Trump Drives The Wedge: ‘Biden Hates Israel, Hates Palestinians More!’

Joe Biden ends up sending “the wrong message every single time” on the increasingly riotous Gaza protests engulfing U.S. college campuses because he is hostile to both Israel and the Palestinians, argues Donald Trump. The former president called out his successor for having supposedly run for office “because of Charlottesville,” noting the disorder America now faces is far worse than in 2017.

“Crooked Joe Biden would say, constantly, that he ran because of Charlottesville. Well, if that’s the case, he’s done a really terrible job because Charlottesville is like a ‘peanut’ compared to the riots and anti-Israel protests that are happening all over our Country, RIGHT NOW,” Trump explained in a Truth Social post.

“The fact is that Crooked Joe Biden HATES Israel and Hates the Jewish people. The problem is that he HATES the Palestinians even more, and he just doesn’t know what to do,” he explained.

BIDEN’S CHARLOTTESVILLE. 

Trump called out both “neo-Nazis” and “the alt-left” after protests over the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017 turned violent. Biden has falsely claimed Trump described “white supremacists, Nazis, and the KKK” at the rally as “very fine people” for years.

Now, however, Biden finds himself claiming there are fine people on both sides of the campus crisis. He says he opposes both anti-Semitism and “those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians,” as Jews in the U.S. are subjected to assaults and pro-Hamas chants. The 81-year-old is seeking to placate both parties due to his dependence on Muslim and younger voters, who skew pro-Palestinian, in key swing states like Michigan.

Trump’s approach of calling out Biden for his issue with both pro-Israel and anti-Israel voters contrasts with that of Speaker Mike Johnson. The congressman has drawn fire away from Biden and towards the GOP by inserting himself into the campus crisis, earning criticism from analysts including National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam.

Lincoln Project Hackers

Anti-Trump ‘Lincoln Project’ Paid $35,000 to Hackers.

The anti-Trump Lincoln Project, co-founded by admitted sexual predator John Weaver, notified the Federal Election Commission (FEC) that they paid $35,000 to hackers who had posed as a vendor and sent fraudulent invoices. Two payments in February of this year totaling $20,000 and $15,000 were made on what the Lincoln Project believed were valid invoices. However, the anti-Trump PAC was subsequently informed that the vendor’s email had been hacked and the invoices were not legitimate. The funds had been directed to accounts controlled by hackers.

“A vendor’s email was hacked, with the hackers producing authentic-looking invoices that were sent from our vendor’s legitimate email account,” Lincoln Project spokesman Greg Minchak said when the FEC notice was made public, continuing: “The hack affected multiple clients of the vendor, including Lincoln Project.”

Once the Lincoln Project realized they had paid tens of thousands of dollars to hackers, the PAC says they notified their compliance firm to ” mitigate the problem.” Minchak claims that the “transactions did not impact our operations in any way.”

Since its founding in December 2019, the Lincoln Project has been plagued by controversy. The PAC’s founders — George Conway, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver, and Rick Wilson (among others) — have extensive ties to the failed John McCain and Mitt Romney presidential campaigns. In January of 2021, Weaver admitted to cultivating inappropriate relationships and sending sexually explicit messages to at least 21 men over the internet. He later confessed that he had engaged in grooming behavior towards a 14-year-old boy but claimed to have not engaged in exchanging sexual messages until after the teen’s 18th birthday.

The Weaver revelations prompted George Conway to call for the PAC to be shut down.

Farrakhan Fangirl Welcomed Back At White House Despite Supposed Ban.

Visitor logs reveal Cora Masters Barry, a Washington, D.C., city official, has visited the White House on at least two occasions after the Biden government claimed she had been banned for praising anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. In mid-2022, Barry—who serves as the CEO of the city’s Recreation Wish List Committee—lauded Farrakhan, calling him a “friend,” and “member of the family,” adding, “I love you more than words will ever say.”

In response to the remarks, Joe Biden‘s deputy press secretary, Andrew Bates, said the capital city official would no longer be welcomed back at the White House. “The president has unequivocally condemned Louis Farrakhan and the hate he represents for decades and co-sponsored bipartisan legislation doing so,” Bates told Fox News in October of 2022. He added: “He also denounces any praise of Louis Farrakhan or his repugnant, antisemitic values, including in this case.”

