Voters in the Show-Me State will face several crucial decisions on the ballot this November 5, including whether to overturn the state’s current abortion ban and legalize sports betting. The Missouri Secretary of State’s office confirmed on Tuesday that a proposed constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to an abortion has garnered enough signatures to be included in the general election ballot.
The proposed abortion rights amendment will appear as Amendment 3. If passed, it would allow abortions until after fetal viability, approximately 24 weeks, with exceptions when the mother’s life or health is at risk. Under current law, abortion in Missouri is restricted to only instances of medical emergencies.
Democrats in the state hope the ballot measure will energize pro-choice voters in November’s election and boost the prospects of the party’s gubernatorial candidate, State House Minority Leader Crystal Quade. The Republican Party nominee—and favorite to win the election—Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe is a strong opponent of the initiative.
In addition to the abortion measure, voters will decide on Amendment 2, which proposes the legalization of sports betting in the state. This initiative has support from major sports franchises, including the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs, and aims to implement a 10 percent tax on sports wagers. Revenue from this tax would be allocated to educational institutions and a fund for compulsive gambling prevention.
Lastly, voters will decide on a ballot measure that proposes increasing Missouri’s minimum wage from $12 to $15 per hour by 2026. The initiative, named Proposition A, also includes provisions for guaranteed paid sick time based on hours worked.

New survey data reveals significant gaps in voter awareness regarding KamalaHarris’s past far-left policy positions. The study, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates on behalf of The Media Research Center, found that on ten aspects of Harris’s political record, between 71 percent and 86 percent of respondents were either unaware or unsure of her positions.
The issues surveyed include her support for the Green New Deal, abolishing ICE, and eliminating private health insurance. Additionally, the data reveals that many voters obtain their political news primarily from broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) and cable channels (CNN, MSNBC). The lack of voter knowledge of Harris‘s record suggests these outlets have not provided adequate coverage of the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
According to The Media Research Center, a review of evening news coverage by ABC, CBS, and NBC from July 21 to August 10 found that eight of the ten issues examined in the survey were not mentioned at all. Consequently, the remaining two received only limited air time. This dearth of comprehensive reporting aligns with the knowledge gaps found among voters.
– 71 percent were unaware of Harris’s past advocacy for cutting police funding. – 73 percent did not know about her co-sponsorship of the Green New Deal. – 81 percent were unaware of her support for Medicare for All. – 74 percent were unaware of her 2015 statement that illegal entry into the U.S. should not be considered a crime.
Respondents’ primary sources of election news were broadcast television (50.2 percent), cable news (41.2 percent), and social media (34.4 percent). National newspapers (10.8 percent) and public broadcasting (9.2 percent) were less common sources.

Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic Party’s new presidential nominee, is now claiming she will not push for a Medicare for All-style healthcareplan despite backing legislation enacting such a plan in 2019. Harris, then a U.S. Senator for California, co-sponsored a bill by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that would have expanded the Medicare program into a basic universal healthcare plan.
Under the Sanders proposal, government expenditures on healthcare could top $40 trillion over a decade.
The reversal in her support for Medicare for All marks the latest policy flip-flop by Kamala Harris as she attempts to disown the more radical political stances she took nearly four years ago during the lead-up to the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. Harris’s change of opinion was first reported by journalist Peter Doocy who pressed her campaign as to whether she still supported Sen. Sander’s socialized healthcare plan.
Quite the flip flop ⬇️
The HARRIS camp tells FOX there will be no push for Medicare for All.
Since being selected as the Democratic Party’s 2024 nominee—replacing the 81-year-old Joe Biden—Harris has sought to distance herself from her past radical political statements and positions. The National Pulse reported in late July that the Harris campaign has claimed the candidate now disavows her previous support for a ban on fracking, attacks on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and sympathy for defunding the police.
Harris and her campaign’s corporate media allies have also worked to erase the fact Biden tapped her to serve as ‘border czar.’ Under her watch, the Biden government’s open borders policies saw an explosion in illegal immigration into the country.
In addition, the corporate media has attempted to remove partisanship ratings that revealed Harris to be the most far-left member of the U.S. Senate according to her legislative record.

