DeSantis Says His Own Online Operation is ‘Not His Cup of Tea’ After Nazi Furore.

Governor Ron DeSantis appeared to distance himself from his own online campaign, telling broadcaster Megyn Kelly that the “petty Twitter squabbles” his team engages in are “not my cup of tea.”

The comments came just before a revelation that his official campaign communications team – including Zelensky supporter and right-wing entryist Christina Pushaw – oversaw the production of a infamous Nazi-themed video meme. Worse still, the campaign appears to have blamed a sole staffer, Nate Hochman, when in fact several of the official campaign team were involved.

“[This] belongs in the Smithsonian,” texted Kyle Lamb, the campaign’s research and data director at the time, describing the video that featured a prolonged Sonnenrad – a Nazi and neo-Nazi symbol also recently donned by Ukrainians belonging to the nation’s Nazi-lauding Azov battalion.

Speaking to Kelly this week, DeSantis distanced himself from his campaign’s online activities:

“So, look, we have people that are doing this rapid response. I’m not putting my time into it at all. I mean, you know, they’re going and going back and forth. You know, there’s kind of a battle online. I’m not somebody who’s following that very closely. It’s just not my cup of tea.

“I think that there’s a place for that, but, ultimately, you know, the people in Iowa and New Hampshire, you know, they’re not following the latest Twitter war.”

French Cops Are Giving Up, As Colleagues Are Prosecuted for Stopping Riots.

Police in France are performing bare minimum duties or taking sick leave to protest the jailing of one of their colleagues, accused of hurting a “migration-backround” man during recent riots. While cops in France are not permitted to strike, officers are answering calls from unions to “work-to-rule.”

“Why are we working-to-rule? Because a police officer who leaves his house in the morning may also find himself indicted in the afternoon, and then placed in detention by the evening,” said one officer, who gave him name as ‘Olivier’.

Cops are aggrieved that prosecutors have locked up an officer from the anti-crime brigade, accused of shooting a man named Hedi with a riot gun, as well as beating him alongside three others.

Hedi claims he was innocently walking home from work when the officers struck, and not taking part in recent riots over the killing of Nahel Merzouk, a 17-year-old with a lengthy arrest record who was shot after accelerating through a police stop.

“What’s the goal? Apart from humiliating us and letting offenders think that anything is possible?” one officer said of the decision to detain the policeman accused of injuring Hedi.

The riots, which saw criminals openly shooting out surveillance cameras with illegal firearms or even cutting down their masts with power saws, were overwhelmingly comprised of migration-background men and youths, with ‘Mohammed’ being by far the most common name among those arrested during the disorder.

UK Banks Close 1,000+ Accounts Per Day.

Banks in the United Kingdom are closing more than one thousand private and business accounts every day, according to data obtained by a freedom of information request, which revealed the increasing regularity of the measure against both politically exposed persons (PEPs) and ordinary members of the public.

The total number of account closures exceeded 343,000 in 2022 alone, representing an enormous increase in the use of the measure compared to 2016-17, during which around 45,000 accounts were shuttered. Worse yet, banks often fail to explain why they are closing an account. Instead, they merely inform customers that the account has either closed or will close in the coming months.

Brexit leader turned TV presenter Nigel Farage – whose bank account with Coutts was recently closed due to his political opinions not “aligning” with the bank’s – is now leading a campaign against “debanking” in the UK. Since launching his campaign website, Farage explains:

“I’ve just been inundated by small businesses, by folk all round the country. People in absolute fear, terror, lives being ruined, thousands of businesses being closed. These are people who have done nothing wrong whatsoever.”

– Nigel Farage, 2023.

“I want this to be a turning point in this whole appalling behavior from banks. Whether it’s high-profile figures or people running a fish stall, what has happened within this industry is wrong,” Farage adds.

The British government has condemned banks for closing accounts and is proposing new legislation that would revoke banking licenses from the organizations that close the private accounts of public figures.

Make Flying Unaffordable

30,000 Pilot Shortage + Union Demands Will Make Flying Unaffordable.

Flying in the United States is set to become unaffordable for normal Americans with a combination of severe pilot shortages and increasingly-demanding pilot unions causing ticket prices to soar.