TWO VISITS DESPITE BAN.

Despite the ban, the official visitor logs—which document individuals who attend official meetings and events at the White House—indicate Cora Masters Barry was welcomed back to the White House on at least two occasions, in June and December 2023. In June 2023, Barry attended a Juneteenth event on the White House lawn, which featured remarks from both Biden and Kamala Harris. The December 2023 event appears to be an evening reception attended by one hundred or more other individuals.

Cora Masters Barry is the widow of Marion Barry, who served as the mayor of Washington, D.C., from 1979 to 1991 and again from 1995 to 1999. In an infamous incident in 1990, Barry was arrested during an FBI sting after being caught on a hidden camera smoking crack cocaine with a prostitute. In the video of his arrest, Barry could be heard repeatedly muttering, “Bitch set me up.”

WHITE HOUSE’S FARRAKHAN PROBLEM.

This isn’t the first Farrakhan-connected individual to have been a frequent guest at the White House or to have influence in the Biden government. The National Pulse reported in late March that a Washington, D.C. environmentalist nonprofit, whose staff has ties to Farrakhan, has made numerous White House visits. In addition, the group’s CEO, Lennox Yearwood, has received public praise from Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

‘Catholic’ Biden Handed $700M to Planned Parenthood in One Year, Fueling Record Abortions.

The federal government granted nearly $700 million to Planned Parenthood during an annual period where the organization performed almost 400,000 abortions.

According to its “Above and Beyond” Annual Report, during its 2022-2023 year, ending June 30, 2023, Planned Parenthood received $699.3 million in government grants and ‘health services’ reimbursements. From 2022 to 2023, the organization performed 392,715 abortions, an increase over the 392,715 abortions it performed between 2021 and 2022.

The rise in abortions happened in conjunction with a decline in all other major services provided by the clinic.

The report also noted that “Demand at Planned Parenthood health centers in states where abortion is protected has soared by up to 700%,” suggesting that the organization is profiting from ‘abortion tourism’ as other states take measures to protect life following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Within 2023, over two dozen Planned Parenthood affiliates assisted more than 33,000 women in receiving abortions through financial and transportation assistance.

“Planned Parenthood’s annual report illustrates their priorities,” said Tessa Longbons Cox, senior researcher at Charlotte Lozier Institute. “Ultimately, they are an abortion business. It’s no surprise that even as total patients and services fell from the previous year, profits soared and Planned Parenthood performed more abortions than ever.”

Last month, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sued Planned Parenthood for “trafficking minors” across state lines to get abortions without parental consent. The controversial organization was also hit with fresh allegations that it sold body parts of aborted babies for profit.

Poll Voters Support Abortion Access

DATA: Slim Majority Want Congressional Action on Abortion.

Americans continue to be split on the issue of abortion, with new polling indicating that a narrow majority want Congress to enact a law that would restore its legal treatment under Roe v. Wade. Among Americans at large, 54 percent say they want lawmakers to maintain the legality and accessibility of abortion under Roe. Meanwhile, 56 percent of registered voters say the same.

This is the highest level of support for permissive access to abortion seen in the Yahoo News/YouGov survey since they began asking the question following the U.S. Supreme Court‘s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022. Far-reaching state-level abortion restrictions are likely the cause for increased polling support for Roe-esque access laws. In Arizona, the state’s Supreme Court recently reinstated an 1864 law that bans abortion in almost every case.

The Arizona abortion ban is unpopular among a broad swath of the electorate. Polling shows 57 percent of Americans disapprove of the court’s decision to reinstate the law. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign hopes to capitalize off of voter sentiment against restrictive state-level abortion laws. They’ve launched large ad buys in several swing states focusing on the issue. The National Pulse reported in mid-April that the Biden campaign launched a seven-figure ad buy in Arizona focusing on abortion and the President’s support for pro-choice policies.

