EXC: DeSantis Hired Radical Left, Open Border, Anti-Gun, LGBT & Abortion Activist.

Ron DeSantis appointed the radically pro-lockdown, Never-Trump Democrat, Dave Kerner as Interim Executive Director of Florida’s Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles in January this year, ignoring a petition by more than one thousand Floridians who opposed the appointment on the grounds that his policies contravened freedom in the sunshine state, The National Pulse can reveal.

Kerner, 39, is a former Democratic Member of the Florida House of Representatives with a radical legislative record, including voting to force churches to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies, voting against a bill to ban Floridian taxpayer money from funding abortions, voting against a bill to allow local law enforcement to detain illegal migrants, and even voting in favor of a bill allowing illegal immigrants to practice law in Florida.

Kerner and COVID.

Kerner acquired a reputation during the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping Palm Beach County closed longer than most others in his capacity as Palm Beach County Commissioner and Mayor. He was responsible for installing armed law enforcement officers, known as the “COVID Education and Compliance Team (CECT),” to enforce restrictions on more than a million Palm Beach County residents, claiming, “[t]here are bad actors in this community.”

CECT – which Kerner says was cleared by DeSantis’s office itself – visited cinemas and went door-to-door visiting restaurants to intimidate residents, with Kerner boasting his force “go out almost every night or every day.” One local restaurant manager said Kerner’s actions made it “extremely hard to run a business.”

As a result of his Stasi-like record, Floridians petitioned DeSantis not to appoint him to his latest post as Executive Director of Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles due to his “actions of supporting and enforcing harsh COVID mandates and shutdowns resulted in policies that harmed Floridians under his leadership.”

Despite the public concern, DeSantis approved Kerner and boasted over his nomination in January 2023, ostensibly in exchange for the Democrat’s endorsement in his gubernatorial election against Charlie Crist last November.

Kerner’s claimed that he “worked daily” with DeSantis’s office is reminiscent of the Governor’s real record on COVID, which included allowing “Florida’s Fauci” – Dr. Alina Alonso – to run roughshod over her residents without being fired.

DeSantis’s heavily revised record on COVID collapses upon even basic scrutiny, which is why his campaign has sought to muddy the waters of the COVID-19 task force, Operation Warp Speed, and President Trump’s role during the pandemic.

EXC: Bannon & Kushner Reconcile Over ‘Sound of Freedom’ Movie at Bedminster.

BEDMINSTER, New Jersey – The Sound of Freedom movie, highlighting the scourge of child sex trafficking, has brought audiences together across America, and media haters together on the internet. Now, it appears the film has reunified two unlikely figures in previously sworn enemies: Jared Kushner and Stephen K. Bannon.

The son-in-law of the 45th President of the United States and his former Chief Strategist grew quickly estranged in the Trump White House, with the former accusing the latter of leaking, and the latter blasting back against Kushner’s New York liberal instincts in government.

But the pair accidentally found each other at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster on Wednesday night, as President Trump screened the Sound of Freedom movie for his club members, as well as an inner circle of influencers, writers, and reporters, including The National Pulse.

“This movie can unite the country. It’s already united Jared, Ivanka, Kellyanne and Steve Bannon,” joked the War Room host from the stage last night, in a nod to how fractious it became between the four in the White House.

Donald Trump himself has already ruled out a return to the administration for members of his family, telling Fox News’s Bret Baier, “that’s enough for the family,” before adding, “It’s too painful for the family, my family has been through hell.”

Both Jared and his wife Ivanka Trump were in attendance for the special screening of Sound of Freedom on Wednesday night, as were top MAGA-world officials and influencers such as Susie Wiles, Boris Epshteyn, Jason Miller, Chris La Civita, Karli Bonne, Jack Posobiec, Paul Ingrassia, Tanya Posobiec, Olivia Ingrassia, J.R. Majewski, Natalie Winters, Gavin Wax, Alexandra Preate, and more.

Ron DeSantis Hosts D.C. Fundraiser at Dominion’s Lawyer’s Office.

Would-be GOP nominee Ron DeSantis is hosting a fundraiser at the offices of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, one of the top D.C. lobbying firms who served as lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems, and count amongst their top directors Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s former chief of staff.

The event will take place on June 23rd, in Suite 1200 at 1155 F Street NW – otherwise known as the offices of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, which also famously dropped the Republican National Committee as a client in a lawsuit against the Democrat Party’s Jan 6 Committee.

One of the key names on the invite is Marc Lampkin, a lobbyist for the firm with links to the Chinese Communist Party, as well as Big Pharma and the puberty blocker industry.

Critically, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck boasts of representing Dominion Voting Systems, stating on its website:

“Dominion Voting Systems, a provider of voting technology in 28 states, faced baseless allegations of fraud in the 2020 election. They needed a defense team with not only a strong reputation but the ability to manage the lawsuit while maintaining a nonpartisan stance. Dominion turned to Brownstein. Our team secured a quick dismissal. The federal judge subsequently awarded attorneys fees and costs to the defendants and imposed sanctions on the plaintiffs’ attorneys who brought the frivolous and politically motivated lawsuit purportedly on behalf of all registered voters. This comprehensive resolution was not only crucial in maintaining Dominion’s ability to support elections and rebuking threats against its employees, but also in correcting misinformation propagated to the general public.”

Dominion first retained the firm in 2019, with Nadeem Elshami – Pelosi’s former chief of staff – listed as one of the specific lobbyists. Dominion’s six figure annual payments for representation continue to this day.

In February, DeSantis hosted Dominion lawyer Libby Locke for a panel discussion about defamation in Hialeah Gardens, Florida.

Defiant Trump in Georgia: ‘We Will Finish What We Started.”

