Biden-Harris Send ANOTHER $125 MILLION to Ukraine.

The Biden-Harris government will send approximately $125 million in new military assistance to Ukraine, according to U.S. officials. This move comes as Washington seeks a clearer understanding of Kiev’s recent escalation of the conflict with operations now being conducted within Russian territory.

The latest military aid package includes air defense missiles, munitions for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), Javelins, a variety of other anti-armor missiles, counter-drone and counter-electronic warfare systems, 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition, vehicles, and assorted equipment. Biden and Kamala Harris are providing the equipment through presidential drawdown authority. The aid is being supplied amid ongoing Ukrainian efforts to extend their surprising offensive into Russia.

U.S. taxpayers—through the actions of the Biden-Harris government– have likely spent over $200 billion on aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded the Eastern European country in late February 2022. Former President Donald J. Trump has promised to end the conflict swiftly should he retake the White House in November’s U.S. presidential election.

It is believed that the Democratic Party’s nominee, Kamala Harris, will continue Biden’s policies toward Ukraine, providing billions of dollars more in aid. However, Harris has not released detailed policy proposals for top-election issues, including Ukraine aid.

Ukrainian forces have reportedly secured approximately 100 square kilometers (62 square miles) of territory around Kursk. Concurrently, Russian troops are making advances in eastern Ukraine near Pokrovsk, a crucial logistic center. Should Pokrovsk fall, Ukraine‘s defenses would be significantly compromised, moving Russia closer to its goal of capturing the Donetsk region. Reports indicate Russian forces are now about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from the city.

The Biden-Harris government says it recognizes Ukraine‘s intention to create a border buffer zone, but further clarity is needed on how this fits into the overall war strategy.

Here’s How RFK’s Trump Endorsement Impacts the Battleground States.

New election data released by Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio indicates that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s suspension of his independent presidential bid in around ten battleground states—and endorsement of former President Donald J. Trump—will likely boost the Republican ticket. Additionally, Fabrizio’s polling data confirms suspicions that Kennedy drew more votes from the former Republican President than from either of the Democratic Party nominees, formerly Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris.

The data, drawn from the Trump pollster’s most recent survey of battleground states, shows RFK Jr. capturing five percent of the vote in Arizona, three percent of the vote in Georgia and North Carolina, and four percent in Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In all seven states, the polling shows RFK Jr. supporters breaking by about a two-to-one ratio for former President Trump over Democratic Party nominee Kamala Harris.

In Arizona, RFK Jr. supporters break for Trump by 53 percent to Harris’s 28 percent, with 19 percent undecided. The results are a bit closer in Georgia, with Trump‘s net gain over Harris among RFK Jr. voters only being 13 percent, and in Michigan, the net gain is only two percent. In the remaining four states of North Carolina, Nevada, Pennslyvania, and Wisconsin, RFK Jr. voters break for Trump between 16 and 21 percent.

While the vote share may seem small, each of these battlegrounds could be decided on the narrowest of margins. According to the RealClearPolitics polling average for top battleground states, Trump leads Harris by just 0.2 percent in Arizona, by 1.4 percent in Nevada, by 0.2 percent in Pennsylvania, by 0.9 percent in North Carolina, and by just one percent in Georgia. Meanwhile, Harris leads Trump by one percent in Wisconsin and two percent in Michigan.

BREAKING: RFK Jr. Suspends Campaign, Backs Trump.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is suspending his 2024 presidential bid and encouraging his supporters to vote for former President Donald J. Trump. The scion of the Kennedy political clan made the announcement during a press conference in Arizona. Speculation is rife that Kennedy will join Trump at an event in the state later this evening.

“Sixten months ago in April 2023, I launched my campaign for President of the United States,” Kennedy said—thanking the hard work of his supporters, volunteers, and campaign staff. He continued, ominously stating: “In the name of ‘saving democracy’ the Democratic party set out to dismantle it.”

“Many months ago, I promised the American people I’d withdraw from the race if I became a spoiler,” Kennedy continued before announcing he was suspending his campaign and would remove his name from the ballot in about ten battleground states, encouraging his supporters to cast their ballots for former President Trump.

Kennedy’s exit and endorsement of Trump could benefit the latter in the 2024 presidential race. Election polls show a close race between Trump and Kamala Harris, and Kennedy has consistently polled between three and five points among voters. This significant slice of the electorate could put Trump over the top in November.

This week, speculation that Kennedy would exit the race hit a fever pitch following a series of public statements made by his running mate, Nicole Shanahan. Late Thursday night, the Kenendy campaign submitted paperwork withdrawing RFK Jr.’s name from the Arizona presidential ballot line.

The National Pulse reported earlier on Friday the Hollywood comedian and Kennedy supporter Rob Schneider posted a letter on X (formerly Twitter) claiming that the independent candidate would, in fact, be dropping from the race and backing former President Trump. In his letter, Scheider himself also stated he’d support Trump in November.

