The allegedly “historic” endorsement of Ron DeSantis by Governor Kim Reynolds in Iowa, where the Floridian has less than half the support of Donald Trump, appears to have been attended by only around 150 people.
A simple headcount of the crowd present for the much-hyped endorsement shows around 150 people, give or take a handful of photographers, journalists, and campaign and venue staff. The modest turnout suggests Reynolds, trailed as a possible running mate for DeSantis, will be unlikely to galvanize a significant increase in support for the Floridian, who is currently on 18 percent in the Hawkeye State.
Trump, meanwhile, is on 44 percent – a much greater gap than the one between DeSantis and Nikki Haley, who is just a few points away from overtaking him at 15 percent.
The Florida Governor’s situation is even more dire in New Hampshire, the other early battleground state in the GOP race, where he is in third place behind Haley, and has at time polled as low as fifth place.

House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) is preparing to serve members of the Biden family at least “two dozen” subpoenas over the coming days in connection to its business dealings abroad, often with hostile foreign countries like China.
“Just like the things with the bank records, there are many more shell companies, many more Bidens involved. Whenever you start digging into the Bidens, you get a whole lot more than you expected,” said Comer in an interview over the weekend following the revelations that the National Archives discovered over 80,000 emails sent or received by President Joe Biden using various pseudonyms last Monday.
He explained only 14 of the 82,000 emails have been handed over by the National Archives, which has “blocked” and “stonewalled” all attempts to access them. “We always get what we subpoenaed,” Comer stated, concluding, “I think you’re gonna see swift action on Biden, and I would predict somewhere around two dozen subpoenas in the very near future.”
The House Oversight Committee dropped other bombshell revelations last week concerning the extent of the Biden family’s financial gains from CCP-linked companies, which saw Joe Biden receive $40,000 after passing through Hunter Biden, James Biden, and James Biden’s wife, Sara.

Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis, a self-styled enemy of woke culture and politics, gave a women’s community spirit award to a transgender activist for the biological man’s contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the Sunshine State last year, lauding the man’s “shining example of a positive role model,” and referring to him as “Ms.”.
Ashley Brundage, a former vice president of DEI in the financial industry and board member of the LGBT advocacy group GLAAD, who claims to have “worked tirelessly to promote awareness and acceptance of gender identity and expression,” received a letter from the Florida Governor after being nominated for the prize. The letter from Governor DeSantis stated:
“I appreciate your dedication and hard work as a mentor and advocate to children and women.”
– Ron DeSantis to transgender man, 2022.
“As Governor, and the father of three children, I believe that community involvement is essential as we work to improve and enrich the lives of others and engage in the issues that impact Florida families… Keep up the great work,” his letter added.
DeSantis has forced his embrace of DEI and transgenderism deep into the closet, preferring to build much of his governorship and presidential campaign around his supposed “anti-woke” policies. He has regularly called for the elimination of DEI in the Sunshine State and remarked earlier this year, for example, “The whole experiment with DEI is coming to an end in the state of Florida.”
Asked by POLITICO to comment on the letter, the DeSantis campaign ignored requests.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is drawing fire from fellow Democrats over her public support for Hamas and refusal to condemn the terrorist organization’s barbaric October 7th attack that resulted in the deaths of over 1,400 Israeli civilians and soldiers. Democratic Majority for Israel, a political advocacy group, has reserved just over $100,000 worth of airtime in the Detroit media market, which comprises much of Tlaib’s congressional district.
The ad, sponsored by Democratic Majority for Israel’s PAC, attacks Rep. Tlaib for taking a number of anti-Israel stances including calling for a ceasefire, her refusal to back a resolution condemning Hamas’s barbaric terror attack, and voting against U.S. funding for the Jewish-state’s Iron Dome – a defense system that protects the country from rocket attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah. “It’s important to us for people who live in the Detroit area to understand what her positions have been and just how out of step and radical her positions have been,” said Mark Mellman, the group’s president. “We hope that will lead her to either moderate her positions or perhaps for someone who is more moderate to be interested in the race.”
Tlaib has drawn criticism from both sides of the political aisle on Capitol Hill since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. Just over ten days after the attack, the Michigan Democrat lead a pro-Hamas protest outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C. culminating in a group of anti-Israel activists attempting to occupy the Cannon House Office Building. At least three protestors were arrested for assaulting a Capitol Police officer.
