‘Death to America’ Chants in Chicago As Local Muslims, Leftists Laud Iran’s ‘Resistance.’

Hundreds of Islamists and far-left activists converged on the Teamsters Union headquarters in Chicago to learn anti-America and anti-Israel chants on Saturday. News of Iran’s mass drone and missile attack on Israel broke during the meeting, prompting cheers of support, followed by demands Israel and the U.S. refrain from retaliating.

News of the attack earned applause from the crowd of around 300 Islamists and leftist ideologues, most of whom sported N95 masks. “Iran is part of the arc of resistance because the enemies are Israel and the USA,” declared one attendee. She listed Hezbollah, Yemen, and the Syrian government as allies in that resistance, according to reporting by The Free Press.

Despite cheering the Iranian strikes, the meeting switched back to anti-war mode when Palestinian Community Network leader Hatem Abudayyeh warned they would “have to assume that the United States is going to try to retaliate against Iran,” prompting cries of “shame!”

Abudayyeh, whose house was raided by the FBI in 2010 amid an investigation into “material support of terrorism,” told the crowd it was “incumbent” on Americans to “stop the United States from expanding this war and hitting Iran.”

“We’ve got to be the strong, powerful anti-war movement that we are,” Abudayyeh said, prompting chants of “Hands off Iran!”

‘DEATH TO AMERICA!’ 

The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, represented at the meeting by an activist who called the October 7 attack on Israel a “good turn of events,” subsequently put out a statement headlined with the “Hands off Iran!” slogan, saying the U.S. and Israel “bear the entire responsibility for what is happening.”

Before the Iranian attack, Anti-War Committee Chicago organizer Shabbir Rizvi had taught around 80 enthusiastic attendees how to chant “Marg bar Israel” and “Marg bar America,” Persian for “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.”

His audience included at least one man wearing a Soviet flag.

REVEALED: MeidasTouch Contributor Is Ex-GOP Rep. and Jan 6 Committee Collaborator with Taste for ‘Bigfoot Erotica.’

MeidasTouch, the far-left news organization responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax, boasts former Republican legislator Denver Riggleman as a contributor. Riggleman previously won plaudits from the left for collaborating with the Democrat-dominated January 6 Committee, which employed him as a senior staffer.

Riggleman began his transformation into an anti-America First crusader after local party officials censured him for failing to oppose “out-of-control spending” or mass migration in Congress. He was also criticized for failing to support “traditional family values, and other conservative principles,” and in particular for officiating a homosexual wedding for two of his staffers. This helped precipitate a successful primary challenge by now-Rep. Bob Good in 2020.

Described as an “intel expert” on his MeidasTouch profile, Riggleman was best known as a comic figure prior to the aforementioned controversies, with his 2018 election campaign marred by revelations concerning his penchant for “Bigfoot erotica.”

Democrat opponent Leslie Cockburn unearthed social media posts by Riggleman featuring Bigfoot or Riggleman himself as Bigfoot with oversized genitals for a fictitious book about the cryptid’s “mating habits.”

Riggleman self-published at least two tomes on Bigfoot titled Bigfoot Exterminators, Inc. and Bigfoot… It’s Complicated. Cockburn claims she has read a third Riggleman book on Bigfoot titled Bigfoot Assassins, featuring a “key plot point about witches and menstrual blood.”

Bigfoot… It’s Complicated, published after Riggleman’s election, is “absolutely jam-packed with Bigfoot sex,” according to reviewers, with its very first chapter being titled, ‘A Discussion on Simian Genitalia.’

Riggleman claims in the book that he does not personally “dabble in monster porn,” though he plaintively asks: “How could someone kink-shame those gentle souls who take delight in the soulful, passionate moan of Sasquatch?”

MeidasTouch involves many unpleasant characters, including ‘Coach D,’ who believes America’s Founders were all white supremacist racist pedophiles.

Did You Know That YOU Are Subsidizing Democrat Electioneering?

Democrats are using a national network of non-profit, tax-exempt organizations to spearhead efforts to boost voter turnout among critical partisan demographics for the 2024 presidential election. Some non-profit groups even operate on federal grants, further entangling taxpayer dollars in partisan election operations. This effort is in tandem with the Biden government’s mandate that federal agencies enact plans to maximize voter registration and citizen participation in the election process.

In 2021, Biden signed Executive Order 14019 — which directs the various agencies and departments in his government to “consider ways to expand citizens’ opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process.” The National Pulse previously reported on these efforts, including the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)’s concerning relationship with Demos — a left-wing non-profit dedicated to ‘racial justice.’

Under the guise of a ‘public service,’ President Joe Biden’s order effectively incorporates the federal government in aiding Democrat turnout efforts. While the order claims agencies are to only work with ” approved, non-partisan third-party organizations,” that has not happened in practice. According to Demos, they expect to be able to add 3 million new voters to the 2024 election rolls — paid for by U.S. taxpayer dollars.

