Biden’s Press Sec is Now at War With Her Former Colleagues.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced harsh criticism from anonymous Biden government insiders following her announcement of leaving the Democratic Party to register as an independent.

👥 Who’s Involved: Karine Jean-Pierre and anonymous Biden staffers.

📍 Where & When: Washington, D.C.; the backlash followed Jean-Pierre’s announcement on Wednesday and new book release in June 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “She was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with,” said an anonymous former Biden official.

⚠️ Impact: The public fallout highlights internal tensions within the Biden government and raises questions about loyalty and competence among senior officials.

IN FULL:

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre became the target of sharp criticism from anonymous Biden government insiders just one day after announcing her departure from the Democratic Party. Jean-Pierre, who served as the public face of the Biden White House for over two years, revealed in her new book, Independent, that she had registered as an independent, citing a need for Americans to “free ourselves of boxes” and think more strategically about the nation’s challenges.

However, the former Biden White House Press Secretary’s decision to ditch the Democratic Party is already drawing ire from her former colleagues, with some viewing the move as a betrayal. A number of former Biden government staffers are anonymously slamming Jean-Pierre in the media, with one former official describing her as “one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with,” adding that she struggled to manage her team and deliver coherent policy messages.

Another former communications official criticized Jean-Pierre’s decision to position herself as an outsider despite enjoying the perks of close proximity to power during her time in the administration. “The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider… is as breathtaking as it is desperate,” the unnamed official said, suggesting the move was primarily a “cash grab” tied to her book release.

Additional anonymous sources revealed frustrations within the White House about the amount of effort spent “coddling” Jean-Pierre compared to focusing on substantive issues. Critics claimed she frequently experienced “meltdowns” when confronted with unexpected questions during interviews. The swift and public nature of the criticism underscores ongoing tensions among the former Biden government staff, as no significant voices have come forward to defend Jean-Pierre amid the backlash.

Notably, Jean-Pierre played a key role in defending President Biden’s cognitive fitness, despite internal concerns about his performance during public appearances, including a debate with President Donald J. Trump. Jean-Pierre had publicly vouched for Biden’s mental acuity, calling him “as sharp as ever” at the time.

Biden Champions DEI at Detroit NAACP Dinner.

Speaking at the Detroit NAACP Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner on Sunday night, Joe Biden lauded diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as the “core strength of America.” Biden touted his administration’s diversity, which he claims to be the most diverse in the United States’ history. He emphasized the role of DEI in tapping into the full range of talents in staffing his government.

“Look, the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion are the core strength of America,” Biden stated. “That’s why I’m proud to have the most diverse administration in history to tap into the full talents of our country. I promised you when I was elected I would have an administration that looked more like America. We have more African-American [sic], more women, more minorities in our administration than any other administration in all of history. That’s why we’re doing so damn well.”

Contrary to Biden’s claims of success, recent polling by the New York Times and Siena College indicates that voters prefer returning former President Donald J. Trump to the White House in November rather than the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent. The Biden government has struggled to bring high prices under control, and recent economic indicators suggest inflation is even re-accelerating.

DEI RUN AMOK. 

Additionally, the diversity Biden touts in his government has resulted in several federal employees and political appointees being arrested for crimes ranging from espionage to theft. A DEI initiative implemented in hiring Secret Service agents appears to have even resulted in the training of an underqualified and mentally unsound individual who served on Kamala Harris’s detail.  In April, the National Pulse reported that the agent engaged in a fistfight with superiors before Harris arrived at Andrews Air Force Base. Days later, it was revealed the agent had even thrown menstrual pads at her colleagues during the confrontation.

Trans Singer Calls for Biden’s Assassination Over Israel.

