland’s biggest sports star, UFC fighter Conor McGregor, saying Harris’s response was “not good enough.”

“Innocent children ruthlessly stabbed by a mentally deranged non-national… There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place, and there has been zero action done to support the public in any way, shape or form with this frightening fact,” he wrote on X.

‘OPENLY AUTHORITARIAN’ – Media Panic Intensifies As Trump 2nd Term Looks Likely.

Left-wing media is panicking at the prospect of Donald Trump winning the 2024 presidential election because the former President intends to curb the power of federal agencies such as the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) as well as launch investigations into the Biden family‘s dubious financial affairs.

A report published in the Guardian has raised the possibility of Trump’s second term being “openly authoritarian” and a throwback to either 1970s Latin America or 1930s Europe – a comparison used both before Trump was elected in 2016 and throughout his first presidential term.

“I’m hard pressed to find any candidates anywhere who are so open that they would use the power of the state to go after critics and enemies,” argues Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, who, however, fails to comment on the 91 indictments filed against the former President.

“This is one of the most openly authoritarian campaigns I’ve ever seen,” he adds.

The report is similarly spooked by the prospect of “Project 2025,” which aims to replace federal employees inside agencies like the FBI and DOJ and branches of government such as the Department of Homeland Security and Education with conservative-minded individuals.

It is suggested even former DOJ officials are “appalled” by the project. Donald Ayer, a former U.S. Deputy Attorney General, says, “Project 2025 seems to be full of a whole array of ideas that are designed to let Donald Trump function as a dictator, by completely eviscerating many of the restraints built into our system.”

Others are concerned that Trump would pardon January 6 protestors like Jacob Chansley, who was released early from federal prison after it was shown by Tucker Carlson that he was escorted into the U.S. Capitol by police officers. Trump is “promising them pardons for the insurrection. This is about giving power to an autocrat and letting his id take over,” asserts Columbia University researcher and CNN historian Timothy Naftali.

The 45th President is storming ahead of incumbent President Joe Biden in the polls less than 12 months before the 2024 presidential election. Trump is currently on course to receive over 300 Electoral College votes, way above the required 270 to become President.

UK Net Migration Reaches Record High… Again.

Net migration to the United Kingdom (UK) has reached a “new record high” under the so-called Conservative Party, according to the latest figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

The UK – which has a total land mass smaller than many American states, and a far higher population density – saw net migration rise to a staggering 745,000 in the year ending December 2022, followed by another 672,000 in the year ending June 2023.

The previous estimate for the year ending December 2022 was 606,000. The revised figure of almost 150,000 arrivals has been attributed to “unexpected patterns” in the behavior of migrants.

The deputy director of migration statistics, Jay Lindop, asserts that “Net migration to the UK has been running at record levels, driven by a rise in people coming for work, increasing numbers of students and a series of world events.”

Indeed, the Conservative Party, led by social liberal Rishi Sunak, has issued more than 1.1 million residency visas to those either inside or outside of the European Union looking to work or study in the country over the past 12 months.

Sunak’s party, despite continuously promising to cut migration, has encouraged millions of people to migrate to the UK since it came into office under anti-Brexit former Prime Minister David Cameron in 2010. And, at current rates, will not reduce net migration to pre-Covid pandemic levels of around 374,000 until at least 2027.

The majority of the party’s rhetoric and focus has been on “stop[ping] the boats” carrying tens of thousands of illegal migrants across the English Channel. Yet, even then, it was unsuccessful and was recently blocked from sending several hundred asylum seekers to Rwanda by the UK Supreme Court.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Accused of Sexual Assault.

Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been accused of sexually assaulting a former colleague in a legal action brought under the Adult Survivors Act, initially passed to help writer E. Jean Carroll bring a case against Donald Trump.

State Supreme Court filings reported on by The Messenger state the plaintiff, currently being kept anonymous, “was sexually assaulted by Defendant Eric Adams in New York, New York in 1993 while they both worked for the City of New York.”

Mayor Adams was serving in the New York City Police Department, where he brags he “kicked… crackers’ ass,” in 1993. The filing against him also lists the NYPD and the Guardian Association of the NYPD as defendants.

The Democrat is already facing intense legal scrutiny, with federal investigators raiding the home of his fundraising chief, Brianna Suggs, amid allegations he received illegal campaign contributions from Turkish businessmen, apparently in the belief they would be rewarded with city contracts.

WATCH: Farage Clashes with YouTuber Nella Rose Over Immigration on Reality Show.

Nigel Farage stood his ground against Nella Rose when confronted over his stance on immigration by Nella Rose on jungle-based reality show I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, with the YouTube personality, who is black, accusing the Brexit champion of “want[ing] us gone!”

“Apparently you’re anti-immigrants,” Rose said to Farage, prompting Farage to ask: “Who told you that?”

“Oh, the Internet,” Rose responded confidently.

“Oh, well there we are then, it must be true,” Farage quipped.

“OK, well, why don’t black people like you?” she pressed on, with Farage answering she would be “amazed” at the number who do.

“If you came with me through South London, you’d be astonished,” he said.

“What were you doing in South London, Nigel?” she asked, seeming amazed a white person would have any business there.

“Well, I’m there every day,” he told her.

Rose continued to hector the Brexiteer, who insisted he was not “anti-immigrant” but did not believe immigration could continue with the unprecedented numbers.

“I’m one of the numbers!” Rose exploded.

“So that’s it, then? Should it be five million a year? Ten million a year?” Farage asked. “[S]ince 2000, the British population has increased by 10 million,” he explained.

“Good thing!”

“Good thing, unless you want a [family doctor] appointment,” Farage answered.

Rose insisted Britain would collapse without immigrants and people of immigrant descent, and told Farage: “You want us gone!”

Farage refused to yield, however, telling her “stop it” and pointing out she was “not listening to a single word I’m saying.”
