12 Years Jail For Pakistani Cricketer Who Put Bounty on Populist Geert Wilders.

A former Pakistani international cricketer has been sentenced to 12 years imprisonment in the Netherlands after he placed a three million rupee (then around €21,000/$22,500) bounty on the head of the Dutch populist conservative leader Geert Wilders in 2018.

Khalid Latif, who made 15 appearances for Pakistan across multiple formats of the sport, posted a video targeting Wilders after the Dutch politician announced a contest to depict the Islamic prophet Mohammed – a competition which was later canceled.

A Dutch court found on Monday that the video actively incited violence, murder, and sedition against the politician, stating, “he promises to pay a considerable sum of money to anyone who engages in a specific act, namely the killing of Mr Wilders… It is very likely that someone – anywhere in the world – would feel compelled to act on this call.”

This is the first time the Netherlands has tried a non-national living abroad, as Latif resides in Pakistan. He did not deploy a lawyer at the trial.

Following the decision, Wilders took to X (formerly Twitter) to demand Latif’s extradition to the Netherlands:

“[Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte] and [the Minister of Justice and Security Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius]  must put strong pressure on the Pakistani authorities to cooperate in the arrest and extradition of this now convicted criminal, otherwise he will still avoid punishment.”

Putin Says Trump Charges Are ‘Politically Motivated’.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has argued that the four criminal indictments of former President Donald Trump amount to the persecution of a political opponent and undermine the American claim to democracy.

Putin made the remarks during an Eastern Economic Forum meeting in the Russian city of Vladivostok on Tuesday morning, telling his audience:

“Everything that is happening with Trump is the persecution of a political rival for political reasons. That’s what it is. And this is being done in front of the public of the United States and the whole world.”

What is happening “is good because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others democracy,” added the Russian President, who has been in power for over two decades.

Putin also went on to explain relations between Russia and the United States were likely to improve or “change radically” in the near future, regardless of who becomes the next U.S. President in January 2025. He also refused to answer whether he would seek re-election during Russia’s elections next year.

Giuliani Left Memorial Early, Protesting Kamala Harris’s 9/11 ‘Insult’.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani left the 9/11 memorial ceremony early on Monday, protesting the presence of Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Giuliani is credited with his steadfast leadership of the city during the deadly and horrific terrorist attacks 22 years ago.

In an interview with Newsmax host Greg Kelly, Giuliani expressed his concerns about the current state of national security, saying that he believes the country is in more danger under President Joe Biden’s government than it was before 9/11.

Giuliani specifically criticized Harris and Mayorkas, citing the unchecked flow of undocumented immigrants crossing the border without the government having proper knowledge of their identities. He also condemned Harris for comparing the January 6 Capitol riots to the 9/11 attacks and the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which he described as an “unbelievable insult” to the victims of these tragedies.

Giuliani, who was mayor of New York City during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, expressed his frustration with the Democrats’ characterization of the Capitol riots and highlighted the significant loss of life and ongoing health consequences resulting from the horrific attacks on 9/11. He disputed the claim that the Capitol riots were an insurrection and emphasized that no one has been convicted of such a charge.

REVEALED: Media Reports Slamming GOP for Biden Impeachment is Soros Dark Money Op.

The Guardian newspaper has laundered a progressive dark money group’s talking points in an effort to undermine an expected U.S. House of Representatives impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, the National Pulse can reveal.

Citing a shadowy pop-up ground known as the “Congressional Integrity Project,” the Guardian argues that Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), who chairs the House Oversight Committee, “has repeatedly overhyped allegations of bribery and corruption against Biden without once producing hard evidence.”

The Congressional Integrity Project, however, is far from a non-partisan public interest watchdog.

Kyle Herrig, who serves as the organizations executive director, is also a former executive director for the powerful progressive dark money clearing house, the New Venture Fund (NVF). The NVF, and its subsidiary organizations, spread millions of donor dollars among radical progressive activist organizations in an effort to influence U.S. politics and elections – and helping to conceal the actual donor sources such as billionaire George Soros.

The New Venture Fund was also linked with 2020’s election rigging processes, partnering with Mark Zuckerberg’s Center for Tech and Civic Life and founding the Center for Secure and Modern Elections, which has lobbied for elections changes that would make voter fraud even easier.