Cryptocurrency values are tumbling on fears that KamalaHarris could win the White House in November’s U.S. presidential election. The price of Bitcoin began to slide after the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee—who replaced the 81-year-old JoeBiden after he dropped from the race in July—overtook former President Donald J. Trump in online betting markets.
“Our interpretation of current market sentiment is that a Trump win is bullish, and Harris win is bearish (at least in terms of the immediate market reaction),” a recent report from Berstein—a private wealth management firm—reads. Since Harris secured the Democratic Party’s nomination on August 4, Bitcoin’s value has slid 3 percent.
The driving factor behind the cryptocurrency price slide has been the perception that a win by former President Trump would be a boon to crypto markets. While speaking at The Bitcoin Conference in late July, Trump announced his plan to create a national Bitcoin reserve should he be returned to office in November.
“If we don’t do it, China and others are going to be doing it,” he said, adding: “This [Bitcoin] is the steel industry of 100 years ago.”
Meanwhile, market analysts see a potential Harris government as overly hostile to cryptocurrencies. Under the current Biden-Harris regime, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman Gary Gensler has aggressively attempted to regulate Bitcoin and other crypto tokens.
Under Genlser’s leadership, the agency has acknowledged that some see its actions as anti-innovation. However, the SEC insists it has proper legal jurisdiction to regulate cryptocurrencies as a traded security.
While the value of some cryptocurrencies appears to have begun a recovery, Bitcoin has yet to recover to its all-time high of $73,700 in March.

Americans are increasingly concerned about noncitizen voters illegally casting ballots in federal elections. New data from Rasmussen Reports indicates that 55 percent of American voters believe it is likely that noncitizens influence election results where they live. The polling data suggests that noncitizen voters are beginning to receive attention among the electorate after being dismissed by the corporate media for years.
The Rasmussen Reports poll also reveals an overwhelming number of American voters oppose allowing noncitizens to cast ballots in U.S. elections. A total of 85 percent of those polled said that only U.S. citizens should be allowed to vote. Just 11 percent said noncitizens should be legally able to cast ballots. These trends were present regardless of political affiliation, with 87 percent of Republicans, 81 percent of Democrats, and 86 percent of unaffiliated voters all saying that only American citizens should be legally allowed to vote.
IMPACT OF NONCITIZEN VOTES.
Corporate media outlets like the Associated Press have attempted to dismiss concerns about the election impacts noncitizen voters could make. However, evidence continues to mount, showing that noncitizens are not just voting but doing so in numbers that could prove pivotal in deciding the outcome of tight electoral contests.
The National Pulse has previously reported that election data shows a statistically significant number of noncitizens acknowledge participating in past U.S. elections. Additionally, the prosecution of noncitizen voters in North Carolina reveals that they illegally cast ballots by a ratio of three to one in favor of Democratic Party candidates. A federal investigation in the state found that some noncitizens were only allowed to register to vote by election workers after determining they’d likely support Democrats on the ballot.
Noncitizens have been able to cast ballots due to state governments grantingdriver’slicenses to legal and illegalimmigrants. Additionally, the lack of proof of citizenship requirements in state and federal elections means that noncitizens can easily slip past the minor barriers intended to ensure only citizens cast votes.

The Lincoln Project—an anti-Trump PAC—is again reporting stunning overhead costs compared to actual election spending. U.S. federal election records show the group, accused of being a scam PAC, has spent $11.7 million on overhead and just $437,000 on actual election spending since January 1, 2023.
High overhead spending with little actual money flowing into election activities isn’t an aberration for The Lincoln Project. The National Pulsereported the group engaged in a similar spending pattern—pouring donor money into vendors, media buyers, and consulting firms connected to the PAC’s founders—during the 2020 election. A total of around $10 million was funneled through vendors back into the pockets of The Lincoln Project‘s founders during the last presidential election cycle.
Founded in 2019 by a group of ‘Republican’ consultants who had been frozen out of work in the party because of their opposition to then-President Donald J. Trump, The Lincoln Project has consistently spent unusually high amounts of donor dollars on overhead costs compared to actual electioneering. Even more troubling, The Lincoln Project was embroiled in controversy in early 2021 after it was revealed that one of its co-founders, John Weaver, was shown to have sent inappropriate messages to young men and boys in an attempt to sexually groom them.
The National Pulse reported this past April that The Lincoln Project paid out $35,000 to hackers who had posed as vendors for the PAC and sent fraudulent invoices.
In addition, the group poured $42,000 into the far-left, anti-Trump MeidasTouch organization. MeidasTouch, a former Democrat PAC, now serves as a Democrat media platform. It hosts the likes of serial perjurer Michael Cohen and pushed the infamous “bloodbath” hoax against former President Trump.
lol…Lincoln Project has "spent $437K in the 2024 Presidential race"

