Top Globalist, Former EU Prez Likely to Retake Power in Poland.

Law and Justice (PiS), Poland’s governing national conservative party, has likely lost power to a coalition of liberal parties led by former European Council president Donald Tusk in an election with record-high turnout.

Exit and late polls indicate PiS, which became the first party since the fall of communism to win an outright majority in the Polish legislature in 2015, and retained power in 2019, will still be the largest party in the Sejm (roughly equivalent to the U.S. House of Representatives) once all the votes are counted – but not large enough to govern alone.

Tusk’s Civic Coalition (KO), comprised of several “centrist” and left-leaning parties, is in second, but the smaller Third Way (TD) and New Left (Nowa Lewice/NL) coalitions have indicated they will ally with Tusk to form a combined government. The three together should be able to command a slim but decisive legislative majority.

Konfederacja (Confederation), a pro-tax cuts, anti-mass migration party, ruled out forming a coalition with PiS prior to the elections, but may have enabled it to continue leading a minority government in exchange for key policy concession. It appears to have performed far below expectations, however, and will most likely be unable to help PiS reach the required 231-seat majority to pass a budget.

PiS organized four referendums to fall on the same day as the election. Voters were asked whether state-owned companies should be sold to foreign entities, whether the European Union should be allowed to impose migrant quotas on Poland, whether a border wall should be dismantled, and whether the retirement age, which PiS lowered to 60 for women and 65 for men, should be increased. All four proposals appear to have been rejected by overwhelming margins of over 95 percent.

Tusk increased the retirement age to 67 when he was Prime Minister, and his party agreed to a EU migrant quotas and opposed the border wall. They have attempted to sabotage the referendums, however, by urging supporters to boycott them, as results are not binding unless over 50 percent of the electorate participates.

Currently, turnout in the elections stands at over 70 percent, but turnout in the referendums is hovering around 45 percent.

RFK’s New Campaign Manager Is a CIA Agent.

Robert F Kennedy Jr. has replaced his presidential campaign manager, former Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich, with his daughter-in-law, who also happens to be a Central Intelligence Service (CIA) agent.

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, married to RFK‘s son of the same name, was announced as Kucinich’s replacement this weekend, after he suggested the campaign needed a “new direction.” Kucinich, who also ran for president on two occasions, had been RFK’s campaign manager since the latter announced his presidential run earlier this year.

“Amaryllis is a woman of extraordinary intelligence and drive who I am confident will take this campaign to the next level,” said RFK in a statement following the announcement.

Amaryllis spent a decade at the CIA working in the organization’s most elite and clandestine operations unit. Her memoir suggests she was deployed to 16 different countries as part of her goal of hunting some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists.

Her writings, however, have been criticized as “grossly exaggerated” and “BS” by multiple senior CIA colleagues. William Murray, a CIA operations official, said: “You don’t go wandering around Karachi on your own… You’ll wind up in some warlord’s harem, or you’ll wind up dead.”

Amaryllis joins the senior campaign staff as RFK is coming under increased scrutiny from both sides following his decision to run as an independent in next year’s presidential election. Last week, RFK was left dumbfounded in an interview with Sean Hannity in which the latter bombarded the presidential candidate with questions exposing his liberal politics.

WATCH: Orban Says EU Has ‘Raped Poland and Hungary’ by Forcing Migration Pact.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban says the European Union (EU) has “legally raped Poland and Hungary” by “forcing through” a new Migration Pact which requires all EU member-states to make so-called “solidarity contributions” during times of high illegal immigration.

Despite opposing EU border states’ policy of allowing boat migrants to land in Europe in large numbers, often facilitated by nonprofits funded by the German government, Poland and Hungary will now be required to take a share of the migrants, take over examining their asylum claims, or make “financial contributions” to provide for them.

Orban has vowed to fight back against the Migration Pact, insisting “there will be no compromise on migration. Not today, and not in the upcoming years. We will defend our borders from migrants and from the Brussels bureaucrats as well!”

Led by national conservative governments, Poland and Hungary successfully resisted EU efforts to impose migrant quotas on them in 2015, when Germany’s former leader Angela Merkel attempted to recover from the migrant crisis she created by redistributing the new arrivals across Europe.

Similarly, the new migration redistribution scheme follows Italian leader Giorgia Meloni’s failure to stop and unprecedented influx of boat migrants. While she promised to implement a naval blockade to end the crisis before she was elected, she has refused to do so now she is in office, attempting to lighten Italy’s burden by having the EU move migrants on to other European countries instead.

