Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has fallen behind both Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy in the early GOP battleground state of New Hampshire, dropping to just 9 percent of the vote as former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the field.
A poll by Echelon Insights, quizzing 800 likely Republican Primary Voters, puts Chris Christie in second at 14 percent. Previously little-known Ohio businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is also in double digits at 11 percent – putting him in third place. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is polling at 7 percent, just two points behind the Florida Governor.
Donald Trump stands at 34 percent in the Granite State.
Interestingly, New Hampshire voters listed “political corruption” as their number one issue, with the cost of living in second, jobs and the economy in third, immigration in fourth, and national security fifth.
The DeSantis campaign continues to slump in both state and national polling while bleedingcash – despite multipleattempts to reboot the campaign. Seemingly unable to gain traction in the polls or raise campaign cash, DeSantis have increasingly become reliant on support from the Never Back Down SuperPAC which The National Pulse has exposed for being a hive of Never Trumpers and actual Democrats. The Echelon Insights poll is just the latest to show DeSantis being overtaken by Ramaswamy.

Bob Barker, the iconic host of America’s TV game show “The Price Is Right,” has died at the age of 99, according to his longtime publicist Roger Neal. Barker hosted the popular game show for 35 years, from 1972 to 2007, and gained a loyal following. His career spanned over half a century, starting as the host of “Truth or Consequences” in 1956, and retiring from “The Price Is Right” in 2007.
Born on December 12, 1923, in Darrington, Washington, Barker moved to a Sioux Indian reservation in Mission, South Dakota, at the age of six. After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, he attended Drury College and graduated with a degree in economics. Barker’s broadcasting career began in Florida, where he hosted his own radio program before moving to California in 1950.
Barker became the host of “The Price Is Right” in 1972, breathing life into the show and helping it become the longest-running daytime game show in TV history. He also hosted the Miss Universe and Miss America pageants for 20 years, as well as the New Year’s Day Tournament of Roses Parade.
Despite a scandal involving a former model accusing him of impropriety in 1994, Barker’s TV legacy remained strong, and he received an Emmy Award for Lifetime Achievement. He retired from television in 2007 but continued his activism for animals until his death.

The Greek government has confirmed it has arrested 79 people for arson amid a spate of devasting wildfires, suggesting that, as in Italy and Spain, the disasters are being caused by criminals rather than climate change, despite the globalist press calling such ideas a “conspiracy theory”.
“You are committing a crime against the country,” railed Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias, warning that arsonists have attempted to set a number of new fires on Mount Parnitha, which lies north-west of Athens and hosts monuments including a Byzantine monasery and several Ancient Greek fortresses.
“Arsonist scum are setting fires that threaten forests, property and, most of all, human lives,” Kikilias continued, vowing: “You will not get away with it, we will find you, you will be held accountable.”
Greece, as a European Union (EU) border state, bore the brunt of the migrant crisis in 2015, and continues to play host to many mostly African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian migrants who became stuck in the country after Germany and other westerly EU member-states grew less enthusiastic about opening their borders to all comers.
Asylum seekers disgruntled about being stuck in Greece have been known to burn down the camps where they are looked after in hopes of being moved into better accommodation or allowed to move on to another country – but officials have avoided giving any information on the background of the arsonists responsible for the current spate of blazes.
There have been cases of Greek vigilantes targeting migrants since the fires began, with one video showing a man with several Syrians and Pakistanis detained in a trailer and urging others to “round them up” or “they will burn us.”

Denmark is bringing forward legislation to criminalize burning the Islamic Quran as a form of protest, after demonstrations caused Muslims to riot and angered the Islamist Turkish government.
“The government will propose legislation that prohibits the inappropriate handling of objects with essential religious significance for a religious community,” Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard confirmed.
“The proposal will thus make it punishable to, for example, in public burn a Quran, Bible or Torah,” he added – although it is protests involving the burning of the Quran, specifically, which have been causing unrest in Denmark and especially neighboring Sweden recently.
Hummelgaard brushed off concerns that the effective reintroduction of blasphemy laws in the European Union would infringe on freedom of expression, saying: “I fundamentally believe there are more civilized ways to express one’s views than burning things.”
Many of the recent protests have been organized or inspired by Rasmus Paludan, a Danish-Swedish dual national and leader of the Stram Kurs (Hard Line) party.
Muslims responded to a Quran burning organized by Paludan over Easter 2022 in Sweden by engaging in violent riots, injuring dozens of police officers.
Several of the protests have taken place in the vicinity of Turkish embassies and consulates, infuriating the Turkish government and prompting Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to order Sweden to pass laws banning Quran burnings as a condition of approving its application for NATO.