Last week Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduce a resolution to censure Tlaib over her support for Hamas. The censure resolution was tabled this week after 23 House Republicans joined Democrats to block the measure – an additional 13 Republican lawmakers did not vote.

Democratic strategist David Axelrod has suggested that President Joe Biden should reconsider his reelection plans, citing a recent New York Times/Siena poll showing former President Donald Trump leading in five key states. According to the poll, Trump, the clear frontrunner in GOP polls, is leading in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.
Axelrod, former chief advisor to President Obama, expressed concern about the potential repercussions for the party if Biden, whose team maintains his decision to run is firm, decides to move forward with his campaign. “But the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore,” Axelrod stated on X. He underscored that only President Biden can decide whether to forge ahead with his campaign, a decision Axelrod cautioned requires careful consideration for the best interest of both Biden himself and the country.
Despite this, Axelrod acknowledged that it is late in the game to switch candidates: “I understand that it’s very late to change horses; a lot will happen in the next year that no one can predict.” If Biden remains persistent in his bid for reelection, he will likely secure the Democratic Party’s nomination.

The Republican primary field for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat is starting to take shape with former one-term Congressman Peter Meijer entering the race. The scion of the family-owned Meijer superstore chain joins former Congressman Mike Rogers and former Detroit Police Chief James Craig as the most likely, viable candidates in the primary. While only a handful of Michigan Senate polls have been conducted to date, they suggest the race for the GOP nomination is wide-open, with much of the electorate undecided.
Meijer and Rogers, both “moderates”, have several advantages out-of-the-gate. Each has a degree of political name recognition and established campaign infrastructure from their time serving in Congress – as well as pre-existing donor networks. However, both candidates also face the problem of being viewed as anti-Trump by an increasingly pro-Trump Republican electorate.
Mike Rogers, who chaired the House Intelligence Committee while in Congress, originally contemplated a 2024 presidential primary challenge to former President Donald Trump before opting for the Michigan Senate race instead. “Trump’s time has passed” according to Rogers, who believes the former President’s continued influence over the GOP is “clearly disruptive.”
The aggressively anti-Trump Meijer’s candidacy may be an even harder sell to Michigan Republicans. While in Congress, Meijer was an outspoken critic of Trump and voted to impeach the former President over the January 6th riots at the U.S. Capitol. In 2022, Meijer faced a voter backlash over his impeachment vote and lost his congressional seat in the Republican primary to John Gibbs. Democrat Hillary Scholten would go on to defeat Gibbs in the general election.
Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, while largely a political unknown, is the only of the three candidates running as a pro-Trump candidate. Craig, who served as Detroit’s ‘top cop’ from 2013 until 2021, has made some waves with his tough-on-crime campaign message and a mid-October poll showed him leading the primary with 30 percent to Mike Rogers’s 19 percent. Craig’s lack of political experience, however, may prove a problem for his campaign. He attempted a 2022 run for Governor of Michigan but failed to gain enough valid petition signatures to appear on the ballot – his subsequent attempt at a write-in campaign was met with little enthusiasm.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Ron DeSantis’s taxpayer-funded Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern has claimed Brexit-campaigner and accredited conservative journalist Raheem Kassam (editor of this site) would be “top of the list” for deportation from the United States if the Governor of Florida were to become President in January 2025. His argument appeared to stem from the fact that Kassam does not support DeSantis for President, as well as mocking his colleagues Christina Pushaw and Brian Griffin on social media.
The anti-free speech stance from one of the Governor’s official spokesmen comes as Trump announced mass deportations for illegal migrants in America, as well as Hamas and radical Islam sympathizers. Nonetheless, DeSantis’s official position now appears to be the removal of conservative journalists who didn’t support him.
Redfern, who once demanded Anthony Fauci be given the presidential Medal of Freedom, took time to solicit agreement from rabid anti-Semite and Trump-world reject Pedro Gonzalez, who replied to Redfern: “He has to go back,” to which Redfern added, “Top of the list.”
