WATCH: ‘The Colony Can Fall’ – Century-Old Statue of Queen Victoria Torn Down.

A bronze statue of Queen Victoria has been torn down in Geelong, Australia, in the latest of a series of targeted attacks on British historical monuments in the former colony.

Erected in 1912, the statue of the 19th-century monarch was torn from its plinth in the early hours of Thursday morning. It was then vandalized with red paint, which was also used to deface the plinth, reading ‘Victoria, Queen and Empress, 1837-1901,’ with the words’ THE COLONY CAN FALL.’

The statue was less seriously vandalized earlier in March, being splashed with red paint and daubed with the words ‘THE COLONY WILL FALL.’

The same slogan appeared on a Melbourne statue of Captain James Cook, the British explorer who mapped much of Australia and New Zealand and discovered Hawaii, in January, which was toppled by being broken at the ankles. A second statue of Cook in the city was cut down in February.

New Plan Could Claw Back 4 GOP Seats After Virginia Referendum Defeat.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) has introduced a redistricting proposal reflecting the state’s population growth, which could allow Republicans to gain four additional seats in the November midterms.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has unveiled a new congressional map that could give Republicans four additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The map reflects Florida’s population growth and demographic shifts, with the governor emphasizing that it ensures fair representation for the state. This follows the GOP losing referendum on redistricting that will favor the Democrats in Virginia.
📺 DETAIL: The proposal, shared on Monday ahead of a special legislative session to consider redistricting, would reshape multiple districts in a way that favors GOP candidates. DeSantis argues the proposed reforms are justified by the state’s population growth and issues with prior census data. Democrats complain the plan amounts to partisan gerrymandering and have threatened legal challenges, noting Florida’s constitution prohibits maps from being drawn to benefit a political party. Notably, DeSantis’s effort follows a Democrat-led redistricting push in Virginia, which is likely to hand Democrats several additional House seats. If approved by Florida lawmakers, DeSantis’s map could significantly influence the balance of power in Congress, although it will face legal challenges.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Florida got shortchanged in the 2020 Census, and we’ve been fighting for fair representation ever since.” – Ron DeSantis.
🎯 IMPACT: The new map could solidify Republican dominance in Florida, where the GOP already holds a 1.5 million voter registration advantage, and balance out the Democrats’ redistricting push in Virginia, which is likely to hand them four additional seats.

White House Blames Left-Wing ‘Cult of Hatred’ for Third Trump Assassination Attempt, Demands Dems Fund DHS.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized Democrats and media figures for inspiring political violence following a third assassination attempt against President Donald J. Trump, and demanded Congress fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the Saturday assassination attempt against President Donald J. Trump at a Monday press conference, calling out the “hateful and constant and violent rhetoric directed at President Trump day after day after day for 11 years [that] has helped to legitimize this violence and bring us to this dark moment.”
📰 DETAIL: Leavitt stressed, “This political violence stems from a systemic demonization of [Trump] and his supporters by commentators [and] yes, by elected members of the Democrat Party, and even some in the media.” The White House Press Secretary, who was present during the assassination attempt during the White House Correspondents’ Assocation (WHCA) dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel, singled out Late Night host Jimmy Kimmel for particular criticism, citing recent remarks he made describing First Lady Melania Trump as “glowing” as an “expectant widow.” She also pushed congressional Democrats to stop blocking funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which includes the Secret Service. “Make no mistake, this defunding of DHS should be a national scandal. If Republicans defunded DHS and we saw another attempted assassination on a Democrat president, I would hope that the media coverage would be relentless and unforgiving,” she said, adding: “There should be no further debate about this; Democrats need to do what President Trump has been calling on them to do for 73 days in a row and fund the Department of Homeland Security, period. This is a national emergency, and every member of Congress needs to put their country over party and get the Department of Homeland Security funded.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The left-wing cult of hatred against the President and all of those who support him and work for him has gotten multiple people hurt and killed, and it almost did so again this weekend.” – Karoline Leavitt
🎯 IMPACT: The record third assassination attempt against President Trump has also seen the Department of Justice (DOJ) redouble its efforts to dismiss a lawsuit against a planned White House ballroom championed by Trump, which it argues will provide a more secure venue for major events such as the WHCA dinner.

