Ukraine Has Struck ‘American-Linked’ Ships and Oil Supplies: Rubio.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that U.S.-linked oil infrastructure is being caught in Ukrainian strikes amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that American-linked oil infrastructure has been targeted by Ukraine in recent months amid its war with Russia, although he added that the strikes were “probably” not deliberate. Rubio said the incidents were among Washington’s concerns as the conflict threatens to pull U.S. interests into the fighting.
📺 DETAIL: Rubio linked recent increases in oil prices to fighting between Russia and Ukraine in the Black Sea, as well as the conflict involving Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen. It was not immediately clear which specific incidents Rubio was referring to, although Ukraine has carried out strikes on the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, which hosts export facilities for the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. The consortium counts U.S. energy companies Chevron and ExxonMobil among its major shareholders. Rubio’s comments came ahead of a scheduled meeting between President Donald J. Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the United Nations General Assembly, with Rubio saying Washington supports a proposed ceasefire covering energy infrastructure on both sides. Rubio said halting attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and Russian energy producers would be an “ideal outcome.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “American-linked ships, American oil supplies have been targeted, probably not deliberately, but targeted nonetheless by Ukraine. And so that’s something that needs to be addressed.” – Marco Rubio
🎯 IMPACT: The remarks underscore Washington’s concern that the Russia-Ukraine conflict could affect U.S. energy interests and contribute to higher global oil prices. Support for an energy infrastructure ceasefire could give the Trump administration another avenue for reducing risks to global energy supplies while limiting the potential for American-linked assets to be caught in the fighting in Eastern Europe.

DATA: One-Third of Democrats Would Feel Positive About Trump Being Assassinated.

A new poll shows troubling attitudes towards political violence among Democrat voters, with significant support for President Trump’s assassination.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A new poll found that significant numbers of Democrat voters expressed positive reactions to various scenarios that would remove President Donald J. Trump from office, including some involving his death or a military takeover of the government. According to the Center for Strategic Politics survey, 59 percent of Democratic respondents said they would feel “very positive” or “somewhat positive” if a military junta overthrew Trump and seized control of the government, while 55 percent said they would react positively to news that Trump had died peacefully. The poll also found that 32 percent of Democratic respondents would feel positive if Trump was assassinated at a rally, compared with 43 percent who said they would react negatively and 25 percent who would be neutral.
📺 DETAIL: Support was higher for constitutional or political means of removing Trump, with 87 percent saying they would react positively to impeachment and removal, and 84 percent saying the same about removal under the 25th Amendment. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has left open the possibility of another impeachment effort, saying earlier this month that Democrats had “not ruled anything in and… not ruled anything out” and would “follow the facts.” The survey further found that large majorities of Democrats support prosecuting Trump administration officials over immigration enforcement, the war in Iran, and strikes against suspected drug traffickers. Other proposals receiving majority support included prosecuting Trump and Biden government officials over the Israel-Hamas war, ending the Senate filibuster, and expanding the Supreme Court. Among potential 2028 Democratic presidential contenders, Kamala Harris led with 25 percent, followed by Gavin Newsom at 15 percent, Pete Buttigieg at 13 percent, Jon Ossoff at 10 percent, Mark Kelly at nine percent, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at eight percent. The poll surveyed 683 Democratic voters on September 3 and from September 8-10, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.75 percentage points.
🎯 IMPACT: The poll highlights the intensity of Democratic opposition to President Donald J. Trump, with substantial portions of respondents expressing support for extraordinary measures, including death or a military coup, to remove him from office. The findings could fuel debate over political polarization and left-wing extremism ahead of the midterm elections.
📺 FLASHBACK: The poll follows multiple assassination attempts on Trump during his 2024 candidacy and presidency, including a shooting in Butler where a gunman hit his ear and killed one of his supporters, Corey Comperatore.

Mamdani Again Calls for Netanyahu’s Arrest in NYC.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has urged the U.S. to enforce an International Criminal Court warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as he visits Manhattan to attend the United Nations General Assembly.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) has renewed his call for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he travels to New York City this week for the United Nations General Assembly. Mamdani, a Democratic socialist and Muslim immigrant, has repeatedly backed the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu and argued that the United States should enforce it, despite Washington not being a party to the Rome Statute that created the court.
📺 DETAIL: The ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in 2024, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on the Jewish State. Netanyahu has rejected the allegations as false and absurd. Mamdani has previously shown support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, and used of the phrase “globalize the intifada.” More recently, controversy has surrounded Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, over social media activity involving posts celebrating Hamas’s October 7 attack.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “If the International Criminal Court deems someone worthy of an arrest because of a violation of those laws, then who are we to say that anyone should be above that?” – Zohran Mamdani
🎯 IMPACT: Mamdani’s renewed demand puts his opposition to Netanyahu and Israel’s Gaza campaign back at the center of New York’s political debate as the UN General Assembly begins, while highlighting the sharp divide between City Hall and the federal government over the ICC warrant.

