Tick Bites Linked to Rising ‘Red Meat Allergy’ Syndrome Cases.

Emergency room visits due to tick bites have significantly increased in the Midwest, with health experts warning about the risks of alpha-gal syndrome, a red meat allergy caused by Lone Star tick bites.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Emergency room visits caused by tick bites spiked from 39 to 137 per 100,000 ER visits between March and April in ten Midwest states, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a major government effort to treat alpha-gal and other tick-borne diseases.
📺 DETAIL: Health experts say the increase coincides with more people spending time outdoors during warmer months, leading to greater exposure to ticks. Missouri dermatologist and immunologist Benjamin Casterline said the aggressive Lone Star tick, common in the state, can cause alpha-gal syndrome, a food allergy triggered by red meat consumption. Symptoms can include hives, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea several hours after eating red meat, though not everyone bitten by a tick develops the condition. People are encouraged to spray clothing, use bug repellent, avoid tall grass, and perform regular tick checks during outdoor activities.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Even if you never recall being bitten by a tick, you still could have alpha-gal syndrome.” – Dr. Benjamin Casterline, dermatologist and immunologist
🎯 IMPACT: The rise in tick bites is increasing people’s risk of developing alpha-gal syndrome, potentially altering the diets and lifestyles of those affected. The National Pulse reported in March on claims that Lyme disease was partly the result of U.S. government and military attempts to develop tick-borne biological weapons in the 1960s. On Friday, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the government would be making a major push to treat Lyme disease, as well as alpha-gal, and bring the tick population under control.

Obama Judge Married to Biden’s Personal Defense Attorney Blocks Kennedy Center Renaming, Renovations.

A federal judge appointed by Barack Obama and married to Joe Biden’s personal defense attorney ruled that only Congress can rename the Kennedy Center, while also halting plans for a two-year closure for renovations.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A U.S. District Judge ruled that the renaming of the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts was unlawful, with the board being disallowed from adding President Trump’s name without Congressional approval. The judge also blocked the board’s decision to close the center for two years for renovations.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The Kennedy Center’s organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so. Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it,” insisted U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, husband of Joe Biden’s personal defense attorney, Amy Jeffress.
🎯 IMPACT: The Barack Obama appointee’s ruling prevents the board from renaming the national arts center or proceeding with a two-year closure, arguing this could have disrupted programming and memorial functions. Renovations may still move forward if the board reconsiders its decision in a manner the court considers balanced. President Trump considers a major overhaul necessary due to the center’s “tired, broken, and dilapidated” condition, proposing to “turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before.”
📺 DETAIL: The Kennedy Center’s board added President Trump’s name to the center in December, after he took up the position of center chairman personally and began moving to reverse its fortunes alongside Richard “Ric” Grenell.

Biden Misallocated Funds to Anti-Israel Protests, Terror-Linked NGOs: House Judiciary Memo.

A newly released memo from the House Judiciary Committee accuses the former Biden regime of misusing taxpayer funds to support anti-Israel protests and organizations allegedly tied to terrorism.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A newly released memo from the House Judiciary Committee accuses the former Biden regime of allowing federal grant money to flow to anti-Israel activist groups and nonprofits allegedly connected to extremist organizations. The report alleges agencies such as USAID and the State Department helped fund organizations that later supported anti-Israel demonstrations or politically active NGOs.
📺 DETAIL: Among the allegations, the committee said the Rockefeller Brothers Fund directed nearly $4 million to activist groups, while the Tides Network reportedly distributed more than $1 million to organizations lawmakers described as having ties to terrorist-linked entities. The memo also raises questions about whether several U.S.-based nonprofits, including the Jewish Communal Fund and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, improperly used their tax-exempt status to support radical political causes. Investigators also criticized the Israeli group Movement for Quality Government for allegedly refusing to fully cooperate with congressional inquiries related to funding behind anti-government protests in Israel. In addition, lawmakers pointed to an audit that found Abraham Initiatives, a U.S.-funded Israeli nonprofit, failed to meet required anti-terror compliance standards. The memo expands on a previous 2025 committee report that alleged federal grant programs were used to indirectly support protests against Israel’s judicial reform plans.
🎯 IMPACT: The allegations raise serious questions about the oversight of U.S. taxpayer funds and their potential misuse under Biden.

