In a two-hour exclusive interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, President Vladimir Putin confirmed reporting by The National Pulse’s Raheem Kassam that an agreement to end the war with Ukraine was scuttled 18 months ago by former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Kassam wrote of the matter 17 months ago.
The Russian president alleged that Johnson dissuaded Davyd Arakhamia, leader of Ukraine’s ruling party, from signing the peace accord. Putin suggested the preliminary agreement had been reached in Istanbul after direct negotiations with Ukrainian officials.
Putin contended that although Mr. Arakhamia initially agreed to the document, pressure from the then UK Prime Minister led Ukraine to back off from the agreement. Putin said, “Arakhamia publicly stated to the world that we were ready to sign this document, but Mr. Johnson came and dissuaded us, saying it was better to fight Russia.” Putin also accused the US of instructing Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to reject any potential settlement.
The alleged peace deal, critical to halting the ongoing warfare, would have resulted in Ukraine abandoning its plans to join NATO in exchange for returning territories lost in clashes with Russia. These accusations have been categorically refuted by both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Arakhamia, raising further concerns over the protracted military conflict in the region.

Russian President Vladimir Putin sat down with host Tucker Carlson for an interview, giving Western audiences a rare look into how the Russian government sees events unfolding around the globe. When the interview was announced, Carlson drew swift condemnation from many Western political leaders and media personalities for the simple act of journalism. Several current and former European political leaders even threatened to place sanctions on the U.S. journalist for speaking with the Russian President.

Train derailments have increased in the year since the East Palestine, Ohio rail disaster, regulatory reports have revealed.
Derailments at the top five freight railroads rose by 13 percent during the first ten months of 2023, the most recent period for which data is available. Those freight companies include BNSF, Canadian National, CPKC, CSX Transportation, and Norfolk Southern — the operator whose trains derailed in East Palestine.
Legislation to address the issue — the Railway Safety Act — was introduced in the Senate in March 2023. However, the bill has faced strong opposition from railroad industry lobbyists who claim it would actually inhibit the introduction of new safety measures.
“These figures show the railroad industry’s safety standards are getting worse,” said bill co-sponsor Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH). “We can reverse the trend by passing the Railway Safety Act immediately.”
On February 3, 2023, 51 cars of a freight train operated by Norfolk Southern carrying hazardous materials derailed, resulting in a massive explosion, fires that lasted more than two days, and the spilling of 100,000 gallons of hazardous materials, including vinyl chloride, benzene residue, and butyl acrylate.
Despite a White House statement that Joe Biden planned to visit East Palestine this month, such a visit has yet to materialize.

Robert Hur, special counsel, has announced his decision not to charge former Vice President Joe Biden in relation to the mishandling of classified materials. Hur’s investigation found evidence indicating Biden “willfully retained” documents critical to national security after his vice presidency, while he was a private citizen.
“Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” the report explains, but says evidence “does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”
The report takes particular aim at Biden’s cognitive abilities, which have recently been underscored by his claims to have discussed the events of January 6th, 2021, with long-dead French President Francois Mitterand.
Biden’s memory, says the special counsel report, “was significantly limited.” It added: “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory… It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”
“In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (“if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?”), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (“in 2009, am I still Vice President?”). He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he “had a real difference” of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry, when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama.”
The refusal to prosecute Biden due to his age and poor cognitive function flies in the face of the persistent establishment talking points that “no one is above the law.” Indeed, in this instance, the special counsel appears to make the case that because no jury would prosecute Biden despite his obvious guilt, the case must be dropped.
The report also details how Biden leveraged the sensitive government information for profit, using notebooks he should not have had for a book published in 2017: “After the vice presidency, Mr. Biden kept these 2 classified notebooks in unsecured and unauthorized spaces at his Virginia and Delaware homes and used some of the notebooks as reference material for his second memoir, Promise Me, Dad, which was published in 2017.”
A ghostwriter is also said to have “found” classified material in a rental unit in Virginia, “in a badly damaged box surrounded by household detritus.”
The special counsel report goes further into Biden’s mental incapacity, adding: “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him – by then a former president well into his eighties – of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

During an appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday, Tara Setmayer, former CNN commentator and senior adviser to The Lincoln Project, said that third-party presidential candidates are “a threat to our democracy.”
“I think that third-party candidates are spoilers. I mean, history could potentially repeat itself again, and now more than ever, the idea of a third party is a threat to our democracy.” Setmayer remarked during a discussion about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent campaign.
Setmayer’s assertion that giving voters in a democracy more choices in elections is a threat to democracy is odd, as The Lincoln Project is, in its own words, “dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy.” Observers have noted, however, that the phrase “threat to democracy” is increasingly becoming a catchall used by globalists to describe anything with which they disagree and threatens the globalist power structure.
“You’ll see over the course of the next couple of months. Basically, everything is a threat to democracy,” National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam noted in a January interview with Steve Bannon. “The oxygen you breathe will be a threat to democracy, elections, casting your vote — that’s a threat to democracy. Every single thing that isn’t globalism writ large is a threat to democracy in their terms, in their words,” Kassam said.
In a speech marking the third anniversary of the Jan 6 riots, Joe Biden said that “democracy” is at stake in the 2024 presidential election, a sentiment echoed by Setmayer, who also said during her Wednesday MSNBC appearance that “Donald Trump is a threat to our democratic system.”
Today the left is arguing that third parties are “a threat to democracy.”

