Court Hears Lindsay Clancy Supporter Sent Disturbing Texts Before Hanging Toddler Son.

A suburban Chicago mother who supported Lindsay Clancy faces first-degree murder charges after her two-year-old son was found hanged.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Corie Walsh, a 40-year-old Illinois mother, has been charged with first-degree murder after her two-year-old son, Barrett “Bear” Walsh, was found hanged in the basement of their suburban Chicago home on September 1. Prosecutors allege Walsh was influenced by the Lindsay Clancy trial, supporting the woman who strangled her three young children to death in what she claims was an episode of psychosis.
📺 DETAIL: Prosecutors revealed that Walsh had discussed the Clancy case in a group chat on the day of her son’s murder, and allegedly planned to poison her husband with prescription medications. Walsh’s defense team claims that she was suffering from “psychosis,” as Clancy supposedly was, by pure coincidence, and dismissed allegations of a “copycat” killing. Walsh reportedly referred to her son as “the Devil” and “the Antichrist” during police questioning.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It’s manslaughter. Please help. I’m really freaking out,” Walsh texted friends during jury deliberations in Clancy’s case, apparently concerned that the child killer would be found guilty on one of the lesser charges against her.
🎯 IMPACT: Walsh will remain in custody ahead of her trial, with the judge ordering that she receive psychiatric treatment while in jail. Her next court appearance is scheduled for September 24.
📺 FLASHBACK: The Lindsay Clancy case, referenced by Walsh, involved a Massachusetts mother who admitted to killing her three children but pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis and overmedication, despite having seemingly planned the killings by sending her husband away to collect takeout she had ordered and later texting him to also collect medicine for her at a CVS pharmacy, to give her more time to take their children to the basement one by one and strangle them to death with exercise bands. The case ended in a mistrial, with prosecutors indicating that they intend to retry her.

9/11 Families Tell Mamdani to Stay Away From Memorial Ceremony.

Families of 9/11 victims and first responders have called on New York City’s Muslim immigrant mayor to skip the attacks’ memorial ceremony, citing his lack of support for their community.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A coalition of 9/11 family members, first responders, and elected officials have publicly asked New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) not to attend this year’s September 11 memorial service.
📺 DETAIL: On Tuesday, during an event outside City Hall, 9/11 family members pleaded for the Mayor to abstain from attending the upcoming 25th anniversary commemoration service of the 9/11 attacks. “We don’t believe in what he believes in, and we really want us to be left alone… This 25th anniversary is for victims and survivors to blend in and pray that day for all the families—not have a circus around us,” said Giovanni Galante, whose wife was killed on 9/11. “If we feel that we don’t want someone at our world-class memorial museum that’s sacred and hallowed, we feel that that person should respect our wishes… He didn’t go to the 20th … so I don’t know why he’s so adamant about going to this one when we just ask that he just respect us from 7 to 11 and let us have our mourning,” said Monica Iken, whose husband was killed on 9/11. The event was attended by New York City Council Member Vickie Paladino (R), who announced the coalition’s intention to deliver a petition with 101,000 signatures to City Hall ahead of the service on Friday. “I am demanding that he not show his face at that sacred ground… He does not belong there… We the people do not care for Zohran Mamdani—101,000 names is not a drop in the bucket. Do not, Zohran Mamdani, take us New Yorkers for granted. We were there that day. The sky looked very similar to this. Stay put. Stay in City Hall and promote your propaganda,” said Paladino.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This mayor is not serving us… He’s serving himself. We are asking respectfully that he not show up… Even though there is going to be other politicians there, these are the politicians that helped us push beneficial laws through and literally held our hand during that time… Mayor Mamdani has not shown any of that, none of it. He just wants to be there because he wants to be there… So we are asking him to respect the fact that that trauma is revived during the ceremony. It is a private ceremony. It is not a public ceremony. Mayor Mamdani, please do not come,” said Charles Wolf, who lost his wife on 9/11.
🎯 IMPACT: The coalition has clarified that other politicians who have supported 9/11-related legislation and personally supported the victims’ families are welcome at the ceremony. This response shows that a sizeable portion of 9/11 families and others affected by the attacks do not believe that Mayor Mamdani supports them. The Twelver Muslim mayor, originally from Uganda, has made several comments and decisions in the past that have alienated survivors and victims of 9/11, from bemoaning the so-called “Islamophobia” after 9/11 to appointing lawyer Ramzi Kassem as Chief Counsel, after he previously stated that the attacks reflected “the resentment these terrorists felt,” and “the legacy of 9/11 ought to be recounted primarily through the stories of Muslims.”

