New York is Now Trying to Hide Illegals from Trump.

New York City officials have decided to close a large tent complex in Brooklyn. The site, located on Floyd Bennett Field, is built on federal land and currently accommodates around 2,000 migrants.

Mayor Eric Adams‘s administration is taking this action due to concerns over potential policy changes by incoming President Donald J. Trump and his immigration czar, Tom Homan. Officials worry that Trump’s White House might terminate the shelter’s lease upon his assuming office in January, or could claim the right to conduct immigration enforcement on federal land.

The closure of Floyd Bennett Field is part of a broader plan to shut down 25 migrant shelters across the city by March. Facilities set to close include several hotels throughout New York City, college dormitories in Upper Manhattan, a converted warehouse at Kennedy Airport, and numerous upstate hotels used for housing migrants.

An anticipated drop in illegal immigrant numbers follows the city’s expenditure exceeding $6 billion over two years for housing purposes. Mayor Adams has steered clear of directly citing President-elect Trump as a reason for the Floyd Bennett Field closure despite the location being the only city shelter on federal land.

City representatives have indicated that while the lease will conclude by March, families will vacate the shelter by January 15, shortly before President-elect Trump assumes office. In a statement, Mayor Adams mentioned, “We’re going to continue looking for more sites to consolidate and close, and more opportunities to save taxpayer money, as we continue to successfully manage this response.”

Nancy Pelosi is Now Worth HOW MUCH?!

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has seen her net worth hit a new record high, reaching upwards of $272 million—an exponential increase from her reported wealth just a decade ago. The 84-year-old Democrat and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have been prolific stock traders throughout 2024, with a reported trade volume of $137.48 million on just 171 trades.

Many of Nancy and Paul Pelosi‘s stock trades occur just before major government announcements that move the market. In 2021, Paul Pelosi bought around $5 million shares in Elon Musk‘s electric vehicle and battery company, Tesla, just days before President Joe Biden announced a mandate that all government vehicles be electric. In addition, in the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi pushed for more significant subsidization of the electric vehicle industry.

Also in 2021, the Pelosis exercised $2 million in stock options held with Microsoft just weeks before the Biden government announced a $22 million military contract for the technology giant. One of Paul and Nancy Pelosi’s most controversial trades came with the 2022 purchase of around $5 million in options with the chip manufacturer Nvidia. The purchase was made in the lead-up to the House voting through a $52 billion subsidy for chip makers in the CHIPS and Science Act.

All in all, Rep. Pelosi’s net wealth is shocking—even considering her husband’s real-estate business ventures. Members of Congress earn just $174,000, suggesting Nancy Pelosi likely lacks the capital to execute a $137.48 million trade volume herself. However, as detailed in her husband’s stock trades, Pelosi likely benefits from sharing upcoming legislative action with her husband, who has the capital to execute the number and volume of trades reported.

LA Deputy District Attorney Suggests ‘Tyrant’ Trump Should Be Killed.

Patrick Frey, Deputy District Attorney at Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, has suggested the American people will have to rise up and kill President-elect Donald J. Trump if he becomes a dictator. “If Donald Trump is going to become a tyrant, the American people will have to examine the option of dealing with him the way a citizenry deals with a tyrant.” Thomas Jefferson famously wrote that the “tree of liberty must be refreshed” with “the blood of patriots and tyrants” periodically.

Frey, who goes by ‘Patterico’ online, made the comments on Bluesky, a bolthole for former X (formerly Twitter) users fleeing the platform since Elon Musk purchased it and endorsed Trump’s third bid for the presidency. Several hard-leftists have gotten themselves into difficulty by indulging in unhinged rants within their echo chamber. For instance, Scientific American editor Laura Helmuth had to resign over a series of posts lambasting Trump voters as “f***ing fascists” and calling Vice President-elect J.D. Vance a “bigoted, misogynistic, white supremacist.”

On X, Frey celebrated the overthrow of Syria’s former President Bashar al-Assad by al-Qaeda, suggesting he is “lucky to be living in exile.”

John Bolton is Going ABSOLUTELY NUTS Over Tulsi Gabbard.

Neocon John Bolton, the former security adviser to President Donald J. Trump, is furious about President-elect Donald J. Trump’s Director of National Intelligence pick, Tulsi Gabbard, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Bolton alleged on Sunday that Gabbard has “an inclination to believe the most outrageous propaganda against the United States by some of its strongest enemies,” claiming there are “serious questions about her judgment.”

Trump transition spokesman Alexa Henning dismissed Bolton as “irrelevant,” saying, “him saying he would write in Dick Cheney for president this year should tell you everything you need to know about his disastrous and failed foreign policy instincts of never-ending wars and more American deaths.”

Bolton has cheerleaded for every major U.S. war for decades, steadfastly supporting the disastrous Iraq War in 2003. He has actively opposed President Trump since Trump fired him from his role as National Security Adviser in 2019.