State Ballot Wealth Tax Amasses Enough Signatures.

Supporters of a proposed one-time tax on California billionaires say they have gathered enough signatures for the measure, opposed by Governor Gavin Newsom (D), to go to a public vote in November.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Proponents of a one-time five percent tax on billionaires in California claim they have gathered enough signatures to put the measure on a state ballot in November. The proposed tax would target businesses, stocks, and intellectual property, among other assets.
📺 DETAIL: On Monday, supporters of the billionaire tax announced that the measure has gained 1.6 million signatures of endorsement, enough for the measure to be placed on the state ballot, provided they can be verified. The proposal is sponsored by Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, a trade union representing roughly two million workers across healthcare, property services, and public services. Supporters claim the revenue raised from the proposed tax could be used to fund healthcare for low-income residents. Governor of California Gavin Newsom (D) has announced his opposition to the measure, citing economic concerns, such as a potential exodus of billionaires from the state. Newsom’s position has divided the left, with Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) among those endorsing the tax.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This is not how I wanted to spend my last year.” – Gavin Newsom, January 2026
🎯 IMPACT: If Newsom decides to run for President in 2028, it is likely that his opposition to the measure, which is popular with grassroots Democrats and the left more broadly, will become a source of criticism. Newsom’s second term as Governor is scheduled to end in January 2027, with Trump-backed Republican candidate Steve Hilton currently leading in the packed race to replace him.
👀 IRONY: While proponents argue the billionaire tax will generate revenue to fund healthcare and welfare programs, the tax could do the opposite by incentivizing billionaires to leave the state, resulting in less tax revenue overall and fewer services for low-income Californians.

Rapist Migrant Spared Prison After Agreeing to Take ‘Consent Classes.’

A boat migrant who raped a 14-year-old girl just months after arriving in Britain has avoided jail, prompting criticism of the British justice system and its permissive approach to predatory foreign nationals.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A 14-year-old Iranian migrant, who arrived in Britain last June illegally on a small boat, has avoided prison despite raping a teenage girl just three months after his arrival. He was instead given a rehabilitation order requiring him to attend classes “on the understanding of consent, boundaries, and victim awareness”.
📺 DETAIL: The attack occurred in September 2022 after the migrant, whose identity has been concealed by the courts, met the victim, also 14, at school in Bedfordshire, England. He forcibly led her to a secluded area and assaulted her, ignoring her protests. However, the sentencing judge handed down a non-custodial sentence, citing youth justice guidelines that prioritize rehabilitation over incarceration. The migrant was also issued a two-year exclusion order barring him from the crime scene. The family of the victim has called the sentence a joke. The Iranian rapist will not be deported as he is considered a child under British asylum law, and Iran is considered too dangerous to deport him to.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “There has been no punishment. This isn’t a deterrent at all. The rapist is still free and could just do it again. The victim has to carry this for the rest of her life, while he can just go out as if nothing has happened,” a source close to the victim’s family told the British press.
🎯 IMPACT: Many migrants who arrive in Britain on small boats from France are housed in hotels at taxpayers’ expense. Within those hotels, hundreds of migrants have been convicted of or charged with crimes, including rape. Notably, many of those claiming to be minors do not have paperwork confirming their real age, and testing to establish whether they are telling the truth is often lax or nonexistent, resulting in adults posing as minors being placed in schools with British children.