Gonzales is of Hispanic extraction, and found himself in hot water earlier this year when anti-Semitic and anti-Black messages were found in his chat history. Gonzales recently said: “not every Jew is problematic, but the sad fact is that most are,” adding, “The only tactical considertation [sic] of Jews is screening them for movements… But that is not something for open discussion.”
The messages were extensive, as reported by Breitbart News, which left out the number of times Gonzales also wrote “n*gga” or variants in his chats with friends.
The news also comes a week after former DeSantis ally Randy Fineendorsed former President Donald Trump due to the Florida Governor’s failure to combat anti-Semitism in the Sunshine State. Redfern, a friend of known anti-Semite Pedro Gonzales, currently holds one of the top jobs in the Governor’s office.
Kassam was one of the first conservative reporters to interview DeSantis when he was still a Congressman, as well having shared a platform with him at events on Capitol Hill.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on Donald Trump to visit Ukraine after the former President claimed he would end the war between Ukraine and Russia within 24 hours of re-entering the White House in January 2025.
“Former President Trump said that [within] 24 hours he can manage it and finish the war, for me… he’s very welcome first of all… So I invite President Trump, if he can come here, I will need 24 minutes… not more, to explain to President Trump that he can’t manage this war,” the Ukrainian President explained.
“He can’t bring peace because of Putin if he’s not trying, if he’s not ready to give our territory to this terrible man,” Zelensky added before going on to emphasize the necessity of further U.S. aid and flagging the importance of the next year in combating Russian invasion. He argued that the cost of support would diminish following the upcoming year, assuming the conflict does not extend further.
Zelensky also praised President Biden for his visit in February on the first year anniversary of the conflict, while assuring that the country will not surrender its independence. Zelensky wrapped up his plea to the American public by saying: “Don’t send your soldiers…believe in democracy, believe in Ukraine”.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian and Hamas protesters gathered outside the White House over the weekend, attempting to force the gates open while chanting “Allah hu Akbar” (‘Allah is greater [than your God]’ in Arabic). Footage from Washington, D.C. on Saturday reveals protesters wearing keffiyehs – Palestinian scarves – and climbing on the gates in front of the home of the U.S. President, waving Palestinian flags, and screaming things such as “you stand with genocide” and “f*cking cowards.”
The protest drew tens of thousands of people from across the United States to the country’s capital, with many demanding the Biden government institute a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas under the threat of not voting for the Democrat Party in the 2024 presidential election. Others were seen holding signs reading, “Biden betrayed us.”
“[O]ur message is: No ceasefire, no votes… No votes in Michigan, no votes in Arizona, no votes in Georgia, no votes in Nevada, no votes in Wisconsin, no votes in Pennsylvania,” said Nihad Awad, national director at the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which was an un-indicted co-conspirator in the 2007 trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development.
Protests were not merely limited to D.C., however, as mass pro-“Palestine” demos were held across the United States and Europe on Saturday. A number of Muslim men were seen igniting flares in the German capital of Berlin and attacking police officers in London‘s Trafalgar Square later in the evening.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is likely to receive a polling bump of four percent or less – i.e. within the margin of error – on the back of Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds’s expected endorsement this week. Reynolds, who had originally pledged to remain “neutral” in the race, is being wheeled out as the Florida Governor continues to struggle in battleground states and indeed with his online operation spiraling out of control.
But Reynolds is one of the leastliked Republican governors in the country right now, and pollster Tony Fabrizio has previously pointed out how an endorsement from Reynolds will mean very little to Iowans ahead of the caucuses in January. The same, Fabrizio notes, applies to New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, who DeSantis has spent months wooing.
“When Ron DeSantis finally realizes he can’t win Iowa or New Hampshire on his own merits, he’ll look to his fellow governors as a lifeline… However, what he doesn’t realize is that their endorsements do nothing to change his fortunes. DeSantis is in a house of mirrors, and the only way out is through the floor,” Fabrizio told The Messenger in September.
DeSantis has made numerous attempts to cozy up to both Governors, including suggesting he would nominate Reynolds as his Vice President and recently touring New Hampshire alongside Sununu.
Critics have also noted that there are two critical gubernatorial races on Tuesday – in Kentucky and Mississippi – yet Reynolds, who serves as the Chairman of the Republican Governor’s Association, will snub those races and instead campaign alongside Ron DeSantis.