Despite being an avid war enthusiast, Bolton avoided serving in the Vietnam War—which he supported—in his youth, stating he “had no desire to die in a southeast Asian rice paddy.”

By contrast, Tulsi Gabbard served in the Iraq War and is still a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. She has been a vocal critic of foreign conflicts, including the escalation against Russia in Ukraine.

The former Democrat congresswoman met with Assad in 2017 after it had become evident that many of the rebels opposing him were jihadists. Notably, she expressed skepticism over claims that the Syrian leader had used chemical weapons during the country’s civil war. Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) whistleblowers have also cast doubt over the evidence for these alleged chemical attacks.

Gabbard describes neoconservative critics such as John Bolton and Dick Cheney as “warmongers.”

POLL: Biden Is Worst President in Modern History.

According to a new poll, President Joe Biden is set to leave the White House as the worst-rated U.S. president in modern history. Americans registered to vote were asked to rank the last nine presidents of the United States, with President Biden coming dead last, behind Republican Richard Nixon and Democrat Jimmy Carter.

A total of 44 percent of respondents had a negative view of Biden, placing him in the bottom two rankings, with just 14 percent putting him in the top two rankings. President-elect Donald J. Trump, in contrast, had 30 percent of respondents placing him in the top two rankings, ahead of President Bill Clinton.

J.L. Partners conducted the poll, and its cofounder, James Johnson, described the results as “worse than I expected.”

“Voters have obviously looked at his age, general conduct in office, his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the situation at the southern border, and decided that, in their view, it qualifies him to be the worst president in modern history,” he said.

Biden’s popularity has dipped since he dropped out of the presidential race earlier this year following a disastrous debate with President Trump.

His recent announcement to give a sweeping, decade-spanning pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, has also been unpopular with many. Biden had previously promised that he would not pardon Hunter, and Biden’s allies had used this as an example of the president’s supposed integrity.

U.S. District Court Judge Mark Scarsi, who is involved in one of Hunter’s cases, criticized the pardon, claiming it was partially unconstitutional and an attempt to “rewrite history.”

WATCH: Trans Activists Hold Dance Party in Capitol Hill Women’s Bathroom.

A group of transgender and LGBTQ activists are protesting House Speaker Mike Johnson’s decision that men only use men’s bathrooms and women use women’s in House Capitol and office buildings. Earlier this week, trans activists held an impromptu dance party in a women’s bathroom at the Capitol, contravening Johnson’s ruling.

In a video posted to social media, numerous individuals can be seen dancing and parading around the women’s bathroom—with some clearly being men and others transgender, plus a handful of possibly genuinely female “allies.”

In November, Speaker Johnson announced he would implement a new rule that those using bathrooms in House-controlled premises can only enter facilities corresponding to their biological sex. The move was prompted by legislation introduced by Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), which initially sought to ban men from using women’s bathrooms and vice versa on Capitol Hill. This was later substituted for a bill implementing such a ban on all federal property.

The legislation, introduced by Mace, has drawn violent threats from members of the transgender community. The National Pulse previously reported that transgender activist ‘Venus Andromeda’ posted a series of crazed vidoes against Mace, fantasizing about attacking the lawmaker in a women’s bathroom and beating her to death.

European ‘Democracy’ CANCELS Presidential Election Because Pro-Trump Populist was Winning.

The Constitutional Court in the European Union (EU) and NATO member state Romania has canceled its presidential elections just days before a scheduled vote, claiming a Russian interference campaign is the reason a pro-Trump candidate populist was the favorite to win the race.

Romanian judges annulled the second round of the presidential elections as polls suggested populist, NATO-critical candidate Călin Georgescu, who won a surprise victory in the election’s first round, was likely to win Sunday’s vote. According to the court, Georgescu benefits from an influence campaign on social media platforms like TikTok, similar to some run by the Russian government.

The move comes after Romanian intelligence information was declassified by the government, claiming that Russia was trying to manipulate the outcome of the election. Georgescu, who is pro-Trump, pro-life, and opposed to escalating the Western proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, was set to face pro-EU globalist Elena Lasconi on Sunday.

Over the past year, European governments have consistently attempted to blame Russian interference campaigns for the rise of populists across Europe, shutting down alternative media in the Czech Republic ahead of the European Parliament elections, for example.

Russian interference has been blamed for the rise of populism in the United States and the United Kindom for years. However, the infamous Russia hoax accusations against President Donald J. Trump and the allegations of extensive Russian interference in the Brexit referendum in 2016 all proved to be false.

Winning: Anti-Paxton Texas Speaker Abandons Bid for Third Term Amid MAGA Backlash.

Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan announced Friday that he is stepping aside in his bid for another term as leader. The move follows months of escalating criticism from MAGA conservatives within his party, who have sought to remove him from power and reshape the House’s leadership.