However, the narrow-majority support for Roe v. Wade-style permissive abortion laws may not be all good news for the Biden campaign. An Emerson College poll of voters in Florida from April 12 shows the issue of abortion ranking relatively low among voter concerns. Despite Florida residents saying they supported a state referendum enshrining permissive abortion rights in the Sunshine State, former President Donald Trump held a double-digit lead over Biden. This appears to indicate that most don’t associate Trump with state Republican efforts to restrict abortion access. Additionally, it suggests that abortion is not a vote-moving issue, meaning it ranks relatively low in terms of voter intensity.

Newsmax Doctors Interview With U.S. Senator to Exclude Ukraine Criticism.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) says the right-leaning news network Newsmax cut an entire segment of his interview with them yesterday evening. The Utah Republican claims the unaired segment of his interview focused on his criticism of the Ukraine foreign aid supplemental funding bill.

“Newsmax cut an entire segment of my interview last night,” Sen. Lee posted on X (formerly Twitter) late this afternoon. The conservative lawmaker continued: “No mention of Ukraine—even though part of the interview focused specifically on the supplemental.”

“I’ve never had this happen with any news network, not like this,” he added.

Sen. Lee specifically called out Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy over the cut segment, with the Senator asking him “what happened?”

The Utah Senator has been a strong critic of sending additional military and foreign aid to Ukraine, especially as its defense against Russia’s invasions appears to be faltering. On Saturday, a coalition of Democrats and Republicans in the House passed a series of supplemental funding bills that provide for tens of billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The legislation also includes a provision that would force the Chinese-owned company ByteDance to divest itself from TikTok.

A spokesman for Lee also told The National Pulse: “On Tuesday, Senator Lee appeared on ‘Eric Bolling The Balance’ on Newsmax to discuss various political issues of the day. For some reason, Newsmax aired everything but Senator Lee’s condemnation of the disastrous foreign aid bill that abandons America’s borders while throwing 60 billion dollars into the Ukraine proxy war. It is unclear who at Newsmax made the decision, but we know that it was not Mr. Bolling.”

The National Pulse previously reported that Newsmax received a $50 million investment from the Qatari royal family.

Another Massive Foreign Policy Own Goal For Biden & Team…

Russia is decisively outplaying the Joe Biden regime in Africa, senior U.S. officials are admitting, as Niger becomes the latest country to push out American troops in favor of Russian mercenaries. Having poured over a billion dollars into Niger, well over a thousand U.S. troops will now have to be withdrawn from the Sahel region state over the coming months, and critical new drone bases will be abandoned.

A senior U.S. military official with experience in Niger described the event as “a devastating blow, both for our regional counterterrorism efforts and to overall peace in the region going forward.” Russian military advisers and materiel are already arriving in the country.

Chad, the Central African Republic, Mali, and Libya, have already turned to Russia to enhance their security, POLITICO reports, with a senior U.S. official telling the news outlet: “Where the Russians have a real advantage over the United States is they have weapons, and they sell weapons, including helicopters.”

It is an embarrassing state of affairs for Biden and his NATO allies — France, the former colonial power, has already had its forces ejected from Niger — at a time when a diplomatic and sanctions blitz against Russia following the onset of the Ukraine war was supposed to curb its influence on the world stage. Instead, the U.S. is being further pushed back in a region where neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso had already undergone military coups, brought in Russian mercenaries, and realigned with Moscow.

Cameron Hudson, a former intelligence officer for Africa at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), described how the U.S. had tried to fill the vacuum in “all of these countries” when French influence waned following decolonization.

“All of that is clearly not working. We are now out. Russia is now in,” he lamented.

Jamie Raskin Is Getting Sued!

Tony Bobulinski, a former associate of Hunter Biden, filed a $20 million defamation lawsuit against Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) yesterday. Bobulinski, the witness for the Republican impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, has filed several lawsuits against Democrats over their commentary about him. According to Bobulinski, Rep. Raskin has refused to comply with multiple requests to retract and delete allegedly defamatory remarks, necessitating the lawsuit.

Raskin, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, often criticizes the Republican impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden‘s son, Hunter. The Democrat lawmaker has repeatedly questioned Bobulinksi’s credibility. The lawsuit alleges Raskin published “false statements” online to undermine Bobulinski after his testimony before the impeachment inquiry.

