The German federal police registered over 15,000 illegal migrants last month, representing around 500 people arriving every day, and the highest number since the beginning of the year and a whopping 40 percent increase compared to July.
More than 71,000 illegal migrants have arrived in Germany – a country half the size of Texas – this year. This trend has continued since 2022, in which just under 100,000 entered the country. Of the migrants entering illegally, Syrians, Afghans, and Turks comprise around 50 percent.
“We have been warning of this development for months. Nothing has happened so far. This behavior is irresponsible. States and municipalities are abandoned by the federal government,” argued Heiko Teggatz, chief of the German Federal Police Union.
“Nancy Faeser [Germany’s Federal Minister of the Interior and Community] is the only one who could curb illegal migration by introducing stationary border controls. But she obviously doesn’t even think about doing anything,” he added.
This is, however, only illegal migration. A staggering 2.67 million migrants arrived in Germany in 2022, the highest number since records began in the early 1950s. Yet, that has not deterred the government from announcing new migration agreements, which expedite the application process for people from Georgia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Kenya, and Morocco to move to Germany.

The far-left Salon.com website has published an alarmist article slamming President Donald Trump’s plan to replace 50,000+ federal workers, calling the move to staff the government a “conspiracy” while implicating the center-right Heritage Foundation think-tank in what it calls a “dark right-wing network”.
In reality, the idea of the President of the United States picking his own federal workforce instead of relying on the established “deep state” is hardly controversial, though Trump’s plans go further than previous presidents.
Areeba Shah – the author of the Salon.com piece – cites supposed “democracy experts” who point to Heritage’s Project 2025 plan as “…an authoritarian attempt to seize power by filling the federal government… with unwavering Trump supporters, which could potentially erode the country’s system of checks and balances.”
The reality couldn’t be more bland. Heritage is a fairly mundane D.C. think-tank, with no “extremist” tendencies, as Shah claims.
Government bureaucrats, however, are “important bulwarks of democracy,” according to Shah, who is a recent graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. In her own words, Areeba Shah’s job as a ‘journalist’ is to “…focus on far-right extremism,” adding, “as a reporter committed to examining issues through an equity lens, my work often highlights issues impacting historically marginalized communities.”
Prior to joining Salon, Shah worked for the far-left Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), which brags on their website that: “On Donald Trump’s first full day in the Oval Office, CREW sued him for violating the Emoluments Clauses.” Their newest project is to try and bar Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot for violating the 14th Amendment.

The Rosemary Hills Elementary School in Silver Spring, Maryland – an affluent suburb of Washington, D.C. – is telling parents that a mask mandate will be in effect for several classes impacted by exposure to three individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19. The masking mandate will last for 10 days, except when students are eating or drinking, according to the school.
A DC area elementary school — Montgomery County, Maryland — is reinstating a mask mandate — N95’s — for third graders over a few kids testing positive for covid. Here’s the letter. They’re coming with masks for your kids again. Get ready. Read this insanity. pic.twitter.com/LZs4N19XLL
Numerous studies have shown that pandemic mask mandates for children at school have caused developmental delays. The Speech and Learning Institute in North Palm Beach, Florida saw a 364 percent increase in adolescent patients struggling with speech development during the pandemic. A study from Spain suggests the learning loss caused by pandemic restrictions were mostly in vain as the use of “[Face Covering Masks] in schools showed no significant differences in terms of transmission.”
With summer vacation coming to a close, parents and students alike face growing concerns that school districts around the country will return to pandemic era mask and vaccine mandates as occasional COVID-19 infections occur. Last week, The National Pulse reported that a high school in Palm Beach County, Florida postponed a Friday night football game “out of an abundance of caution” in response to what they say was an outbreak of COVID-19.

