WATCH: Kamala Harris Claps Along Mindlessly to a Song Protesting Her Presence, Until…

Kamala Harris accidentally clapped along to a protest song directed against her while in Puerto Rico.

On Friday, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris visited the island territory, where her tour included a stop by a community center in Santurce. Unbeknownst to Harris, a group of locals used the occasion to sing a song protesting against her and the policies of the Biden government. Harris was seen clapping to the song — presumably not understanding the Spanish-language message — until an aide informed her over its true meaning.

When translated from Spanish to English, the song’s lyrics read: “We want to know, Kamala, what did you come here for? We want to know what you think of the colony.” Numerous protests took place across the island on the day of her visit, with locals gathering to voice their concerns about the island’s political status and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Aside from addressing the community center’s initiatives for local artists, Harris’ visit touched upon the federal aid dispatched to Puerto Rico in response to devastating hurricanes, earthquakes, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a speech delivered outside a rebuilt home in Canóvanas, the Vice President acknowledged, “There is still a lot of work to do.” Much of the reconstruction in the town was made possible through funding allocated by the Biden government in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

The visit to Puerto Rico comes as Joe Biden recently launched a program to reach out to Hispanic voters before the November general elections. However, despite being U.S. citizens, island residents cannot vote in presidential elections due to Puerto Rico’s territorial status. Increasingly, Hispanic voters have turned against the incumbent Democrat — with many citing the invasion of illegal immigrants at the U.S. southern border as the reason for abandoning Biden.

Every Democrat Senator Voted to Block The Laken Riley Act.

Senate Democrats have voted down the Laken Riley Act, which would have required U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest and detain illegal aliens responsible for thefts, burglary, larceny, or shoplifting until their deportation from the United States. They have also blocked moves to stop cities from becoming “sanctuaries” for illegals who face deportation, blocked efforts to stop the federal government from flying hundreds of thousands of migrants into undisclosed locations, and voted against ending fast past entry for illegals via the CBP One app.

“The biggest story in Congress should be that every Senate Dem just voted against the Laken Riley Act, ending sanctuary cities, ending Biden’s secret migrant flights, [and] ending fast pass entry for illegals via [the Customs and Border Protection] phone app,” commented Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to Donald Trump.

House Republicans passed the Laken Riley bill in response to the killing of Laken Riley, a young nursing student whose alleged murderer is a Venezuelan illegal who was at large despite having been arrested for shoplifting and skipping court.

One-hundred and seventy House Democrats also voted against the Laken Riley Act.

Following a violent breach of the border by a migrant mob last week, Joe Biden claimed Trump, rather than his own government or party, was responsible for the illegal immigration crisis.

‘PREACHY FEMALES’ – James Carville Warns Left’s Messaging is ‘Too Feminine.’

Democratic strategist James Carville blames “preachy females” in his party for Joe Biden’s decline in appeal to men — particularly minorities.

Carville’s comments came in an interview with Maureen Dowd in The New York Times. Dowd noted that Carville “has been obsessed with Biden bleeding Black male voters” before quoting his assessment of the root of Biden’s problem.

“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females” dominating the Democratic Party, he said. “‘Don’t drink beer. Don’t watch football. Don’t eat hamburgers. This is not good for you.’ The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas,’” said Carville.

“If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election,” Carville continued. “I’m like: ‘Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?’”

Carville’s comments follow polling from CNN last week that showed Biden’s support among minority voters in Michigan at historic lows. A February Gallup poll revealed that Democrats’ general support among Black voters has declined by almost 20 points in the last three years.

EXC: Rep. Gaetz Blasts ‘Tyrannical’ Gun Grab Law Exposed By The National Pulse.

Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz (R) has blasted proposed legislation unearthed by The National Pulse, which could see firearm ranges and neighborhood patrols criminalized as part of a move by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) to nullify America’s Second Amendment further.

Responding to the story from Monday morning, Rep. Gaetz said: “Democrats in Congress have decided that two’s a crowd and three’s an ‘unlawful paramilitary organization.’”

“Under this proposed tyrannical decree, any three Americans who organize to train or drill in firearm safety or security may face criminal or civil targeting by a weaponized DOJ.”

