Could Kevin McCarthy REALLY Be Trump’s Next Chief of Staff!?

According to a report from Bloomberg, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is under consideration for Chief of Staff should former President Donald Trump retake the White House in November’s presidential election. McCarthy allegedly turned down the role during Trump’s first presidential administration — opting to compete for the Speakership instead, ultimately losing the leadership battle to Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).

Citing anonymous sources, Bloomberg contends that former President Trump sees McCarthy as possessing valuable assets as a Chief of Staff, including his knowledge of Capitol Hill, his experience in government budgeting, and his alignment with the former President on “regulatory priorities.” However, the former Speaker is not without his detractors among former President Trump’s most outspoken supporters — including Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who spearheaded McCarthy’s ouster as Speaker.

McCarthy served as the Republican Speaker of the House for less than a year, from January 7, 2023, until October 3, 2023. Rep. Gaetz brought a ‘motion to vacate’ against the former Speaker after the Florida Republican accused McCarthy of breaking several policy promises made during the Speaker election in January.

Following his ouster, McCarthy meddled behind the scenes in the election of his successor. McCarthy’s alleged machinations derailed the short-lived bids by Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). After Rep. Tom Emmer’s run for Speaker failed to gain significant support, the former Speaker attempted to make a move to reclaim the gavel with allies writing in his name during a House GOP Conference meeting. However, Members ultimately settled on Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as the consensus nominee.

In an incredibly petty incident during the Speaker succession fight, McCarthy was witnessed throwing an elbow into Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) in a Capitol Building hallway. Burchett was one of the House Republicans who voted for McCarthy’s ouster.

Trump: If NATO Plays Fair, America Will Be There.

In a recent interview with GB News presenter Nigel Farage, former President Donald Trump explained that if NATO member states “play fair” then America will be there, “100 percent” for member nations. The comments came after Farage asked the former President about his recent comments regarding the military umbrella and its delinquent member states.

“It was the most unfair thing and don’t forget, it’s more important to them than it is to us. We have an ocean between some problems, Trump remarked, adding: “They will take advantage. They took advantage of us on trade, they took advantage on the military.”

Farage pressed him: “So if they start to play fair, America’s there?” To which the former President responded: “Yes. 100 per cent.”

“NATO became strong because of me,” Trump said during the interview, explaining that his negotiating tactics – i.e. putting delinquent nations on blast publicly – had led to more money coming in over the past eight years.

“Now NATO has to treat the U.S. fairly because if it wasn’t for the United States, NATO wouldn’t even exist. They took advantage of us like most countries do,” Trump explained.

The full interview will be broadcast on GB News at 3pm EST.

WATCH: NYT Produces Shocking North Korea-Style Propaganda Vid – ‘Deep State Is Awesome.’

The New York Times once claimed the Deep State “doesn’t exist.” Now, it admits it is real and says it “makes our lives better.”

In a brazen, North Korea-style propaganda video entitled ‘It Turns Out the “Deep State” Is Actually Kind of Awesome,’ the Times spoke to several bureaucrats, talking up their role as “everyday superheroes who wake up ready to dedicate their careers and their lives to serving us.”

“As we met the Americans who are being dismissed as public enemies, we discovered that they are … us,” waxed the newspaper of record.

“They like Taylor Swift. They dance bachata. They go to bed at night watching ‘Star Trek’ reruns. They go to work and do their jobs: saving us from Armageddon,” it continued, working hard to humanize its subjects.

However, the people interviewed by the NYT were not the bureaucrats generally associated with the Deep State. They appeared to be regular public servants tasked with apolitical work such as monitoring asteroids, removing lead piping, and investigating companies employing illegal alien children in dangerous occupations.

Nevertheless, these run-of-the-mill officials were used to attack Donald Trump’s proposed Schedule F reforms. These would make replacing entrenched bureaucrats advancing leftist ideology and interventionist foreign policy easier.

Agenda-driven actors within the Deep State disrupted several of the previous Trump administration’s policies, such as withdrawing troops from Syria.

No Vivek VP, But He Could Lead THIS Agency for Trump…

Vivek Ramaswamy is not expected to be selected as former President Donald Trump’s running mate. Trump delivered the news directly to Ramaswamy, instead suggesting other government roles that may suit his expertise — including one at the Department of Homeland Security Secretary.

According to anonymous sources cited by Bloomberg, Ramaswamy isn’t the only dignitary in recent discussions on Trump’s cabinet reconstruction, with others including former competitor and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, New York Representative Elise Stefanik, and Robert Lighthizer, who served as U.S. Trade Representative during Trump’s first term.

The news confirms National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam’s perspective offered in August 2023:

Former President Trump is said to be considering vice-presidential candidates who are not after the political limelight. Instead, the former President wants a vice-presidential nominee who will give him an edge against President Joe Biden. At this time, it appears that all of the candidates floated as potential running mates only partially match the qualifications for which the former President is looking, a point that Trump himself is alleged to have made to his advisors.

Campaign aides alone haven’t guided the vice-presidential search, with members of the former President’s family also stepping in to give advice. Donald Trump, Jr. has been advising his father on how the more strident voters in the pro-Trump MAGA base might react to various candidates. He’s also pushed for a more significant role on the transition team to ensure that political appointees will be satisfactory in the eyes of Trump voters.

Even The New York Times Admits: Trump Bond Impossible to Pay Due to Regulations.

Even the “failing New York Times” admits that the bond being asked of former President Donald J. Trump is impossible to pay in order for him to have his civil fraud case ruling reviewed by another judge.

“Any insurance company that underwrote a bond for Donald Trump in his civil fraud case in New York would undoubtedly be criticized by those who don’t like the ex-president,” wrote Peter Coy in the Times.

