Just under one-quarter of young people in the United Kingdom (UK) would support banning the bible if certain passages conflict with modern “hate speech” laws, according to a recent survey from Whitestone Insights.
Pollsters asked 2,088 Britons to respond to the question: “Unless the offending parts can be edited out, books containing what some perceive as hate speech should be banned from general sale, including if necessary religious texts such as the Bible.”

They found that 23 percent of respondents between the ages of 18 and 34 said the Bible should be banned if it potentially causes offense. Hardly much better were those between ages 35 and 54, with 17 percent concurring. Another 13 percent of those aged 55 and above also agreed.
“We may no longer be a majority Christian population here in Britain. That’s even more reason to protect freedom of speech and belief for all,” said Lois McLatchie, the communications officer at Alliance Defending Freedom.
“We need a robust defense of religious freedom from those who craft our legislation, and we need to educate the ‘be kind’ generation on the truly hateful consequences of censorship before this type of thinking creeps further into reality,” she added.
Britain has seen a steady rise in hostility towards Christians over the past several decades. As of this year, it is illegal for Christians to silently pray outside abortion clinics.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The new rule was announced on Friday and is effective immediately across the United States.
💬KEY QUOTE: “California has 30 days to comply with the new regulations, or my department will withhold federal highway funds starting at nearly $160 million,” said Sean Duffy.
🎯IMPACT: The rule closes loopholes, enforces immigration checks, and pressures states to comply with federal regulations on issuing commercial licenses.
IN FULL
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Sean Duffy announced new rules for issuing commercial driver’s licenses that seek to make it more difficult for immigrants to acquire the licenses. The Transportation Department, on Friday, stated that the new rule—”effective immediately”—is a response to an ongoing nationwide audit by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and “a recent series of horrific, fatal crashes caused by non-domiciled drivers.”
One notable incident involved an illegal immigrant truck driver last month in Florida. The driver, holding a commercial driver’s license from California, caused a fatal crash on the Florida Turnpike. The semi-truck’s trailer jackknifed during an unauthorized U-turn, leading to a collision that killed three occupants of a minivan.
NEW: The illegal immigrant who is accused of taking 3 American lives while making an illegal U-turn was only able to accurately identify 1 of 4 highway traffic signs during an FMCSA interview.

The new rule mandates enforcement action against California for “gross negligence,” with the state given 30 days to comply or face withheld federal highway funds starting at $160 million. Sean Duffy also ordered California to halt issuing commercial licenses to immigrants and to identify non-compliant, unexpired licenses.
Immigrants will now be required to have an employment-based visa and undergo federal immigration checks through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system.
“California has 30 days to comply with the new regulations, or my department will withhold federal highway funds starting at nearly $160 million,” Duffy said.
Additional states, including Colorado, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington, have also failed to meet federal standards on issuing such licenses, according to the department. Duffy emphasized the nationwide impact of California’s licensing practices, as drivers often operate across state lines.

