Putin Calls Up 150,000 for Military Service.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a directive for the regular spring conscription, ordering 150,000 citizens into military service, according to a document published on the Kremlin’s website on March 31. Every Russian man aged 18 or older must commit to a year of military service or undergo equivalent training during their higher education program.

This comes after Russia extended the age limit for conscription from 27 to 30 in July. The new law took effect on January 1, 2024. Even though conscription is still a contentious issue in Russia, it continues to be executed twice a year. With Russia’s war with Ukraine raging, 130,000 were called to service in the autumn conscription campaign and 147,000 last spring.

The latest conscription decree comes as Russia appears to be stepping up its efforts in Ukraine. Eastern Ukraine regions have seen a rise in casualties due to Russian strikes, with the city of Kharkiv being heavily targeted. Strikes also affected Lviv, a region far from the front lines where rescue operations are ongoing after cruise missile hits. Russia’s Belgorod region suffered casualties due to alleged Ukrainian shelling.

Independent verification of these military movements from either party has not been ascertained. These developments have sparked further international concern around the escalating tensions and impact on civilians living in these regions. Also adding to fears of the conflict’s escalation are the increasing incidents of Western interference in the war on behalf of Ukraine. Following his victory in the March presidential election, Putin warned such interference could spark a third world war.

Mysterious ‘Havana Syndrome’ Linked to Russian Energy Weapon.

An investigation into so-called “Havana Syndrome,” an affliction giving U.S. diplomats and intelligence agents symptoms similar to “early Alzheimer’s,” has linked the condition to Russian-directed energy weapons.

CBS News’s 60 Minutes, The Insider, and Der Spiegel spoke to intelligence officials claiming to suffer from Havana Syndrome, as well as Greg Edgreen, who led a Pentagon investigation into the “anomalous health incidents.”

“[C]onsistently there was a Russia nexus,” Edgreen said of the FBI agents, CIA officers, and others claiming to have come down with Havana Syndrome.

“There was some angle where they had worked against Russia, focused on Russia, and done extremely well,” he claimed.

One of the people CBS spoke to, identified as ‘Carrie,’ continues to work in counter-intelligence at the FBI, despite claiming she now suffers from Alzheimer’s-like symptoms and sometimes walks into walls and door frames.

“My baseline changed, I was not the same person,” she said, claiming the issues started after she perceived being hit by a “force” in her Florida home.

‘PUTIN’S BIGGEST VICTORY.’ 

Christo Grozev, a journalist for Latvia-based The Insider, run by anti-government Russian exiles, told CBS the “attacks” are likely linked to “Russian intelligence unit 29155” and are being carried out using acoustic energy beams at long range.

“If this is what we’ve seen with the hundreds of cases of anomalous health incidents, I can assure that this has become probably Putin’s biggest victory,” he said.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has dismissed the Havana Syndrome allegations as “baseless, unfounded accusations.”

“This is not a new topic at all; for many years the topic of the so-called ‘Havana Syndrome’ has been exaggerated in the press, and from the very beginning it was linked to accusations against the Russian side,” he said.

“But no one has ever published or expressed any convincing evidence of these unfounded accusations anywhere.”

Koch-Backed Open Borders Fiend Uses Baltimore Bridge Deaths to Push For More Immigration.

Progressive activists and open border advocates are using the death of several immigrants in the Baltimore Key Bridge collapse to push for increased immigration numbers in the United States. The deadly accident has claimed the lives of at least six immigrant workers.

Several non-profit groups that provide aid to illegal immigrants and push for increased immigrant numbers in the U.S. have seized on the deaths to push their open-borders agenda. “American workers got to sleep in their beds and not get hit by a cargo ship because immigrant workers went to work to fill potholes,” wrote David Bier in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Bier, who works for the pro-open borders Cato Institute, added: “Can’t wait for immigrants to rebuild this bridge bigger and better than ever.”

Other non-profit organizations like Global Refuge and United We Dream — which aid mass immigration through charitable programs — stressed the need for immigrant labor to help rebuild the collapsed bridge. “We know we can and we will rebuild,” Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, CEO of Global Refuge, said in a statement. He continued: “And we also know the contributions of our immigrant brothers and sisters will continue to be essential in that effort.”

Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, called the use of the immigrant worker deaths to promote mass immigration policies “kind of creepy.” He added: “Most of the people who do this are Americans. In this case, for any number of reasons, these guys were immigrants … There’s just no [immigration] policy implications to draw from this [tragedy].”

Responding to Bier’s posts on X, Oren Cass, who runs the pro-worker American Compass think tank, said: “It’s important to understand that for many libertarians, their open borders advocacy leading to a Qatar-like caste system in America is a feature, not a bug.”

