Reporter Shot Dead in Philly Home Defended Soft-on-Crime District Attorney.

Josh Kruger, a progressive activist and reporter who defended the soft-on-crime policies of District Attorney of Philadelphia Larry Krasner, was murdered in his own home Monday morning. Responding to reports of a shooting around 1:30 a.m., police found Kruger, 39, with seven gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen. He was declared deceased at 2:13 a.m.

Kruger described himself as a “he/him” on his X bio, as well as declaring his HIV positive status. He previously worked for the City of Philadelphia.

In a July essay for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Kruger criticized popular convenience store chain Wawa for citing “safety concerns” as the reason for a series of store closures in the city. The store closures, he argued, were driven by corporate greed and inaction by the Philadelphia police department rather than the Soros-backed District Attorney’s policy of not prosecuting “many low-level crimes like shoplifting.”

Critics on social media pushed back against Kruger, arguing District Attorney Larry Krasner had allowed crime to spiral out of control and ruin the city. Kruger dismissed the criticism in a post on X (formerly Twitter) saying, “…just because Larry Krasner keeps winning in landslides doesn’t mean Philly is a heap of cinders and ashes no matter how much people say. Like the rest of the country we are dealing with upticks in crime.”

Philadelphia has been plagued by petty crime under District Attorney Krasner. The Pennsylvania state legislature attempted to impeach and remove Krasner from office in 2022 but their efforts were blocked by a ruling from the state’s Commonwealth Court. Last week the city suffered two days of riots and looting after a judge dismissed charges against a police officer accused of killing Eddie Irizarry.

Hungary’s Orban Pours Cold Water on Ukraine Joining the European Union.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has suggested the European Union’s plans to initiate negotiations for Ukraine’s accession to the bloc this year are going nowhere, due to longstanding issues with Ukraine’s repression of its Hungarian minority and the fact it is actively at war.

Orban said it is unrealistic to begin the accession process with a warring Ukraine, not least because the full extent of its effective territory is impossible to determine.

Importantly, the EU has a mutual defense clause, similar to but slightly vaguer than the NATO mutual defense clause, which raises the prospect of European Union member-states being obliged to join the war on Ukraine’s side – without America – if it enters the bloc.

Orban explained that Hungary’s parliament would need to approve Ukrainian EU membership, and he did not feel a strong desire within the chamber to do so within the next two years, as long and difficult questions still need to be answered.

Hungary’s skepticism towards Ukraine’s EU membership is rooted in the rights of the ethnic Hungarian minority in the Transcarpathia region of western Ukraine; a product of multiple border shifts throughout the 20th century.

Like the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine, they have been subjected to what the Hungarian government regards as poor treatment, with restrictions imposed on their native language being used in schools, and Hungarians harassed and even arrested by the secret services for such transgressions as singing the Hungarian anthem at cultural events.

Orbán’s government recently announced it will not support Ukraine on any international issue until the language rights of the Hungarian minority are restored.

WATCH: Polish Border Guards Forcefully Repel Migrants As Govt Rebukes EU.

Poland’s government has published video of Middle Eastern migrants attempting to violently breach their border, being repelled with tear gas while trying to pelt border guards with improvised missiles and felled trees.

“Defending the inviolability of the border is an obligation, but also the right of every state,” wrote the Ministry of National Defense on Monday, rebuking those in the European Union who have criticized a robust approach to securing borders.

“Soldiers and service officers defending the Polish border faced and still face a real threat,” they added.

The Polish approach contrasts sharply with that of the Joe Biden regime in America, which has sued state governments in Arizona and Texas to remove border barriers made from shipping containers and water buoys, and had federal agents have cut razor wire installed by state authorities to allow migrants through.

Poland has completed over 155 miles of Trump-style border wall to reinforce its frontier.

German Populist Leader ‘Debanked’.

Tino Chrupalla, a member of the German parliament and co-chairman of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, says he has been “debanked” due to his political affiliations and status.

Chrupalla claimed in an interview last week “on Friday, my account was terminated by Postbank because I am an AfD member,” before going on to explain that it further proves “how [the AfD] are excluded, discredited” and that people are no longer able to express their opinions freely.

Postbank’s decision to remove Chrupalla’s account would be in contravention of German federal law, which, according to a landmark case adjudicated by the Federal Court of Justice, refers to the practice as an “inadmissible interference in the private sphere.”