DOJ Cites WHCA Dinner Shooting in Push to End Lawsuit Against Trump Ballroom.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has demanded that a lawsuit opposing President Donald J. Trump’s White House ballroom project be dismissed, citing the recent assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has demanded that the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) drop its lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump’s White House ballroom project, citing security risks after the Saturday assassination attempt targeting administration officials at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner, hosted by the Washington Hilton hotel.
📺 DETAIL: The DOJ has called on the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) to drop its lawsuit against the construction of President Donald J. Trump’s White House ballroom. The NTHP filed a lawsuit against President Trump’s ballroom project in early December last year. The lawsuit argues that the President did not have the authority to demolish the East Wing of the White House complex without approval from Congress. President Trump’s $400 million ballroom project is privately funded and aims to reduce security risks to the President by eliminating the need to host high-profile events outside the White House. Following the recent assassination attempt on President Trump and other officials at the WHCA dinner at the Washington Hilton, the DOJ is emphasizing the need for the ballroom’s construction to be completed unimpeded.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Your lawsuit puts the lives of the president, his family, and his staff at grave risk. Enough is enough. Your client should voluntarily dismiss this frivolous lawsuit today in light of last night’s assassination attempt on President Trump,” said Brett Shumate, Assistant Attorney General at DOJ’s Civil Division, in a letter shared by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on X (formerly Twitter).
📺 CONTEXT: The assassination attempt against President Trump and his officials at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., on Saturday was allegedly carried out by California teacher Cole Allen, who was able to be present at the site by booking himself in as a guest prior to the WHCA dinner. Notably, the late President Ronald Reagan—who first popularized the “Make America Great Again” slogan—was also targeted by a would-be assassin at the hotel, being shot while leaving the venue by John Hinckley Jr. in 1981. The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts approved the state ballroom earlier this year, and a federal judge declined to block construction in December last year.

Israel Breaks Lebanon Ceasefire With Wave of Airstrikes.

Despite a three-week ceasefire agreement, Israel has launched intensified airstrikes in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Israel has launched a wave of airstrikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon‘s Beqaa Valley and southern regions, marking the first strikes in the Beqaa since a ceasefire began three weeks ago. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the strikes are in response to Hezbollah attacks, including a deadly drone strike on Israeli troops.
📺 DETAIL: The move comes as a fragile ceasefire, originally agreed on April 16 and later extended, has been repeatedly violated. Israeli officials have justified the continued attacks as defensive actions against militant infrastructure, while Hezbollah and the Lebanese government—which does not include Hezbollah—accuse Israel of undermining any chance of de-escalation. The conflict has already caused thousands of deaths and widespread displacement across Lebanon. Recent days have seen ongoing exchanges of fire, including drone interceptions and rocket attacks, despite the nominal pause in fighting. Analysts warn that strikes deeper into Lebanese territory risk collapsing the ceasefire entirely and triggering a wider regional escalation. Israel has previously stated it wants to seize a significant part of southern Lebanon, potentially displacing around a million people, many of them Christians who have lived in the area for over a thousand years.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “How long will the people of the south continue to pay the price for the wars of others on our land? If the war were for Lebanon, we would support it – but when its purpose is to serve the interests of others, I reject the war entirely.” – Lebanese President Joseph Aoun
🎯 IMPACT: The escalation risks dragging Lebanon deeper into the broader clash between Israel, the U.S., Iran, and its proxies. Notably, the ceasefire in Lebanon formed part of Iran’s demands for a ceasefire, and its collapse could reignite the conflict more broadly. Earlier this month, President Donald J. Trump has posted on Truth Social, “Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!”

Trump May Rename ‘ICE.’ Here’s The Suggested New Name, and Why.

President Donald J. Trump endorsed a proposal to rename Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as the “National Immigration and Customs Enforcement” (NICE).

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump endorsed a proposal posted on X (formerly Twitter) to rename Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the “National Immigration and Customs Enforcement” (NICE). The idea was suggested as a humorous way to compel media outlets to refer to agents as “NICE agents.”
📺 DETAIL: The proposal was initially posted by former Project Veritas journalist Alyssa Marie, who joked in March that renaming ICE would force the media to repeatedly use the term “NICE agents.” Trump shared the post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, enthusiastically commenting, “GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT.” Marie later posted a screenshot of Trump’s response, stating, “I am more MAGA than ever.”
🎯 IMPACT: While the suggestion was likely in jest, it forms part of the ongoing debate around ICE’s role in executing the Trump administration’s deportation agenda, which has seen liberal journalists and leading Democrats, such as failed 2024 vice presidential candidate and Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz, compare them to Adolf Hitler’s Gestapo. Administration officials accuse journalists and Democrats pushing this rhetoric of inciting violent protests against ICE, and in some cases, targeted attacks, such as a sniper ambush at an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas, last July that resulted in a police officer being shot in the neck.
📺 FLASHBACK: Scott Adams, the Dilbert cartoonist and prominent Trump supporter who passed away in January, first proposed renaming ICE to NICE in 2018, so that anti-ICE Democrats such as Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) would be forced to run on abolishing “NICE.”

