Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, still known as the ‘chairman’ of the Democratic Party, launched a bizarre and violent broadside against President Trump from within the securely guarded perimeter of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday.
During a conversation with the far-left MSNBC network, Pelosi said, “We have to defeat a person who is a threat to our democracy of the kind we have not seen. At the beginning of our country, Thomas Paine said, ‘Times have found us,’ declare war, establish a new nation. Abraham Lincoln took up that charge to keep our country together years later, decades later, and now the times have found us to save our democracy. That is what we are here to do.”
It’s not the first time Pelosi has quoted Paine, though Paine did not mention declaring “war” but rather declaring independence.
Her rhetoric over the past several years, however, has been remarkably similar in her misquotation and urging America towards violence against Donald Trump and his supporters. This eventually culminated in the assassination attempt against Trump earlier this year.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Members of Parliament (MPs) for Britain’s ruling Labour Party have flocked to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to court Kamala Harris. Unlike Nigel Farage, who was ruthlessly attacked for visiting Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention (RNC) after he was shot, they have not received similar media criticism for “abandoning” their voters.
Labour Party general secretary David Evans and several MPs, including Lucy Rigby and Mike Tapp, are part of a delegation that traveled to Chicago, allegedly to compare election strategies with the Democrats. In July, Reform Party leader Nigel Farage, the MP for Clacton-on-Sea, visited Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention (RNC), but unlike the Labour MPs at the DNC, he was blasted by British journalists for leaving the country.
For instance, Emily Maitlis, a former BBC host, questioned why Farage, a longtime ally of former President Donald J. Trump, was at the event. “At one point, you said you wouldn’t be running in Clacton because you wanted to give your time to the U.S., but now you are the new Clacton MP and are here in the U.S. just two weeks after being elected—because this feels more exciting?” she jeered.
Farage said he was there as Trump had been shot just days prior, explaining he was supporting his friend.
Corporate media and Labour supporters alike are also trying to paint the recent, sometimes violent anti-mass migration protests and counter-protests in Britain to Farage, despite him publicly condemning any violence.
Disgraced former British spy and Russia hoax dossier pusher Christopher Steele has said British spy agencies will be targeting both Farage and anti-mass migration activist Tommy Robinson following the protests.

Former President Donald J. Trump has vowed to rehire every military veteran fired for declining to comply with the Biden-Harris regime’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate with an apology from the government and full back pay. He made the promise at a rally in Asheboro, North Carolina, alongside his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance—his first outdoor event since his near-assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“Kamala and Crooked Joe purged 8,000 servicemembers from our military for refusing their Covid vaccine mandate,” Trump said.
“[The Trump administration] didn’t want a mandate… You just can’t do that,” he continued, vowing: “I will rehire every patriot who was fired from the military with an apology and with back pay. They will get their back pay and an apology from our government,” he promised.
“Hopefully, they have great jobs right now, and they’re making a lot of money, but if they want to come back in, they get an apology, and we sign them up, and they get their back pay… The mandate stuff should have never happened,” he lamented.
“Thanks to Comrade Kamala and Joe Biden, morale in our military is now so low that almost every single branch is suffering a major recruitment and retention crisis,” he observed.
The Biden-Harris regime also imposed vaccine mandates on federal government employees generally, federal contractors, and healthcare workers at facilities in receipt of Medicare and Medicaid funding.

