Trans Columnist Says ‘Trump Regime’ Would Persecute Opponents, Though Most Would Find it ‘Tolerable’.

Brynn Tannehill — a transgender activist, opinion columnist, and technical analyst with the RAND Corporation — is continuing the proliferation of the Trump ‘bloodbathlie peddled by the corporate media allies of the Biden government. However, the RAND Corporation analyst adds additional hysterics in his essay for The New Republic — with predictions that a new Trump presidency will result in political persecution and a fascist dictatorship, a civil war, balkanization, or a split into two Americas.

The RAND Corporation analyst also claims he has “something of a track record of predicting the outcomes of elections involving Trump,” adding that he predicted post-2016 election “unrest.” Tannehill also makes the absurd claim that there was a wave of state-level anti-trans legislation that made most of the country “a no-go zone for trans people.”

DEMOCRAT SWEEP IN 2024.

According to Tannehill, if Joe Biden is re-elected and Democrats control both houses of Congress after 2024, Trump supporters “will be incited to violence.” However, Tannehill contends it will play out much like the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots. From here, he dives into the fantastical, theorizing that Republican-controlled states will ignore federal authority with Supreme Court backing and effectively divide the nation in two.

REPUBLICAN COUP AGAINST BIDEN.

If Biden wins re-election but Republicans retain the House, Tannehill predicts Speaker Mike Johnson will refuse to certify the election — and despite not being a cabinet member, Johnson will invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office. In effect, this would allow House Republicans to elect Trump as President. Tannehill claims that the U.S. military would put down any resistance to the move after Trump invokes the Insurrection Act.

TRUMP ‘MASSACRES’ RESISTANCE LIBS.

In the instance that Trump wins the Electoral College but loses the popular vote, Tannehill predicts Republicans will institute ‘Christian Nationalism.’ This, he contends, will result in an America with “no immigrants, no trans people, no Muslims, no abortion, no birth control” and federally funded Christian schools. Tannehill then fantasizes about a revolt by Democrat states, which Trump puts down with massacres under the auspices — again — of the Insurrection Act.

FASCIST AMERICA.

Tannehill’s final fantasy is one in which Donald Trump wins both the Electoral College and the popular vote. In this instance, the RAND analysis says democracy will die, and fascism will be enshrined in America. “For most people, life will be boring and tolerable. For the people targeted by the regime, it will not be easy to survive in the U.S. It will also lead to a wave of people (particularly trans individuals) attempting to flee to other countries,” Tannehill says of his final scenario.

National Review Defends ABC, Stephanopoulos Against Trump.

The National Review claims that former President Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the ABC News network and George Stephanopoulos is a “dud.” Andrew C. McCarthy, a contributing editor to the once venerable conservative publication and former Assistant U.S. Attorney, argues Stephanopoulos’s claims that the former President was ‘found liable for rape’ — while ‘inaccurate’ — are not ‘false.’ The ABC News host made the false assertions during a hostile interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) in early March.

Earlier this week, attorneys for former President Trump filed a lawsuit against ABC News in response to Stephanopoulos’s claims made during the Mace interview. The National Pulse previously reported that the filing alleges Stephanopoulos and ABC knowingly disseminated false information during the show, “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” mischaracterizing court verdicts and thereby damaging Trump’s public standing. Trump’s attorneys contend that while a civil court found the former President liable for “sexual abuse,” he was not found liable for rape.

McCarthy, however, contends that Stephanopoulos’s distinction between sexual abuse and rape doesn’t constitute defamation. “Nevertheless, inaccurate is not the same as false, which I don’t believe the partisan commentator’s statement was,” the former U.S. Attorney writes, adding: “Trump, moreover, did not suffer any material harm.”

The National Review writer continues, stating, “I don’t believe there would be a viable defamation case against Stephanopoulos even if Trump weren’t a public figure.” McCarthy concludes that, in his opinion, the “allegedly defamatory statement is not actionable” and was not made with “actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth.”

McCarthy does, at least, acknowledge that Stephanopoulos is “a partisan hack” who defended former President Bill Clinton against credible sexual assault allegations.

