3,000+ Leftist Groups Involved in Anti-Trump Efforts.

A complex network of over 3,000 left-wing groups led by an organization called “Indivisible” is reportedly engaged in efforts to undermine the influence of former President Donald Trump. Investigative research conducted by Northeast Florida-based conservative grassroots activist Jessico Bowman hints at a well-coordinated movement to extricate Trump from his 2024 election bid backed by several anti-Trump organizations and charities managed by — or associated with — Indivisible.

Modeled after the conservative Tea Party moment, the group has worked to influence Democrat lawmakers at the state and national levels. They work to encourage Democrat office-holders to adopt increasingly radical talking points and actions to undermine Donald Trump and the MAGA movement’s policy agenda.

Bowman claims her research shows that Indivisible has exerted influence even over President Joe Biden. The group claims the 81-year-old Democrat has often used their talking points in the media.

Indivisible, previously known to have supported Hillary Clinton in 2016, has its stated mission as “remaking our democracy” and aims to “resist the Trump agenda.” The organization’s website indicates that it’s a “movement of thousands of group leaders and more than a million members” taking steps to oppose the GOP’s agenda, support local champions, and advocate for progressive policies.

The website also provides a map and a list of all affiliated organizations across the United States. Displaying over 3,000 group names, locations, and social media links, it offers users an insight into the extensive web of left-wing groups connected under the Indivisible umbrella. Since 2017, the group has received several million dollars in donations from George Soros–affiliated foundations and PACs.

Biden’s Approval Rating Among Young Voters Craters to 27 Percent.

Joe Biden’s approval rating has cratered among 18-29-year-olds. A key demographic for the Democrat in 2020, younger voters now give him one of the worst ratings of any cohort in the country, with 27 percent approving of his performance against 71 percent disapproving.

The President’s popularity among voters under 30 may have been damaged by his stance on the Israel-Hamas war. Members of his own government and campaign staff are in revolt over his position, with some penning an open letter warning it is “a moral and electoral imperative for [him] to publicly call for a cessation of violence” as “Biden for President staff have seen volunteers quit in droves.”

Black Americans, Biden’s other key demographic, also give the 81-year-old Democrat a slightly negative approval rating, with 48 percent approval versus 49 percent disapproval. He commanded 92 percent of the black vote in 2020.

This is still his strongest approval rating by ethnicity by far, however. Among Asians, his approval-to-disapproval rating is 39-59, while among Hispanics it is 32-65, scarcely better than his rating among whites, which stands at 30-68.

Biden enjoys a very slight net positive approval rating of 50-49 among those with postgraduate qualifications, but it collapses to 36-62 among regular college graduates. His rating among non-college graduates is dire, tying with his rating among 18-29-year-olds at 27-71.

Biden’s overall approval rating reached a high of 54 percent in early 2021 but dipped below 50 percent before the year was out and has never recovered. It currently stands at 33 percent approve, 65 percent disapprove.

Haley Blasts Economic Nationalism Ahead of Wall Street Elite Conflab.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley sharply contrasted her views on trade with those of Donald Trump on Monday ahead of fundraisers with members of the Wall Street elite.

On CNBC’s Squawk Box, Haley criticized Trump’s proposal of a blanket 10 percent tariff on all imported goods. “This is a man who now wants to go and put 10 percent tariffs across the board, raising taxes on every single American,” Haley said. Trump “is going to raise every household’s expenses by $2,600 a year,” she claimed, citing a report from the National Taxpayers Union.

While free trade agreements and policies have decimated American working-class communities and led to the offshoring of millions of American jobs, they have been highly lucrative for the Wall Street investor class, many of whom support Haley’s campaign. On Tuesday, Haley is attending a fundraiser hosted by billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller. Tickets to the swanky New York City event start at $3,300 and go up to $33,200.