Kamala Harris will theme her 2024 Democratic Party presidential nomination acceptance speech around a “New Way Forward”—a reference to far-left immigration legislation pushed by Representative Chuy García (D-IL). The radical immigration legislation would make it nearly impossible for federal officials to control the U.S. borders and could result in an exponential increase in illegalimmigration.
The New Way Forward Act, first introduced by Rep. García in 2019 and in each subsequent Congress, contains provisions that would change penalties for illegallycrossing U.S. borders from criminal to merely civil.
Additionally, the legislation—also backed by far-left progressives like Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)—prohibits local and state law enforcement from aiding in or participating with the transportation, apprehension, investigation, or detention of illegalimmigrants.
The New Way Forward Act would also close privately-owned detention centers, leaving federal-owned facilities overwhelmed. This would force government officials to release tens of thousands of illegalimmigrants who could otherwise have been housed at a private facility.
Even more concerning, the bill would allow violentcriminals to file for asylum status, changing the law to bar only those with felony sentences of five years or more. Lastly, the New Way Forward Act would grant immigration judges unprecedented discretion in deportation cases and bar officials under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from basing an immigration status investigation on an individual’s proficiency in English, national origin, or race and ethnicity.
The New Way Forward Act also contains retroactive relief provisions, meaning dangerous criminals already removed from the U.S.—but who would qualify for asylum under the bill—can reapply. It even directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to fly many of these individuals back to America for their appeals.
FORESHADOWING.
By framing her acceptance of the Democratic Party’s nomination around Rep. García‘s legislation, Harris is signaling that she intends to align U.S. border policy with the goals of the far-left progressives on Capitol Hill. As a senator, she compared U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
Harris’s embrace of the New Way Forward theme indicates her White House would make a radical break with even the Biden government’s border policies—which have seen a record number of illegal border crossings.
The National Pulse previously reported that at least 12.5 million illegal immigrants—according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)—have entered the country under Biden’s watch.
While the actual number of illegal entries is likely much higher than this government estimate, under Harris‘s ‘New Way Forward’ immigration agenda the number of illegalimmigrants crossing the border could reach unprecedented levels.

Alexander ‘Shabbos’ Kestenbaum — Jewish activist who was given a prime speaking slot at the Republican National Convention and a front row seat to a Donald Trump speech just last week — is now at the Democratic National Convention touting himself as a “pro-Israel Democrat” seeking to “restore the soul” of what he calls “our party.”
The self-confessed former Bernie Sanders voter criticized the Democrats at the RNC and said he was “proud to support President Trump‘s policies,” adding: “Let’s elect a president who will instill patriotism in our schools once again. Let’s elect a president who will confront terrorism and its supporters once again. Let’s elect a president who recognizes that, although Harvard and the Ivy Leagues have long abandoned the United States of America, the Jewish people never will, because Jewish values are American values, and American values are Jewish values!”
Tellingly, however, he did not explicitly state that this president should be Donald Trump, despite his cheering GOP audience inferring that this was his view. Kestenbaum was even invited by Trump’s campaign team to sit in the front row at an event with the 45th President just last week.
Tonight, I was invited to sit front row as President Trump laid out a new policy: colleges that violate federal law by discriminating against Jewish students will immediately lose their accreditation. This is a bipartisan, common-sense idea that both candidates should endorse pic.twitter.com/LAuRzJ6flP
Now, it appears they were hoodwinked, with Kestenbaum posting a picture of himself at the Democratic National Convention wearing an “I’m a pro-Israel Democrat” badge.
“Let me also add that as a visibly Jewish person crying as I was recording this, numerous delegates came up to me after, saying they stand with the Jewish people,” Kestenbaum wrote under the picture, referring to a recording of some DNC attendees chanting “Bring them home” in reference to Jewish-American hostages in Gaza. “I have had serious disillusionments with Dems, but am confident we can one day restore the soul of our party together,” he added.
The GOP officials who invited Kestenbaum to speak at the RNC should have known he was using them, as he made his intentions clear prior to his RNC appearance in an interview with Jewish news outlet The Forward.
“I don’t support the Republican Party. There are progressive policy positions that I really believe in, like the Green New Deal, like a $15 minimum wage, like universal health care. These are certainly positions that are contrary to the Republican Party,” he said.
“I don’t support the Republican Party, but if they’re going to provide me a platform and an opportunity to speak about my lived experiences, then of course I will take it,” he added.
At the time, he claimed the Democratic Party “has become ideologically poisoned, and it is this poison, it is this corruption, that is infecting far too many young Americans… Far left antisemitic extremism has no virtue, and the radicalism on our campuses and on our streets has no moral legitimacy.”
Now, Kestenbaum claims: “I have had serious disillusionments with Dems, but am confident we can one day restore the soul of our party together.”
The RNC was organised by the Republican National Committee’s executive branch in Washington, D.C., led by Chris LaCivita and Michael Whatley.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) ordered the execution of a series of search warrants across three counties in the state as part of a two-year investigation into allegations of voter fraud and ballot harvesting. According to Paxton’s office, the raids stem from several undercover operations aimed at an organization believed to be registering noncitizens to vote.
“I am launching an investigation into reports that organizations in Texas are illegally registering noncitizens to vote,” the Texas AG said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) after announcing the raids. “Texans are deeply troubled by the possibility that organizations purporting to assist with voter registration are illegally registering noncitizens to vote in our elections,” he added.

— Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX) August 21, 2024
“My office is investigating every credible report we receive regarding potential criminal activity that could compromise the integrity of our elections,” Paxton continued. “The Biden-Harris Administration has intentionally flooded our country with illegalaliens, and without proper safeguards, foreign nationals can illegally influence elections at the local, state, and national level.”
The investigation found that several nonprofit groups had set up booths outside Texas Department of Public Safety Driver License offices, ostensibly offering to register voters. However, Paxton‘s office notes that Texas already offers voter registration when citizens file applications to obtain or renew a driver’s license.
Under Texas state law, lying about one’s citizenship status when registering to vote is a crime. Violators can receive up to two years in prison and be forced to pay up to a $10,000 fine. Additionally, it is illegal to aid a noncitizen in registering to vote, and those convicted of such an action can also be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison and be required to pay a $10,000 fine.

Former President Donald J. Trump sat down with Theo Von—who boasts one of the most listened-to podcasts in the U.S.—to discuss a wide range of issues facing the country. However, one moment stood out: Von—himself in addiction recovery—and Trump discussing the former president‘s late brother Fred, his struggles with alcoholism, and what Trump learned from the man he admired.
The exchange shows a side of Trump few on the political left want to acknowledge: a man sincerely in tune with the struggles faced by countless Americans every day. “I don’t drink or smoke,” Trump told Von after the latter mentioned he had never seen him take a drink at a campaign event. Trump explained: “I had a great brother who taught me a lesson: don’t drink. Don’t drink, and he said don’t smoke.”
Fred Trump, the older brother of former President Trump, struggled with alcoholism and ultimately succumbed to it in 1981. Speaking with Von, Trump explained his love and admiration for his older brother—despite his struggles—describing him as a “great” and “handsome” guy who was full of “wisdom” and had “a great personality.”
“He had a problem with alcohol and smoked a lot,” Trump told Von, adding that he now tells people, “no drugs, no drinking, no cigarettes. I tell that to my kids all of the time.”
‘A VERY COMMON STORY.’
Trump lamented that, like his brother, many Americans struggle with addiction. “You know, this is not unique; this is a very common story, unfortunately,” Trump said. He explained the importance of discussing the issues of substance abuse and addiction publicly as it often serves to help others. Trump added that it is worth the personal pain, even if it brings clarity to just one other person.
Von, thanking Trump for his openness, noted that many of his listeners have or still struggle with addiction and other issues and that his podcast makes it a point to address these problems and bring hope of recovery. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates upwards of 178,000 Americans die from excessive alcohol use each year. Additionally, it estimates nearly 20 percent of Americans aged 12 or older struggle with substance abuse.