Trump Trashes Britain’s ‘Terrible’ Deal to Give Away Strategic Chagos Islands in First Meeting with New UK PM.

President Donald J. Trump denounced the deal the British government has made to give away the strategically important Chagos Islands during his first meeting with newly installed Prime Minister Andy Burnham.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump derided the decision of Britain’s Labour Party government to surrender the strategic Chagos Islands, which host a British-American military base, in his first meeting with Britain’s new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, at the United Nations General Assembly in Manhattan on Tuesday.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I don’t support it. It’s terrible. It was a terrible deal. All of a sudden [Mauritius] say they have ownership… after decades and centuries, I think it’s ridiculous. No. We were talking about that. It’s strategically very important. Very important… It’s amazing how strategic it is, and I think the Prime Minister’s going to be looking at it.” – President Trump, responding to a press question about the Chagos Islands deal during his meeting with Prime Minister Burnham
📰 DETAIL: One of the Chagos Islands, Diego Garcia, hosts important U.S. military assets, at a strategic location near the center of the Indian Ocean. Prime Minister Andy Burnham indicated to Mauritius earlier in the week that he intended to proceed with the transfer, agreed by his predecessor Sir Keir Starmer, but he nodded “Mmm, yeah,” when Trump suggested the British leader would now be reexamining the deal.
🎯 IMPACT: The Chagos deal has raised concerns about the strategic implications for the British-American naval and air presence in the Indian Ocean. The British government has negotiated to continue leasing Diego Garcia—which it currently owns outright for free—from the Mauritians, but this deal could be altered by future Mauritian governments. Mauritius could also render Diego Garcia far less useful by leasing another nearby island to a U.S. adversary such as China, removing the privacy and security essential to its operation.

Trump Blasts UN Globalists for ‘Destroying the Greatest Cultures and Heritage’ in History Through Mass Migration.

President Donald J. Trump delivered a forceful speech at the United Nations General Assembly, condemning globalist policies and defending national sovereignty.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, criticizing the institution for promoting globalist agendas and interfering with national sovereignty. He highlighted his administration’s efforts to cut the UN budget, oppose global taxation, and reject overreach by bodies such as the International Criminal Court (ICC), and took aim at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for “actively destroying the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in all of history” through its “ceaseless promotion of mass migration.”
📺 DETAIL: Trump touted reforms led by Ambassador Michael Waltz, including a 15 percent budget reduction for the UN in 2026 and the elimination of over 4,000 bureaucratic positions. He denounced the International Maritime Organization’s attempt to impose a global carbon tax and criticized the ICC as an “anti-American tribunal,” urging other countries to leave it. Additionally, Trump rebuked the UN Human Rights Council as “craven hypocrites” for attacking U.S. policies while having “little to say about the persecution of Christians.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It is deeply ironic that the United Nations has an entire institution, UNESCO, a group of people and countries devoted to protecting cultural heritage, yet with their ceaseless promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively destroying the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in all of history. There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation, and we want to remain a sovereign nation, and so should you.” – President Trump
🎯 IMPACT: Trump’s speech reaffirms his administration’s stance on prioritizing national sovereignty over global governance. His criticism of the UN’s globalist policies and defense of U.S. interests will resonate with his supporters, but coverage of the speech is likely to focus on more eye-catching comments about potentially annihilating the Iranian regime.

Trump Threatens to ‘Annihilate’ Iranian Regime in UN Address.