Transgender singer-songwriter Ethel Cain has seemingly called for the assassination of members of the Biden government and Joe Biden himself in a post on Instagram. Cain reposted an image graphic from Democracy Now regarding the Biden government’s $1 billion weapons sale to Israel, adding the comment: “We need to bring back assassinations.” He then posted a black square image while tagging Biden’s official government Instagram account with the message: “@joebiden bitch”

In a follow-up post, Cain became more irate, stating: “feel like i’m taking crazy pills living in america in this day and age. billionaires and politicians should be strung up in the street because what the hell is going on. and we can’t even have a revolution because our terroristic military would crush us in a heartbeat if we tried to revolt.”

The threats by Cain mark the latest escalation in progressive political criticism of Biden — dubbed ‘Genocide Joe‘ — and the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza. Former President Donald J. Trump holds a significant polling lead in the 2024 presidential election over the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent. The Biden re-election campaign has struggled to shore up support among Arab American, Muslim, and progressive voters amidst his government’s ongoing aid and weapons sales to Israel.

According to 18 US Code § 871, making threats against the President of the United States is categorized as a Class E felony. Those found guilty of making threats could face a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.

The National Pulse previously reported that earlier this month, the Peruvian government passed a resolution categorizing transgender, nonbinary, and intersex individuals as “mentally ill.”

ILLEGITIMATE: Majority Say Biden HAS LOST Consent of the Governed.

Nearly 60 percent of American voters say the Biden government lacks the consent of the governed, a key provision in the Declaration of Independence. A new poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports indicates that 57 percent of respondents believe the federal government lacks legitimacy in governing Americans.

The belief that the federal government lacks the consent of the governed was held by a majority of both men and women, with 60 and 53 percent saying they agreed with the sentiment, respectively. Skepticism of the federal government’s authority was strongest among middle-aged and older voters, with 61 percent of those over 40 saying the government lacks consent. Additionally, 63 percent of Hispanics and 58 percent of White voters say the federal government lacks the consent of the governed.

Meanwhile, a plurality of respondents said they agreed with the statement, “The republic the Founders created has already fallen.” According to Rasmussen, 47 percent of voters agreed with the sentiment. Surprisingly, this number was driven primarily by female respondents, with 53 percent of women saying the republic has already fallen, while just 43 percent of men said the same.

Even more surprising is that only 46 percent of White voters said the republic has already fallen, whereas 48 percent of Black voters said the same. Again, Hispanics expressed the most skepticism towards the state of the Biden government, with 50 percent saying they believe the republic has fallen.

The disillusionment with the Biden government among minority voters has become a serious issue for the 81-year-old Democrat‘s re-election campaign. Biden’s inability to bring inflation and prices under control has compounded anger among Black and Hispanic voters who were already turning against Democrats over their refusal to address the ongoing illegal immigration crisis at the southern border.

ANOTHER Illegal Arrested For Sexually Assaulting a Child.

A 20-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala was arrested and charged with kidnapping and raping an 11-year-old girl in Palm Beach, Florida, after being released into the United States by the Biden government. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office states that records indicated Marvin Perez Lopez entered the country illegally this past January. He was briefly detained by Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) before being released into the country with an order to appear in a federal immigration court in 2027.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s timeline of the assault reveals that on May 2, the mother of the victim discovered her daughter in a van with Lopez, who also resided in their apartment complex. The mother — initially hesitant to involve law enforcement because of her own immigration status — eventually reported her daughter’s assault.

Local police interviewed the girl, who claimed she was forcibly taken into the van by Lopez and sexually assaulted. While attempting to escape the van, the girl was held back by Lopez. Law enforcement officers arrived at Lopez’s residence the next day to arrest the illegal alien. He reportedly fled in an effort to try and avoid capture. Despite running, authorities quickly apprehended the illegal immigrant accused of sexual assault.

Lopez is being held without bail in the Palm Beach County Jail.

The National Pulse has reported on a concerning number of sexual assaults committed by illegal immigrants.

NYT Editor Blasts Biden Regime: They Want to Be Covered Like Chinese State Media Covers the CCP.