MeidasTouch Author Blasts America’s Founders as ‘White Supremacist Rapist Pedophiles’.

MeidasTouch, the White House-linked group behind the “bloodbath” hoax, employs a contributor who believes America’s Founders were all white supremacists, rapists, and pedophiles.

Run by the Meiselas brothers, MeidasTouch gives ‘Coach D’ pride of place on its contributors page alongside editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski. ‘Coach D’ made his comments about America’s Founders on social media in response to ACT for America chairwoman Brigitte Gabriel.

“If President Trump were alive during the Revolutionary War, I have no doubt he would have been one of the first signers of the Constitution,” Gabriel wrote.

“Yes,” the Meiselas lackey agreed. “He absolutely would’ve been a white supremacist, rapist and pedophile like the other signers.”

‘Coach D’ also said seeing the American flag on trucks “gives me a bad feeling.”  He also said he was not surprised Iowans voted for Trump due to their “overt white supremacy.”

He also regularly trashes black people who lean right. He suggested Candace Owens “wakes up daily wishing she were white.” He also described comedian Terrence Williams as “a proud agent of white supremacy” who “hates being black.”

“If there were a way to have a surgery to become white, Terrance would be fighting Candace Owens to be first in line,” he said.

Ronna McDaniel Works for MSNBC Now. Seriously…

Former RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has signed a deal to appear as a political commentator on NBC and MSNBC news programs. McDaniel resigned as chairwoman of the Republican Party earlier this month after she faced mounting criticism over questionable expenditures and lackluster fundraising. North Carolina Republican chairman Michael Whatley and former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who will serve as co-chairs, have replaced McDaniel.

NBC and MSNBC are billing the hire of McDaniel as the addition of a critical conservative voice who will represent the supporters and views of former President Donald Trump. “It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” said NBC news editor Carrie Budoff Brown in a memo to staff. She added that Ronna McDaniel will provide “an insider’s perspective on national politics and the future of the Republican Party.”

MSNBC RONNA.

McDaniel will also appear on MSNBC, providing insights into the 2024 presidential election. The leftwing news network has become the hub for anti-Trump voices in the corporate media. MSNBC’s on-air talent has a long history of making absurd claims and pushing pro-Democrat propaganda.

In mid-March, MSNBC host Joy Reid accused conservative lawmakers of “demagoguing” over the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, allegedly by Venezuelan illegal alien Jose Antonio Ibarra. Reid added that “migrant crime is negligible,” so the legislation — in her opinion — isn’t needed at all.

‘AKIN TO DEFEATING HITLER.’

Mike Barnicle, a seemingly immovable fixture on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, has compared the efforts to defeat Donald Trump to World War II and the fight of American GIs against Adolf Hitler. Other MSNBC guests have backed restricting First Amendment rights, smeared Christians, and attacked rural Americans as ‘cultists.’

The move by McDaniel marks the latest attempt by a Republican Party official to cash in on a media contract. Speculation continues to mount that Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) is retiring mid-term from Congress to pursue a contributor contract with a major corporate news network that some believe is CNN.

REVEALED: MeidasTouch Host Linked to Trump Prosecutor Jack Smith.

Karen Friedman Agnifilo, of the MeidasTouch network behind the “bloodbath” hoax, worked for five years with Jack Smith, the special prosecutor attempting to convict Donald Trump over January 6 and the alleged mishandling of classified documents, The National Pulse can reveal.

Agnifilo, who hosts a MeidasTouch podcast alongside network founder Ben Meiselas, was approached by the press when Smith was appointed to go after Trump by Joe Biden’s Justice Department. When asked for comment on her time working with him as an assistant district attorney in New York, she said: “He was someone you could rely on. Some people are always too busy, or always too important, or smarter than anybody else. He was humble, helpful, smart. He wasn’t a gunslinger. But he wasn’t afraid to go.”

“Some people just can’t pull the trigger. They get really scared. Jack wasn’t,” she added.

Agnifilo has used her MeidasTouch platform to push for her old friend to take a more aggressive line on Trump, whom she denigrates as the “orange Bully-in-Chief.”