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, warned in mid-July that the Democratic Party would employ asnap election, snap candidate strategy in the United States similar to those used by globalists in Europe to head off a populist electoral insurgency in France and ensure a Labour victory in the United Kingdom. Now, the American corporate media is embracing the country’s own ‘snap’ election candidate as a good thing, throwing their support behind corrupt backroom dealing in candidate selection.
“It’s all very important to what happens in November. I just think you have to be very, very careful here, especially of the Biden stuff, because you had a snap election in the UK, and you had a snap election in France,” Kassam explained last month. He continued, arguing that Biden would be replaced at the top of the ticked—essentially creating a ‘snap’ candidate and election scenario before the November election. The short amount of time until ballots are cast would prevent a thorough public vetting of the new Democrat nominee.
EMBRACING ‘SNAP’ ELECTION.
With Biden‘s replacement by his vice president, Kamala Harris, having come to pass, the corporate media is backing the exceptionally brief campaign cycle for Harris as ‘good’ for democracy. “Did Kamala accidentally stumble into a new model for a very short campaign? What if a[sic] party pushed all the primaries into the weeks before the convention?” Semafor Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith wrote on X (formerly Twitter). He added: “The long American campaigns have a real downside.”
Did Kamala accidentally stumble into a new model for a very short campaign? What if the a party pushed all the primaries into the weeks before the convention? The long American campaigns have a real downside.
Echoing Smith’s sentiments, Vanity Fair correspondent and former CNN flunkie Brian Stelter posted: “An end to never-ending campaigns?”
The swapping of Harris for Biden has upended the 2024 presidential race, which is now a dead heat between the Democratic Party candidate and former President Donald J. Trump. Additionally, Biden‘s exit from the race has tamped down public concerns over the 81-year-old Democrat’s clear cognitive decline—though he remains in the White House.

Former President Donald J. Trump has returned to X (formerly Twitter) with a string of posts made just after noon on Monday. The 2024 Republican presidential nominee had largely been absent from the social platform since the then-sitting President’s account was suspended on January 8, 2021, by the company’s former ownership under Jack Dorsey.
Since his suspension over three years ago, the former Republican President founded his own social media company, Truth Social, which went public earlier this year—earning Trump billions. Over the past two years, an exclusivity agreement with Truth Social had largely kept Trump from other social media platforms. However, it is believed that the deal has since expired.
Trump’s first post on X—since he posted his Georgia mugshot on August 24, 2023—came just after 11:00 AM in the form of a 2-minute video regarding the Biden-Harris Department of Justice’s (DOJ) lawfare campaign against him. However, some speculated that the video may have just been a mis-posted ad, as the Trump campaign began running paid political ads on the former President’s account late Sunday night.
However, just after noon, the social media account saw a series of messages starting with the former President posting: “Are you better off now than you were when I was president?”
“Our economy is shattered. Our border has been erased. We’re a nation in decline,” Trump continued before adding: “Make the American Dream AFFORDABLE again. Make America SAFE again. Make America GREAT Again!”
Since then, the former President has taken to X to promote his interview with the social platform’s owner, Elon Musk, which is set to happen Monday at 8:00 PM. In addition, Trump has posted several other campaign-related videos, including one highlighting his opponent, Kamala Harris‘ radical liberal record.
Are you better off now than you were when I was president?
Our economy is shattered. Our border has been erased. We're a nation in decline.
Make the American Dream AFFORDABLE again. Make America SAFE again. Make America GREAT Again!
The European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, is now threatening tech billionaire and X owner Elon Musk, demanding he censor his August 12 evening interview with former President Donald J. Trump. European Commissioner Thierry Breton posted a letter on X, demanding Musk adhere to the E.U.’s Digital Services Act (DSA), specifically about spreading any disinformation, hatred, or incitement to violence.
Thierry’s letter also mentions recent unrest, referring to the anti-mass migration protests and riots in the U.K. over the last two weeks. Musk has been vocal about his criticism of the U.K. government’s handling of the situation, specifically the accusations that British police engage in two-tier policing practices, with allegations they have allowed Muslim mobs to run riot while cracking down hard on white British protestors.
UK GOVT PANICS.
U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer also attempted to issue a warning to Musk last week. The technology mogul was told that it was dangerous to call out two-tier policing, which Starmer claimed put officers in danger.
Now, The National Pulse understands the British government will be tuned into the Trump-Musk interview, nervous of what both men might say about the nation’s crackdown on free speech and mass arrests of anti-mass migration activists.
The UK government and press are planning to watch @elonmusk's interview with @realDonaldTrump closely tonight.
The government is apparently fearful of Trump criticizing their approach to recent anti-mass migration protests, arrests, and a crackdown on free speech in the UK.
According to E.U. Commissioner Breton, the bloc is ready to “make full use of our toolbox, including by adopting interim measures,” against Musk and X if the E.U. feels the Trump interview violates E.U. regulations.
Social media users immediately labeled the letter a sign of foreign election interference in the U.S.’s 2024 presidential race, while Musk replied, “Bonjour!” In another post, Musk appears to brush off the threats, likening Breton to a French character from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The European Union has been threatening censorship and action against Musk for months under the DSA, with Breton declaring last December that the bloc was going after X. Musk, meanwhile, went public in July about an alleged illegal secret deal the European Union offered to tech giants to quietly censor posts on their respective platforms.
“The European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us. The other platforms accepted that deal. X did not,” Musk said.

