the national pulse

Welcome to Your New ‘The National Pulse’ Experience.

People often say, “I don’t know about you, but…” Well, I do know about you. Mostly because I am you. So I know you’re sick of ugly, artificially elongated articles with their anonymous sources and a thousand Pfizer or Bud Light ads assaulting your eyeballs. That’s why this article itself is short, even though you’ll learn a lot. That’s what we do here. We respect you and your time.

Over the last year we’ve been in the lab designing a new ‘The National Pulse’ experience that can stay true to our “real news” mantra instituted in 2020. We tell the truth no matter how ugly, we provided sources, and we don’t rely on corporate advertisers who dictate our editorial positions. That’s where you come in

We’re partnering with top shows such as Bannon’s War Room, Fleccas Talks, and Steak for Breakfast to bring you bonus content, merch, and unique insights. We’ve operated a successful “Fund Real News” membership that served as the BETA version of what we’re launching today: the Pulse+, which is ridiculously cheap at just $9 a month (with a first month free), and offers a bunch of awesome bonus features. Find out more, here.

When we say we’re RADICALLY INDEPENDENT, we mean it. And its your participation that allows us to do that. By the people, for the people. It lets us provide a news stream “The Pulse” (you’re looking at it), which remains free, while you reap the rewards of all the member benefits (such as my private editor’s notes). You’ll also sleep soundly at night knowing you’re supporting a real news operation dedicated to punching through the legacy, corporate media. Thank you.

The Pulse is your home for radically independent, smart curation. With your help, we can make news great again.