“This insane legislation offends the Second Amendment, which unambiguously supports a well-regulated militia of free citizens. I guarantee that I and other pro-2A members of Congress will fight to kill it,” concluded the firebrand Congressman.

The legislation’s House (H.R.6981) and Senate (S.3589) versions were introduced recently. Both sit in the Judiciary Committees of their respective chambers. Congressional Democrats claim the legislation is meant to enhance the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) ability to prosecute organized, armed groups who engage in violence and intimidation. However, Rep. Raskin, the lead House sponsor, has also acknowledged the Democrat bill could be used against private militias “[p]atrolling neighborhoods.”

SHALL BE INFRINGED: New Gun Grab Law Criminalizes Shooting Ranges, Private Security.

Democrat lawmakers on Capitol Hill are teeing up legislation that could result in a massive gun grab and criminalize everything from gun safety training groups to firearm ranges as well as private security teams serving at U.S. churches.

The Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act of 2024 – introduced by Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and reviewed by The National Pulse – creates new federal criminal and civil penalties for armed citizen groups that “publicly patrol, drill, or engage in techniques capable of causing bodily injury or death.” Additionally, the legislation criminalizes groups that “assume the functions of a law enforcement officer, peace officer, or public official, whether or not acting under color of law.”

The House (H.R.6981) and Senate (S.3589) versions of the legislation were introduced recently. Both sit in the Judiciary Committees of their respective chambers. Congressional Democrats claim the legislation is meant to enhance the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) ability to prosecute organized, armed groups who engage in violence and intimidation. However, Rep. Raskin, the lead House sponsor, has also acknowledged the Democrat bill could be used against private militias “[p]atrolling neighborhoods.”

Both Raskin and Markey have leaned heavily on narratives surrounding the January 6 Capitol riots and the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right rally as the impetus for their legislation. While a handful of individuals had firearms on January 6, there has been little evidence of any organized militia groups that participated in the riot being armed while at the Capitol — despite the claims by Markey and Raskin. The Oath Keepers acknowledged that they stored a cache of weapons at a hotel several miles away in Northern Virginia. Those were never brought into the District of Columbia or near the Capitol Building.

‘Vanity Fair’ Says Trump Is a Violent Threat to Democracy, Despite Its Own Sources Disagreeing.

A roughly 1,000-word article published in Vanity Fair on Friday does its best to inculcate its readers with the notion that former President Donald Trump and his millions of MAGA supporters are a violent threat to democracy. Its sources suggest otherwise.

The article, titled “Election Workers Are Bracing for Another Barrage of Trump Threats,” makes its thesis clear: “[M]onths of ‘rigged election’ conspiracy theories, harassment of election officials (and even individual poll workers), and underhanded schemes to overturn Trump’s election loss gave way to violent insurrection. Now, as he runs to return to power, Trump is once again raising the prospect of political violence…”

Presumably, if the MAGA movement’s ‘threat’ to democracy in general and poll workers in particular were so strong (and violent), poll workers would be resigning their positions in droves. Not so. Quoting Robert Stein, an elections expert at Rice University, the article states that the allegedly “hostile environment over the last four years hasn’t seemed to deter temporary poll workers; his research indicates they remain ‘very committed’ to the groundwork of democracy. ‘They take seriously what they’re doing.’”

Lisa Deely, an election worker and the main subject of Vanity Fair’s article, also seems unperturbed by the supposed specter of political violence emanating from Trump and his supporters and makes it clear that she does not truly believe she is in any real danger:

“Deeley… said she is bracing for the political temperature to start ‘climbing higher again’ as general election season begins in earnest. Has that ever made her consider leaving the profession herself? ‘Honestly, yes,’ she told me… But then, ‘there’s the other side: I feel a responsibility,’ she said. ‘So I’m not going anywhere.’”

With Bidenomics an abject failure and Biden’s foreign policy record just as bad, “threat to Democracy” is the only thing left with which the Biden campaign and its supporters have to message. If Vanity Fair‘s latest contribution to those efforts is anything to go by, it won’t work.

