EXC: Congressman Louie Gohmert Endorses Kari Lake.

Former Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert has endorsed Kari Lake for U.S. Senate, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.

Gohmert, who served in Congress from 2005 to 2023, was a leading Tea Party Republican in the House and even sued Vice President Mike Pence in an attempt to have the 2020 election corrected.

Gohmert said on Thursday: “Kari Lake burst onto the political scene three years ago, and what I saw was a kindred spirit.

“Kari calls it how she sees it. In fact, if you consider constructive suggestions to be microaggressions, then you may find her candid observations sound like booming thunder. And she sees a swampy quagmire in Washington DC that needs to be plowed up and aired out. She’s just the one to do it too.

“In the Senate, Kari Lake will not be converted into yet another hallelujah praise team for the establishment status quo. She knows this country is in a desperate condition that requires steadfast nerves of steel to get us back on track. She’ll help return our nation to its basic principles that cultivate strong families, a secure border, scrutinized conservative spending, and a federal government that protects our Constitutional rights instead of violating them. Kari is the political fighter Arizona and this country needs in the United States Senate, which is why I am proud to endorse her as your next U.S. Senator.”

Welcoming the announcement, Kari Lake told The National Pulse: “Louie Gohmert went to The Swamp promising to fight the status quo and over his 18 years in DC he did just that.

“Like Former Congressman Gohmert, I am unafraid to stand up and speak what’s on the mind of the American people. I share his dedication to preserving our founding principles, and will always fight to protect our families.

“When I get to Washington D.C., I am going to be uncompromising in the defense of Arizona’s freedoms.

“I am proud to have the endorsement of America First freedom fighter Louie Gohmert!”

Jim Jordan WON’T Pursue Third Vote for Speaker.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) won’t pursue a third floor vote for Speaker of the House – although he remains adamant that he is still Speaker-designate and is not dropping out as a candidate. Instead, Jordan will back a resolution being circulated by Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH) that would grant Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC), temporarily, the powers of Speaker – allowing the House to resume conducting legislative business.

The National Pulse previously reported that the elevation of McHenry was one of the likely outcomes of the House deadlock over who should serve as Speaker. McHenry has made a name for himself as the feisty chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and fierce opponent of over-regulation – despite being a leadership loyalist, he’s avoided taking firm stances on some of the more divisive issues in the Republican Conference.

Jordan emerged as the House Republican’s choice for Speaker after their initial candidate, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) was forced to drop out amidst opposition from conservative Members. The race to fill the Speaker vacancy was kicked off just over two weeks ago when Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) successfully used a ‘motion to vacate‘ to oust then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Granting McHenry temporary powers to essentially serve as Speaker will require some Democrat votes. At this time it remains unclear what concessions have been made to Democrats by Republicans – if any at all.

MTG Pushes Censure for Hamas Useful Idiot Rashida Tlaib.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is seeking to censure Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib over her views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, announcing on X that Tlaib is an “Israel hating American hating woman who does not represent anything America stands for.”

Greene – known as ‘MTG’ – blasted Tlaib as the “Hamas Caucus Leader” in Congress after her colleague led a pro-Palestinian insurrection on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

Tlaib has repeated Hamas’ false claim that an Israeli airstrike killed hundreds of people in a Gaza Strip hospital, and criticized President Biden for not showing empathy towards Palestinian civilians.

Prosecutors Drop Felony Charges Against Sidney Powell in Plea Deal Including $6000 Fine and ‘Apology Letter’.

Lawyer Sidney Powell has agreed to plead guilty to reduced charges in Georgia related to efforts to resolve the 2020 election. Powell was charged with violating the state’s anti-racketeering law alongside Trump and 17 others, and entered the plea one day before jury selection was set to begin. Initially charged with racketeering and six other counts, prosecutors allege that Powell participated in an unauthorized breach of election equipment in a rural Georgia county elections office.

The deal marks a significant shift for prosecutors and Powell together, however.

While prosecutors maintain Powell conspired with others to gain unauthorized access to election equipment, she was sentenced to six years of probation, which the New York Times accepts is “a significantly less-severe outcome than she would have faced if found guilty of the charges for which she was originally indicted”.

Powell was fined $6,000 and agreed to pay $2,700 restitution to the State of Georgia, as well as write an apology letter “to the citizens of the state of Georgia.”

RFK Suddenly Wants Reparations for Black Americans, Just as Biden is Losing Them to Trump.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced his support for issuing reparations black Americans, just as recent polling shows President Joe Biden hemorrhaging black votes to former President Donald J. Trump. The CIA-run campaign now believes federal dollars should be used to rebuild black infrastructure such as banks and businesses, and to provide direct redress payments or tax credits to the descendants of victims of Jim Crow.

This week, popular black rap artist ‘Waka Flocka Flame’ endorsed Trump, as an increasing number of Black Americans report they were more financially secure under Donald Trump.

Now, as a result of the clear ploy to use RFK to as a spoiler, anti-Trump candidate, the so-called “independent” is arguing that repair is necessary for communities targeted by discrimination.

Murdoch’s New York Post reported the move as a shift to the left of Biden, with neocon, pro-DeSantis reporter Diana Glebova attempting to insinuate this was not a spoiler move for the communities within which Trump is making historic inroads.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams is Using AI Deepfakes of Himself Speaking Mandarin, Spanish to ‘Robocall’ Residents.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing criticism for having his team create audio “deepfakes” of himself speaking Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Spanish, and even Yiddish in order to spam four million residents with “robocalls” in multiple languages.