Streamer Who Said ‘America Deserved 9/11’ Backs AOC for President Ahead of 25th Anniversary.

Far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker has affirmed his support for Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as Democrat politicians push to distance themselves from the Turkey-raised influencer.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker will endorse Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for President in 2028 despite ongoing attempts by the wider Democratic Party to distance themselves from him.
📺 DETAIL: Piker has faced widespread criticism from both parties in recent weeks for various incendiary comments, including his past claim that the United States “deserved 9/11” and that violence “against Jews” will come about as a result of Jewish support for Israel. A growing number of Democrat lawmakers, politicians, and others in the party have disavowed the controversial streamer, encouraging colleagues to do the same ahead of the 2026 midterm elections in November. In an interview at Socialism Conference 2026 earlier this month in Chicago, Piker said that he intends to be “as careful as possible,” adding that his streams are the “perfect opportunity to create viral media moments.” “My job is not to make the Democratic Party look good,” said Piker. He endorsed Rep. Alexandria “AOC” Ocasio-Cortez for President in 2028. This follows the decision of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), of which AOC is a member, to come to Piker’s defense earlier this month, describing him as “our Twitch streamer.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I think she’s great… She would have some difficulties, of course, but hurdles can be climbed over, and I think she can do it,” said Piker.
🎯 IMPACT: Piker’s rhetoric threatens to alienate moderate voters and could undermine Democrat support in key races, such as the Michigan Senate race, where far-left Democrat candidate Abdul El-Sayed has been scrutinized for his closeness to Piker. This underscores the growing division within the Democrats over whether to embrace the far-left politics of organizations like the DSA. Piker’s growing influence coincides with the rise in support for socialism among Democrats as well as the rise in Democrat-aligned adults self-describing as Democratic Socialists. It also demonstrates the willingness of Piker to utilize his platform to boost far-left Democrats.
📺 FLASHBACK: In late August, it was reported that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez had re-joined the DSA after a seven-year membership lapse, building speculation of a presidential run in 2028. “Democratic Socialists of America confirms Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a member in good standing of our organization, having recently rejoined in August 2026,” announced the DSA. In July, the New York representative topped a poll of potential Democrat candidates for President.

Israeli Nat Sec Chief Backs Argentina’s Claim to the Falklands, Accuses Britain of ‘Stealing Money’ from the Argentines.

