Biden-Harris WH Spox Disparages Veterans in Accidental ‘Reply All’ E-mail on 9/11.

White House National Security Council communications adviser John Kirby denigrated a group of veterans in what he intended to be an internal White House email on the 23-year anniversary of 9/11. The Biden-Harris official hit reply-all when sending his comments, including a Fox News reporter who had asked the White House to respond to the veteran group’s criticism of the Biden-Harris government’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

“Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe,” Kirby wrote late Wednesday on a White House communications team email chain. The flippant comment was in response to accusations leveled by Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) and several other veterans that Kirby provided “cover” for the deadly withdrawal during a Monday press conference. Kirby had blasted a new report the House of Representatives issued regarding the Biden-Harris government’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, claiming it “says little or nothing new.”

Viewed by many in the White House and media as the more steady hand in the press briefing room—compared to Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre—Kirby followed up his errant reply-all email, telling the reporter: “Clearly, I didn’t realize you were on the chain.”

Following Kirby’s condescending reply-all gaffe, the Biden-Harris White House communications team attempted to clean up the situation—issuing an on-the-record response from the official. “While I acknowledge not every veteran agrees with them, I stand by my comments in the briefing room. What was cherry-picked and selective was the report itself. And what’s most important is that America’s longest war is over and those still serving in uniform are better positioned to meet the threats we face today,” Kirby’s statement claims.

This NATO ‘Ally’ Just Called China’s Dictator a ‘Defender of Peace.’

During an official state visit to China, a NATO member state leader praised Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping, calling him a “defender of peace” in a statement on social media.

Spanish socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez expressed his admiration for the Chinese communist dictator on Monday, August 9, saying, “China and Spain are two friendly nations, defenders of peace and committed to the multilateral order.”

He added that his country and China were committed to tackling climate change, despite China’s extensive use of coal-fired power plants and the fact it is building more coal plants than the rest of the world.

Sanchez’s comments regarding China being a “defender of peace” come amid accusations that the Chinese are abetting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with Beijing refusing to attend a peace conference in Switerzland in June as Russia was not invited.

The CCP has also been saber-rattling regarding Taiwan. Xi Jinping has explicitly told U.S. President Joe Biden that China and Taiwan would be unified, whether through diplomacy or force.

Earlier this year, Admiral John Aquilino, head of the Indo-Pacific Command, predicted that China could invade Taiwan as early as 2027, claiming the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is actively preparing for an invasion of the island.

“The PLA’s actions indicate their ability to meet Xi’s preferred timeline to unify Taiwan with mainland China by force if directed,” he told the U.S. House Armed Services Committee in March.

China has also demanded that the United States cease ties with the Taiwanese government following elections in January that saw anti-CCP and pro-independence candidates elected to office.

Deplorables 2.0: Pelosi Says 30% of Republicans ‘Homophobic, Sexist, Racist.’

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claims 30 percent of Republicans refuse to support Democratic Party candidates because of their views on women, race, and LGBTQ issues. Speaking with podcast host Kara Swisher at the 2024 Texas Tribune Festival, the California Democrat insisted that these voters will never cast a ballot for Democrats, which is why the 2024 presidential race between former President Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris is so close.

“There are people who will never be, shall we say, inclined to support Democrats because of – they just have a different orientation toward women, people of color, LGBTQ, you know, they just are not ever going to be there,” Pelosi told Swisher before continuing: ” So, say that’s about like 30 percent or something like that… of the Republicans.”

“And then you have very, very rich people who do not really want to pay taxes or have any regulation of clean air, clean water, any of that. So you have to deal with that,” the former Democrat Speaker noted regarding campaign fundraising, adding: “Now, it’s not as many very, very rich people, but it’s a lot of money that goes into a campaign.”

During the discussion, Pelosi seemed to suggest that Democrats should respect but still ignore the concerns of this large bloc of American voters. She told Swisher, “They have fear of globalization. They saw the factory down the road move overseas. They’re fearful of innovation.”

