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.

Belgium – The Size of Maryland – Might Break Up Over Immigration.

Mass migration is accelerating the nation of Belgium’s break up, with populist independence parties for the Dutch-speaking north ready to separate from the French-speaking south. The country is approximately the same size as the state of Maryland, with a population the size of Ohio.

Home to the European Union’s de facto capital of Brussels – a French-speaking island in the Dutch-speaking Flanders region – as well as NATO’s headquarters, Belgium is currently experiencing an immigration surge on par with the migrant crisis of 2015-16.

Problems with migrant integration have long been apparent in Belgian society, with riots in France over a police shooting recently spreading to Brussels for no other reason than the fact they involved a migration-background youth. Raheem Kassam, editor-in-chief of The National Pulse, was covering the formation of no-go zones in Belgium as long ago as 2017.

The country’s Dutch-speaking Flemish have had enough, with the so-called “far-right” Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest) party poised to become to biggest in the country in next June’s elections.

“We believe Belgium is a forced marriage,” says Vlaams Belang leader Tom Van Grieken.

“[W]e have to come to an orderly division. If they don’t want to come to the table with us, we’ll do it unilaterally,” he warns.

Historically, Belgian politics has been dominated by French-speaking Wallonia, but it has lost its grip on power in recent years. The Belgian government, currently comprised of a seven-party coalition, is highly dysfunctional, and the country has gone as long as 652 days with no one in charge due to politicians with highly divergent beliefs being unable to reach compromises following national elections.

Bank Boss Apologizes to ‘Debanked’ Farage, But Won’t Reopen Account.

Dame Alison Rose, chief executive of NatWest bank, has written to Nigel Farage apologizing for her subsidiary Coutts closing the Brexit leader’s account for his associations with Donald Trump, Novak Djokovic, as well as his public criticism of Black Lives Matter and other far-left movements.

The bank initially leaked to the BBC that Farage’s account had been closed for “commercial” reasons, which the publicly-funded broadcaster regurgitated uncritically. The BBC has now accepted this is inaccurate after Farage produced evidence that Coutts debanked him because “his publicly-stated views [are] at odds with our position as an inclusive organization”.

Dame Alison apologized for these “deeply inappropriate comments,” claiming they “do not reflect the view of the bank.”

“I believe very strongly that freedom of expression and access to banking are fundamental to our society and it is absolutely not our policy to exit a customer on the basis of legally held political and personal views,” she said – but an offer to reopen Farage’s shuttered Coutt’s account was explicitly not extended.

Notably, the BBC published its inaccurate report about Farage being debanked for commercial reasons a day after its economics editor Simon Jack, who wrote the report, sat next to Dame Alison at a dinner event. Farage is continuing to press her on whether the CEO herself planted the false story.

“Can I ask you, Dame Alison, was it you? Was it you that breached my private client banking confidentiality? Was it you that told Simon Jack that?” he asked.

“I’m going to find out… I’ve put in another subject access request, this time to NatWest bank and in particular I’m looking for any personal correspondence, Dame Alison, that concerns me,” he added.

DeSantis Drops MORE Delegates, Hits ANOTHER All-Time Low.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s campaign is already “on the brink,” and now faces another humiliating weekend of news after his GOP delegate number forecast plummeted to another all-time low of just 259, with the governor losing nearly a hundred votes in the past week alone. The news comes as yet another poll, this time from Harris-Harvard, shows DeSantis pulling in just 12 percent of support.

Florida’s Governor lost even more delegates over the past week in a direct DeSantis-Trump head-to-head forecast, collapsing from 530 last week to just 346 this week – representing a catastrophic loss of over 1000 delegate votes since the end of February this year. Former President Donald Trump collected the majority of the votes, and is now predicted to receive a whopping 2,116 delegate votes in the full-field forecast and 2,110 votes in the DeSantis-Trump head-to-head forecast.

Only 1,234 votes are needed to guarantee the Republican presidential nomination.

DeSantis has already taken to shedding staff in an effort to save his floundering presidential campaign after his campaign has hitherto failed to gain any real grassroots support. He has now begun parroting Democrat lines about Jan 6th in order to give him a boost in the polls, to little avail.

FBI’s Burisma Cover-Up Swung 2020 for Joe Biden, Evidence Suggests.

