Biden Backs Down From Taking Executive Action To Secure US Southern Border.

President Joe Biden backed down on Monday from comments he made earlier this year suggesting he would take executive action to secure the US southern border. The Democrat President said he was looking to Congress for a legislative fix for the border crisis, telling the press aboard Air Force One that he would not take actions similar to those enacted by former President Donald Trump.

“I’m counting on the border action happening by itself, them passing it,” the President said. When confronted about the Senate’s inability to reach a bipartisan agreement on the border, Biden replied, “Well, they haven’t yet, they haven’t yet. I’m helping them.”

In response to plummeting approval polls, sources inside the Biden government suggested in late February that the President was considering the use of presidential 212f authority to limit the number of asylum seekers who could be released into the US. Biden, however, faced almost immediate pushback from progressives and open border advocates within the Democrat Party.

A coalition of over 150 progressive political groups sent a scathing letter to the Biden White House, opposing executive action to restrict the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border. The coalition accused Biden of emulating former President Trump, adding that any action by the Democrat President would “tarnish [his] administration irreparably.”

Almost immediately after his inauguration as President, Biden swiftly moved to reverse many of former President Trump’s executive orders relating to immigration policy and border security. The move by Biden sparked a rush of illegal immigrants towards the US southern border — in large part fueling a crisis that has arguably become the central issue in the 2024 presidential election.

Fani Willis Met With Kamala Harris In 2023 Despite Testifying She Had Not Met With Any White House Officials.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was accused this week of holding a private meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris before she indicted Donald Trump. The claim, presented by Ashley Merchant during a Georgia state Senate committee investigation into Willis’ alleged misconduct, is supported by White House documents indicating Willis participated in a “meeting with the vice president.” Willis indicted Trump and 18 others in August 2023 for alleged interference with Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results.

Evidence Merchant found in a White House visitor log dated February 28, 2023, shows Willis and Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens were at the vice president’s residence, listed as VPR. However, it appears the meeting was a large garden event hosted by Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff in partnership with Black entertainment network BET. This event, held in honor of younger black leaders, was attended by approximately 400 guests, including Willis and Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Dexter Bond.

Publicly available records do not show conclusively that there was a conversation between Willis and Vice-President Harris. However, Willis could have interacted with the Vice President directly before, during, or after the event. During her disqualification hearing before Judge Scott McAfee, Willis testified that she had not attended any events or meetings at the White House or the Vice Presidential Mansion.

The National Pulse previously reported that Vice President Harris had purchased thousands of customized candles with a personalized scent to give to guests and visitors as a gift. It is unclear whether Willis received a candle from Harris.

Kochs, Outside Groups Blew $85 MILLION Backing Nikki Haley.

Outside political advocacy groups spent $85.2 million supporting Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign, leading to the former South Carolina governor securing merely 89 of the 2,429 available Republican primary delegates before her withdrawal on Wednesday — a total cost of over $957,300 per delegate.

Among Haley’s largest benefactors were Yes for America Action and Americans for Prosperity Action, who — along with Haley’s campaign committee — collectively spent around $120 million during this election cycle. The former South Carolina governor spent approximately $1.3 million for each delegate secured — three times greater than the median US home price.

Spending by these groups in the Republican presidential primary overwhelmingly went to Haley compared to Trump and DeSantis, with a bulk of the money being dropped in early primary states. Pro-Haley groups spent $40 million in Iowa — the inaugural state to hold a primary election — where Haley only managed a distant third place.

These groups spent a further $31 million and $8 million backing Haley’s campaign in New Hampshire and South Carolina, respectively. However, she failed to secure victory in either state. By the time Super Tuesday arrived — the Republican primary’s most significant day — outside financial backing for Haley had dwindled, with third-party groups spending less than a million dollars backing Haley across the 15 states holding primaries.

FEC records show that SFA Fund, Haley’s primary Super PAC, disbursed over $51.5 million on efforts to gain traction in the primary. Meanwhile, Americans For Prosperity Action spent more than $31.2 million supporting Haley. The Charles Koch-backed group discontinued its financial backing after Haley’s loss in the February 24 South Carolina primary.

EXPLAINED: The ‘Tall Tales’ Told By Biden During His State of the Union Speech.

Joe Biden peddled several false claims during Thursday’s State of the Union Address. The 81-year-old Democrat — known to tell tall tales — delivered a speech before Congress that was more akin to a campaign kick-off than the typically more staid affair expected for the State of the Union.