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Joanne Chesimard, convicted of the 1973 murder of a New Jersey state trooper, has died in Havana, Cuba, decades after escaping U.S. custody and receiving asylum from Cuba’s communist regime.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Chesimard passed away on September 25, 2025, in Havana, Cuba. Her crimes and escape date back to the 1970s.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Sadly, it appears she has passed without being held fully accountable for her heinous crimes.” – New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (D) and NJ State Police Superintendent Colonel Patrick Callahan.
🎯IMPACT: Chesimard’s death refocuses attention on Cuba’s harboring of U.S. fugitives and the denial of justice to Trooper Werner Foerster’s family.
IN FULL
Cuban officials announced Friday that radical black nationalist Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur, has died in Havana. Chesimard had been convicted in 1977 of the murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster during a 1973 shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike. She escaped from prison in 1979 and fled to Cuba, where she was granted asylum by the communist regime in 1984.
The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed her death, stating, “On September 25, 2025, American citizen Joanne Deborah Byron, ‘Assata Shakur,’ passed away in Havana, Cuba, due to health conditions and advanced age.” U.S. officials, including New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (D), expressed frustration that Chesimard evaded justice for decades. “For years, we have worked with the State Department to bring Chesimard back to New Jersey, so she could face justice for the cold-blooded murder of an American hero,” Murphy and NJ State Police Superintendent Colonel Patrick Callahan said in a joint statement.
Chesimard, a member of the Black Liberation Army, was added to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Most Wanted Terrorists List in 2013. The FBI described the group as “one of the most violent militant organizations of the 1970s.” A $1 million reward for her capture had been offered by both the FBI and the New Jersey Attorney General’s office.
The death of Trooper Werner Foerster, who left behind a wife and young son, remains a deeply painful memory for his family and colleagues. “We mourn Trooper Foerster’s loss every day, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his widow, Rosie, their son, Eric, and the entire New Jersey State Police family,” Murphy and Callahan stated. They also emphasized their opposition to any repatriation of Chesimard’s remains to the U.S.
The Cuban government has long refused to extradite Chesimard and other U.S. fugitives, drawing criticism from Trump administration figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “The Cuban regime continues to provide a safe haven for terrorists and criminals, including fugitives from the United States,” Rubio said earlier this year.
The State Department echoed this sentiment, stating, “On behalf of her victims, we regret that the Cuban dictatorship for decades protected this fugitive and prevented her from facing justice in our nation.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: The suspension occurred after Kimmel’s monologue on September 15, with his reinstatement announced on Friday. The show airs on ABC affiliates across the United States.
💬KEY QUOTE: “It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,” Kimmel claimed during his return monologue.
🎯IMPACT: Kimmel’s decision to spread a hoax that Kirk’s alleged assassin was MAGA, rather than a radical leftist, led to calls for accountability within Disney for his actions.
IN FULL
Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar announced on Friday that they will reinstate Jimmy Kimmel Live! on their ABC affiliates after a week-long ban. The suspension followed remarks by Kimmel spreading disinformation about the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk. Sinclair, which owns numerous ABC stations across the U.S., stated the decision came after “thoughtful feedback from viewers, advertisers, and community leaders.”
Kimmel returned to air on Tuesday for a number of other ABC affiliates, appearing to express regret for his remarks on Kirk’s murder but not actually apologizing. “It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,” Kimmel claimed.
The backlash began after Kimmel’s September 15 monologue, in which he criticized President Donald J. Trump and his allies for their reactions to Kirk’s assassination and claimed the far-left alleged killer was actually a MAGA movement member. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr, appointed by Trump, suggested during a podcast interview that ABC’s broadcast license could be revoked. In response, Sinclair and Nexstar Media Group temporarily pulled Kimmel’s show from their stations, with ABC as a whole following.
Disney, ABC’s parent company, announced Kimmel’s return on Monday, though Sinclair and Nexstar initially maintained their blackout. Sinclair had called for “accountability” within Disney.
President Trump criticized ABC’s decision to reinstate Kimmel, writing on Truth Social, “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back.”

💬KEY QUOTE: “To avoid losing all of Ukraine, [Zelensky] must not just negotiate, but agree to favorable terms—terms that, by and large, have been approved by the Americans,” said Lukashenko.
🎯IMPACT: Lukashenko claims the proposal is beneficial for Ukraine and broadly supported by the U.S., but skepticism remains due to Russia’s historical demands.
IN FULL
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, after a five-hour meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday, revealed that the Russian leader will soon announce a “very good proposal” for ending the war in Ukraine. The proposal, according to Lukashenko, has already been shared with former U.S. President Donald J. Trump during a summit in Alaska last month.
Lukashenko refrained from detailing the contents of the proposal, stating, “President Putin and I discussed it, but I won’t talk about it. The President himself will say.” He described the proposal as favorable for Ukraine, adding, “If the Ukrainians don’t accept these proposals, it will be like it was at the beginning of the special military operation. It will be even worse; they will lose Ukraine.”
Russia’s demands in the past have included territorial concessions from Ukraine, renunciation of NATO membership ambitions, and limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces—conditions Kiev has consistently rejected. Lukashenko suggested that he, Putin, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should meet to negotiate, though Russia insists such a meeting would require Zelensky to travel to Moscow.
In contrast, Trump recently stated that Ukraine could potentially regain all its lost territory due to Russia’s economic struggles, marking a shift in his stance. The Kremlin dismissed these comments, attributing them to Trump’s recent meeting with Zelensky. Lukashenko emphasized that Zelensky must negotiate and agree to the terms supported by the U.S. to avoid further losses.
Lukashenko faces Western sanctions over his support for Russia’s war in Ukraine. However, Trump has recently reached out to him, describing him as a “highly respected” leader and facilitating discussions that led to the release of over 50 political prisoners in Belarus.