Senior Israeli officials have called on Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s fraudulent claim to the Falklands, a British Overseas Territory, after the British government announced a ban on imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s fraudulent claims to Britain’s Falkland Islands, which have belonged to the United Kingdom longer than the modern-day Argentine Republic has existed , and where over 99 percent of the almost entirely British-descended population voted to remain British in a 2013 referendum.
📺 DETAIL: On Tuesday, the Labor Party-controlled British government, led by Prime Minister Andy Burnham, announced an import ban targeting goods from Israeli settlements in the West Bank , characterizing the settlements as causing the “destruction of the two-state solution.” The import ban was fast-tracked for implementation following the announcement of Israeli plans to expand settlement construction in the West Bank. In response, Ben-Gvir called on Prime Minister Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s claim to the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic. “The British are not content with merely occupying the territory; they also carry out oil drilling there and steal the money from the Argentine people,” posted Ben-Gvir on X (formerly Twitter). “Expel the British ambassador tonight! We will not be a doormat trampled by an anti-Semitic government, in a country conquered by radical Islam, trying to save itself from economic and social decline by attacking Jews and the State of Israel. The British Mandate in the Land of Israel is over,” added Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on X, referring to Britain’s former governance of the region. Soon after, Gideon Sa’ar, Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced plans to shut down the British consulate in Jerusalem, expel British representatives from the international aid center in Kiryat Gat in southern Israel, end British training of Palestinian Authority forces in the West Bank, and ban a dozen British officials from entering Israel.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I call upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands and to impose sanctions on Great Britain as long as the occupation [of the islands] continues,” posted Ben-Gvir.
🎯 IMPACT: The escalating rhetoric underscores the growing diplomatic tension between Israel and the United Kingdom. The push by Israeli officials to recognize Argentine sovereignty over the Falklands is highly likely to spark backlash from the islands’ inhabitants, who overwhelmingly voted to remain a British Overseas Territory back in 2013. Specifically, 99.8 percent of the inhabitants voted to remain British. This coincides with growing concern surrounding the fate of the Falklands since the World Cup, at which the Argentine national team displayed a banner reading “Las Malvinas son Argentinas,” meaning, ‘The Malvinas (Falklands) are Argentine.’
📺 FLASHBACK: Ben-Gvir previously courted controversy in June when he called for all-out war with Lebanon , in defiance of the Trump administration, stating, “For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!” Significantly, while Iran’s Hezbollah proxies operate from Lebanon, the organization does not have the approval of Lebanon’s legitimate government, which outlawed it in March but lacked the military means to force it to comply with an order to surrender.

WATCH: ‘Christian’ Talarico Argues Jesus and Allah Are ‘Equal Pathways to Truth.’

Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico has argued that Allah, the “Great Spirit,” and other religious concepts are “equal pathways to truth” alongside Jesus Christ, casting further doubt on his claims to be a Christian.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Democrat Texas Senate candidate James Talarico is facing renewed scrutiny of his claims to be a Christian after a video resurfaced showing him describing Islam, Christianity, and other religions as “equal pathways to truth.” Talarico said he views the world’s religions as different paths leading toward the same “divine mystery,” specifically naming God, Yahweh, Allah, Nirvana, and the Great Spirit as “different pathways to the same fundamental truth of reality.”
📺 DETAIL: The comments contradict traditional Christian teachings that Jesus Christ is the exclusive path to salvation, with Christ stating in the New Testament that “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Significantly, Talarico has made similar statements in the past, including a 2021 Texas House invocation that referenced the Torah, Quran, Gita, Dharma, and the First Epistle of John before concluding, “In all your many names, we pray.” More recently, Talarico said Islamic mystics and Muslim poet Rumi had influenced his supposed Christian faith as much as Christian writers. Talarico attends St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, which The National Pulse reported supports abortion and funds pro-abortion organizations, with Talarico having argued that the Bible’s account of the Virgin Mary’s consent to bear Christ informs his position on abortion. The Democrat candidate has separately faced criticism over previous comments describing Christianity as the “most violent” religion, saying it had done more damage to Islam than any other faith, and arguing that God is “beyond gender,” despite being described explicitly in masculine terms in the Bible. These comments have placed Talarico’s interpretation of Christianity at the center of continuing debate as he campaigns for the Democratic nomination in the Texas Senate race.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Whether it’s God or Yahweh or Allah or Nirvana, the Great Spirit, whatever you call it, this is all, you know, different pathways to the same kind of fundamental truth of reality.” – James Talarico
🎯 IMPACT: Talarico’s comments could make his religious views a significant issue in the Texas Senate campaign, particularly among Christian voters who believe Jesus Christ is not an optional extra to true faith. His statements also provide opponents with additional material to question the authenticity of his Christianity and the way he presents himself to the public.

Trump Economy: Unemployment Among Non-College Graduates Falls to 23-Year Low.

