Tehran Ceases Attacks After Trump Demands Iran and Israel ‘Stop Shooting.’

Iran and Israel exchanged a series of strikes over the weekend, with Tehran saying it is halting its operations on Monday morning after President Trump called on both sides to cease their attacks “immediately.”

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Iran and Israel traded strikes over the weekend, with Iran firing drones and missiles at Israel in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon. The exchanges mark the most serious escalation since a fragile ceasefire was announced in April. Iran later announced a halt to its military operations, claiming it had delivered a “painful response” to Israel’s actions, after President Donald J. Trump demanded on Truth Social early Monday that “Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting.'”
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The strikes occurred over the weekend, with Iran targeting Israel and Israel targeting Iran and Iran-linked targets in Lebanon, including Beirut’s suburbs.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Both sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to do an immediate CEASEFIRE! Final negotiations on ‘Peace’ are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way. The Blockade will remain in place, and in full force and effect, until a ‘Final Deal’ is reached. Things should move quickly.” – President Trump
🎯 IMPACT: The renewed violence threatens to reescalate the war, which has been simmering at a low level despite a ceasefire, causing massive disruption to global energy and fertilizer supplies.
📺 DETAIL: Israel’s strikes on Beirut drew condemnation from Iran, which also accused the U.S. of complicity in Israeli actions. Iran’s Hezbollah proxies operate in the state, although the group has been outlawed by the official government. Earlier in the war, Israel stated its intention to seize a portion of southern Lebanon as a security buffer. Reports indicate that President Trump has been deeply unhappy with Israel’s ongoing operations in Lebanon derailing peace talks. Trump confirmed in an interview last week that he had called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “f**king crazy” in an argument over the subject.

REVEALED: UK Cops Tried to Frame Henry Nowak Days After Death, KNOWING His Killer Had Lied.

UK police still attempted to portray murdered Henry Nowak as the aggressor in the fatal incident, despite evidence to the contrary.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: UK police initially attempted to depict Henry Nowak as the aggressor in a fatal stabbing incident, despite knowing that the suspect, Digwa, had lied about being racially abused. The attempt came in the form of a drafted statement, never issued, but revealed by the Sunday Times newspaper.
📰 DETAIL: Henry Nowak died on December 4 after being stabbed multiple times by Digwa, who falsely claimed racial abuse. The police’s initial statement suggested an unknown man had assaulted two men, but the Nowak family objected to the narrative that implied their son was said aggressor. The police eventually revised their statement to refer only to an “altercation.” The police draft statement came even after they realised Digwa, the murderer, had lied all along.
🎯 IMPACT: The incident has gone global, shining a spotlight on Britain’s two-tier political system and broader society, which assures privileges to non-whites and those who claim “racism.”

WATCH: Kassam Calls Out Establishment Hypocrisy Over Henry Nowak.

The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam highlighted the establishment’s hypocrisy in its reaction to the death of white teenager Henry Nowak compared to the death of George Floyd, and praised Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage’s response to the issues with two-tier policing raised by Nowak’s case.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam spoke to Harry Cole, editor-at-large for Britain’s Sun newspaper, on Friday, pointing out the clear differences in the reactions of the British establishment to the death of George Floyd in 2020 and the murder of white teenager Henry Nowak at the end of 2025. Kassam praised Reform UK leader Nigel Farage‘s call for “pure, cold rage” following the scandal, which saw Nowak arrested by the police as he was dying because his Sikh killer accused him of racism, stressing, “Nigel’s petition to the British public was not one of incitement, but one of composure. Cold rage is very different to hot rage.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It was one tier for George Floyd, and it’s a different, other tier, for Henry Nowak.” – Raheem Kassam

American ‘Journalist’ Pleads Guilty to Working for China.

An American citizen has admitted to working as an unregistered agent for China, highlighting Beijing’s ongoing efforts to infiltrate U.S. political institutions.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Thomas Weir Pauken II, an American who lived in China for over a decade, pleaded guilty to acting as an unregistered agent for the Chinese government, working under the pseudonym “Tom McGregor” for state-run propaganda outlets.
📰 DETAIL: According to federal prosecutors, Pauken worked under the direction of handlers linked to China’s Ministry of State Security from 2019 through early 2026, gathering intelligence, cultivating potential sources, and reporting information back to Beijing. Authorities said he received at least $100,000 and travel expenses for multiple trips to the United States as part of the operation. Pauken, who previously worked for Chinese state media outlets including Xinhua, CGTN, CCTV, and China Radio International, allegedly helped connect a consultant seeking a role in the second Trump administration with a Chinese intelligence contact and provided secure communication devices for their use. Prosecutors also said he supplied information related to U.S. technology and the Department of Justice to a Wuhan-based group seeking expertise for cyber operations. FBI officials described the case as a significant example of Beijing’s efforts to infiltrate American political circles and obtain sensitive information. Pauken pleaded guilty in the Eastern District of Virginia and faces up to 10 years in prison at his September 1 sentencing.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This case illustrates the lengths to which the Chinese Communist Party will go to undermine our democratic institutions and degrade our political freedoms, but it also demonstrates the FBI’s resolve to defend the homeland from threats to our national security.” – Assistant Director Roman Rozhavsky of the FBI’s Counterintelligence and Espionage Division

UK ‘Conservative’ Leader Attacks U.S. State Dept for Criticizing Two-Tier Policing in Britain.

