Ron DeSantis Just Parroted the Democrat Line on Jan 6.

On the day President Trump announced he received a target letter from Biden prosecutor Jack Smith pertaining to the events of January 6th 2021, his Republican primary competitor Ron DeSantis was heard to echo the establishment line on the incident.

“For example, I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on,” DeSantis said directly echoing the Democrat-led January 6th Committee line. He added that Trump “should have come out more forcefully,” before going on to accept that “to try to criminalize that [is] a different issue entirely,” and that having a situation where “one side [is] just constantly trying to put the other side in jail” is wrong.

Contrary to DeSantis’s claims, Trump issued a video statement on Twitter during the disorder, urging protesters: “[Y]ou have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order.”

Twitter took down the video and permanently suspended Trump’s account. The video was not restored even after Elon Musk reinstated the account, though it can still be viewed in the Miller Center presidential archive.

Wall Street DUMPING Cash Into Trump’s Rival Campaigns.

Dozens of Wall Street executives have lined up to funnel as much money as legally allowed to Donald Trump’s rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.

Ron DeSantis, the leading contender to Trump, was a popular choice, attracting 15 significant donations from the likes of Paul Tudor Jones, a hedge fund manager who has previously bankrolled Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Chris Christie.

Nikki Haley also secured 12 maximum donations from Wall Street. Even Vivek Ramaswamy, who has retained a much more positive relationship with Trump than most of the GOP field – and accused Wall Street of having “birthed a new woke-industrial complex” together with Silicon Valley – has received support.

NBC News, which analyzed the FEC filings in collaboration with CNBC, noted that financiers’ backing of Trump rivals is “a continuation of the anti-Trump trend that saw just over $74 million from Wall Street leaders go to support Joe Biden” in 2020 – far greater than the $18 million finance gave to the Trump campaign.

NEW LOW: DeSantis Sinks to 14 Points.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appears to have hit a new polling low, coming in at just 14 points in a TIPP Insights likely voter poll from early July. President Trump’s lead has increased to 39 points in the data, showing the 45th president with 53 percent, and 37-year-old Vivek Ramaswamy gaining to reach seven percent.

The news comes as DeSantis announces major shake-ups in his campaign due to overspending and fractious donor relations.

TIPP insights was described by the right-leaning Spectator magazine as “the pollster who doesn’t suck,” in 2020.

The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam discussed many of the DeSantis camp’s pitfalls on the latest episode of ‘The Campaign Trail’ podcast and even predicted that DeSantis would be down to 10 percent by mid-summer, in an appearance on Human Events Daily show with Jack Posobiec:

DeSantis Sheds Staff Amidst Cash Crunch, Poor Polling.

Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis has fired a number of his staff due to his struggling presidential campaign failing to meet fundraising goals, as well as burning through inordinate amounts of large, corporate donor cash less than two months after he announced that he was running for the Republican presidential nomination.

The news came just days after National Pulse Editor-in-Chief predicted the “shake up” on The Campaign Trail podcast as well as on Twitter:

Another major revelation is that just 15 percent of the DeSantis campaign’s donations came from “small-dollar donors,” compared to former president Donald Trump, who is heavily reliant on smaller donations from his fanbase. Instead, DeSantis has relied upon donors with international corporate interests, such as Morteza “Mori” Hosseini, who has bankrolled Nancy Pelosi and supported the Obamas, and globalists like Howard Cox, who served on a World Economic Forum board alongside Klaus Schwab.

Much of the internal campaign frustration has been aimed at Generra Peck, a former D.C. lobbyist.

“She should be [in the hot seat]” one DeSantis donor said, with another Republican source saying: “They never should have brought so many people on, the burn rate was way too high… People warned the campaign manager but she wanted to hear none of it.”

“DeSantis stock isn’t rising,” the donor added. “Twenty percent is not what people signed up for.”