Ukraine’s First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, as well as the Former Deputy Minister of Economy, have been accused of misappropriating UAH 62.5 million (nearly $1.7 million USD) “…during Ukrzaliznytsia’s (Ukrainian Railways) procurement of food supplies for the population in a state of war,” according to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU).
The two officials are believed to have purposefully overpaid for food and supplies via companies controlled by associates or family members who then turned around, using an intermediary company, and purchased the actual goods at fair-market-value – with the controlled company pocketing the difference. NABU notes that the government officials made no efforts to work with Ukrainian suppliers.
This isn’t the first time high ranking officials in the President Volodymyr Zelensky have used the ongoing conflict with Russia to line their pockets. Several weeks ago, Zelensky was forced to remove all regional heads of military enlistment amid an ongoing investigation into military recruitment corruption, announcing that army veterans will become responsible for drafting new troops.
The National Pulse previously reported that the decision came after accusations of corruption by way of “draft evasion” among military recruiters, who were seen to be enriching themselves at the expense of the Ukrainian armed forces. There are now 112 criminal proceedings and 33 ‘suspicions’ against enlistment office officials for their involvement in the scheme.
Recent polling indicates the Ukrainian people blame the rampant incidents of public corruption on President Zelensky directly. According to the Democratic Initiatives Foundation (DIF) and the Kyiv International Sociological Institute (KIIS), over 75 percent of Ukrainians believe Zelensky himself is to blame for increasing corruption in the government and military.

“President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is suing tech mogul Elon Musk’s SpaceX for hiring too many American workers and enough asylum seekers and refugees.

“Americans voiced their opposition to Arlington National Cemetery’s (ANC) decision to remove the Confederate Memorial during a public comment session on Wednesday.

“While former President Donald Trump was being booked and having his mugshot taken at the Fulton County jail facility, one of his primary opponents, Ron DeSantis, stood in the “Field of Dreams” in Iowa, making for a dramatic “split screen” moment where one candidate is being actively persecuted by the state, while the other – the Florida governor – plays catch on a movie set.”
“Seventeen migrants have been captured, with stunning video emerging after a boat rammed into a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Marine Unit vessel east of Jupiter Inlet in Florida on Friday morning. Florida’s Governor, Ron DeSantis, has not yet made a comment, believed to be busy campaigning for the Republican nomination in Iowa.”

Charlie Gerow – a long-time ally of Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) chairman Matt Schlapp – has now resigned from his position as Vice Chairman of CPAC’s parent organization, the American Conservative Union (ACU), as pressure continues to mount on Schlapp over his alleged sexual misconduct and financial irregularities in the group.
His resignation follows several recent resignations of other officers and directors of ACU/CPAC/ACUF, including Treasurer Bob Beauprez, who described a “cancer” metastasizing inside the once-esteemed conservative conference host, exclusivelyrevealed by The National Pulse less than three months ago.
Gerow said on Friday: “It is with deep sadness and true regret that I have joined several of my colleagues in resigning from the Board of ACU/CPAC. I have consistently exercised my fiduciary duties to the organization and always done my very best to fulfill all of my responsibilities to this very vital organization. I know I have done the right things.
“It was a great honor to serve the conservative movement in my leadership roles at CPAC/ACU/ ACUF and I will continue to pray that the difficulties they are encountering will be dealt with openly and honestly.
“Although I will not now be able to participate in the August Board meeting, I am calling on my former colleagues to authorize an independent investigation into the charges against Matt Schlapp, to conduct an independent forensic audit of the organizations finances, to obtain a written opinion of counsel that the organization is in full compliance with its own by-laws and all applicable law and to thoroughly review all the exit interviews of the large number of staff who have recently left CPAC/ACU/ACUF.”
The National Pulse has previously revealed that Schlapp has “gatekept” the CPAC stage, giving friends, allies, and benefactors more prominence and even creating a “do not invite” list that included the Trump family. Schlapp and his wife Mercedes are reported to have discussed reneging on their support for Donald Trump over his position on immigration. The National Pulse also exposed his six-figure donation from a Soros-linked fund.