Six Chinese ‘Special Interest Aliens’ Caught Crossing the Border in Camouflage.

Texas authorities apprehended six Chinese nationals dressed in camouflage near the Mexico border, raising national security concerns.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Six Chinese nationals wearing camouflage clothing were arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents on a private ranch in Maverick County, Texas, near the Mexico border. Officials classified the individuals as “special interest aliens,” a designation for those who may pose a national security risk based on travel patterns.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The arrests occurred on the night of May 26 on a private ranch in Maverick County, Texas, as part of Operation Lone Star, a Texas-led border security initiative.
📺 DETAIL: According to Lt. Chris Olivarez of the Texas Department of Public Safety, the group was among 12 illegal immigrants apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol on a private ranch near the border. Officials said the Department of Homeland Security considers special interest aliens to be individuals whose travel patterns may indicate potential national security concerns. In a separate operation the same night, DPS tracking teams and Border Patrol agents apprehended seven additional migrants from Mexico, Guatemala, India, Ecuador, and Cuba on another ranch in Maverick County. Authorities said the arrests were part of Operation Lone Star, the border enforcement initiative launched by the state in 2021 to combat illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and cross-border crime. Texas officials noted similar recent cases involving Chinese nationals, including arrests in Maverick and Starr counties, where some migrants were allegedly wearing camouflage and colored wristbands associated with cartel-linked smuggling operations.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “These apprehensions highlight the ongoing efforts in deterring criminal activity along the southern border and the critical partnership between Texas DPS and our federal partners under Operation Lone Star.” – Lt. Chris Olivarez, Texas Department of Public Safety

Woke Judge Suspended Over Alleged Anti-White Racism.

Alabama probate judge Yashiba Glenn Blanchard faces suspension following accusations of racist comment against a white court clerk, as well as neglecting critical court cases.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: An Alabama judge has been suspended after being accused of making an anti-white remark, among other complaints.
📰 DETAIL: The Judicial Inquiry Commission’s filing alleges that Probate Judge Yashiba Glenn Blanchard made derogatory comments about Amanda Reid, a white court clerk. Allegedly, a court staffer told Blanchard that she liked Reid, to which Blanchard replied: “Oh, I forgot you all like kissing white ass.” Blanchard is also accused of postponing critical hearings for involuntarily committed patients in hospital so that she could walk her dogs, causing significant distress and disruptions. One attorney expressed concern over a client’s potential death due to Blanchard’s alleged negligence, saying, “Just hoping we do not have a continuance because I am so worried that my client is going to die.” Court documents allege 24 instances of hearings being delayed or canceled. Blanchard has also been accused of being regularly late to court and creating a backlog of court cases. Blanchard has been suspended. Her suspension is indefinite as the case proceeds, underscoring the serious nature of the allegations. Blanchard faces seven charges in total. The charges include violating multiple provisions of the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics.
🎯 IMPACT: This is not the first time that a judge has been accused of making anti-white remarks. In February last year, it was revealed that U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell, who blocked an order by President Donald J. Trump to freeze federal grant spending at the time, went on an anti-white, anti-Trump tirade in an interview a few years prior. Later that same year, Richard Bennett, a federal judge, upheld anti-white admissions policies at the United States Naval Academy. “The Academy has tied its use of race to the realization of an officer corps that represents the country it protects and the people it leads,” Bennett argued at the time.

‘Allahu Akbar’ Migrant Detained for Stabbing Police Officer.