Journalists Keep Stealing from Air Force One.

A White House staffer and a reporter recently rendezvoused to address a recurring issue of items being taken from Air Force One – the presidential plane, according to a report from POLITICO.

A problem was highlighted when the Office of the President noted that several branded items were missing from the press cabin following a trip in February. In response to the incident, an anonymous email was sent offering assistance for a “quiet return” of any items “accidentally” taken.

The individual, who took linens from the presidential plane, met with a White House representative near the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square, where the item was confidentially returned.

This petty theft seems not to be an isolated incident, as several sources have reportedly observed Air Force One being used as a source of souvenirs by the traveling press pack. Anonymous tips even identified a former major newspaper correspondent serving a dinner party on stolen Air Force One crockery.

Petty theft on official property doesn’t seem confined to the plane. The executive mansion also noted incidents in 2015 of disappearing items – some of significant value.

To discourage theft, the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, Kelly O’Donnell, reminded reporters not to take items from the aircraft, adding that items with Air Force One logos could be purchased outside the plane. However, sources indicate that collectible items available for purchase are not comparable in quality to onboard counterparts.

Biden Declares Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’.

President Joe Biden has proclaimed March 31, 2024, Easter Sunday, as America’s “Transgender Day of Visibility.” The proclamation insists upon the importance of understanding and acceptance for transgender people, whilst blasting “extremists” who are “proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families.”

The proclamation and its inherently immoral rhetoric also appear intentionally designed to offend Christians on Easter Sunday, leading to a backlash on social media.

The Biden White House also recently banned Christian symbols for the traditional Easter Egg hunt.

“You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back,” the President’s lengthy proclamation reads.

Joe Biden has consistently claimed to be Catholic, though most Americans appear to doubt his faith. Earlier this month, a Pew Research poll revealed that a mere 13 percent of Americans view Biden as very religious. On the other hand, 41 percent believe he is somewhat religious. Notably, 44 percent think he lacks substantial religious conviction.

China-Run TikTok is Spending MILLIONS Campaigning in American Elections.

The Chinese Communist-controlled social media titan TikTok has begun a $2.1 million ad campaign attempting to unseat its critics from public office in the United States. The move is in response to recent legislation that would force the sale of the app to an American-controlled company, or failing that, ban it from the United States. Similar bans have taken place in India, with almost zero deleterious effects on previous users.

TikTok, a product of the China-based parent company ByteDance, enjoys robust popularity, particularly amongst young Americans. Their new ad campaign is set to claim that five million small business owners in America are now reliant on the Chinese Communist-controlled application. The campaign is slated to run through mid-April, as reported by CNBC News.

TikTok has confirmed television ad reservations in key battle states, including Nevada, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, effectively holding U.S. politicians hostage using Chinese cash.

Beyond these, the states of Massachusetts, Minnesota, and New York have been identified for the ad campaign as well, according to information from AdImpact reviewed by CNBC.

Dems Demand Biden Fast-Track Citizenship for Millions of Illegals

Nearly 20 U.S. Senators have called on President Joe Biden to fast-track citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. They argue that those with no criminal history and longstanding connections to the country should be allowed to quickly achieve lawful immigration status, disregarding that their illegal entry into the country is, in fact, a criminal act.

The list of senators includes Democrats like John Fetterman, Michael Bennet, Dick Durbin, and Cory Booker, as well as independent Bernie Sanders.

In their letter, the group lauds the questionable economic contributions of illegal immigrants. The senators proposed several recommendations, including prompt executive action to allow spouses of U.S. citizens to work during their green card application process, as well as a more streamlined process for DACA recipients to move to nonimmigrant status.

“Deporting all such individuals—as former President Donald Trump has threatened to do if reelected—would devastate the American economy and destroy American families,” the Senators falsely claim.

The full letter is available to read, here.

In Biden’s America, FBI Agents Are Visiting Homes to Police Thoughtcrimes.

Joe Biden’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) appears to be carrying out house calls in response to social media posts deemed offensive. This effective policing of “wrongthink” or “thoughtcrime” has been displayed in multiple videos circulating on the internet and reviewed by The National Pulse.

In the first, three individuals presenting as FBI agents are filmed visiting Rolla Abdeljawad, who resides in Stillwater, Oklahoma, to discuss her social media posts. In the video, Abdeljawad requests and is declined identification from the visitors. The woman refuses to engage in conversation until she has an attorney present.

The agents reportedly acquired screenshots of her Facebook posts, which they insist is a routine safety measure. Abdeljawad’s later Facebook post confirms that they were in fact FBI agents.

