Hispanic, Black, & Young Voters Are Fleeing from Joe Biden.

Joe Biden continues to lose support from critical demographics for his Democrat coalition of voters, trailing former President Donald Trump 37-39 percent ahead of the 2024 Presidential Elections, as reported by a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll. The 81-year-old incumbent President has seen a rapid decrease in support from black voters, down to 63 percent from an initial 87 percent. Whilst still a considerably higher percentage than Trump’s 12 percent, the drop-off is significant. Also concerning is Biden’s decline among young voters and Hispanic voters, with Trump now leading in these demographics at 37-33 percent and 39-34 percent respectively.

Biden’s approval numbers remain underwater, with just 29 percent of respondents perceiving the economy as in recovery.

Former President Donald Trump leads the race amongst GOP voters, outscoring Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by over 50 points. Despite current legal battles, support for Trump remains undiminished as 44 percent of respondents express fervent support for the former President. Conversely, only 18 percent of voters expressed the same enthusiasm for Biden.

Biden’s Title IX Changes Mandate Transgender Pronouns in Schools.

Last week, the Biden government announced its latest Title IX regulations, which deliver protections for gender identity, without explicitly mentioning “transgender” terminology. These rules, set to take effect on August 1, will mean all public schools risk legal and fiscal consequences if non-compliant. While not stating so outright, the regulations are viewed as enabling transgender students access to restrooms and changing rooms of their choice and would force schools to use students’ ‘preferred pronouns.’ Biden regime officials appeared to confirm these concerns in a press call with LGBTQ activists.

“These regulations make it crystal clear that no one should have to abandon their educational aspirations due to discrimination, whether it’s based on pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other sex-based factors,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said.

‘A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT WOULD BE RECOGNIZED.’

Addressing a direct question about pronoun use, another Biden official confirmed that schools could be penalized for refusing to use transgender pronouns.

“The way that we would analyze that question is to assess whether a student is experiencing a sex-based hostile environment,” the official said. “[I]f the facts meet those standards, which is if, under the totality of the circumstances, sex-based conduct that is subjectively and objectively offensive to a student and to a person in the school community and it rises to the level that it limits or denies access to education, then a hostile environment would be recognized and we would evaluate whether the school had taken sufficient steps to remedy that hostile environment.”

Critics contend these regulations infringe on First Amendment rights by mantheydating recognition of gender identity and could prove to be an issue for the Biden government in court. “There are First Amendment problems with this regulation that the agency repeatedly dismisses without addressing. This will be a problem for the Biden admin in litigation,” wrote lawyer and child advocate Julie Hamill on X (formerly Twitter).

Trump May Pocket $1.25 Billion *MORE* From Truth Social.

Former President Donald Trump could be set for a $1.25 billion windfall if his social media company Truth Social can avoid significant negative volatility over the next two days. If the shares remain at or above $17.50 until the close of trading on Tuesday, Trump is due to acquire an additional 36 million company shares. As of midmorning on Monday, shares stood slightly below $36.

According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trump Media & Technology Group–which controls Truth Social–could issue more shares to those invested in the company before its SPAC merger, including Trump himself. Awarding these shares is conditioned on the steady maintenance of an average price per share exceeding $12.50 for at least 20 of its first 30 trading days. Tuesday will mark the 20th trading day since the merger, and the share price has remained well above the stipulated figure.

If the share price stays above $17.50, 40 million additional shares will be issued. Trump, who owns most of the company’s stock, would be eligible to receive 90 percent of the newly issued certificates, which amounts to 36 million shares. At current prices, this would amount to a $1.25 billion windfall for the former President.

While Trump is currently limited in his ability to sell his shares in the Trump Media & Technology Group, the company board could lift the restrictions by a vote. This would allow the former President to tap a massive cash flow to use in his legal defense and presidential campaign.

WATCH: Alec Baldwin Appears to Assault Woman Who Asks ‘Why Did You Kill That Lady!?’

Actor Alec Baldwin, who continues to be embroiled in legal hot water over the shooting of Rust movie armorer Halyna Hutchins, appeared to lash out physically against a woman who was harassing him in a coffee shop. The video was posted by the account “Crackhead Barney & Friends” with the caption: “White devil Alec Baldwin attacked me… While I was trying to get coffeee [sic].”