Addressing former President Trump directly, the 84-year-old Democrat who is running for re-election insisted he is a “snake oil salesman.”

Pelosi’s remarks are reminiscent of similar comments made by Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election in which she labeled half of Trump’s political base as a “basket of deplorable” and cited similar perceived prejudices listed by the former Speaker.

Democrat on Homeland Security Committee is Also Chairman of Chinese Intel Op.

New York Democratic Representative Grace Meng is under scrutiny after the Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment of Linda Sun, Meng’s former chief of staff during her tenure in the New York state assembly, on charges of acting as an unregistered foreign agent of China and money laundering.

Sun also worked in the administrations of former New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, who bizarrely labeled COVID-19 a “European virus,” and incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul. Sun allegedly engaged with key figures from groups connected to China’s United Front Work Department, a Chinese intelligence and influence organization. These figures included leaders from the U.S. Federation of Chinese-American Entrepreneurs and the Henan Association of Eastern America (HAEA).

Rep. Meng’s links to HAEA reach back over a decade. Archived records from HAEA’s website show that Meng served as deputy chairman from 2008 to 2012 and is currently listed as honorary chairman.

The DOJ’s indictment suggests that one of Sun’s alleged co-conspirators held a leading role within an organization similar to HAEA. The DOJ describes this entity as closely linked to the United Front Work Department and the Chinese Communist Party.

While working in government, Sun allegedly obtained fraudulent letters inviting Chinese delegations to New York, helping officials to secure U.S. visas unlawfully. These delegations were purportedly from Henan province, which, in turn, facilitated business contracts for Sun’s husband, Chris Hu.

Chinese agents have been operating virtually unabated in the U.S. under the Biden-Harris government, even running de facto “police stations” in New York and San Francisco, where Vice President Harris was formerly District Attorney.

China uses these stations to harass, intimidate, and sometimes attack anti-CCP dissidents.

Le Pen Laughs Last: Macron’s New Prime Minister Depends on Populists to Survive.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron has selected former Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier as his new Prime Minister. However, his survival in the role could depend on the support of Marine Le Pen and the populist National Rally (RN).

Le Pen’s National Rally finished first in the popular vote and is the largest single party in the National Assembly, although a Macronist bloc and far-left bloc each have more seats than the RN combined. Still, the populists have many more seats than the establishment-right Les Republicains (Republicans), of which Barnier is a member.

Shortly after Macron announced Barnier’s selection this week, the New Popular Front (NFP) bloc of far-left parties, which has the largest share of assembly seats, vowed to immediately table votes of confidence against the new Prime Minister.

While Barnier has the support of the Republicans and Macron’s globalist-progressive bloc, they have only 213 seats together, well below the 289 needed for a legislative majority.

Le Pen‘s RN has 142 MPs, giving her and her party newfound power to shape the next government. They have already stated that their support will require stricter stances on immigration and security and the introduction of a proportional representation system in future elections.

If the electoral system were changed to proportional representation, where the popular vote equals the number of seats gained by a party, the RN could have as many as 192 seats, as they won just over 33 percent in the first round of voting.

Since the election, which took place in two rounds in late June and early July, the legislature has been unable to agree on a Prime Minister, as President Macron flatly refuses to endorse any of the leftist candidates.

The new role for Le Pen comes after Macron’s bloc and others excluded members of the RN from key positions in the legislature.

Secret Service Offers LGBT Disney Trip as Part of DEI Scheme.

The diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) office of the United States Secret Service (USSS) has called for nominees to attend an all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World next month amid concerns the agency is already stretched thin during election season.

The event, entitled the “Out and Equal” Workplace Summit, is scheduled to take place at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, from October 7 to 10. It includes a “gala event” on the final evening and a night out at Disney Studios.

However, according to journalist Susan Crabtree, who made the DEI office’s request for USSS members to attend the event known on X on Wednesday, September 4, many within the USSS are unhappy with the idea as they are already low on manpower.