A post-debate poll from Morning Consult shows former President Trump losing no ground after the declining to participate in the first Republican primary debate earlier this week. According to the poll, Trump’s position remains unchanged with 58 percent support among the Republican electorate before the debate and 58 percent support after. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis comes in a distant 2nd place with only 14 percent support – also unchanged from before the debate.
The only two candidates seeing any shift in support were tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Both candidates saw a one percent bump in support, polling at 11 percent and four percent post-debate respectively.
Morning Consult quizzed over 1,256 potential Republican primary voters, with an unweighted margin of error of up to +/-3 percentage points.
The first Republican presidential debate did nothing to change former President Donald Trump’s formidable lead over his rivals for the party’s 2024 nomination, according to our latest tracking. https://t.co/C0oLDDz4Oe#GOPDebatepic.twitter.com/hl8EvKWsAT
In Donald Trump’s absence, Ramaswamy was the candidate who appeared to garner the most press attention. The energetic debater traded barbs with nearly every candidate on stage – having especially heated exchanges with former Governor Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. At least one betting odds bookmaker has Ramaswamy now as the 2nd place favorite for the Republican presidential nomination following his debate performance.
The Morning Consult poll offers little in the way of good news for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Ramaswamy is now only three points back from over taking the Florida Governor for second place. The trend does not bode well for the Florida Governor’s campaign, withseveralpolls over the past two weeks showing the tech entrepreneur and political neophyte Ramaswamy having already pushed DeSantis out of 2nd place contention for the nomination.

Mark Thompson, the former CEO of the New York Times and Director General of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), appears to be the front-runner for the top job at CNN. The corporate media outlet has been without leadership after its chairman and CEO, Chris Licht was fired in June after only a year on the job.
Thompson has a controversial history in news rooms – including accusations that he looked the other way during the investigation into child sex abuse BBC star Jimmy Savile. While serving as Director General of the BBC, Thompson became embroiled in a scandal within a scandal, telling media at the time that he was unaware that editor of the British broadcaster’s Newsnight program had abruptly canceled an investigation into decades of sexual abuse of children by network celebrity Jimmy Savile. In the aftermath, Thompson at first claimed he was unaware of the investigation entirely – only to backtrack and admit he did know about it prior to cancellation.
His track record on news judgement isn’t much better. When a Jewish family was gruesomely murdered in their beds by Palestinians terrorists, the news dominated the British press, except at the BBC were broadcasters criticized for ignoring the story entirely. When pressed on the lack of coverage of the Fogel family’s murder in the 2011 Itamar attack, Thompson said his news editors were under tremendous pressure that day and other topics took precedence. He did however offer an apology to BBC views and the Jewish community: “But I do want to say, to all our audience including our Jewish and Israeli audiences here and around the world, we do want to make sure we are fair and impartial. We made a mistake in this instance.”
In at least one regard, CNN might feel like familiar turf for Thompson with one of their former media personalities having been dogged by a workplace sexual offense himself – albeit far less vile than Savile. In 2020, CNN legal analyst Jeffery Toobin was caught masturbating on a Zoom call with colleagues at The New Yorker magazine and New York’s WNYC radio. In the fallout from the incident, Toobin took a brief leave-of-absence from CNN. In 2022, Toobin decided to give it a rest and retired from the network.

President Biden remains on vacation in Lake Tahoe, Nevada – where he has spent much of the past week at radical environmentalist and billionaire Tom Steyer’s home. The official White House pool report from Friday says Biden arrived at Pelodog Pilates and Cycle around 11am this morning to enjoy a pilates class with his family.
It isn’t the first visit from the first family, with Pelodog’s Instagram account boasting of their visit just a few days ago. Today, when he left the pilates location, the public were scarcely supportive:
Per the Wall Street Journal‘s Annie Linskey, serving as today’s White House pool reporter, the drive from Steyer’s mansion to the pilaties studio came with “…stunning views of Lake Tahoe.”
Last month, The National Pulse reported that Joe Biden has spent 39 percent of his presidency on vacation. Biden has often been away during international or domestic emergencies, choosing, for example, to vacation during the international crisis of the fall of Kabul in August 2021.
Biden’s most recent vacation was only briefly interrupted when the President and First Lady took a day to travel to the Hawaiian island of Maui to save face after his government offered almost no public comment or support in the three weeks since wildfires ravaged the communities there – killing at least 115 people.