A Gambian migrant allegedly attacked a Spanish police officer with a knife, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” during a violent confrontation in Valencia.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A 26-year-old migrant from Gambia was arrested in Xirivella, Spain, after allegedly attempting to kill a National Police sub-inspector with a kitchen knife while shouting “Allahu Akbar.” The attack occurred when police responded to a call for assistance from another Gambian man who reported a domestic disturbance involving the suspect.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred on the morning of May 26 in the town of Xirivella, in the Valencia region of Spain.
📺 DETAIL: Police were called to the apartment at around 9:30 AM after the suspect’s roommate reported that he had been smoking marijuana, blasting Islamic prayers and Quran recitations, and barricading himself inside his room. According to Spanish media reports, officers attempted to calm the man and asked him to leave the apartment, but he emerged with a large knife and lunged at an officer, aiming for his neck. The sub-inspector avoided the strike but was stabbed in the shoulder, with his protective vest preventing more serious injuries. During the struggle, the suspect reportedly shouted “Sacrifice me” as officers called for backup. Two additional officers suffered injuries while attempting to disarm and restrain him, and the suspect allegedly tried to jump from a window before being subdued. He now faces charges of attempted murder and assaulting a law enforcement officer.
🎯 IMPACT: The incident follows a stabbing spree, allegedly carried out by a Turkish immigrant, in Switzerland, and comes as Spain’s Socialist Party government is in the process of granting a mass amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.

Leftist Agitators Detained Amid Clashes at ICE Facility.

Leftist agitators clashed with law enforcement outside a New Jersey ICE facility, leading to arrests.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A chaotic protest at Delaney Hall detention center in New Jersey led to at least nine arrests on Thursday night as demonstrators clashed with law enforcement. Leftist agitators hurled insults such as “Take your gun and shoot yourself” and “Every cop, every fed, shoot yourself in the head” at law enforcement, and blocked vehicles and personnel from accessing the facility.
📺 DETAIL: Video from the scene shows multiple arrests as protesters scuffled with officers and used megaphones to taunt them. Activists claim detainees inside the facility are staging a hunger strike over alleged poor living conditions, though Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have denied the allegations. The protests escalated after New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill (D) said she was denied access to the facility on Memorial Day and demanded state health inspectors be allowed inside. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin responded that inspectors had already visited the site and insisted detainees are receiving meals, water, blankets, medical care, and access to legal counsel and family communication.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “On the evening of May 28th, approximately 100 anti-ICE rioters gathered around the Delaney Hall ICE facility. Rioters bit, kicked, and punched law enforcement officers. Governor Sherrill refused to allow state police to assist our officers,” Secretary Mullin wrote on social media on Friday, adding: “Assaulting and obstructing [ICE] law enforcement is a crime and felony. Throughout the night, nine rioters were arrested. Anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Law and order will prevail.”
🎯 IMPACT: The incident highlights ongoing tensions between activists and federal agencies over immigration enforcement, as well as disputes over transparency and detainee treatment. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill’s demand for state health inspectors to enter the facility further fueled the controversy, though DHS maintains inspections were already conducted.