In relation to American involvement with Ukraine, Biden suggested that Republicans opposing the allocation of additional U.S. taxpayer dollars to the country are in favor of America abandoning its global leadership status. However, those opposed have consistently highlighted the need for American interests to take precedence over those of other nations.

Biden also made a misleading claim regarding former President Donald Trump’s interactions with Russia’s Vladimir Putin” , implying Trump gave Putin free rein in Eastern Europe. Yet, context reveals that Trump’s statement — made during a rally — was part of a story recounting interactions with a NATO member not paying their defense obligations. Biden additionally claimed the West would be further endangered without renewed American aid to Ukraine – which is not backed up by currently available evidence.

Biden stated that the riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 — and subsequent concerns regarding the integrity of the 2020 presidential election — represented the “gravest threat” to American democracy since the Civil War. This claim ignores historic moments of danger like World War I, World War II, the Cold War, and the 9-11 Terrorist Attacks.

Contrary to President Biden’s statement that his administration has created 15 million new jobs, economic data shows that this number conflates jobs recovered post-Covid lockdowns with newly created positions. The National Pulse has previously reported that legal and illegal immigrant labor has fueled most of the job recovery under President Biden.

Regarding inflation, despite Biden’s statement that the U.S. has the world’s lowest rate, several countries currently have a demonstrably lower inflation rate, including Canada, Japan, and Switzerland. Additionally, Biden’s remarks about an increase in consumer confidence contradict several standard measures that show confidence on the decline.

Biden Botches Laken Riley Name During State of the Union.

Joe Biden attempted to address the murder of Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant for the first time during his State of the Union address 40 minutes into the speech. However, the 81-year-old could not get the nursing student’s name correct — twice referring to her as “Lincoln.”

Responding to Republican lawmakers who have for weeks attacked Biden for failing to address the murder of Laken Riley, Biden briefly ditched the text of his speech to acknowledge her death.

The Democrat held up a pin with Laken Riley’s name on it, which was given to him by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA); he entered the House chamber, claiming: “I know how to say her name!” He then described her as “Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal, that’s right.”

“But how many thousands of people being killed by illegals?” he added incoherently.

Former Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi upbraided Biden for referring to Riley’s alleged murderer as an “illegal” after the address, telling CNN the President “should have said undocumented.”

MSNBC Compares Defeating Trump to ‘Saving Europe from Hitler.’

The Second World War struggle against Nazi Germany is comparable to defeating former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, according to MSNBC.

During a discussion on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” panelist Mike Barnicle directly compared US involvement in WWII and efforts to defeat Trump at the ballot box.

Reflecting on James Rudder of the Second Airborne Battalion’s actions at Pointe du Hoc during the Normandy invasion, Barnicle noted, “he went right at the Germans, right at the Germans. Fifty percent casualty rate. Why did they do it? They did it because we were Americans, and we were there to save Europe from Hitler.” Barnicle continued: “And now, all of these years later, we have to get together as a country and save the country from the threat that Donald Trump proposes.”

Comparing Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler is a favorite rhetorical tactic of the Left. In January, it was reported that the Biden campaign’s efforts to portray Trump as a threat to ‘democracy’ were part of a “full Hitler” strategy designed to deceive the public.

Super Tuesday Plagued By Election Glitches, Delays, and Other Issues.

Voters nationwide ran into delays, voting machine errors, and other issues while trying to cast their ballots on Super Tuesday. Localities in Alabama, California, Texas, and Utah all reported election day issues that caused long lines and resulted in some voters leaving without filling out a ballot.

Nevada County, County California, could not check in voters for nearly an hour on Tuesday morning. Officials said the county’s computerized check-in system was down at the time. Voters who were impacted were allowed to cast provisional ballots. Officials for Nevada County said the check-in system issue resulted from a vendor error and not a complication on their end.

A newly formed congressional district in Alabama resulted in serious confusion among election officials and voters. In Montgomery County, election officials sent 6,593 voters the incorrect district information — resulting in some voters trying to vote in a neighboring congressional race. The Montgomery County Board of Elections says that election software used by the county erroneously identified some voters living in the 7th Congressional District as residing in the 2nd Congressional District instead.

