REVEALED: Attorney Prosecuting Trump in Manhattan Took THOUSANDS in DNC Cash.

Matthew Colangelo, one of the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ)’s top attorneys, who forewent a white-shoe law firm career to instead work for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, received at least $12,000 by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for “consulting” services in 2018. The former Biden government attorney delivered opening remarks in former President Donald J. Trump‘s Manhattan-based hush money trial and has handled a portion of the questioning during witness testimony.

The National Pulse reported last week that Colangelo has been linked to partisan lawfare campaigns against conservative political groups and Republican lawmakers as far back as 2011. House Republicans are currently investigating Colangelo over his past work and possible ongoing communications with the Biden Justice Department that could conflict with his prosecution of Trump.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) data indicates the DNC paid Colangelo in two $6,000 installments on January 31, 2018. The distributions were reported as fees for “Political Consulting.” At the time of the payments, Colangelo had yet to join the Justice Department and was serving as the deputy assistant attorney general for social justice under then-New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. Colangelo, interestingly, succeeded Alvin Bragg in the role with the New York AG‘s office when Bragg was promoted to chief deputy attorney general.

After Schneiderman was forced to resign as New York’s Attorney General following sexual assault allegations, Colangelo continued to serve under his successor, Barbara Underwood. It was with Underwood and her successor, Letitia James, that Colangelo began working on several investigations into then-President Donald Trump. On the day Joe Biden was sworn in as President, Colangelo moved to the U.S. Department of Justice as acting associate attorney general.

Illegals Descend on Statehouse Demanding Documentation Ahead of U.S. Elections.

Dozens of illegal aliens have gathered near the floor of the Michigan statehouse, chanting, “What do we want? Drivers’ licenses! When do we want them? Now!” Illegals could obtain driver’s licenses under guidance issued by former Democratic Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley from 1995 to 2008, but a Republican successor reversed this. Democrat lawmakers in the Great Lake State have been promising to give them licenses again for some time, but slow progress is causing impatience.

The National Pulse has recorded several illegal alien drivers who have killed people in its regular migrant crime round-ups. Kurt Englehart, an adviser to Democrat Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, was killed by an illegal alien driver in Nevada in April. Alex Wise, a 10-year-old Texan boy, was run down and killed by an illegal alien driver who had previously been deported six times in February.

Illegal aliens organizing to demand driver’s licenses, seemingly with no fear of detention and deportation, pose a risk to election integrity as well as public safety. Nonprofit Forge Organizing has boasted illegal or so-called “undocumented” migrants “tipped the scale of power in the 38th and 103rd districts” in Michigan, “providing Democrats with a slim, one-seat majority in the House, flipping the seats that flipped the legislature.”

While the nonprofit credited this to “electoral organizing,” there is evidence illegals participate directly in federal and state elections in the U.S., even when this is technically unlawful. They are three times more likely to vote Democrat when they do.

They also alter electoral politics indirectly by influencing redistricting.

The New York Times Wants You to EAT the Cicadas.

The New York Times is using this year’s surfacing of a trillion cicadas to indoctrinate its readership into the joy of eating bugs. In an article entitled “A Trillion Cicadas, They’re What’s for Dinner,” the publication does its best to make eating insects seem appealing and inevitable.

The piece begins with a profile of chef Joseph Yoon, who owns a business called Brooklyn Bugs, and his menu. “For his ramp and cicada kimchi, he leaves the insects whole and intact in their crackling shells so they’re slowly permeated with a spicy fermenting juice, and serves it with a wobble of soft tofu and warm rice,” the Times writes, using descriptive language designed to evoke a meal that normal people might actually want to eat.

Although the Times concedes that “eating insects is often sensationalized, trivialized or framed as a source of cheap protein for an end-of-the-world scenario,” it is eager to remind us that “for about two billion people who regularly eat insects around the world, it’s one of our oldest and most ordinary foods.” Like seafood? Then you should love the bugs, says the Times.

