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.

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.

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.

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”.

A former Pakistani international cricketer has been sentenced to 12 years imprisonment in the Netherlands after he placed a three million rupee (then around €21,000/$22,500) bounty on the head of the Dutch populist conservative leader Geert Wilders in 2018.
Khalid Latif, who made 15 appearances for Pakistan across multiple formats of the sport, posted a video targeting Wilders after the Dutch politician announced a contest to depict the Islamic prophet Mohammed – a competition which was later canceled.
A Dutch court found on Monday that the video actively incited violence, murder, and sedition against the politician, stating, “he promises to pay a considerable sum of money to anyone who engages in a specific act, namely the killing of Mr Wilders… It is very likely that someone – anywhere in the world – would feel compelled to act on this call.”
This is the first time the Netherlands has tried a non-national living abroad, as Latif resides in Pakistan. He did not deploy a lawyer at the trial.
Following the decision, Wilders took to X (formerly Twitter) to demand Latif’s extradition to the Netherlands:
“[Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte] and [the Minister of Justice and Security Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius] must put strong pressure on the Pakistani authorities to cooperate in the arrest and extradition of this now convicted criminal, otherwise he will still avoid punishment.”
12 jaar gevangenisstraf voor de Pakistaan Khalid #Latif die een prijs op mijn hoofd heeft gezet! @MinPres Rutte en minister @DilanYesilgoz moeten de Pakistaanse autoriteiten onder stevige druk zetten mee te werken aan de arrestatie en uitlevering van deze nu veroordeelde… pic.twitter.com/qeReBowtBw

Russian President Vladimir Putin has argued that the four criminal indictments of former President Donald Trump amount to the persecution of a political opponent and undermine the American claim to democracy.
Putin made the remarks during an Eastern Economic Forum meeting in the Russian city of Vladivostok on Tuesday morning, telling his audience:
“Everything that is happening with Trump is the persecution of a political rival for political reasons. That’s what it is. And this is being done in front of the public of the United States and the whole world.”
What is happening “is good because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others democracy,” added the Russian President, who has been in power for over two decades.
Putin also went on to explain relations between Russia and the United States were likely to improve or “change radically” in the near future, regardless of who becomes the next U.S. President in January 2025. He also refused to answer whether he would seek re-election during Russia’s elections next year.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani left the 9/11 memorial ceremony early on Monday, protesting the presence of Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Giuliani is credited with his steadfast leadership of the city during the deadly and horrific terrorist attacks 22 years ago.
In an interview with Newsmax host Greg Kelly, Giuliani expressed his concerns about the current state of national security, saying that he believes the country is in more danger under President Joe Biden’s government than it was before 9/11.
Giuliani specifically criticized Harris and Mayorkas, citing the unchecked flow of undocumented immigrants crossing the border without the government having proper knowledge of their identities. He also condemned Harris for comparing the January 6 Capitol riots to the 9/11 attacks and the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which he described as an “unbelievable insult” to the victims of these tragedies.
Giuliani, who was mayor of New York City during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, expressed his frustration with the Democrats’ characterization of the Capitol riots and highlighted the significant loss of life and ongoing health consequences resulting from the horrific attacks on 9/11. He disputed the claim that the Capitol riots were an insurrection and emphasized that no one has been convicted of such a charge.

