The EU is Taking Further Steps to Prolong the War in Ukraine.

The European Union (EU) has officially begun accession talks with Ukraine despite its ongoing war with Russia. A delegation from Ukraine will participate in an intergovernmental conference in Luxembourg to formally commence efforts to align Ukrainian laws and standards with those of the EU. Separately, Moldova, which applied for EU membership shortly after the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, will join in its own intergovernmental conference to initiate accession talks.

“Ukraine is returning to Europe,” President Volodymyr Zelensky declared after the EU agreed to initiate the talks.

Ukraine must harmonize its laws and standards across 35 critical areas with the EU, covering everything from the movement of goods to the judicial system. Approval from all 27 member states is required to either open or close each policy chapter.

Ukraine aims to achieve EU membership by 2030 but must first undertake extensive institutional and legal reforms, focusing particularly on anti-corruption measures. The country often ranks as the most corrupt in Europe. In recent months, the theft of money to pay for fortifications in the Kharkov (Kharkiv) region assisted in a significant Russian breakthrough.

The EU has exerted considerable influence in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia since 2014, during the Maidan coup. In May, Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-chief of The National Pulse, explained that the Maidan “was an act of war.”

Kassam also commented on recent developments, noting criticism among the Western media-political class of Reform Party leader Nigel Farage as “pro-Putin” due to his view the EU and NATO helped to instigate the war.

Kassam highlighted the “blackout” in British media with respect to criticism of Zelensky.

WATCH: UK’s Lord Cameron Lauds Lindsay Graham, Demands More Pressure on Trump Over Ukraine During PRANK Call!

Lord David Cameron, the British Foreign Secretary and former Prime Minister, was caught on camera urging a man he thought was a former Ukrainian prime minister to lobby U.S. Congressional Republicans and former President Donald J. Trump against negotiating a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.

“The most important thing, if you have any connection to Trump—the most important thing to get across to Trump, is that the Putin of today is far more extreme than the one that you were dealing with at the time of Minsk,” Lord Cameron can be heard saying during the conversation with Russian pranksters.

The British Foreign Secretary added: “I think we have to convince Trump of this. Trump thinks there’s some easy deal to make. And that’s not the case because Putin wants so much more.”

Lord Cameron continued: “I think that Trump needs to understand that.”

UKRAINE LOBBYING CONGRESS.

Later in the conversation, Cameron again urges that Ukrainian officials leverage any contacts they have in the Republican Party to push for further aid and U.S. support against Russia. Lord Cameron specifically named Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who he described as “pro-Ukraine.” More importantly, the British Foreign Secretary said, “…we’ve got to try and work out which ones are on the margins and which ones can be convinced.” He concluded: “Because that will all have an impact.”

LORD CAMERON LIED?

The British Foreign Secretary appears to have been duped by Russian pranksters into believing he was conversing with former Ukrainian prime minister Petro Poroshenko. Lord Cameron’s conversation raises concerns regarding the British—a long-standing U.S. ally—encouraging former Ukranian officials to engage in foreign influence operations in Washington, D.C.

In April, Cameron denied meeting with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson ahead of a pivotal Ukraine aid funding vote in Congress. The National Pulse reported at the time that Cameron acknowledged meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former President Trump but claimed he did not meet with Johnson regarding Ukraine. However, his unwitting conversation with the Russian prankers contradicts this claim. Lord Cameron appears to acknowledge speaking with Johnson, Trump, and Blinken.

Biden’s Ghostwriter, Who Deleted Recordings, May Be Next to Be Held in Contempt.

The House Judiciary Committee is preparing for a vote to hold Joe Biden’s ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, in contempt of Congress. Two sources confirmed this move, beginning with a “markup” session on Thursday followed by a committee vote. This sets the stage for a full House vote.

In March, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, a Republican, subpoenaed Zwonitzer after he failed to provide requested documents. These documents include transcripts, audio, and video recordings of his interviews with Biden for his memoirs.