One German news outlet further explains that “conservatives, right-wingers, and identities have had their bank accounts canceled for years… Left-wing networks and journalists are already working diligently to nationalize repression.”

Debanking came into the political mainstream across the world after Brexit leader Nigel Farage had his private bank accounts terminated by Coutt’s bank in the summer because of his friendship with former President Donald Trump and Tennis player Novak Djokovic, among other trivial reasons.

DeSantis Influencers Say They’ll Write-In Pro-Abortion, Anti-Gun RFK If Trump Wins Primary.

A number of Ron DeSantis supporters have taken to social media to announce they will vote for Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. before they unify behind Donald Trump, despite the DeSantis camp pitching the Florida Governor as a facsimile of Trump with less “baggage” and more “effective” administration.

“Since I have been reliably told for months by Trump supporters that they would write him in even if DeSantis or anyone else won the GOP primary, it’s good to have permission to support RFK in the general if DeSantis doesn’t win the GOP primary,” wrote DeSantis booster Scott Morefield, a blogger for the Townhall.com website. Townhall is owned by the Salem Media Group, which also owns the pro-DeSantis RedState, Twitchy, and other legacy “Conservative Inc” blog sites.

Other DeSantis supporters were quick to agree with Morefield, raising questions as to whether or not they are, in fact, Republican voters at all. Many pro-DeSantis activists on social media are anonymous, newly-created accounts.

“You nailed it Scott. These are the new rules,” said one.

“As long as Trump is not supporting the primary winner, neither am I if it’s him,” seethed another.

“They’re both Liberals, so I might as well go for a honest liberal who can’t be easily corrupted,” concurred a third.

Others, however, weren’t so keen on the new tactic of embracing the pro-abortion, anti-Second Amendment RFK Jr, with user John Ament replying, “We all knew you were a liberal.”

RJK Jr. has won some admirers on the right for his opposition to the medical establishment – including DeSantis himself – he is a fundamentally left-wing politician who supports greater gun control, and shared an article in favor of repealing the Second Amendment altogether. RFK Jr. has stated he would not support abortion restrictions after three months because it is “always the woman’s right to choose” whether to kill her unborn baby.

RFK Jr. is also on record as saying he believes he would take more votes from Trump than Biden as a third-party candidate.

Newt Gingrich Ratioed for Defending McCarthy, RINOs Against Matt Gaetz.

Former Speaker and thrice-married adulterer Newt Gingrich has been ratioed on X (formerly Twitter) for attacking America First conservative Matt Gaetz as a “destructive, irresponsible anti-Republican” and suggesting he should be expelled from the House Republican Conference.

Gingrich, 80, wrote that trying to expel the Florida Congressman from the House of Representatives altogether “may be a step too far” – if only because such a move would require a two-thirds majority in the House – but added that “expelling him from the House Republican Conference and eliminating all his committee assignments and all resources other than those an individual member is entitled to would be a rational response to his suicidal efforts to cripple the House GOP.”

Conservatives soon leaped to the defense of Gaetz, who has been challenging Speaker Kevin McCarthy for refusing to pursue an impeachment of Joe Biden in a meaningful way while failing to reduce aid for Ukraine or increase border security.

“Mr. Gingrich, The America First Patriots see this a lot differently. We are tired of seeing our hard earned money going to countries that do not deserve one red penny while we have homeless vets and people living on our streets,” said one X user.

“Memo to Gingrich: Maybe if you and your old guard cronies hadn’t set the precedent for failed promises, the America First Patriots wouldn’t feel so desperate,” said another.

“McCarthy LIED, he broke the deal, he needs to go, NOT Gaetz,” added a third.

Donald Trump is a strong supporter of Rep. Gaetz, telling The National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam he is “a great guy,” “wonderful person,” and admirably “strong” in the face of concerted attacks in a recent interview.

And This Year’s Nobel Prize Goes To… The mRNA Vaccine Creators!?

The scientists who developed the mRNA technology used in the Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines were awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in Sweden on Monday morning.

The Nobel Prize committee gave the prestigious award to University of Pennsylvania scientists Drew Weissman and Katalin Kariko as a result of their contribution to “the unprecedented rate of vaccine development during one of the greatest threats to human health in modern times.”