The Minnesota Teachers Retirement Association (TRA) pension program faces an independent forensic audit over suspicions that its investment board, led by Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), may be cooking the books to hide the extent of investment fees paid to Wall Street fund managers. Compounding matters, communications between state pension officials and a national trade association suggest a concerted effort to discredit the forensic audit and pension forensics expert Edward “Ted” Siedle.
According to Siedle, the Minnesota teacher pension fund appears to be seriously underreporting investment fees. This concern resulted in a group of Minnesota teachers crowdfunding to hire Siedle to conduct an independent forensic audit of the pension fund and state investment plans.
“A cursory look at the Minnesota Teachers Retirement Association leads to the conclusion they’re either a world class pension or they’re cooking the books,” the pension forensics expert stated in late July. “Minnesota reported investment fees on the $26.7 billion teacher pension fund of $24.1 million. The teachers fund has a $6.6 billion private equity portfolio that would be expected to pay at least $132 million a year to fund managers.”
However, even before Siedle officially began his audit in April, Minnesota bureaucrats were actively working to discredit the investigation, according to communications reviewed by The National Pulse. Additionally, the series of emails and text messages obtained by Siedle reveal staff with the TRA coordinated with the National Council on Teachers Retirement (NCTR)–a trade association for state teacher pension programs—to distribute “opposition research” against the pension expert.
In a March 11, 2024, email with the subject ‘An Important Matter,’ TRA executive director Jay Stoffel alerted Gov. Walz and other officials regarding the independent audit effort. Stoffel described it as posing “many serious risks to the agency and pension fund,” adding the situation is one they “should be aware of and concerned about.”
The communications between TRA staff, Gov. Walz‘s office, and the NCTR raise serious questions about why an independent audit would raise such an alarm.

Ken Griffin has pledged $12 million to stop a ballot measure that would legalize recreational marijuana in Florida. Griffin, the founder of Citadel, expressed his opposition to Amendment 3 in an op-ed for the Miami Herald, stating that the initiative could harm children and lead to increased crime.
The billionaire hedge-fund manager, who recently expanded his company’s presence in Florida, is directing his funds toward an effort to block Amendment 3. Griffin wrote that the amendment’s passage would create a monopoly for large marijuana dispensaries and permit pot use in both public and private areas throughout the state.
Griffin – an early backer of failed presidential candidate Ron DeSantis – also emphasized the adverse effects of marijuana legalization, including more dangerous roads, a higher risk of youth addiction, and elevated crime rates. He referred to similar measures in states like California, Colorado, and New York and the ill effects of legalization.
Citing a 2022 study from the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, Griffin pointed out an increase in traffic crashes and fatalities following the legalization of recreational marijuana. However, research from the University of Colorado Boulder suggests no correlation between legal cannabis and an increase in substance-use disorders or other negative outcomes among adults.
“I have lived the nightmare of misguided politicians in other states whose policies are destroying jobs, fostering crime, ravaging schools, and damaging communities,” Griffin said in a statement explaining his opposition to the ballot measure. He added: My dream is for all Floridians to continue to have even more opportunities, and I am committed to supporting policies and principles that will further elevate Florida as the greatest place to live, work, and raise a family in America.”