A new report has revealed the decline in unemployment among young Americans without college degrees as college-educated graduates struggle to compete with Artificial Intelligence, underscoring a notable divergence between the two groups.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Unemployment among non-graduates in the United States has hit its lowest point in recent history, according to a new report.
📺 DETAIL: According to analysis by the Burning Glass Institute, a data research firm, unemployment among American workers between 22 and 34 without college degrees has declined to a rate comparable to the low of 2003. The analysis coincides with a jobs report from August, which showed that 162,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy, particularly in sectors like manufacturing, construction, leisure, and hospitality. Meanwhile, the Burning Glass Institute attributed to relatively poor hiring opportunities for graduates to the automation of entry-level work by AI, noting, “[M]ore Americans have college degrees than ever, just as artificial intelligence is doing more of the entry-level work companies typically hire young graduates for.” The overall unemployment rate sits at 4.1 percent, according to the report.
🎯 IMPACT: The findings underscore a growing demand for vocational skills while the number of entry-level, white-collar job openings is contracting, with the Institute arguing this is a response to AI automation and organizations like U.S. Tech Workers warning that it is a consequence of H-1B migrants flooding the jobs market. The analysis also indicates an oversupply of degree holders in general. This could prompt a re-evaluation of career paths and educational priorities among younger Americans.

Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Brought Down by Major Corruption Scandal.

Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko stepped down following allegations of involvement in a major corruption scheme.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko announced his resignation on September 7 amid a major corruption scandal. The resignation follows an investigation into an alleged protection racket involving senior officials in the Prosecutor General’s Office. He described his resignation as a “political decision,” claiming he did not want the position of Prosecutor General “to be used as an instrument of political confrontation.”
📰 DETAIL: The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office uncovered a criminal organization allegedly led by a senior official in the Prosecutor General’s Office. The group is accused of protecting fraudulent call centers and laundering millions of hryvnias, the Ukrainian national currency. Kravchenko, although not charged, was implicated in the investigation, with recordings released by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau containing details about a “boss” that match Kravchenko. The Prosecutor General’s Office also believes the “boss” in the recordings is Kravchenko.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I have submitted my resignation from the position of Prosecutor General. This is a political decision. And I made it consciously. I do not want the position of Prosecutor General to be used as a tool for political confrontation. My position on the charges remains unchanged,” Kravchenko stated in a Telegram post confirming his resignation.
🎯 IMPACT: Kravchenko’s resignation could lead to significant changes within Ukraine’s legal and political landscape. The case highlights Ukraine’s ongoing issues with corruption, with scandals bringing down a number of senior politicians, government officials, and political donors close to President Volodymyr Zelensky. The wartime leader, who has remained in post far beyond the end of his term thanks to martial law, recently faced widespread protests when he tried to fire a reform-minded war minister. He also previously faced protests for attempting to abolish the country’s anti-corruption agencies.

Populist Victory in Germany Shakes European Establishment.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has achieved a historic victory in Saxony-Anhalt, undermining the stability of Germany’s political establishment.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party made a major advance in Sunday’s Saxony-Anhalt state elections, winning 44 percent of the vote and more than doubling its support from the previous election, although it fell short of the supermajority it had sought. Chancellor (Prime Minister) Friedrich Merz said the result had shaken his notionally center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, formerly led by migrant crisis architect Angela Merkel, “to its very foundations,” calling it his party’s most serious election defeat in decades and warning that it would have consequences far beyond Saxony-Anhalt.
📺 DETAIL: The result further challenges Germany’s political “Brandmauer,” or firewall, against allowing the eurosceptic, anti-mass migration AfD into governing coalitions, as the populist party has expanded its representation both at the state level and in the federal parliament. The outcome also reflects a broader trend across Europe, where populist-right parties have gained significant support and, in several countries, entered governing coalitions or become major opposition forces. In the European Parliament, which debates European Union-level legislation, three such political groupings collectively hold 196 seats, making them the second-largest force by combined seat count. National populist parties have influenced debates over immigration, Ukraine policy, and climate legislation. Analysts say the AfD’s support is driven largely by domestic concerns, including mass migration, stagnant wages, deindustrialization, and dissatisfaction with establishment parties. U.S. figures such as Vice President JD Vance have publicly supported the AfD and criticized Germany’s firewall as undemocratic. 
🎯 IMPACT: Upcoming elections in Berlin and the Mecklenburg region will further test whether the populist trend is a regional anomaly or part of a broader transformation of German politics.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It is the most severe election defeat the CDU has suffered in years, indeed in decades.” – Friedrich Merz, German Chancellor and CDU leader

Report: Netanyahu Received Advance Warnings of October 7 Attacks, But Dismissed Them.