In the clip, it appears as though Baldwin himself is the one trying to get coffee, while being forced to endure the shrill demands from a woman.

“One time, one time Alec… come on, Alec. Just say ‘free Palestine’ one time, just one time and I’ll leave you alone,” she says, adding, “Fuck Israel, fuck Zionism,” before Baldwin moves towards her and smacks her phone with his left hand.

Trump Trial Day 1 Summary: Here’s What Happened in the Opening Arguments…

The Manhattan-based “hush money” prosecution of former President Donald Trump got off to an abbreviated start, with the court adjourning Monday at 12:30PM ET. A juror had previously notified the judge they would have to leave for a dentist appointment early. The National Pulse will provide a rundown of highlights and essential moments after the court adjourns each day of the trial.

THE DEFENSE’S OPENING ARGUMENTS.

Todd Blanche, one of the former President’s defense attorneys, kicked off the opening arguments. The defense attorney stressed to the jury that: “President Trump is innocent. President Trump did not commit any crimes.”

The defense indicated they will focus heavily on the weakness of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s case, which relies on an underlying federal crime for which Trump has not been charged.

Addressing the prosecution’s insistence that the case is about Trump’s attempt at ‘election interference,’ Blanche told the jury: “There’s nothing wrong with trying to influence the election… It’s called democracy.” The attorney, pivoting to the prosecution playing up the nondisclosure agreement with Stormy Daniels, argued: “There’s nothing wrong with a nondisclosure agreement.”

Prosecutors objected when Blanche likened Stormy Daniels’s attention-seeking behavior as akin to extortion. Judge Juan Merchan sustained the prosecution’s objection.

The defense attorney also worked to ensure the jurors knew the truth about the prosecution’s star witness, Michael Cohen, calling the disgraced former attorney “a convicted felon,” “an admitted liar,” and “a convicted perjurer.”

THE PROSECUTION RESPONDS.

Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo, a former U.S. federal attorney who resigned his lucrative post to pursue the Trump prosecution, opted for painting a narrative of Donald Trump and Michael Cohen scheming with former National Enquirer CEO David Pecker.

Colangelo, mainly ignoring the facts of the case, told the jurors the three men “struck an agreement” during a 2015 meeting at Trump Tower in which they “conspired to influence the 2016 presidential election in three different ways.” He proceeded to content that the National Enquirer engaged in three catch-and-kill actions to head off stories that could damage the 2016 Trump presidential campaign.

The prosecution attempted to mitigate the reputational damage surrounding their star witness. Colangelo told jurors the reason why Trump’s legal team asked the court to reject Michael Cohen’s testimony was “precisely because it is so damning.”

FIRST WITNESS.

The first witness was David Pecker, the former CEO of the National Enquirer. His testimony only lasted about 20 minutes and comprised mostly biographical information before the court adjourned for the day. Pecker’s testimony will continue tomorrow.

West Prep Academy

Middle School Boots Special Needs Students to Make Way for Migrant Kids.

West Prep Academy, a New York City middle school with a significant percentage of special needs students, is planning on sending them to an unsafe 127-year-old building to make room for migrant kids. The school, in which 43 percent of students have special needs, and 90 percent are Black or Latino, shares a building with PS 145, which has been inundated with a surge in enrollment of migrant children.

“This building is not equipped to house students with special needs [or] students that don’t have any special needs — it’s not equipped, it’s 127 years old,” said Denise Johnson, a parent of a West Prep Academy sixth-grader. “The issue is we are coming from a building that is substantial, with all [the] equipment to service their students to a building that lacks resources.”

“The issue for me is the building in itself. It’s not up to par for anyone to go into learning — it looks like a jail. And I don’t think that’s something that our Black and Brown kids should be provided by based off of someone else’s decision,” Johnson added.

SMOKE SHOPS AND BUMS.

The new location to which West Prep’s special needs students are to be sent poses significant risks to student safety. It also lacks adequate access to a safe outdoor environment.

“There’s multiple doors on the floors, where the children can open and can wander around there. There are concerns in terms of outdoor space. We know that children that are part of the ASC nests program have mandated outdoor time and services that cannot be provided in that building,” said Kaliris Salas, a member of the DOE’s Panel of Educational Policy [PEP]. “And so in turn, a lot of us on the PEP are very concerned about this particular move.”