Democratic Party organizer Craig Callaway, former President of the City Council of Atlantic City, has been arrested for “depriving, defrauding, and attempting to deprive and defraud the residents of the state of New Jersey of a fair and impartially conducted election process by the fraudulent procurement, casting, and tabulation of ballots. “
The Justice Department accuses the 64-year-old Democrat of approaching Atlantic City residents and offering to pay them $30 to $50 to act as “authorized messengers” for voters who “supposedly wished to vote by mail” in 2022.
Once recruited, these “messengers” would bring Vote-By-Mail Applications to county officials and have them approved. However, instead of taking the mail-in ballots officials provided to the voters on the applications, as required by law, Callaway’s messengers “handed the ballots to Callaway or his subordinates.”
“Many of the mail-in ballots collected by Callaway or his subordinates were ultimately cast in the names of people who have confirmed that they did not vote in the 2022 General Election — either in person or by submitting a mail-in ballot — and that they did not authorize Callaway, his subordinates, or anyone else, to cast ballots for them,” the Justice Department says, confirming that “[m]any of these mail-in ballots were counted towards in the election.”
The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) censored social media users who questioned the integrity of mail-in voting in 2020.

The Joe Biden regime has classified elite getaways, including Martha’s Vineyard, as “low-income” in an effort to qualify them for an electric vehicle (EV) charger subsidy program under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The EV charger tax credit program was supposed to allocate subsidies to “low-income” or “non-urban” areas.
An examination of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) eligibility map identified several upscale areas deemed “low-income” by the regime, allowing them to receive EV charger subsidies. To be seen as “low-income,” areas must either have a poverty rate of over 20 percent, a median income beneath 80 percent of their wider metropolitan region’s median family income, or not be linked to any particular metro area.
Somehow, affluent areas such as the resort destination of Nantucket Island and the Vineyard Haven section of Martha’s Vineyard have met these criteria. Other wealthy areas identified as “low-income” include sections of Cape Cod, areas of New York City’s Upper East Side, Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, and Beverly Hills.
Biden’s former boss, Barack Obama, and his wife, Michelle, are among the best-known residents of Martha’s Vineyard, where they own an $11.75 million mansion and estate.

Model and actress Holly Valance says, “Everyone starts as a leftie,” before realizing “how crap” the Left’s ideas are. Valance’s remarks were made at the launch of a new, soft-right group in the UK.
When asked whether her political views had changed over time or if she had always been a conservative, Valance responded by paraphrasing the famous adage often misattributed to Winston Churchill. “I would say that everyone starts off as a lefty and then wakes up at some point after you start either making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, and then realize what crap ideas they all are,” she said, before adding: “And then you go to the right.”
In April of 2022, Valance drew criticism from fans for appearing in a photo with former President Donald Trump and Brexit leader Nigel Farage. The Australian actress and her husband, billionaire property developer Nick Candy, had joined the two populist political leaders for dinner at Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. Despite fans calling for a boycott of her music on social media, Valance did not back away from her political beliefs — attending the U.K. Conservative Party’s Summer Ball just two months later.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has logged one million encounters with illegal aliens since October 1st, the beginning of fiscal year 2024.
Sources say this is the earliest in the fiscal year the U.S. has ever hit one million migrant encounters, with a little under 910,000 encounters logged over the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Donald Trump argues the illegal immigration crisis and associated drug trafficking crisis are “poisoning the blood” of the country and require drastic action. A bill ostensibly aimed at curbing border crossings, negotiated in the Democrat-led Senate and endorsed by the Joe Biden regime, appears to be dead on arrival, however.
Trump and House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson, say the bill, which allocates far more funding to the Ukrainian military than the border, could actually increase immigration by expanding visas, work authorization for asylum seekers, and curbs on emergency declarations at the border.

Children’s applesauce pouches that gave lead poisoning to over 400 Americans were likely contaminated by a single Ecuadorian man, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Cinnamon grinder Carlos Aguilera, originally named by the Ecuadorian authorities, allegedly supplied the tainted applesauce suspected to have poisoned 413 Americans across 43 different states.
Lead is neurotoxic and particularly dangerous to children — the primary consumers of applesauce pouches. The FDA has long suspected the pouches were poisoned intentionally, likely because applesauce is sold by weight, and adulterating it with heavy metals like lead increases this.
Having previously vowed to hold the person or persons responsible for poisoning the applesauce accountable, the FDA is now concerned it could struggle to do so, as it “has limited authority over foreign ingredient suppliers who do not directly ship product to the U.S… because their food undergoes further manufacturing/processing prior to export.”
“[T]he FDA cannot take direct action with Negasmart or Carlos Aguilera,” the agency lamented — though it has pledged to work “closely” with Ecuadorian officials to try to secure a positive outcome.
