Scott Rasmussen’s RMG Research has found Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sinking to just eight points in their latest poll, with former President Donald J. Trump now up to 60 percent of the vote in the 2024 Republican primary. The national survey of 229 likely Republican primary voters places businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in second, with 13 percent support. The poll has a margin of error of 3.1%.
Even worse for the Florida Governor: a full 83 percent of Trump’s supporters said they were “absolutely certain” of voting for him, while just 38 percent of DeSantis’s supporters felt the same way about their choice.
RMG also indicates Republicans holding a five point Congressional Generic Ballot edge over the Democrats – adding that just last month Republicans only had a two point edge.
Polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight’s Republican Presidential Primary model shows as similar trend with Trump holding above 50 percent and DeSantis on a steady decline.
The news comes three weeks after DeSantis slumped into single digits in Ohio. Last week, National Pulse editor-in-chief predicted DeSantis would be a “single digit midget Ron within a couple of weeks”.
WATCH:
RAHEEM CALLED IT BACK IN MAY.
DeSantis 📉: "Remember, we were mid-20s, then slipped a little bit, then into the teens, then 15, then 12, now we're at 10… You'll start to see single-digit-midget-Ron within a couple of weeks, maybe a month's time ." —@RaheemKassampic.twitter.com/1ET8fvZ5i1

Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Six former British police officers have been criminally charged with sending offensive messages in a private WhatsApp group chat between 2018 and 2022, despite all having long been in retirement.
The policemen – all of whom have been charged on multiple counts of sending “grossly offensive racist messages” – allegedly made dozens of “inappropriate communications” and jokes about the British government’s Rwanda asylum policy, floods in Pakistan, and Harry and Meghan Markle, among other things. The BBC, which launched the investigation into the private group chat, has refused to publicly share the messages as they may be considered offensive.
All the officers retired from service between 2001 and 2015 and served for what is now known as the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command. They will appear before the Westminster Magistrates’ Court in September this year.
“As soon as we were made aware of these allegations we acted to launch an investigation. I am pleased that following the determined work of officers we have been able to secure these charges,” stated Commander James Harman, leader of the London Metropolitan Police’s Anti-Corruption and Abuse Command.
It is unclear how the private messages were obtained.
Meanwhile, the collapse in prosecution rates for serious criminal offenses has “emboldened” criminals in London. Only one-in-six criminal offenses involving a knife, including those involving murders, rapes, and grievous bodily harm, resulted in a prosecution as of last year, with as few as one percent of bike thefts resulting in a charge or caution.

Radical climate change activists have come up with a solution to their fears that Venice, the historic Italian city, is slowly sinking into the Adriatic Sea – simply let the city sink. Catherine Bennett laments that, “…as loss and destruction of global heritage sites due to climate change becomes more commonplace, we need to change the way we think about that loss and redefine our notion of failure.”
To this end, Bennett suggests the money used to keep the Adriatic Sea at bay should instead be used to relocate the residents of Venice. Once depopulated, nature would just take its course and over time wash away the over 1,200 year old city.
The idea behind letting Venice sink is called ‘transformative continuity’. According to Bennett, those who support ‘transformative continuity, “…hope that places that have been damaged by climate change can serve as a “memory” and even a deterrent, to prevent the same thing happening in the future.”
Letting go of historic sites and landmarks isn’t just a matter of letting things fade to history. Bennett sees the process as an anti-Western deprogramming: “We also have to detach our sense of national or regional identity from our heritage sites and think outside the modern, Western framework of permanence.” Erin Seekamp, an employee of the U.S. National Parks Service, argues that impermanence is an integral party of Indigenous culture and that adopting such non-Western cultural ideals will be necessary as the global climate changes.
Bennet eludes to a broader program of dismantling Western ideology, concluding that we must adopt a “transformative way of thinking about heritage” regarding historic sites all around the world and that nations should just let their heritage slip below the waves of change.

Chris Christie is eating Ron DeSantis’s lunch in the race for the Republican 2024 presidential nomination in New Hampshire, moving the former Governor of New Jersey into second place behind former President Donald Trump, according to the latest Emerson College polling.
An increasing number of New Hampshire voters have turned to Christie since June this year as the former New Jersey Governor is now polling at nine percent in the state compared to seven percent two months ago. He is leading Florida’s Governor, who has slipped into single digits and is now polling at 8 percent, down from 12 percent compared to June.
Donald Trump remains the clear frontrunner. The 45th President has consolidated his lead from 44 percent to 49 percent over the past two months, indicating that the constant politically-motivated criminal indictments may be assisting Trump’s presidential campaign.
“DeSantis has been the alternative to Trump in Emerson polling this presidential cycle. This is the first time we have seen DeSantis drop out of second place in our polling, and fall back into the pack of candidates,” said Spencer Kimball, the Executive Director of Emerson College Polling, in response to the results.
This follows another poll published earlier this week that had Ron DeSantis falling into third place behind the Republican outsider Vivek Ramaswamy.