The FBI’s failure to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden’s blatant Ukrainian bribery scheme appears to be prima facie evidence that the tax payer funded bureau willfully deceived the American public in order to place the elder Biden in the White House.

This week saw the release of FD-1023, an unclassified but long hidden FBI document in which a source described to the agency how Burisma chief executive Mykola Zlochevsky bribed Joe and Hunter Biden with millions of dollars.

The Daily Mail summarized the contents best, revealing:

  • ZIochevsky ‘didn’t want to pay the Bidens and says he was ‘pushed to pay’ them’;
  • Asked whether Hunter or Joe told him to retain Hunter on the board, Zlochevsky replied: ‘They both did’; 
  • The source asked why Burisma didn’t just ‘pay some attorney $50,000’ to fight Shokin’s investigation in Ukraine, to which Zlochevsky replied that ‘he/Burisma would likely lose the trial because he could not show that Burisma was innocent’;
  • When asked how he would  ‘explain suspicious wire transfers’, he responded that he ‘did not send any funds directly to the ‘Big Guy’ (which CHS understood was a reference to Joe Biden)’;
  • He added that it would take ’10 years to find the records (ie illicit payments to Joe Biden)’;
  • In a follow-up call, Zlochevsky boasted that Shokin had been fired, there was no longer an investigation into Burisma, and ‘nobody would find out about his financial dealings with the Bidens’;
  • He added that, as back-up to his claims, ‘he has many text messages and a total of 17 ‘recordings’ that show he was coerced to make the payments’.

The investigation mentioned relates directly to then-former-Vice President Joe Biden’s open admission to having used U.S. government loans as leverage by which to have Ukraine’s prosecutor investigating Burisma fired.

FD-1023 was only shown to members of the House Oversight Committee after FBI boss Christopher Wray was issued a subpoena. Senator Chucck Grassley’s public release of the document brings it out for the first time – infuriating the FBI, whose failure to investigate the source’s allegations now looks like the most serious case of election interference in the United States in decades.

Zelensky Fires Top Diplomat Who Criticized His Sarcastic Ingratitude.

President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Ambassador to the Court of St. James – Vadym Prystaiko – has been fired by the Ukrainian president for admitting Zelensky should not have responded with “unhealthy sarcasm” when asked to show more gratitude by Western leaders.

Speaking at the recent NATO summit in Lithuania, Britain’s Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said “people want to see a bit of gratitude” from the Ukrainian government. He complained of making an eleven-hour journey to Ukraine only to be presented with a list of more demands for money and materiel, and having to push back: “I’m not Amazon.”

“How else can we show our gratitude? We can wake up in the morning and thank the minister,” Zelensky publicly mocked, in response to Wallace. “Let him write to me and tell me how to thank him.”

Zelensky’s own Ambassador pushed back against the entitled and petulant behavior of the man who has been accused of intervening in military decisions to the detriment of his country’s war effort.

“I don’t believe this sarcasm is healthy,” Prystaiko said. “I don’t think we need to show the Russians there is something between us. We’re working together, Ben [Wallace] can call me and tell me anything he wants to.”

Wake Up at 4, Be at Work By 6am to Tackle ‘Climate Change’, Says Study.

Businesses should shift working hours from the traditional 9-5 to a 6am-2pm system, which would avoid employees switching on air conditioning, claims a new study from the University of Oxford.

Scientists are pushing for a similar working routine to Spain, which makes changes to working hours in the summer months instead of creating a “vicious cycle” and taking the “easier option” with people working in offices switching on air conditioning and therefore using more energy.

The UK, alongside Switzerland and Norway, is “traditionally unprepared for heat” says the report, because buildings have been designed to insulate. These countries must prepare for the “largest relative cooling demand surges,” says author Dr. Jesus Lizana.

Lizana argues: “It is quite common for outdoor workers in July and August (e.g. builders, agricultural workers) to shift to an early starting hour – like from 6 am to 2 pm – to avoid working during the hottest hours of the day.”

Switching working hours would represent one of many “immediate and unprecedented climate adaptation interventions [that] are required worldwide to be prepared for a hotter world,” the scientists conclude.

This is the latest recommended extreme measure to mitigate hot weather, such as the World Economic Forum’s demands to reduce car ownership by 75 percent by 2050 and the French government’s decision to ban short-haul flights.