Phelan, who claimed he had the votes to fend off a challenge from former ally Rep. David Cook, withdrew just a day before the GOP caucus was set to choose its speaker nominee regardless. Infamously, Phelan assisted the failed plot to impeach and remove the Lone Star State’s America First Attorney General, Ken Paxton.

Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Phelan ally, is filing paperwork to run in his place. However, Burrows faces resistance from MAGA conservatives determined to elect a speaker without relying on Democratic votes—a hallmark of Phelan’s tenure.

“For the integrity of this chamber, I have decided to step aside,” Phelan said in a statement. Despite his claims of conservative accomplishments, critics accuse him of blocking key priorities and empowering Democrats through committee appointments and legislative delays.

Phelan’s position weakened after Attorney General Ken Paxton’s acquittal in the Senate, which many viewed as a rebuke of Phelan’s support for the impeachment. Further damage came from his perceived lack of support for school vouchers, a priority of Governor Greg Abbott, who backed efforts to unseat Phelan-aligned Republicans during primaries.

The state party’s MAGA wing has pushed for reforms such as barring Democrats from chairing committees and prioritizing Republican bills. These insurgents view Phelan’s departure as a chance to advance a stronger conservative agenda, aligning the House more closely with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s Senate.

GOP Senator Faces Primary Challenge After Trump Conviction Vote.

A Republican Senator who voted to convict President-elect Donald J. Trump after the sham January 6 impeachment trial is now facing a serious primary challenge. Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy will face a primary challenge from state Treasurer John Fleming in the 2026 election.

Fleming, who held various roles during the first Trump administration and previously served in the House of Representatives, announced his candidacy on Wednesday. The Louisiana Treasurer criticized Cassidy for lacking support for Trump and “America First” principles.

“Senator Cassidy has failed the people of Louisiana,” Fleming stated in his announcement. Cassidy, now the incoming chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, has not yet formalized his reelection plans. However, in a recent interview, he expressed his commitment to preparing for the 2026 race.

According to data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Cassidy has accumulated over $5.8 million. Despite the modest war chest, the Louisiana Senator is viewed by many as being especially vulnerable to a primary from a strong MAGA candidate.

Trump, who has previously questioned Cassidy’s loyalty, criticized the senator on Truth Social earlier this year. “One of the worst Senators in the United States Senate is, without question, Bill Cassidy, A TOTAL FLAKE, Republican though he may be,” Trump wrote, recalling: “When the Democrats’ Impeachment Hoax started, this Lamebrain Senator actually voted against me.”

Senator Cassidy also serves on the Senate Finance Committee, which is set to scrutinize Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom President-Elect Trump has nominated to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Along with several others, Senator Cassidy has received large amounts of campaign cash from Big Pharma, which RFK Jr. has challenged.

Senate Report: Only 6 Percent of Federal Workers Are Full-Time In-Office.

A report from Senator Joni Ernst‘s (R-IA) office reveals that only six percent of federal employees work in person full-time, with nearly one-third working entirely remotely. This marks a significant change from pre-pandemic conditions, when a mere three percent teleworked daily.

“The nation’s capital is a ghost town, with government buildings averaging an occupancy rate of 12 percent,” the Iowa Republican wrote in the report, noting: “If federal employees can’t be found at their desks, exactly where are they?”

“When I was making the biscuits at Hardee’s, I clocked in every morning. At the end of my shift, I clocked out. If I didn’t show up, the biscuits wouldn’t be made, and I wouldn’t be paid. Plain and simple. There is no such accountability today for the federal workforce,” Ernst says. Iowa Senator said that “[o]ver half of federal employees are telework-eligible, and nearly 90 percent of those are teleworking. But no one is checking to make sure everyone made it to work or even logged on to their computer. Backlogs for services are typical and accountability is rare.”

A JOB FOR DOGE?

Concerned about the increase in remote work among federal employees and lack of productivity, Ernst says she plans to discuss the matter with Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leaders Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy during their Capitol visit on Thursday. Ernst also criticized President Joe Biden’s days spent away from the White House, suggesting his actions set a precedent. President Biden’s travel and time away from the White House tallies at 532 days over the last three and a half years.

Collaboration with Open the Books helped Ernst’s office uncover the redaction of over 281,000 federal employees’ work locations by the Biden-Harris government. This report indicates annual costs of $15.7 billion for leasing and maintaining federal buildings, with an additional $15 million for vacant and partially empty properties.

A D.C. GHOST TOWN. 

According to the investigation, no federal agency occupies more than half of its office space. Ernst expressed taxpayers’ concerns over inefficiencies in government services, citing examples like a whistleblower’s warning of bacteria in baby formula left unread by the FDA.

Ernst reported anomalies in locality pay, with some federal teleworkers receiving inappropriate pay increases. Approximately 25 percent of daily teleworkers reside over 50 miles from their workplace. Despite Biden’s call to increase in-person attendance, union agreements have maintained broad teleworking privileges.