Hungary may find it harder to resist the new pact if the Polish government changes after national elections later this month, however, with polls suggesting globalist former European Council president Donald Tusk could take over the country.

An IRS Contractor Pleaded Guilty to Leaking Trump’s Tax Returns.

Charles Edward Littlejohn, a former contractor for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), pleaded guilty to unauthorized disclosure of tax returns on Thursday. Littlejohn, 38, was charged with stealing tax return information and providing it to two news outlets from 2018 to 2020. Sentencing is set for January 29th, with a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

“The unauthorized theft and disclosure of tax return information by government employees or contractors is a serious breach of the public’s trust,” commented Acting Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri.

“The American people have every right to expect the utmost integrity from those who are granted access to sensitive taxpayer information through their employment with the IRS,” added Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) Deputy Inspector General Trevor Nelson.

In addition to Trump, whom the Justice Department did not name in their statement but is known to be Littlejohn’s main victim due to admissions he made to the court, the contractor “separately stole tax return information for thousands of the nation’s wealthiest individuals.”

REVEALED: Boris Johnson’s Girlfriend Carrie Symonds Was ‘The Real Person in Charge’.

WhatsApp messages from Boris Johnson’s tenure as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom reveal key figures in his government considered his then girlfriend, now wife, Carrie Symonds to be “the real person in charge” of the British government and its decision making.

According to messages sent by Cabinet Secretary Simon Case, the UK press was wrong to label Dominic Cummings – the chief advisor to Johnson – as the “secret Prime Minister”.

“I was always told that [Dominic Cummings] was the secret PM. How wrong they are,” Johnson wrote in October of 2020. “I look forward to telling select [committee] tomorrow – ‘oh, fuck no, don’t worry about Dom, the real person in charge is Carrie’.”

The National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam extensively covered the outsized influence the former-Prime Minister’s significant other had on the U.K. government. According to Kassam, Johnson’s wife “…immediately corrupted what little semblance of conservatism Johnson once had, as only a third wife can… almost every single scandal had her bungling fingerprints all over it.”

Symonds reportedly directed government policy on a range of issues including transgenderism, environmental regulations, and the COVID-19 pandemic response. Benjamin Harris-Quinney, chairman of the conservative U.K. think-tank the Bow Group, told The National Pulse in February of 2021 that the power Symonds wielded in government raised serious constitutional concerns.

Harris-Quinney noted that unlike the First Lady of the United States, the spouse or partner of the Prime Minister has no real legal framework allowing for a direct role in government. The latest revelations from those who served in Johnson’s government serve as further confirmation that the un-elected, unaccountable Symonds, not Johnson or Cummings, ran the U.K.

DeSantis ‘Pay for Play’ Scandal Emerges as Gov Gifts Top Jobs to Max Out Donors.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appointed two businessmen to the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation Board of Governors – the tax-exempt, government-owned property insurer of last resort in the Sunshine State – after they donated thousands of dollars to his presidential campaign.

The news comes at the same time Floridians find their insurance rates skyrocketing as a result of a major, state-wide, industry scandal.

Carlos contributed the maximum donation of $6,600 to the Ron DeSantis for President campaign committee – as did his wife – earlier this year.

Jamie Shelton, appointed to the Board on the same day as Beruff in early October, also gave the DeSantis campaign a maximum donation in May.

The appointments have led to accusations of “pay for play” in the Floridian government. Governor DeSantis has been accused of both granting favors to and receiving favors from multiple wealthy benefactors, as well as pressuring lobbyists into funding his presidential run.

Early on in his campaign, Florida lobbyists were sent texts by publicly-funded state employees, supposedly acting in a personal capacity, soliciting donations through a text system tracking who was and was not giving money.

“What the f— am I supposed to do?” said one lobbyist who felt he might be punished for declining the request. “I have a lot of business in front of the DeSantis administration.”

Scalise Drops from Speaker’s Race.

Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., announced Thursday evening that he would no longer be running for the position of House speaker. This decision comes just a day after he appeared to secure the GOP’s nomination for the top job.

Following a closed-door meeting with fellow Republicans, Scalise informed his colleagues of his choice to withdraw his name from consideration. Speaking to reporters outside of the meeting, Scalise stated, “Our conference still has to come together and is not there. There are still some people that have their own agendas.”

Scalise emphasized the need for unity within the party, saying, “This House of Representatives needs a speaker and we need to open up the House again. But clearly, not everybody is there. And they’re still schisms that have to get resolved.”