Data Confirms ‘Huge Overrepresentation’ of Foreign Nationals in London Sex Crimes.

Data shows there is “huge overrepresentation” of foreign nationals among accused sex offenders in London, Britain’s Office for National Statistics has confirmed.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A report by the Centre for Migration Control, based on a Freedom of Information Act request to the Metropolitan Police, found that between 40 percent and 47 percent of sexual offense charges in London in 2024 involved foreign nationals.
📰 DETAIL: Despite foreign nationals making up only about a quarter of London’s population, they were disproportionately represented in sexual offense charges. The Centre for Migration Control analyzed data from 2018 to 2024 last year, and found that of 7,798 arrests resulting in further action, 2,809 involved foreign nationals. In 2024 alone, 597 out of 1,601 arrests were of foreign nationals. On Friday, the Centre for Migration Control revealed an internal Office for National Statistics (ONS) memo showing the government department acknowledging “huge overrepresentation” of foreign nationals in the prosecution statistics.
🎯 IMPACT: The findings highlight concerns about the impact of mass migration on crime in London and the wider United Kingdom, particularly sex crimes, which impact women and girls disproportionately.
📈 DATA: The charge rate for British nationals was 6.5 per 10,000 of the population, indicating a significantly lower rate compared to foreign nationals. The British state does not publish complete data on conviction rates broken down by nationality, but the information that is available suggests Afghans offend at by far the highest rate, with countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa significantly overrepresented.

WHCA Shooter Sent Manifesto RIGHT BEFORE ATTACK, Detailing ‘Arrogant, Incompetent’ Security – ‘If I Was An Iranian Agent…’

Alleged gunman Cole Allen sent a “manifesto” detailing his intent to target Trump administration officials before opening fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, highlighting the security failures at the event in a document that appears to have been penned right before the attack.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The gunman identified as Cole Allen sent an anti-Trump manifesto to his family shortly before opening fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. He expressed his intent to target Trump administration officials, accusing them of crimes and calling himself the “Friendly Federal Assassin.”
📺 DETAIL: In his manifesto, Allen outlined his grievances against the Trump administration, labeling its officials as criminals and justifying his actions as a form of resistance. He criticized the event’s security, mocking its “insane” lack of preparation and claiming it would have been easy for Iranian agents to infiltrate. Allen was reportedly part of a radical-left group and had attended “No Kings” protests in the recent past.
💬 KEY QUOTES: “Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.” – Cole Allen, from his manifesto. “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” Allen wrote. “Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance. I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat,” he wrote. “The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before. Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again. Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit. Actually insane.”
📺 CONTEXT: The White House Correspondents’ Dinner has historically been a high-security event, often attended by sitting presidents and key officials, making this breach particularly alarming. Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics wrote: “A source familiar with presidential security protocals said White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles oversees the Secret Service and has let Curran remain in his job despite numerous failures on his watch.”

WHCA Shooter is ‘No Kings’ Protester With Anti-Christian Manifesto.

The suspect in the White House shooting, Cole Allen, is a “No Kings” protester with a manifesto, anti-Christian rhetoric, and a history of anti-Trump activism.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Cole Allen, the suspect in the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) shooting on Saturday night, allegedly produced a manifesto indicating his intent to target administration officials, according to Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich. His social media accounts were filled with anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric, and he had recently attended a “No Kings” protest with other far-leftists.
📰 DETAIL: Allen’s brother had reportedly alerted the New London Police Department in Connecticut about a manifesto Cole Allen sent to family members. Secret Service and Montgomery County Police interviewed Allen’s sister, who confirmed his radical statements and firearm purchases. Allen was part of a group called ‘The Wide Awakes’ – a far left activist group which promotes abortion, government funding for “arts,” and promotes anti-ICE propaganda.
🎯 QUOTED: “Confirmed ALLEN purchased two handguns and a shotgun from Cap Tactical Firearms and kept them stored at their parent’s home and that their parents were unaware that ALLEN was keeping the firearms in the home. ALLEN would regularly go to the shooting range to train with his firearms.” – Jacqui Heinrich.
This is a developing story.