“At least” 521 U.S. towns or cities have disbanded their police forces since 1972, according to Rice University Professor of Economics Richard T. Boylan, with the Associated Press (AP) claiming that “[g]enerally, crime rates were unchanged in towns that dropped their departments,” and arguing “[l]eaders of several towns said they’ve been happy with the change.”
But the Rice University study also states that when local police departments are disbanded it “…reduces the available information about cities’ crimes” making accurate reporting difficult. While crime rates may appear unchanged, the data itself is less reliable than prior to departmental closures.
Additionally, the study found that: “…disbanding police departments is associated with an increase in county sheriffs spending which offsets the city savings.”
“In the past two years, at least 12 small towns have dissolved their departments,” the AP reports, with Goodhue County (MN) Sheriff Marty Kelly calling the subject “scary,” and adding: “We are robbing Peter to pay Paul. And we’re not alone.”
At the heart of the problem is the exodus from law enforcement. Officer resignations were up 47% last year compared to 2019 — the year before the pandemic and Floyd’s killing — and retirements are up 19%. That’s all according to a survey of nearly 200 police agencies by the Police Executive Research Forum, a Washington, DC.-based think tank.
While anti-police activists and the corporate media champions such changes, residents aren’t as keen.
Ron Goebel, a retired accountant in Goodhue, told the AP: “People can kind of watch out for each other a little bit. We pretty much know our neighbors… [but as] you lose your schools, you lose your businesses and you lose your police force, how much longer can the town actually be viable as a town?”

The number of Ukrainians living abroad as refugees is increasing, and just 63 percent plan to return to their home country, placing the country’s economic and demographic future in jeopardy.
Research by the Centre for Economic Strategy (CES) puts the number of Ukrainian refugees who may never go home around 3.3 million, approaching a tenth of the pre-war population. The total number of Ukrainians living abroad as of the end of June 2023 is estimated at 5.6-6.7 million, up from 5.3-6.2 million people as of the end of 2022.
The CES attributes the increase in part to to Russian strategic missile strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure last winter and the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in June, which flooded swathes of southern Ukraine.
The longer the war drags on, the more refugees are being integrated into their host countries, and the less likely they are to return to a war-torn and corruption-riddled homeland. President Zelensky’s government has expressed concerns over “losing our workforce” to nations like Germany.

Violent riots were sparked in the Swedish city of Malmö on this week after an anti-Islamic activist publicly burned a copy of the Quran, requiring dozens of police officers to quell the unrest.
Swedish authorities said they were pelted with rocks by the rioters, who also set dozens of cars and an underground garage on fire. Crowds of predominantly young men in the notorious Rosengård district of Sweden’s third-largest city also burned tires and debris and threw electric scooters, bicycles, and barriers at the police. Several rioters were arrested as a result.
The burning was staged by Salwan Momika, a former Christian Iraqi refugee who has staged several similar protests throughout the country in recent months.
“I understand that a public gathering like this arouses strong emotions, but we cannot tolerate disturbances and violent expressions like those we saw on Sunday afternoon,” stated Petra Stenkula, a senior police officer.
“Regardless of the reason behind these riots, the car fires, the harassment, violence against police officers… regardless of the reason, I think that all Swedes find this completely unacceptable,” announced Swedish Prime Minister Elf Kristersson.
Sweden has come under intense pressure from Muslim countries to ban public burnings of the Quran, with Turkish President Recep Erdogan even threatening to stall the country’s admission into NATO such acts continue.
Denmark recently caved into similar demands and announced it will impose Islamic blasphemy laws on its citizens.

Members of Congress returned to Washington, D.C. this week with only sixteen legislative days to pass a temporary budget fix to avert a government shutdown on October 1st, when the new fiscal year begins. Congress is not expected to pass any of the twelve massive budget appropriations bills before government funding runs out; with the House and Senate instead expected to take up a Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the government funded while negotiations continue.
The House Freedom Caucus, comprising upwards of a quarter of the House Republican majority, is doubling down on calls for a return to pre-COVID spending levels in exchange for supporting Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his stop-gap funding measure. Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), a Freedom Caucus member, posted more expansive demands on X, stating:
“Gov’t funding hinges on whether or not the Establishment will continue bankrolling open borders, weaponized agencies, a woke Pentagon, & an escalation of the war in Ukraine.”
– Rep. Eli Crane, September 2023.
Senate Republicans appear at odds with their House colleagues, with Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) posting: “The federal government will shut down in less than a month unless a funding bill is passed by Sept. 30. That’s only 16 legislative days away (and even fewer for the House) under the current schedule. The House and Senate are in completely different universes when it comes to how lawmakers should fund federal agencies in both the short and long term.”
Cornyn is a rumored successor to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) whose struggles during several recent public appearances have sparked fresh health and leadership concerns.
Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to former President Donald Trump, called the funding fight, “…the most important legislative battle of the Biden presidency,” adding that if rank-and-file Republicans dig in and refuse to pass the blanket short-term funding bill, “…the Deep State expires at midnight on September 30th. After that, it’s up to Congress to decide which salaries, programs and activities to fund.”
Funding for the Deep State expires at midnight on September 30th.
After that, it’s up to Congress to decide which salaries, programs and activities to fund.
This is the most important legislative battle of the Biden presidency. And there isn’t a close second.
Negotiations over the Continuing Resolution are expected to take up much – if not all – of September, while the remainder of the legislative session will be dominated by the 12 budget appropriations bills that will fund the government in its entirety for the next fiscal year.