The legal filing also accuses Raskin, in an MSNBC interview, of insinuating that Bobulinski engaged in spying and other criminal activity, thus damaging his integrity. In the same interview, Raskin ridiculed the GOP impeachment witnesses, accusing Bobulinski of maintaining ties to sanctioned Russia-based energy magnate Viktor Vekselberg. Several corporate news outlets subsequently picked up these accusations, further damaging the witness’s reputation.

Bobulinski’s lawsuit alleges that Raskin defamed the witness by suggesting he may have lied to Congress to gain favor with former President Donald Trump. The filing states that he possesses no affiliation with Trump’s presidential campaign. These comments by Raskin, the suit claims, have contributed to a “defamatory social media blitz.”

In addition to Raskin, Bobulinski has also filed lawsuits against former Trump aide-turned-Democrat ally Cassidy Hutchinson and Fox News‘s Democrat commentator Jessica Tarlov.

DeSantis Backers Clamor for Jobs in the Next Trump Admin.

Some of Ron DeSantis‘s strongest backers are now indicating they want jobs in the next Trump administration should Trump win the November election. Chief among them are Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and activist Christopher Rufo. A recent article in the Daily Caller on the importance of the role of Education Secretary reveals that both Reynolds and Rufo covet the position.

According to the Caller, an unnamed conservative education group lists Reynolds on its preferred shortlist for the role. “From her perspective, it’s something that she is interested in,” a spokesman for Reynolds said.

Rufo also appears keen on the role. “I think when the country calls you to service, you have to listen,” said Rufo. “And when the president is looking to assemble a team to advance these ideas, these principles and these policies, he’s going to need the best people he can get. And I think something like that would be an offer that would be very difficult, if not impossible to refuse,” he continued. “I think it’s very important that we need an education secretary who is youthful,” added Rufo, who is just 39 years old.

Reynolds enthusiastically endorsed Ron DeSantis for president, telling a crowd of DeSanits supporters in December 2023 that “(Trump) thought he was entitled to my endorsement. Nobody is entitled to anything. You have to step up, you have to earn it, you have to make your case.”

It is unlikely that Reynolds — or Rufo, whom POLITICO described as Desantis’s culture warrior — will be able to make their cases to Trump successfully. In March of last year, the Trump campaign warned DeSantis supporters that they would be ineligible for roles in either his campaign or a future administration.

Trump Joins Gaetz, Luna With Realist Position on Mike Johnson: ‘We Have a Majority of One, OK?’

Donald Trump has signaled his support for Speaker Mike Johnson, who has been under fire from some conservatives after untethering military aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan from border security in a series of standalone bills. The former President said he believes the Speaker is “trying very hard” in an interview with radio host John Fredericks. He also reminded listeners of the arithmetic Johnson is facing in the House of Representatives.

“Look, we have a majority of one, OK? So, it’s not like he can go and do whatever he wants to do,” Trump said when asked how he squared the “divide between MAGA and Mike Johnson.”

Even nominal control of the House would be jeopardized by this small margin if Johnson were ousted. Democrats would only need the votes of a handful of Republicans-in-name-only to install Democrat minority leader Hakeem Jeffries.

The position echoes the reluctant position of Reps. Gaetz, Luna, and others on this issue. Realistic Members of Congress understand that handing the gavel to Democrats six months before an election would lead to an immediate avalanche of subpoenas for almost everyone on the political right, as well as efforts to stack the Supreme Court, and ban Donald Trump from the ballot before November.

“…it’s a tough situation when you have [a majority of] one,” Trump added. “I think he’s a very good man, I think he’s trying very hard, and, again, we’ve gotta have a big election, we’ve got to elect some people in Congress, much more than we have right now.”

Trump also said it was essential to get rid of certain bad actors among Republican lawmakers. “We have to elect some good senators. Get rid of some of the ones we have now, like [Mitt] Romney — and others,” he said. “We have to have a big day, and we have to win the presidency.”

“If we don’t win the presidency, our country, I’m telling you, I think our country could be finished,” he warned.
