AUDIO: DeSantis Fans *CRY* Before Debate, Endorse Forfeit to Biden Over Trump.

A supporter of Ron DeSantis began crying at the thought of former President Donald Trump winning the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election, even admitting they would prefer having no nominee and gifting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris another four years in office as the Florida Governor’s campaign continues to collapse.

The woman in question is a regular participant in pro-DeSantis X (formerly Twitter) Spaces discussions alongside staunch DeSantis accounts, including ‘KaladinFree’ and Bill “Biff” Mitchell. Just before Wednesday night’s debate, she broke down:

“We have a chance to get out from under Trump and MAGA, and I know a lot of people give [KaladinFree] a hard time… but this is important, like I know people give me a hard time, sometimes [KaladinFree] a hard time, but this is our defining moment, and Trump cannot be the nominee.”

“I’m with [KaladinFree] in that I would rather him just not have a nominee than let Trump continue this destruction on the hope of our party,” she added.

Crying has not been absent from the DeSantis campaign after the Florida Governor himself almost broke down on Fox News last month after being asked what was going wrong with his anemic presidential campaign.

‘N*ggas 4 Trump’ Activist Says Trump Charges ‘BS’ and ‘Puppet’ Fani Willis ‘Full of Sh*t’.

A black Donald Trump supporter in a ‘N*ggas 4 Trump’ shirt made a bizarre splash outside the Fulton County Jail Thursday, ahead of the former president’s arrest and mugshot. The man – who would initially only describe himself as a “n*gga for Trump” – blasted Democrat prosecutor Fani Willis as “full of shit”, and revealed that his sister used to go to school with the Georgia prosecutor.

“Fani Willis, she went to school with my sister. She’s full of shit. She was full of shit then. She’s a puppet for the white liberal that is controlling everything; she’s in front but the white liberal back there is pulling those strings, telling her what to do,” said Derrick Gibson, who later identified himself as a former NY political candidate.

Asked why he was there protesting in favor of Trump, the man said: “You wanna know why I’m here to support President Trump? Because they done did a black man like this for decades. Making up charges. I know Trump is innocent. I support Trump against this corrupt two-tier justice system, that’s why I’m here to show my support as a black man for Trump, and I’m wearing my shirt ‘Niggas 4 Trump 2024’ – and I mean that,” he said.

Trump Mugshot ‘Will Be On Posters In Dorm Rooms’, Says Daughter-in-Law.

Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, said the family plans to celebrate his upcoming mugshot and predicted the photo would become popular as a poster in dorm rooms and on t-shirts. Lara Trump described it as “the most famous mugshot in the history of the world” and said it would be seen as a symbol of support for Donald Trump.

Former President Trump, along with Rudy Giuliani and 17 other associates, was indicted in Georgia earlier this month on charges related to alleged election interference. Trump is facing 13 charges, including engaging in a conspiracy to replace public officials with fake electors and altering the vote count.

The mugshot of former President Donald Trump, as he prepares to turn himself in to face charges of election interference in Georgia, is expected to become an historic moment. Trump’s bond has been set at $200,000 and comes with certain conditions, including a prohibition on intimidating co-defendants, witnesses, or victims.

Despite his legal troubles, Trump remains on the campaign trail and in pole position in the GOP primary. Recent polls also show him defeating Joe Biden in 2024.

The Georgia indictment is the fourth criminal case brought against him since March, making him the first former US president to face criminal charges. In addition to state charges in Georgia and New York, Trump has also been hit with federal charges in Florida and Washington DC.

Ramaswamy Passes Ron With Bookmakers After GOP Debate.

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has surpassed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the odds of a leading bookmaker to take the second spot in the Republican primary behind former President Donald Trump, following the first debate. Ramaswamy, 38, made made an impression on Republican voters during the debate, calling the “climate change agenda” a hoax and arguing for a cessation of aid to Ukraine. Trump remains the frontrunner in the Republican primary with 52.1 percent support, followed by DeSantis with 15.2 percent and Ramaswamy with 9.7 percent according to FiveThirtyEight’s polling average.

A recent YouGov/CBS News poll found that Trump supporters trust the former president more as a source of true information than their family, friends, and religious leaders. In the poll, 71 percent of respondents said they feel Donald Trump tells them the truth, while 63 percent said the same about family and friends. Members of the conservative media received 56 percent trust, and religious leaders received 42 percent. So-called “experts” in the corporate media claim that this reflects the strong cult of personality around Trump and the ‘authoritarian’ nature of the modern GOP.