The European Union is projected to receive a stunning ONE MILLION asylum claims by the end of 2023, after the number of applications soared to more than 519,000 in the first six months of the year. Notably, these figures do not include the over four million Ukrainians who have fled to Western Europe since the war began last February.
The number of claims has skyrocketed over the past 24 months, and is approaching the height of the migration crisis of 2015/16, during which applications exceeded a million. This year has seen a 28 percent increase in claims compared to last year, which itself witnessed a 53 percent increase compared to 2021.
European nations do not have the processing capacity to handle the increase in applications, as the case backlog has also increased by 34 percent over the past six months.
Syrian nationals sent the largest number of applications, followed by other nationalities, including Afghanis, Turks, and Russians.
“Together, these parallel trends pose significant challenges to EU+ asylum and reception systems authorities, so much so that by June 2023, the EUAA was offering operational assistance to 13 Member States,” stated a press release by the European Union’s asylum agency.

France’s agriculture ministry is planning to ban the use of 21 meat terms, including “steak,” “ham,” and “fillet,” from labels on plant-based food products. If approved, France will have some of the world’s strictest laws regarding the use of meat terms on vegan food labels. The ban aims to address concerns about misleading labels and consumer trust, according to France’s agriculture minister, Marc Fesneau.
Jasmijn de Boo, Global CEO of ProVeg International, disagrees with the French government’s reasoning, stating that consumers are not confused and know what they are looking for in terms of animal-free food. The proposed code, which still requires approval by the European Commission, will prohibit the use of words associated with specific animal parts to market or describe processed plant protein products. A separate list of 120 terms, including “bacon” and “sausage,” will be allowed under certain conditions. If the decree passes, food makers will have three months to comply.
France’s proposed ban on meat terms for labeling plant-based foods renews a battle between farmers and the vegan food industry over labels. Last year, France’s top court stopped the ministry’s previous attempt to impose similar regulations, citing imprecise language. Similar laws have been passed in some U.S. states and South Africa, while Turkey has even banned the sale of vegan cheese entirely.

Editor-in-chief of The National Pulse Raheem Kassam joined Donald Trump Jr. for a new episode of the Triggered podcast, telling the 45th President’s son it is time to retire the moniker “Republicans In Name Only” (RINOs) in favor of “Conservatives Under Notional Terms” (CUNTs).
“You know, people like to say ‘RINOs’… I have a different phrase that I like to use for them, I wonder if you can figure out the acronym: It’s ‘Conservatives Under Notional Terms’.”
Don Jr. was both amused and enthusiastic: “So much better. Can we just please replace ‘RINOS’ with Conservatives Under Notional Terms? It’s so much better, it’s so much better,” he said.
“I know there’s five percent of the people that have a problem with language, and I get it… but we’ve got bigger things to worry about. It’s much better phraseology for, essentially the same thing – the same thing with an exclamation point,” he added, comparing it to the involuntary rebrand of Jeb Bush as Jeb! in 2016.
Kassam, for his part, argued his terminology was simply “more accurate” for the people being described.
“They’re not rhinos, are they? They’re not big scary creatures that actually make a dent in anything and can chase anybody off. They’re frauds, they’re phoneys – they’re Conservatives Under Notional Terms.”