New York Times Executive Editor Joe Kahn slammed the Biden regime for its criticism of the newspaper’s coverage, suggesting that the White House would prefer the Times to document the administration’s activities much like Pravda, the state-run Soviet newspaper. The remarks follow allegations from the White House that the Times isn’t doing enough to prevent Donald Trump‘s return to office.

“To say that the threats of democracy are so great that the media is going to abandon its central role as a source of impartial information to help people vote — that’s essentially saying that the news media should become a propaganda arm for a single candidate, because we prefer that candidate’s agenda,” Kahn said.

“It’s our job to cover the full range of issues that people have. At the moment, democracy is one of them. But it’s not the top one — immigration happens to be the top [of polls], and the economy and inflation is the second. Should we stop covering those things because they’re favorable to Trump and minimize them?” Kahn asked rhetorically.

“I don’t even know how it’s supposed to work in the view of Dan Pfeiffer or the White House. We become an instrument of the Biden campaign? We turn ourselves into Xinhua News Agency or Pravda and put out a stream of stuff that’s very, very favorable to them and only write negative stories about the other side?”

The Biden White House has been highly hostile to media sources that dare to criticize the regime and has gone to great lengths to control media coverage. Last month, it was reported that the regime went as far as pressuring fact-checker Snopes to change one of its ratings.

EXC: U.S. State Media DELETES Pro-Biden ‘Fact Check’ After Rep. Gaetz Exposes Propaganda in National Pulse Exclusive.

The taxpayer-funded Voice of America (VOA) media outlet has removed a post that spread Biden government disinformation against Representative Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) investigation into the status of U.S. troops stationed in Niger, The National Pulse can reveal.

On April 26, The National Pulse was also first to report on a letter Rep. Gaetz sent to VOA’s acting director, John Lippman, demanding they remove a post that insinuated the Florida Republican’s Niger report was Russian disinformation.

“Our Polygraph.info post concerned the article from BreakThrough News in which you were quoted and not your quote itself. That is why our reporter did not call your office,” acting director Lippman wrote in a letter responding to Gaetz. Despite initially trying to cover for his taxpayer-funded organization’s mistake, Lippman conceded: “In hindsight, we should have. We did not intend the story to be accusatory of you and apologize if you felt that it was.”

“We have removed the post from our website and will be taking corrective action so that our writing is more specific when calling into question the content of published reports,” the VOA acting director continued. He concluded: “We don’t want people who may be quoted in the original articles to be inadvertently tarred with the same brush.”

The post is now simply a blank page that reads, “The story at this URL is undergoing further editing.

While the concession from VOA marks a win for rolling back government agencies and publicly-funded programs that spread Biden regime propaganda, it does fall short of addressing some of Rep. Gaetz‘s specific objections. Lippman does not acknowledge the fact that VOA made claims stating the State Department and Pentagon have been engaged in “continuing talks” with the Niger government, something the Congressman’s investigation found to be false.

Additionally, the letter did not address his outlet’s false denial of poor equipment conditions and lack of troop rotations for American soldiers stationed in the African country.

REVEALED: Biden’s New Migration Advisor is Foreign-Born Open Borders Advocate.

Marcela Escobari, Biden‘s new migration advisor, is a foreign-born, open-borders advocate who is unlikely to advance or support any measures to seriously stem the flow of migrants into the U.S.

Born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, Escobari is an international development specialist by trade. She served as the Assistant Administrator of the Latin American and Caribbean Bureau at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under Barack Obama. She again assumed that position in the Biden government in 2022 following a stint at the globalist, pro-open borders Brookings Institute.

Addressing Congress last year, Escobari bragged about the Latin American bureau’s role in doubling the number of H-2 visa migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

“We also support legal pathways, so that people can migrate in conditions of dignity, safety, and mutual benefit,” Escobari said. “USAID’s work with the ministries of labor in Guatemala and Honduras and the ministry of foreign affairs in El Salvador has more than doubled the number of H-2 visa recipients from these countries to almost 20,000 and reduced processing times threefold.”

