The Biden Treasury Department plans to impose over 500 new sanctions on Russia on Friday, the largest single group of sanctions the U.S. has leveled against Russia since it invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The sanctions follow a series of recent arrests and indictments targeting Russian businessmen, including the head of Russia’s second-largest bank, announced by the Justice Department on Thursday.
The White House promised significant sanctions in response to the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in an Arctic penal colony. Biden, who met with Navalny’s wife and daughter on Thursday, said the sanctions would be “against Putin, who is responsible for his death.” The Russian government maintains that Navalny died of natural causes. The new sanctions add to the thousands of others that have already been imposed on Russian officials, businessmen, banks, companies, and whole industries since the war began.

The sanctions are part of a larger effort on the part of the Biden administration to maintain its support for Ukraine in the face of Republican opposition to increased funding of the war. Republicans in Congress are largely opposed to sending any more financial aid to Ukraine, especially as the U.S. border crisis continues unabated and unaddressed.
Law enforcement in Sumter County, Florida, arrested Ricardo Agustin Lorenzo, an illegalalien hailing from Guatemala, on second-degree murder charges on April 13. Lorenzo is accused of stabbing a man to death at a Days Inn Hotel in Wildwood, Florida.
The suspect is believed to have fatally stabbed Bilder Pablo, also an illegalalien, and subsequently fled the scene. Police arrived on the scene and were able to locate Pablo. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital in Gainesville, Florida, where he died of his injuries.

After a brief manhunt, Ricardo Agustin Lorenzo was seen walking down Interstate 75 but attempted to flee when law enforcement arrived. He was quickly found hiding in a nearby wooded area. Police were able to take the illegalimmigrant and suspected murderer into custody without further incident. At this time, the motivation for the murder is not known.
Lorenzo is currently being held at the Sumter County Jail without the option for bail. In addition, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed a detainer request on Lorenzo, meaning they would take custody should he be released on bail or on the orders of a judge.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has encountered at least 145,000 illegalimmigrants from Guatemala already this fiscal year, according to data from ICE.

Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss has suffered a serious setback in her efforts to reinvent herself as an anti-woke culture warrior in the United States after her long history of promoting far-left identity politics and mass migration was exposed by journalist Steven Edginton.
Truss, the shortest-serving premier in British history, has been touring U.S. venues, including Matt Schlapp’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), claiming to be a victim of the “deep state” and touting her new book. However, as The National Pulse previously reported, she was embedded in that “deep state” for roughly a decade, campaigning against Brexit and promoting woke holidays such as ‘International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia’ in a variety of government roles, including Minister for Women and Equalities.

Omg @StevenEdginton absolutely destroyed Liz Truss, who is currently being carted around DC think tanks as a “conservative.”
She’s not one. As I’ve pointed out for years. Shame on everyone who keeps hyping her and her shitty book. https://t.co/2yBDRoZySG
Edginton, who has covered the woke takeover of the Civil Service, military, and security services under Truss and the Conservative Party extensively, called her out on this record at length in a sit-down interview, frequently leaving her floundering.
Truss, who now says legal immigration is too high, was pressed on her desire to make it even easier. She was also quizzed on her efforts to promote Antonia Romeo, a senior bureaucrat who regularly promoted Black Lives Matter as well as Non-binary Awareness Day and Trans Awareness Week.
Truss’s actions in government, as opposed to her rhetoric, align with her background as an entryist to the party from the Liberal Democrats. Asked to identify an historic Conservative Party leader other than Winston Churchill or Margaret Thatcher whom she admired, she could only come up with Javier Milei — the current, libertarian President of Argentina.

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, 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.

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-SemiteLouis 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, JoeBiden‘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 KamalaHarris. 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).

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.
Joe Biden is now just openly bashing the Bible on the campaign trail.
What's *in* the Lee Greenwood Bible?

“[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.’

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.

A group of illegalimmigrants 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 illegalaliens 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.

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.

Joe Biden is considering granting an executive action that would grant temporary legalstatus and workpermits to illegalaliens 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 illegalaliens 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.