It is estimated that airlines across North America will suffer shortages of around 30,000 pilots over the next decades, as the U.S. is failing to train enough, with others opting to retire early.

“The supply of new pilots will grow, but not enough to offset a continuing wave of retirements,” states the management consulting firm, Oliver Wyman.

Pilot unions are doubling down as a result of the increased leverage and are able to drive a hard bargain in negotiations with airlines. Pilots working for United Airlines, for example, look set to receive a 34.5 to 40.5 percent pay increase over the next four years, with United having to offer other perquisites, including job security and retirement packages, and better benefits and work-life balance assurances. Pilots employed by American Airlines, too, are pushing for better pay and working conditions to match those of United, causing the companies to increase ticket prices to make up for the shortfall.

Though increasingly unaffordable, Americans will still at least have the option to fly. France, by comparison, recently announced a ban on all short-haul flights under two-and-a-half hours in an effort to “reduce carbon emissions.”

Illegal Migrants Could Become Cops in New, Far Left Plan.

Democrats in Illinois are pushing through radical legislation that will allow for non-U.S. citizens and illegal migrants to serve as police officers despite federal law allowing only U.S. citizens to serve as officers or police deputies. The news follows Washington D.C.’s move to weaponize non-citizens against the native public.

Illinois House Bill 3751 will come into force on January 1, 2024 if passed by Governor Pritzker. The bill permits illegal migrants who are undergoing “federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process” to carry firearms and arrest American citizens as part of their duties, provided they are 21 years old. The measure was supported tand affirmed by the Democrat-controlled Illinois House of Representatives and State Senate.

The bill forms part of a “natural progression,” argues the primary sponsor of the bill, Democrat Representative Barbara Hernandez, who highlights the federal government’s 2021 decision to allow illegal migrants to become healthcare workers and members of the U.S. military.

Bill 3751 was one of a number of bills recently passed by the far-left billionaire Governor of Illinois. Pritzker also signed a bill that forbids landlords in the state to consider one’s immigration status when considering potential tenants.

Joe Biden Has Spent 39% of His Presidency on Vacation.

President Joseph R. Biden has spent a whopping 360 days – 39 percent – of his presidency on vacation so far. The president’s time spent away from the White House and his presidential duties has increased from 25 percent of his time – a 56 percent jump in the last two years since The National Pulse last reported on the subject.

Biden spent last weekend sitting on a Delaware beach, and will stay on vacation for a total of ten days. He has admitted that he takes every opportunity possible to go on vacation, stating last year:

“Every time I get a chance, I go home to Delaware… You think I’m joking. I’m not.”

– President Joe Biden, 2023.

President Biden has also spent weeks staying in the homes of some of his largest donors, such as Bill and Connie Neville’s Virgin Islands property, and billionaire David Rubenstein’s Martha’s Vineyard compound.

Biden has often been away during international or domestic emergencies, choosing, for example, to vacation during the international crisis of the fall of Kabul in August 2021. His current holiday coincides with his son Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer appearing for a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee.

DeSantis PAC Spent Near 50% of Donor Cash Through RINO Strategist Jeff Roe’s Firms.

Ron DeSantis’s ‘Never Trump’ chief strategist, Jeff Roe, saw nearly 50 percent of the Florida Governor’s Never Back Down PAC cash flow through his companies, several of which are currently subject to law suits related to a botched ballot initiative in Nevada.

Per campaign finance filings, Roe and his company Axiom – which features a litany of establishment/RINO consultants on payroll – handled $16.4 million of more than $40 million spent in just two months’ campaigning.

The figure includes a whopping $14.8 million of media buys, for which “an Axiom subsidiary took a commission of 1.75 percent for the media placement, or about $259,000,” according to the Washington Post.

Blitz Canvassing, a vendor owned by GP3 – a Soros and Paul Ryan-linked firm first exposed by The National Pulse – was paid $1.2 million over the same period. GP3 also owns pollster ‘POS Strategies’, which has consistently published ludicrous outlier polling attempting to aid DeSantis. POS does not share its raw data, like reputable pollsters.

The DeSantis campaign also spent near $1.5 million on travel expenses and private jets over just six weeks, accounting for nearly 20 percent of its total spending, with the Governor apparently refusing to fly commercial for fear of being around members of the public.