Michael Every, a global strategist at Rabobank, said that critics of Trump’s tariff policy fail to understand its reasoning. “They don’t grasp that Trump isn’t talking about a 10 percent tariff just because it’s a 10 percent tariff,” said Every, adding that Trump “is talking about structurally breaking the global system, by hook or by crook, to basically re-industrialize the U.S.” He aims to establish “a barrier between it and the rest of the world so it’s cheap to produce in America and more expensive to produce everywhere else if you’re importing into America,” Every explained.

Western Nations Have Donated Over $8 BILLION To UNRWA – Whose Staff Aided Hamas Terror – Over 10 Years.

An analysis by The National Pulse has revealed that Western nations donated over $8 billion to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRW) between 2013 and 2022. Over $2.5 billion came from the United States alone.

According to data compiled by UNRWA, in the ten years from 2013 to 2022, the United States gave $2,558,830,210, the EU and its member states collectively gave $5,246,475,932, and Australia, Canada, and New Zealand gave a combined $313,429,066 to the controversial agency — a grand total of $8,118,735,208. 

At least 11 nations have announced their intention to stop funding UNRWA following revelations that some of its employees directly took part in the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack against Israel, including participating in massacres at an Israel Kibbutz and kidnapping women.

In the final two years of his presidency, Donald Trump eliminated U.S. funding for UNRWA. The Biden regime reauthorized funding for the agency and gave it a combined $682,337,718 in 2021 and 2022. Figures for 2023 funding for UNRWA are not yet available.

Judge Who Says Trump Should Be Off Illinois Ballot Was Appointed By RINO Who Backed Clinton in 2016.

Retired Illinois judge Clark Erickson has recommended removing former President Donald Trump from the Illinois state primary ballot. The former state circuit court judge was appointed to the bench in 1995 by moderate Republican Governor Jim Edgar — a vocal and aggressive critic of Trump’s presidency, The National Pulse can reveal.

Erickson made his recommendation based on a filing by a group of Illinois citizens backed by the far-left lawfare group Free Speech for People. Erickson’s decision is non-binding and will be weighed — along with other arguments — by the State Board of Elections this week.

Clark Erickson served as a judge on the Illinois 21st District  Circuit Court for 25 years before retiring on November 1st, 2020. Following his appointment in 1995, Erickson subsequently won election to retain his judgeship in 1996.

Former Governor Edgar, a moderate Republican, has been an outspoken critic of Trump — stating in 2016 that he would not vote for the Republican presidential nominee and would cast his ballot for Hillary Clinton instead. Edgar — who describes himself as an “Eisenhower-Ford-Bush Republican” — oversaw drastic changes to the Illinois state pension program during his two terms as governor from 1991 to 1999. Conservative and progressive policy analyses lay at least part of the blame for the state pension crisis on Governor Edgar and the changes he enacted.

While Erickson ruled that the former President engaged in “insurrection” and was barred under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, he added that Illinois state law does not allow the State Board of Election to settle constitutional questions. Instead, Erickson recommended the ultimate decision of whether Trump appears on the state primary ballot be left up to a higher court.

The National Pulse has previously reported on the efforts of far-left groups like Free Speech or People and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) to remove Trump from state primary ballots. The U.S. Supreme Court will consider rulings ordering the removal of former President Trump from ballots in Colorado and Maine in February.

‘I’ll Just F*cking Quit!’ – Christina Pushaw, Once Touted as ‘Secret Weapon’, Was Cut Out of DeSantis Campaign Months Ago.

Former advisor to Ukrainian politician Mikheil Saakashvili, Christina Pushaw, angrily threatened to resign from her “rapid response” communications role with the Ron DeSantis for President campaign over the summer of 2023 after she was frozen out of staff meetings for being “off-message” and “bad at messaging,” according to a lengthy report from The Messenger.

Pushaw, a registered foreign agent and open borders activist, reportedly lashed out in a heated exchange with then-campaign manager Generra Peck in the first weeks of July.