In addition to the direct collusion with partisan non-profits, the Biden government has also expanded work categories as part of student work-study programs to include students who are paid to help register voters in a non-partisan manner. Protect the Public’s Trust initiated legal action against the Biden government in mid-March after the Department of Education failed to comply with a FOIA request asking for documents pertaining to the work-study decision.

Antifa Trans Dude Indicted on Terror Charges for Bomb Plot Against Republicans.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has indicted Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, a 26-year-old Alabama resident who identifies as transgender/nonbinary, on federal terrorism charges related to his alleged detonation of an explosive device filled with nails outside the Alabama Attorney General’s Office. Authorities apprehended Calvert — known to have posted Antifa-related content and expressed views endorsing violence against the Republican-led state government — last Wednesday.

The DOJ‘s investigation revealed Calvert had placed Antifa stickers near the crime scene, according to their press release. Court papers describe Calvert as a “dangerous” public threat due to “his inability to control his own violent, aggressive impulses.”

The National Pulse reported that Calvert had donated his improvised explosive device outside the Alabama Attorney General’s office in February. According to court filings by the DOJ, the suspect “added a substantial number of nails and other shrapnel to increase [the explosive’s] destructive capability.” In addition, the filing states that Calvert placed stickers promoting Antifa on state buildings. Court documents reveal that some of the stickers bore phrases like “ANTI-FASCISM IS COMMUNITY SELF-DEFENSE,” “ABOLISH PRIVATE PROPERTY,” and “EAT THE RICH.” Other stickers read “DEATH TO FASCISM,” “ARM THE HOMELESS,” “F–K WORK LET’S RIOT!” and “NEVER WORK.”

“[Antifa is] a group that law enforcement has a singular focus on, particularly based on their core set of values and beliefs, individuals that are willing to engage in violent behavior, completely contrary to the structure of our Constitution,” Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall told Fox News regarding the incident and subsequent indictment. He added: “It is a group that should be on the radar screen of law enforcement agencies across our state and as well as our nation, and are extremely disturbing and concerning to those of us who serve in public office.”

Senator Compares Parents At School Board Meetings to Jan. 6 Rioters.

Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) likened vocal parents who have expressed their anger with left-wing policies at local school board meetings to the protestors who rioted at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Kaine — who served as Hillary Clinton‘s running mate during the 2016 presidential election — made the remarks during a community event in Dumfries, Virginia, last Friday.

“I realized when I was barricaded in the Capitol on January 6 when it was under attack that the tension right now in this country, and in this world, is between those who will stand up for others and those who want to tear us down or tear us apart,” Kaine told the few supporters in attendance. He continued: “You see it at school board meetings when people come and raise hell at these school board members who are just trying to do the very best they can. There is a loud energy around tear-us-down and tear-us-apart.”

Hillary Clinton’s former running mate went on to accuse former President Donald Trump of being “the greatest tear down artist in the history of American politics.”

The comments come three years after the parental rights issue catapulted Republican Glenn Youngkin into the Virginia governor’s mansion. Youngkin rode a wave of voter anger over Virginia schools embracing transgender and DEI ideologies to victory over former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe in 2021. Analysis of election data shows that educational policy was, for many voters, a determining factor in Youngkin’s election win.

School boards in Virginia continue to face criticism over their management of transgender policies and the teaching of critical race theory. This controversy spilled over in Loudoun County last year, resulting in an entirely new school board being elected in November 2022.

GOP Rep Says ‘Wall Street Journal Captured By Left.’

During a Congressional hearing on Thursday with former CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge, Congressman Dan Bishop (R-NC) raised concerns about left-wing political bias within American corporate media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal. “My observation — and I’m a Republican, so it’s partisan I guess in part — but I think you look at the stats, I would suggest the American people see it this way, CBS News is among the corporate behemoth media outlets, all of which seem to be captured by one side of the American political spectrum,” the North Carolina Republican said.

Bishop added, “You’ve worked for one of those. Maybe Fox News one on the other side, but CBS, NBC, Wall Street Journal…” At this point, the Congressman paused, appearing to consider his statement before continuing, “Well, largely, yes. Washington Post, New York Times, all of the big media seems to be captured by one side,” he concluded.

Responding, Herridge stressed the need for ideological diversity in America’s newsrooms. “I worked at ABC News, I worked at Fox News, and I worked at CBS News, and I brought the same approach at every place that I worked, which is that it’s about accountability journalism on the left and on the right and representing diverse points of view,” the former CBS reporter said.

While viewed ostensibly as a conservative-leaning publication, The Wall Street Journal has come under fire for being overly hostile to former President Donald Trump — including its uncritical coverage of the debunked Steele Dossier. The Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper has also been criticized for publishing Chinese Communist Party propaganda.