This will sound great for the early risers (and early sleepers), but I suspect is going to be wildly unpopular for the massive groups of people who hit the sack between 10:30pm and midnight, since many would have to be up by 4:30am to make it to work on time

College-Educated Republicans Drop DeSantis En Masse, Joining Non-College Grads in Their Trump Support.

College-educated Republicans have now joined their non-college-educated cohorts in supporting former President Donald J. Trump over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, according to three new Republican primary polls and previously unpublished data from McClatchyDC.

DeSantis dropped a whopping 18 points amongst college-educated Rs over the first half of 2023 according to Morning Consult, while Ipsos concurred the governor had more than halved his support amongst the same group since mid-March. Quinnipiac showed DeSantis with 51 percent of support amongst the college-educated in February, down to just 29 percent today.

“College-educated Republicans were looking for an alternative to Donald Trump, and they initially thought Governor DeSantis, after his 19-point win in Florida, made for a good one,” Whit Ayres, a GOP pollster, told the Miami Herald.. “But the way he has run his campaign, constantly tacking to the right, has turned off many of those people who were initially attracted to him.”

Ayres comments imply the college-educated group were looking for more of a common sense candidate to support, and found DeSantis to be far more ideological, and far less pragmatic than they originally hoped. The news comes as DeSantis announces yet another campaign shake-up, with Donald Trump now performing better with non-college and college-educated Republicans.

MORE WAR? Biden Deploys Amphibious Assault Ships, Marines to Middle East.

U.S. President Joe Biden is deploying more warships and an expeditionary force of U.S. Marines to the Middle East ahead of a potential showdown with Iran, with part of the BATAAN Amphibious Readiness Group/Marine Expeditionary Unit (ARG/MEU) including the USS Bataan and the USS Carter Hall joining the mission.

The Bataan, described by the U.S. Navy as its “finest amphibious assault ship,” is designed to “enable the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps team to accomplish a seamless transition from the sea to a land battle.” The Carter Hall, similarly, is designed to “transport Marine personnel, landing craft, vehicles, and cargo [and] land them ashore using landing craft and helicopters in support of military and humanitarian assistance operations”.

They join the USS Thomas Hudner guided missile destroyer and a force of F-35 and F15 warplanes, the deployment of which was announced a few days prior.

The Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) say the force’s purpose is to deter Iranian interceptions of tankers and other ships in and around their territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman.

“These additional forces provide unique capabilities [to] further safeguard the free flow of international commerce and uphold the rules-based international order, and deter Iranian destabilizing activities in the region,” said Central Command (CENTCOM) chief General Michael Kurilla.

Trump Turncoat Bill Mitchell Loses His Own ‘C-Word’ Poll.

Former Trump supporter-turned-DeSantis sycophant Bill ‘Biff’ Mitchell has been left with egg on his face after attempting to mount a pressure campaign to have Donald Trump disavow The National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam over his traditional British use of “the c-word”.

Mitchell launched a poll on Twitter, where he supposedly has over 410,000 followers, asking: “Should President Trump disavow misogynist [Raheem Kassam] for constantly using the c-word in his posts while attacking DeSantis supporters?”

It’s unclear why DeSantis supporters are – like the far left – now trying to label Kassam a “misogynist” as well as a “racist” and “homophobe”, but Mitchell’s attempts failed spectacularly. He lost his own poll by a landslide 78 to 22 percent after almost 4,000 votes.

Far from being disavowed by Trump, Kassam received a personal shout-out from former President Donald Trump at his screening of Sound of Freedom in Bedminster later the same day.

The humiliating defeat underlines how little clout Mitchell has, especially after his decision to turn against Trump in favor of DeSantis in January.

In 2016, Mitchell was over-the-top in his feigned devotion to Trump, wearing a Super Bowl-style ring with ‘PRESIDENT TRUMP’ engraved on it and claiming to “live vicariously” through the MAGA kingpin. Now, Mitchell says he agrees with DeSantis that Trump “should have done more” to stop January 6th.

Whether Mitchell was ever an asset to the Trump camp is an open question, as much of his former notoriety was owed to those who found him ridiculous and regularly shared his content for the purpose of mocking him.

Mitchell has claimed he will “retire” from commentary if Ron DeSantis does not win the Republican nomination, which appears to have driven him to an increasingly delusional perspective on the GOP primary, insisting the Florida Governor is “everywhere and killing every interview” as well as “owning [the] media” despite his dismal poll numbers and repeated campaign reboots.
