Abe Hamadeh has defeated Blake Masters in Arizona‘s 8th Congressional District Republican primary. A former Maricopa County prosecutor, Hamadeh narrowly lost the state’s 2022 Attorney General race by under 300 votes to Democrat Kris Mayes. In the 8th Congressional District, Hamadeh fought through a contentious primary to win by a few thousand votes over Masters.
Just days before the primary, former President Donald J. Trump endorsed both Hamadeh and Masters as the preferred MAGA movement candidates. Meanwhile, there were concerns that a last-minute surge by Trump-skeptical Arizona State House Speaker Ben Toma could result in an upset in the race.
In his endorsement of both candidates—posted to his Truth Social platform on Sunday—former President Trump said: “In Congress, we need a true Warrior who will work tirelessly with us to Grow our Economy, Stop Inflation, Secure our Border, End Migrant Crime, Support our Great Military/Vets, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.”
Polling in the district suggested the primary would be a tight and hard-fought race, with both Hamadeh and Masters trading leads in several surveys. In the unofficial results as of publication, however, Hamadeh finished with 29.83 percent to Masters’s 25.32 percent. Toma came in a close third with 21.23, while former Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) finished in fourth place with 16.54 percent.

Former President Donald J. Trump addressed the 2024 National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in Chicago, Illinois, joining a panel of interviews including ABC News‘s Rachel Scott, Fox News‘s Harris Faulkner, and Semafor‘s Kadia Goba. The discussion began with a lengthy and testy exchange between Scott and Trump, where the ABC News correspondent attacked Trump over attending the event and accused him of being demeaning to black Americans.
The Republican President fired back, calling ABC News a “fake news” network. “I’ve done so much for the black population of this country,” Trump said before listing off his administration’s accomplishments: “Including employment, including opportunity zones with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina—which is one of the greatest programs ever for black workers and black entrepreneurs.”
“I’ve done so much, and you know, I say this: historically black colleges and universities were out of money. They were stone-cold broke, and I saved them, and I gave them long-term financing, and nobody else was doing it,” he added to sporadic applause. While Scott and Trump were spared throughout the hour-long panel discussion, Trump also fielded less charged and argumentative questions from Faulkner and Goba.
Earlier this week, Karen Attiah, the Global Opinions editor and columnist for The Washington Post, resigned as the co-chair of the NABJ convention in response to former President Trump‘s invitation to speak. “I have decided to step down as co-chair from this year’s #NABJ24 convention in Chicago,” Attiah said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). She added: “To the journalists interviewing Trump, I wish them the best of luck. For everyone else, I’m looking forward to meeting and reconnecting with all of you in the Windy City.”
Following the event, she posted on X: “I am so angry right now. N.A.B.J., this was a colossal mistake.”

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam,notes that a New York Times article criticizing the recent Venezuelan elections parallels critiques made by conservatives during the 2020 presidential elections in the United States and subsequent elections afterward. Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro claims to have won the largely fraudulent presidential vote, drawing international condemnation.
“The New York Times says Venezuela’s election was dodgy. They cite: Blocked access to polling stations Changes in how/where people vote. Arbitrary polling station timings/management. The withholding of paper ballots,” Kassam wrote on X, adding: “Sounds familiar!”
The New York Timesarticle, published on July 31, notes that the Maduro regime intimidated voters, changed polling station locations at the last minute, kept polls open in some areas beyond the scheduled end of the voting, and only gave out digital tallies of votes. Several of these issues were raised during the 2020 presidential election won by current U.S. President Joe Biden, including criticisms of digital voting machines.
Dominion Voting Systems has been one of the firms highlighted and has continued to see problems with their machines, including multiple discrepancies found during a primary vote in Puerto Rico earlier this year. Other voting machines have also experienced similar problems, such as those made by Election Systems & Software, which flipped votes in Pennsylvania last year due to an alleged “coding error.”
The Maduro regime has also refused to show the paper tallies of ballots counted by voting machines. In the U.S., a majority of Americans want to see paper ballot backups rather than only voting machines used at the polls, and the majority also support requiring ID to vote as well.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee for the November presidential election following Joe Biden’s ouster, again challenged former President Donald J. Trump again to a debate during her first rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday night.
The Democratic candidate said that Trump should criticize her record as a progressive prosecutor and failed border czar “to her face” in a September debate.
“So, the momentum in this race is shifting, and there are signs that Donald Trump is feeling it,” Harris asserted at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia. She claimed the former president has pulled out of a September debate he previously agreed to—against Joe Biden—although his campaign has only said he will not commit to the debate until the Democratic Party officially designates Harris as its nominee.
Harris suggested Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance have had “a lot to say about her,” adding: “Well, Donald, I do hope you’ll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage, because as the saying goes, if you’ve got something to say, say it to my face.”
The National Pulse reported late last week that polling data following Biden’s announcement that he would not run for reelection shows the race has narrowed, with Harris and Trump nearly tied among voters.
Harris’s entrance in the 2024 contest has injected new life into Democrats who had been previously demoralized by the failing campaign of the 81-year-old Biden, who shows clear signs of cognitive and physical decline.

