Marc E. Elias, a prominent Democratic election attorney, raised concerns about the potential impartiality of a Washington, D.C. trial for former President Donald Trump in the wake of his primary defeat to Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley.
“In a city of 700,000, Donald Trump got 676 votes in the GOP primary. A tough jury pool,” Elias posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Elias, founder of the “Democracy Docket,” often represents Democrats in cases related to election disputes. He played a significant role in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, advocating for changes to voting laws that proved to be crucial for Democratic turnouts in critical states.
Former President Trump is facing criminal charges led by Special Counsel Jack Smith in the District of Columbia in connection to his efforts to contest the 2020 election outcome. Although generally involved in voting issues, Elias played a pivotal role in pushing the “Russia collusion” hoax.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced details of the first six majorbudget bills on Sunday to prevent a partial government shutdown, which House conservatives are calling “pathetic.” Federal funding for several government agencies is set to lapse on March 8.
The 1,050-page appropriations package combines six bills drafted by the House and Senate — including funding for the military, veterans affairs, agriculture, commerce, energy and water, transportation, and housing. Initial funding was due to expire on March 1, but leaders agreed on Wednesday to extend these deadlines by a week.
The funding agreement falls well short of what many conservative lawmakers on Capitol Hill expected. The legislation does not prohibit the Department of Justice (DOJ) from using taxpayer funds to prosecute a presidential candidate — a top priority for many Congressional Republicans. Additionally, it allows for continued funding of China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology and other labs controlled by governments hostile to the United States. The appropriations package doesn’t prohibit taxpayer funding of mail-order chemical abortion drugs, nor does it defund President Joe Biden’s DEI executive orders or federal funding for the promotion of Critical Race Theory.
“It’s pathetic,” a senior House Republican aide told The National Pulse, adding: “Weak, low energy, apologetic failure.”
“The truth is that the FBI cut is largely a result of killing one big earmark for Alabama now that Senator Shelby is gone; plus, there is nothing meaningful on border security at all,” the aide said.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, however, declared the appropriations package a victory for conservatives, noting House Republicans were able to secure a handful of the policy priorities in the negotiations.
“House Republicans secured key conservative policy victories, rejected left-wing proposals, and imposed sharp cuts to agencies and programs critical to President Biden’s agenda,” Johnson said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter).
He continued: “This legislation forbids the Department of Justice from targeting parents exercising their right to free speech before school boards, while it blocks the Biden Administration from stripping Second Amendment rights from veterans.”
The appropriations package contains modest cuts to FBI and ATF funding — seven percent and six percent, respectively. It also includes a 10 percent cut to funding for the Environment Protection Agency. Additionally, the funding agreement nearly zeroed out the FBI’s construction budget. The package also addresses — to a degree — partisan lawfare by Biden’s DOJ. It bars the DOJ from investigating parents who exercise their free speech rights at local school board meetings and bars the investigation of churches for their religious beliefs.
Democrat leaders on Capitol Hill praised the package, cheering its continued full funding for programs including special food assistance for women, infants, and children, rent assistance, and infrastructure employee pay. House leaders have indicated they expect to take the legislation to the floor for a vote this coming weekend, just ahead of the March 8 funding deadline.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, demanded that the United States undertake efforts to ensure a “non-discriminatory” presidential election this year, noting concerns voiced by the U.N. Human Rights Committee about specific state-level elections laws last year.
According to the U.N. bureaucrat, issues like partisan gerrymandering and state laws restricting mail-in voting — as well as voter I.D. requirements — undermine American voting rights. Turk urged federal and state lawmakers to implement the committee’s recommended safeguards.
Turk’s comments came amid the re-election bid by former President Donald Trump, whose 2020 election loss to current President Joe Biden was mired in controversy. The U.N.’s human rights chief emphasized policies like non-discriminatory suffrage, equality, and universality during his address to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva. “In a context of intense political polarization, it is important to emphasize equal rights and the equal value of every citizen’s vote,” Turk stated.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights has a history of trying to intervene in the affairs of member states. As previously reported by The National Pulse, the commissioner lashed out at France for banning headscarves ahead of the 2024 Olympics. The U.N. commission has also argued that minors are capable of consenting to sex and demanded that anti-transgender activism be criminalized.

