DOJ Ends Suit Against Virginia for Removing Noncitizens from Voter Rolls.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is withdrawing its lawsuit against Virginia, initially filed by the Biden government, seeking to bar the removal of noncitizens from the Commonwealth’s voter rolls. The move comports with a number of recent legal filings ramping down the Biden government’s lawfare actions following President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

The lawsuit was initiated in October following Virginia’s efforts to exclude approximately 1,600 individuals identified as potential non-citizens from its voter rolls. A federal judge had previously mandated Virginia reverse this decision and reinstate those individuals onto the voter lists. However, the U.S. Supreme Court later intervened by lifting the federal judge’s injunction, effectively allowing Virginia to proceed with its maintenance program for the voter registration rolls.

This ruling enabled the state to continue its policy of excluding non-citizens from voter eligibility, aligning state and federal law.

The Department of Justice’s recent decision to dismiss its lawsuit signals an acceptance of the current legal position outlined by the Supreme Court. Without this federal case hanging over it, Virginia is now free to maintain its voter roll practices as currently implemented.

During the 2024 election, The National Pulse documented numerous instances of noncitizens unlawfully casting ballots in American state and federal elections. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress attempted to close several legal loopholes by advancing the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act but were blocked by the then-Democrat-controlled Senate.

Bezos’s Washington Post in Free Fall, Loses $100M After Trump Election Victory.

The Washington Post continues its meteoric fall after President Donald J. Trump’s 2024 election victory and just days before his inauguration in Washington, D.C. While the newspaper—owned by Amazon retail giant billionaire Jeff Bezos—has undergone rounds of layoffs and seen readers flee since its editorial board declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris during the presidential election, it is now revealed The Washington Post has also lost $100 million in revenue in 2024 alone.

During the summer peak of the 2024 presidential election—when 82-year-old incumbent Joe Biden exited the race after a disastrous presidential debate performance and the first of two assassination attempts on President-elect Trump—The Washington Post only saw an average of 2.5 million to three million visitors to its website. The daily visitors over the summer of 2024 represent a steep drop off from the 22.5 million daily visitors when Biden was inaugurated in 2021.

Compounding the newspaper’s problems is a flight of top reporters, including Josh Dawsey and Michael Scherer. In addition, The Washington Post‘s editorial section has seen several of its top names resign in response to what they contend was Bezos’s decision to block an endorsement of Kamala Harris. In October, editor-at-large Robert Kagan—who is married to the Biden-Harris government’s Ukraine war architect Victoria Nuland—announced he was resigning his position. Meanwhile, just days before Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, Jennifer Rubin revealed she is leaving The Washington Post as well.

While the newspaper, whose slogan is “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” has always struggled with revenue, the recent numbers underscore its dire straits. Over the past several years, The Washington Post has undergone several rounds of significant layoffs and contract buyouts in an effort to stabilize its finances, albeit with little success.

Even CNN is Openly Mocking Joe Biden Over His Latest Election Claim.

Lame-duck President Joe Biden‘s insistence that he could have defeated President-elect Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential election is “absolutely bonkers,” according to data guru Harry Enten. In a video posted to X (formerly Twitter), the CNN analyst breaks down just how far Biden trailed Trump when the 82-year-old Democrat announced he would exit the race in late July—noting that polling data in no way reflects the claim.

“Based on the polling data, I categorize Biden’s statement that he could have beaten Trump as ‘flat out bonkers,'” Enten states on X. He adds: “Biden was well behind Trump when he dropped out. Biden never led in all of 2024. And no incumbent president who was anywhere near as unpopular as Biden has ever won.”

Despite all evidence, Biden and a handful of aides in his inner circle insist that he, and not any other Democrat, stood the best chance against Trump. However, in the video, Enten emphasizes: “The bottom line is this: Joe Biden was behind, he had always been behind, and he most likely would have stayed behind.”


Biden withdrew from the presidential race on July 21, 2024, amid mounting pressure following a catastrophic performance in a CNN debate in June, which led to heightened scrutiny about his advanced age, cognitive decline, and capability to serve a full term. He subsequently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to continue the Democratic Party’s presidential campaign.

Despite the data, Biden expressed confidence in an interview with USA Today‘s Susan Page, maintaining he would have defeated Trump if he had stayed in the race. Nevertheless, he appeared uncertain about whether he would have been able to serve until the end of a potential second term, saying, “Who the hell knows?”

BREAKING: Congress Certifies Trump’s Landslide 2024 Presidential Victory.

The United States Congress formally certified President-elect Donald J. Trump‘s landslide 2024 election victory on Monday, marking the penultimate step before the America First leader is sworn into office on January 20. Every four years, presidential election results are certified through a joint session of the House of Representatives and Senate.