The Republican-drafted resolution cites special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Hur’s report indicates Zwonitzer deleted interview recordings after learning of the investigation.

“The outside observer is going to look at this and say ‘Mark Zwonitzer, President Biden‘s friend, ghostwriter, collaborator learned of the special counsel’s investigation, saw this happening and then deleted all these audio recordings,’” one of Hur’s investigators said to Zwonitzer.

“I’m not going to say how much of the percentage it was of my motivation,” Zwonitzer replied.

Hur chose not to pursue charges against Biden or Zwonitzer.

House Republicans argue that Zwonitzer’s lack of full cooperation with the Judiciary Committee has impeded their investigation.

Previously, the House voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for refusing to turn over audio of Biden’s interview with Hur. However, the Department of Justice, controlled by Garland and Biden, says it will not prosecute Garland for contempt.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) says she will force a vote on exercising Congress’s constitutional power of inherent contempt and directing the House Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Garland.

Will The IRS Soon Have to Accept Bitcoin as Payment?

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is set to introduce legislation that would allow federal income tax payments to be made with Bitcoin. The bill aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, mandating the Treasury secretary to develop a plan for accepting Bitcoin as a form of tax payment.

In a recent interview, Gaetz emphasized the potential benefits of this move. “By enabling taxpayers to use Bitcoin for federal tax payments, we can promote innovation, increase efficiency, and offer more flexibility to American citizens,” he said. Gaetz added that this step would help the U.S. maintain its leadership in technological advancement by integrating digital currencies into the financial system.

The congressman, who recently attended the inauguration of El Salvador‘s President Nayib Bukele, noted the country’s adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender as a pivotal example. Gaetz is a close ally of former President Donald J. Trump, whose campaign recently began accepting cryptocurrency donations. Trump has criticized the Biden government for its regulatory stance on the crypto industry and has pledged to end what he calls the “war on crypto.”

The proposed legislation requires the Treasury to “prescribe” necessary regulations for accepting Bitcoin payments for “certain” federal taxes. It also calls for the immediate conversion of any received Bitcoin to its dollar equivalent at the end of each transaction. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) already mandates the reporting of transactions involving digital assets and taxation on crypto-related income or gains.

Several states, including New Jersey, Kentucky, and Colorado, have begun implementing their own crypto tax regulations, with Colorado even permitting cryptocurrency for tax payments.

States Restore ANTI-Mask Laws In Response To Violent Pro-Hamas Demos.

State legislatures are looking to reinstitute anti-mask laws after the measures were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lawmakers argue the laws need reinstituting to combat rising crime and violent attacks by pro-Hamas demonstrators on Jewish Americans.

In North Carolina earlier this month, the Republican legislature moved to reimpose a ban on masking in response to violent pro-Hamas protests on college campuses. Last week, Governor Roy Cooper (D-NC) vetoed the mask ban legislation, claiming it “removes protections and threatens criminal charges for people who want to protect their health by wearing a mask.” However, Republican legislators—who hold a three-fifths majority in both houses of the General Assembly—say they will overturn Cooper’s veto.

The National Pulse reported earlier this month that Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) is considering a partial ban on masks in the New York City subway system. Hochul’s move comes in response to public outcry regarding increasing crime in the city’s public transit network. During a news conference, the Democrat governor claimed she would “not tolerate individuals using masks to evade responsibility for criminal or threatening behavior.”

Hochul did not provide specific details about the prospective ban but said there would be exceptions for health, cultural, and religious reasons—meaning Muslims wearing face veils would be exempt. Critics of the state legislative actions re-enacting the mask bans include libertarian activists concerned about the impact on civil liberties and those still concerned about the pandemic and potential COVID-19 outbreaks.

The House Sergeant-at-Arms May Arrest Biden’s AG Merrick Garland

Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) says she’ll force a vote on directing the House Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Joe Biden‘s Attorney General Merrick Garland for contempt of Congress this week. According to the Florida Republican, she intends to introduce a privileged resolution invoking Congress’s constitutional power of inherent contempt after the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) said they would not pursue charges against Garland.