Earlier this month, RFK Jr. said the Democrats under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden would be “unrecognizable” to his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and father, Robert ‘Bobby’ Kennedy Sr. Meanwhile, a leaked call between Kennedy and Trump following Trump’s near-assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, revealed the former President discussing the possibility of Kennedy joining the next Trump administration, possibly with a role investigating vaccine safety.

Top RFK Backer Rob Schneider Says Kennedy Is Backing Trump — Urges America to Follow.

Comic actor and vaccine skeptic Rob Schneider, a major backer and fundraiser for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., says the independent presidential candidate will now be “supporting President Trump.” In a letter to “Fellow Robert Kennedy Jr. supporters and American Citizens,” Schneider says he will also be backing Trump now and urges the rest of the independent candidate’s base to follow suit.

“Robert Kennedy Jr. supporting President Trump is plainly this: A REJECTION OF THE AUTHORITARIAN AND SERIAL UNDEMOCRATIC ACTIONS OF THE DEMOCRAT MACHINE,” Schneider says in his letter, shared to X (formerly Twitter).

“As a fellow American Citizen and Robert Kennedy Jr. supporter, I hope that you will OPPOSE TYRANNY and join us and VOTE FOR DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!”

Kennedy has already withdrawn from the presidential race in Arizona and is expected to make a public statement about his campaign at 2 PM EST on Friday. Reports suggest he will withdraw from the race and possibly endorse Donald Trump—a move that is unconfirmed, despite Schneider’s public statement.

Schneider listed a range of Democratic offenses over recent years in his letter, including censorship, allowing males into women’s sports, inciting Trump’s near-assassination, and “tyrannical” restrictions related to COVID and vaccinations.

Trump discussed the potential of Kennedy joining his administration in a call following his shooting, possibly with a role investigating vaccine safety.

Multiple U.S. Secret Service Agents Put on Leave After Trump Shooting Fiasco.

Multiple agents with the United States Secret Service (USSS) have been placed on leave, according to the agency. The move comes as the USSS continues to investigate the July 13 attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump.

According to the USSS, at least five agents have been temporarily removed from duty—including the special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh Field Office and at least one member of Trump‘s protective detail. Over the past month, multiple members of Congress have pressed the USSS’s leadership on whether any agents had been placed on leave, removed from duty, or even fired over the attempted assassination. However, until now, the agency has refused to give a public answer as to the status of its agents.

The decision to place agents with the Pittsburgh Field Office on leave likely indicates the local agents will bear the brunt of the blame for the security failures that resulted in 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks being able to fire eight rounds at former President Trump. One struck Trump in the ear, while two other rallygoers were wounded, and Trump supporter Corey Comperatore was murdered.

The suspensions come as the USSS continues its internal investigation into the matter. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is conducting a parallel criminal investigation.

Despite the increased scrutiny of the USSS, lapses have continued even after the assassination attempt. The National Pulse reported last week that a USSS agent was caught in a secure area breastfeeding her baby with uncleared family members just prior to former President Trump speaking at a rally in North Carolina.

Meanwhile, a USSS counter-sniper warned late last month that unless serious changes are made in agency leadership, security lapses—and potential assassinations—are likely to occur in the future.

RFK Jr. Withdraws from Race in Arizona Ahead of Address to Nation.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed paperwork withdrawing from the race in Arizona, according to Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes. The move comes as Kennedy is set to make a public address at 2 PM EST on Friday, with many expecting he will withdraw from the race and endorse former President Donald J. Trump.

RFK Jr. has said the Democrats under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden would be “unrecognizable” to his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and father, Robert ‘Bobby’ Kennedy Sr. Kennedy’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, recently said the campaign is considering two options: “one is staying in, forming that new party. But we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Tim] Waltz presidency because we draw votes from Trump. Or, we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and explain to our base why we’re making this decision.”

A leaked call between Kennedy and Trump following Trump’s near-assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, shows the former president discussing the possibility of Kennedy joining a restored Trump administration, possibly with a role investigating vaccine safety.

“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump said on the possibility of Kennedy joining forces with him on Tuesday. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly, I’d be open to it,” he added.

Kennedy also praised Trump for reaching out to him, noting this is more than the Democrats, his former party, have done in 18 months.

WATCH: Mothers of Migrant Murder Victims Share Powerful Stories at Trump Border Conference.

Former President Donald J. Trump invited the mothers of Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray, both murdered by illegal aliens, to share their stories at a press conference at the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona on Thursday.

Rachel’s mother, Patty, tearfully described how her daughter, herself a mother of five children, was “brutally beaten, raped, and then stuffed into a drain pipe,” allegedly by a Salvadoran gang member almost 2,000 miles from the southern border in Maryland.

“We should be taking care of our country, our people, and the only way I believe that’s going to happen is if President Trump is reelected,” she said.