The 127-year-old facility also sits in a potentially dangerous neighborhood. “There’s smoke shops everywhere, and there’s also people outside that are bums,” said one parent.

New York City continues to struggle with the massive number of illegal aliens who have flooded the city as a result of the Biden regime’s continued failure to address the border crisis. Unfortunately, schoolchildren are often the ones paying the price. In January, students at James Madison High School were kicked out to make room for 1,900 illegal aliens.

Newsom Abortion Tourism

DEAD BABIES INC: Newsom Rushes to Boost CA’s Abortion Tourism Industry.

Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom will propose legislation designed to boost abortion tourism from neighboring Arizona. The proposed bill would provide Arizona abortionists expedited licenses in California in order to provide abortions for the influx of Arizonans expected to travel to California for the procedures.

“Arizona AG Kris Mayes identified a need to expedite the ability for Arizona abortion providers to continue to provide care to Arizonans as a way to support patients in their state seeking abortion care in California,” Brandon Richards, a spokesman for Newsom, said in a statement. If the bill passes, Arizona abortionists may be able to get approval to work in California in as little as five days.

Newsom’s move follows the Arizona Supreme Court’s upholding of an 1864 law that effectively bans all abortions in the state. The ruling has proved highly controversial, and the Biden campaign has seized on it in an effort to link former President Donald Trump to local state efforts to implement abortion restrictions.

Trump, however, has made it clear that he does not wish to enact a nationwide federal ban on abortions, arguing that the matter is one on which individual states should decide. He also cautioned Republicans on the unpopularity of total bans with voters and the risk such bans pose to Republicans’ electoral prospects.

Door Dash Uber Eats illegal aliens

Illegal Migrants Are Now Delivering Your Food. And Of Course The Media Thinks It’s Fantastic.

The Washington Post is celebrating that over ten thousand illegal aliens — mainly from Venezuela — now operate much of the U.S. capital‘s food delivery infrastructure in an article published Sunday. The newspaper ignores or de-emphasizes the impact of this cheap illegal labor pool on the economy and public safety.

Focusing primarily on the experiences of the delivery drivers who zip around Washington, D.C., on mopeds, the paper ignores the perverse incentive the cheap illegal alien labor has on companies like Uber, which have increased their ride-hail and delivery rates four times faster than inflation over the last two years. The increase in fees on consumers and reductions in driver pay have allowed the company to achieve an impressive 72 percent annual revenue growth rate.

The newspaper only gives passing mention of the safety concerns raised by local residents and the fact that almost all of the new drivers from Central and South America lack legal work permits. “As they pursue the months-long process of claiming asylum and applying for work permits, many immigrants have leaned on food delivery to stay afloat financially,” The Washington Post notes, while acknowledging that “some D.C. residents have publicly expressed frustration at what they say is erratic and unsafe behavior on the mopeds.”

Almost all the illegal alien delivery drivers in D.C. lack both driver and health insurance, and without official identifying documents, they also lack vehicle registrations — meaning they’re all operating on the streets in contravention of the law. This burgeoning illegal industry has made transiting the roadways around the nation’s capital more dangerous for residents and delivery drivers alike.

However, lawmakers at the local and national levels appear content to let the illegal delivery sector continue unabated despite its problems. Illegal and legal immigrant labor have helped the Biden government boost national employment numbers — with most of the U.S. labor force recovery driven by immigrants entering the job market. And, despite concerns that the immigrants —predominantly hailing from Venezuela — potentially have ties to the dangerous Tren de Aragua gang, the lure of increased consumption and corporate profits have incentivized Congress and the Biden government to take little action to address the border crisis.

Germany Muslim Youth

Nearly Half of Young Muslims in This Western Nation Want An Islamic Caliphate…

The Criminological Research Institute of Lower Saxony (KFN) has found that nearly half of young Muslims in Germany favor the establishment of an Islamic caliphate, and over a third have an “understanding for violence against people who insult Allah or the Prophet Muhammad.”

Amongst these grade nine students, 45.8 percent affirmed a preference for Islamic theocracy as a form of governance, according to Bild newspaper. Furthermore, 67.8 percent expressed the belief that the principles of the Quran take precedence over German laws. Over a third — 35.3 percent — proclaimed an understanding of violence towards those who insult Allah or Muhammad.