Kemi Badenoch, leader of the “Conservative” Party in the United Kingdom, addressed the U.S. State Department’s remarks on the Henry Nowak case, attacking the Trump administration for its condemnation of two-tier policing.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Olukemi “Kemi” Badenoch, leader of Britain’s notionally center-right “Conservative” Party, has criticized the U.S. State Department’s condemnation of two-tier policing in Britain following the murder and wrongful arrest of white teenager Henry Nowak.
📺 DETAIL: On Thursday, the State Department condemned the rise of two-tier policing in the United Kingdom. The message from the State Dept. followed recent uproar over the murder and wrongful arrest of 18-year-old white student Henry Nowak in Southampton, England. “Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West. The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time,” the statement said. In response, Badenoch said, “I don’t need to get other countries to tell me what to think…  I know what I think, and I’ve been very clear,” without elaborating further.
🎯 IMPACT: This represents another controversial response from the Conservative leader. Badenoch has already come under fire for her contrasting responses to the death of George Floyd and Henry Nowak. In response to the former in 2020, Badenoch said “Black lives do matter,” while in response to the latter, Badenoch said “I don’t want to hear about white lives matter. We all matter.” As a minister in the former Conservative government, Badenoch also promoted diversity and DEI hiring, despite posing as a critic of Critical Race Theory.
📺 MORE: On Friday, Vice President J.D. Vance added to the State Department’s commentary on the Nowak case, posting: “Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit.”

UK PM’s Office Attacks Vance for ‘Foreign Interference’ After Statement on Henry Nowak’s Murder.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s office has accused U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance of foreign interference for his statement on Henry Nowak’s murder and his mistreatment by British police officers.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Number 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has accused U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance of trying to “stir up division” following Henry Nowak’s murder and wrongful arrest.
📺 DETAIL: In response to the wrongful arrest and murder of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old white student in Southampton, England, who was fatally stabbed by a Sikh but arrested by the police instead of being helped because his killer accused him of racism, Vice President J.D. Vance has criticized European leaders for failing to combat “the politics of self-hatred” and mass migration. His comments follow a statement issued by the U.S. Department of State, which condemned “ideological conditioning” and “two-tier policing” in the United Kingdom. Subsequently, the Vice President called for “righteous anger” in a similar manner to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage calling for “pure cold rage” at the police’s treatment of Nowak. In response, Number 10 Downing Street suggested the Vice President was “trying to interfere” in British democracy, “seeking to stir up division,” and attempting to “further division, hatred or tension.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets… Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances. That is who we are as a country.” – Statement from Number 10 Downing Street.
🎯 IMPACT: This represents another response to a high-profile U.S. reaction to the wrongful arrest and murder of Henry Nowak, who was stabbed to death by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa with a Sikh religious dagger. When the police arrived at the scene, Digwa and his family falsely accused the dying Nowak of racism. The officers dismissed Nowak’s pleas for help and handcuffed him, and he died shortly after. The incident has sparked national and international outrage and a debate regarding two-tier policing and institutional anti-white ideology.

Vast Majority of Voters Want Voter ID in This State.

As Ohio lawmakers advance a resolution to enshrine voter ID requirements in the state constitution, a new poll has revealed overwhelming bipartisan support for such a measure.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Almost 90 percent of Ohio voters support a photo ID requirement for voting, according to a new poll.
📺 DETAIL: According to a new poll conducted by Honest Elections Project Action, an organization supporting election integrity measures, 86 percent of Ohio voters support photo ID requirements. This includes 99 percent of Republicans, 90 percent of independents, and 69 percent of Democrats in the state. The poll also revealed that 70 percent of Ohio voters favor a constitutional amendment to make voter ID permanent and mandatory. These findings follow the decision of Ohio’s state senate to pass Joint Resolution 10. The resolution could potentially amend the state’s constitution to include a photo voter ID requirement. While the measure is widely supported by Ohio voters, proponents of election integrity have raised concerns that the proposal does not address mail-in ballots. The poll also revealed that 69 percent of voters support ID requirements for absentee ballots. The poll surveyed likely voters between May 27 and June 2, 2026, with almost 90 percent of likely voters in November favoring photo voter ID requirements.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Our latest polling confirms that voter ID is exceedingly popular in Ohio. The Ohio House should quickly pass SJR 10, sending a ballot issue to voters to make voter ID permanent by enshrining it into the state constitution.” – Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action
🎯 IMPACT: The poll’s findings are likely to encourage lawmakers in the state legislature to support the measure. Ohio’s House of Representatives is expected to vote on amending the state constitution to require photo voter ID at some point in the near future. If passed, election integrity in the state would be significantly strengthened, mitigating voter fraud, identity theft, foreign interference, and other corrupt practices. The measure could also reverse declining public trust in elections. Whether the proposal is strengthened to prevent mail-in fraud remains to be seen. However, the data is clear that there is overwhelming bipartisan support for voter ID among the public, including roughly 70 percent of Democrats nationwide.
📺 FLASHBACK: Earlier in the year, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to crack down on mail-in ballot fraud. The order has since become the target of a coordinated left-wing lawfare campaign.

