EXC: Iowa Voter Who Asked Trump Border Question Blasts DeSantis for Weaponizing Her Comments.

An Iowa voter who asked Donald Trump a question about border security on Friday has slapped down the DeSantis campaign for trying to use the moment to attack the former president, The National Pulse can exclusively report.

Kelley Koch, the Dallas county GOP chair, said late Friday night: “What the DeSantis Team did was wrong. They misconstrued my question in a desperate attempt to attack President Trump. This must be corrected.”

She continued, in an extraordinary rebuke of the DeSantis campaign tactics, especially from a local party official in Iowa: “Iowans don’t like these dirty tricks to score political points. Securing our border is a serious issue and President Trump had it 100 percent secured. The first day of the Biden administration they stopped building and the people of Arizona who I met with have been hurting ever since. The fentanyl coming across our border is a national crisis.”

Commenting explicitly on the answer she got from Trump on Friday, Koch said: “President Trump’s answer was right on the money and I hope to not see another low blow like this from Team DeSantis.”

The news represents yet another campaign flub from DeSantis, who has been embroiled in local astroturfing scandals, as well as recently releasing what was described as the gayest anti-gay ad against Trump.

Jan 6 Crowd ‘Filled With Federal Agents’, Tucker Recalls Capitol Police Chief Interview Which Fox News Killed.

Former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson has recalled the Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund telling him that the crowd on January 6th was “filled with federal agents,” in a stunning interview that was killed off by Rupert Murdoch and Paul Ryan’s Fox News.

Speaking to comedian Russell Brand, Carlson said: “They immediately recoiled when you asked any questions about January 6th, and that was a tip off to me. I mean I had no thought in my head as I watched this happen on television and in the subsequent weeks that US law enforcement or military agencies had anything to do with it. That never crossed my mind. I never thought that there was it was a false flag or anything like that. I’m not a conspiracist by temperament. I never thought that. And then in an interview, that was never aired on Fox by the way – I was fired before it could air. I’m going to interview him again, but Steven Sund was the totally non-political – he worked for Nancy Pelosi, I mean this was not some right-wing activist – he was the chief of the Capitol Police on January 6th. And he said, ‘Oh yeah yeah yeah that crowd was filled with federal agents’. What? Yes. Well he would know of course because he was in charge of security at the site.”

The National Pulse first reported Sund’s finger pointing at Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell over two years ago. At the time, Sund recalled a conference call with Pentagon officials and D.C. government representatives. He said on the call: “I am making an urgent, urgent immediate request for National Guard assistance… I have got to get boots on the ground.” But the request was denied over “optics.”

Around $5,428,579 has been spent so far for “permanent indefinite funding” between November 18th 2022, and March 31st 2023. This includes $2.6 million for personnel and benefits, and around $1.8 million for litigation and tech support.

CBS News reports that “another $3.8 million was spent on FBI and U.S. Marshal Service personnel connected to the two Smith probes for investigative matters and protective details.”

Biden’s DOJ has even spent a whopping $150,230 on travel related to the investigations against Trump.

WATCH LIVE: Trump Set to Blast DeSantis at Iowa ‘Farmers for Trump’ Launch.

Former President Donald J. Trump launches his Farmers for Trump group in Iowa, and is expected to insist on his status as “the most pro-farmer president you’ve ever had in the White House,” while touting the achievements from his first term, when the “Department of Agriculture cut seven old regulations for every one new regulation, saving farmers and taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year.”

Trump is also expected to blast his primary opponent Ron DeSantis, at length, referring to him as a “globalist sellout and Paul Ryan acolyte who’s in the pocket of his Wall Street donors at the Club for No Growth,” according to remarks seen by The National Pulse, ahead of the speech.

“DeSanctus opposed my China tariffs, and he heartlessly opposed my $28 billion dollars in relief payments to protect our farmers from Chinese abuses. While DeSanctus sided with the Communists in China, I sided with the Farmers in America,” the former President is expected to say.

“Every Iowan also needs to know that Ron DeSanctimonious totally despises Iowa Ethanol. He has been fighting for years to kill every single job supported by this vital industry.”

In juxtaposition, Trump will tout his record repealing Obama’s Waters of the United States rule, as well as his achievements killing NAFTA as well as pointing out Joe Biden’s record which he will call “a non-stop war on American Agriculture.”

Big Tech Spent $250M to Buy Off The U.S. Congress.

Big Tech corporations including Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook spent at least a quarter a billion dollars killing legislation aimed at regulating their censorship of conservatives, as well as generally reining in their power.

Republicans concerned about censorship worked alongside Democrats championing unions to pass bills with bipartisan majorities. None of them made it to the floor of either chamber of Congress, despite public support for regulating Big Tech.

Democrats are reluctant to aggravate Silicon Valley at a time when Big Tech continues to toss cash at the party and wage and ideological war on alleged “hate speech” and “misinformation”. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi raised millions from tech bosses before breaking a promise to put the bills before the full House of Representatives as Speaker. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer privately assured tech donors that the Senate bills could not overcome filibustering – possibly influenced by the employment of one of his daughters by Facebook and another by Amazon, for whom she is a registered lobbyist.

Congressional Republicans display compromised, too. Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s top fundraiser and confidante Jeff Miller counts Amazon and Apple as two of his biggest clients. One of McCarthy’s first acts upon replacing Pelosi was to demote Rep. Ken Buck, who had led Republican efforts on Big Tech regulation, in favor of Rep. Thomas Massie, a “libertarian” who insists Big Tech should not be subject to “Big Government”.

‘Experts’: Don’t Worry About Our Mosquito Experiments, It’s Climate Change Causing Malaria!

