Geert Wilders’ Rightwing PVV Surges in Dutch Polls Ahead of October Vote – Teenage Girl’s Murder by ‘Asylum Seeker’ Puts Immigration Policies at the Center of Political Debate

Published

Once a marginal figure, Geert Wilders is today the leader of largest and most consequential party.

Wilders appears to be heading to his second consecutive electoral victory in the Netherlands.

Geert Wilders took his PVV (Freedom Party) to a spectacular victory in the last elections in the Netherlands, which took place in November 2023.

The Dutch political system being what it is, the present ruling coalition was only negotiated in May 2024 and took office in July 2024.

In the meantime, the Dutch political establishment enacted the unacceptable ‘firewall’ tactics against Wilders – other parties only accepted a coalition with the PVV if the right-wing blonde firebrand was not the Prime Minister.

During its short term, the government led by former intel chief Dick Schoof failed to address the issues that led the PVV to his victory – especially the scourge of unchecked mass migration.

So, Wilders left the coalition, and a snap vote was called.

Now, about two months before the new vote, the Party for Freedom (PVV) is again topping the opinion polls, in the wake of yet another tragic murder where a Dutch teenage girl was killed by an illegal migrant.

The Gazette reported:

“The PVV, founded and led by right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders, is leading public opinion surveys, with the next parliamentary election due in October, according to Dutch media.

If the election were held today, PVV candidates would be projected to win 33 seats out of the 150-seat legislature, a significant advantage over the left-wing GroenLinks-PvdA party’s projected 26 seats.”

“Anti-immigration sentiment has flared up following the murder of a 17-year-old girl named Lisa in Amsterdam, a national scandal that has fomented anxiety and anger in a country known for its generous immigration policies.

Lisa, who was reportedly cycling home following a night out, was stabbed to death by a 22-year-old asylum-seeker. She was allegedly stabbed multiple times in the neck as she attempted to call the authorities. Emergency responders arrived too late, and she was found dead.

Police say that the same asylum-seeker is believed to have attacked and sexually assaulted a separate woman in Amsterdam just five days prior.”

President Trump on Friday signed an executive order authorizing pay for TSA agents amid the Schumer shutdown.

Major airports across the US are experiencing delays due to TSA staffing issues.

President Trump deployed ICE agents to airports across the country to help travelers swiftly get through security lines after Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

On Thursday evening, Trump announced he has instructed the Department of Homeland Security to pay the TSA Agents.

Trump said he will sign an order instructing DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin to pay TSA agents.

“The Radical Left Democrats, and their “Leader,” Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, have made it very clear where they stand, and that is, ON THE SIDE OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS, AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

“They are refusing to fund Immigration Enforcement unless the Republicans agree to their Open Border Policies, which will never, ever happen again. They almost destroyed our Country, allowing 25 Million People to enter from Prisons, Mental Institutions, and Insane Asylums, those that are Drug Dealers, and thousands of Murderers, many of whom killed more than one person. Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do!” Trump said.

“Therefore, I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports. It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it! I want to thank our hardworking TSA Agents and also, ICE, for the incredible help they have given us at the Airports. I will not allow the Radical Left Democrats to hold our Country hostage any longer. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said on Thursday afternoon,” Trump added.

President Trump on Friday signed the order authorizing pay for TSA agents.

Later Friday, President Trump called on the Republicans to nuke the filibuster.

“The Republicans should TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and VOTE! Haven’t they had enough of this nonsense from the Radical Left Lunatics that are looking to destroy our Country? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said.

Pentagon Will Redirect Weapons Meant for Ukraine to the Middle East

Department of War may have to prioritize the conflict in the Middle East over the never-ending war in Ukraine

Too many wars, not enough weapons and munitions.

The military operation in Iran has started affecting supplies ‌of the US military’s critical munitions, leading the Department of War to evaluate whether to redirect weapons that were originally meant for Ukraine to ​the Middle East.

Reuters reported:

“The weapons ​that could be redirected include air defense interceptor missiles ​purchased through a NATO initiative launched last year, under ⁠which partner countries buy U.S. arms for Kyiv, the ​report said.

The consideration comes as U.S. operations in the region intensify. ​Admiral Brad Cooper, the Central Command chief leading U.S. forces in the Middle East, said on Wednesday the U.S. had hit over 10,000 ​targets inside Iran and was on track to limit Iran’s ​ability to project power outside its borders.”

The ⁠Defense Department wants to ensure that US forces in the Middle East, as well as its allies, ‘have what they need to fight and win’.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte did not answer questions regarding the Pentagon’s plans.

Euronews reported:

“Rutte said it was not his place to comment on critical support, but assured that essential military equipment ‘continues to flow’ to Ukraine, alongside military intelligence from the US.

Ukrainian officials have openly voiced concerns that Washington’s attention and resources have been more focused on the Middle East.

These fears have been echoed by the European leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron said at the end of last week’s EU summit in Brussels that the Iran war ‘must not divert our attention from the support we give Ukraine’.”

The Pentagon has notified the US Congress that it will divert about $750 million in funding to ‘restock the US military’s own inventories, rather than to send additional assistance to Ukraine’.

HOUSE GOP STRIKES BACK: Furious Republicans Move to ADD ICE Funding and Voter ID to Senate’s DHS Garbage Deal With Democrats — Will Force ‘Cowardly Senators’ Back to D.C.

House Republicans are done playing games with the Senate’s latest RINO surrender.

In the early hours of Friday morning, the Senate, reportedly with only five senators present, passed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding package by voice vote.

But there was a catch.

The bill conveniently excluded full funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and key components of Customs and Border Protection, the very agencies responsible for immigration enforcement, deportation operations, and cracking down on criminal illegal alien activity, including drug and sex trafficking.

Thune left D.C. immediately following the betrayal, reportedly escorted by a private detail for a two-week Easter recess.

The House Freedom Caucus and MAGA patriots aren’t letting this surrender stand. Republicans in the House are already moving to amend the Senate’s pathetic offering, intending to force the Senate to actually do its job.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) announced that the House Republicans will amend the garbage deal, restoring funding for ICE and adding a voter ID requirement.

Rep. Ogles: “So what the Senate did last night was they passed a bill that did not fully fund the government, meaning child sex trafficking investigation unit isn’t funded. They didn’t fully fund Homeland Security. So we’re focused on amending the bill and putting that back in, and we’re going to add in voter ID in the process. They’re cowardly. They didn’t do their job, and now they left town. They should come back and they should have to do their job.”

WATCH:

According to NOTUS, House Speaker Mike Johnson is preparing to put a 60-day continuing resolution (CR) on the floor this weekend.

This CR would fund all of DHS, including the critical ICE operations the Senate tried to kill.

Majority Whip Tom Emmer reportedly informed members that President Trump has given the “go-ahead” to pursue this strategy to protect the homeland.
