Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, is predicting meltdowns on a grand scale now that President Donald J. Trump has moved to purge the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) leadership. “I think the unprecedented nature of this is what’s really rocking Washington, D.C., to its core this evening. A lot of these people have gone through their lives thinking of themselves as ‘made men,’ in a very mafioso sense of the word, and that is coming undone in front of their eyes,” Kassam told War Room host Stephen K. Bannon.
Kassam noted this in only “the first step” for the second Trump administration, as “if you go in this hard, what you’re showing is that you’re going to clean house entirely, because these were some of the most senior people… some of the people who were in charge of the persecution against President Trump over the last four years.”
The National Pulse chief said the people who have been removed had believed “that they would be shielded” and even kept anonymous, without any consequences or scrutiny—in large part “because they really didn’t think that President Trump would win a second term”—but now “the chickens are coming home to roost.”
Bannon and Kassam also discussed the Senate confirmation hearing for President Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel. Kassam praised Patel’s “open” and “upfront” performance. He believes that firings taking place before Patel has even been confirmed are a message from President Trump to the Deep State along the lines of, “What you saw yesterday was an appetizer; here’s your main course.”
He added, “I can’t wait for dessert!” […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
