The United States has officially handed over its last military base in Niger, marking the end of its military presence in the African nation. The U.S. Department of Defense and Niger’s Department of National Defense announced on Monday that the withdrawal of American troops and assets from Air Base 201 in Agadez is complete.
Air Base 201, situated near Agadez, underwent significant improvements by the United States, but will no longer be able to enjoy the fruits of these costly investments. U.S. troops had been present in Niger for years, providing military training and supporting missions against Islamic State and al-Qaeda in the region.
Following a military coup in July of 2023, a pro-Russian military junta took over Niger, ousting the Western-backed president. The National Pulse reported that neighboring nations and the Biden-Harris government in the U.S. initially threatened to intervene and restore the country’s former leader. However, by April of this year, Russian forces had begun to move in, with Biden conceding to the junta and announcing a withdrawal of U.S. troops.
GEOPOLITICS.
In recent years, Russia has similarly supplanted the U.S. and its allies in Mali, Burkina Faso, and other states in the region.
The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam noted last year that while reductions to U.S. foreign entanglements are positive—with many Americans opposing foreign interventionism—the Niger situation is more akin to a military defeat.
“In fact, while troops coming home is something to be celebrated, they’re not coming home because they’ve secured any kind of long-term strategic victory in the region—not even by globalist standards,” Kassam said.
“Biden’s apparatus has humiliated America again and leaves dangerous parts of the world in worse situations than when they took office,” he explained.

Former United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle attempted to have the cocaine evidence discovered in the White House on July 2 of last year destroyed. However, the USSS‘s Forensics Services Division and the Uniformed Division were able to circumvent Cheatle’s effort and preserve the evidence.
According to journalist Susan Crabtree, after the discovery of the illicit drug in a West Wing vestibule, a Uniformed Division officer was assigned to investigate the incident. However, that officer was allegedly later removed from the investigation by now-acting Director Ronald Rowe after they refused to circumvent certain investigatory protocols.
Allegedly, Cheatle pushed the USSS‘s Forensics Services Division to destroy the small bag of cocaine after its discovery—fearing the media and public response given Hunter Biden‘s history of drug abuse. Additionally, USSS sources tell Crabtree that USSS agents on Joe and Jill Biden’s protective details have discovered and destroyed drug evidence in the West and East Wings in the past. However, the July 2, 2023 incident involved a USSS Uniformed Division member who had not served on Biden‘s security detail.
PARTIAL DNA HIT.
While the USSS insists the cocaine likely belonged to a tourist who left it in the vestibule where phone storage cubbies are located, no suspects have ever been publicly announced. However, agency sources claim the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was able to obtain a partial DNA hit from its national criminal databases. A partial hit likely suggests the FBI was able to connect the cocaine bag to an individual or individuals closely related to the person who left it at the White House.
The USSS, according to Crabtree, never followed up with the partial DNA hit. “That’s because they didn’t want to know, or even narrow down the field of who it could be,” an agency source claims, adding: “It could have been Hunter Biden, it could have been a staffer, it could have been someone doing a tour – we’ll never know.”

A Member of Parliament (MP) for Britain’s governing Labour Party spread fake news alleging a Muslim woman had acid thrown in her face in Middlesbrough, England. The false claim was initially posted on social media by Nick Lowles of the George Soros-funded HOPE Not Hate organization.
“Far right cowards [sic] attacking women. When people show you who they are, believe them,” declared Josh Fenton-Glyn, the MP for Calder Valley, West Yorkshire, in a now-deleted post to X (formerly Twitter), as his political fellow-travelers and corporate media allies were blaming populists like Nigel Farage for inflaming riots.
Lowles had claimed reports were “coming in” that acid had been thrown at a Muslim woman from a car in the English town, labeling the fictitious report “Absolutely horrific.” Police later confirmed no such incident had taken place.
Fenton-Glyn eventually removed the post, questionably claiming Lowles is “someone who’s generally a good [sic]” and adding it’s “important we correct misinformation where we see it.”
Lowles, for his part, acknowledged that “Police in Middlesbrough have denied any knowledge of this acid attack” but continued to stress that “some in the local Muslim community insist it happened.”
Middlesbrough is among many English cities and towns gripped by sometimes riotous protests in the wake of a deadly mass stabbing of multiple young girls, allegedly by a son of Rwandan migrants.
The protesters have been branded “far-right thugs” by Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, but reporting by British state media over the weekend—now deleted—shows mobs of Muslims have also been attacking white people “in response” to the demonstrations.