Filings are also set to reveal $5.5 million in dark money donations from a group known only as Faithful & Strong Policies Inc, which was founded in Florida last year. Faithful & Strong Policies has a generic, default website, though National Pulse research reveals the company’s listed officer as Scott Wagner – a Florida lawyer handed a cushy government role by Governor DeSantis in 2019, and who chaired his “transition team” in 2022.

The dark money group’s name change filings also list Jessica Brouckaert, a political lawyer who worked for Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush. Brouckaert is married to Brian Bartlett, also a Romney alumnus, who now works at establishment public relations and lobbying firm Kekst.

North Korea Says It’ll ‘Annihilate’ the U.S. This Century.

North Korea’s Foreign Ministry has promised to “annihilate” the United States through military power by the end of the 21st century. The pledge came during a meeting to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Korean War armistice earlier this week.

“Should the U.S. choose to offend our Republic, we will annihilate them by using all our military power that we have gathered so far,” North Korean diplomats risibly claimed in a statement on Thursday.

“The Korean War in the last century marked the beginning of the downfall of the U.S. Now, the 21st century would see the irrevocable termination of the U.S. The rulers of the U.S. are well advised to forget, on no account, the lessons of history,” the diplomats added.

Leader Kim Jong Un’s anti-American rhetoric has increased following the election of Joe Biden. During Donald Trump’s presidency, the U.S. enforced strict sanctions on North Korea, which forced Kim Jong Un – “Rocket Man” – to negotiate the country’s own denuclearization. Trump was also the first sitting president to enter the country. Since then, North Korea has ramped up its nuclear testing program and made countless international threats.

North Korea was recently elected to the World Health Organization’s Executive Board, despite large proportions of its population being regularly left to starve.

Mystery Chinese Biolab Discovered in California.

Local and federal authorities have discovered an illegal, China-linked lab operating in a warehouse containing bioengineered mice and improperly stored disease samples including COVID-19, HIV, and herpes, in Fresno, California.

Around 1,000 lab mice were found inside the warehouse, 175 of which were already dead. Investigators discovered roughly 30 refrigerators and freezers, incubators, medical testing supplies, 800 different chemicals in various bottles, and at least 20 infectious disease agents identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Fresno County Health staff also “observed blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples and serums; and thousands of vials of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material.”

A person called Wang Zhaolin presented themselves as a representative for the warehouse’s unlicensed tenant Prestige BioTech – a “shady” Chinese company. Wang admitted to investigators that “these mice were genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.” The company has been forthcoming with little else, however. Officials could not find any other Californian address for Prestige BioTech, and the company’s addresses in China were unverifiable, reports NBC News.

The lab was destroyed by officials on July 7, despite the ongoing investigation. “This is an unusual situation. I’ve been in government for 25 years. I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Reedley City Manager Nicola Zieba.

This follows a former Wuhan Institute of Virology employee turned whistleblower claiming that the Chinese Communist Party deliberately engineered COVID-19 to act as a “bioweapon.”

NeoCon Douglas Murray Says Trump Brought Shame on White House.

NeoCon Douglas Murray argues that Donald Trump brought ‘shame’ upon the White House and asserts that Joe Biden’s presidency – unprecedented only in terms of mismanagement, scandal, and alleged financial corruption – has merely followed in the example of the ’embittered’ 45th President.

Murray — who feigns right wing credentials for the sake of book sales — suggests the Democratic argument of ‘what about Trump’ is somewhat comparable to the crooked affairs of Biden and his youngest son Hunter, arguing:

“…for a while, that was almost an argument. Today, Trump has a mounting pile of legal indictments against him, with more to come. They relate to everything from a campaign finance issue which many people see as being overblown to possible charges relating to alleged election-rigging in the state of Georgia.”

He does, however, acknowledge that the charges against Hunter Biden, which include his failure to pay tax on over one million dollars and a felony gun charge, carrying a maximum sentence of ten years, do “stand on their own.”

Murray is an ardent, interventionist neoconservative who has grifted off right wing populist movements despite naysaying them privately for years.

Enthusiastically homosexual Murray predicted eight months ago that Trump’s “psychodrama” would end, paving the way for Ron DeSantis. No such thing has happened.