The results of a Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom Iowa poll show that 40 percent of respondents have already decided which candidate to support in the Republican primary, while 52 percent remain open to changing their choice. When it comes to the most important factor in choosing a candidate, 29 percent prioritize backing someone who can win a general election, while 65 percent prioritize finding a candidate who agrees with them on the issues. The poll included 2,061 respondents and was conducted between 16 and 18 August.

DeSantis Chief: ‘We’ll Have As Many Restarts As Trump Has Indictments’.

Jeff Roe, chief strategist at the pro-DeSantis SuperPAC Never Back Down, bizarrely mocked former President Donald Trump for his pursuit by President Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice, appearing on CBS news to gloat: “Well, I guess we’ll have as many restarts as they have indictments… I guess is how that will go.”

His comments came after he was pressed on how badly his campaign was doing, and asked how many more “resets” they were going to have.

Roe’s comments are sure to alienate even more supporters of former President Trump, as well as leave DeSantis donors scratching their heads wondering why they bother with such a nasty and dysfunctional campaign.

Over the past several weeks, the DeSantis campaign has had several major staff shake ups: including the demotion of campaign manger Generra Peck – replacing her with 35 year old James Uthmeier, said to be merely a proxy for Roe – as well as hiring Jeb Bush ally, and NeverTrumper Jose Oliva as a senior advisor and spokesman. Prior to that shake-up, the DeSantis campaign fired the Governor’s speech writer for creating a campaign backed social media video that featured Nazi imagery.

Meanwhile, Roe’s behavior has become increasingly erratic, culminating in an August 10th social media meltdown wherein Roe offered corporate media outlet Puck $11 million to stop writing stories about him.

The apparent chaos within both the Never Back Down PAC and the DeSantis campaign may explain, in part, the continued decline in support the Florida Governor has seen in recent polling. Multiple national and state primary polls now show DeSantis falling from second place to third – and in one poll even fourth – place. Both the FiveThirtyEight and the RealClearPolitics polling averages show a steady decline in support for Governor DeSantis since he officially announced his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination

Trump Tucker ‘X’ Interview Nears 250M Views.

Former President Donald Trump’s interview with Tucker Carlson has so far received over 200 million views on X (formerly Twitter) within the first day of its release, generating far greater engagement and interest among the American electorate than the first Republican primary debate hosted by Fox News.

The interview has also received a staggering 200,000 reposts and more than 650,000 likes so far. The former President mocked the debate’s viewership without him, telling Carlson: “We’ll get bigger ratings using this crazy forum that you’re using than probably the debate, our competition.”

The 46-minute conversation between the two addressed a number of issues, including the death of Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Barr’s weakness, and whether the former President fears for his safety. The pair talked January 6th and the 2020 presidential election, as well as keeping the FBI and CIA under control, and of course Biden’s incompetence.

Even X owner Elon Musk jumped into the discussion, responding to the post: “Interesting to hear things directly vs through the media filter.”

The interview was released the night before Trump is due to report to the Fulton County jail following his latest criminal indictment for alleged election interference.

Trump Aide Jason Miller Tells Farage: Trump Talked ‘Extraterrestrials’ with Tucker.

Trump campaign senior advisor Jason Miller, appearing on GB News with Nigel Farage, dropped a few hints about what to expect when Tucker Carlson’s interview with former President Donald Trump airs tonight: “I think we might get some long awaited answers to extraterrestrial life.”

Miller went on to emphasize that, while there are a few fun questions on topics like UFOs, the former President is making his pivot to the 2024 general election, revealing that Trump has some “pretty tough words” for President Biden and Vice President Harris. “There is a very serious policy discussion about where America has gotten off track, what we have to do to get back,” Miller added.

In a preview posted on Instagram by Tucker Carlson, the former Fox host presses Trump on a range of issues including why he declined to participate in the first Republican primary debate, if he thinks the Democrats will try to steal the election again in 2024, and if he believes Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. Carlson bluntly asks the former President, “Do you think we’re moving towards civil war?”

One major issue Trump will address is his hostile relationship with Republican Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell – revealing in the preview that McConnell was actively whipping GOP Senators to vote to impeach and remove him from office while he was President.

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Trump at his Bedminster, New Jersey estate will air on X (formerly Twitter) at 8:55pm (ET), just ahead of the first Republican primary debate, airing at 9:00pm (ET).

hunter

Hunter Travelled to at Least 13 Countries with VP Biden.