A new report reveals the Biden-Harris government has funneled billions of dollars to an international group that has demanded the censorship of conservative voices on social media. According to the evidence released by the Foundation for Freedom Online, the U.S. federal government has underwritten—using taxpayer dollars—the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), which has actively pushed for the censorship of right-leaning media since 2019.
GARM was created as an initiative of the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), which controls roughly 90 percent of advertiser spending worldwide. Four advertising agencies—IPG, Omnicom, WPP, and the Publicis Groupe—are responsible for GARM’s push for censorship. It is also through these agencies that GARM has been funneled U.S. taxpayer dollars.
IPG holds over $1.5 billion in government contracts with the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Defense (DOD). Omnicom holds roughly $5 billion in contracts with the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Meanwhile, WPP has earned $455 million from work done with the U.S. Navy. Additionally, Publicis Groupe has a $394.2 million contract with HHS.
GARM’S CENSORSHIP CAMPAIGN.
The U.S. House Judiciary Committee produced a report on Thursday detailing how GARM harnessed its control over Internet advertising revenue to pressure social media platforms—like X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook—to censor dissident speech and voices on the political right. In the case of X, GARM members claim they were able to severely impact advertiser money that the company’s earnings came in 80 percent below projections.
Another GARM target has been Spotify. The group pressured the podcast and music platform to drop its biggest subscriber draw, Joe Rogan, over various comments the entertainer has made, especially criticism of government policies regarding COVID-19. GARM targeted Spotify advertisers like Coca-Cola, warning the company that Rogan and his comments were “a major area of concern.”
In addition to targeting social media platforms, GARM has also targeted right-leaning media directly. The group has tried to drive advertisers away from news websites like Breitbart and The Daily Wire. This campaign appears to have been coordinated with the global censorship group NewsGuard.

A journalistic watchdog has published a scathing review of a prior report from a George Soros-funded group, which alleged members of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party were holding a secret conference to discuss deporting all people with a migration background from Germany, even if they are citizens.
The Übermedien expert group slammed the leftist activist group Correctiv for its misrepresentation of the facts. The watchdog also blasted the German mainstream media for being entirely uncritical of the claims made by Correctiv about a conference in Potsdam earlier this year that was attended by members of the AfD and Austrian anti-mass migration activist Martin Sellner.
The Correctiv report, which won awards in German media and sparked left-wing protests involving hundreds of thousands of people, is deeply flawed, according to the watchdog, noting a recent court case in which Correctiv outright admitted there was no formal talk of plans for the mass expulsions of migrants by the AfD.
“It has long been obvious how problematic Correctiv reporting and its reception are. And at the same time, how much a critical examination of it is lacking in large parts of the serious press,” the watchdog said.
FAKE REPORTS PROMPTED BANS FROM GERMANY.
Martin Sellner spoke at the Potsdam conference about the “remigration” of illegals and those who refuse to integrate into German society to their homelands, but Correctiv was accused by Übermedien of taking a few fragments of sentences he said, twisting them, and comparing his ideas to Naziethnic cleansing.
The watchdog was especially disturbed by the comparison to the Wannsee conference made by Correctiv in its reporting. The Wannsee conference was the first major meeting to decide on the implementation of what would become the Holocaust.
As a result of the misleading report, Martin Sellner was banned from entering Germany, despite the internal open borders of the European Union (EU) and the close links between Germany and Austria.
SOROS GROUP INVENTED ‘DEPORTATION OF MILLIONS’ PLAN.
Übermedien also notes that only two people in the conference spoke about remigration, but Correctiv implied that the entire conference was actively planning to deport millions of people from Germany.
The Correctiv report even opened by saying, “High-ranking AfD politicians, neo-Nazis and financially strong entrepreneurs came together in November in a hotel near Potsdam. They planned nothing less than the expulsion of millions of people from Germany.”
Correctiv had to note that Sellner had not said that he wanted to use unlawful means to deport anyone, and that others had even said deporting those with German passports was impossible.
REPORT DIVIDED THE POPULIST RIGHT.
The Correctiv report also had some repercussions on the AfD’s relations with other European populist parties. French National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen said she was reconsidering her party’s then-alliance with the AfD because of the report.
Following the European Parliament elections, the AfD had to go its own way and split from other leading populist parties, forming the Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) group along with other smaller parties from across Europe.
Le Pen and others joined with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban to form the Patriots for Europe group, whhile Italy’s Giorgia Meloni remains in the more establishment-friendly European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), effectively splitting the populist right.

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni slammed the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for allowing athletes who failed gender testing to still compete in the women’s medal competitions. “With these testosterone levels, this is not an equitable competition,” the Italian populist leader said during a televised press scrum. “Athletes with masculine attributes shouldn’t be allowed in women’s competitions.”
Meloni’s remarks come after controversy swept the 2024 Paris Olympics when Italian boxer Angela Carini quit her boxing bout against Algerian transgender Imane Khelif after just 46 seconds in the ring.
The National Pulse reported on Thursday that Carini said the blows from the biological male Algerian boxer “hurt too much.” Additionally, it appears her coaches viewed the match as being too physically dangerous for the Italian woman.
“I went into the ring to fight. I didn’t give up, but a punch hurt too much,” Carini said. She was struck twice by the Algerian man, with the second blow appearing to dislodge her helmet, and retreated to her corner. Reports indicate she said she had never been hit so hard and may have suffered a broken nose.
During Meloni’s remarks with the media, she specified that banning biological males from women’s sports is “[n]ot because we want to discriminate against anyone, but to protect the rights of female athletes to compete on equal terms.”

