NeverTrumpers Target 45 With New Fox News Ads.

Neoconservative Bill Kristol’s Republican Accountability Project has launched a six-figure ad campaign against former President Donald Trump with a 60-second ad spot running on Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News in the Phoenix, Milwaukee, and Atlanta media markets. The ‘NeverTrump’ group has also purchased a ‘virtual’ billboard in New York City’s Times Square featuring the former President’s mugshot and a list of the charges filed against him in the four separate federal and state prosecutions.

Gunner Ramer, political director of Republican Accountability Project said the purpose of the ad campaign was to “…[remind] the American people that no one in this country is above the law—not even a former president.”

The 60-second ad spot features a voice-over stating: “When Donald Trump was president, he thought it didn’t matter how many laws and norms he broke … Many of us even started saying ‘nothing matters’ … But in America the rule of law still matters. And that’s why Donald Trump has been charged with 91 felonies in four separate cases … This is America, and no one is above the law.”

The anti-Trump ad campaign is just the latest political stunt by Kristol and his associate Sarah Longwell.

The National Pulse previously reported that the two have also launched an advocacy group to push for further U.S. involvement in support of Ukraine in their war with Russia. The organization, Republicans for Ukraine, will use an initial $2 million budget to target Republican voters and lawmakers with a pro-war message in an attempt to revive flagging Republican support for additional military aid for the Eastern European nation.

Politician Arrested For Supporting Right to Preach The Bible.

Anthony Stevens, a UK politician, was arrested in front of his wife and children and held in prison for nine hours after a local left-wing opponent reported him to the police… for criticizing the police.

Stevens had posted his critiques of the handling of another high-profile persecution of a Christian – King Lawal – before he himself was arrested on the spurious grounds of “stirring up racial hatred”.

The British police interrogated Stevens over his public support of Lawal, a former Conservative Party local politician until his own party suspended him for arguing, “Pride is not a virtue but a sin.” Stevens shared the story on X (formerly Twitter) with the comment, “If you value free speech please sign [a petition] and share.”

“The accusation of racial hatred is ridiculous and insulting. My only crime has been supporting the only black local councilor in Northamptonshire,” Stevens argued following his arrest.

“In a true democratic society, you cannot have people being arrested for a few tweets. We must have debate, we must have the freedom to criticise and offend each other, otherwise this country is going to swiftly go to pot,” he added.

Eminem Cries to Lawyers Because Vivek Performs His Songs for Fun.

Republican presidential candidate and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy received a cease and desist letter from rapper Eminem, who is demanding that Ramaswamy stop performing his songs on the campaign trail.

Acting through his music’s license holder, BMI, Eminem informed Ramaswamy campaign lawyers that he is “…objecting to the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign’s use of [his] musical compositions (the “Eminem Works”) and requesting that BMI remove all Eminem Works from the Agreement.”

Ramaswamy, a 2024 candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, made a media splash when he performed Eminem’s hit song “Lose Yourself” during an event at the Iowa State Fair hosted by Governor Kim Reynolds.

Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is no stranger to legal controversies over his nearly 30-year career. In June of 2000 the rapper was slapped with weapons charges after pulling an unloaded gun on an employee of the rival music group, Insane Clown Posse. In July of 2000 he was sued by his now ex-wife Kimberly ‘Kim’ Anne Scott for defamation after he graphically described her attempted suicide in the song entitled “Kim.”

The United States Secret Service has twice investigated Eminem for threatening Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump in his music. In 2016, the rapper released a free-style rap entitled “Campaign Speech” that was highly critical of Donald Trump and in 2020 he authorized the Biden campaign to use “Lose Yourself” – the same song performed by Ramaswamy in Iowa – in a campaign video.

Eminem was once known for railing against the establishment, and censoriousness. That, however, was twenty years and several hundred million dollars ago.

Trump: DeSantis May Drop Out, Run for Senate.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may drop “out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate,” according to a new post from former President Trump. The “rumor” has been called “fake news” by DeSantis press secretary Bryan Griffin, who himself is accused of running a number of anonymous pro-DeSantis accounts on X (formerly Twitter).

Polling following the first Republican presidential debate held last week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has shown little movement among the candidates, with former President Trump continuing to hold a commanding lead – despite declining to participate in the debate. At least one betting odds bookmaker, however, now believes tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy – instead of DeSantis – is the favorite for second place in the Republican primary following his debate performance.

Florida Senator Rick Scott may be vulnerable to a primary challenge from someone like Governor DeSantis. Some of his Republican colleagues in the Senate at least partially blame the Scott’s management of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and its finances for the Republican failure to retake the U.S. Senate during the 2022 mid-term elections. Scott also attempted a failed leadership coup against Republican Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell at the end of last year.

Former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a Florida Democrat, has announced her intention to challenge Scott for the U.S. Senate in the 2024 general election.

Rick Scott was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018, after serving for two terms as the Governor of Florida. According to Morning Consult, Scott holds a 72 percent approval rating among Florida Republicans – with 38 percent strongly approving of his job performance, and 34 percent saying they ‘somewhat approve.’