“In fact, cicadas are so closely related to lobster that the Food and Drug Administration has issued reminders to avoid them if you have a shellfish allergy. ‘They’re both arthropods,’ said Tad Yankoski, an entomologist at the Missouri Botanical Garden. ‘But only one’s a luxury, why is that?'”

Critics have long contended that a key part of the so-called “Great Reset” planned by the international globalist elite is to force Westerners to abandon traditional food sources in favor of things like insects and artificial, lab-grown meat. Last year, Tyson Foods announced it was partnering with Dutch company Protix to build a new facility to produce bugs en masse for the American market.

EXC: U.S. State Media DELETES Pro-Biden ‘Fact Check’ After Rep. Gaetz Exposes Propaganda in National Pulse Exclusive.

The taxpayer-funded Voice of America (VOA) media outlet has removed a post that spread Biden government disinformation against Representative Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) investigation into the status of U.S. troops stationed in Niger, The National Pulse can reveal.

On April 26, The National Pulse was also first to report on a letter Rep. Gaetz sent to VOA’s acting director, John Lippman, demanding they remove a post that insinuated the Florida Republican’s Niger report was Russian disinformation.

“Our Polygraph.info post concerned the article from BreakThrough News in which you were quoted and not your quote itself. That is why our reporter did not call your office,” acting director Lippman wrote in a letter responding to Gaetz. Despite initially trying to cover for his taxpayer-funded organization’s mistake, Lippman conceded: “In hindsight, we should have. We did not intend the story to be accusatory of you and apologize if you felt that it was.”

“We have removed the post from our website and will be taking corrective action so that our writing is more specific when calling into question the content of published reports,” the VOA acting director continued. He concluded: “We don’t want people who may be quoted in the original articles to be inadvertently tarred with the same brush.”

The post is now simply a blank page that reads, “The story at this URL is undergoing further editing.

While the concession from VOA marks a win for rolling back government agencies and publicly-funded programs that spread Biden regime propaganda, it does fall short of addressing some of Rep. Gaetz‘s specific objections. Lippman does not acknowledge the fact that VOA made claims stating the State Department and Pentagon have been engaged in “continuing talks” with the Niger government, something the Congressman’s investigation found to be false.

Additionally, the letter did not address his outlet’s false denial of poor equipment conditions and lack of troop rotations for American soldiers stationed in the African country.

Fani Willis’s Lover, Nathan Wade, Calls Their Sordid Affair ‘American As Apple Pie.’

Former Fulton County, Georgia, special prosecution Nathan Wade spoke publicly for the first time about his relationship with District Attorney Fani Willis in a television interview on Sunday. “Workplace romances are as American as apple pie,” he said, defining his romantic affair with Willis, which forced his resignation from her prosecution of former President Donald J. Trump and over a dozen others over allegations they interfered in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.

“I regret that that private matter became the focal point of this very important prosecution,” Wade said in the interview with ABC News’s Linsey Davis. He added: “This is a very important case. I hate that my personal life has begun to overshadow the true issues in the case.”

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled in March that because of their workplace romance — and concerns of impropriety — either Willis or Wade would have to resign from the state RICO prosecution against Trump and others. Within hours of the decision, Wade submitted his resignation.

In the interview on Sunday, Wade admitted he should have considered breaking off the relationship, or at least putting it on pause because of the ethical problems it raised.

“I’ll concede that that could have been an approach,” Wade said, before defending his decision not to end or pause his romance with Willis. “But there again, when you are in the middle of it, these feelings are developing, and you get to a point where the feelings are, are so strong that, you know, you start to want to do things that really are none of the public’s concern.”

Both Willis and Wade face ongoing ethics complaints as well as additional state investigations into the nature of their relationship and whether it resulted in the abuse of public funds and other state resources.

Britain Has Only Deported 0.5% of Illegal Boat Migrants.

Britain’s Home Office has managed to remove just 155 of the 29,437 illegal arrivals from last year, according to figures brought to light by the Freedom of Information Act. The UK currently has a “conservative” government, though the governing Conservative Party has governed to the center-left for the past 14 years.