Adams, who admits the only thing he can really say in Mandarin is “ni hao” (hello), claims his administration is “becoming more welcoming by using technology to speak a multitude of languages.”

Albert Fox Cahn of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, however, says the scheme is a “creepy vanity project” and “deeply unethical”, not least because the robocalls do not inform residents they are listening to an AI-generated facsimile of Adams, and not the real Mayor.

“Using AI to convince New Yorkers that he speaks languages that he doesn’t is deeply Orwellian,” Cahn said.

Adams, a Democrat who has opposed Donald Trump’s border wall and supported sanctuary city policies, is already facing criticism not just for his role in fomenting the ongoing migrant crisis in the Big Apple, but for admitting it “will destroy” the city if it continues – angering open borders diehards.

WATCH: Trump Lawyer Alina Habba Torches Letitia James in Courthouse Broadside.

Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba blasted partisan New York Attorney General Letitia James over her farcical claims that Trump purposefully overvalued his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida as collateral for loans used in his New York businesses.

“I think you guys need to understand something. Banks hire appraisers…. you are an individual, you go to get something appraised. You say my house is worth X. The bank doesn’t take your word for it. They hire people like that gentleman [an appraiser] to go do their own values,” Habba told the press outside the courtroom. “Now those values are going to be lower than the ones that the homeowner or the commercial real estate owner would use. It is very basic.”

If you take Trump Tower and you take the Trump name off of that building and you put Letitia James’s name on that building.

– Alina Habba, October 2023.

Habba turned her attention to James, stating: “That’s not what this case is about. It has nothing to do with this. Because the statement of financial condition was actually low. The statement of financial condition didn’t include Trump’s ‘brand’… If you take Trump Tower and you take the Trump name off of that building and you put Letitia James’s name on that building, it will not be what it is worth when Donald Trump owns it.”

WATCH:

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron previously ruled that Trump had far-over estimated the value of his Mar-a-Lago property, citing the tax assessed value as only being $18 million. Real estate experts have estimated the property to be worth between $200 million and $750 million – far above the amount decided by Judge Engoron.

More DeSantis Donors Drop, Shift Support to Nikki Haley.

Investor Keith Rabois and his same-sex spouse Jacob Helberg – both strong backers of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis – appear to have defected to the camp of former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, and will be hosting an “intimate private reception” to raise money for her later this month.

“I want to say very clearly that my husband and I are significant supporters of [DeSasntis] and all his policies,” Rabois said as recently as three months ago, adding he and Helberg “think what he’s doing in Florida is the recipe that should be copied in every state – period, without exception.”

With the DeSantis campaign failing to gain traction against Donald Trump, however, this no longer appears to be the case, with the pair’s $10,000-per-head fundraiser for Haley due to take place under the Florida Governor’s nose in Miami.

Rabois and Helberg are “very much on board” with Haley and “really like her,” according to ABC News. At the time of publication, Rabois’s most recent X post was a repost of Nikki Haley’s take on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Haley and DeSantis recently clashed on the subject, making Rabois’s repost particularly pertinent.

They are not the first members of the donor class to have abandoned DeSantis. Ken Griffin, a billionaire money manager who had previously indicated he would help to bankroll DeSantis’s run at the presidency, announced he was “on the sidelines” following the first GOP primary debate, where the Floridian failed to distinguish himself despite Trump’s absence.

“It’s not clear to me what voter base [DeSantis] is intending to appeal to,” Griffin said at the time.

Biden DOJ Pushes For Jan 6 Convicts to Get Even Longer Sentences.

Joe Biden’s Justice Department has filed appeals against the sentencing of Proud Boys handed terms of 15 to 22 years over January 6th, arguing they should be locked up for even longer.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who is approaching 40, was convicted on Civil War-era seditious conspiracy charges and sentenced to 22 years by U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, despite not actually being in the Capitol on Jan 6. Biden’s Justice Department, which asked for 33 years, insists this isn’t enough.

Prosecutors also requested a sentence of 33 years for Joseph Biggs, 30 years for Zachary Rehl, and 27 years for Ethan Nordean. All received long terms of 17, 15, and 18 years, respectively. Ghis has not satisfied the Justice Department, and their sentences are also being appealed.

Defense attorneys have branded the Biden regime’s efforts to increase the sentences “ridiculous,” and expressed confidence their own planned appeals to quash their clients’ convictions will prevail.

FTX Skirted Campaign Finance Laws To Funnel Stolen Customer Funds to Democrats.

Executives at the bankrupt crypto-exchange and hedge fund FTX used employees as straw donors to funnel stolen customer money to Democrat political campaigns in 2022. The revelations come from testimony from Nishad Singh, the company’s director of engineering, at the trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried on Monday.

According to Singh, he acted as a straw donor under the direction of Ryan Salame, another FTX executive. Salame would access Singh’s bank account and direct funds to be sent to a political candidate. Singh would then approve the transaction after Salame notified him through an encrypted messaging app.

“My role was to click a button,” he told the court.

Singh, FTX’s second biggest political donor, handled contributions to Democrats, contributing $418,500 to left-wing candidates and committees – including a $36,500 contribution to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Since 2020, Singh has contributed just under $10 million – mostly to Democrats.

Singh’s donations to Democrat candidates, however, weren’t coming out of his own pocket. “It was useful for my name to be associated with some donations, even if the end recipient understood they were really coming from something else,” Singh testified. Instead, Singh’s bank account received regular deposits from Alameda Research – FTX’s ‘in house’ trading firm. The money Alameda deposited came directly from customer accounts with FTX.

FTX executive Ryan Salame has already pled guilty for his roll in the campaign finance scheme.