She praised Smith for asking a judge to gag the former president. “It’s about time someone is finally trying to put an end to this dangerous rhetoric,” she said. “And, if [Trump] violates this order he should be put in jail,” she added.

Agnifilo is also a CNN contributor and hosts a show called “LegalAF” for the MeidasTouch network, which has been supported by E. Jean Carroll and Nikki Haley funder Reid Hoffman.

Analyst Says TikTok Ban Would Loosen Hollywood’s Grip on America’s Youth.

Banning TikTok would be a “gut punch” to Hollywood’s advertising capabilities, according to insiders.

The “engagement and awareness for movies and celebrities is unmatched on TikTok,” said Wedbush Securities tech analyst Daniel Ives in an interview with Variety. A TikTok ban “would be removing the hearts and lungs of social engagement across Hollywood and would be a gut punch in our view,” he said.

Studios have increasingly turned to the app to promote their films. The distributor Neon has “shifted a lot of our investment and our advertising dollars” to TikTok, said Christian Parkes, the studio’s chief marketing officer. “We’ve been able to manufacture followings far quicker there than on other platforms. TikTok is ground zero right now.”

[voting_poll post_id=”89963″] 

In the coming weeks, the U.S. Senate will vote on a bipartisan bill requiring China’s ByteDance to divest from TikTok within six months or see the app banned in the U.S. The bill passed in the House by a vote of 365 t0 352. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Mark Warner (D-CA) suggested this week that the bill may require amendments before it can be passed in the Senate.

Prince Harry Sues Rupert Murdoch Over Phone Hacking Cover-Up.

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, alongside over 40 claimants, has filed a lawsuit against News Group Newspapers (NGN). The litigation alleges that billionaire media titan Rupert Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks, the chief executive of News UK, concealed misconduct within the organization from the mid-1990s until 2016 – including the company’s phone hacking scandal. Additionally, the filing suggests that Murdoch provided false evidence, as did Brooks.

Additional players in Murdoch’s orbit identified in the filing include Will Lewis, former News International executive and current publisher of the Washington Post. The case against NGN — scheduled to start in January of next year — is one of the six ongoing legal battles in which Prince Harry is engaged.

Allegations leveled in the case also include the mysterious disappearance of a computer hard drive belonging to Brooks, which the claimants argue was explained away with false evidence provided to police by NGN. Among the claimants joining Prince Harry in the lawsuit against NGN are actor Hugh Grant, film director Guy Ritchie, and Baroness Doreen Lawrence. Lawrence and Prince Harry are claimants in a separate lawsuit against The Daily Mail.

NGN responded to the allegations, calling them a “cynical attack on the integrity” of company staff, past and present. The media group also questioned the ulterior motives of the lawsuit, suggesting that some claimants may be exploiting the case to further their personal agendas against the tabloid press.

WATCH: Now They Want Him to Sell It, Mar-a-Lago Is Suddenly Worth ‘Hundreds of Millions’ to CNN.

President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property is suddenly worth “hundreds of millions of dollars” to CNN and its guests, especially now they want him to sell it to meet the court-mandated bond fee of $454 million as ordered by far-left judge Arthur Engoron.

Speaking to CNN’s Erin Burnett, guest Bess Freedman said: “Mar-a-Lago, potentially that could be something that could be sold quickly. I think the valuation is something in the hundreds of millions and I think there could be a buyer for something like that.”

She added: “…there could be plenty of international people who want to buy that property. I mean, there’s properties that are priced at $150, 200 million that are nearby that and Palm Beach… it’s just shot up like a rocket and people do want to live there.”

[voting_poll post_id=”89956″] 

CNN Host Burnett then read out the Bloomberg valuation of Mar-a-Lago at $250 million. President Trump has recently asserted he feels the 1920s-era resort and home could go for over a billion. It has 62,000 sq ft on 17 acres of land and spans the street onto the beach. Judge Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James have listed the value of Mar-a-Lago as $18 million.

WATCH: Kassam Says ‘MeidasTouch’ Is Eating Media Matters’ Lunch.

MeidasTouch, the former Democrat super PAC responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax, has rendered David Brock, Media Matters, and the old guard of the online left redundant, says Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse.