“If you think I’m so off-message and bad at messaging, why are you cutting me out of messaging meetings… I’ll just fucking quit!” screamed Christina Pushaw, according to reporting from Marc Caputo.

The incident occurred around the time Pushaw’s team of “social media knife fighters” had pumped out homoerotic and Nazi content featuring the Florida Governor, leading to widespread ridicule. A few weeks later, DeSantis himself appeared on the Megyn Kelly show to distance himself from Pushaw’s online operation.

“So, look, we have people that are doing this rapid response. I’m not putting my time into it at all. I mean, you know, they’re going and going back and forth. You know, there’s kind of a battle online. I’m not somebody who’s following that very closely. It’s just not my cup of tea,” DeSantis said.

“I think that there’s a place for that, but, ultimately, you know, the people in Iowa and New Hampshire, you know, they’re not following the latest Twitter war.”

DeSantis went on to lose by a massive margin in Iowa and dropped out before New Hampshire.

Bannon: ‘I’d Return to Campaign, White House if President Trump Asked.’

Steve Bannon, former White House Chief Strategist, says he will return to Donald Trump’s side if called to do so, calling him “one of the greatest leaders” in American history.

“[I]f President Trump ever asked me to come back to the campaign or to the White House, I would always do whatever President Trump asked me to do,” Bannon said in a recent interview with Andrew Marr.

“This is only the third time in the history of our country… that the fate and destiny of one man is the fate and destiny of our republic,” he stressed, ranking Trump alongside George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Bannon called Trump “the American Cincinnatus,” referring to an early leader of the Roman Republic whose countrymen twice called on him to serve in times of crisis and twice returned to a quiet life on his farm when his work was done.

The War Room host used the opportunity to explain Trump’s dictator quips to the breathless corporate media, pointing out his administration was marked by a period of unprecedented peace. Joe Biden, conversely, has presided over the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban, the outbreak of new conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, and the launching of an ineffective air war in Yemen.

Bannon said he and Trump are especially aligned on the need to take on the Deep State, which he described as a “fourth branch of government” that has “metastasized over the last 50 years.”

“[W]e’re training up right now 3,000 people that can step into the government, day one, that don’t need Senate confirmation,” Bannon said.

“[Trump] will hit the beach with people that are like-minded and tough, and know what we have to do,” he added — suggesting this is why global elites are “in total meltdown” over Trump’s potential return at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, Switzerland.

Florida Moves to Ban Under-16s from Social Media.

Republican lawmakers in the Florida House of Representatives advanced legislation aimed at protecting minors from harmful content on social media. House Bill 1 requires a ban on social media platforms for users under 16. It also mandates age verification services by a third party.

State Rep. Fiona McFarland, a Republican cosponsor of the bill, compared social media to “a digital fentanyl.” The legislation would allow parents to sue social media companies that do not remove their child’s account.

Florida Republicans say the legislation is part of an effort to reduce bullying, depression, and suicide linked to social media use. The bill allows exemptions for websites primarily used for emails, texts, and streaming services. However, it has drawn criticism for its vague language and potential infringements on First Amendment rights.

Lawmakers have not specified which social media platforms might be impacted. If it becomes law, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and YouTube could be exposed to potential legal liabilities. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, believes its social media platforms fall outside the scope of House Bill 1. Before passage, language was added to the legislation limiting its applicability to social media apps that feature “addictive, harmful, or deceptive design features.”

The Florida State Senate will take up the legislation next. If adopted, it will be sent to Republican Governor Ron DeSantis to sign into law.

Ken Paxton’s Texas Judge Has a Dog Called ‘Joe Biden’.

Travis County Judge Jan Soifer, who on Thursday denied Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton‘s motion to halt his deposition in the ongoing whistleblower case against his office, is a far-left, partisan Democrat who even has a dog named “Joey Biden.”