Media sources claim that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to end his presidential bid as an independent by the end of the week and could be looking to endorse former President Donald J. Trump. Speculation began yesterday after Kennedy’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, suggested in a podcast interview that the independent candidate was weighing both exiting the race and backing Trump over Kamala Harris.
ABC News reported on Wednesday, August 21, that sources familiar with the RFK Jr. campaign confirmed that Kennedy would be exiting the presidential race as early as the end of the week. While he is leaning toward an endorsement of Trump, he has not finalized his decision. Both Kennedy and Trump are slated to appear in Phoenix, Arizona, on Friday.
The claim follows revelations that Kennedy’s campaign is reportedly running low on funds. Federal Election Commission filings suggest that the campaign is almost broke and spent more money in July than it was able to raise in donations. Kennedy was also excluded from presidential debates and denied ballot access by several states, including New York, where a judge refused to recognize the address on his petitions as his legitimate home.
Last month, RFK Jr. spoke with former President Trump shortly after Trump had been shot by would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks and discussed childhood vaccines, a topic about which RFK Jr. has expressed skepticism. When the call was leaked by RFK Jr’s son, he apologized directly to Trump, saying he should have told the videographer with him to stop filming.
The National Pulse reported earlier today that Trump would be open to having RFK Jr. serve in his administration, saying: “He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time.”

Former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, headlined the second night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois. While introducing her husband, however, former First Lady Michelle Obama inadvertently exposed her own family’s hypocrisy by playing up her ‘humble’ roots.
“You see, my mom—in her steady, quiet way—lived out that striving sense of home every single day of her life. She believed that all children and all people have value. That anyone can succeed if given the opportunity,” Mrs. Obama said—repeating many of the aspirational themes that are a signature of the Obamas‘ political rhetoric.
However, she then added: “She and my father didn’t aspire to be wealthy. In fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed.”
“They understood it wasn’t enough for their kids to thrive if everyone else around us was drowning,” she concluded.
Yet, there may be no better example in American politics of a family taking “more than they needed” than the Obama family. Barack and Michelle Obama own three homes—one in Chicago, one in Washington, D.C., and one in Martha’s Vineyard—with a net worth of over $160 million. In addition, through an agreement with the chairwoman of the Obama Foundation, they also control an oceanfront residential property in Hawaii.
However, “taking more than they needed” goes beyond the Obamas‘ real estate portfolio. Last year, Michelle Obama was paid approximately $750,000 for just a one-hour speech in Germany addressing diversity and inclusion issues. A speech from former President Barack Obama can set an organization or event back by nearly $400,000 to $500,000.
Meanwhile, the median American salary in 2024 sits just below $60,000. Additionally, nearly 40 percent of adult Americans do not own their own home.

Fifty military veteran lawmakers have signed an open letter to Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate, for building his career on a “foundation” of lies about his military service. Walz has falsely claimed he is a retired command sergeant major, and falsely claimed he carried weapons “in war” during an anti-gun rights speech, despite never deploying to a combat zone.
“The Office of the Vice President is a position that requires the trust of the American people and a solemn commitment to duty on behalf of the United States of America. As veteranswho have served our nation, we feel compelled to address your egregious misrepresentations and urge you to come clean to the American people,” begins the letter, organized by Veterans and Military Families for Trump chairman Rep. Brian Mast.
It says the Minnesota Governor is right to be “damn proud” of his service but stresses “there is no honor in lying about the nature of your service.”
“Repeatedly claiming to be a ‘Retired Command Sergeant Major’ when you did not complete the requirements was not honorable. Nor was it honorable to claim to carry weapons ‘in war’ when you had not served in war, and abandoning the men and women under your leadership just as they were getting ready to deploy was certainly not honorable either,” the letter states.
SKIPPING IRAQ.
Walz took early retirement to run for Congress as his unit was being prepared for deployment to Iraq. He previously claimed he did not know about his unit’s upcoming deployment, but unearthed press releases from his campaign show he was well aware of it.
“The honor of wearing the uniform is earned through dedication, bravery, and an unwavering sense of duty. You have displayed none of these characteristics as you have lied your way through a political career launched on the foundation of a title you did not earn and combat deployments you did not take part in,” the letter says.
“America’s veterans and servicemembers are rightfully concerned about what would happen to them should you ascend to the Presidency. When America asked you to lead your troops into War, you turned your back on your troops,” it concludes.
“You have violated the trust of our brothers and sisters in arms. Their blood, sweat, and sacrifice are the only reason our nation is able to exist. Until you admit you lied to them, there is no way you can be trusted to serve as Vice President.”