Missouri Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey sued Planned Parenthood on Thursday for “trafficking minors” across state borders to receive abortions without parental consent.
“This is the beginning of the end for Planned Parenthood in the State of Missouri,” Bailey declared in announcing the lawsuit. “Our children are the future. It is time to eradicate Planned Parenthood once and for all to end this pattern of abhorrent, unethical, and illegal behavior.”
The lawsuit, which targets Planned Parenthood’s Great Plains chapter, alleges numerous unlawful activities, including the clandestine transportation of minors for abortions.
Evidence supporting the lawsuit lies in an undercover video that the activist group Project Veritas captured. The footage depicts an exchange between a Planned Parenthood staff member and an imposter seeking an abortion for a minor. The lawsuit cites allegations of Planned Parenthood’s regular engagement in this illegal activity, with one Planned Parenthood employee quoted in the lawsuit as saying they break the law “every day, every day, every day.” The lawsuit also claims Planned Parenthood has violated other laws, specifically concerning the non-disclosure of complications during procedures.
Planned Parenthood Chapter President and CEO Emily Wales denied the allegations of transporting patients across state lines.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has claimed that efforts to strengthen America’s elections would disenfranchise black voters. Garland peddled the long-standing, Democrat conspiracy theory that suggests Republicans are trying to rob black people of their vote. The theory relies on the central claim that black Americans are too stupid to obtain identification.
Garland’s comments came during an appearance at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma, Alabama on Sunday commemorating the 59th anniversary of ‘Bloody Sunday.’ He told the congregation that Biden’s Justice Department is “challenging efforts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-invoting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements … [and] working to block the adoption of discriminatory redistricting plans that dilute the vote of black voters and other voters of color.”
“The right to vote is still under attack,” he claimed, without evidence, while implying black Americans are unable to obtain IDs due to their low competency levels.
While Garland and other far-left Democrats may assert that restrictions on mail-in voting, drop boxes, and voter ID requirements are racist, the majority of Americans recognize these measures as legitimate efforts to combat voter fraud and overwhelmingly support them.
Garland maintained that “such measures threaten the foundation of our system of government,” again, without any evidence for the wild claim.

New Jersey insurance broker Jose Uribe — an associate of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) — pleaded guilty to seven charges on Friday, including bribery, obstruction of justice, and tax evasion. Uribe’s plea was preceded by a superseding indictment brought forth by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Uribe had initially pleaded not guilty to the charges in September.
Federal prosecutors allege Uribe participated in a protracted bribery scheme alongside Sen. Menendez, Menendez’s wife Nadine, and two additional associates. Uribe is suspected of providing a Mercedes-Benz to Nadine Menendez as quid pro quo for the Senator’s influence in aiding a Uribe-related individual in a criminal investigation. Additionally, Uribe was accused of obstructing justice by instructing his then-legal counsel to deceive the U.S. Attorney’s office over the car payments, erroneously presenting them as loans in an attempt to block a federal investigation.
The indictment also alleges the Menendez associate engaged in tax evasion, stating Uribe formed a series of business entities known as Nominee Companies in other people’s names from 2016 through 2021. It is claimed that Uribe received income through these entities but failed to disclose these earnings to the IRS. His sentencing is slated for June 14th.
Despite the mounting charges against himself and his associates, Sen. Menendez has refused calls for resignation from Congress but has stepped down as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Alex Soros, son of globalist billionaire and Democrat megadonor George Soros, attended several meetings at the White House in late November, just days before George Soros contributed $350,000 to support the reelection of President Joe Biden, according to campaign finances records.
White House visitor logs indicate Alex Soros met with National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on November 22 and with Rachel Chiu of the White House Office of Political Strategy and energy adviser Amos Hochstein the day prior.
Soros serves as the chair of his billionaire father’s Open Society Foundations, a network of non-profit groups pushing a progressivepolicyagenda worldwide. He was named one of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders in 2018.
Open Society Foundations holds significant political influence in the Biden government. Most recently, the Soros political network has pushed for a ceasefire in Gaza – accusing Israel of committing alleged war crimes in response to the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th. While acknowledging Israel has a duty to protect its citizens, the organization claims the Jewish State has engaged in violations of international humanitarian law.
According to records, Alex Soros has made 25 visits to the Biden White House. Notably, he was accompanied by Open Society Foundations special adviser Yasin Yaqubie during his meeting with Jake Sullivan and by Michael Vachon – a longtime aide to George Soros – during his meeting with Rachel Chiu.

