Black Cincinnati City Council Prez: White Assault Victims ‘Begged for That Beatdown!’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A Cincinnati City Council member is drawing backlash for claiming on social media that a group of white people who were attacked by numerous black assailants in the city last weekend “begged for that beatdown!”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Cincinnati City Council president pro tem Victoria Parks (D), mayoral candidate Cory Bowman, Cincinnati Police, and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

📍WHEN & WHERE: Parks’s Facebook post was revealed by Bowman on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “They begged for that beatdown!” — Cincinnati City Council president pro tem Victoria Parks

🎯IMPACT: The comments highlight the apparent reluctance of local Democrats to acknowledge incidents in which white victims are targeted by ethnic minority criminals.

IN FULL

Cincinnati City Council president pro tem, Victoria Parks (D), has further inflamed racial tensions in Ohio’s third-largest city after declaring on social media that a group of white people who were attacked by numerous black assailants last weekend “begged for that beatdown!” Parks, a black woman elected to the city council in January 2022, made the remark in a post on Facebook, insinuating that additional evidence suggests one of the white male victims instigated a fight. Regardless, several other individuals—who appeared to intervene to stop the conflict—were also brutally attacked.

“They begged for that beatdown!” Parks wrote in the Facebook post, adding: “I am grateful for the whole story.” Several Facebook users responded, noting that a white female victim who intervened to stop the attack and was knocked to the ground unconscious “didn’t ask for this.” Parks’s post was brought to light by Cory Bowman, the half-brother of Vice President J.D. Vance and a candidate for Cincinnati mayor in November.

Following the weekend attack, which occurred as crowds mingled in downtown Cincinnati following the conclusion of a Reds baseball game and the Cincinnati Music Festival at Paycor Stadium, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it is monitoring local law enforcement’s handling of the attacks, which may amount to federal hate crimes.

Videos of the incident have circulated widely on social media, showing a white man being shoved to the ground and beaten by multiple black attackers, and a white woman receiving a severe concussion. Other white people can be seen being attacked in the background.

The videos depict many in the crowd, including women, joining in the attacks, with one man being stomped on and beaten for nearly a minute. A woman is also shown being punched in the face and knocked unconscious after her head hits the pavement.

At least three individuals have so far been arrested for their involvement in the attacks.

Trump Is Prosecuting a Record Number of Illegal Immigrants.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration set a new monthly record for criminal prosecutions of illegal aliens in June, prosecuting over 3,000 for illegal reentry.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and illegal immigrants.

📍WHEN & WHERE: June 2025, with notable increases in prosecutions in New Mexico and other states across the U.S.

💬KEY QUOTE: “They’re a great way to get a conviction, a great way to get a criminal off the street, and a great way to remove them from the country in an expeditious way.” – Jonathan Fahey, former Acting Director of ICE during the first Trump administration

🎯IMPACT: Illegal alien encounters have plummeted over 90 percent in certain months, with tens of thousands voluntarily leaving the U.S.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) filed charges against over 3,000 illegal immigrants in June, setting a new monthly record for prosecutions against aliens unlawfully present in the United States. The ramp-up in prosecutions stems from a multi-agency effort to identify illegal immigrants who have returned to the U.S. after being previously deported, allowing the DOJ to charge the individuals with felony illegal reentry.

In addition, federal prosecutors charged another 3,200 illegal immigrants with simple illegal entry—though that total is not a record for the DOJ. Nevertheless, the simple illegal entry charge comprised over 50 percent of U.S. Border Patrol arrests in June, setting a separate record. Notably, at the peak of the border crisis under former President Joe Biden, the arrest rate never exceeded one percent.

 The DOJ asserted that it is “using all available investigative and prosecutorial tools” in the effort to fight the “invasion of illegal immigration.” Trump White House officials say the move to bring criminal charges against illegal immigrants is just a component of its “whole government” approach to addressing the illegal immigration crisis.

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Fahey, who also served as the Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the first Trump administration, notes that cases involving felony illegal reentry have a very high conviction rate. According to Fahey, prosecutors simply have to show that an illegal immigrant with a prior deportation subsequently reentered the country illegally.

“They’re a great way to get a conviction, a great way to get a criminal off the street, and a great way to remove them from the country in an expeditious way,” Fahey explained.