President Trump detailed Iran’s violations of ceasefires and ongoing aggression, emphasizing the possibility of either a historic deal or crushing U.S. military action.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump told the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) that he is considering whether to “annihilate” the Iranian regime in an address on Tuesday, highlighting Iran’s continued aggression and violations of ceasefires.
📺 DETAIL: Trump recounted Iran’s history of atrocities, including its recent attacks on commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz, and praised the United Nations Security Council for passing a resolution condemning Iran’s actions in the waterway. He also highlighted the U.S. Navy’s role in securing oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, insisting that this mission is bringing stability to the global oil market. He warned decisive military action against the Islamic Republic would inflict generational devastation, but predicted a deal after November is the more likely outcome, with the Iranians currently “waiting to see how I do in the midterm election.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I have a big decision to make: Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before—maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East, or even the world? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into Hell, with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness for generations?” – President Trump
🎯 IMPACT: Trump’s remarks underline the high stakes of the Iran war, with potential global economic and security implications depending on the path chosen by Washington and Tehran.

White House Launches ‘Trump TV’ Amid Clash With Corporate Media.

The White House has launched a 24/7 online streaming channel, “Trump TV,” amid ongoing disputes with corporate media over press access and coverage of the President.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The White House launched “TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station” on Monday, establishing a 24-hour online stream as President Donald J. Trump’s confrontation with “corrupt” corporate media outlets intensifies. The channel initially featured Trump speeches, administration footage, and videos highlighting U.S. military capabilities, with the White House promising a continuous stream of “past moments, announcements, and the latest” from the administration.
📺 DETAIL: The launch came three days after Trump revoked White House access for CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO, accusing the outlets of pushing “fake news.” The three organizations filed a federal lawsuit Monday, arguing that the administration’s actions violate First Amendment press protections, while the administration argues that no corporate media outlet has a constitutional right to White House access. At the same time, ABC, CBS, Fox News, NBC, and CNN suspended their participation in the White House television pool, a rotating system through which broadcasters share footage, audio, and other coverage of presidential events, in solidarity with CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO. The dispute immediately affected coverage of the administration, with Trump briefly inaudible during a White House event because no independent pool crew was present to provide the usual microphones and broadcast feed.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Not every big moment has made it on your TV, now it can.” – White House statement
🎯 IMPACT: The launch of Trump TV gives the administration a direct channel to distribute presidential remarks and official footage without relying on corporate broadcasters. The broader dispute is shifting toward the courts, with CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO demanding a right to White House access under First Amendment and due process claims.

Terror-Linked CAIR Moves to Register Millions of Muslim Voters, Boosting DSA, Democrats in Midterms.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is undertaking a nationwide effort to register millions of Muslim voters, likely bolstering Democrat prospects in upcoming elections.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is pushing to mobilize three million more Muslim voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Significantly, 53 percent of Americans who identify as Muslim lean Democratic, compared with 42 percent who lean Republican, according to Pew Research Center. CAIR’s effort to dramatically increase Muslim turnout could therefore provide a major boost to Democrat candidates in closely contested races.
📺 DETAIL: CAIR’s Muslims Vote initiative claims it is a nonpartisan campaign to increase voter registration and participation by helping Muslim Americans register, check their voting status, understand their rights, and make voting plans. However, CAIR’s sister organization, CAIR Action, has separately endorsed radical candidates during the 2026 election cycle, including Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and several candidates in Minnesota. Turning Point Action COO Tyler Bowyer has warned that Republicans are not prepared for the scale of CAIR’s mobilization effort, cautioning that it could have significant consequences for future elections. CAIR is highly controversial, facing heavy scrutiny from the Trump administration and Republican officials over its alleged ties to extremist organizations like Hamas. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) designated CAIR as a terrorist organization in 2014, with Texas and Florida following suit more recently.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Muslims Vote was created to remove barriers to civic participation… Every American Muslim has the opportunity, and the responsibility, to make their voice count.” – Robert McCaw, CAIR Government Affairs Department Director
🎯 IMPACT: CAIR’s effort could increase Muslim voter turnout in key states. The campaign could also intensify scrutiny of CAIR’s role and affiliated political groups.

Chemicals Tycoon Shuts Down Three Plants Due to ‘Ridiculously High Energy Prices.’