AG Blanche Confirms Walz, Omar Are Not Immune From Fraud Indictments.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche warned that Democrat officials, including Governor Tim Walz and Representative Ilhan Omar, could face legal action for any complicity or negligence related to Minnesota’s welfare fraud crisis.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed late Thursday that elected Democrats, such as Governor Tim Walz and Representative Ilhan Omar, could be indicted over welfare fraud.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It does not matter if you’re a politician or if you’re a fraudster from Somalia. We cannot tolerate it.” – Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
📰 DETAIL: In an interview, Blanche confirmed that the Trump administration is willing to arrest elected officials if they are guilty of negligence or complicity in welfare fraud. “Here’s how we talk about accountability: we talk about arrests, prosecutions, and jail sentences. And that’s exactly what we’re doing at the Department of Justice,” the Acting Attorney General said. Blanche mentioned that the DOJ was working with other departments and agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Blanche confirmed that the DOJ was prepared to arrest elected politicians, specifically criticizing Democrat Governor Tim Walz and Somalia-born Representative Ilhan Omar for obstructing investigations into welfare fraud in their state. “Governor Walz is a great example. He has done… done nothing but sue us, OK? Sue the Department of Justice for trying to get records to understand the fraud happening in his state. So that is his reaction to us trying to save the government’s money and recover against fraudsters, is filing lawsuits against us.”
🎯 IMPACT: Welfare fraud in Minnesota spiraled into a national scandal following revelations in December last year and early January. The state’s Somali community has been heavily implicated, including multiple arrests of community leaders and members of prominent families. Following the revelations of widespread welfare fraud in Minnesota and whistleblower allegations of a cover-up, Governor Tim Walz abandoned his reelection bid. Since then, Walz has come under an increasing amount of pressure regarding the extent of his role in allowing state-wide welfare abuse. A former Minnesota state trooper accused Walz and state officials of obstructing investigations into fraudulent welfare programs and turning a blind eye to criminal activity.

WATCH: Bezos Rocket Explodes at Cape Canaveral.

A rocket belonging to Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin company exploded in a spectacular fireball overnight, potentially disrupting NASA plans for a U.S. Moon base.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A Blue Origin rocket exploded during a ground test at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Thursday night, causing extensive damage to the launch pad and affecting NASA’s plans for a lunar base. The cause of the explosion remains unknown.
📰 DETAIL: The explosion occurred during a hotfire test, with all personnel accounted for and safe. Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, intended to carry 48 low-Earth orbit satellites for Amazon Leo, was involved. The launch complex, completed in 2021, cost over $1 billion.
🎯 IMPACT: The explosion could disrupt NASA’s Artemis III mission, which involves Blue Origin in transporting astronauts to the Moon. Space Force has warned the public about potential debris washing ashore, advising against contact. “Spaceflight is unforgiving, and developing new heavy-lift launch capability is extraordinarily difficult,” commented NASA administrator Jared Isaacman, adding that the agency would “work with our partners to support a thorough investigation of this anomaly, assess near-term mission impacts, and get back to launching rockets.” He confirmed that “information on any impacts to the Artemis and Moon Base programs as it becomes available.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.” – Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin founder

Smugglers Transporting Drugs and Migrants by Yacht Are Targeting Inland Villages.

Illegal immigrants are entering the United Kingdom by yacht, not just small boat, at thousands of rural locations.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Illegal immigrants are being smuggled into the United Kingdom by yacht, according to new information from the British government.
📰 DETAIL: According to Home Office intelligence, illegal immigrants are being smuggled into the United Kingdom by yacht across approximately 9,000 locations. These locations include rural inland villages with small populations. The networks are operated by gangs that import drugs and other illegal contraband alongside migrants. The frequency of smuggling has led to a public awareness campaign with signs reading: “Boats arriving at unusual times? Report it. Let’s sort it,” to encourage people to report “suspicious” maritime behavior. This follows a series of arrests involving illegal migrants entering the United Kingdom by yacht. On Monday, it was reported that five men were arrested after a yacht carrying seven Albanian illegal migrants was intercepted at a marina on England’s south coast. In another case, a yacht carrying 20 Albanian migrants was intercepted off the coast of Cornwall.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It is more likely to be serious organized crime as opposed to opportunistic illegal migrants. These are people who have got money. This has always been a risk with the length of coastline we have. You cannot put a Border Force officer in every little harbour and monitor every beach and inlet.” – Tony Smith, former Director General of the Border Force
🎯 IMPACT: The issue adds an extra layer to the long-standing problem of migrants illegally entering the United Kingdom by boat. According to data released earlier this month, over 200,000 migrants have illegally entered the United Kingdom by crossing the English Channel on small boats.