New Mexico, in particular, has seen a marked increase in felony illegal reentry cases. Filing data shows prosecutors brought 245 cases in May, with 277 filed in June. Under the former Biden government, not even 100 cases were filed in the final few months of 2024.

Investigation Finds More Inconsistencies in Epstein Jail Footage.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A CBS News analysis of video footage related to Jeffrey Epstein’s death raises questions about the thoroughness and accuracy of the government’s investigation.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, U.S. Bureau of Prisons staff, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and forensic video experts.

📍WHEN & WHERE: August 2019, Metropolitan Correctional Center, Manhattan, New York; investigation conducted in July 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “To say that there’s no way that someone could get to that—the stair up to his room—without being seen is false.” – Jim Stafford, forensic video expert.

🎯IMPACT: The inconsistencies in the video evidence and government reports fuel ongoing skepticism about the official narrative of Epstein’s death.

IN FULL

In August 2019, convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. At the time, then-Attorney General Bill Barr stated that surveillance video confirmed no one had entered the area leading to Epstein’s cell, reinforcing the medical examiner’s ruling of suicide. However, a recent investigation into the surveillance footage, released in recent weeks, has raised new concerns about its clarity and integrity.

CBS News analyzed an 11-hour video released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that was purported to show the corridor near Epstein’s cell—with more immediately relevant footage being unavailable, supposedly due to technical issues. According to forensic video analysts consulted by the news organization, the footage fails to capture the cell block’s entrance clearly. The staircase leading up to Epstein’s cell is largely hidden from view, making it impossible to determine whether someone could have entered or exited unnoticed. Video forensics expert Jim Stafford commented, “To say that there’s no way that someone could get to that, the stairs up to his room, without being seen, is false.”

The video itself has also raised questions due to its format and creation date. Experts noted that rather than being raw footage directly from the surveillance system, as the government has claimed, the video appears to be an edited screen recording. Metadata shows that the file was created in May 2023, nearly four years after Epstein’s death, and that it was exported using Adobe Premiere Pro. Analysts also flagged a missing minute in the footage and a change in the aspect ratio, suggesting it was likely edited or reprocessed.

Further complicating the picture is a DOJ inspector general’s report, which accepted staff accounts that no one accessed Epstein’s cell without being observed. CBS News found that the footage showed multiple individuals moving through areas where correctional officers were not present, calling into question the DOJ‘s assertion. One disputed moment involved what officials claimed was a staff member carrying linens up the stairs—experts noted the image more closely resembled someone in an orange prison jumpsuit.

The FBI and DOJ continue to maintain that Epstein’s death was a suicide.

Ghislaine Maxwell Issues Conditions to Congress for Testimony.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Sex trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell has demanded concessions in exchange for cooperating with a congressional subpoena issued by House Oversight Chairman James Comer.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Ghislaine Maxwell, her attorney David Oscar Markus, House Oversight Chairman James Comer, and the House Oversight Committee.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The subpoena was issued last week; Maxwell is currently serving her sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Tallahassee, Florida.

💬KEY QUOTE: “[I]f Ms. Maxwell were to receive clemency, she would be willing—and eager—to testify openly and honestly, in public, before Congress in Washington, D.C.,” said Markus.

🎯IMPACT: The Oversight Committee plans to respond to Maxwell’s attorney soon.

IN FULL

Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for conspiring with deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein to sex traffic underage girls, has demanded immunity or other concessions in exchange for cooperating with a subpoena issued by House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY). The subpoena seeks her deposition at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Tallahassee, Florida, on August 11.

In a letter sent on July 29, Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, indicated that Maxwell’s “initial reaction” was to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights and decline to testify. However, he outlined “conditions” under which she might cooperate, including receiving questions in advance, scheduling the deposition after the Supreme Court decides on her petition to overturn her conviction, or granting her clemency.

Markus also warned that questioning Maxwell in prison without immunity would create “real security risks” and undermine the integrity of the process. He added, “Of course, in the alternative, if Ms. Maxwell were to receive clemency, she would be willing—and eager—to testify openly and honestly, in public, before Congress in Washington, D.C.”