A new report alleges that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed direct warnings from leaders in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) about an imminent Hamas attack just days before the October 7 massacre.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly dismissed explicit warnings from United Arab Emirates (UAE) President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel about a major Hamas operation just days before the October 7, 2023, terror raids. The warnings, conveyed in late September and early October, allegedly highlighted plans by Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar for a significant attack, referred to as a “terrifying operation.”
📺 DETAIL: According to a report in Haaretz, Israel’s oldest daily newspaper, Netanyahu was warned during a 45-minute call with the UAE president and separately by Egypt’s intelligence chief, but he dismissed the concerns, believing Hamas would focus on the West Bank. Former Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief Ronen Bar and ex-Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief Herzi Halevi stated they were not informed of these warnings. Intelligence from a Palestinian intermediary reportedly reached Israeli security as early as mid-September, describing plans for a massive operation.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “An absolute lie! Prime Minister Netanyahu did not speak with the President of the United Arab Emirates during the period in question and did not receive any warning from him,” – Netanyahu’s office, in a statement to The Jerusalem Post
🎯 IMPACT: The allegations, if true, raise serious questions about Netanyahu’s handling of intelligence in the lead-up to the October 7 Hamas attack, which resulted in mass casualties and kidnappings. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has publicly confirmed the warnings were issued, further fueling the controversy. Netanyahu’s office has strongly denied the claims, calling them false.

America First Legal Challenges California’s ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act.’

AFL and attorney John W. Howard have filed a lawsuit arguing that California’s “Stop Nick Shirley Act” unlawfully restricts journalistic freedoms and violates constitutional rights.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: America First Legal (AFL) and attorney John W. Howard filed a lawsuit against California on Friday to challenge the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” a state law they argue unlawfully restricts journalistic activities. The lawsuit notes the law was created to target independent journalist Nick Shirley, whose investigative reporting into Somali-run daycares and other businesses defrauding the government generated massive public attention.
📺 DETAIL: The lawsuit alleges that the law constitutes viewpoint-based discrimination, violates First and Fourteenth Amendment protections, and is an Ex Post Facto Law in breach of Article I of the Constitution. Nick Shirley, known for exposing alleged fraud in Minneapolis and later expanding his investigations into California, is said to be the specific target of the legislation. AFL and Shirley are seeking a court ruling to declare the law unconstitutional and to halt its enforcement.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “California has decided to push for less transparency and create laws that penalize citizens and journalists for looking into potential fraud inside immigration support services providers.” A written demand is all it takes to stop the publishing of a video in California. Enough is enough.” – Nick Shirley
🎯 IMPACT: If successful, the lawsuit could set a significant precedent for protecting citizen journalists from laws seeking to suppress investigative reporting.

Trump DHS Mounts Another Attempt to Limit Birthright Citizenship.

The Department of Homeland Security has introduced a proposal to redefine birthright citizenship, targeting children born to foreign government employees in the U.S.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed a rule to deny birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S. to foreign government employees unless at least one parent is a U.S. citizen. Instead, these children could apply for lawful permanent resident status under existing immigration processes.
📺 DETAIL: The proposed rule expands the current exemption for children of foreign diplomats to include a broader category of foreign government employees, such as embassy staff, consulate workers, and employees of international organizations with immunity. The rule is based on the administration’s interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, arguing that these children are “not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” unless one parent is a U.S. citizen.
🎯 IMPACT: If finalized, the rule could redefine how the 14th Amendment applies to certain U.S.-born children, potentially limiting the scope of automatic citizenship and altering interpretations of birthright citizenship. Critics argue this could lead to legal challenges and further debates over the meaning of the Citizenship Clause.
📺 FLASHBACK: The Trump administration has consistently sought to narrow the interpretation of birthright citizenship, with this latest move following Executive Order 14418, Continuing To Protect the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship, signed in August.
