A frontline mechanic who uses the call sign “Hammer” has revealed Ukraine’s counteroffensive would not be possible without captured Russian vehicles. Hammer, who is the head of weapons and maintenance for the 35th Marine Brigade, stated that troops fighting in southern Ukraine have been using captured weapons and armor out of necessity.
He reports that without the Russian vehicles, Ukrainian forces would not be able to continue their operation. Over the past six weeks, his brigade has captured more than 20 Russian vehicles, including T-72 tanks and multi-purpose fighting vehicles.
Last week, Deutsche Welle reported that since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine over 17 months ago, Kiev has recovered over 800 enemy artillery systems and 300 tanks and put them back into use on the battlefield.
Colonel Oleksandr Saruba, who works for a Ukrainian military center analyzing captured weaponry, quipped that Russia is now competing with Western countries to supply weapons to Ukraine.

Matt Wells, a chairman in Ron DeSantis’s Never Back Down PAC, lambasted the U.S. South and Southerners, bemoaning the “climate of racism and bigotry” and the “hate and distrust emanating from the people,” in comments unearthed by The National Pulse. Wells is best known for recently disparaging MAGA conservatives as “degenerates” and telling leftist reporters he wouldn’t “piss on Donald Trump if he was on fire.”
Wells locked his X (formerly Twitter) account shortly after the first National Pulse report, penning a lengthy blog post refusing to apologize for his comments, which led to the discovery of his heinous, 2016 comments about his fellow Americans.
“I can normally talk to anyone that has more than a few brain cells to rub together. That wasn’t the case in South Carolina and Georgia,” he wrote of his time there, adding: “People in the South are incredibly suspicious of those that are different from them while at the same time being insufferably polite to your face while holding you in contempt as soon as you turn your back.”
Wells also bemoaned, much like the pages of the New York Times, “the still alive climate of racism and bigotry that has long dogged the American South” claiming some towns “are still almost entirely voluntarily (or not) segregated.”
“…the racist climate [in the South] is still alive and well.”
– Matt Wells, DeSantis PAC Chairman.’
Claiming to have been shouted at for “supporting someone with a ‘Cuban’ last name.” Wells also claimed in his lengthy diatribe: “Confederate flag flying homes, almost 100%, could be counted on as a home of a Combover devotee. His supporters speak like him. They use the same empty words and phrases (all with a southern drawl). ‘We’re going to build a wall’, ‘We’ll be so great’, ‘America doesn’t win anymore’, ‘He’ll make good deals’, etc.”
Having described Trump supporters as cultists, Wells concluded by declaring the “‘Bible Belt’ is frayed and the buckle is highly tarnished and the people need true spiritual revival. The one saving grace I cling to is Ted Cruz…”
“I don’t really have a desire to visit the south ever again,” he wrote, expressing hope that “the younger generations are turning away from the backwards thinking down South.”

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that city officials engaged in “selective enforcement of its defacement ordinance” when it arrested two pro-life activists for chalking public sidewalks while turning a blind-eye to the defacement of public property by Black Lives Matter (BLM) rioters – reversing an earlier district court ruling. The court stated in its opinion that:
In the summer of 2020, thousands of protesters flooded the streets of the District to proclaim “Black Lives Matter.” Over several weeks, the protesters covered streets, sidewalks, and storefronts with paint and chalk. The markings were ubiquitous and in open violation of the District’s defacement ordinance, yet none of the protesters were arrested. During the same summer, District police officers arrested two pro-life advocates in a smaller protest for chalking “Black Pre-Born Lives Matter” on a public sidewalk.
The two pro-life activists who were arrested were in D.C. participating in a protest organized by The Frederick Douglass Foundation and Students for Life of America. After the arrests, the two organizations filed a lawsuit against the city alleging that the unequal enforcement of the city ordinance was viewpoint discrimination and violated the First Amendment rights of the two arrested protestors.
The opinion of the court, authored by Judge Neomi Rao, held that:
The First Amendment prohibits discrimination on the basis of viewpoint irrespective of the government’s motive. We hold the Foundation has plausibly alleged the District discriminated on the basis of viewpoint in the selective enforcement of its defacement ordinance.
Judge Rao went on to note the multitude of incidents where D.C. public property had been defaced by BLM rioters, yet the city had made no arrests in any of these incidents. The Washington, D.C. BLM riots that took place in the summer of 2020 cost the city an estimated $14.5 million.