Former President Donald Trump held a private town hall with over 130 state Freedom Caucus lawmakers on Monday August 14th, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal. The conversation was facilitated by the new State Freedom Caucus network, which now has 11 equivalents of the House Freedom Caucus across the country, with a plan for all 50 state legislatures.
On the hour-long call heard by the Pulse were some of the most conservative state legislators from South Carolina, Arizona, Illinois, and Idaho, with Trump opening the conversation by calling it “a privilege to address the State Freedom Caucus Network… a very important group of people,” before making an opening statement and going on to take questions from the participants.
The conversation began with a question about Operation Warp Speed and the vaccines, to which the former President lauded governors who allowed the public to make informed decisions for themselves, reminding the audience that he had never supported vaccine mandates. Trump also answered tough questions on his backing of Senator Lindsay Graham, explaining that the South Carolina Senator “does help me with the liberal side of the Republican Party… and even some of the liberal Democrats,” before reminding one South Carolina freedom caucus member: “[Y]ou have a little bit of a liberal bent in South Carolina, and I think its okay if we show a little bit of flexibility.”
Trump’s typical 2016-style pragmatism was on display throughout the conversation seen by The National Pulse, as he discussed ballot harvesting initiatives, future travel plans to states like Idaho, and slammed Joe Biden as a “crooked man, as crooked as a three-dollar bill!”
Some of the President’s more pointed ire was aimed at Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who voted to convict him following the post-January 6th impeachment. “Cassidy’s a very bad guy,” he said, to agreement from the participants.
In closing the call, Trump discussed a recent viral video from Los Angeles, wherein a “pack of young kids,” cleared out a department store while looting in broad daylight. He used the issue as an example of how far the country had fallen under Joe Biden and his “Bidenomics” agenda.
Andy Roth, the president of the State Freedom Caucus Network, told The National Pulse: “It was an honor to have President Trump speak to the State Freedom Caucus lawmakers in our Network… Our members share the President’s desire to take on the Deep State and restore our country’s greatness.” Attendees appeared to enjoy the conversation with the former President, with many lauding him for his fighting spirit, answers to tough questions, and future plans.

Jeff Bezos’s Washington Post, which for years has mocked conservatives for alleging Big Tech biases against them, is now bemoaning what they claim is an effort by Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) to limit web traffic to corporate media outlets. On Tuesday, WaPoclaimed: “The site formerly known as Twitter has added a five-second delay when a user clicks on a shortened link to the New York Times, Facebook and other sites Musk commonly attacks”.
But one of article’s authors, Drew Harwell, has cheered on Twitter’s suppression of conservative voices, with WaPo routinely lampooning conservatives, including then-President Donald J. Trump, for raising the matter of Big Tech bias. The site published the following in 2019:
“Conservatives long have claimed that major social-media sites exhibit political bias, pointing to Silicon Valley’s liberal leanings and regular contributions to Democrats. Beyond that, however, experts have said there is no evidence that Facebook, Google and Twitter have deliberately sought to limit the reach of Republicans, a message that tech giants in attendance on Wednesday emphasized.”
There was, in fact, a mountain of evidence.
Another article boosted then-Twitter’s denial of “shadow-banning” – a practice most knew was used against conservatives, which briefly ended under Musk before his World Economic Forum-linked CEO Linda Yaccarino effectively reinstated it under a “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach” policy. Another WaPo piece gave cover to Twitter in 2019 for its inherent biases.
In fact, a cursory glance through the Washington Post‘s own site search function reveals dozens if not hundreds of articles cheering on the censorship of conservatives, or Trump himself, with one declaring: “Twitter’s Trump ban is even more important than you thought” and another which says Twitter actually went “easy” on Trump, despite banning the President.
On January 8th, 2021, WaPo columnist Graham Lampa declared: “Donald Trump’s Twitter account should belong to all of us,” making the case for some kind of public ownership of the property. Instead, it seems, it is the Washington Post that has been owned.

Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has argued that people must start adapting their behavior in favor of ‘total transparency’ to fit into the modern world.
Schwab, the son of a Nazi collaborator and leading proponent of “the Great Reset,” made the remarks in an unearthed interview with Swiss television, during which he explained:
“In this new world, we must accept transparency, and I’ll even say total transparency: Everything is going to be transparent, and you have to get used to it, you have to behave accordingly.”
– Klaus Schwab, 2016.
“It becomes, how should I put it, integrated into your personality, but if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn’t be afraid,” Schwab added, in comments that sound eerily like the beginnings of a global social credit score system, where people are ranked by their conformity to government demands.
Schwab’s WEF is in the process of “accelerating” the implementation of the globalist Agenda 2030 after progress slowed down during the COVID-19 pandemic. The WEF is also behind the push to reduce car ownership by 75 percent by 2050, as well as the recent crackdown on free speech on X (formerly Twitter).