Additionally, 21.2 percent of the young Muslims polled expressed justification of violence in defense against perceived threats to Islam from the Western world.

The findings come amidst escalating anti-Semitic attacks and heightened terror threats in Europe following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel, resulting in Chancellor Olaf Scholz‘s liberal coalition government acknowledging the necessity for immigration reforms. The German government is mulling increased measures to curb illegal immigration, intensify deportations, and reduce welfare benefits for purported asylum seekers.

These challenges notwithstanding, Berlin continues to favor liberalization of German citizenship procedures and lowering labor standards to attract more immigrants. This move is consistent with the open-border policies initiated by former Chancellor Angela Merkel and sustained under Chancellor Scholz, which have profoundly altered the country’s demographics over the past 20 years.

By 2021, individuals with “migration background” — those who immigrated or had foreign-born parents — constituted over a quarter of Germany’s population, numbering a record-high 22.3 million.

Other European countries with high numbers of Muslim citizens wrestle with similar levels of extremism. A recent study in the UK found that nearly half of British Muslims sympathize with Hamas.

NEW: Unredacted Docs Reveal Biden, Garland, Jack Smith Collusion in Trump ‘Documents’ Case.

Unredacted documents published Monday have begun to reveal the extent of the Biden government’s collusion with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to “concoct a case” against President Donald Trump. The records also appear to confirm that President Trump was telling the truth when he said his team was still negotiating chain of custody with NARA when they suddenly made a criminal complaint.

Reporter Julie Kelly revealed: “Thanks to order by Judge Cannon, key evidence related to classified docs case is now unredacted. On the left: What DOJ/Jack Smith wanted to conceal. On the right: Now we know why. More proof of collaboration btw Biden White House and NARA to concoct a case.”

The documents without markings reveal a complex attempt by Biden’s Department of Justice, working hand-in-hand with the Obama-appointed National Archivist David Ferriero to cease normal ongoing negotiations with an outgoing president and instead begin a criminal investigation – something that has never happened before.

Ferriero, who resigned in 2022 while demanding Joe Biden refuse to hire a white person in his place, reportedly “ran out of patience” with the normal process of negotiating with Trump’s team for any documents that were removed during the White House transition.

This, as well as details about how the case emerged, were unredacted by Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday.

The unredacted documents prove the case was being concocted by Biden’s own White House and the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland months before the NARA criminal referral – a revelation that will rankle Biden’s campaign team which has advised the 46th President to steer clear of the topic for fear of public scrutiny.

The news follows recent Rasmussen polling that revealed most Americans now believe the cases against Trump are a “politically motivated witch-hunt” and that the 45th President is unlikely to encounter an untainted jury.

U.S. forces in Niger

U.S. Troops Forced Out in ANOTHER Humiliating Biden Diplomacy Fail.

In a win for Russia and an embarrassment to the Biden government, the U.S. military is hurriedly withdrawing over 1,000 deployed personnel from Niger. With more than $1 billion spent over a decade, the withdrawal represents another major failure for President Joe Biden and his “national security” team.

The region’s instability, amplified by alliances of local militias with international terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and ISIS, poses a significant risk to peace and counterterrorism efforts. The decision of the U.S. departure follows Niger’s recent military coup and the subsequent refusal of the nation’s leaders to cooperate with U.S. discussions regarding governance.

The African nation is instead moving towards partnerships with countries traditionally considered U.S. adversaries, focusing on Russia for security services and Iran for uranium reserve deals. In August 2023, the head of Russia’s Wagner Group mercenaries was seen in the country after its leaders requested Russian assistance.

Gen. Michael Langley, head of the U.S. military’s Africa Command, warned Congress in March about the risk of countries like Niger aligning with the Kremlin. His trip to Niger to meet with the country’s junta leadership proved futile as the nation’s joint military collaboration with the U.S. was suspended shortly afterward.

Last week, a Russian transport plane, reportedly carrying 100 Russian military trainers and a new air defense system, arrived in Niger’s capital. Russia is expanding its influence in several African countries once seen as critical to U.S. interests in the region. In March, Russia expanded a former Wagner Group base in Mali, and the Kremlin has stepped up recruitment efforts for Russia’s Africa Corps.
