DeSantis Spox Admits Trump’s Nomination ‘Seems Inevitable’.

Steve Cortes, the ” national spokesman” for the pro-DeSantis SuperPAC Never Back Down, has admitted a presidential rematch between Donald Trump and Joe Biden “seems inevitable,” during an appearance on the Chicago’s Morning Answer. While laying out the case for Florida Governor DeSantis, Cortes claims voters do not want to see a rematch of 2020, though let slip that Trump’s primary victory appears all-but-certain.

“You mentioned earlier about dissatisfaction with a Trump-Biden rematch. On most polling, roughly two-thirds of Americans… do not want that rematch. It is a rematch that nobody wants yet it seems at this moment to be inevitable,” Cortes told the radio hosts before going on to pitch DeSantis an alternative. The show hosts were quick to point out that much of the Republican establishment appears to have moved on from DeSantis, with many even favoring the candidacy of former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

“DeSantis is now not a clear-and-away second place candidate. He’s fighting for second place. And then whoever’s there, if they can establish some separation, then they’ve got 20, 30, 40 points to go to get to Trump.”

Cortes conceded the situation is “a tough one for Ron DeSantis.”

Biden Spox Says Joe Was on Hunter’s Business Calls Because Beau Biden Was Sick.

White House spokesman Ian Sams is claiming that the reason President Joe Biden was on his son Hunter Biden’s business calls, and in his meetings, is because the Biden’s are a “close-knit family” and the then-Vice President’s other son, Beau, was battling brain cancer. The move represents yet another occasion of the Bidens using Beau’s death for political ends.

“He calls his son every day to check in. He calls his other family members to check in to see how they’re doing… they’re a tight knit family,” claimed Sams in an interview with CNN, adding, “He was checking in with Hunter during a particularly hard time, I might add, a time where the family was going through Hunter’s brother, Beau’s illness.”

Sams comments came in response to the impeachment inquiry against President Biden announced by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday. The White House spokesman argued that Republicans were “baselessly” targeting Biden and “…[g]oing after him without any evidence just to try to score political points… .” Sams went on to deny that Biden’s Department of Justice afforded Hunter Biden any special treatment relating to its investigation of him and the subsequent failed ‘sweetheart’ plea deal that was thrown out by a federal judge.

President Biden’s problems in Congress are only mounting, however. Prior to the impeachment inquiry announcement, the House Oversight Committee revealed that while serving as Vice President, Biden used several pseudonyms to communicate with his son Hunter regarding business arrangements. The Committee is currently demanding the National Archives hand over un-redacted copies of those communications and documents.

No More Mitt! Romney Won’t Seek 2024 Re-Election.

Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney, 76, announced on Wednesday that he will not seek re-election in 2024, bringing an end to his decades-long career as a milquetoast Republican who has, more often than not, empowered and enabled the political left in America.

The news comes shortly after Utah Republicans signaled the need for fresh representation, unhappy with Romney’s antagonistic behavior towards former President Donald J. Trump.

Citing his age as rationale, Romney said he would be in his mid-80s by the end of another Senate term. In a video posted to X, he took shots at both Joe Biden and Donald Trump:

Romney’s decision comes as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis attempted to open a new front on Donald Trump, declaring him too old for office, and even criticizing the nation’s founders for failing to prohibit people over the age of 80 from assuming the Oval Office.

Biden Leans on Media to Attack Republicans Over Impeachment.

Joe Biden is using the apparatus of government to lean on legacy media outlets, telling them how they should be covering the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into the business dealings of the President, his son Hunter, and brother James, declaring it is “time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans”.

Biden special assistant Ian Sams has written to outlets including CNN, Fox News, and the New York Times insisting that the impeachment inquiry is “based on lies” and that “[c]overing impeachment as a process story – Republicans say X, but the White House says Y – is a disservice to the American public who relies on the independent press to hold those in power accountable.”