The Guardian newspaper has laundered a progressive dark money group’s talking points in an effort to undermine an expected U.S. House of Representatives impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, the National Pulse can reveal.
Citing a shadowy pop-up ground known as the “Congressional Integrity Project,” the Guardianargues that Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), who chairs the House Oversight Committee, “has repeatedly overhyped allegations of bribery and corruption against Biden without once producing hard evidence.”
The Congressional Integrity Project, however, is far from a non-partisan public interest watchdog.
Kyle Herrig, who serves as the organizations executive director, is also a former executive director for the powerful progressive dark money clearing house, the New Venture Fund (NVF). The NVF, and its subsidiary organizations, spread millions of donor dollars among radical progressive activist organizations in an effort to influence U.S. politics and elections – and helping to conceal the actual donor sources such as billionaire George Soros.
The New Venture Fund was also linked with 2020’s election rigging processes, partnering with Mark Zuckerberg’s Center for Tech and Civic Life and founding the Center for Secure and Modern Elections, which has lobbied for elections changes that would make voter fraud even easier.
Herrig is also deeply entangled in the NVF network – serving as a senior adviser to Accountable.US, a far-left organization that discourages corporations and individual donors from contributing to center-right non-profits. He also serves on the board of American Oversight, a progressive pressure group that is behind the witch-hunt to force Justice Clarence Thomas off of the Supreme Court. American Oversight, like the Congressional Integrity Project, launders its talking points through the corporate media.
Brad Woodhouse, a former DNC spokesman, also serves on the Congressional Integrity Projects board; while Leslie Dach, a former VP of corporate affairs for Walmart and advisor to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, serves as a senior advisor.
The two most recently available IRS 990 forms for the Congressional Integrity Project show the organization received just two major donations in 2020 and 2021 for $1 million and $500,000 respectively. Public records suggest both donations came from the SixteenThirty Fund which is managed, in turn, by NVF.
At no point did the Guardian reveal any of this information to its readers before publishing its article claiming boosting the work of the Congressional Integrity Project.

Susanna Gibson, a Democrat candidate in a highly contested race for the Virginia House of Delegates, spent her spare time demanding payment for livestreamed sex acts with her husband on the internet. The mother of two and nurse practitioner is reported to have performed the sex acts on the website Chaturbate, where she had more than 5,700 followers. She told viewers she was “raising money for a good cause” in at least two of the explicit videos.
The candidate’s lawyer, Daniel P. Watkins, says they are working with law enforcement and that the dissemination of the explicit videos violates Virginia law which states: “Any person who, with the intent to coerce, harass, or intimidate, maliciously disseminates or sells…” explicit images or videos “…where such person knows or has reason to know that he is not licensed or authorized to disseminate or sell such…” explicit images or videos “…is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.”
At least one individual doesn’t see a problem with Gibson’s secondary career. Adult entertainment industry lawyer, Corey D. Silverstein, responded to the incident saying, “I think it’s fantastic you have someone running who has an open sex life. It’s actually very refreshing.”
Control over the Virginia House of Delegates, the commonwealth’s lower legislative body, will be decided in this November in what is expected to be close election. The Republican Governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, has built a sizable war chest to help ensure Republicans maintain control of the House and hopes to flip the State Senate, ending the current slim Democrat majority.

Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign is expected to fight against California’s new presidential primary rules during the state’s Republican Party convention at the end of September. In July, the CAGOP transitioned to a winner-take-all system, instead of allocating presidential primary delegates by Congressional district. Now if a candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote state-wide, they capture all of the state’s delegates. If no candidate reaches that benchmark, delegates are awarded proportionally.
President Donald Trump leads the field in California by over 50 points, appearing to be on track to secure all of the state’s 169 delegates. DeSantis, polling a distant 2nd place with only 16 percent would be awarded no delegates, angering Tallahassee-based consultants such as Erin Perrine, the official spokesman for DeSantis’s Never Back Down political action committee (PAC).
Perrine – who previously worked for the failed Dr. Oz campaign, as well as Trump’s 2020 re-election bid – said the changes were “Trump-inspired rigging”, arguing the California GOP was “making grassroots involvement impossible.”
The CA GOP says the changes are not for any particular candidate, but instead about ensuring the party is in compliance with new Republican National Committee (RNC) rules. The RNC has emphasized the need for primary candidates to campaign across the whole state and not just specific congressional districts in which they’re competitive.
In late August, Never Back Down ended its paid door-knocking operations in California, as well as in Nevada – another state where the DeSantis campaign is accusing the state party of attempting to rig the election for Trump.