A spokesman for the Oversight Committee has stated that it “will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony” but will respond to Maxwell’s attorney soon. The demands follow meetings between Maxwell and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Maxwell reportedly named around a hundred people linked to Epstein and his activities, but so far, none of the names have been publicly released.

With the Trump administration under pressure for a recent memo stating that no Epstein “client list” exists—despite Attorney General Pam Bondi saying in February that it was “on [her] desk”—Maxwell and her lawyers are suspected to be behind recent efforts to tie President Donald J. Trump to the deceased pedophile, with Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, speculating that she may hope to “blackmail her way into a pardon.”

Additionally, the House Oversight panel recently voted to subpoena files related to Jeffrey Epstein and testimony from prominent figures, including former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Convicted Child Sex Offender Purchases Baby Through Surrogacy.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A man featured in a surrogacy video has been identified as a registered child sex offender, raising concerns over his parental role.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Former teacher Brandon Keith Mitchell, a convicted sex offender, and his husband, Logan Riley, a second-grade teacher.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Pennsylvania, with details coming to light in July 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “As always in cases like this, where a teacher had access to hundreds of students over multiple years, authorities are concerned that there may be other victims out there.” – District Attorney Chief of Staff Charles Gaza, following Mitchell’s arrest in 2016.

🎯IMPACT: The case raises questions about surrogacy laws and the immediate safety of the child.

IN FULL

Brandon Keith Mitchell, a Tier 1 sex offender in Pennsylvania, has been identified as one of the men featured in a viral video celebrating the surrogacy journey of a homosexual couple. The video, which showed Mitchell and his husband Logan Riley holding their baby, initially gained attention after Irish activist Derek Blighe posted it on social media. “Unless a miracle happens, this child has almost no chance at a normal life,” Blighe wrote.

Mitchell, a former chemistry teacher, was convicted in 2016 for soliciting a 16-year-old student for nude photos and videos and engaging in explicit “sexts.” Authorities found over 12,000 text messages exchanged with the victim, as well as hundreds of explicit videos stored on Mitchell’s devices. He pleaded guilty to felony child pornography possession and Corruption of Minors, serving just two months of a 23-month sentence before being released on parole.

Mitchell and Riley married in 2021 and launched a GoFundMe campaign in 2023 to raise funds for surrogacy. The fundraiser detailed their plans to use a gestational surrogate and highlighted the rigorous medical and legal processes involved. Despite a goal of $50,000, the campaign raised only $2,000. In November 2023, the couple announced they had successfully found a surrogate to carry their child.

Concerns have been raised about Mitchell’s parental role, given his criminal history. The Pennsylvania State Police confirmed that state laws do not automatically prohibit convicted sex offenders from having children or exercising parental rights. Surrogacy laws, which allow intended parents to be legally recognized through pre-birth orders, bypass restrictions that apply to adoption or foster care.

This case has reignited debates on surrogacy and the legal loopholes that enable predatory adults with serious criminal convictions to gain custody of children. Critics argue that more stringent regulations are needed to protect the welfare of children born through such arrangements.

Anti-NYPD Posts by NYC’s Mamdani Resurface After Cop Killing.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan left four people dead, including New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer Didarul Islam. Subsequently, anti-NYPC comments by the Democrats’ New York City mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, have resurfaced.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Victims included NYPD officer Didarul Islam, Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner, security guard Aland Etienne, and Rudin firm employee Julia Hyman. The shooter was identified as Shane Tamura, 27.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The shooting occurred Monday evening at 345 Park Avenue, Midtown Manhattan, a skyscraper housing NFL and Blackstone offices.

💬KEY QUOTE: “He was doing the job that we asked him to do. He put himself in harm’s way. He made the ultimate sacrifice,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said of the slain officer.

🎯IMPACT: The incident drew scrutiny of Mamdani’s past anti-police rhetoric, particularly his calls to “defund” the NYPD during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots.

IN FULL

Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat candidate for New York City Mayor, is facing backlash following a mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan on Monday that killed four people, including New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer Didarul Islam. While celebrating his wedding in his home country of Uganda, Mamdani released a statement feigning appreciation for first responders. However, social media users soon resurfaced the avowed socialist‘s previous comments supporting defunding the NYPD.