Vice President Kamala Harris is starting to distance herself from some far-left positions she previously endorsed. Harris’ earlier campaign efforts catered heavily to the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. She was once rated the most liberal Senator in America in an analysis piece the corporate media have now memory holed.
In December 2019, the then-Senator ended her initial run for the Democratic nomination after a disastrous primary performance. However, she remained in the limelight by aligning with progressive ideology during the protests following George Floyd’s death. Recently resurfaced videos, now being aired in ads by Republican Senate candidate David McCormick in Pennsylvania, show Harris opposing fracking, suggesting the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), criticizing police funding and hiring practices, and considering granting the vote to felons.
The videos also show her supporting a mandatory gun buyback program and the elimination of private health insurance.
With Pennsylvania being a critical battleground state due to its economic dependence on fracking, the Harris campaign claimed on Friday that she would not seek to ban fracking if elected, despite the many recordings of her saying there is “no question” she would abolish it.
Harris has also endorsed Joe Biden’s Supreme Court “reform” proposal, which even the corporate media have denounced as a politicization of the high court and a naked assault on the separation of powers.
Harris’s recent campaign adjustments underscore a strategic shift as the “original Marxist district attorney” seeks broader voter appeal ahead of the November election.
Make no mistake, Kamala Harris supports a ban on fracking. She said so multiple times.

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, fired from the network for amplifying anti-Israel content in the wake of the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks, is demanding Kamala Harris tap Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election. Hasan, crediting Walz with starting the “weird” line of attack against former President Donald J. Trump and his vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), says he now describes himself as “Walz-pilled.”
“I’ll be honest: last month, I would have struggled to pick Walz out of a lineup,” the former MSNBC host—who now works for the Qatari-funded Al Jazeera network—writes. Walz, 60, is a relatively non-descript white Midwest governor who some in the Democratic Party see as a potential salve for voters regarding Harris’s far-left politics.
While Walz may check several demographic boxes sought by the Harris campaign—namely that he’s white—the Minnesota governor isn’t a Midwest moderate by Hasan‘s own admission. “He has an army of new fans across the liberal-left: from former Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign co-chair Nina Turner, to one-time Democratic congressman Beto O’Rourke, to gun-control activist David Hogg,” he writes.
“Walz also comes with less political baggage than his two main rivals and is, therefore, much less likely to divide the party,” argues Hasan, whose own baggage includes leaked sermons denigrating non-Muslims as “cattle” who “live their lives as animals.”
“Democrats can have Tim Walz on the ticket, who called the anti-war, pro-Palestinian ‘uncommitted’ movement ‘civically engaged’ and praised them for ‘asking for a change in course’ and ‘for more pressure to be put on’ the White House, or they can have Josh Shapiro, who called for a crackdown on anti-war, pro-Palestinian college protesters and even compared them to the KKK.”
Shaprio, the Democrat Governor of Pennsylvania, is Jewish.