Vance Blasts European Elites Over Murder and Wrongful Arrest of Henry Nowak.

Vice President J.D. Vance has issued a strong statement on the murder of white teenager Henry Nowak, who was wrongfully arrested by the police as he was dying because his killer accused him of racism.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Vice President J.D. Vance has spoken out about the murder and wrongful arrest of Henry Nowak, a white teenager in Britain, who was handcuffed by the police instead of being helped as he died, because his killer, Vickrum Digwa, falsely accused him of racism.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit.” – J.D. Vance
📰 DETAIL: Vance criticized European elites for failing to protect their civilization, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “[Henry] should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.” Echoing Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage’s statement on Nowak, he added, “Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger.”
🎯 IMPACT: Vance’s statement highlights the ongoing tension between the Trump administration and governments in Britain and the European Union (EU), not just over foreign policy but over civilizational issues related to mass migration and the erosion of free speech. Early in the second Trump administration, Vance called out Britain’s censorship regime and warned at a conference in Europe, “Germany’s entire defense is subsidized by the American taxpayer… Do you think that the American taxpayer is going to stand for that if you get thrown in jail in Germany for posting a mean tweet?”

Council Controlled By Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Scraps Publicly-Funded ‘Refugee Week.’

The newly elected Reform UK council in St Helens, Merseyside, has canceled “Refugee Week,” signaling a shift in priorities under Nigel Farage’s party.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A newly elected local council led by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has canceled publicly-funded pro-immigration events scheduled for later this month.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “In light of the illegal immigration emergency facing Britain, we don’t think that this is an appropriate use of council resources.” – Councillor George Woodward, Reform UK leader of St Helens Borough Council in Merseyside, England
🎯 IMPACT: While the cancellation of the events has sparked anger from pro-migration activist groups, it has been received positively by locals and observers nationally. The Reform-led council has been praised for following through on its election commitments by defunding the Refugee Week events, freeing up funds for other priorities and alternative projects.
📰 DETAIL: Last month, Reform UK won a historic victory during the country’s local elections. Almost 1,500 Reform councillors were elected across the country. Among other victories, Reform secured a majority on St Helens Borough Council in Merseyside, England. Reform won 34 out of 48 seats on the council, while the governing Labour Party of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was reduced to just two seats. The council had previously allocated £60,000 (~$80,000) for “Refugee Week.” The event was scheduled for later this month. Reform withdrew all support and funding previously allocated by the formerly Labour-led council, citing concerns about resource allocation and the country’s ongoing illegal immigration crisis.
📺 FLASHBACK: The conduct of illegal immigrants and refugees has become a point of contention in the United Kingdom. Earlier this month, an African refugee shouted, “I don’t want to stay in England, f**k England, I don’t want to stay,” after being convicted of rape. Late last month, seven Afghan refugees were charged with grooming gang activity. In late April, three asylum seekers were found guilty of raping a woman on Brighton Beach in southern England.

Treasury Pushes Banks Over Payroll Fraud Connected to Illegal Immigrant Labor.

The Treasury Department has issued a new advisory urging banks to report payroll fraud schemes tied to illegal immigrant labor, citing significant financial and social consequences.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Treasury Department has issued an advisory to financial institutions, highlighting red flags for payroll fraud schemes that exploit illegal immigrant labor, urging banks to report suspicious activity to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These schemes often involve shell companies and labor brokers who use stolen or fraudulent identities to evade payroll taxes and exploit unauthorized workers.
📺 DETAIL: Treasury said banks reported more than $2.5 billion in suspicious activity linked to payroll tax fraud schemes in 2025, with industries such as construction, agriculture, hospitality, and domestic services frequently implicated. The advisory outlines 18 warning signs for financial institutions, including accounts opened with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers that receive large check deposits before rapidly withdrawing cash, and companies reporting substantial revenue but little payroll. Banks are encouraged to file suspicious activity reports and share concerns with federal immigration authorities. The Treasury cited a recent case in which Honduran nationals Iris Villafranca and Osman Donaldo Zapata were sentenced for operating a cash-payroll scheme that allegedly cost taxpayers more than $38 million. The guidance follows President Donald J. Trump’s executive order targeting financial abuses linked to illegal immigration and is part of a broader administration effort to strengthen border security and enforce immigration laws.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This administration will not allow illegal aliens to abuse financial institutions to steal billions of dollars from hardworking American taxpayers.” – Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
🎯 IMPACT: The advisory aims to protect legitimate businesses from unfair competition, prevent wage suppression, and safeguard taxpayer funds from being siphoned into illegal schemes. Banks are encouraged to file suspicious activity reports and collaborate with ICE to combat these practices. Ignoring such advisories could result in severe regulatory and reputational consequences for financial institutions.