Newly reviewed video footage, Secret Service records, and messages from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop reveal that he traveled to at least 13 countries with his father, Joe Biden, while the latter served as Vice President of the United States. The trips took place when Hunter was involved in his now-defunct firm Rosemont Seneca Partners, and included nations in Europe, Central America, Africa, and Asia. In one instance in April 2010, Hunter proposed traveling to Serbia with his father and business associate Mark Doyle, who was a registered foreign agent for Serbia at the time. The meeting fell through after a change in Hunter’s travel schedule.

During the Asia trip in December 2013, Hunter requested Secret Service protection, including during his visit to the Philippines, where he served as chairman of the World Food Program. Two years later, he accompanied his father on a Thanksgiving trip to Croatia and Italy, where he appeared in family photos. Hunter also traveled with Joe Biden to Germany in February 2013 for the Munich Security Conference. During that trip, Hunter introduced his father to his Chinese business partner, Jonathan Li, with whom Hunter’s firm Rosemont Seneca was securing a partnership. Hunter also traveled to Japan and South Korea during the same Asia trip, though he did not return home with his father.

Throughout the Obama administration, Hunter attended several White House state dinners and events recognizing foreign leaders. Footage aired on Fox News showed Hunter in Germany, Japan, China, South Korea, and Italy during his father’s visits abroad.

BREAKING – Rudy Giuliani Mugshot Emerges As Democrats Arrest Greatest Ever U.S. Mayor.

Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, traveled to the Fulton County jail in Georgia today were he surrendered himself to law enforcement. Shortly after being booked in, a mugshot of Giuliani – who led New York City through its darkest days following the 9/11 terror attacks – was published.

The former New York Mayor told the gathered press that he felt like he was defending the rights of all Americans against the enemies of the Republic.

“I feel very, very good about it because I’m defending the rights of Americans,” he said outside of his Manhattan apartment on Wednesday morning, adding: “I’m the same Rudy Giuliani that took down the mafia that made New York City the safest city in America.”

Giuliani was awarded the inaugural National Pulse Patriot of the Year award in 2020.

Giuliani, a close confidant of former President Donald Trump, was among the 19 individuals – including former President Donald Trump – indicted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for interfering in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

The National Pulse previously reported that Trump plans travel to Georgia on Thursday, August 24th to surrender to authorities. At a press conference after the indictments were handed down by a grand jury, District Attorney Willis gave the 19 defendants until noon on August 25th to voluntarily surrender themselves.

Mugshots also emerged of lawyers Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis.

DeSantis Hires Open Borders Jeb Bush Acolyte as New Spokesman.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign appears to be undergoing another reboot with the hire of former Florida Speaker of the House Jose Oliva as a senior advisor and spokesman. The hire may indicate a significant departure from DeSantis’s strategy to defeat Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary by running to the former President’s political right.

Oliva, a self-described libertarian, worked closely with former Governor Jeb Bush and the Charles Koch’s pro-corporate lobby group Americans for Prosperity. In 2015, Oliva backed Jeb Bush during the Republican presidential primary and served on the failed campaign’s National Hispanic Leadership Committee. During the 2020-21 Florida budget fight, former Governor Bush praised Oliva’s ‘leadership in the legislature in securing raises for Florida’s public school teachers.

The former Florida lawmaker also has close ties to the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity, serving on their advisory council. Sharing in billionaire libertarian Charles Koch’s disdain for Donald Trump, Oliva declined to attend the 2016 Republican National Convention, calling it, “…just a formality and I’m not much for ceremony.” Oliva said he’d begrudgingly vote for Trump, but that it was a decision that didn’t please him.

When Governor DeSantis backed the Florida Senate ‘E-Verify’ legislation – granting the governor the power to ensure businesses were not hiring illegal immigrants – Oliva broke with his Republican colleagues calling the legislation un-American:

“Empowering executive agencies to have police powers and do random checks, that is something that is of tremendous concern. We are giving the agency the random ability to show up and do an audit, something about that doesn’t say American to me.”

– DeSantis Spokesman Jose Oliva in 2020

In 2018, when Oliva assumed the speakership in the Florida House of Representatives, he gifted lawmakers each a journal, saying he hoped their written reflections would “…tell of your restraint.” Florida Politics publisher Peter Schorsch has described Oliva as “arguably, the least popular House Speaker since Johnnie Byrd‘s disastrous tenure from more than a decade ago.”

Oliva’s speakership was marred by his alienation of colleagues earning him the nickname “Benedict Oliva.”

Campaign spokesmen are usually expected to be steady communicators who do not give the press or other candidates any ammunition to use against their candidate. Oliva, however, has a history of bizarre public statements – the most glaring of which was referring to pregnant women as “host bodies” in a 2019 interview.