AOC Wants to Seize Trump’s Assets 👀

Far-left Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Jake Tapper that authorities should seize President Trump’s New York assets if he continues to argue that the $454 million judgment against him in the Empire State is unfair and worthy of appeal. She suggests that Trump may try and get his hands on cash through “political corruption,” so seizing his property is safer.

“I think that what we are dealing with politically is the much larger and much more grave and serious pressure of having this judgment against Donald Trump and him being in this degree of debt and the financial pressures that he is under and what he is subject to do in order to obtain those assets,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN.

“I actually think that there is risk in not seizing these assets and the open window that exists in him trying to secure these funds through other means,” she added. “We’ve seen a lot of interesting transactions happening with Truth Social and other means. And there’s a very real risk of political corruption.”

Her appearance comes just days after she claimed in Congress that “RICO” (racketeering and corruption) is not a crime, while RICO is specifically being used to go after President Trump and his supporters in Georgia.

EU Begins Negotiations to Absorb Muslim-Majority Bosnia.

The European Union (EU) has officially initiated negotiations to absorb Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of Europe’s only Muslim-majority states.

“Congratulations! Your place is in our European family. Today’s decision is a key step forward on your EU path,” declared Charles Michel,  European Council president, Charles Michel, the President of the European Council.

Bosnia is still suffering the effects of the wars that wracked the Balkans during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and the government is at odds with the Serb minority in the separatist-minded Republika Srpska region. It could, therefore, prove to be one of the EU’s most controversial acquisitions, with the bloc still requiring it to meet various demands on corruption and electoral and judicial reform before accession.

EU leaders have also called on Brussels to “swiftly” move ahead with preparing the ground for Moldova and Ukraine, one at war and both home to substantial ethnic Russian populations, to accede.

All such member states would eventually enter into the Free Movement migration regime if admitted to the EU, and gain access to a budget that has become increasingly strained since Brexit.

Nationalist Party Introduces NATO Exit Bill: ‘Repressive Apparatus of the USA.’

Bulgaria’s right-wing nationalist party Vazrazhdane (Revival) has introduced legislation to withdraw Bulgaria from NATO the same month as the country’s 20th anniversary of membership in the alliance. The party argues that continued membership in the organization is detrimental to Bulgaria’s national security.

“NATO is the repressive apparatus of the USA, where the member states are anything but equal partners,” reads the argument for the bill. Vazrazhdane claims that U.S. weapons and support are fueling the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, and Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The bill has zero chance of adoption in parliament, however Vazrazhdane‘s goal in introducing the bill is to bolster voter support ahead of the European elections in June.

As with other right-wing populist and nationalist parties across Europe, support for Vazrazhdane in Bulgaria is growing. The party is expected to take around 13 percent of the vote in the EU elections and around 10 percent of the vote in national parliamentary elections. The party placed third in Bulgaria’s latest parliamentary elections in April 2023.

An analysis performed last year found that around a third of Europeans now vote for right-wing populist parties.

Biden Inquiry Exposes Possible CIA Plot to Protect Hunter From Prosecution.

Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill say they’ve uncovered evidence that President Joe Biden’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) may have interfered with attempts by government investigators to speak with Patrick Kevin Morris, a crucial witness in Hunter Biden’s tax case. Hunter previously admitted to receiving substantial loans from Morris — a Hollywood entertainment lawyer — to cover about $7 million in back taxes and legal fees.

A whistleblower has provided evidence to lawmakers indicating the CIA summoned two of the lead government attorneys investigating Hunter Biden to Langley, Virginia, ahead of an interview with Morris. According to the individual who has spoken with the House Judiciary Committee, the CIA actively blocked officials from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and DOJ from interviewing several witnesses during the original Hunter Biden investigation.

“Recently, the Committees received information from a whistleblower alleging that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) intervened in the investigation of Hunter Biden to prevent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigators from interviewing a witness,” Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee wrote in a letter to CIA director William Burns. He added: “We therefore write to request relevant material from the CIA.”

In recent days, the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and his family’s business activities has expanded — with new avenues of investigation into family members who used access to the then-Vice President to secure lucrative business contracts and trade on Biden’s name. House Republicans allege that the President’s son, Hunter Biden, and brother, James Biden, were wildly successful in using their access to Joe Biden to secure valuable contracts with foreign business interests.