Once sworn in, Trump will be only the second American to serve two non-consecutive terms in office—having held the White House from 2017 through 2021 and now from 2025 until 2029. Trump received a total of 312 electoral votes, while his Democratic Party opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, received 226 electoral votes.

During the 2001 certification, the Congressional Black Caucus systematically objected to confirming the electoral votes won by George W. Bush—each challenging the electoral votes from the State of Florida. These objections were rejected by Democrat Vice President Al Gore—who lost the election to Bush—as they lacked a Senator as a second. During the 2025 certification, no Democrats objected to the slate of electors from any state.

Lawfare

Documents Reveal AZ AG Colluded with Anti-Trump Attorney’s Non-Profit on Election Lawfare.

Former Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark has obtained documents linking the Arizona Attorney General’s office with the States United Democracy Center—a far-left non-profit lawfare group associated with attorney Norm Eisen, a key figure in  President Donald J. Trump’s first sham impeachment. The documents appear to be a retainer agreement from States United to advise the Arizona Attorney General’s office on lawfare aimed to suppress critics of how the state conducts its elections and those who might question the results.

“This letter explains and confirms the terms and conditions under which States United Democracy Center (‘States United’) will undertake to advise the Arizona Attorney General’s Office (‘you’, ‘your’) in connection with developing legal strategies to ensure the integrity and security of elections,” the letter of understanding reads. Although the primary attorneys assigned to coordinate with the attorney general’s office are redacted, the States United letter notes other attorneys or non-attorney staff with the lawfare non-profit “may handle various portions of this matter pro bono or otherwise…”

The letter confirming the partnership was sent just nine days before Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) secured a sprawling series of indictments against 18 individuals associated with President Trump over allegations they attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Notably, the grand jury empaneled by Mayes went much further than the Democrat attorney general intended, indicting both Trump campaign attorney Christina Bobb and Jenna Ellis—both of whom were told by Mayes’s office that they were not under investigation.

Meanwhile, Eisen—the executive chair of States United—has a long record of anti-Trump actions. In April 2024, The National Pulse reported that Eisen hosted a weekly conference call of globalist leaders and Deep State apparachiks to strategize on how to expand the lawfare campaign against Trump.

These Pennsylvania Trump Numbers Are Sending Democrats Into a Tailspin.

Historic shifts among a broad swath of the Pennsylvania electorate helped deliver victory for President-elect Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential race. The Trump campaign’s populist America First agenda saw broad appeal across demographics, with working-class and young voters especially drawn to the President-elect’s message.

According to exit polls conducted by CNN, Trump saw a 16-point shift among voters aged 18 to 29 compared to his showing in the 2020 presidential election. Voters identifying as political independents moved 15 points toward Trump. Meanwhile, Hispanics shifted 24 points in favor of the America First leader, while black men moved 31 points.

Even among demographics considered staunchly pro-Trump, the President-elect saw improvement—gaining eight points among non-college-educated voters and six points among men overall. Trump saw a four-point shift with voters earning under $50,000 annually—a group traditionally associated with casting ballots for Democrats.

The significant voter shift resulted in Trump capturing all four of the critical bellwether Pennsylvania counties: Bucks, Erie, Monroe, and Northampton. Notably, these areas also saw heavy voter turnout during early voting in the days before November 5. According to the Trump campaign’s chief data consultant, Tim Saler, the high turnout was driven largely by the campaign’s efforts to target and energize low and mid-propensity voters.

Saler, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), reveals: “A newly-registered voter generated from @TeamTrump target lists turned out at a 17 [percent] higher rate than all other new registrants in Pennsylvania, and 16 [percent] higher than all previously-registered voters—despite being 81 [percent] harder to reach.” Additionally, Saler notes low to mid-propensity voters contacted by campaign or otherwise-aligned canvassers “turned out at a 21 [percent] higher rate than an equivalent Harris voter.”

Kamala Poised for Lucrative Book Deal Despite Landslide Election Loss.

Kamala Harris is set to rebound from her historic election loss to President-elect Donald J. Trump with substantial offers from publishers for a potential book deal. Media speculation suggests leading publishing houses are offering up to $20 million for exclusive rights to a book detailing Harris’s experiences, including her election campaign.

According to one insider, “Virtually the moment Kamala lost to Trump, offers began pouring in from the publishing world.” The proposed book is expected to cover her interactions with Joe Biden, campaign strategies, and the events that unfolded within the Oval Office.

In addition to publishing offers, there is speculation regarding potential interest from streaming services such as Netflix, which is considering producing content related to Harris after her tenure as Vice President. Similar endeavors have been pursued with other political figures, though outcomes vary.

Book deals for political figures are historically lucrative. In 2001, former President Bill Clinton secured a $10 million advance for his memoir. Later, in 2017, Barack and Michelle Obama negotiated a $65 million agreement with Penguin Random House for their joint publications.