Corporate media worked overtime Wednesday night to report threats received, via voicemail, by D.C. Trump judge Tanya Chutkan, including calling her a “slave n*gger,” and adding “you are in our sights, we want to kill you… If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, b****.”
What every single media outlet failed to report, however, is that the now charged Abigail Jo Shry has a sad record of arrests dating back to mid-2022, and a series of mugshots which clearly identify the same woman, but with varying ages, heights, and weights.
In August of last year, Shry was arrested for class ‘C’ assault, resisting arrest or transport, possession of drug paraphernalia, public intoxication, failure to maintain financial responsibility (no insurance), and having an open container. At this point she was listed as 5’9 and 150lbs. Shry was subsequently arrested on warrant a week later, with her age listed as 42, and her date of birth listed as the 23rd May 1980.
Then, in early September, Shry was arrested again, with her date of birth given as February 10th, 2003. At this point, she was listed as being 5’8 and 175lbs. She was charged with criminal mischief and resisting arrest. Shry was picked up a fourth time in July 2023, this time with a birthday of October 1st, 1981. Her charge in July was “terrorist threat,” but no specifics were given.
The newest criminal complaint alleges that Shry called the office of D.C. Judge Tanya Chutkan on August 5th, just a few weeks after her “terrorist threat” arrest, and left threatening messages about the judge and other Democrats in Washington, D.C.
According to the charging document, “On August 8, 2023, DHS Special Agents conducted a knock and talk at the residence of Abigail Jo SHRY in Alvin, Texas. During consensual questioning, SHRY admitted that the phone number (832) XXX-XXXX belongs to her and that she did in fact make the call to Judge Chutkan’s chambers. SHRY stated that she had no plans to travel to Washington, DC or Houston to carry out anything she stated, adding that if Sheila Jackson Lee comes to Alvin, then we need to worry.”

Actor Alec Baldwin could be charged again following a forensic examination of the gun he was holding during a deadly shooting on the set of Rust. The exam, which involved reconstructing the gun, concluded the firearm could only have been discharged if the trigger was pulled.
Baldwin’s defense had argued that the weapon’s modification for use in the film could have caused it to go off without anyone pulling the trigger, but the study suggests that the shooting was caused by “the hammer being manually retracted to its fully rearward and cocked position followed, at some point, by the pull or rearward depression of the trigger.”
The special prosecutors in the case, who commissioned the report, previously indicated that they would refile charges against Baldwin “if it is determined that the gun did not malfunction”. No charges have been filed as of the time of publication, but the prosecutors say a formal announcement is “forthcoming”.
In the meantime, the case against Rust armorer Hanna Gutierrez-Reed, who has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering, is set to proceed to trial in December.

Hunter Biden hired a team of high-priced consultants to doctor his Wikipedia page by talking up his supposed charity work and erasing references to business ties between himself, his father’s brother James, and Allen Stanford, a disgraced financier imprisoned for running a $7 billion Ponzi scheme.
Investigative reporter Lee Fang, who previously exposed the federal government’s funding of social media censorship tools that predominantly targeted conservatives, discovered Hunter had hired FTI Consulting to burnish his public image while combing through emails found on the First Son’s laptop.
In addition to deleting references to Stanford, with whom he and James Biden founded PARADIGM Global Advisors, Hunter also sought to scour his article of any mention of the links between the National Endowment for Democracy, where he worked for a time, and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
The airbrushing was done via “sock puppet” accounts designed to appear as though they were operated by regular, anonymous users of Wikipedia. One named “Earflaps” was seemingly tasked with removing negative commentary on Hunter’s relationship with Ukrainian energy corporation Burisma, for example.

