Vaccine Hesitancy Rises Among Pregnant Women.

There is growing resistance and hesitancy amongst pregnant women to get vaccinated, against the backdrop of four vaccines being recommended for them, this winter, for the first time.

A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found almost a quarter of pregnant women were “very hesitant” about getting a flu shot, compared to 17.2 percent during the previous flu season.

The CDC recommends pregnant women get the flu, COVID-19, pertussis, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines, with the medical establishment insisting vaccination protects expectant mothers and passes antibodies to their babies.

The vaccine push comes as Pfizer, one of the preeminent multinational pharmaceutical companies, is laying off staff and cutting costs by roughly a billion dollars, with revenues having halved since the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

Bird Flu Found in Pasteurized Milk.

Pasteurized milk from cows infected with bird flu has tested positive for the virus. The troubling disclosure from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) follows the discovery of the virus in dairy cows in at least eight states, infecting 33 herds so far. FDA and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) officials previously asserted that milk from affected cattle would not enter the commercial supply. The FDA maintains that no risk is posed to consumers as the found material was inactivated.

To date, only two people in the U.S. have contracted bird flu, both in close contact with infected animals, one being a dairy worker in Texas, and the other a prison inmate in Colorado in 2022. Both cases were mild and recovery was swift.

The exact quantity of tested samples has not been revealed by the FDA nor where they were acquired. Testing has been conducted on milk during processing and from grocery stores. The agency anticipates additional test results in the coming weeks.

The FDA used a PCR lab test that detects viral genetic material even after a virus has been killed through pasteurization. Lee-Ann Jaykus, an emeritus food microbiologist and virologist at North Carolina State University, said there has been no evidence of an infectious virus yet.

In addition to dairy cattle, bird flu outbreaks have also hit chickens, with Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., the nation’s largest producer of fresh chicken eggs, experiencing an outbreak in one of its Texas production facilities. Scientists have warned that a bird flu outbreak could be ‘100 times worse’ than COVID. Earlier this month it was revealed that U.S. tax dollars are being spent on research in China intended to make a highly transmissible version of bird flu.

Miguel Hernandez-Ruiz

Illegal Charged with Sexually Assaulting 2 Pre-Teen Girls.

Miguel Hernandez-Ruiz, an illegal alien from Mexico, was charged with a first-degree home invasion and two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person under the age of 13. The alleged assault occurred on March 20 in the Sweet Lake Mobile Home Park, Sturgis, Michigan.

Investigators determined the Mexican had victimized two pre-teen girls. He was captured in early April in Fort Wayne, Indiana, following a manhunt. He initially resisted extradition to the Wolverine State but was ultimately charged in St. Joseph County.

Hernandez-Ruiz entered the United States on an H-2A agricultural visa in August 2021 but became unlawfully present when he remained in the country after its expiration.

The St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Office says Hernandez-Ruiz is subject to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer ahead of a court appearance on April 30.

Local judges and law enforcement frequently ignore such detainers. The National Pulse has described several serious criminals who were able to victimize the public or left at large for an extended period after detainers were not honored in its regular migrant crime round-ups.

These include pedophiles from Brazil, Colombia, and India, who were all left at large for months after ICE detainers were ignored.

Cora Masters Barry Farrakhan

Farrakhan Fangirl Welcomed Back At White House Despite Supposed Ban.

Visitor logs reveal Cora Masters Barry, a Washington, D.C., city official, has visited the White House on at least two occasions after the Biden government claimed she had been banned for praising anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. In mid-2022, Barry—who serves as the CEO of the city’s Recreation Wish List Committee—lauded Farrakhan, calling him a “friend,” and “member of the family,” adding, “I love you more than words will ever say.”

In response to the remarks, Joe Biden‘s deputy press secretary, Andrew Bates, said the capital city official would no longer be welcomed back at the White House. “The president has unequivocally condemned Louis Farrakhan and the hate he represents for decades and co-sponsored bipartisan legislation doing so,” Bates told Fox News in October of 2022. He added: “He also denounces any praise of Louis Farrakhan or his repugnant, antisemitic values, including in this case.”

TWO VISITS DESPITE BAN.

Despite the ban, the official visitor logs—which document individuals who attend official meetings and events at the White House—indicate Cora Masters Barry was welcomed back to the White House on at least two occasions, in June and December 2023. In June 2023, Barry attended a Juneteenth event on the White House lawn, which featured remarks from both Biden and Kamala Harris. The December 2023 event appears to be an evening reception attended by one hundred or more other individuals.