Once again, Harris County, Texas, saw several concerning election issues. The Texas county, which includes Houston, has a long history of election controversies — and Super Tuesday was no different. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg (D) tried to vote, only to be told she had already cast her ballot. According to the county clerk, Ogg’s life partner had accidentally voted in her earlier in the week. The Democrat lost her re-election bid. Other Texas counties sent the wrong ballots to precincts — again caused by redistricting issues — while others experienced delays as ballot scanners failed.

In Utah, an attempt to use “QR Codes” to sign in state caucus goers ran into severe technical glitches. The digital system could not handle the volume of voters and stopped functioning. Republican officials were forced, instead, to check in voters by hand and compare their ID with voter rolls. The slow process resulted in many caucusgoers simply leaving. In Salt Lake County, the caucus ran out of ballots. Caucusgoers were directed to write down their presidential choice on a scrap of paper. Those voters were then later hand-counted.

Trump Meets With Musk, Fueling Speculation.

Elon Musk — the world’s second richest man — privately met with former President Donald Trump on Sunday in Palm Beach, Florida. Several Republican mega-donors also attended the meeting, according to the New York Times. As Trump prepares to mount a general election campaign against President Joe Biden, it remains unclear if Musk will financially back or endorse Trump’s potential 2024 presidential bid.

In recent weeks, Musk has clarified that he believes President Joe Biden must be defeated in the November 2024 presidential election. If Musk decides to back former President Trump’s effort to retake the White House, he could use some of his $200 billion net worth to erase Biden’s current fundraising advantage in the contest.

The tech entrepreneur and billionaire has leveled criticism against both Biden and Trump in the past. Last year, he indicated his tacit support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the Republican presidential primary. DeSantis dropped out of the Republican contest after his double-digit loss to Trump in the Iowa Republican Caucus.

On the same day Musk met with Trump, the tech mogul made several posts on X (formerly Twitter) — which Musk owns — criticizing the Biden government’s open border immigration policies. He also announced his support for several Republican candidates, including Marty O’Donnell, a Republican congressional hopeful in Nevada, and Jeremy Sylestine, a district attorney candidate in Austin, Texas.

Taylor Tells ‘Swifties’ To ‘Vote The People Who Most Represent YOU.’

Taylor Swift took to Instagram on Tuesday morning to encourage her fans — referred to as “Swifties” — to vote in the Super Tuesday primary elections. The pop singer has thus far refrained from endorsing any candidates in the 2024 presidential election, despite speculation she may back President Joe Biden.

The mega-star urged her fans to support politicians who best represent their interests but made no formal endorsements. “I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power. If you haven’t already, make a plan to vote today,” she said.

Swift’s notable lack of a direct endorsement for any candidate comes amidst wide speculation among national political circles regarding her potential influence on the election. Many analysts have highlighted the enormous power of Swift’s social media presence and zealous fanbase. In past years, the singer was known for mobilizing her fans to contribute to various causes, drawing the attention of high-profile figures such as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The Biden and Trump campaigns have expressed their regard for Swift’s potential influence.

Swift has remained coy about whether she will endorse a candidate in the upcoming presidential election. If and who Swift might endorse has drawn increasing public debate. In 2020, Swift endorsed Joe Biden against then-President Donald Trump. She also backed several Democrat candidates in Tennessee during the 2018 mid-term elections.

WATCH: Voter Tells Fox News Live That She Won’t Vote ‘Menopausal’ Nikki Haley.

A female Texas voter said she would not vote for a woman for President, especially Nikki Haley, who she called “menopausal.”

The voter’s comments came during a live Texas voter segment on Fox & Friends after reporter Will Cain announced that former First Lady Michelle Obama said she would not run for President in 2024. The woman Cain was speaking with — sitting in a diner booth with her husband — cheered the news, saying: “Thank God, yes!”

“I wouldn’t vote for a woman,” the woman told Cain. She added, “And especially, you know, Nikki Haley, I’m just going to say this, she’s probably menopausal. We don’t need that.”

Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt tried to cushion the woman’s comments. “You don’t want a woman that is not the right woman. Look at the stark contrast of Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris,” Earhardt said from the Fox News studio. She added: “Yeah, two totally different individuals that could be President one day. And they’re completely different. So you don’t, she’s absolutely right. And you don’t want a woman who doesn’t want to be President running for President.”

Haley, the former Governor of South Carolina, has refused calls for her to drop out of the Republican presidential primary. Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has handily won all but one of the early primary contests. The only win notched by Haley was the relatively inconsequential Republican primary contest in Washington, DC.