Speaking on Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” Kassam said “Media Matters and David Brock and all of these guys” are “old hat.” He described them as “yesterday’s man and yesterday’s way of doing” things.

“MeidasTouch is for the TikTok generation,” Kassam explained. He noted they are “quite open” about their underhanded way of doing things, urging people to read their quotes, as reported by The National Pulse on Wednesday.

“They don’t say, ‘Oh, we’re news reporters. We’re trying to be journalists. We’re trying to expose the truth.’ They say, ‘Hey, we’re clipping Donald Trump out of context three, four, five times a day, and these things are getting 25 million views,’” Kassam explained.

“Media Matters is slow, it takes them six hours to get a story up,” he continued. “This is not the way to reach people anymore. Sorry, Brocksters, you’re done. MeidasTouch has eaten your lunch. That’s what’s happening here, and that’s why these guys are so dangerous.”

Kassam stressed that MeidasTouch was “invited to a preview screening of the State of the Union inside the White House.” He described this as “collusion between the Biden White House and this Hollywood-funded, Reid Hoffman-funded, hit job institution.”

WATCH:

On the links to Hoffman, a major early donor to MeidasTouch, Kassam noted that the LinkedIn billionaire — and visitor to Epstein island — is “under the mattresses” of many operations against Donald Trump. These include E. Jean Carroll, Russia hoaxsters FusionGPS, and Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley.

“Reid Hoffman really is the lynchpin of Never Trumpism right now,” Kassam said.

Biden White House Strategist Praises ‘MeidasTouch’ Bloodbath Hoaxsters, Calls Them ‘Front Lines.’

Joe Biden’s White House strategist and communications chief Anita Dunn has praised the bloodbath hoax progenitors ‘MeidasTouch’ describing them as the “front lines” of the fight against President Donald J. Trump and his re-election efforts. Earlier this week, The National Pulse announced a full investigative focus on the shady ‘MeidasTouch Network,’ which began as a Democrat PAC funded by E. Jean Carroll and Nikki Haley backer Reid Hoffman. You can support our work by joining, here.

“We need to be creative and move fast to contrast the President’s optimistic agenda for the future with the extreme agenda of Republican officials who want to take us back in time,” Dunn said in a comment to the Semafor website. “Aaron, Ron, and many others are on the front lines of making sure the American people know the truth of what is at stake,” she added.

Aaron is Aaron Rupar, a long-time hoaxster posing as a journalist on social media. Rupar’s work has been parodied in Urban Dictionary and has even been leveraged by the Chinese Communist Party to undermine U.S. law enforcement. This didn’t stop him being lauded by Joe Biden’s White House. Rupar and Ron Filipowski were even invited to a special preview of the State of the Union address, where they hobnobbed with Dunn alongside Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

Filipowski is the “Editor in Chief” of the MeidasTouch Network, founded by the brothers Ben, Brett, and Jordy. He’s also a “low-profile criminal defense attorney” who spends much of his time tweeting hoaxes like his colleague, the anonymized “Acyn” on X/Twitter. Acyn was the original progenitor of the bloodbath hoax, which even left-wingers admitted was a fraud on the American public.

Rupar admitted to Semafor that Acyn called Trump’s Ohio speech “kind of boring” and singled out the bloodbath line as a means by which to peddle content.

“The problem that he ran into with the ‘bloodbath’ thing was that he gave all of these networks a very easy headline and frame,” Rupar said.

MeidasTouch, Filipowski admits, is an out-and-out extension of the Biden campaign operation.

“The Meidas guys, as a team, said: We are going to do this to Trump,” Filipkowski said. “We are going to hit every gaffe, every mispronunciation, every slurred word, every mispronounced name, every time he mixes up a name. We’re going to clip that and we’re going to put it out and we’re going to put it in montages. No one else was doing that. Before last August, you can’t find a mainstream media story about Trump mispronouncing and slurring words. They weren’t out there.”

MeidasTouch staffers have used the word “bloodbath” several times in their reporting. However, simply pointing to their hypocrisy will scarcely do the job of exposing such a group. That’s why The National Pulse is committed to investigating the founders, their staff, and their Epstein-linked operation. Click here to join us.