In August 2020, this website was the first in the world to expose the Transition Integrity Project as a product of the globalist deep state, which went on to help secure Joe Biden the White House following one of the most murky elections America has ever witnessed. Now, they’re back, with the pro-Biden Guardian newspaper confirming that “a similar set of wargaming exercises… pinpointed with uncanny precision Trump’s efforts to subvert [2020’s] presidential election.”
In reality, the Transition Integrity Project’s (TIP) predictions were less “uncanny” and more a roadmap for a Biden campaign that was losing badly to Trump. In the dead of night, however, tens of thousands of ballots began to appear, with Republicans scarcely equipped to deal with what has become known as “the steal.”
THE OLD SOROS CONNECTION.
The chain of custody on those ballots remains, to this day, unclear. But the chain of custody to the planning process for the steal was laid out by The National Pulse in advance of the 2020 election. Key George Soros operative Rosa Brooks founded the original TIP alongside the China-linked Nils Gilman, who went on to threaten the life of a former Trump administration official.
In 2024, Brooks is still on the scene with a new partner—Barton Gellman. Gellman is a hardline, pro-war, anti-Trump writer for Atlantic magazine who has also served as an advisor at leading interventionist and neoconservative think tanks in Washington, D.C. Gellman is the deep state personified.
In their newest fantasy, Brooks and Gellman imagine a situation where Trump wins in November 2024 and immediately invokes the Insurrection Act in order to crush political dissent. It is this level of extremist fever-dreaming that doubtless led Thomas Matthew Crooks to attempt to murder President Trump just weeks ago.
Per the Guardian, a “second game looked at Trump’s threat to politicise federal agencies, including the justice department, and weaponise them against his political enemies. A third probed his immigration plans, which include dark warnings of mass roundups of undocumented immigrants and large-scale deportations.”
Another three unreported exercises were played out, with little information available on them at the time of publication. Only a handful of individuals who participated in the May and June war games conducted under “tight security” agreed to be named. Those included former RNC diversity hire Michael Steele, ex-Trump deputy chief of staff for Homeland Security Elizabeth Neumann, former Bill Clinton associate Richard Danzig, and the Biden regime’s own Spencer Boyer – a leading NATO apparatchik.
“This wasn’t a fanciful or unrealistic scenario,” said Peter Keisler, former acting US attorney general under George W Bush, who participated in the simulation. “We know people associated with Trump have been looking into how to use the Insurrection Act to deploy military force domestically against protests.”
ANTI-MILITARY.
The participants even took aim at the U.S. military during the exercises.
“I’m not sure we can count on the military in a Trump world,” remarked Paul Eaton, a former major general in the US army who also participated in the uniparty effort to keep Trump from office.
“When you have an armed force of 2 million-plus men and women who get a steady diet of lies from Fox News and social media, then you risk ending up with a military that’s going to question what is really true,” Eaton said.
One of the most bizarre moments in the war game came when Trump allegedly rounded up three of Joe Biden’s grandchildren, as well as having former Vice President Mike Pence’s daughter arrested, with someone making the comment, “just to make sure Pence keeps his mouth shut.”
“That is just the tip of the iceberg,” another participant said.
Peter Keisler, a former acting US attorney general under George W. Bush, also participated in the simulations and concluded: “Do I think there’s a genuine jeopardy to our democracy? Absolutely. Do I think the country is ready for it? No. Do I think it’s guaranteed to end well? No… And this was just a game. Then there’s real life, and that’s ahead of us.”

Kamala Harris previously compared U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and called former President Donald J. Trump‘s wall on the southern border a “vanity project.” The re-emergence of Harris’s remarks comes as she faces increasing scrutiny as the Democratic Party’s presumptive 2024 presidential nominee following 81-year-old Joe Biden’s exit from the race on July 21.
ICE AND THE KLAN.
In a 2018 Senate hearing, then-Senator Harris likened ICE to the KKK. Harris pressed Ronald Vitiello—the then-acting director of ICE—regarding the history of the KKK and its targeting of individuals based on their race. “Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws? And do you see any parallels?” Harris asked Vitiello, suggesting the governmental agency was engaged in activities similar to that of the KKK.
Outraged, Vitiello pushed back, asking Harris if she was putting ICE in the same category as the KKK. The then-California Senator doubled down, asking the acting ICE director again if he was aware that some saw the agency as behaving the same way as the KKK, suggesting “there might need to be some work done to correct [that] perception.”