Prior to her second stint at USAID, Escobari may have also had a hand in shaping the Biden regime’s immigration policies that led to the current migrant crisis, co-leading the Development, Global Health and Refugee policy working group for Biden’s 2020 campaign.

While her work at USAID has involved addressing issues with border enforcement within Latin American countries, she demonstrates Biden’s commitment to “expanding lawful pathways” for more migrants to enter the country, an NSC spokesman told Axios.

Guess How Much Biden Recently Funneled to the Taliban?

A recent audit by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) indicates the Biden regime has indirectly provided around $1.3 million to the Taliban via weapons removal projects in Afghanistan. The oversight group also revealed that an additional $5 million is earmarked for the same cause, which will presumably be implemented under the Taliban’s authority.

The revelations are coupled with warnings from SIGAR that Afghanistan is reemerging as a hotspot for terrorist activities and the spending of taxpayer’s money on weapons removal may inadvertently be benefiting the Taliban. The removal efforts are part of the U.S.’ $17 billion investment in post-withdrawal Afghanistan, which according to SIGAR, remains somewhat unmonitored due to limited government cooperation.

Amid a rising count of terrorist attacks, SIGAR reports indicate that the Taliban is colluding with various notorious terror outfits like al Qaeda and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. ISIS operations are also said to be expanding in Afghanistan.

The agenda of the Taliban regime, known for its strict imposition of Islamic law, has witnessed an escalation in human rights violations. Copious Afghan refugees are entering the U.S. through the U.S.-Mexico border. SIGAR’s interviews with the refugees reveal an alarming lack of coordination by the U.S. government in tracking those who enter the country.

The American exit from Afghanistan itself was a disastrous failure for the Biden government, with one historian calling it America’s “greatest humiliation since Saigon.” The botched withdrawal culminated in an ISIS-K terrorist attack at Kabul airport’s Abbey Gate.

EXC: Gaetz Uncovers How YOUR Cash is Funding Biden Regime Disinfo.

Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) says the taxpayer-funded international news outlet Voice of America (VOA) is promoting disinformation against publicly elected U.S. officials—including himself—through its “fact-checking” site Polygraph.info. In a letter to the Biden government-backed news outlet’s acting director, John Lippman, the Florida Republican details how VOA broke their own “Journalistic Code” in publishing their attack on him.

“The VOA has a clear ‘Journalistic Code,’ a public statement of its alleged principles, which were clearly violated in this case, and I ask you to take down this demonstrably false “fact check” by Polygraph.info,” Rep. Gaetz wrote to Lippman. He continued: “In fact, the sources you do cite in the piece, contrary to your Journalistic Code, clearly do not have firsthand knowledge of the facts on the ground, and worse, you don’t report any disagreement here.”

Last week, Rep. Gaetz published a detailed report on the current status of American troops in the African country of Niger. The Congressman conducted multiple interviews with U.S. active-duty personnel stationed in the county who outlined the deteriorating state of equipment and resources.

“Since the U.S.-trained Nigerien coup leaders took control of the country in mid-2023, there has been a cessation of diplomatic overflights. This has left the Department of Defense unable to execute planned troop rotations, in addition to being unable to deliver critical medical supplies, equipment, and other routine materials,” Gaetz reported in his investigation into the matter.

According to the Congressman, Polygraph.info‘s published “fact check” claims there are “continuing talks” between U.S. and Niger officials, which Gaetz details as categorically false. Additionally, Gaetz informs Lippman that no one from Polygraph.info ever contacted his office regarding the “fact check.

“At root, I find it amazing that the U.S. government is paying an entity to put out misinformation about U.S. policy and labeling that propaganda outfit as a “fact checking” organization. Do better,” Gaetz concludes. The Congressman asks Lippman to respond by May 1, 2024, and remove the false Polygraph.info “fact check.”