Cora Masters Barry is the widow of Marion Barry, who served as the mayor of Washington, D.C., from 1979 to 1991 and again from 1995 to 1999. In an infamous incident in 1990, Barry was arrested during an FBI sting after being caught on a hidden camera smoking crack cocaine with a prostitute. In the video of his arrest, Barry could be heard repeatedly muttering, “Bitch set me up.”

WHITE HOUSE’S FARRAKHAN PROBLEM.

This isn’t the first Farrakhan-connected individual to have been a frequent guest at the White House or to have influence in the Biden government. The National Pulse reported in late March that a Washington, D.C. environmentalist nonprofit, whose staff has ties to Farrakhan, has made numerous White House visits. In addition, the group’s CEO, Lennox Yearwood, has received public praise from Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Biden ‘Blesses’ Abortion, Openly Bashes Bible: ‘What the Hell Is In It?’

President Joe Biden appeared to bless abortions with the sign of the Cross, as well as mock the Bible in Florida on Tuesday. Christians expressed outrage after the incidents and questioned Biden’s claimed Catholic faith.

While Biden was being introduced to campaign volunteers in Tampa, Florida Democratic Party chairwoman Nikki Fried began discussing state abortion policy. Biden crossed himself ostentatiously during the remarks.

“His gesture openly mocks the Christian belief in the sanctity of life. There is no divine support for destroying the lives of innocent children, and he should know better,” said Brian Burch, President of CatholicVote, of the incident.

At a ‘Restore Roe’ rally the same day, the Democrat also mocked Lee Greenwood’s Trump-endorsed ‘God Bless the USA’ series of Bibles.

“[Trump] said there has to be punishment for women exercising their reproductive freedom… maybe it’s coming from that Bible he’s trying to sell. I almost wanted to buy one just to see what the hell is in it,” Biden jeered.

The ‘God Bless the USA’ Bibles include the King James Version of the Bible and the text of the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus to Greenwood’s ‘God Bless The USA.’

Democrat Governors Are Enabling Election Fraudsters.

Despite widespread allegations, investigations, and convictions related to electoral fraud, Democratic governors in Arizona, North Carolina, and Wisconsin have recently vetoed election integrity measures passed by Republican-majority state legislatures. These governors argue that the proposed bills, crafted to address proven concerns, are unnecessary.

Arizona‘s Gov. Katie Hobbs (D), for example, vetoed legislation to prevent offenders found guilty of ballot abuse from holding public offices. This came after San Luis’ former City Councilwoman’s conviction for the same offense. The legislation also sought to curb county recorders from issuing voter registration cards to most out-of-state residents.

Earlier this year, the Public Interest Legal Foundation reported that over 400 non-citizens had been removed from voter rolls in two Arizona counties since 2015, suggesting a high number of non-citizen voters.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) vetoed two bills designed to tighten restrictions for casting and collecting nursing home residents’ absentee ballots. These bills were introduced due to a surge in nursing home voting during the COVID-19 pandemic. A report by retired state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman highlighted exceedingly high voter turnout rates in several nursing homes in Wisconsin counties, far surpassing national averages.

North Carolina Democratic Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of the GOP-initiated Senate Bill 747, preventing the use of private funds in election administration, was overridden by the state’s Republican-led legislature.

These recent actions by Democratic governors raise questions over their dedication to ensuring election integrity. Critics argue their actions may, in fact, be intended to help facilitate voter fraud.

Illegals Sent By DeSantis to Martha’s Vineyard Received ‘Victim Visas’ (Apparently That’s a Thing).

A group of illegal immigrants flown to Martha’s Vinyard by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has received a special visa — and accompanying work permit —reserved for those who have been the victims of a crime. The illegals received a U-visa, which opens a pathway to potential permanent legal status.

Rachel Self, an attorney representing the illegals, says DeSantis duped her clients into boarding chartered flights from Texas. She claims they boarded the planes under the pretense they would receive jobs upon arrival in Massachusetts. Sheriff Javier Salazar from Bexar County, Texas, backed the visa push by Self and her clients. A Democrat, Salazar launched a criminal probe into the flights in late 2022. The sheriff alleges the illegal aliens were “exploited and hoodwinked into making this trip.”

At the time, DeSantis pushed back against Salazar’s accusations that the illegal immigrants were exploited. The Florida Governor’s office insisted the illegals voluntarily agreed to take the flights.

The United States Congress only permits the federal government to issue 10,000 U-visas annually. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the visas are ostensibly granted to the “victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are helpful to law enforcement or government officials in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity.”

No charges have ever been announced through the Bexar County investigation. However, the illegals were granted permission by a federal judge in Boston to bring a lawsuit against Florida-based company Vertol Systems Co., which managed the flights.

Biden Planned Parenthood

‘Catholic’ Biden Handed $700M to Planned Parenthood in One Year, Fueling Record Abortions.