Stian Jenssen – chief of staff to NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg – has suggested Ukraine may have to give up territory to the Russians in order to obtain NATO membership and an end to the war. The comments have sparked outrage from the Ukrainian government, though it is an increasingly popular view in the West.
Jenssen stated on Tuesday that discussions concerning the post-war status of the region are already underway, and that a number of people in diplomatic circles have raised the idea of sacrificing territory in exchange for NATO membership.
“I’m not saying it has to be like this. But that could be a possible solution,” Jenssen explained before adding, “it must be up to Ukraine to decide when and on what terms they want to negotiate.”
Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior advisor to President Zelensky, was quick to respond to the remarks, calling the proposal “ridiculous,” with the result representing a defeat for democracy and the destruction of international law.
“If Putin does not suffer a crushing defeat, the political regime in Russia does not change and war criminals are not punished, the war will definitely return with Russia’s appetite for more,” Podolyak added.
Jenssen’s remarks reflect a growing despondency among NATO members about the current state of the war and Ukrainian leadership. Germany has already admitted to becoming “frustrated” with the lack of progress of the summer counteroffensive and has started to blame Ukrainian officers.

All Seasons Press, the publisher of the ‘Tucker’ book by author Chadwick Moore, will make formal representations to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), after the book’s sales rankings appeared to be negatively affected by both Amazon and industry data firm Bookscan, The National Pulse can reveal.
Media outlets such as TheGuardian, Mediaite, and pop-culture media site Uproxx were quick to peddle a false narrative, suggesting sales of the biography were far below expectations. But the biography’s publisher has explained that the numbers were incomplete, specifically pointing the finger at Amazon for questionable sales practices including:
Listing the book as “sold out” but then failing to report those “sales” to Bookscan;
E-mailing preorder customers to ask if they wanted to cancel their orders, then requiring them to go on a desktop computer, rather than a mobile app or website, to proactively confirm they still wanted the book or face automatic cancellation;
Fulfilling orders received after launch before customers who pre-ordered the book.
All Seasons Press also claims to have undertaken a customer survey, which found 40 percent of Amazon preorder customers had not received their copies ten days after launch. “It begs the question: is Amazon intentionally trying to sabotage Tucker sales and bestseller status?” the company asked.
BookScan only reported 3,227 copies sold in its first week, placing it 40th on its bestseller list. This indeed appears to be because Amazon did not register its week one sales to BookScan. If it had, the book would have likely placed between 5th and 7th on the bestseller’s list.
When ‘Tucker’ launched, All Seasons Press stated that over 50,000 units had been shipped to retailers – including 7,523 units sent to Amazon. When Amazon announced the pre-sale of the biography, it reached a #14 ranking among all books on Amazon and held #1 in several sub-categories. On ‘Tucker”s release date the 7,523 copies in stock at Amazon appear to have all sold out in a matter of minutes as they quickly updated the book’s retail page to say it was unavailable.
All Seasons Press told The National Pulse that they have retained counsel and intend to investigate the ranking practices of BookScan. They also said should they discover malfeasance they intend to present said findings to the Federal Trade Commission. The National Pulse reached out to Amazon for comment, but as of publication the retail giant had not responded.

The British are abandoning the country’s so-called “envy of the world” – the socialized and monolithic National Health Service (NHS) – opting instead for private healthcare, mostly due to record length waiting times for routine treatments.
Aviva, Britain’s largest insurance provider, saw health insurance premium sales increase by 58 percent in the first six months of 2023, with both individuals and companies looking to improve both the quality and speed of treatment and consultation.
“You see there the combination of customers [who are] worried that they may not be able to get access to health treatments when they need them,” said Aviva’s chief executive, Amanda Blanc, adding that the company is seeing enormous expansion opportunities.
Thomas Buberl, the chief executive of Aviva’s rival AXA, argued similarly that the current NHS crisis is opening “quite a few business opportunities” to increase the company’s customer base and employees. “With what is happening at the moment, probably the first choice of a doctor that is newly qualified, it would not be the NHS,” Buberl added.
More than 7.6 million Britons are waiting for medical treatment – equivalent to around 12 percent of the population – with nearly 400,000 on standby for heart conditions. Two in five patients have to wait up to 18 weeks to be seen by their general doctor.