“Just verified with local law enforcement that, the indivs who came to my home, really were FBI per their license plate. My lawyer will contact the OKC field office,” Abdeljawad wrote on Facebook, adding: “The lawyer did inform me that, these instances are now common but, the lawyer doesn’t believe that FB sent them the screenshots of my posts. Rather, it seems like a fishing expedition. I do not fear them. My only concern as, I told the cop is that, someone in my state will do something or that they would and then use my posts in a malicious attempt to “smear” me. Just *remember, I am a Muslim, an obligated protector of creation. I enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong.”

The second video features another social media user, Kam St. Martin, asserting FBI visits to her home over a tweet. In question is a post blaming a specific individual for allegedly drugging her cousin and leaving her half-naked body lifeless.

While it remains unclear whether these visits indicate an emergent policy of monitoring and responding to social media posts, these incidents bring up a debate on freedom of speech and raise questions on the balance between safety measures and personal rights.

House Dems Push Law to Stop Trump Getting Classified Briefings.

House Democrats are seeking to block former President Donald Trump from receiving classified briefings as the 2024 Republican presidential nominee – a bizarre and unprecedented attack on U.S. political norms.

The GUARD Act, introduced by Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ), would bar access to classified information by federal officials or candidates charged with crimes relating to obstructing official proceedings, endangering national security, mishandling classified materials, and other issues related to national defense.

The legislation marks the latest effort by Democrats to interfere in the 2024 presidential election on behalf of President Joe Biden, the Democrat incumbent. Rep. Sherrill’s bill, if it becomes law, could have potentially far-reaching impacts — including preventing former President Trump from reviewing classified evidence in his defense against Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution against him in Florida.

In an attempt to frame the legislation as other than a new front in the Biden government’s lawfare campaign against Trump, House Democrats insist its provisions would apply to other officials like disgraced Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ). The New Jersey Senate Democrat is being prosecuted on charges of corruption, bribery, and acting as an unregistered foreign agent on behalf of Egypt and Qatar.

Rep. Sherrill, however, failed to mention her New Jersey Democrat colleague even once in her press release announcing the legislation. Instead, she opted to focus entirely on how it would impact Trump. “Nobody is entitled or legally obligated to classified briefings — certainly not Trump, even if he is the Republican nominee for president,” Rep. Sherrill said.

Former President Trump has pleaded not guilty in Smith’s prosecution over allegedly mishandling classified materials stored at Mar-a-Lago — Trump’s private Palm Beach, Florida club and residence. The National Pulse previously reported that Rep. Sherrill — who bills herself as a national security hawk – has had numerous investments in Chinese-linked companies.

‘Valid ID’ Was Required For The Biden-Obama-Clinton Fundraiser in New York.

At President Joe Biden‘s fancy fundraiser in New York City, guests were made to present a valid form of photo ID to enter. Instructions received by guests note the name on their ID must match the name printed on their ticket. The identification and name-match requirements contrast with the Democrat Party’s opposition to similar requirements in U.S. elections.

Republican state lawmakers across the country have pushed for strong voter ID laws, ballot custody restrictions, and name-match requirements for years. They contend that these measures are critical to reducing instances of election fraud. The issue became especially prevalent after the 2020 presidential election when questions of ballot integrity in several states lingered. While national Democrats have dismissed Republican concerns as ‘unfounded,’ there have been several instances of Democrat politicians and activists facing prosecution for election fraud in subsequent contests since 2020.

NUMEROUS FRAUD PROSECUTIONS.

In Washington, D.C., a local Democrat elected official received a $500 fine for committing voter fraud during the 2020 election – voting in both the District of Columbia and the State of Maryland. Two New Jersey Democrats were indicted by the state’s Attorney General for multiple instances of election fraud in elections held in 2020 and 2021. Another former New Jersey Democrat party official was indicted for election fraud this past February relating to a mail-in-ballot scheme.

The results of a local run-off election for sheriff were voided by a Louisiana judge after serious evidence of the election was uncovered. Democrat Henry Whitehorn appeared to have narrowly defeated Republican Republican John Nickelson by a single vote; however, at least eleven ballots were shown to have been cast fraudulently. Whitehorn subsequently won the do-over election.

One of the most concerning instances of fraud has been the ongoing drama surrounding the mayor’s race in Bridgeport, Connecticut — which will now be held a third time after the initial two elections were voided due to fraud.

VOTERS SUPPORT ID REQUIREMENT.

Meanwhile, survey data from Pew Research shows that voters overwhelmingly support election integrity measures. A massive 81 percent of respondents said they favor requiring people to show government-issued photo identification to vote, and 82 percent said they favor requiring paper ballot backups for electronic voting machines. Seventy-two percent of those polled said they were in favor of making Election Day a national holiday, while 76 percent say early voting should be available for two weeks prior to Election Day.
