Dozens of Wall Street executives have lined up to funnel as much money as legally allowed to Donald Trump’s rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.
Ron DeSantis, the leading contender to Trump, was a popular choice, attracting 15 significant donations from the likes of Paul Tudor Jones, a hedge fund manager who has previously bankrolled Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Chris Christie.
Nikki Haley also secured 12 maximum donations from Wall Street. Even Vivek Ramaswamy, who has retained a much more positive relationship with Trump than most of the GOP field – and accused Wall Street of having “birthed a new woke-industrial complex” together with Silicon Valley – has received support.
NBC News, which analyzed the FEC filings in collaboration with CNBC, noted that financiers’ backing of Trump rivals is “a continuation of the anti-Trump trend that saw just over $74 million from Wall Street leaders go to support Joe Biden” in 2020 – far greater than the $18 million finance gave to the Trump campaign.

Ron DeSantis refused to fire Dr. Alina Alonso, Palm Beach County’s hard-line, COVID-obsessed health director, who venerated Anthony Fauci as her “patron saint,” donated to Joe Biden during her tenure under Florida’s Governor, and even publicly gloated “I’m not being stopped [from pursuing mass vaccination],” while heckling DeSantis at the height of the pandemic, The National Pulse can reveal.
The news comes as the Florida Governor lashes out at former President Donald Trump for not firing National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief Anthony Fauci.
“Had I been president in 2020, Anthony Fauci would have been fired, and you’ve got to be willing to do it,” DeSantis told Tucker Carlson at the recent Family Leadership Summit. The DeSantis campaign have even created ads for the campaign theme, failing to mention that it was Vice President Mike Pence who appointed both Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx to his COVID task force.
Now it appears that DeSantis failed to fire his very own Fauci in the shape of Dr. Alina Alonso – a leftist apparatchik who worked for her department (since 1989) for almost as long as Fauci did in his (since 1984).
Dr. Alonso, known as “the face of the COVID-19 pandemic in Palm Beach County,” was given free rein during the COVID pandemic to enforce arbitrary restrictions upon millions of Floridians, including the implementation of mask mandates, establishment of a COVID hotline for lockdown snitches, and even creating an armed COVID compliance police force. Under her direction, Palm Beach County even shuttered playgrounds when other areas, including outside Florida, had already reversed on the matter. She was subsequently recognized as USA Today‘s “Woman of the Year” for her work in the country, and gloated: “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. I’m not being stopped.”
Under the advice of Alonso amongst others, DeSantis ordered major shutdowns of Florida’s beaches and businesses in both Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Palm Beach County has seen teachers suspended teachers for failing to comply with mask mandates, including one who was arrested and convicted. The locale also collected $24,500 in COVID-related fines and shut down a staggering 27businesses during Dr. Alonso’s tenure. Yet, DeSantis did little to intervene, with one incident from July 2020 where Dr. Rivkees, then the Surgeon General, had contacted Alonso telling her to stay out of the business of reopening schools, but nothing else and certainly nothing further such as firing Florida’s own Fauci, as DeSantis claims he would’ve done had he been President in 2020. Her role lay directly beneath DeSantis’s handpicked Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo from July 2021.
Alonso very publicly called Dr. Fauci “a national hero and a source of inspiration,” as well as her “patron saint” in an interview with the Palm Beach Post. She even laughed off the idea that DeSantis was a more difficult executive to deal with than Donald Trump, telling a reporter, “[Dr. Fauci] has a harder job than me. I got a piece of cake here.”
Alonso made multiple donations to President Biden throughout her stint as Florida’s Fauci, including six donations of $25, two donations of $237.13, and one of $301.08 – all of which were publicly available at the time. She recently retired of her own volition, heralding the tenure – again, under DeSantis – of Dr. Jyothi Gunta, who Alonso herself claims: “will make a great new director.”

Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy told The National Pulse’s ‘The Campaign Trail’ podcast this weekend that he is not interested in being anyone’s Vice President pick, claiming he is in the Republican primary to win, and will pursue other avenues of making change in America if he does not make it to the Oval Office himself.
“I’m not interested in an ‘observatory role’,” Ramaswamy began, in response to Raheem Kassam’s question: “What if it’s not a cabinet position, but based over at the Naval Observatory – the vice presidency?”
Ramaswamy continued: “…if I’m not successful, I’m gonna change this country in other ways as I have been, in the private sector, I’ve been cranking out a book every six to eight months, I travel the country, I’ve built successful businesses, I think there’s many ways to drive changes in this country.”
“The opportunity to drive change from the White House is actually what pulled me into this race and I gotta be honest with you, my gut instinct… suggests to me that we’re gonna be not only successful in winning the election, but I think winning it in a Reagan-style, 1980s-style landslide.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appears to have hit a new polling low, coming in at just 14 points in a TIPP Insights likely voter poll from early July. President Trump’s lead has increased to 39 points in the data, showing the 45th president with 53 percent, and 37-year-old Vivek Ramaswamy gaining to reach seven percent.
The news comes as DeSantis announces major shake-ups in his campaign due to overspending and fractious donor relations.
TIPP insights was described by the right-leaning Spectator magazine as “the pollster who doesn’t suck,” in 2020.
The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam discussed many of the DeSantis camp’s pitfalls on the latest episode of ‘The Campaign Trail’ podcast and even predicted that DeSantis would be down to 10 percent by mid-summer, in an appearance on Human Events Daily show with Jack Posobiec:

