Joe Biden was being interviewed as part of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into the discovery of classified documents in his Delaware home and private office at the Penn Biden Center, formerly run by Antony Blinken, as Hamas was unleashing an unprecedented attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip.
The White House has confirmed the 80-year-old Democrat was answering questions about the presence of classified documents in an office closet and in boxes near the spot in his garage where he kept his Corvette over Sunday and Monday, apparently voluntarily.
Biden’s possession of classified documents has received relatively little legacy media attention, and has been investigated much less aggressively than Donald Trump keeping similar material at his Mar-a-Lago estate – despite the fact Biden, as a former vice president and senator, did not have the same authority to declassify sensitive material as Trump.
The timing of Biden’s interview, in the midst of the international crisis following a huge incursion by Hamas terrorists into Israel and a devastating Israeli response, is unusual.
Trump has accused Biden of taking his eye of the ball in the Middle East, empowering state sponsors of terrorism such as Iran and “tossing Israel to the bloodthirsty terrorists and jihadists”.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has quickly consolidated support among House conservatives as a candidate for Speaker. The Ohio Congressman spent much of his early career in Congress as a conservative counter to the more moderate Republican leadership. However under the previous Speakership of Kevin McCarthy, Jordan became a key leadership ally as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
First elected in 2006, Rep. Jordan has long been considered one of the Republican conference’s most conservative members. From 2011 to 2013, Jordan chaired the powerful Republican Study Committee (RSC). In 2023 the RSC and Rep. Jordan played an integral role in forcing a government shutdown in an effort to make substantial changes to Obamacare. Louisiana Republican Steve Scalise, Jordan’s current competitor for the Speaker’s gavel, succeeded him as chairman of the RSC in 2013.
In 2015, Jordan along with other House conservatives founded the Freedom Caucus, for which he served as its first chairman. The caucus has been at the center of efforts to push House Republicans in a more conservative direction.
Before becoming a McCarthy ally, Jordan was one of the former Speaker’s chief political opponents. When Speaker Paul Ryan retired from Congress, Jordan announced he would challenge McCarthy for the Speakership. When Republicans subsequently lost the House during the 2018 midterms, Jordan and McCarthy both ran for Minority Leader, with McCarthy ultimately prevailing 159–43 among Republican members.
Despite Rep. Jordan’s strong conservative bonafides, some in Washington, D.C. remain skeptical of a Jordan Speakership as he maintains close ties to several Big Tech firms and their political operations. The Ohio Congressman has been one of the key opponents of bi-partisan efforts to reform U.S. anti-trust laws – efforts the Big Tech companies have aggressively opposed.
According to public records, Jordan’s campaign committee received nearly $10,000 from Apple, $5,000 from semiconductor manufacturer Broadcom (the target of an EU anti-trust investigation) in 2022. Pfizer donated just over $13,000 to Jordan in 2020, while Microsoft gave nearly $7,000. Google contributed $11,000 to Jordan in 2018 and $10,000 in 2016. Since being first elected in 2006, Jordan has also received nearly $15,000 from the Consumer Technology Association PAC, a conduit for Big Tech money in politics.
One of Jordan’s key aides on the Judiciary Committee, Tyler Grimm, attended the January 2023 CES trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada. CES is an annual technology industry event organized by the Consumer Technology Association. According to House Ethics Committee disclosures, Grimm’s flight, lodging, registration fee, and meals were all paid for by the Consumer Technology Association. Key staffers for a number of Democrats and Republicans received similar arrangements from the Big Tech lobbying group per the Ethics Committee. Grimm is purported to be the author of a particularly hostile 2020 Judiciary Committee memo critical of Republican and Democrat efforts to use anti-trust as means of breaking up Big Tech companies.
On matters of fiscal and social conservatism, Rep. Jordan’s record has been exemplary among Republican members. However, conservatives who have worked to reign in Big Tech appear to hold reservations regarding the Congressman’s record.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK) was left startled in his latest interview with Sean Hannity after the Fox News host bombarded the newly declared Independent candidate for the 2024 presidential election with a number of questions about his overall fealty to left-wing political causes and candidates.
Hannity, explaining the potential for a three-way race in next year’s election, told RFK Jr. he had researched his background and concluded that he is “pretty liberal.”
“[Y]ou’ve called for curbing logging, oil drilling, fracking. You wanted to eliminate it. You called it… a victory for democracy. You wanna curb U.S. fossil fuel extraction. “Keep it in the ground,” you once tweeted. You want a ban on fossil fuel extraction, a ban on fracking. You called the NRA once, a ‘terror group,'” Hannity stated.
“You supported, over the years, Democrats – Gore, Kerry, Obama, Hillary. You praised Bernie Sanders multiple times. You support affirmative action. So, why is this party of yours– why didn’t they want to allow you to compete? ‘Cause that’s as pretty liberal of a record as anybody I know,” the Fox News host added.
RFK Jr tried to dismiss the summary as a “litany of talking points… I’ve made over 40 years,” yet Hannity fired back at the claim, telling the lifelong Democrat that the statements were from the past decade. The two went on to discuss Kennedy’s comments on the National Rifle Association (NRA) and fracking, among other issues.
Since declaring his candidacy, RFK Jr has courted a number of conservatives due to his strong stances on issues, such as vaccine mandates, COVID-19 policies, and ending U.S. involvement in forever wars.
He announced his independent run on Monday, much to the chagrin of his former party members and even his own family, who collectively called it “dangerous to our country.”

Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) has emerged as one of the top two contenders for the vacant position of Speaker of the House. The 58 year old Louisiana Congressman began quietly whipping votes for the top job just moments after McCarthy was ousted by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). The case for a Scalise speakership centers on his decades of political experience, quick ascent through Republican House leadership ranks, and the compelling fact he has literally had to battle for his life, twice.
Known for being a Member that works quietly behind to the scenes to advance legislation, it surprised some that Scalise played a fairly major role in Republican Congressional pushback against Big Tech. According to Nathan Leamer, a Trump administration appointee who served as a senior advisor to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, Scalise was quick to work with conservatives who were concerned Google was throttling political fundraising and activist emails.
“Steve Scalise was ground zero of the effort to push back against Google censoring Republican emails,” Leamer told The National Pulse, while indicating Scalise allowed conservative tech experts to examine his own email data, noting that it was “extremely helpful in holding Google accountable.”
Some have reservations, however. Notably, former President Donald Trump has endorsed Scalise’s opponent, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). Members of Republican Leadership often have to take hard votes that can upset both more conservative Members and voters alike. Votes to support government omnibus bills and continuing resolutions over the past years have resulted in Scalise only attaining a 75 out of 100 ‘Conservative’ life-time score from Heritage Action. Similarly, NumbersUSA says Scalise’s voting record on curbing mass immigration has only earned him a “B” grade.
Prior to serving in Congress, Scalise served in the Louisiana state legislature from 1996 until 2008. In May 2008, he won a special election for Congress, replacing Rep. Bobby Jindal (R-LA), who had just been elected as governor. In 2013 the Louisiana Congressman took over the conservative Republican Study Committee, succeeding Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). Just over a year later, Scalise joined House Republican leadership as Whip. When Republicans retook the House majority after the 2022 mid-term elections he ascended to House Majority Leader.
In June of 2017, Congressman Scalise was shot by Democrat activistand Sen. Bernie Sanders supporter James Hodgkinson during a Republican practice for the Congressional Baseball Game. Hodgkinson fired upwards of 50 rounds from a rifle before police were able to locate him and end the rampage. The bullet that hit Scalise traveled through his pelvis, resulting in organ damage and severe internal bleeding caused by shattered bone. According to Dr. Jack Sava, when Scalise arrived at MedStar Washington Hospital he was in shock and faced “an imminent risk of death.” After several surgeries and an extensive hospital stay, Scalise returned to Congress in September of 2017.
Last month, Scalise was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Prior to the announcement, Scalise said he had already begun treatment and would continue with his work as a Member of Congress. The Louisiana Congressman has said that doctors believe his prognosis is very good and that the initial rounds of treatment have reduced the presence of cancer in his body.

The House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement have produced new data showing the Joe Biden regime has “failed to remove, through immigration court removal proceedings, over 99 percent of those illegal aliens who have been released into the country” since the elderly Democrat took office.
“Of the more than 5 million illegal alien encounters from January 20, 2021, through March 31, 2023, at least 2,464,424 illegal aliens had no confirmed departure from the United States as of March 31, 2023,” the committees, headed by Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Tom McClintock, record in their latest interim staff report.
“Of the illegal aliens encountered in those 26 months, [the Department of Homeland Security] released at least 2,148,738 illegal aliens into the United States,” the report adds.
The committees found only a tiny fraction of asylum seekers released into the country – six percent – had even been screened for a reasonable fear of persecution in their supposed homelands.
“This data contradict[s] [Homeland Security] Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas’ statements that the southwest border is closed and that illegal aliens are ‘quickly’ removed,” the report warns.
“Instead, with more than 99 percent of illegal aliens staying inside the United States after being released by the Biden Administration, there is virtually no enforcement of our immigration laws.”

The Equality PAC, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) PAC, and the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) Action Fund have endorsed Joe Bide for reelection in 2024, insisting his “leadership is crucial now more than ever as LGBTQ+ Americans are living in a state of emergency – experiencing unprecedented attacks from extremist politicians and their right-wing allies in states across the country, who are working tirelessly to erase us.”
“Without question, the Biden Administration has been the strongest advocate for the needs of transgender Americans of any presidential administration in American history,” NCTE Action Fund executive director Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen said.
The LGBT lobbyists seem particularly exercised by moves in some conservative-led states to stop medics from performing surgeries on minors and prescribing powerful hormones and puberty blockers to them in an attempt to “transition” them from male to female, and vice versa – a poorly evidenced experimental treatment for gender dysphoria increasingly associated with negative health outcomes.
Biden’s chief rival for the presidency, Donald Trump, has vowed to pass a law “prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states” if returned to the White House, and declare “any hospital or healthcare provider participating in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare – and will be terminated from the program.”
He has also said he will work to establish “a private right of action for victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these procedures on minor children.”