Sams, whose employers are the people in power, complained that “in the modern media environment, where every day liars and hucksters peddle disinformation and lies everywhere from Facebook to Fox, process stories that fail to unpack the illegitimacy of the claims on which House Republicans are basing all their actions, only serve to generate confusion, put false premises in people’s feeds, and obscure the truth.”

The intervention comes as a federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that the U.S. government violated the First Amendment, which protects freedom of the press and freedom of speech, by putting “unrelenting pressure” on social media platforms to suppress “millions of protected free speech postings” about the FBI and Hunter, COVID-19, and vaccines, among other topics.

Schumer: Biden Impeachment is ‘Witch Hunt’.

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has ironically labeled the GOP-lead impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden’s crooked financial affairs a ‘witch hunt,’ despite his own party having spent the last eight years politically persecuting former President Donald Trump.

Schumer, who twice voted to impeach the 45th President and was one of the leading proponents of the Russian collusion hoax, told the press after Speaker McCarthy announced the inquiry:

“I think the impeachment inquiry is absurd. The American people want us to do something that will make their lives better, not go off on these chases and witch hunts.”

– Sen. Schumer, September 2023.

“I have sympathy with Speaker McCarthy, he’s in a difficult position. But sometimes you got to tell these people who are way off the deep end, who have no interest in helping the American people, who just want to pursue their own witch hunts—that they can’t go forward,” Schumer added.

Schumer is yet to protest the unprecedented political step of criminally indicting a former U.S. President on four occasions, led by President Biden’s Department of Justice, which has spent a whopping $10 million pursuing Donald Trump.

Gaetz Blasts McCarthy for 8 Months of Propping Up Biden, Threatens Motion to Vacate.

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) took to the floor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday to blast Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for not upholding his end of a hard-won agreement with conservatives that gave him the speakership.

“The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate total compliance or remove you, pursuant to a motion to vacate the chair,” Gaetz warned McCarthy, before adding, “I know that Washington isn’t a town where people are known for keeping their word. Speaker McCarthy, I’m here to hold you to yours.”

“The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate, total compliance or remove you.”

– Matt Gaetz, September 2023.

Amongst Gaetz’s concerns has been McCarthy’s unenthusiastic push for the impeachment of President Joe Biden, despite several House committees presenting mounting evidence that Biden and his family enriched themselves turning his tenure as Vice-President from 2009 to 2017. Additionally, Gaetz believes McCarthy has abandoned conservative efforts to cut reckless spending. In just over two weeks, funding for the federal government will run out – starving the deep state of money – unless Congress passes a continuing resolution to keep the government open while they continue to hammer out twelve major appropriations bills that are expected to be voted on later this Fall.

Earlier this year, Kevin McCarthy was elected Speaker of the House by the new Republican majority after a grueling fifteen rounds of voting. The California Republican faced fierce resistance from conservative members of the Republican House Conference who consider McCarthy to be a political moderate who caves too easily to House Democrats and President Joe Biden. However, after cutting a deal with conservative members, including naming several to the powerful House Rules Committee and lowering the threshold to hold a vote to remove the Speaker to a motion by a single House member, McCarthy was finally able secure the votes to attain the Speakership.

DeSantis Blames Founding Fathers for Failing to Age-Disqualify Donald Trump.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has told CBS that former President Donald Trump 77, is too old to serve another four years in the Oval Office. DeSantis said the presidency is not a job for someone in their 80s, and even argued that America’s Founding Fathers were deficient in not adding an upper age restriction to run for the White House.

“We need an energetic president, and I think that if the Founders could kind of look at this again, I do think they probably would have put an age limit on some of these offices,” DeSantis told the corporate media outlet on Tuesday.

DeSantis’s comments are especially bizarre when considering he claims his political hero is President Ronald Reagan, who served until nearly 78, at a time when life expectancy was over half a decade lower than today.

DeSantis’s attacks on failure of the Founding Fathers to preemptively disqualify Trump reveal his increasing desperation, with his chief strategist Jeff Roe admitting two weeks ago that the team only had 60 days left to turn their failing campaign around.

Former President Trump, who is currently leading in the polls, has responded to criticisms of his age, challenging several individuals including Rupert Murdoch to mental acuity tests.