💬KEY QUOTE: The New York City medical examiner’s office states it found “unambiguous evidence” of CTE after examining Tamura’s brain tissue, which he had requested be studied in his suicide declaration.
🎯IMPACT: The New York City medical examiner’s findings from examining Tamura’s brain tissue could prove crucial in shedding further light on CTE and how sports like football and soccer can impact the human brain.
IN FULL
The New York City Officer of the Chief Medical Examiner has posthumously diagnosed 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). In late July, Tamura opened fire at a New York City office building where the National Football League (NFL) headquarters was located, killing four individuals, including a New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer, with Tamura subsequently committing suicide.
Despite intending to target the NFL, Tamura went to the wrong floor of the building, killing people unconnected to the professional football league. The National Pulse reported at the time that Tamura played high school football in the California area and had in his possession a short declaration naming the NFL as his target and blaming the organization for a brain injury and subsequent mental illness. There are no records of Tamura ever having played in the NFL.
The New York City medical examiner’s office states it found “unambiguous evidence” of CTE after examining Tamura’s brain tissue, which he had requested be studied in his suicide declaration. According to the medical examiner’s findings, the 27-year-old suffered from “low-stage CTE,” which can only be authoritatively diagnosed post-mortem.
After playing high school football, Tamura began suffering from mental illness. However, prior medical records suggest he had not suffered any head injuries while playing football. The New York City medical examiner’s findings could prove crucial in shedding further light on CTE and how sports like football and soccer can impact the human brain. While most studies have focused on the impact of concussions as a cause of CTE, some medical professionals believe that less severe but more frequent blows to the skull—not resulting in a concussion—are a more likely cause.
NYPD officer Didarul Islam, Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner, security guard Aland Etienne, and Rudin firm employee Julia Hyman were killed in Tamura’s attack.

💬KEY QUOTE: Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby has publicly stated that Twiggs is in a “safe space very far away from St. George,” adding he needed “to lay low for a long time.”

Lance Twiggs—the transgender lover of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who allegedly assassinated Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk earlier this month—has fled the St. George, Utah home he shared with Robinson. According to neighbors, mail has piled up outside the house, and there has been no human activity on the property for some time.
While the disappearance of Twiggs—who was reportedly cooperating with federal investigators—has stoked conspiracies on social media, law enforcement insists nothing is out of the ordinary. Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby has publicly stated that Twiggs is in a “safe space very far away from St. George,” adding he needed “to lay low for a long time.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has not provided public comment on the matter, but there is speculation that Twiggs could be under FBI protection or holding as the investigation into Kirk’s assassination continues. Notably, a series of text messages between Robinson and Twiggs has come under intense scrutiny over the use of stilted language—leading some to posit the messages could have been an attempt by Robinson to create an alibi for Twiggs and others who could have known or helped coordinate the assassination of Kirk.
“I’m particularly not buying those text messages, it just seems too stilted, too much like a script—actually, like a bad script,” former Trump chief strategist and WarRoomhost Stephen K. Bannon remarked last week.
While authorities have stated that Twiggs is cooperating with law enforcement, his family members, speaking with the media, suggest ulterior motives. “[Twiggs] is very angry with anyone who is supportive of conservative ideals and Christian values,” a family member said in a recent interview, adding, “As far as I know, he was not going by another name. I just know he was in the process of transitioning. I know he was trying to take different medications.”
Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed during a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that the agency is investigating over 20 people connected to a Discord chat group allegedly involved in the planning of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