Steve Cortes, a key aide and spokesman for Never Back Down, is leaving the pro-DeSantis SuperPAC according to spokeswoman Erin Perrine. “Steve launched his own show and left his role as a spokesman for Never Back Down. He will continue to support Governor DeSantis in his personal capacity,” Perrine said in response to the departure of Cortes.
The New York Times’s Maggie Haberman reported that while “Cortes didn’t respond to a message asking about his status after his Twitter/X bio dropped the Never Back Down affiliation… his high praise of Trump in some public appearances had caught attention among Republicans.”
DeSantis super PAC aide @CortesSteve has left the group, per spokeswoman Erin Perrine. Sorry. “Steve launched his own show and left his role as a spokesman for Never Back Down. He will continue to support Governor DeSantis in his personal capacity,” she says.
The departure of Cortes is just the latest blow to the DeSantis campaign as it continues to slide in state primary and national polls. The DeSantis campaign committee announced last week that they had raised just $5 million in the third quarter for the Republican primary contest. Ken Griffin, an early backer of the Florida governor’s campaign, blasted the lack of coherent messaging and indicated that he “has yet to decide who he plans to help.”
Last month, Cortes admitted on a Chicago radio show that Trump’s primary victory seemed inevitable. Cortes told the radio hosts regarding the likely Biden versus Trump contest in 2024, “It is a rematch that nobody wants yet it seems at this moment to be inevitable.”
The National Pulse has reached out to Cortes for comment.

Texas has now bused some 50,000 migrants from its territory to leftist “sanctuary cities” out of state, sparking outcry from mass migration advocates who imagined the border crisis would only be an issue for conservative-led border states.
New York City is currently the top destination for the Texan busing program, with some 18,500 migrants on almost 400 buses having arrived in the Big Apple since August 2022.
Democrat city mayor Eric Adams, who once advertised NYC as a “sanctuary city” and celebrated Joe Biden’s move to halt construction of Donald Trump’s border wall in 2021, now says he believes the migrant crisis “will destroy New York City.”
Chicago has received the second-largest number of migrants from Texas, at over 13,500 on almost 300 buses, while Washington D.C. has been sent over 12,500.
Denver, Colorado, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have received around 3,200 migrants apiece, while Los Angeles, which was added as a destination comparatively recently, has received just shy of a thousand.
Mayor Admas is not the only Democrat leader in the affected cities and states to be crying out now the border crisis is on his doorstep, with Illinois’s Governor J.B. Pritzker also complaining “the federal government’s lack of intervention and coordination at the border has created an untenable situation for Illinois.”
For all the furore about the busing program in Democrat cities, however, they are still dealing with only a fraction of the influx being inflicted on conservative-led border states, with a record-breaking 11,000 migrants crossing over in a single day in late Septemeber.

For the second day in a row now, the Biden White House has ‘called a lid‘ before noon – meaning members of the press should not expect any additional comments or public appearances from the President. The decision to end press availability so early in the day when many Americans remain on edge regarding events unfolding in the Middle East would be considered an unusual, if not reckless, move under any prior administration.
A little over an hour after the White House called the press lid, Hamas announced that they would begin executing hostages on live television for every citizen in Gaza killed by an Israeli airstrike. At least nine Americans have been confirmed dead after Hamas launched a deadly surprise incursion into Israel over the weekend and an unknown number have been taken hostage by the terrorist organization.
BREAKING: A spokesperson for Hamas just said that they are going to start executing civilian hostages they took from Israel on live TV for every IDF airstrike that hits a civilian in Gaza, which happens as a result of Hamas using them as human shields.
Yesterday, as Israeli forces fought to regain control towns and territory seized by Hamas terrorists the White House called an early press lid – again before noon. Later in the day when the designated White House press pool reporter inquired about the music they could hear coming from the Rose Garden, they were informed that President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were hosting a BBQ. The event was for White House Executive Staff and their families and featured a live band.
While there has been no indication from the White House that President Biden plans to deliver a formal address to the nation regarding the status of American hostages in Gaza or the ongoing crisis after Hamas’s barbaric attacks against Israel, the President will be delivering the keynote address at the pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner on Saturday.

Jeff Bezos’ Amazon and the mainstream media are in meltdown after the company’s virtual assistant technology, known as “Alexa,” told its users that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen by a massive amount of election fraud” and cited Rumble as its source.
Alexa also cited a Substack to argue that the election was “notorious for many incidents of irregularities and indications pointing to electoral fraud taking place in major metro centers.”
Amazon was forced to immediately announce it uses so-called credible sources, including Reuters, Ballotpedia, and RealClearPolitics, and would address the problem.
“These responses were errors that were delivered a small number of times, and quickly fixed when brought to our attention,” said Amazon spokeswoman Lauren Raemhild in a statement. “We continually audit and improve the systems we have in place for detecting and blocking inaccurate content,” Raemhild added.
The company altered the programming so that Alexa refuses to answer questions about the election. Yet, other questions still prompt Alexa to make claims that scrutinize the authenticity and reliability of the 2020 election.
Notably, 51 percent of Americans believe it is likely that “cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election,” with 35 percent arguing it is “very likely.”