The federal government granted nearly $700 million to Planned Parenthood during an annual period where the organization performed almost 400,000 abortions.

According to its “Above and Beyond” Annual Report, during its 2022-2023 year, ending June 30, 2023, Planned Parenthood received $699.3 million in government grants and ‘health services’ reimbursements. From 2022 to 2023, the organization performed 392,715 abortions, an increase over the 392,715 abortions it performed between 2021 and 2022.

The rise in abortions happened in conjunction with a decline in all other major services provided by the clinic.

The report also noted that “Demand at Planned Parenthood health centers in states where abortion is protected has soared by up to 700%,” suggesting that the organization is profiting from ‘abortion tourism’ as other states take measures to protect life following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Within 2023, over two dozen Planned Parenthood affiliates assisted more than 33,000 women in receiving abortions through financial and transportation assistance.

“Planned Parenthood’s annual report illustrates their priorities,” said Tessa Longbons Cox, senior researcher at Charlotte Lozier Institute. “Ultimately, they are an abortion business. It’s no surprise that even as total patients and services fell from the previous year, profits soared and Planned Parenthood performed more abortions than ever.”

Last month, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sued Planned Parenthood for “trafficking minors” across state lines to get abortions without parental consent. The controversial organization was also hit with fresh allegations that it sold body parts of aborted babies for profit.

Biden Border

Biden Mulls Work Permits For Illegals in Bizarre Hispanic Outreach Effort.

Joe Biden is considering granting an executive action that would grant temporary legal status and work permits to illegal aliens in the United States, particularly those married to American citizens. National Democrat leaders, pushing the White House to action, believe the move could help push Hispanic voters to support Biden ahead of November’s presidential election.

Progressive lawmakers on Capitol Hill want Biden to pair the expanded work permits and legal status with any potential executive action to stymie the unchecked flow of illegals at the southern border. They contend that combining the two policy changes could help soften blowback from progressive and pro-open border voters should the Biden government try and enact more restrictive border policies.

Lagging behind former President Donald Trump in 2024 election polls, Biden has signaled — and subsequently backed down — on several occasions that he may use his authority as President to block illegal aliens from entering the United States if the number of crossings reaches a certain threshold. Some Democrats and progressive activists have criticized the Democratic incumbent for even considering the border policy change.

While some Democrats believe granting temporary legal status and work permits to the illegal alien spouses of U.S. citizens will help Biden with Hispanic voters, polling data continues to suggest otherwise. The National Pulse has reported on numerous national polls that show Hispanic voters, by and large, oppose Biden’s current open borders policy.

Additionally, Hispanic voters increasingly say they support the use of the term “illegal immigrant” to describe unauthorized border crossers. Support for mass deportation of illegal aliens — especially those who commit crimes — is also on the rise with Hispanic voters.

WATCH: Trump’s Plan to Retake Colleges From ‘Marxist Maniacs & Lunatics.’

Donald Trump has unveiled a series of policies aimed at driving “the radical left” out of America’s “once great educational institutions,” revealing that his “secret weapon will be the college accreditation system.”

Noting that the cost of tuition has been “absolutely exploding” while academics have wasted funds on “indoctrinating America’s youth,” Trump said higher education accreditors “are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers, but they have failed totally.”

WATCH:

“When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics,” he vowed.

New accreditors will “impose real standards,” including “defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions… [and] removing all Marxist Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion bureaucrats,” he said.

On Tuesday it was revealed that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s key surrogates are now jockeying for positions in the Trump administration, including Education Secretary.

UK Pledges Additional $620 Million for Ukraine.

The United Kingdom pledged an additional $620 million in military aid for Ukraine on Tuesday, including over four million rounds of ammunition and long-range missiles. The aid follows the passage of a $61 billion package for Ukraine in the U.S. House of Representatives and comes as Russia is stepping up its advances on Ukraine’s eastern front following significant battlefield victories earlier this year.

The office of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Tuesday morning to confirm the aid, before traveling to Warsaw to discuss even more aid with Poland’s globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Sunak assured the “U.K.’s steadfast support” for what his office described as “Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s brutal and expansionist ambitions.”

The $620 million aid package includes 400 vehicles, 60 boats, 1,600 munitions, and four million rounds of ammunition. The UK will also send Storm Shadow long-range missiles as part of the shipment.

Even with further aid from the UK and the U.S., a Ukrainian victory in its war with Russia is far from guaranteed. U.S. Senator J.D. Vance pointed out that Ukraine needs more munitions and soldiers than it could possibly field to defeat Russia. Regional experts have said the “writing is on the wall” for Ukraine, and even NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg predicted Ukraine might have to “compromise” with Russia in order to achieve piece.