💬KEY QUOTE: “He does not have a background that suggests ‘progressive’ activism as is true of many Biden appointed district judges, particularly those in the last 2 years of his Admin.” – William Shipley
🎯IMPACT: The case assignment raises questions about judicial impartiality.
IN FULL
Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Joe Biden appointee who took the bench in 2021, has been assigned to oversee the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) prosecution of former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey. Nachmanoff, who serves on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, has set Comey’s arraignment for October 9, with the former FBI director facing charges of lying to Congress and obstructing justice.
The Biden-appointed judge is a former public defender who was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2021, receiving unanimous support from Democrats and three Republicans: Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). While Nachmanoff’s partisan association with the former Biden government has raised concerns regarding his ability to be impartial in the case, some clues in his background offer support to the notion that, among the possible judges in the Eastern District of Virginia—almost all Democrat appointees—he is the most Trump-friendly draw.
Despite false social media claims that Nachmanoff was hired at the DOJ by Comey—in reality, the judge was clerking for U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema at the alleged time of his DOJ employment—former federal prosecutor William Shipley has suggested the judge could be reasonably open to the prosecution’s arguments. Shipley, on social media, pointed to Nachmanoff’s 2021 appointment and past as a public defender, rather than a career government official or academic, as evidence he may not be an “activist progressive judge.”
“He does not have a background that suggests ‘progressive’ activism as is true of many Biden appointed district judges, particularly those in the last 2 years of his Admin,” Shipley wrote. Judge Nachmanoff’s record includes a recent case where he sided with the Trump administration in allowing the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to terminate Dr. Terry Adirim, who had implemented vaccine mandates under the Biden government.
However, President Donald J. Trump criticized the assignment of a Biden-appointed judge, calling Nachmanoff “crooked” on Truth Social. “He [Comey] was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he’s off to a very good start,” Trump wrote.
Comey has denied the allegations through his attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald. “Jim Comey denies the charges filed today in their entirety. We look forward to vindicating him in the courtroom,” Fitzgerald said in a statement.