Scalise’s decision and comments suggest that there may be divisions within the Republican party that need to be addressed before a new speaker can be chosen. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

Neocon Ron: DeSantis Accuses Trump of ‘Praising’ Hezbollah Amidst New War Push.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has launched his most brazen attack on former President Donald Trump to date, claiming Trump “attack[ed] our friend and ally, Israel” and falsely claiming he “praise[d] Hezbollah terrorists” during a speech in Florida.

The clip of Trump’s speech, however, undermines the claim. In context, it is clear the 45th President was referring to how “smart” Hezbollah leadership has been in comparison with the Biden government’s capabilities.

“I read all of Biden’s security people, can you imagine, national defense people, and they said ‘Gee, I hope Hezbollah doesn’t attack from the north, because that’s the most vulnerable spot!'” Trump said.

“You know, Hezbollah’s very smart, they’re all very smart. The press doesn’t like when I say it… I said that President Xi of China, 1.4 billion people, he controls it with an iron fist, I said he’s very smart – they killed me the next day,” he recalled.

In lock step with the corporate media, DeSantis chose to misrepresent this as “praise” for America’s enemies, rather than a sober warning not to reveal weaknesses that terrorists could exploit.

Trump described the Hamas raid as “savage” in the full version of his speech, and recalled how he “fought for Israel like no President in history, but then Crooked Joe Biden came along and tossed Israel to the bloodthirsty jihadists” by loosening sanctions on Iran and restoring aid to Gaza and the West Bank.

DeSantis’s claim that Trump attacked Israel also bore no resemblance to reality, as the 45th President was discussing Israeli intelligence failures, not the nation as a whole. Indeed, a full 86 percent of Israeli respondents to a poll released Thursday say their government’s failures were to blame for the Hamas attack.

DeSantis’s team have also been amplifying prominent neoconservatives in their attempt to frame Trump’s comments negatively, with national spokeswoman Carly Atchison sharing a post by war hawk Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin alleging the former president was “criticizing Bibi Netanyahu and Israel and praising Hezbollah as ‘smart.'” Griffin, in turn, was sharing a post by a Democrat PAC known as Meidas Touch, which was explicitly formed by the far-left to attack Donald Trump.

Neoconservatives have been using the backdrop of the Hamas attack on Israel to try and foment a new war with Iran.

U.S. is ‘Vibrant Enough’ to Fund Both Israel & Ukraine, Claims Biden Govt.

The United States is a “large enough, big enough, economically viable and vibrant enough country to be able to support both” Israel and Ukraine under Joe Biden, insists National Security Council strategic communications co-ordinator John Kirby.

“Both are important,” Kirby said – although whether American taxpayers really can fund the Israeli and Ukrainian militaries simultaneously appears questionable.

U.S. officials have already lamented a “mountain of steel” was built up for the Ukrainian counter-offensive this year, which has achieved very little progress and certainly no breakthrough with little time left before the Autumn rains render further operations unviable. They do not believe similar “mountain” can be found for the Ukrainians to undertake a second such counter-offensive, as “it doesn’t exist.”

Biden himself has already publicly admitted American ammunition is now running “low” – causing Donald Trump to rebuke him for undermining national security – and has had to resort to restocking Ukraine with cluster bombs, outlawed by many U.S. allies for their tendency to litter the ground with unexploded submunitions which kill and maim civilians for years.

Such reserves as still exist will doubtless be further depleted by the decision to send munitions to the Israelis, announced shortly after the Hamas terror raid on the Jewish State over the weekend.

DATA: Americans Don’t Seem to Mind Who Trump Picks as VP.

A strong majority of former President Donald Trump‘s grassroots supporters – 57 percent – are not concerned about his choice for his running mate in the 2024 presidential election, according to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey.

Rasmussen pollsters offered those surveyed a number of options for Trump’s potential Vice President, including whether they would be more inclined to vote for the 45th President if he chose a female, black, or non-political running mate. No option received more than 15 percent support.

Only 13 percent answered they were more likely to vote for Trump if he selected a female candidate. Eight percent said choosing a black person would make them more likely to support Trump next year. And a further 15 percent argued they were more likely to vote for him if he chose a “non-politician as his vice presidential running mate.” The remaining seven percent answered “not sure.”

The former President himself has toyed with the idea of a female vice president in his next administration, telling an interviewer in September, “I like the concept, but we’re going to pick the best person.”