Former Trump Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon has declared a “holy war” against the “deep state” apparatus in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, demanding that Americans become serious about taking the country back, and blasting ‘RINO’ Republicans for trying to stand in the way of President Donald Trump’s route back to the Oval Office.
The former Breitbart Executive Chairman turned host of the War Room, told the audience at the Turning Point USA Action Conference in Florida that Americans have to focus on the “election apparatuses” in the key states of Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona and to get behind the 45th President.
“This is a crusade: this is a holy war against the deep state. Donald Trump is our instrument for retribution… Donald Trump is our instrument for righteous indignation,” Bannon told the cheering audience, channeling the late Andrew Breitbart.
Bannon added he no longer wants to hear from RINOs such as Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin, or Governor of Georgia Brian Kemp after rumors circulated about both potentially entering the Republican primary.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin claims over 100 Western tanks have been destroyed since early July as Ukraine’s ongoing counter-offensive struggles to make headway, with the embattled Russian leader claiming “All attempts by the enemy to break through our defenses – and this is their objective, which includes the use of strategic reserves – they have not been successful for the entire time of the offensive.”
Referring specifically to Ukrainian forces and their new Western tanks, Putin said 311 enemy tanks had been destroyed since July 4th, and that “at least a third of them were made in the West, including Leopards.”
He went so far as to claim the Ukrainians often refuse to man Western tanks, as they are “priority targets” for Russian forces – “and they burn just as well as all the others, in fact better than the Soviet T-72 tanks, for instance.”
While his claims are impossible to verify, pro-Ukrainian observers estimated as long ago as early June that around 15 percent of the American-made Bradley fighting vehicles and half the Leopard 2R tanks supplied to Ukraine had already been lost.
A total of 31 American-made M-1 Abrams tanks promised to Ukraine by Joe Biden in January are yet to materialize, though Ukraine insists it has gained some ground during the counter-offensive, while conceding progress has been slow.

A series of six small earthquakes in Virginia since mid-June has left scientists concerned a larger event may be inbound, with Virginia Tech geophysics professor Martin Chapman warning: “When you see a series of these things in a smaller area, you have to take into account the fact that they may be foreshocks of a bigger earthquake.”
The “burst of activity”, as Chapman put it, is unusual in the Old Dominion, with Virginians typically feeling only two or three earthquakes per year.
“We [need to] take a close look at it and… monitor our instruments a little bit closer to make sure that we’re not missing any more little earthquakes, because if you see a continuous sequence that’s something that you have to pay attention to,” the professor explained.
Virginia suffered its most powerful earthquake since the 19th century in 2011. The 5.8 magnitude quake inflicted up to $300 million in cost on the state and nearby Washington D.C., with homes and schools demolished, a nuclear power plant forced to shut down, and the Washington Monument and National Cathedral suffering serious structural damage.
The 2011 quake was not predictable, however, with no “foreshocks” observed before it hit.

Close to 1,000 illegal aliens who entered Mexico from Guatemala have banded together under a Venezuelan flag and are marching up a highway on the U.S. southern border, even being escorted by the Mexican National Guard.
“We just want to move forward, to fulfill our American dream and work, because we’re all workers here,” claimed a migrant who gave her name as Roseli Gloria in comments to the Associated Press. The Employers’ Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex) recently reported that some 75 percent of the businesses they represent have unfilled vacancies, however.
Encounters between the U.S. authorities and migrants remain near record highs, and are significantly up on 2022. An expected further surge after President Joe Biden allowed Donald Trump-era Title 42 restrictions on illegal immigration to expire has so far failed to materialize, possibly due to the administration hastily assembling a package of replacement restrictions to forestall an embarrassing crisis ahead of an election year.
This has coincided with a wave of resignations among Biden’s top border officials, several of whom were openly pro-migration.

Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis boasted that he was able to draw between 30 and 40 people to some of his campaign events in Iowa over the weekend, as a bizarre way of proving that he has the charisma to become President of the United States.
DeSantis was asked by Fox’s Howard Kurz in an appearance on Sunday whether he thought the media was focusing too much on his personality rather than his policies, and whether he has the charisma and the “common touch with voters.”
In response, the Florida man argued that the media has a “pre-determined narrative” that focuses on “superficialities and trivialities” because he has a “great record to run on” including political and policy success, explaining:
“They used to say the Governor [of Florida] doesn’t do retail campaigning, he’s not gonna be able to go to Iowa, and, you know, yesterday I’m out there doing events, we have 30-40 people at some of these things, shaking hands, answering questions, doing all of that…”
Meanwhile, in DeSantis’ home state of Florida, thousands of people attended former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Turning Point Action Conference in West Palm Beach on Saturday, which DeSantis snubbed.

‘Mohammed’ was overwhelmingly the most common name among those arrested during the recent French riots, reports the French newspaper L’Opinion, which analyzed a sample of the most common monikers amongst over 2,000 arrested throughout the uprisings in late June.
Mohammed appeared 81 times in a sample of 335 arrests, 50 times more than second place Yanis –another name with Arab origins – which appeared 31 times. In fact, several Arab names were prevalent among the random sample of 335, with Yacin appearing 11 times, Ali appearing 13, and Ibrahim at 10.
The names were revealed after the French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin argued that many of the names arrested were more typical French names, including Kevin and Matteo. Yet, neither features prominently in the list revealed by L’Opinion.
“No one can ignore reality anymore… in spite of everything, most of the political class wants to believe that it is a social crisis when the root cause is obvious: immigration,” asserts the former French presidential candidate, Eric Zemmour.
The riots in France were recently compared to the French Revolution of 1789 in terms of scale and destruction by the former French spy chief, Pierre Brochand.