In response, the DeSantis campaign aide, Andrew Romeo, argued in a statement: “Americans are rallying behind Ron DeSantis and his plan to reverse Joe Biden’s failures and restore sanity to our nation, and his momentum will only continue as voters see more of him in person…”

The news comes at the end of another poor week for Florida’s Governor, who saw his delegate forecast hit an all-time low. Donors, including the Murdochs, are subsequently looking to go elsewhere.

Biden Brings in Advisors, Lures Celebs as Young Dem Voters Drop Off.

The number of 18 to 29-year-old who identify as Democrats has slipped from 64 percent to 49 percent since 2019, and the Biden White House is bringing on new advisors and seeking partnerships with influencers and celebrities to win them back. The left-wing alarm bells have been rung by John Della Volpe, an advisor and pollster to President Joe Biden himself.

The number of young people who believe politics cannot meet the country’s challenges has risen from 36 percent to 52 percent over the same period, suggesting serious dissatisfaction with the 80-year-old President.

“These voters gotta buy into the values of the party and the candidates… You can’t do that in a full-week ad buy after Labor Day,” Volpe said, warning that if the Democrats’ share of the youth vote drops below 60 percent things will get “ugly” for them. Volpe associate Richard Sweeney, amongst others, has been recruited by the White House to address the issue, while insider media outlet POLITICO has predicted “more White House celeb sightings like BTS and Olivia Rodrigo” as Biden seeks to appear relevant.

Similar stunts have fallen flat in the past. Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney was invited to the White House to meet Biden to celebrate “day 222 of being a girl” but went on to become a highly divisive figure after an aborted partnership with Bud Light. Another young trans influencer, Rose Montoya, embarrassed the President by displaying his artificial breasts at a White House Pride party.

Texas Republicans Punch Back at GOP-Controlled House Over Paxton Impeachment.

The Dallas County GOP has voted to condemn the Texas House’s impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton, a prominent, Trump-supporting conservative targeted by establishment Republicans partnered with left-wing “impeachment managers”. The group is the largest party association in the state. The Texas GOP as a whole also blasted the move as “illegal.”

“Now therefore be it resolved that the Dallas County Republican Party CONDEMNS the process by which the Texas House of Representatives impeached General Paxton as unprecedented and an offense to Due Process and the Rule of Law, and hereby IMPLORES Texas L. Governor Dan Patrick and members of the Texas Senate to uphold Due Process, fairness, precedent, and the Rule of Law by immediately returning the impeachment articles to the House of Representatives and conduct no further proceedings in the Texas Senate unless and until the House of Representatives fully satisfies due process, complies with applicable Texas law, and adheres to precedent regarding the Constitutional and statutory impeachment processes, and that Ken Paxton [may] immediately resume his duties as duly-elected Attorney General.

While the Texas House is supposed to be under Republican control, the impeachment effort was led by Ann Johnson, a Democrat. Democrats also made up majority of House members voting to impeach Paxton – though more House Repulicans joined them than opposed them, putting them badly out of step with the Republican grassroots in the Lone Star State.

Worse, the impeachment was rushed through in 48 hours without due process. Paxton was not given the opportunity to refute the supposed evidence against him – indeed, months on from the impeachment vote, Paxton, his counsel, and the American public still had no real detail on the charges leveled against him.

Coverage of this situation by The National Pulse saw Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick inundated with demands to to take action against House impeachment managers. Hours later, Patrick used his authority as President of the Texas Senate and Presiding Officer of the Court of Impeachment to impose a discovery order on the House, ordering impeachment managers to produce the evidence being used against Paxton or face contempt of court proceedings.

Pence, Asked About a Declining America, Replies ‘That’s Not My Concern’.

Former Vice President Mike Pence was quizzed by Tucker Carlson on Friday as to whether or not he was concerned about the decline across American cities, including skyrocketing suicide rates and major economic decline. In response, he began, “That’s not my concern,” before going on to state he was running for President of the United States because he believes in addressing both domestic issues but also in continuing a costly proxy war against Russia, via Ukraine.