In June 2020, the Twelver Muslim called the NYPD “racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety,” advocating for its defunding. In 2021, he declared, “We can’t reform a system working exactly as designed – to control Black, brown & poor New Yorkers. We need to defund the police… free the thousands locked up unjustly & invest the savings in those most impacted by state violence.”

The gunman in the Midtown shooting, 27-year-old Shane Tamura, killed three people in the lobby, including Officer Islam, before dying by suicide. Tamura left a note citing frustrations with the NFL’s handling of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and its effects on former players.

Officer Islam had served three years with the NYPD. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, “He died as he lived. A hero.”

Mayor Eric Adams stated that the investigation into Tamura’s motives and actions continues.

ICE Nets Hundreds of Illegal Alien Pedophiles in One Dem-Run City.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested over 200 criminal alien child sex offenders in six months in Houston, Texas, under the Trump administration, surpassing the total arrests for the previous fiscal year.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers, criminal aliens, and federal law enforcement agencies.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Houston, Texas, during the first six months of the Trump administration.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The strides we have made in just six months to make our local communities safer are substantial, and our officers continue to work tirelessly every day to get the worst of the worst criminal aliens out of Southeast Texas to return our communities to places we can all enjoy.” – Paul McBride

🎯IMPACT: Enhanced community safety through the removal of violent criminal aliens and child sex offenders from Southeast Texas.

IN FULL

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in Houston, Texas, have announced the arrest of 214 illegal aliens with charges or convictions for sex crimes against children during the first six months of the Trump administration, surpassing the total of 211 for all of fiscal year 2024.

“Bringing together the resources and expertise of the entire federal law enforcement community to confront the overwhelming surge of illegal immigration that we saw over the past four years has resulted in the arrest and removal of historic numbers of violent criminal aliens, transnational gang members and child sex offenders,” said Paul McBride, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Houston’s acting Field Office Director

“While we still have a long way to go to truly get this crisis under control, the strides we have made in just six months to make our local communities safer are substantial, and our officers continue to work tirelessly every day to get the worst of the worst criminal aliens out of Southeast Texas to return our communities to places we can all enjoy,” he added.

These arrests are part of a broader effort launched by President Donald J. Trump on his first day back in office, targeting criminal aliens released by the Biden-Harris administration.

Notable arrests include Jesus Gutierrez Mireles, a 67-year-old three-time deportee from Mexico convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child; Jorge Zebra, 48, convicted of multiple child sex crimes; and Manuel Antonio Castro-Juarez, a 37-year-old Salvadoran national with sexual assault and illegal reentry convictions.

In June alone, ICE officers in Houston made 1,361 arrests, including 32 child predators, nine murderers, and multiple cartel and gang members. Following this, ICE launched a Homeland Security Task Force to counter organized crime in Southeast Texas.

While the Texas city’s municipal government is officially non-partisan, Mayor John Whitmire served as a Democrat lawmaker in the state legislature for 50 years, and most city council members are also aligned with the Democrats.

Trans Illegal Charged with Raping Boy in Bathroom.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A transgender illegal alien is facing charges of raping a 14-year-old boy in New York City.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Nicol Suarez, a 30-year-old illegal alien from Colombia, and a 14-year-old boy.

📍WHEN & WHERE: February, at a bodega near Thomas Jefferson Park in East Harlem, New York City.

💬KEY QUOTE: Police sources indicated Suarez had been shielded by New York City’s sanctuary policy.

🎯IMPACT: The case highlights the consequences of sanctuary city policies that hinder federal immigration enforcement.

IN FULL

A 30-year-old Colombian transgender illegal immigrant who is biologically male but claims to be a woman made his first appearance in a New York court last week on charges of child rape. According to prosecutors, the man, who goes by Nicol Suarez, raped a 14-year-old boy in the bathroom of a bodega in East Harlem this past February.

Despite his unlawful status, warrants in Manhattan and New Jersey, and a detainer issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) prior to the alleged rape, Suarez was sheltered from arrest by New York City’s sanctuary policies. Only after the sexual assault of the minor was the transgender illegal finally taken into custody.