Herrig is also deeply entangled in the NVF network – serving as a senior adviser to Accountable.US, a far-left organization that discourages corporations and individual donors from contributing to center-right non-profits. He also serves on the board of American Oversight, a progressive pressure group that is behind the witch-hunt to force Justice Clarence Thomas off of the Supreme Court. American Oversight, like the Congressional Integrity Project, launders its talking points through the corporate media.

Brad Woodhouse, a former DNC spokesman, also serves on the Congressional Integrity Projects board; while Leslie Dach, a former VP of corporate affairs for Walmart and advisor to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, serves as a senior advisor.

The two most recently available IRS 990 forms for the Congressional Integrity Project show the organization received just two major donations in 2020 and 2021 for $1 million and $500,000 respectively. Public records suggest both donations came from the SixteenThirty Fund which is managed, in turn, by NVF.

At no point did the Guardian reveal any of this information to its readers before publishing its article claiming boosting the work of the Congressional Integrity Project.

WATCH: Democrat House Hopeful Demanded $$$ for Live Sex Acts.

Susanna Gibson, a Democrat candidate in a highly contested race for the Virginia House of Delegates, spent her spare time demanding payment for livestreamed sex acts with her husband on the internet. The mother of two and nurse practitioner is reported to have performed the sex acts on the website Chaturbate, where she had more than 5,700 followers. She told viewers she was “raising money for a good cause” in at least two of the explicit videos.

https://twitter.com/jrmajewski/status/1701432120323817820?s=46&t=ju97GtH3R5ftTcf9h1FWhw

The candidate’s lawyer, Daniel P. Watkins, says they are working with law enforcement and that the dissemination of the explicit videos violates Virginia law which states: “Any person who, with the intent to coerce, harass, or intimidate, maliciously disseminates or sells…” explicit images or videos “…where such person knows or has reason to know that he is not licensed or authorized to disseminate or sell such…” explicit images or videos “…is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.”

At least one individual doesn’t see a problem with Gibson’s secondary career. Adult entertainment industry lawyer, Corey D. Silverstein, responded to the incident saying, “I think it’s fantastic you have someone running who has an open sex life. It’s actually very refreshing.”

Control over the Virginia House of Delegates, the commonwealth’s lower legislative body, will be decided in this November in what is expected to be close election. The Republican Governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, has built a sizable war chest to help ensure Republicans maintain control of the House and hopes to flip the State Senate, ending the current slim Democrat majority.

Team DeSantis Bemoans Primary Rules, Says They Aid Trump.

Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign is expected to fight against California’s new presidential primary rules during the state’s Republican Party convention at the end of September. In July, the CAGOP transitioned to a winner-take-all system, instead of allocating presidential primary delegates by Congressional district. Now if a candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote state-wide, they capture all of the state’s delegates. If no candidate reaches that benchmark, delegates are awarded proportionally.

President Donald Trump leads the field in California by over 50 points, appearing to be on track to secure all of the state’s 169 delegates. DeSantis, polling a distant 2nd place with only 16 percent would be awarded no delegates, angering Tallahassee-based consultants such as Erin Perrine, the official spokesman for DeSantis’s Never Back Down political action committee (PAC).

Perrine – who previously worked for the failed Dr. Oz campaign, as well as Trump’s 2020 re-election bid – said the changes were “Trump-inspired rigging”, arguing the California GOP was “making grassroots involvement impossible.”

The CA GOP says the changes are not for any particular candidate, but instead about ensuring the party is in compliance with new Republican National Committee (RNC) rules. The RNC has emphasized the need for primary candidates to campaign across the whole state and not just specific congressional districts in which they’re competitive.

In late August, Never Back Down ended its paid door-knocking operations in California, as well as in Nevada – another state where the DeSantis campaign is accusing the state party of attempting to rig the election for Trump.

So after months of DeSantis and his online allies slamming Trump for talking about the rigging of 2020, they’re now accusing their own party – in California no less! – of rigging the primary against them? I knew this was all going to get a bit undignified and shameless, but the depths to which they’re now sinking is beyond what any of us imagined, I believe

DATA: 3 in 4 Republicans Want Mitch McConnell Out.

The vast majority of Republican voters – 74 percent – agree that GOP Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell should resign from his position, with a whopping 49 percent “strongly agreeing” and another 25 percent “somewhat agreeing”, according to a recent survey of 1,062 likely voters from Rasmussen Reports.