Critics, however, question a Harris book’s potential success. Some note the challenges she faced in communicating effectively with the electorate during her campaign. Others recall past accusations of plagiarism related to her 2009 publication, Smart on Crime, which she co-authored while she served as San Francisco’s district attorney.

MSNBC Wants Anchors Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle to Take Pay Cuts as Network Spirals.

MSNBC hosts Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle are reportedly being asked to accept reduced salaries to maintain their roles as the network seeks to cut costs. This development follows a recent pay cut for Rachel Maddow, whose salary was reduced by $5 million annually. The far-left news network has seen ratings plummet for its flagship programming since President-elect Donald J. Trump’s landslide 2024 election victory.

Joy Reid, currently hosting the 8 PM show The ReidOut, is believed to earn $3 million annually. Reid, with MSNBC since 2011 and a primetime anchor since 2020, has recently reemerged as a leading conspiracy theorist regarding the first assassination attempt against Trump and other ‘BlueAnon‘ figments. Meanwhile, Stephanie Ruhle, who hosts The 11th Hour at 11 PM weeknights, reportedly receives $2 million annually. Ruhle, known for her critiques of Donald Trump, recently acknowledged his accessibility to the press compared to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Jonathan Lemire, newly appointed co-host of Morning Joe, is also facing a potential salary reduction

MSNBC, headquartered at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, is experiencing internal concern over potential layoffs after parent company Comcast announced plans to spin off its cable properties. There are further concerns regarding the future of MSNBC President Rashida Jones, although network representatives have denied reports of her potential departure. This situation arises amidst declining primetime ratings, with MSNBC’s viewership dropping by more than 50 percent since November.

Meanwhile, competing network Fox News has reported a 7 percent increase in audience numbers since Election Day, maintaining its status as the leading cable news channel in both total viewers and the important 25-54 age demographic.

Small Businesses Expect Better Economy, Growing Revenue in Trump’s First Year.

A recent report from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and MetLife shows an optimistic outlook among small businesses for a revenue boost in 2025. The Small Business Index report, which sampled 750 small business owners and operators, indicates that 72 percent of small businesses expect revenue growth next year.

The optimism stems from small business owners’ belief that Donald J. Trump‘s election as the 47th President of the United States will benefit the economy. “The growing optimism among small business owners since the beginning of the year is a positive sign as we move into 2025 and potentially points to increasing opportunities in the new year,” MetLife vice president Bradd Chignoli said in a statement. He added: “As more and more employers look to increase investment and staff size, it is important to take advantage of the resources available to them, such as voluntary benefits, which can help strengthen their company’s culture and help attract and retain new talent.”

Inflation remains a top issue for many small business owners, though 32 percent of owners report improvements in the U.S. economy compared to 2023.

Red tape is another significant issue, with 51 percent of respondents indicating that licensing and permits hinder their growth. Consequently, 47 percent spend considerable effort on regulatory compliance.

President-elect Trump is indicating he will use the Congressional Review Act to end many of the Biden-era regulations in the immediate days of his presidency and work to roll back others over the course of his term in office. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will also lead an effort dubbed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to make the government work better for citizens.

Pollster J. Ann Selzer Claims She Is ‘Mystified’ by Election Interference Allegations.

J. Ann Selzer, the pollster involved in the controversial survey that inaccurately forecasted Iowa would favor Democrats in the 2024 election, is addressing allegations that she manipulated her polling data. The poll, sponsored by the Des Moines Register, suggested Vice President Kamala Harris was leading President-elect Donald J. Trump by three points in the predominantly Republican state. Ultimately, Trump secured Iowa by over 13 points.

In a recent interview on PBS’s Iowa Press, Selzer dismissed allegations that she manipulated data intentionally. “I’m mystified about what motivation anyone thinks I had to act unethically in such a public poll,” Selzer remarked. Despite this, she expressed concern over the seriousness of the accusations, noting, “They’re saying this was election interference, which is a crime.”

Some critics have insinuated that Selzer colluded with or was influenced by external parties to skew the poll results. Meanwhile, President-elect Trump blasted the survey in a post on Truth Social in mid-November.

“A totally Fake poll that caused great distrust and uncertainty at a very critical time,” Trump wrote, continuing: “She knew exactly what she was doing.”

“Thank you to the GREAT PEOPLE OF IOWA for giving me such a record breaking vote, despite possible ELECTION FRAUD by Ann Selzer and the now discredited ‘newspaper’ for which she works. An investigation is fully called for!” he added.

Selzer accurately forecasted the outcomes of the 2016 and 2020 presidential races and the margin of Barack Obama’s 2012 win. When asked about her methodology’s failure in this election, Selzer stated, “I wish I knew the answer… The reality is that more Trump supporters turned out.” She awaits further data from the Iowa Secretary of State.

Two weeks after the election, Selzer announced she was retiring from polling.