The EU Will Include Abortion In Its ‘Charter of Fundamental Rights.’

The European Parliament voted to enshrine abortion as a right in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union on Thursday. The resolution, stipulating universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights, including abortion, passed 336 to 163 with 39 abstentions.

The resolution proposes adding the following language to the Charter: “Everyone has the right to bodily autonomy, to free, informed, full and universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights, and to all related healthcare services without discrimination, including the access to safe and legal abortion.”

The Socialists and Democrats, Renew Europe, Greens, and The Left groups headed the resolution. MEP Soraya Rodríguez Ramos (Renew), described a perceived global retreat on women’s sexual and reproductive rights, positioning the EU to reverse the trend.

However, it is unlikely that the resolution will be accepted by the European Union. Such amendments to the EU Charter require unanimous endorsement from all 27 member nations, a steep hill to climb considering the divergent abortion regulations across the member states that often reflect deeply held cultural beliefs. In countries like Hungary, Malta, and Poland, abortions are heavily regulated, while others, like France, have protected the right constitutionally.

Opponents of the resolution call attention to the national autonomy of member states and the dangers of EU overreach. Critics caution that the resolution’s dismissal of the ‘conscience clause,’ allowing doctors to personally object to providing abortions, could impinge on individual rights.

The debate over abortion in the EU mirrors that in the United States, where it centers on the extent to which abortion should be regulated at the federal level or left up to individual states.

Joe Biden Forgot What Century It Is.

Joe Biden appeared to forget that it is the 21st century during a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

Following an inquiry from a journalist about the Arizona Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a 19th-century law that bans abortion from the moment of conception, Biden responded by saying: “Elect me. I’m in the 20, 20th century.”

Biden’s repeated gaffes and memory lapses have led many to believe the octogenarian president is suffering from significant cognitive decline. A recent poll revealed that only 38 percent of probable voters for the 2024 presidential election believe he will see through another term.

Biden recently appeared to indicate that he wanted people to remember his presidential legacy as having something to do with ending the Vietnam War. He also seemed to forget his own name during an address in Washington, D.C on Tuesday. In a report released earlier this year explaining his decision not to pursue charges against Biden for his mishandling classified information, special counsel Robert Hur described the 81-year-old as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,”

‘You Are Judged’ – Biden State Dept Promotions Contingent on DEI.

The U.S. Department of State has implemented a finalized policy making promotions contingent on employees‘ ability to document their active engagement in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices. Federal agencies, like the State Department, were required to update employment and promotion standards following President Joe Biden’s Executive Order 13985, which “established that affirmatively advancing equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity is the responsibility of the whole of our Government.”

“We made the change that if you wanted to be considered for promotion at the Department of State, you must be able to document what you are doing to support diversity, equity and inclusion, and accessibility. This is how you are judged for promotion,” Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley explained during a speech at the City Club Forum in April last year. Abercrombie-Winstanley, the former ambassador to Malta, was serving as the State Department‘s chief diversity and inclusion officer when the executive order was issued and was tasked with laying the groundwork for the new employment policy.

She added: “So that means my allies who are not female or minority are also interested in being able to show ‘I’m doing good work on this.'”

When the Department of State first announced the finalized DEI rule for public review, they stated: “Establishing the advancement of [DEI] as an element for all employees as part of their job performance criteria, career advancement opportunities, and senior performance pay.” The policy change is, however, just one component of a broader shift to align employment procedures with the State Department’s “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Strategic Plan 2022 – 2026.”

In Case You’re Ever Tempted to Take John Bolton Seriously Again, Here’s Who He Voted for In 2020…

John Bolton, former National Security Adviser to Donald Trump, declared on Wednesday that he placed a write-in vote for Dick Cheney, George W. Bush’s warmongering vice president, in the 2020 election. Bolton plans to vote for Cheney again this year.

Cheney, Bolton told CNN, is a “principled Reaganite conservative.”

“Age is no longer a factor in American presidential politics, so his age doesn’t disqualify him,” Bolton said of the 83-year-old Never Trumper, best known as one of the chief architects of the Iraq War.

“I think he’d do an immensely better job than either Trump or Biden,” Bolton added.

On Liz Cheney, the daughter of the former vice president who collaborated with the Democrats on the January 6 Committee, Bolton said he likes her “a lot,” and “maybe someday she’ll get my write-in vote too.”

Like Cheney, Bolton is an inveterate war hawk, lobbying for the invasion of Iraq, an invasion of Iran, strikes on North Korea, and ongoing involvement in Afghanistan, among other military interventions.

As a young man, the 75-year-old supported the Vietnam War — although he avoided serving in it himself, admitting he “had no desire to die in a southeast Asian rice paddy.”