Just one in five Republicans disagreed, with only three percent telling the pollsters that they “strongly disagree,” and want McConnell to stay. A further eight percent answered that they were not sure.

The same respondents were asked what their impression of McConnell is, to which only 34 percent of Republicans gave a positive response. Just seven percent answered “very favorable,” with 27 percent answering “somewhat favorable.” In fact, more Democrats have a “very favorable” impression of McConnell than GOP voters, at 12 percent.

The majority of Republicans have an unfavorable impression of McConnell at 56 percent, with 29 percent having a “very unfavorable” impression and 27 percent answering “somewhat unfavorable.”

McConnell’s health has been increasingly questioned over the past several months after he has twice fallen into a catatonic state while giving press conferences and having to be dragged away by his aides.

Meanwhile, McConnell-world is openly panicking about their D.C. grift coming to an end, with chief McConnell consultant Josh Holmes and his “partner” Michael Duncan having full-fledged X (formerly Twitter) breakdowns and threatening to deport right-wing reporters who stand against McConnell or his friend Brian Kemp in Georgia.

Based Vivek: ‘Deport US Citizens Born to Illegals’.

Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican businessman running for president in 2024, has stated that under his theoretical administration, children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants would be deported. This stance challenges the concept of birthright citizenship, which grants automatic citizenship to all persons born in the United States according to the 14th Amendment.

The position differs drastically from the camp of Florida Governor Ron Desantis, whose chief communications strategist Christina Pushaw has argued that she “supports” illegal immigrants and would try to establish a path to citizenship for them.

Ramaswamy says the language of the 14th Amendment can be interpreted to exclude the children of illegal immigrants. Despite being a political newcomer, Ramaswamy remains competitive among non-Trump candidates in Iowa.

In addition to his views on immigration, Ramaswamy has made bold claims about his ability to bring transformation to the federal government, vowing to dismantle the Department of Education. His campaign has recently gained momentum in Iowa, where he polls ahead of Senator Tim Scott, and former Governor Nikki Haley.

Pelosi Pledges Re-Election Run Next Year. She’ll Be 84.

Nancy Pelosi, twice the United States House of Representatives Speaker and former House Minority leader, will run to be re-elected to Congress in 2024, despite the fact she will be 84 years old next year.

Pelosi, first elected to the House of Representatives when Ronald Reagan was President in 1987, announced her intention to run in front of a number of her constituents in San Francisco on Friday, and went on to explain: “Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote.”

“Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery,” she added.

The former House Speaker has become infamous in recent years for having twice impeached former President Donald Trump and “somehow” having accrued a net worth of over $100 million despite her annual salary being in the hundreds of thousands.

Her decision to run again has re-ignited the debate surrounding America’s increasingly obvious gerontocracy, with senior political figures, such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (81), Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein (90), and President Joe Biden (80), all showing signs of advanced age. The oldest Republican senator is Iowa’s Chuck Grassley, who turns 90 this month.

Glitch McConnell Staffer Pledges to Deport Conservative Reporters.

Josh Holmes, the former Chief of Staff and Campaign Manager to Mitch McConnell and who now spends most of his time defending Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, has pledged to deport populist conservative reporters from the United States in an effort to preserve the current NeoCon and RINO (Republican In Name Only) order.

Holmes, after claiming the U.S. immigration system is worse than he thought because the editor of The National Pulse, Raheem Kassam, is permitted to reside in the country, told Kassam on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday evening:

“You have my word that if I ever get an opportunity I will support rigorous reforms to reunite you with your homeland.”

Kassam responded, “Your word is as valuable as your philosophy. So I reckon I’m alright,” highlighting the failure of the Republican Party, led by politicians like McConnell, to assume any control over the United States’ immigration system before the election of former President Donald Trump.

It is far from the first time so-called D.C. “conservatives” have attacked actual right wing reporters, with Team DeSantis showing regular disdain for those who refuse to peddle their anti-Trump narratives.

Holmes, who runs the hyper-establishment consulting chop shop known as “Cavalry,” is often seen “mentoring” young men in the city.

The “Republican” Georgia Governor Brian Kemp also showed his contempt for conservatives after he defended and rejected calls to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the Georgia indictment of the 45th President.