The committee further praised the scientist’s “groundbreaking findings” that “fundamentally changed our understanding of how mRNA interacts with our immune system.”

MRNA and other COVID vaccines have been administered over 13 billion times across the world since the coronavirus pandemic and were widely acknowledged as “experimental” throughout the scientific community.

There have been countless registered adverse effects linked to the vaccines, including menstrual disturbances, Tinnitus, severe neurological complications, Bell’s palsy, strokes, and even “reprogramming” children’s immune systems.

The pair will share the 11 million Swedish Krona (1,000,000) prize money between them. The scientists were also awarded a $2.2 million Breakthrough Prize in 2021 for their research.

UK Health Service Will Give A Year of Paid Leave for ‘Male Menopause’.

A National Health Service (NHS) Trust in the UK is allowing employees to take up to one year of paid leave to deal with the problems and embarrassment of “male menopause.”

East Midlands Ambulance Service Managers suggest that portable fans and heaters should be available to those dealing with male menopause, as well as advising them to return to work slowly and seek advice for the problem. The symptoms include, among other things, anxiety, depression, low libido, and hot flushes, according to NHS guidance.

The deputy director of human resources at the Trust stated, “We provide occupational sick pay for up to 12 months based on service length. That will support absences which may result from symptoms of the andropause or where time off for medical appointments is required.”

“As well as having menopause guidance we also support anyone within the organisation who is affected directly or indirectly by the andropause [male menopause],” she added.

Meanwhile, the British General Medical Council recently updated its internal policies to suggest that menopause does not only impact women, instead using the non-female-specific term “individuals experiencing the menopause.”

Pentagon Begs Congress for MORE Ukraine Cash as Biden Warns of ‘Urgency’. 

Joe Biden and his Pentagon are both warning and begging the U.S. Congress over the stream of arms and financial support for the Ukrainian war machine, with the President insisting that U.S. aid “cannot under any circumstance” be interrupted. The Pentagon has admitted that the U.S. has “completely run out of long-term funding for Kyiv through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which provides money to contract for future weapons.”

“We have already been forced to slow down the replenishment of our own forces to hedge against an uncertain funding future,” said Pentagon Comptroller Michael McCord. “Failure to replenish our military services on a timely basis could harm our military’s readiness.”

“The vast majority of both parties – Democrats and Republicans, Senate and House – support helping Ukraine and the brutal aggression that is being thrust upon them by Russia,” Biden himself insisted this weekend. “We have time, not much time, and there’s an overwhelming sense of urgency.”

Further aid for Ukraine may struggle to pass the House of Representatives, where America First conservatives appear unwilling to agree to send further assistance to the Eastern European country as part of any deal Speaker Kevin McCarthy may broker with House Democrats, especially while the southern border remains unprotected.

It has been revealed that U.S. aid for Ukraine is being used not only for humanitarian and military purposes, but to prop up the Ukrainian economy more generally, with Americans funding the salaries of almost 60,000 public officials, subsidizing Ukrainian businesses, and purchasing seed and fertilizer for Ukrainian commerical farmers.

Feds Considered Sex Trafficking Charge for Hunter Biden.

Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors considered the possibility of charging Hunter Biden for crimes involving sex trafficking, according to emails from an IRS whistleblower made available to the public by the House Ways and Means Committee.

The DOJ‘s Tax Division prosecutor, Jack Morgan, highlighted nine instances of communication between President Joe Biden’s son and various prostitutes in an email to U.S. attorney Lesley Wolf in 2020, in which Hunter seemingly coordinated their travel across state lines.

The email points to two “likely” escorts who traveled across the country, one flying from Los Angeles to Boston and another from New York to Boston. A third woman is reported by Morgan as a self-described “hooker,” with indication that she flew from New Jersey to New York.

Morgan attached the email to multiple other anonymous individuals under the subject “Mann Act” – federal legislation that has forbidden the transportation of “any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose” in the United States since 1910.

The correspondence was given to the House Committee by whistleblower Joseph Ziegler, who previously mentioned that a number of women allegedly crossed state lines as prostitutes for Hunter Biden in a congressional  testimony earlier this year.

Ziegler stated regarding the potential charges, “I don’t know what they ended up doing with them. I know there was an effort at some point to compile them, but I don’t know what ultimately happened with them.”