“Chubb Insurance found that out when it underwrote a much smaller bond in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation suit against him. Chubb’s chief executive, Evan Greenberg, was forced to put out a letter saying, “We don’t take sides, it would be wrong for us to do so, and we are in no way supporting the defendant.””

Coy goes on to explain that insurance regulation is the real reason Trump can’t find the case required to begin the appeals process:

“…state insurance departments that regulate surety bond companies don’t allow that kind of business. It would be highly risky for insurers to accept real estate as collateral because its value is unpredictable and it’s hard to sell on short notice. Regulators don’t allow insurance companies to charge high premiums for taking on that kind of risk; they want insurers to charge low premiums for low risk.”

Similar sentiments were extolled by lawyer Jonathan Turley, who appeared on Fox and declared the matter unique and unfair.

WATCH: Kassam Announces Investigative Series into Democrat Hoaxster PAC ‘Meidas Touch.’

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam announced an investigative series into the ‘Meidas Touch’ organization that continues to peddle a number of hoaxes against former President Donald J. Trump, including its most recent “bloodbath” hoax.

Kassam, speaking on Steve Bannon’s War Room, explained the group is closely linked to Hollywood leftists and hides much of its Democrat-linked dark money behind its Political Action Committee (PAC) status.

Nonetheless, The National Pulse has already started connecting the dots between major Meidas Touch-world figures, with the first stories dropping on Monday, March 18th.

To support this work, join The National Pulse, here.

REVEALED: Epstein Island’s Reid Hoffman, Megadonor to E. Jean Carroll, Nikki Haley Funds MeidasTouch Group Behind ‘Bloodbath’ Hoax.

LinkedIn billionaire and Epstein island visitor Reid Hoffman, a megadonor to the Democrats, Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley, E. Jean Carroll, and the legal defense of Russia hoaxers FusionGPS, has also donated in large sums to the MeidasTouch Network. Founded by the three Meiselas brothers — Ben, Brett, and Jordy — the far-left media organization helped popularize the “bloodbath hoax” against Donald Trump over recent days.

MeidasTouch intentionally omitted that Trump was referring to an economic bloodbath for the auto industry in his speech in Ohio on Saturday. Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, alongside the corporate media, took up the theme, alleging the former president was threatening “political violence.”

The group has the support of many high-profile celebrities and political figures. The brothers Meisalas have employed a team of hardline ‘Never Trump’ activists to masquerade as journalists for their website, which began its life as a Democratic PAC.

Now, The National Pulse can reveal that one of the men who helped them get it off the ground was none other than Epstein-linked billionaire Hoffman, who also bankrolled the E. Jean Carroll case against Donald Trump, and threw cash at Nikki Haley prior to the abortion of her failed political campaign.

Hoffman has now been outed for visiting Epstein’s island in 2014 – long after Epstein’s conviction for procuring a girl below age 18 for prostitution – and even arranged to stay at the Manhattan townhouse where the financier abused many of his victims.

Hoffman admitted to The Wall Street Journal that “by lending my association, I helped [Epstein’s] reputation, and thus delayed justice for his survivors.” He claimed his last interaction with the convicted sex offender was in 2015.

Hoffman also “contributed more than $600,000 to the legal defense fund of Bean LLC — otherwise known as Fusion GPS, the company responsible for the creation of the Steele Dossier,” which spread various false accusations of links between Trump and Russia.

Trump Can’t Post $454M Bond for Civil Fraud Judgment.

Former President Donald Trump‘s legal team informed a New York appellate court on Monday that it is unable to post a bond covering the full sum of his $454 million civil fraud judgment for the duration of his appeal process. This comes as a result of a ruling last month by a state appeals court judge, which mandates the post of a full-sum bond to defer enforcement of the judgment, beginning March 25.

“Defendants have faced what have proven to be insurmountable difficulties in obtaining an appeal bond for the full $464 million,” Trump Organization general counsel Alan Garten wrote in court papers filed Monday. Trump’s defense has already engaged with 30 surety companies via four different brokers in an attempt to obtain the bond.

With accrued interest, Trump’s outstanding sum would be approximately $456.8 million. The total sum owed by Trump and his co-defendants is $467.3 million. According to Trump’s counsel, collateral valued at $557 million would likely be required to acquire the needed bond.

The civil fraud judgment levied against the former president was the result of a ruling by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron. He determined that Trump had excessively inflated his net worth to secure more advantageous loan terms. Trump was subsequently fined $354.8 million, followed by roughly $100 million in pre-judgment interest. New York AG Letitia James brought the case against Trump.

Despite the hefty fine, Trump confirmed his intention to contest the ruling. However, he is obligated to first pay the fine as a bond to New York State.

DATA: Americans Doubt Biden’s ‘Devout Catholicism.’

Recent data from a Pew Research poll indicates that a significant proportion of Americans are skeptical about President Biden’s self-professed devout Catholicism. The survey, conducted in late February, revealed that a mere 13 percent of Americans view Biden as very religious. On the other hand, 41 percent believe he is somewhat religious. Notably, 44 percent think he lacks substantial religious conviction.

This data emerges amidst Biden’s self-declared devout Catholic campaign narrative, underscored by regular church attendance and even echoed in White House descriptions of the president, particularly when justifying his strong pro-choice position on abortion.

President Biden’s faith and views on abortion have sparked controversy with the Catholic Church and drawn criticism from Pope Francis last July, who described them as ‘incoherent.’ Despite the critique, the pair met later that year when, according to Biden, he received Pope Francis’ encouragement to continue receiving communion.

The friction between President Biden’s faith and his abortion stance has been seized upon by Former President Trump, remarking that voting for Biden would be ‘crazy’ for Catholics. Interestingly, according to the Pew Research poll, only 4 percent of Americans viewed Trump as very religious, whereas 68 percent identified him as not particularly religious.