Pence, 64, was speaking at the The Blaze’s ‘Summit’ hosted by the former Fox News anchor, who pressed him on the wisdom of spending billions in Eastern Europe while “every city in America has become much worse.”

Tucker concluded, “Where’s the concern for the United States?” before Pence shot back, “That’s not my concern.”

Pence added: “Tucker I’ve heard that routine from you before but that’s not my concern. I’m running for President of the United States because I think this country’s in a lot of trouble… as President of the United States we’re gonna restore law and order in our cities, secure our border, get this economy moving again, make sure we have men and women on our courts at every level that will stand for our right to life… anybody who says we can’t be leader of the free world and solve our problems at home has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth. We can do both.”

His answer came moments after Tucker caught candidate Tim Scott urging more support in destroying Russia, also.

Hunter’s Lawyers Tell Trump to Leave Him Alone… Or Else!

Hunter Biden lawyer Abbe Lowell has written to former President Donald Trump’s lawyers warning of “more legal trouble” if he does not leave Hunter alone.

“[Y]ou should make clear to Mr. Trump – if you have not done so already – that Mr. Trump’s words have caused harm in the past and threaten to do so again if he does not stop,” Lowell wrote, adding that Trump should be told “his incitement can further hurt people and cause himself even more legal trouble.”

Hunter’s lawyer appeared to take particular issue with Trump’s recent commentary on cocaine being found at the White House. The former president has suggested the narcotics belonged to Hunter, a supposedly recovering drug addict discharged from the military for cocaine abuse, and joked that the First Son intended to “feed a little bit to his father to give him energy.”

“You know, if Mr. Trump does not, that Mr. Biden has neither committed nor been accused of the charges that your client is claiming… and that the Biden family was not at the White House (let alone in the vestibule) in the period when the cocaine was found,” Lowell insisted.

‘I’d Kick Trump’s Ass in the Octagon’ Claims Chris Christie.

Chris Christie says he could beat up former President Donald Trump.

“The guy’s 78 years old, I’d kick his ass,” claimed Christie, who is 60 and morbidly obese, in an interview with Piers Morgan. The former president is actually 77.

Christie, who is limping along at statistically zero for the Republican presidential nomination, said he would “fight Donald Trump anywhere he wants, in any arena he wants, whether it’s on a debate stage or in the Octagon.”

The former Governor of New Jersey also complained about Trump making fun of his size, admitting he had “struggled with [his] weight” for 30 years and saying Trump was “a child, an infant [to] make those kind of remarks” – then making jabs of his own at Trump’s physique.

While many of those challenging Trump for the Republican nomination are presenting themselves as MAGA alternatives, Christie has presented himself as explicitly anti-Trump. Bill Kristol, a fellow RINO, has even urged Christie to endorse Biden over Trump.

Biden Declares Victory in Ukraine, With 20% of The Country Still Under Russian Control.

President Joe Biden claims Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has “already lost Ukraine,” though Russian forces continue to occupy around a fifth of its territory, and a much-anticipated counter-offensive has produced minimal gains at the cost of many Western weapons systems which were supposed to be “game-changing”.

“He thought that if he invaded Ukraine, first of all, he’d get a welcome by every Russian speaker, they’d say, ‘Come on in.’ Secondly, he thought what would happen is that NATO would collapse, NATO would not to do anything, they’d be afraid to act,” Biden said, adding: “Go down the line, none of that’s happening.”

The backwards declaration of victory may end up being somewhat of a Bush-style “Mission Accomplished” moment for Biden, as the U.S. and NATO continue to be drawn into the conflict with very little to show for it.

Biden’s bar for success in war may be fairly low, however. The President previously hailed his Saigon-style withdrawal from Afghanistan, which saw dozens of American soldiers killed or injured by a suicide bomber – and an Afghan aid worker and seven children murdered when he authorized a retaliatory drone strike on the wrong target – as an “extraordinary success”.