President Joe Biden allegedly pondered, out loud, how young people could “make love” during the early months of his presidency and the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic. His comments, first reported by the Washington Post on Friday, apparently stemmed from conversations with his grandchildren, which he then took to White House aides for answers:
In the early months of his presidency, as the pandemic dragged on with its stifling restrictions, President Biden often delivered a favorite monologue to aides: He was worried about young people’s mental health, he said. High school seniors were missing prom and graduation. He wanted to know how college students went on dates.
Specifically, Biden wondered how young people could “make love” under the circumstances, according to two aides who heard the president use that phrase multiple times during his first year in office. Biden’s fixation on loneliness among young people, the aides said, grew out of his near-daily conversations with his grandchildren.
Biden brought those concerns to Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, who had written a book on loneliness, and encouraged him to prioritize the issue. Last May, Murthy released a National Strategy to Advance Social Connection, accompanied by guidance “calling attention to the public health crisis of loneliness, isolation, and lack of connection in our country.”
Biden has a long history of weird and inappropriate behavior around children, even his own. From his daughter Ashley’s diary, where she alleges “inappropriate” showers with her father Joe, at a young age, to his public behavior around kids and his tendency to kiss his granddaughter on the lips in public, Biden is long-believed to be the “Pedo Peter” referred to in Hunter Biden’s laptop correspondence.
The National Pulse also revealed that Joe Biden’s private e-mail account was listed as “Peter Henderson” in correspondence with Hunter.

Senate Republicans are voicing increasing favor for atrial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whom the House of Representatives impeached over two weeks ago.
The charges against Mayorkas are in connection with his actions concerning the southern border and illegal immigration. The initial impeachment efforts by the Republican-held House were met with skepticism from some senators who predicted the initiative would fail upon reaching the Senate floor. However, growing support for a trial is now emerging among Senate Republicans, including from those beyond hard-line conservative circles.
Last week, a faction of Republican senators led by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) requested Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) to “demand” a Senate trial for Mayorkas via a written appeal. It drew support from Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo), Rick Scott (R-Fla), Ron Johnson (R-Wis), J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Roger Marshall (R-Kan), Josh Hawley (R-Mo), Mike Braun (R-Ind), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo), and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn). McConnell and Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) have since both expressed approval for a trial.
In addition to McConnell and Thune, Sens. Katie Britt (R-Ala), John Kennedy (R-La), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), and Steve Daines (R-Mont) have also indicated their support for an impeachment trial. Despite the growing GOP backing for a trial, any such measure will likely fail due to the requirement of a two-thirds Senate majority to convict and remove Mayorkas from office.

Raul Ortiz, the former chief of Border Patrol, has stated he had no encounters with either President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris during his entire tenure from August 2021 until June 2023.
“I’ve made it perfectly clear, when I was the Chief, I never once met with the President or the Vice President. And I think it’s long overdue that they sit down and roll up their sleeves and start coming up with some solutions,” Ortiz said during an appearance on Fox News’s “Your World.”
Ortiz stressed that it is essential for the President to hold meetings with Border Patrol officials to gain a deep understanding of the issue and develop viable remedies. He drew attention to the heightened activity in Tucson, San Diego, and El Paso, describing them as the busiest regions along the southwest border. He advocated for direct communication between the White House and Border Patrol officials as a source of firsthand information.
Ortiz’s comments came in response to a visit to Texas by Joe Biden this week that observers say was little more than a photo op. The Biden regime continues to face widespread criticism for its mishandling of the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