Two weeks ago, the Attorney General was held in contempt of Congress after refusing to hand over audio recordings of 81-year-old Joe Biden‘s interview sessions with DOJ special counsel Robert Hur regarding the mishandling of classified documents. Prior to the vote, Garland acknowledged that the transcripts of the interviews had been edited for clarity, raising the question of whether evidence of Biden’s cognitive decline had been altered.

“The only option to ensure compliance with our subpoena is to use our constitutional authority of inherent contempt,” Rep. Luna said. “In the next few days, I will call up my resolution holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in inherent contempt of Congress, and I look forward to each of you voting in favor of it.”

She added: “Our ability to legislate effectively and fulfill our constitutional duties is at stake. We must act now to protect the integrity and independence of the legislative branch.”

Meanwhile, Biden DOJ officials argued on June 14 that the contempt resolution does not preempt Joe Biden‘s assertion of executive privilege regarding the audio recordings. Additionally, at a hearing before the House contempt vote, Attorney General Garland argued: “Releasing the audio would chill cooperation with the department in future investigations and it could influence witnesses’ answers if they thought the audio of their law enforcement interviews would be broadcast to Congress and the public.”

Biden’s Newest Comms Staffer Has History of Communist Views.

Joe Biden‘s new assistant White House communications director has a long history of radical social media posts promoting extreme LGTBQ and progressive politics. Tyler Cherry, who was elevated to the White Communications team after serving as a staffer in the Department of the Interior, has compared the police to pre-Civil War slave patrols in the American South.

He additionally has called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and criticized calls for Democrat outreach to the white working class. In addition to the controversial posts, Cherry’s social media feed also features the communications staffer in risque and provocative clothing while attending what appears to be LGBTQ-aligned festivals and other events.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Cherry routinely criticized the Trump campaign and media outlets for their lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Even Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT)—a far-left Democrat and socialist—was not immune from Cherry’s DEI-focused criticism, with the future Biden communications staffer noting Sanders rallies were “very, very white.”

The Biden staffer also expressed anti-police and pro-communist views in multiple social media posts. He stated in 2015, “Praying for Baltimore, but praying even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases.” In January of that year, Cherry likened local police to slave patrols before the American Civil War and said that Voter I.D. laws are the equivalent of poll taxes.

Cherry responded to the revelations regarding his social media posts Sunday afternoon. “Past social media posts from when I was younger do not reflect my current views. Period,” the Biden White House staffer wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He added: “I support this Administration’s agenda – and will continue my communications work focused on our climate and environmental policies.”

NYT: Europeans Hold the EU in Contempt.

Most European voters “rallied to parties that hold the [European Union] in contempt” in the recent European Parliament elections, admits the The New York Times. However, opinion contributor Christopher Caldwell argues that the EU is not to blame. “Analysts have leaped to the conclusion that the European Union must have done something wrong. It didn’t,” he insists.

Caldwell attributes Marine Le Pen’s populist National Rally’s victory over Emmanuel Macron’s globalist Renaissance party to national grievances around immigration. Similarly, he claims the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) outpolled Germany’s governing coalition parties due to national grievances over energy policy.

However, the EU drives much of national immigration and energy policy. The bloc is punishing Viktor Orban’s Hungary for enforcing strong border controls, and EU climate targets drive the anti-farmer policies fueling populism in countries like the Netherlands.

UNITED STATES OF EUROPE. 

Caldwell does lightly criticize the EU, noting that it exaggerates its role in bringing peace to Europe. He says its real guarantors have been “American occupation, NATO vigilance, and Russian caution.”

Caldwell also highlights the EU’s “love-hate” relationship with the United States, describing it as partly “emulative” and partly “rivalrous.” He admits, “It meant to consolidate the continent’s nations into a military-economic bloc of almost half a billion people, partly so Europeans would no longer need to dance to the tune of the American empire… by usurping the prerogatives of the continent’s existing nation-states.”