DATA: 70% of Americans Want Term Limits for Congressmen.

More than two-thirds of Americans from across the political spectrum – 70 percent – would support introducing term limits for Members of Congress, including 68 percent of Democrats and over three-quarters of Republicans at 76 percent, according to a recent survey from Rasmussen Reports.

Only 15 percent of Americans would oppose such a step, comprised of 18 percent of Democrats and 13 percent of GOP voters. A further 15 percent told pollsters that they were not sure.

Rasmussen also asked the 1,062 likely U.S. voters: “How likely is it that Congress will vote to place meaningful term limits on members of Congress.” A total of 73 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of Democrats answered that it was unlikely, including 42 percent of both party bases answering “not at all likely.”

Less than one-quarter of GOP voters – 23 percent – believed it is likely, with 27 percent of Democrats concurring. Only eight percent of Republicans and 11 percent of Democrats thought it “very likely.”

The advanced age of America’s senior politicians has been increasingly questioned, with figures such as Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (81), President Joe Biden (80), and California Senator Dianne Feinstein (90) showing obvious signs of ill health. The 83-year-old Nancy Pelosi also announced this week that she will run for re-election next year.

Trump ‘Must Die In Prison’, Says Muslim MSNBC Columnist.

Dean Obeidallah, a long-term Palestinian-American columnist for MSNBC, and radio host on SiriusXM, has argued that former President Donald Trump be given a long enough sentence that he dies in prison in order to “protect democracy”.

Obeidallah responded to a guest on his radio show about “how conservatives would react” if Biden said Trump could die while in jail, to which he stated:

“I think Donald Trump must die in prison because – I don’t care if he was 45 years old. You should get life in prison if you attempt a coup, and there should be no chance of parole.”

“Either we’re gonna protect the democrat republic or allow people – in this case Trump – to chip away at our democracy… that’s why I’m so passionate with every fibre of my being,” Obeidallah added.

Despite backlash over his comments, Obeidallah doubled down in a Substack article, arguing that Trump dying in prison would “send a loud and powerful message” to Americans that they would meet the same fate if they tried something similar. Donald Trump faces 641 years imprisonment if the 45th President is convicted on all charges brought against him by the four criminal indictments.

‘No Labels’ Strategy is To Let Congress Install Hand-Picked Globalist President.

Establishment politicos are grooming a ‘No Labels’ presidential candidate to disrupt the 2024 election and pave the way for Capitol Hill to parachute a neoliberal or neoconservative Commander-in-Chief into the White House, National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam recently revealed to Donald Trump Jr. on an episode of the latter’s Triggered podcast.

No Labels is a so-called “centrist” group headed by former Democrat fundraiser Nancy Jacobson, which may run Democrat lawmaker Joe Manchin as an alternative to Joe Biden and Donald Trump in 2024.

While some conservatives believe a Manchin run would peel votes from Biden, Kassam explained that Democrats and Republicans In Name Only – or “Conservatives Under National Terms” – believe he can also peel votes from Trump in key areas:

“What they’ll do is try to run people like Manchin in West Virginia, with the idea of pulling votes away from Trump, and they’ll do the same to Biden where it makes it so that neither of the candidates reach the 270 votes that they need to win the Electoral College,” Kassam warned.

This would allow the House of Representatives, which the Democrats expect to take back in 2024, to pick the President, and the Senate to pick the Vice President. This means Capitol Hill could not only dispose of Trump, but possibly get rid of the increasingly embarrassing Biden and his unpopular running mate, too,

“What do the No Labels people really care about the most? Is it the good of the American people? Or is it this amorphous idea of ‘rules-based global order’?” asked Kassam, stressing that their focus is “never the importance of the nation-state… it’s less America, more the world; less populism, more globalism.”

He predicted that escalating the Ukraine war and other neocon policies would be on the agenda early on under a Capitol Hill candidate – and this is reflected in No Labels’ manifesto, which speaks of being “prepared to fight a two-front war against Russia and China”.