Experts are blaming the first malaria outbreaks in Texas and Florida in 20 years on climate change, and not the genetically-modified mosquitoes being released in the Florida Keys by a Bill Gates-backed biotech firm.

“The prediction from climate change scientists is that we are going to see this greater spread of vector-borne diseases in places where we have previously eliminated [them],” asserted epidemiologist Jackie Cook.

Establishment “fact-checkers” were quick to deny any link between then malaria outbreaks and the release of genetically-modified mosquitoes by a company funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Associated Press, citing the foundation, insisted it “has not funded any work involving mosquito releases in the U.S.” – although it does fund Oxitec, a biotech firm which is “releasing modified mosquitoes in Florida as part of a disease-control initiative”.

Oxitec – in a “trust the science” kind of claim – says it is is “scientifically impossible” for their mosquitoes to transmit malaria.

Bill Gates enthusiastically backs a mosquito factory in Colombia, which breeds 30 million of the creatures a week, releasing them in hopes they will mix with wild mosquitoes and pass them bacteria which hinders the transmission of Zika virus and dengue fever to humans, among other ailments.

Gates once personally let loose a jar of mosquitoes on his audience during a TED talk, in which he acknowledged that you “have to be careful” when it comes to malaria and mosquitoes because “the parasite evolves and the mosquito evolves.”

Illegal Migrant Gets Life Sentence for Raping 9-Year-Old.

Gerson Fuentes, a 28-year-old illegal migrant from Guatemala who raped and impregnated a nine-year-old girl in Indiana, has been handed a life sentence, with a requirement to serve 25-30 years before he becomes eligible for parole. Judge Julie Lynch hinted she wanted to give Fuentes a firmer sentence, accepting a plea bargain at the request of the victim’s family to spare her from having to testify but calling it a “very hard pill for this court to swallow.”

“Anyone who’s ever been in this courtroom for the last 20 years knows how this court feels about these babies, young people, being violated,” the judge said. “However, today, by the request of the family, this court will be sentencing without comment – and everyone knows how hard that’s going to be, because the court considers this the worst of [offenses].”

Fuentes, who was the boyfriend of his victim’s mother, came to national attention due to the girl having to travel out of state for an abortion. This became widely known as a result of her doctor disclosing her situation to the press after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The doctor was later reprimanded for violating patient privacy laws.

Almost Half of US Drinking Water Contains ‘Forever Chemicals’.

Toxic ‘forever chemicals (PFAS)’ have been discovered in up to 45 percent of American tap water, according to a study published Wednesday that studied 716 locations and found 70 percent of urban areas were contaminated. Just eight percent of rural areas featured the same problems: “forever chemicals” in drinking water in cities, towns, the Great Lakes and Great Plains, public systems, and even private wells.

The substances found “repel oil and water and do not break down in the environment.” They are strongly linked to a long list of health problems, including cancers, fertility issues, and liver damage.

Yet, the US government has not prohibited companies from dumping such chemicals into public wastewater systems. Forever chemicals are used in furniture, cookware, waterproof clothing, packaging, and cosmetics.

The findings “can be used to evaluate risk of exposure and inform decisions about whether or not you want to treat your drinking water, get it tested or get more information from your state,” argues the study’s leading author, Kelly Smalling.

“What this study has shown us is that even though it’s estimating that 45 percent of US taps could have at least one PFAS, we also show that there are huge swaths of the country where PFAS was not detected, and I think that’s good news,” Smalling added.

REVEALED: Election Officials Lobbied for Colorado’s BAN on Hand-Counting Votes.

Colorado legislation supposedly aimed at increasing election security effectively outlawed hand-counting ballots in most of the state, and election officials are the ones who requested the ban.

The Colorado Election Security Act (SB22-153) was drafted in response to Mesa County clerk Tina Peters allowing election skeptics to replicate hard drives to check for evidence of fraud. SB22-153 contains a number of provisions, with the state government mostly focusing on those outlawing replication, and banning people convicted of insurrection or sedition from becoming election officials.

At a meeting of the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED), Colorado’s elections director Judd Choate said “probably… the most important part” of the law is a rule most missed or ignored: an effective ban on hand-counting ballots almost everywhere in the state.

Choate said the ban was included at the request of the Colorado County Clerks Association, to stop “the election denial world” from “badgering” officials to hand-verify votes tabulated by machines.

As a result, any county with over 1,000 registered voters must tabulate votes using machines, and election officials asked to verify controversial results by hand-counting can safely say they are legally unable to comply.

At the same conference, Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger – who recently said “tough noogies” to Ph.D. scientists who fear voting machines are riddled with “critical vulnerabilities” – was hailed by election officials as having “saved democracy” in 2020.

NASED is currently in the news for lobbying the federal government to tell voters it is not a problem that they will not update voting machines to meet new federal standards in time for the 2024 election.

Asked About His Poor Polling, DeSantis Gloats About His Corporate Cash.

When asked by Fox News host Will Cain about his struggling poll performance with Republican voters, the Florida Governor pivoted to boasting about his fundraising haul, mostly provided by corporate donors including many linked to globalist ideology, as questionable election practices.

Fox’s Cain predictably soft-balled DeSantis, telling him how much he likes him, before asking: “Why is it in your estimation the numbers have not reflected your success in Florida?”

DeSantis’s non-answer was more of an answer than you might first think.

“Did you just see the news today about the record fundraising haul we’ve had? Nobody’s been able to match that in the history of modern presidential politics,” DeSantis said. “So we’ve got a huge amount of support to be able to take the case to the people.”

In other words: cash is more important than sentiment amongst likely Republican voters.

DeSantis’s cash haul has come mostly from a transfer of cash from his Florida campaign, as well as globalist donors such as Ken Griffin.