Governor Ron DeSantis’s Super PAC boldly announced 99 new Iowa county chairs last week, leading to revelations that Washington county chair Matt Wells had recently called Trump supporters “degenerates” and told leftist media outlets that he would not “piss on Trump if he was on fire.” Now, another of the Florida Governor’s picks has declared himself a hardline ‘NeverTrumper’, in comments unearthed by The National Pulse.
Ryan Frederick, who chairs the Never Back Down PAC in Adair County, Iowa, described himself as a “party loyalist” in comments to the press, but declared on X (formerly Twitter) that he “will resign as a county party chairman and probably not participate in the party apparatus again until people come to their senses,” in response to a Trump primary nomination.
Frederick, who has lauded the British monarchy “the ultimate form of government” for “national prestige and accumulat[ing] wealth and status through stability,” also railed: “If we think for 5 minutes that Trump is somehow superior to DeSantis, we don’t deserve to have a political party. The man is a farce, and always has been.”
In a comment to The National Pulse, Frederick elaborated: “I wouldn’t say my mind is totally made up on that point, but I’ve been a county party chairman for nearly 20 years, and frankly I think we’re foolish if we think Donald Trump is a better candidate than Ron DeSantis. The most important thing this party has to do right now is to nominate someone who can win the election next year, and the obvious choice is Gov. DeSantis. We have the opportunity to make generational change and to move the Republican Party light years into the future, rather than brooding on the past. If we squander that opportunity, I’m not sure I’ve got energy left to continue at the level I’ve been involved heretofore. Simple as that.”
Several of Never Back Down’s county chairmen in Iowa appear to be NeverTrumpers, including Joel Kurtinitis (Dallas County) who penned lengthy articles against Trump in 2016, and Matt Wells, who has lambasted Trump supporters in worse-than-Clintonian terms as “degenerates”.

West Yorkshire Police in England have quietly dropped their criminal investigation into a girl dragged from her home by seven officers and held in custody for 20 hours for saying a policewoman looked like a lesbian, with the mother promising legal action.
The unnamed 16-year-old was arrested for a “homophobic public order offence” after saying without malice that a butch female officer with a man’s haircut looked like her lesbian grandmother. This generated considerable backlash against the force, which already has a poor reputation for its refusal to tackle Muslim rape gangs.
West Yorkshire Police initially put out a statement defending the arrest and insisting video of the incident lacked context. Now, however, they have quietly dropped their investigation into the girl, issuing a statement on social media (with reply functionality turned off) in which they avoided apologizing but appeared to implicitly accept the situation was badly handled, claiming they “appreciate the understandable sensitivities around incidents involving young people and neurodiversity and… are genuinely committed to developing how we respond to these often very challenging situations.”
The autistic girl’s mother has told the press she is seeking “legal advice” and complained that the police refused to allow her to sit in as her daughter’s “appropriate adult” when they interviewed her.
“They were frightened I was going to tell the truth about what the officer had done. That is why I put a complaint straight in,” she said.
“They have obtained bodycam footage. They must have viewed it because I understand the complaint has gone straight upstairs to an official who deals with policing standards on a national basis.”
UK 🇬🇧, this may be one of the most uncomfortable videos I've had to watch. This is what hate speech legislation that prioritises certain groups over others, looks like in action, poor child 😢 @HMcEntee#binthebillpic.twitter.com/u7B54r7BJ0

The Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn, one of four Inns of Court to which all English barristers (litigators) must belong, is scrapping its centuries-old tradition of saying grace before meals to be more “inclusive”.
For hundreds of years, judges, lawyers, and law students at the Inn offered the following traditional Christian prayer before meals:
“Lord God, Heavenly Father, bless us and these Thy gifts which we receive from Thy bountiful goodness, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.”
This will now be replaced with a secular alternative, to appease atheists, Muslims, and other non-Christians:
“In this moment of silence, let us give thanks for all that we are about to receive and for the company of this Honourable Society.”
The 15th-century institution was clear that the change is designed to purge the “explicitly Christian” language of the traditional prayer in favor of “a non-Christian ‘thanks’ because of our diverse range of members with a different range of beliefs.”
England remains a nominally Christian country, with the monarch swearing Christian oaths and the established Church of England sending bishops to the Upper House of Parliament – but it is secular in practice, with Christians being arrested for offending homosexuals and Muslims.

Many people are shocked to learn that because of active censorship, we currently have to spend more time making sure you can even see The National Pulse, than on producing the news itself. Which sucks. Because we do this for the truth, and for you.
But the regime doesn’t want you being informed. That’s why they want us to go away. And that will happen if more people don’t sign up to support our work. It’s basic supply and demand. So demand you get to read The National Pulse, unrestricted. Sign up, today.
We don’t sell ads, and refuse corporate or political cash. It all comes down to you, the reader. I hope you can help.