Social media posts and FTC data reviewed by The National Pulse raise worrying questions about Soifer’s ability to be an impartial judge in the Republican Attorney General’s case. Her Facebook page features a profile picture of herself with Democrat President Joe Biden. The 81-year-old Biden also appears to be the namesake for the judge’s pet dog, “Joey Biden.”

In a now-deleted post on the anniversary of the January 6th U.S. Capitol riot earlier this month, Soifer encouraged her followers to back Biden’s re-election effort.

“In November 2024, democracy is on the ballot — and we must all vote for democracy and against autocracy,” she wrote, linking back to a January 6, 2021 entry stating: “What is happening on the streets of Washington, D.C., especially outside the U.S. Capitol, with the President’s urging, is no less than a lawless, violent insurrection.”

Soifer’s partisanship extends beyond social media posts, however. From May 2013 through September 2015, she served as the chairwoman of the Travis County Democrat Party. In that role, she claims to have “raised over a million dollars and ran a very successful coordinated campaign for the 2014 election.”

FEC data also reveals Soifer contributed $10,285.40 to Joe Biden’s re-election efforts and Democrat-aligned groups like the pro-LGBTQ Human Rights Campaign over the last year. Since 2016, when Soifer was first elected to the bench in Travis County, she has donated nearly $250,000 to Democrat candidates and organizations.

The Texas Supreme Court authorized the resumption of the whistleblower case after the State Senate acquitted Paxton on all 16 impeachment charges brought by the Texas House of Representatives in September of last year.

Montana U.S. Senate Candidate Tim Sheehy Is Hiding Past Support For ESG, Chinese Investments.

Multi-millionaire businessman Tim Sheehy, the Republican establishment’s anointed candidate to challenge Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) in 2024, appears to have built most of his wealth through corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) schemes, government contracts, and investments with companies linked to the Chinese Communist Party. Sheehy is expected to face off against conservative Congressman Matt Rosendale (R-MT) in the state’s Republican Senate primary — where the former Navy Seal’s investments and ‘woke’ business practices will likely draw attention.

Born in Shoreview, Minnesota, Sheehy relocated to Montana in 2014 after the end of his service in the U.S. military. With investments from his wife and family, Sheehy founded Bridger Aerospace — initially intending to provide aerial tracking support to Montana ranchers. However, Sheehy quickly pivoted to using his fleet of aircraft — now at 22 planes — to combat wildfires.

Cashing In On Corporate ESG.

Bridger Aerospace pitches its business as part of the fight against climate change, playing up its alignment with corporate ESG policies to draw in investors and secure federal government contracts. A public offering prospectus claims the company is uniquely suited to capitalize on a “market without a significant number of public-ready, fundamentally-driven ESG businesses.” Additionally, the document states: “Bridger’s Mission is to fight wildfires that cause hundreds of billions of dollars of economic damage and emit hundreds of millions of metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually.”

Since declaring his bid for the U.S. Senate, however, Sheehy has tried publicly portraying himself as a critic of ESG policies and has called President Joe Biden’s climate change agenda “disgraceful.” Early last year, Bridger Aerospace dropped references to climate change and ESG corporate governance from its website.

Bridger Aerospace officially went public in January 2023 with a valuation of $900 million.

Chinese Investments.

Aside from his involvement in the corporate ESG agenda, Sheehy — until recently — held investments in foreign companies with deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Throughout 2023, Sheehy sold off shares he held in the Chinese tech conglomerate Tencent. The technology company that owns WeChat has deep ties to the CCP’s intelligence and propaganda apparatuses.

Former President Donald Trump signed an executive order in 2020 banning WeChat in the U.S. over national security concerns. A federal court ruling later blocked the order from taking effect.

Sheehy has tried to quietly dump investments in other companies with ties to Huawei, Alibaba, and Baidu — all Chinese-based firms with ties to the CCP. The U.S. State Department considers Huawei and Tencent “Communist Chinese military companies.”