Research confirms artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) have leftist political preferences. An investigation assessed 24 LLMs, including Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Elon Musk’s Grok to determine political values, party affiliations, and personality traits.
The research, led by David Rozado of New Zealand‘s Otago Polytechnic University, utilized 11 different political orientation assessments, including the Political Compass Test and Eysenck’s Political Test. The results indicate that the LLMs predominantly produced answers categorized as ‘Progressive,’ ‘Democratic,’ and ‘Green.‘
The use of AI in products such as search engines has raised concerns, particularly amid accusations from figures like former PresidentDonald J. Trump and Elon Musk that it could interfere in elections. Elon Musk posted a screenshot of a search for ‘President Donald Trump‘ on X (formerly Twitter) which suggested ‘President Donald Duck’ and ‘President Ronald Reagan’ instead. Similar experiences ae reported by X users who claim they receive news about Kamala Harris while searching for Donald Trump.
Previously, Google‘s Gemini caused controversy by refusing to generate images of white people, as well as generating images of ethnic minorities in historically inappropriate contexts—like when asked to depict a Viking. Adobe’s Firefly has engaged in similar historical revisionism, depicting ‘America’s Founding Fathers’ as black and depicting soldiers in Adolf Hitler’s army as racially diverse, among other inaccuracies.
Wow, Google has a search ban on President Donald Trump!

A man from Atlanta has entered a guilty plea to charges of making interstate threats to murder Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Sean Patrick Cirillo, aged 34, faces a potential prison term of up to five years and will be sentenced on November 7.
Cirillo was accused of calling Greene‘s Washington D.C. office on November 8, 2023, where he made alarming statements to her staff. According to court documents, he stated he had “a bead on her like a sniper rifle” and threatened, “I’m gonna kill her next week.” Additionally, he said, “I’ll kill you too if you want,” and referenced “shoot[ing] her in the f****** head.”
Federal prosecutor Ryan K. Buchanan for the Northern District of Georgia condemned Cirillo’s actions in a statement released on Tuesday. “Threatening to kill a public official is reprehensible,” Buchanan emphasized. Additionally, he reiterated the commitment of his office, alongside federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, to not tolerate any forms of violence, threats, or intimidation against public officials.
Similarly, Keri Farley, special agent in charge at the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Atlanta office, underscored that violent threats, whether directed at elected officials or civilians, would not be normalized in America. She stated, “Our democracy depends on the ability of members of Congress to do their jobs without fearing for their safety.”
Cirillo reportedly admitted to making the calls during an FBI visit to his home the day after the threats were made. Subsequently, he revealed that he intended to “get attention,” as per the criminal complaint.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Republican voters in Maricopa County, Arizona’s most populous county, ousted a top elections official, Stephen Richer, in the primary re-election bid for Maricopa County recorder. Richer, who had defended the state’s voting system against claims of election fraud in 2020, lost to State Representative Justin Heap. The results were confirmed early Wednesday.
The closely watched campaign highlighted the divide within Arizona’s Republican Party, pitting the Trump-aligned faction against establishment Republicans. The outcome may significantly impact voting procedures in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix and its suburbs, and often influences the state’s political leaning.
As county recorder, Richer managed voter registration and mail-in voting, roles now controversial due to widespread election fraud. He positioned himself as a conservative who had enhanced transparency, improved voter roll accuracy, and strengthened verification procedures for voter signatures and ballot tracking. Richer was supported by former governors Jan Brewer and Doug Ducey, both Republicans.
However, Richer faced backlash from Republican voters for asserting that the 2020 election was not stolen from former President Donald Trump.
Heap will face Democrat Timothy Stringham, a military veteran, in the November general election.

Police in Virginia have arrested Liam Watson, a Blacksburg Town Council member, on felony charges associated with election and voter fraud. The 24-year-old Democrat faces three counts of election fraud and one count of illegal voting, according to online court records from an incident dating back to August 2023.
The charges were issued by a Montgomery County grand jury on Tuesday. The indictments claim Watson falsified information on his voter registration application, a declaration of candidacy form,and an organization candidate committee form. Additionally, he is accused of voting unlawfully in the election.
Watson previously criticized GOP election security reforms. In an October social media post, he accused Governor Glenn Youngkin and state Republicans of undermining voting rights. He also supported efforts to expand early voting access in Montgomery County.
Watson, who has held various roles in Montgomery County and recently won a seat on the Blacksburg Town Council through a write-in campaign, was released on a personal recognizance bond.
Election fraud has been a major issue since the 2020 presidential election, and several states have faced accusations of fraud in their voting systems.
Georgia has been an epicenter for accusations of voter fraud, and going into the November race, some are still sounding alarms over possible fraud. Fulton County has been under the most scrutiny, with reports finding that officials had implemented improper procedures during the 2020 elections, specifically regarding a recount of votes.
Earlier this month, the Georgia State Election Board amended rules to make sure the number of ballots cast is equal to the number counted to enhance election integrity.