SMEAR CAMPAIGN: Populist Leader Attacked With Dog Feces.

Beatrix von Storch, the Deputy Leader of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party, was attacked over the weekend when a young political opponent smeared dog excrement on her stomach in front of a large audience. The incident occurred after von Storch gave a lecture in the town of Daun in the Rheinland-Palatinate on Friday evening. The attacker pretended to want a photograph with the politician before he reached into his pocket with his bare hand and smeared the excrement on her. He was quickly apprehended by the German police and is now under investigation for insult and attempted bodily injury.

Addressing the incident on X (formerly Twitter) von Storch said, “We fight with arguments, those who hate the AfD fight with feces, we oppose their hate with persuasion and the love of our country. The love has always been stronger than the hate.”

Von Storch held another event on Saturday in Hesse, which almost ended disastrously after a man tried to smuggle three knives into the discussion but was caught by the event’s security.

This was the second time in recent weeks that an AfD politician was attacked following the vicious beating of the Romanian-born chairman of the party’s Augsburg branch, Andreas Jurca, who was called a “f***ing Nazi,” and suffered two black eyes, scratches, multiple bruises, and was unable to walk without crutches.

The political rhetoric against the AfD is becoming increasingly extreme as the party continues to surge in the national polls. The German establishment is considering a ban on the party as a result.

Romney Says Ukraine Aid Is ‘Best National Defense Spending Ever’.

Senator Mitt Romney (R-Utah) praised the Biden regime for sending billions of dollars in taxpayer funds to aid Ukraine in its war against Russia. Romney called it the “best national defense spending” the US has ever done, trouncing the money spent by the United States in helping defeat Hitler, communism, and/or tackling the Chinese Communist Party contemporaneously.

The embattled Utah Senator argued that supporting Ukraine is crucial for weakening Russia, which ultimately benefits American national security and challenges China’s territorial ambitions. The Biden regime has sent over $200 billion to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion last year and has proposed an additional $10 billion. However, some Americans have criticized this decision, citing the ongoing inflation and prioritization of foreign aid over domestic issues.

Residents of Maui expressed their discontent with President Biden’s decision to allocate additional funds to Ukraine while they face displacement due to devastating wildfires in the town of Lahaina. One Maui resident Amanda Cassidy told the media: “I think people really want to see you show up for us and provide an eighth of what you’re giving to Ukraine. It’s outrageous. Lahaina is so hurt right now and that was tone-deaf.”

Over 100 people have perished since wildfires ravaged the Hawaiian island earlier this month. Reports indicated that well over 400 residents remain missing, and officials expect the death toll to continue to rise.

notting hill carnival

85 Arrests, 11 for Sexual Assault at ‘Multicultural’ Notting Hill Carnival.

London’s annual Notting Hill Carnival, a multicultural street festival notorious for rampant criminality, saw scores of arrests prior to midnight on its first day, including multiple sexual assaults and attacks on police officers.

As of 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, the Metropolitan Police confirmed there had been 85 arrests, for the following crimes:

  • Assault on a police officer (10)
  • Robbery (1)
  • Criminal damage (2)
  • Public order (6)
  • Possession of an offensive weapon (26)
  • Drugs (18)
  • Sexual assault (11)
  • Assault occasioning Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) (1)
  • Assault occasioning Actual Bodily Harm (ABH)/Common assault (4)
  • Other (6)

The carnival continues tonight, with Sunday having been the Children’s Day portion of the event.

It returned to London for the first time since the onset of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic last year, accompanied by a number of violent incidents. These included a policewoman being sexually assaulted by two men in a crowd and a rapper being stabbed to death in an attack which resulted in five arrests but no charges.

Far-left Labour mayor Sadiq Khan claims the carnival is “part of the fabric of our city,” where “we don’t just tolerate our diversity – we embrace and celebrate it” – but the Metropolitan Police Federation, which serves as a union for rank-and-file London police officers, has long lobbied for it to be shut down.

“Every year our brave officers come under attack at this event. Colleagues dread policing it. And yet nothing changes,” they complained in  2022.

Pope Francis Declares U.S. Catholic Conservatives ‘Backward’ Over Politics.

Pope Francis has called American Catholic Conservatives ‘backward,’ suggesting they have replaced faith with ideology and that the correct interpretation of Catholicism and Christian doctrine is to allow for change over time.

The pontiff made the remarks earlier this month during a private meeting with Portuguese members of his Jesuit religious order in Lisbon. The comments were released on Monday after being vetted by the Vatican’s secretariat of state.

He further suggested that the U.S. Catholic church has a “very strong, organized, reactionary attitude” after he himself has faced increased criticism for his overemphasis on political issues, including his support for the green agenda, vaccines, and left-wing economics.

“I want to remind these people that backwardness is useless, and they must understand that there’s a correct evolution in the understanding of questions of faith and morals,” he added.

The Pope has made increasingly bizarre comments in recent weeks. Last week, he urged a gathering of young Russian Catholics to follow in the path of the country’s expansionist monarchs such as Peter the Great – whom President Putin idolizes –and Catherine the Great, referring to them as having ruled over a “great, enlightened empire of great culture and great humanity.”