Caldwell argues that this usurpation of member nations’ elected governments fuels much of the current hostility towards the bloc and motivated Brexit. He also claims the EU has been unsuccessful on its own terms, with members still reliant on the U.S. for security.

Former president Donald Trump frequently warns that EU members in NATO are not paying their fair share in defense and take advantage of the U.S. economically through unfair tariffs.

WATCH: Judge Nominated to Federal Appeals Court by Biden Confronted for Defending Pedo as ‘A Person Who Has a Lot of Good in Him.’

Joe Biden is seeking to promote a judge who described a pedophile as a man with “a lot of good in him” to the First Circuit Court of Appeals. Sentencing Michael T. Smith, convicted of molesting two girls aged four and nine, Maine Superior Court Justice Julia Lipez said, “People are complicated,” suspending half of his 12-year term.

“I have frankly been offered very little insight as to how or why this happened. What I can say is that this is a very tragic situation of a person who has a lot of good in him having done a very reprehensible thing to two young children,” Lipez said. “My hope is that, with the support of his family, he can lead a productive life going forward,” she added.

Senator John Kennedy confronted her over these remarks at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, where she proved evasive.

“This is what you said… ‘What I can say, you said, is that this is a very tragic situation of a person who has a lot of good in him—a lot of good in him—having done a very reprehensible thing to two young children, causing extreme damage.’ Did I read that correctly?”

Lipez initially avoided the question, saying she imposed the sentence the state requested. With Sen. Kennedy pressing her to confirm that the words were hers, she cast doubt on them. “That’s what was reported in the paper, Senator. I have not seen a transcript of the sentencing,” she said.

DEI. 

The Biden regime describes Lipez’s nomination to the First Circuit as “fulfill[ing] the President’s promise to ensure that the nation’s courts reflect the diversity that is one of our greatest assets as a country.”

She is among Biden’s fiftieth round of nominees, bringing total federal judicial nominees to 244. This greatly exceeds Donald Trump’s 194 Article III court appointments.

MSNBC host Joy Reid recently praised diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) lawyers for driving the lawfare campaign against Trump.

“Donald Trump is being held to account by the very multicultural, multiracial democracy that he’s trying to dismantle. Go DEI. My DEIs are bringing it home,” she gloated.

Sellout Meloni Slams Door on Hungary’s Orban.

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is continuing to sell out her populist platform, turning her back on Hungary’s Viktor Orban following the European Parliament elections.

Orban, a Donald Trump ally whose country is taking over the rotating presidency of the European Union (EU) under the slogan ‘Make Europe Great Again,’ is attempting to join forces with Meloni in the European Parliament. Meloni’s Brothers of Italy (FdI) and Orban’s Fidesz won the European elections in their respective countries, and populists generally earned stronger representation than ever before.

However, Meloni is rejecting Orban’s overtures for his Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to join the populist-leaning European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) euro-group, which she dominates. She is attempting to curry favor with the European People’s Party (EPP) group, in which French and German globalists dominate.

However, Meloni does not appear to be receiving any reward for her behavior. The EPP, Socialists and Democrats (S&D), and Liberals are preparing to carve up the bloc’s top jobs between them, leaving Meloni in the cold.

‘DISCIPLINED.’

Before winning the Italian election in 2022, Meloni and her Brothers of Italy party were considered comparable to Marine Le Pen and National Rally in France, with much of the press denouncing her as the country’s most “far-right” leader since Benito Mussolini.

On becoming Prime Minister, however, she abandoned the anti-mass migration platform she campaigned on, instead focusing on supporting Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and the Western proxy war with Russia. Illegal migrants crossing the Mediterranean increased, and she also approved higher legal immigration, parroting the globalist narrative that “Europe and Italy need immigration.”

Rather than fellow populists like Viktor Orban, Meloni cultivated left-liberals like Joe Biden, recently attempting to save him from embarrassment when he began wandering off on his own at a G7 summit.

German socialist Martin Schulz, former President of the European Parliament, brags the EU “disciplined” into submitting to the status quo.