TRUMP’S BORDER WALL.
Several years later, during the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential primary, Harris criticized Trump’s border wall, describing it as a “vanity project” and claiming that illegal immigration did not constitute an emergency. Furthermore, during her presidential campaign, she argued against treating illegal immigrants as criminals.
She stated, regarding Trump‘s border policies, “We don’t need to build a wall. This is a crisis of [Trump’s] own making,” and vowed not to support funding for the wall.
2019: Kamala Harris calls the border wall a “vanity project” because “by definition,” illegalimmigration is “not an emergency.”
Despite such stances, Biden assigned Harris the task of addressing the border crisis and its “root causes” shortly after his inauguration in 2021, becoming the government’s border czar, despite corporate media attempts to claim she did not.
During her tenure as border czar, Harris refused to meet with Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens during his two years in office.
Former Border Patrol leader Chris Clem slammed Harris’s disastrous handling of the border last week, saying, “You own this. You can’t say, ‘It’s not my responsibility.'” Clem referred to the border situation as “disastrous.”
Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council, also heavily criticized Harris, saying she refused to implement any policies needed to end the border crisis.

New footage of the building where Thomas Matthew Crooks positioned himself in his assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump has emerged, showing law enforcement officials around the building moments before gunshots occurred.
Crooks had taken a position atop a building near a rally in Butler, PA. Despite the imminent threat, Trump remained on stage until shots were fired.
Trump was not taken off stage as police were surrounding Thomas Matthew Crooks moments before the assassination attempt. Police cleared the area next to the building an hour beforehand.
— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) July 29, 2024
Bystander video footage released July 29 revealed that law enforcement had tried to clear the area between the building where Crooks was positioned and the rally’s perimeter fence about an hour before the shooting.
As security personnel seemed aware of the threat, Trump continued his speech without interruption until the gunfire began.
The individual recording the video, while fleeing the scene, noted heightened police activity with officers surrounding the sniper’s location. The footage was only released this week as the FBI had briefly seized the phone used to record the video.
President Trump suffered a minor injury, being hit in the ear. The shots also struck several attendees behind him. Corey Comperatore, a former volunteer firefighter, was fatally wounded while protecting his family.
Following the gunfire, Crooks was neutralized by Secret Service counter snipers stationed on nearby buildings.
Investigations reveal Crooks had flown a drone over the rally site in the hours leading up to the incident. It has been reported that counter snipers were alerted to Crooks’ presence approximately 90 minutes before the shooting occurred.
Questions still remain regarding the shooting, and Congress voted unanimously last week to create a task force to investigate the incident more deeply.

Kamala Harris‘s 2024 presidential campaign claims it has secured $200 million in donations since she emerged as the likely Democratic presidential nominee last week. In addition, the Harris campaign, which has yet to officially secure the Democratic Party’s nomination, claims to have amassed over 170,000 volunteers for phone banking, canvassing, and other voter mobilization efforts as the election approaches in 100 days.
While approximately 60 percent of Harris‘s contributions came from first-time donors following Joe Biden‘s decision to exit the race, a significant number of donations may need refunding due to federal contribution limits. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is expected to weigh in on several campaign finance issues in the coming weeks regarding the Democratic Party’s decision to swap Harris for the 81-year-old Biden.
Although the Harris campaign may exaggerate the number of volunteers, Zoom event attendees, and even donors—a tactic often used by candidates attempting to project electoral strength and gin up enthusiasm among both their base and independent voters—the machine behind the presumptive Democrat nominee is formidable.
A FORMIDABLE MACHINE.
The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, noted last week that the Democratic Party is more capable today than during former President Donald J. Trump‘s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016.
“I think they learned in 2016 that they must cheat, they must steal, they must take part in all these different, let’s say, malleable parts on the fringes of certain counties and election boards across the country, and I’m not entirely convinced that the political right has done enough/anything to account for that,” Kassam told Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
“There are going to be alarm bells starting to ring, I guarantee you, in the next couple of weeks about just how little there is in terms of changes there on the ground,” he added.