🎯IMPACT: The declaration will still move forward for final approval in October, with broad international support expected despite U.S. objections.
IN FULL
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced that the United States would reject a United Nations (UN) political declaration aimed at addressing non-communicable diseases. The declaration, which has been in development for years, outlines a roadmap for combating chronic diseases such as cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and cancer, as well as promoting mental health.
Kennedy Jr. stated, “The United States will walk away from the declaration, but we will never walk away from the world or our commitment to end chronic disease.” He criticized the declaration for exceeding the UN‘s proper role while failing to address what he described as the most pressing health issues. He also mentioned concerns from the Trump administration regarding “radical gender ideology” and abortion.
The declaration sets ambitious targets for 2030, including reducing tobacco users by 150 million, enabling 150 million more people to control hypertension, and increasing access to mental health care. It also highlights the impact of non-communicable diseases, which cause 43 million global deaths annually, with 18 million occurring before the age of 70, primarily in low- and middle-income countries.
Despite some concerns about the document’s content, such as its omission of sugary beverages’ role in childhood obesity, there has been widespread support among UN members for its adoption. The World Health Organization stated that “world leaders have expressed overwhelming support for the text.”
The U.S. rejection of the declaration aligns with broader criticisms from the Trump administration of UN agencies, including the World Health Organization (WHO). However, the declaration is expected to move forward, with UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock indicating that it will be considered for final approval by member states in October.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The year leading up to June 2024, across the United Kingdom.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The Labour government are continuing the Boriswave and our lives are all getting poorer because of it. Only Reform will control our borders.” – Nigel Farage
🎯IMPACT: The British population reached 69.3 million, with net immigration accounting for 98 percent of the growth.
IN FULL
The United Kingdom‘s population grew by more than three-quarters of a million people in the year leading up to June 2024, marking the second-largest annual increase since the late 1940s. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), net immigration was the primary contributor, accounting for 98 percent of this growth.
Nigel Henretty from the ONS highlighted, “The UK population has increased each year since mid-1982. Net international migration continues to be the main driver of this growth, continuing the long-term trend seen since the turn of the century.”
In mid-2024, Britain’s population was estimated at 69.3 million, up from 68.5 million in mid-2023. The number of people immigrating to the country was estimated at 1,235,254, with 496,536 people emigrating, resulting in a net migration figure of 738,718. This was the largest factor in the overall population growth.
“The rate of population increase has been higher in recent years, and the rise seen in the year to mid-2024 represents the second largest annual increase in numerical terms in over 75 years,” Henretty said.
Although births outnumbered deaths slightly, contributing 16,239 to the population increase, the total number of births was the lowest in at least 42 years.
Reform Party leader Nigel Farage criticized Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government, stating, “The Labour government are continuing the Boriswave and our lives are all getting poorer because of it. Only Reform will control our borders.”
The “Boriswave” refers to the unprecedented immigration surge engineered by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson following Brexit and the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite promising to reduce net immigration in his election platform.
The National Pulse reported on Thursday that immigration—especially among Muslims—likely accounts for a large part of a surge in belief in God(s) in the United Kingdom. August data from YouGov shows that 37 percent of Britons between the ages of 18 and 24 say they believe in God, a significant uptick from August 2021, when only 16 percent of the same demographic believed in God.
While some have interpreted the YouGov data to signal a Christian religious revival in the United Kingdom—some polling indeed shows a 56 percent increase in adult church attendance compared to 2018—a closer look at the data for demographic groups over the age of 25 shows modest declines in belief in God. When coupled with migration data, this suggests that the increase in faith is substantially driven by mass migration policies.
The population of the UK continued to grow in the year to mid-2024, reaching an estimated 69.3 million people (69,281,400), up 1.1% (755,300) from mid-2023.
This growth represents the second-largest annual numerical increase for over 75 years.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Wednesday afternoon in Times Square, New York City.
💬KEY QUOTE: “How could it not have been voter fraud?” – Harris supporter Kathleen Sapio
🎯IMPACT: The Harris supporters’ attitude underscores that, as in 2016, many on the left are unable to accept that their fellow Americans prefer Donald J. Trump’s policies to Democrat policies.
IN FULL
Diehard Kamala Harris supporters are insisting that she is the real President of the United States, denying the results of the 2024 election. The views were expressed to The Cut by members of a small group of Harris acolytes gathered outside a theater in New York’s Times Square to hear her talk about her new book, 107 Days, which details her failed presidential campaign.
Kathleen Sapio, who works in distribution at a major broadcaster, outlined a conspiracy theory involving Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network somehow altering the results of the election, saying, “How could it not have been voter fraud?”
Attendee Jay Grogan proudly described himself as “bluelulu”—a play on “delulu,” meaning “delusional,” which refers to Democrat election deniers. He complained swing states had been called too quickly on election night, insisting there “were too many anomalies” and again referencing the Starlink conspiracy theory.
“Afterward, I was like, ‘Something is off,’ and of course it made me feel delusional. Then I got online and I was like, ‘OK, I’m not alone,'” he told The Cut, essentially confirming that leftist communities online are encouraging delusional beliefs among Democrats.
Teacher Lori Delrosso said flat-out of Harris, “She’s the President. She won.” She also referenced Starlink.
Fellow teacher Laura Mastrangelo expressed shock that Harris “didn’t get more votes from women and minorities,” demanding: “What happened in Pennsylvania?”
A black law professor in her sixties, identified only as “Ann,” told The Cut that she does not think “we’ll ever know” if President Trump stole the election, “But I do think that even if they didn’t steal it, there was so much significant voter suppression going on that it wasn’t a fair election in general.”
Despite conceding that the claims the 2024 election was stolen by Starlink or some other means, The Cut features writer Angelina Chapin said the “bluelulu” advocates “nearly convinced” her.
The event itself ended up being interrupted by demonstrators who stood up to accuse Harris of complicity in genocide in Gaza.

Many people are shocked to learn that because of active censorship, we currently have to spend more time making sure you can even see The National Pulse, than on producing the news itself. Which sucks. Because we do this for the truth, and for you.
But the regime doesn’t want you being informed. That’s why they want us to go away. And that will happen if more people don’t sign up to support our work. It’s basic supply and demand. So demand you get to read The National Pulse, unrestricted. Sign up, today.
We don’t sell ads, and refuse corporate or political cash. It all comes down to you, the reader. I hope you can help.