One source allegedly questioned if sending members of the USSS to the Orlando LGBT event was an appropriate use of manpower.

A lack of available agents was cited as a factor that led to the shooting of former President Donald J. Trump and the killing of firefighter Corey Comperatore in July during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, as USSS agents were supplemented with Homeland Security (DHS) agents who were far less experienced.

Additionally, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) stated that a whistleblower had indicated that the USSS itself had told agents not to request additional manpower for the Butler rally and that any requests that were made would be denied.

The email requesting agents attend the LGBT event also comes as the Pentagon is giving members of the U.S. Military the green light to support the USSS during election campaigns.

FLASHBACK: Kassam Explains How Foreign Cash Influences U.S. Media and Politics.

While much is being made of the Biden Department of Justice’s (DOJ) indictment of two Russian nationals for allegedly enlisting a U.S. company and social media influencers to push pro-Russia propaganda on YouTube, corporate media has remained silent on far more complex and concerning foreign influence operations. The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, revealed five years ago in a video for Prager University that one of the most far-reaching foreign influence schemes has operated openly as a social media endeavor in the U.S. and continues to do so.

Owned by the Al Jazeera news network, AJ+ is funded by the Persian Gulf state of Qatar. Despite its deep foreign connections, the organization has received minimal scrutiny from the DOJ. However, multiple Members of Congress— including former Representative Lee Zeldin (R-NY)—have raised the issue over the years.

TERRORIST TIES.

“AJ+ is bankrolled by the government of Qatar,” Kassam explains, continuing: “[Qatar] is a tiny Persian Gulf state with lots of oil money, billions of dollars they’re not afraid to spend causes they believe in. Causes like the terror group Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip.”

Kassam goes on to note that aside from Hamas, Qatar also funds the Muslim Brotherhood, al Qaeda, and Hezbollah. The Persian Gulf state promotes the interests of its terror clients through its funding of the Arab news network Al Jazeera. The network rolled out AJ+ following its failed 2013 attempt to launch a U.S. news network after purchasing a media company from former Vice President Al Gore.

FOREIGN INFLUENCE.

Under the AJ+ banner, Al Jazeera and Qatar target American youth, pushing far-left messaging in an effort to sow division and influence U.S. politics and elections. “The young and hip presenters at AJ+ depict America as racist through-and-through, past-and-present,” Kassas states, adding: “Black Lives Matter has no greater media ally than AJ+. Nor do avowed socialists, like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.”

While Qatar has primarily operated its foreign influence scheme through AJ+, the Persian Gulf state has also used other intermediaries, including former MSNBC host Mehdi Hassan, who now works for Al Jazeera. Additionally, Qatar has reportedly made a large investment in Newsmax through a member of its royal family.

The National Pulse reported in April this year that Joe Biden‘s brother, Jim Biden, also has concerning ties to Qatar—partnering with business interests controlled by the Persian Gulf state.

Here’s Who Macron Has Picked as France’s New Prime Minister (It’s Not Good!)

French President Emmanuel Macron has finally decided on a Prime ministerial candidate after the country was without a new government for nearly two months following July’s legislative elections.

Macron has called on Michel Barnier, the former European Union official tasked with negotiating a deal with the UK following the 2016 Brexit referendum, which is well-known as opposed to the UK leaving the European Union.

Barnier, a member of the center-right Les Republicains, is now tasked with forming a government as no single party or bloc of parties has a clear majority in the French parliament.

Marine Le Pen of the populist National Rally (RN) stated that her party’s support for Barnier would depend on his policies. Le Pen also referred to Barnier as the “French Joe Biden” due to his age, 73, which makes him one of the oldest French Prime Ministers in recent history.

Socialist Party leader Olivier Faure, meanwhile, expressed anger that Macron chose a Prime Minister from a party that came forth in the election rather than a member of the left-wing New Popular Front (NFP), which came first overall.

Faure went even further, calling the move a denial of democracy, a term used by Marine Le Pen when Macron’s allies and others prevented her party, which received the most significant vote of any single party in the election, from any critical parliamentary positions.