Operation Vector, devised to tackle the escalating migration crisis, kicked off last week with dawn sweeps apprehending asylum seekers for transfer to immigration removal centers pending deportation to Africa. Nevertheless, Home Office legal teams are girding for anticipated legal appeals, with an internal forecast predicting up to 75 percent of migrants could be successful in judicial reviews halting their expulsion.

Last Wednesday saw a single-day record for this year, with 711 migrants crossing the Channel. Critics of the government’s handling of the situation, such as Alp Mehmet, chair of Migration Watch, labeled the 2023 removal numbers as ‘disgraceful’ and urged for stronger deterrent measures.

The Home Office emphasized its commitment to routine deportations, noting that it had removed 26,000 individuals with no legal right to remain in the UK and planning to launch Rwanda-bound flights within nine to eleven weeks.

Jack Smith Admits Evidence Tampering in Mar-a-Lago ‘Documents’ Case.

Biden regime Special Counsel Jack Smith has acknowledged that the order of classified documents related to a case involving former President Donald Trump may have been altered after being seized by the FBI. The admission came as a response to a plea by the legal team of one of Trump’s co-defendants for a case delay due to complications in pinpointing the roots of certain documents. The FBI had seized 33 boxes of documents during a search at Mar-a-Lago in August 2022.

Previously, prosecutors had stated to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that these boxes were exactly as they were seized. However, they have since confessed that this is not consistent with earlier offered details. The Government stated, “There are some boxes where the order of items is not as in the associated scans.”

Trump’s defense is ready to argue that these documents were stored in chronological order in the White House when Trump received them. They believe the staff packed them up and sent them to Mar-a-Lago unknowingly of their classified nature.

“Prosecutors and investigators should never tamper with or alter evidence in their possession, including the order of documents in a box because one never knows what may become relevant or crucial to a court or jury later in a case,” Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Just The News.

The case revolving around Trump’s classified documents is scheduled to commence on May 20. Both parties agree that an extension might be necessary before court proceedings can start.

Far-Left MeidasTouch Website Bemoans RNC Ouster of ‘Normie’ Charlie Spies.

The far-left MeidasTouch Network – linked to Jeffrey Epstein associates as well as alleged sex trafficker P. Diddy – has bemoaned the ouster of establishment lawyer Charlie Spies after The National Pulse highlighted Spies’s history of anti-Trump activity.

Ron Filipowski, the network’s Editor-in-Chief, tweeted on Sunday morning, “Charlies Spies is out at the RNC. The last normie has left the building.

Spies was finally removed from his recently appointed Republican National Committee lead counsel position, after two months of internal fighting over the matter. The National Pulse understands that Spies was, in fact, fired upon President Donald J. Trump’s orders several weeks ago, though staffers waited until after the recent RNC Spring Forum at Mar-a-Lago to carry out his orders.

Filipowski’s accurate description of Spies as a “normie” underscores the former Bush and DeSantis lawyer’s closer political connections to the left of American politics than the MAGA right.

Spies, a personal friend of Marc Elias, was the first person to call for the U.S. government to investigate Donald Trump back in 2016. He even tweeted his congratulations to Joe Biden, and repeatedly claimed the 2020 election was free and fair, with no rigging, nor cheating.

3-Year-Old Shot Dead in D.C. Gunfight.

A three-year-old girl was killed in what police have labeled an “exchange of gunfire” on Friday night in the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C. Identified as Ty’ah Settles, the child was in a car with a family member at the time of the incident. The incident occurred close to the local police station.

Preliminary investigations by the Metropolitan Police Department indicate that the child was not the intended target, said the department’s Commander, LaShay Makal, during a press briefing. As yet, neither a motive for the incident nor any suspect has been clearly known. Multiple shell casings were found between the 2200 and 2400 blocks of Hartford Street, SE.

The news follows D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser gloating to the press this week about how there had not been a murder in the city in seven days. Just last week, Bowser outright refused to meet with the family of three murdered men.
