WATCH: DeSantis’ Campaign Will Be Described as an ‘Historic Clusterf*ck’.

Editor of the National Pulse Raheem Kassam believes Ron DeSantis‘ 2024 presidential nominee campaign will go down in American history as an “historic clusterfuck,” after the Florida Governor’s campaign has completely failed to gain momentum and alienated swatches of voters.

Speaking to Donald Trump Jr on his “Triggered” podcast,  Kassam explained that historians will likely see the campaign as “maybe the biggest fail in modern American political history given the great expectations.”

“I think probably the best way to describe it is an historic cluterf*ck, I think that’s probably as accurate as you can be with it.”

– Raheem Kassam, September 2023.

Kassam – perhaps the only political pundit to accurately predict how DeSantis’s campaign would go – also explained how he foresees the Florida Governor’s chief strategist Jeff Roe, selling off his ‘Axiom’ consulting firm after the presidential campaign.

KASSAM: Don’t Call Them ‘RINOs’ – Call Them ‘Conservatives Under Notional Terms’.

Editor-in-chief of The National Pulse Raheem Kassam joined Donald Trump Jr. for a new episode of the Triggered podcast, telling the 45th President’s son it is time to retire the moniker “Republicans In Name Only” (RINOs) in favor of “Conservatives Under Notional Terms” (CUNTs).

“You know, people like to say ‘RINOs’… I have a different phrase that I like to use for them, I wonder if you can figure out the acronym: It’s ‘Conservatives Under Notional Terms’.”

Don Jr. was both amused and enthusiastic: “So much better. Can we just please replace ‘RINOS’ with Conservatives Under Notional Terms? It’s so much better, it’s so much better,” he said.

“I know there’s five percent of the people that have a problem with language, and I get it… but we’ve got bigger things to worry about. It’s much better phraseology for, essentially the same thing – the same thing with an exclamation point,” he added, comparing it to the involuntary rebrand of Jeb Bush as Jeb! in 2016.

Kassam, for his part, argued his terminology was simply “more accurate” for the people being described.

“They’re not rhinos, are they? They’re not big scary creatures that actually make a dent in anything and can chase anybody off. They’re frauds, they’re phoneys – they’re Conservatives Under Notional Terms.”

EXC: DeSantis PAC Chair Claimed ‘Sizzler’ Certificate was Business Degree.

One of the chairmen of Ron DeSantis’s Super PAC ‘Never Back Down’ attempted to pass off a training certificate from the ‘Sizzler’ restaurant chain as a business degree when running for office in Iowa, The National Pulse can reveal.

Mark Chelgren, one of a number of controversial county chairmen for the DeSantis PAC in the Hawkeye State, is a former State Senator who was exposed as having burnished his resume by claiming to have a “degree” in business from Forbco Management – a now-defunct company that ran a Sizzler franchise.

“This was a management course he took when he worked for Sizzler, kind of like Hamburger University at McDonald’s,” admitted a spokesman for the Republican Party in Iowa at the time, confirming Chelgren got a “certificate” rather than a degree.

Chelgren, who approved the bogus biography, played dumb after the ruse came to light, suggesting he didn’t know “a degree and a certificate are different.”

His biography also claimed he “attended the University of California at Riverside majoring in astro-physics, geo-physics and mathematics,” and biographies elsewhere claimed he received a full degree from that institution. He later admitted he did not actually graduate from the University of California.

Chelgren exited the Iowa Senate in 2019, and failed to win reelection to the Iowa House in 2022. He is now the chairman of the Appanoose County, Iowa ‘Never Back Down’ operation.

Police Raid Blows Lid Off Extensive 2020 Michigan Voter Fraud.

Newly revealed police reports have exposed evidence of extensive voter fraud in Michigan – and perhaps other swing states as well – perpetrated by an organization tied to Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.

Michigan law enforcement launched an investigative task force after a Muskegon city clerk observed a woman, about a month before the 2020 general election, drop off upwards of 10,000 suspected fraudulent voter registrations. The registrations appeared to all have the same handwriting, with some also having non-existent addresses listed for the supposed voter.

Over the course of their investigation, Michigan law enforcement raided the offices of GBI Strategies – an organization found to be the employer of the woman who had originally produced the completed voter registrations to the clerk. The raid revealed a stockpile of semiautomatic weapons, pre-paid cash cards, burner phones, and additional voter registration forms. Despite the raid, no arrests were made and the investigation was turned over to the FBI where it appears to have been buried without further action.

Trump warned of Michigan voter fraud ahead of 2020 election.

GBI Strategies is a Tennessee-based campaign group with deep ties to Democratic campaigns and committees, including Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign. In 2020, the organization received $2,117,605 in payments from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee as a vendor; as well as $1,031,856 from the DNC Services Corporation, $493,100 from the Democratic Party of Iowa, and $450,000 from Biden for President. GBI Strategies appears to have worked on voter outreach and registration drives for Democrat candidates across the country, raising concerns that other incidents of widespread fraud may exist outside Michigan.

LISTEN – Ron Paul: ‘It’s Going to Get Worse’.

Former Texas Congressman and conservative-libertarian legend Ron Paul has warned that America’s economic and political situations are “going to get worse before they get better,” in a formidable interview for the Steak for Breakfast podcast.

The Steak for Breakfast episode also features Ambassador Carla Sands, the anonymized men’s blogger ‘Raw Egg Nationalist‘, and the Heritage Foundation’s Richard A. Stern for the inside scoop on the budget and debt deal negotiations taking place in D.C.

Arguments for and against the deal between President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy are considered from an America First perspective on the show, which can be heard here.