Alongside his role in the Brexit negotiations, Barnier is known in France for taking a more rigid stance against illegal immigration and mass migration in recent years. He once called for a three—to five-year ban on immigrants entering France from outside the European Union.

Should Banrier be unable to form a working majority, France could face another snap election, a scenario predicted by The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam.

Biden-Harris Regime Pours Nearly $400 Million Taxpayer Dollars Into Migrant Aid NGOs Instead of Securing Border.

The Biden-Harris regime is spending another $380 million to support nonprofits and local governments in managing the needs of migrants released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the southern border. Overall, the federal government has spent nearly $640 million on migrant assistance so far this year.

The funding, channeled through DHS’s Shelter and Services Program (SSP), aims to provide essential services such as food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and transportation for migrants awaiting immigration court proceedings. Biden–Harris-backed NGOs are accused of helping corporations with cheap migrant labor in the past through the Tent Partnership for Refugees, a federal loophole allowing illegals to work if they claim refugee status.

An investigation by journalist James O’Keefe earlier this year exposed another Biden–Harris government-backed NGO, run by former UK Foreign Minister David Miliband, for shipping illegals into America.

The new announcement follows a previous allocation of $259.13 million in grants just four months prior, totaling nearly $640 million for the year. In fiscal year 2023, federal officials reported over 2.4 million migrant encounters, with projections indicating this figure could be surpassed by the end of fiscal year 2024.

ILLEGALS BUSTING BUDGETS.

The $380 million will be distributed among 50 nonprofits, municipalities, and governmental entities, with New York City as the largest beneficiary, receiving nearly $22.17 million. Despite this federal assistance, state and local governments have struggled with the ballooning costs generated by illegals.

Massachusetts Republicans claim the state has spent at least $1 billion on the migrant crisis. New York’s comptroller estimates a cost of $4.3 billion for state taxpayers through 2025, while New York City faces a $3 billion burden in fiscal year 2024.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates the net cost of illegal immigration to the U.S. at various government levels to be at least $150.7 billion, subtracting the tax revenue contributed by illegal immigrants from the gross economic impact.

WEIRD: Kamala Donors Are Turning Jamie Raskin’s Memoir Into a ‘Spiritual’ Musical.

Democrat backers of Kamala Harris‘s 2024 presidential bid are adapting Representative Jamie Raskin‘s (D-MD) memoir into an oratorio—a type of classical music composition similar to an opera and focused on a sacred subject. Raskin has achieved an almost saint-like status among Democrat activists for his constant attacks on former President Donald J. Trump. Earlier this year, the Maryland Democrat introduced legislation to disqualify Trump from November’s presidential ballot.

Written by poet Anne Becker and composer Noam Faingold, “The Jamie Raskin Oratorio” is adapted from the Democrat lawmaker’s memoir. Consequently, the book details his recollections of the January 6 Capitol riots, his spearheading of the second impeachment attempt against former President Trump, and his son’s suicide. Faingold describes Raskin’s memoir as having a “spiritual aspect,” justifying the oratorio style.

The musical composition will be performed on Saturday in Takoma Park, Maryland, located in Raskin’s congressional district. A local non-profit music group, the Washington Musica Viva, will perform the oratorio.

“He’s certainly a neighborhood hero, but I think a national hero as well,” said Washington Musica Viva’s co-founder Carl Banner, praising Raskin’s efforts to subvert Trump. Banner, who is a donor to the Harris campaign, added: “We’re thrilled to be doing something in his honor.”

Opposition to Trump and any institution seen as being partial to the former Republican President has become a pseudo-religion among some Democratic Party activists. Additionally, many of the activists closely follow anti-Trump groups like the Lincoln Project and the far-left MeidasTouch Network and promote even the most absurd attacks against the 2024 Republican presidential nominee. However, Raskin’s public attacks on Trump and the United States Supreme Court have earned the lawmaker a priestly status among the most fervent Democrats.