COLUMBUS, Georgia — Former President Donald Trump will speak in Georgia this afternoon, and is expected to announcement a raft of policy positions and declare: “On November 5th, 2024, we are going to stand up to the corrupt political establishment, we are going to evict a totally corrupt Joe Biden from the White House, and we are going to FINISH what we started!”

Described by aides as “defiant” in his demeanor today, the 45th President took off from Newark, New Jersey around 11:30am on Saturday, travelling with Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene as well as his closest aides and advisors.

He landed to crowds of supporters, walking the line, shaking hands, as fans chanted “four more years!” as well as “we love you.” The streets outside the airport were also lined with supporters as the ex-POTUS’s motorcade travelled to the GOP convention.

In expected remarks that can be shared by The National Pulse, Trump is expected to say: “It’s no coincidence they indicted me the VERY SAME DAY it was revealed that the FBI hid explosive evidence that Joe Biden took a $5 million illegal bribe from Ukraine.”

His speech will also foretell of the probability of a third world war, unless he is able to negotiate a truce between Ukraine and Russia.

“Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after I win the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. It will be done within 24 hours. I am the only candidate who can make this promise: I will prevent World War Three. Without me, it will happen.”

Trump will also fire at the Chinese Communist Party and Joe Biden, stating: “To save our economy from Joe Biden’s inflation catastrophe and economic disaster, I will deliver tax cuts, energy price cuts, and interest rate cuts the likes of which you have never seen before.”

Trump will also state: “I will immediately sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children.”

He will conclude: “If you took the five worst presidents in the history of the United States, and added them up, they would not have done near the destruction to our country as Joe Biden and the Biden administration have done.”

“The Silent Majority is rising—and under our leadership, the Forgotten Man and Woman Will Be Forgotten No Longer!”

EXC: DeSantis LOSES Support Post Launch, Trump Adds 13 Points in Head-to-Head.

Ron DeSantis starts off the week with yet more bad news for his campaign, as the first Rasmussen Reports head-to-head since his glitch-ridden campaign launch shows the Florida Governor actually losing support.

A like-for-like study released by Rasmussen on Monday morning reveals DeSantis’s February 2023 numbers at 32 percent with likely Republican voters, whereas he slips to 30 percent in the latest, May poll.

And while the Florida Governor’s slippage is with Rasmussen’s three point margin of error, former President Donald Trump’s massive spike in support is definitely not. The 45th President rose a whopping 13 points in comparison to February, and since DeSantis’s campaign launch. He now stands at 58 percent, versus 45 percent just three months ago.

Amongst all likely voters – including Democrats and independents – DeSantis was actually slightly leading Trump before his announcement (30% vs 26%). In the latest poll, however, Trump has taken the lead, even increasing his appeal amongst Democrat voters. The numbers now stand at 34 percent to Trump and 33 percent to DeSantis.

Curiously, the Florida Governor’s biggest strides appear to be with self-identified liberal voters, per Rasmussen, though he still is unable to beat Joe Biden in a head-to-head in the same data set. Additionally, only around 60 percent of Trump voters say they would vote for DeSantis in a general election, raising questions over the Florida man’s ability to bring ‘MAGA’ voters into his coalition, were he to defeat Donald Trump in a primary.

The news comes after a few weeks of turmoil in Tallahassee, where DeSantis’s campaign is based. A few ago, his chief strategist Jeff Roe removed his long-time advisor Phil Cox. Since then, his surrogates have been in open online warfare against Trump supporters, to strikingly little avail.

EXC: Leaked CPAC ‘Do Not Invite’ List Shows Schlapp’s ‘Z-List’, Including Trump Family, Congressmen, and His Own Board Members.

Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) chairman Matt Schlapp retained a “DO NOT INVITE” spreadsheet of “Z listers” for his conferences. That list has been obtained by The National Pulse, and stunningly includes names such as Eric, Barron, and Tiffany Trump, as well as America First Members of Congress, and even some of CPAC’s own board members.

Schlapp’s treasurer – former Congressman Bob Beauprez – resigned last week alleging there was a “cancer” metastasizing inside the American Conservative Union (ACU), the parent organization of CPAC, also run by Schlapp. Dozens of staff have resigned in recent months.

Schlapp’s “Z-DO NOT INVITE” list is lengthy, and on a ‘CPAC Texas’ tab, includes names such as:

  • Morton Blackwell, Priscilla O’Shaughnessy, Ron Robinson, and Tim Ryan – all believed to be current, active board members of Schlapp’s own organization;
  • Reps. Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, James Comer, and around 50 other Members of Congress;
  • Barron Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Eric Trump, all prominent members of the Trump family;
  • General Flynn, Kayleigh McEnany, Kellyanne Conway, Brandon Straka, and dozens more.

It’s worth noting that’s Schlapp’s favoritism is fickle, with some of the “Z-list” having spoken at subsequent CPACs. But the unearthed list will add credence to the idea that Schlapp has used CPAC and the ACU as his personal playground for years.

Former CPAC board member Ned Ryun told The National Pulse: “It’s bizarre that the head of the ACU has a do not attend list of actual conservatives who can’t attend a conservative conference. We’re talking about him barring his own board members and elected members of Congress. Beyond being absurd, and obviously deeply personal and pettish, this stinks of cronyism, and a pay-to-play attitude.”

In 2014, when Schlapp took over CPAC, he told POLITICO: “The goal of ACU is not to kick all people out who might come from a different perspective,” he said. “In its name, it’s a union, to bring people together in a coalition. That’s the goal.”

Somewhere in the last nine years, that goal appears to have changed. A new book – The Big Break – details how the Schlapps even considered dropping their support for Donald Trump in 2016 over his immigration policies.