Soaring energy prices in the United Kingdom have led Ineos to halt operations at three chemical plants, jeopardizing thousands of jobs and raising concerns over the country’s industrial and environmental policies.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Ineos has announced the mothballing of three chemical plants in Hull due to “ridiculously high energy prices” in the United Kingdom, according to company founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The plants are critical to various industries including pharmaceuticals, construction, and cosmetics. This follows President Donald J. Trump chastising successive British prime ministers for sabotaging the North Sea oil and gas sector, arguing that it could supply cheap and plentiful energy and make Britain “a wealthy country again.”
📺 DETAIL: The Ineos plants, which are among the most efficient in Europe, employ 245 workers directly and support 4,000 jobs in the local economy. Ineos cites British gas prices being 12 times higher than in the U.S. and eight times higher than in China as the primary reason for the closures. Sir Jim Ratcliffe criticized the Labour Party government’s energy policy, describing it as “economic vandalism” that exports jobs and increases global CO2 emissions due to less efficient overseas producers.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The UK Government’s energy policy is leading to economic vandalism on an industrial scale, exporting jobs to China and the United States and driving up global CO2 emissions at a stroke.” – Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Ineos founder
🎯 IMPACT: The suspension of operations threatens thousands of jobs and Britain’s position in the European chemicals sector. Significantly, the net zero advocates responsible for Britain’s high energy prices will reap no environmental benefits from the closures, as the likely replacement products from the U.S. and China have significantly higher carbon footprints than British ones.
📺 FLASHBACK: Sir Jim Ratcliffe has previously criticized British energy policies and carbon taxes, warning of their detrimental effects on the European chemicals sector and the competitiveness of domestic manufacturing.

Trump Pentagon Introduces Reforms to Find Generals Who Are Combat Ready, Not Career Bureaucrats.

The Pentagon’s new Joint Warfighting Evaluation aims to identify military leaders who excel in combat decision-making, marking a significant shift in how generals are promoted.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Pentagon is rolling out a new Joint Warfighting Evaluation (JWE) to assess senior officers’ ability to solve complex military problems under simulated combat conditions. This marks the most significant overhaul in decades for selecting generals across all military branches, with the new evaluation supplementing existing performance reports starting in fiscal year 2027.
📺 DETAIL: Each military service has developed its own version of the JWE, ranging from online simulations to in-person wargames. Officers will face scenarios that test decision-making as AI-powered adversaries react to their moves in real-time. The assessments aim to identify leaders who excel in combat environments rather than those who merely navigate career advancement effectively. Current performance reports will remain the foundation of promotion decisions, with the JWE serving as an additional metric.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “People figure out they don’t have to be the best at their job, they have to be the best at making sure their boss thinks they’re the best, and those are actually two very different things.” – Stu Scheller, senior Pentagon adviser leading the JWE initiative
🎯 IMPACT: The JWE represents a broader effort by Pentagon leadership, spearheaded by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, to promote officers based on merit and combat readiness, rather than on their ability to navigate the bureaucratic career ladder in Washington. It also reflects an intent to streamline the upper ranks and ensure top performers rise faster while underperformers are removed more efficiently.
📺 FLASHBACK: Secretary Hegseth has previously pledged to overhaul military promotions, including reducing four-star positions by 20 percent and cutting general and flag officer positions by ten percent.

More Somali Daycares Under Investigation for $5 MILLION in Suspected Fraud.

An investigation into Somali-run daycares in Seattle has revealed potential misuse of over $5 million in taxpayer funds, raising serious concerns about oversight and fraud.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: An investigation has revealed allegations of large-scale fraud in Somali-run daycare centers in Seattle, Washington, with some facilities receiving tens of thousands of dollars monthly in taxpayer funding while showing no evidence of childcare activity. In total, over $5 million in potential fraud was identified across two neighborhoods.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The investigation focused on neighborhoods in South Seattle, including an area referred to as “Little Mogadishu,” with visits to over 20 daycare locations.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “When I knocked on doors, no one answered. Neighbors told me they have never seen any kids!” – Investigative reporter Katie Daviscourt
🎯 IMPACT: The findings raise serious questions about the oversight of taxpayer-funded childcare programs in the Democrat-run city, particularly Seattle’s Child Care Assistance Program, which provides funding to daycares serving low-to-middle-income families. If confirmed, the fraud could undermine public trust in such programs and divert resources from families in genuine need.
📺 DETAIL: Several daycare facilities, including Daisy Family Childcare, Aboo Family Daycare, and Star Family Home Daycare, were identified as receiving between $30,000 and $70,000 per month in taxpayer funding, despite showing no visible childcare activity during visits. Some individuals confronted Daviscourt during her investigation, refusing to answer questions or dismissing concerns. The area is saturated with registered daycare centers, raising suspicions about systemic abuse of public funds.
🕰️ FLASHBACK: Citizen journalist Nick Shirley previously exposed widespread fraud at daycare centers and hospices, many of them linked to foreign and minority groups, in Minnesota and California, putting national focus on the issue and prompting the creation of a high-profile anti-fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance.