A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for September, and Suarez is being held at Rikers Island until then on a quarter-million-dollar bond. According to court documents, Suarez is accused of stalking the male minor into the bodega’s bathroom, where he proceeded to sexually assault the 14-year-old.

Following the rape, the child fled the bathroom and informed people nearby of the assault. Police were then called, with Suarez being arrested the next day on charges of first-degree rape.

ICE Just Caught an Illegal Alien Working as an Armed Policeman.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A Jamaican national residing in the United States illegally has been arrested after attempting to unlawfully purchase a firearm. Shockingly, he was working as a police officer with the Old Orchard Beach Police Department in Maine.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Jon Luke Evans, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), ICE Boston Field Office director Patricia Hyde, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and Maine’s Old Orchard Beach Police Department.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The arrest was announced on Monday, July 28, 2025, with Evans having overstayed his U.S. visa in October 2023.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We have a police department that was knowingly breaking the very law they are charged with enforcing in order to employ an illegal alien.” — ICE Boston Field Office director Patricia Hyde

🎯IMPACT: The arrest of Evans is raising alarms about whether local law enforcement, especially in sanctuary jurisdictions, are enforcing U.S. laws or even conducting proper background checks on their own employees.

IN FULL

An illegal immigrant has been arrested after his attempt to unlawfully purchase a firearm was flagged by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). Shockingly, Jon Luke Evans—a Jamaican national—was employed as a police officer in Maine when he attempted the gun purchase.

According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Evans—who entered the U.S. through Miami, Florida, on September 24, 2023—failed to board his return flight to Jamaica on October 1, 2023, subsequently overstaying his visa. Somehow, despite no longer having legal status to remain in the United States, Evans was eventually hired as a police officer with the Old Orchard Beach Police Department in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

The circumstances under which a local Maine police department hired Evans remain unclear. However, the Jamaican’s status as an illegal immigrant was discovered by federal immigration agents after he attempted to purchase a firearm for his job. Evans has admitted to the illegal purchase.

“Jon Luke Evans not only broke U.S. immigration law, but he also illegally attempted to purchase a firearm,” ICE Boston Field Office director Patricia Hyde said in a statement regarding the illegal immigrant’s arrest. “Shockingly, Evans was employed as a local law enforcement officer. The fact that a police department would hire an illegal alien and unlawfully issue him a firearm while on duty would be comical if it weren’t so tragic.”

The Old Orchard Beach Police Department is not escaping federal scrutiny, with Hyde adding: “We have a police department that was knowingly breaking the very law they are charged with enforcing in order to employ an illegal alien.”

Trump Repeats That He Is ‘Allowed’ to Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump again noted that he has the power to pardon Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, stating he is “allowed” to do so—but has not been approached about it.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Donald Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

📍WHEN & WHERE: Trump’s remarks were made on Monday during interactions with reporters, and echoed comments from the prior Friday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon, but nobody’s approached me with it, nobody’s asked me about it.” — President Trump.

🎯IMPACT: The comments have reignited debate over the possibility of a pardon for Maxwell, who was convicted of child sex trafficking in 2021 and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump was again questioned on July 28 about the possibility of pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 of child sex trafficking and sentenced to 20 years in prison for her connection to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell already received limited immunity in exchange for talking to Attorney General Pam Bondi’s deputy, Todd Blanche, about around a hundred people connected to Epstein.

In response to a pardon question, Trump stated, “Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon, but nobody’s approached me with it, nobody’s asked me about it.” He added, “It’s in the news about that—that aspect of it, but right now it would be inappropriate to talk about it.”

These comments echo remarks he made last Friday, where he said of a pardon, “It’s something I haven’t thought about… I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about.”

Notably, the responses do not shut down the possibility of a pardon for Maxwell, leaving the option open.

Maxwell or her attorneys may have played a role in fueling discontent with President Trump’s handling of the Epstein case, which intensified after a birthday message Trump supposedly wrote to the pedophile was leaked to The Wall Street Journal. Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, believes the message “was likely leaked by Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers to try and blackmail her way into a pardon.”

Epstein, who died in 2019, has become an issue for the Trump administration since AG Bondi released a memo claiming no “client list” for the sex trafficker exists, despite the fact that she previously said that a list was “on [her] desk” and would eventually be disclosed.