“[Trump] needs to be in office, and we need better control, and we need to stop this. We need to stop losing children, mothers, sisters, because now I get to grieve every single day,” concurred Alexis Nungaray, whose daughter Jocelyn, aged just 12, was raped, murdered, and thrown in a creek in Houston, Texas.

The Biden-Harris regime had released the suspects in the case from detention just weeks prior.

THE CHOICE. 

“The choice is simple: Kamala’s mass amnesty of criminals or President Trump’s mass deportation of criminals,” Trump said of the decision facing American voters in November.

Vice President Harris, who was supposed to tackle the “root causes” of illegal immigration under Biden but has presided over record-breaking border crossings, has previously likened U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) for its deportation work. She also opposes completing Trump’s border wall.

Speaking on illegal immigration in Arizona herself on August 10, Harris paid lip service to “strong border security”—which she has not delivered—but stressed her belief in a so-called “earned pathway to citizenship” for illegals. This could only incentivize even more illegal immigration by rewarding potentially millions of illegals who entered the country with legal status.

‘Integrity’ Award-Winning, Taxpayer-Funded Reporter Forced to Apologize For Inventing Fake Trump Story.

PBS correspondent and former NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff is retracting the false comments she made on air in which she claimed former President Donald J. Trump was purposefully hampering the Gaza ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas for political gain. Woodruff, who was covering the Democratic National Convention (DNC), claims she was referencing reports by Axios and Reuters when she stated that Trump was encouraging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to delay peace talks until after the November election.

“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the prime minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because that, it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” Woodruff said during Monday’s PBS NewsHour coverage of the DNC.

Following denials by the Trump campaign and the Israeli Prime Minister’s office, Woodruff posted a retraction and apology on X (formerly Twitter). “I want to clarify my remarks on the PBS News special on Monday night about the ongoing cease-fire talks in the Middle East,” the former NewsHour anchor said, continuing: “As I said, this was not based on my original reporting; I was referring to reports I had read, in Axios and Reuters, about former President Trump having spoken to the Israeli Prime Minister.”

“In the live TV moment, I repeated the story because I hadn’t seen later reporting that both sides denied it. This was a mistake, and I apologize for it,” Woodruff added.

PBS receives significant funding from American taxpayers through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). In the fiscal year 2024, Congress appropriated $525 million to the CPB, with $367 million subsequently being earmarked for funding public television programming. PBS has not yet issued a formal statement regarding Woodruff’s remarks or her subsequent apology.

Only One MAJOR Media Outlet Covered This Heinous New Scandal.

The corporate media largely ignored a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announcement that the Biden-Harris government created far fewer jobs than initially reported over the last 12 months. On Wednesday morning, the BLS—a government agency that provides detailed analysis of U.S. employment data—revised downward the number of jobs added to the U.S. economy by 818,000, the single largest revision in 15 years.

Despite the historic and economically concerning announcement, the news—considered damaging to Kamala Harris‘s 2024 presidential campaign—did not feature on two of the three major broadcast news networks’ evening programming. Among NBC, CBS, and ABC, only the last included the revision announcement in a brief mention during its World News Tonight program. Most broadcast networks opted to provide wall-to-wall coverage of the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC).

NINETEEN SECONDS OF COVERAGE.

ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir‘s report—lasting just 19 seconds—stated: “Newly revised jobs data showing the jobs market hasn’t been as hot as it seemed. 818,000 fewer jobs were added during the 12 months that ended in March than previously reported. This puts more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, potentially by half a percentage point next month, which could, of course, lower car loans, mortgages, and credit card rates.”

Later in the evening, the BLS revisions were mentioned a second time on ABC News Live, the network’s free live-streaming channel. The Biden-Harris government’s Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raimondo, was asked if she believes the new jobs numbers “could be a liability” for the Democratic nominee after former President Donald J. Trump hammered Harris on the revisions earlier in the day.

“First of all, I don’t believe it because I’ve never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful,” Raimondo responded, with the exasperated reporter pushing back: “It is, though, from the Bureau of Labor.”

“I’m not familiar with that,” a visibly confused and flustered Raimdo replied.

WATCH: Unhinged Pelosi Says Beating Trump is Like 1776, or U.S. Civil War.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, still known as the ‘chairman’ of the Democratic Party, launched a bizarre and violent broadside against President Trump from within the securely guarded perimeter of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday.

During a conversation with the far-left MSNBC network, Pelosi said, “We have to defeat a person who is a threat to our democracy of the kind we have not seen. At the beginning of our country, Thomas Paine said, ‘Times have found us,’ declare war, establish a new nation. Abraham Lincoln took up that charge to keep our country together years later, decades later, and now the times have found us to save our democracy. That is what we are here to do.”

It’s not the first time Pelosi has quoted Paine, though Paine did not mention declaring “war” but rather declaring independence.

Her rhetoric over the past several years, however, has been remarkably similar in her misquotation and urging America towards violence against Donald Trump and his supporters. This eventually culminated in the assassination attempt against Trump earlier this year.
