FBI Director Kash Patel’s Girlfriend Files Suit Against Ex-Agent Over Spy Claims.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A lawsuit has been filed against former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Kyle M. Seraphin, accusing him of maliciously making false claims about FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Alexis Wilkins, Kyle M. Seraphin, and FBI Director Kash Patel.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The complaint was filed on August 27, 2025, in the Western District of Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “[FBI Director Kash Patel] has had his own little ‘honeypot’ issue… She’s also a former Mossad agent… But I’m sure that’s totally because… love. That’s what real love looks like.” – Kyle M. Seraphin

🎯IMPACT: The case could set a precedent for accountability in spreading unverified and damaging claims online.

IN FULL

A legal complaint has been filed against Kyle M. Seraphin, a former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent and current podcaster, alleging that he spread false and malicious claims about Alexis Wilkins, the American country singer dating FBI Director Kash Patel. The filing, made in the Western District of Texas, accuses Seraphin of falsely claiming that Wilkins is a foreign agent working to manipulate FBI Director Kash Patel.

The complaint references statements made by Seraphin on his podcast, where he alleged that Wilkins, described as a political commentator and country singer, was also a former Mossad agent. Seraphin further speculated on her relationship with Patel, suggesting ulterior motives tied to political affiliations.

“[FBI Director Kash Patel] has had his own little ‘honeypot’ issue that’s been going on of late, so we’re just going to acknowledge it real publicly,” Seraphin alleged, continuing: “He’s got a girlfriend that is half his age, who is apparently is both a country music singer, a political commentator on Rumble, a friend of John Rich through [Dan] Bongino, who also now owns a big chunk of Rumble, and she’s also a former Mossad agent in what is like the equivalent of their NSA.”

He added: “But I’m sure that’s totally because… love. That’s what real love looks like.”

Wilkins’s legal team argues that Seraphin knowingly spread these claims to his audience on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Rumble, and YouTube, profiting from the controversy. The complaint also highlights that Seraphin had met Wilkins and Patel at a conservative political event two years ago, making it unlikely that he was unaware of the facts regarding their relationship. Wilkins seeks to hold Seraphin accountable for what she claims are “malicious and knowing lies.”

RFK Jr., HHS Probe Medications of Catholic Church Trans Shooter.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced an investigation into whether psychiatric medication is contributing to the rise in mass shootings, following a mass shooting at a Catholic church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by a transgender gunman.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), shooter Robin Westman, and the broader American public impacted by mass shootings.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement came on Wednesday, following a shooting at a Catholic church in Minneapolis.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Something changed, and it dramatically changed human behavior.” – Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

🎯IMPACT: The investigation marks the first time the federal government is conducting studies into the potential link between psychiatric drugs and mass shootings.

IN FULL

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a federal investigation into the possible connection between psychiatric medications and mass shootings in the United States. Following the recent deadly attack at a Catholic school and church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by a transgender gunman, Kennedy called the violence a “health crisis” and said his department is conducting the first in-depth government studies on the issue.

“I certainly consider mass shootings a health crisis, and we are doing for the first time real studies to find out what the ideology of that is. And we’re looking for the first time at psychiatric drugs,” Kennedy stated. He questioned whether America’s high rates of psychiatric drug use—many of which carry warnings for suicidal or homicidal thoughts—may be contributing to a disturbing change in people’s behavior. “Something changed, and it dramatically changed human behavior,” Kennedy Jr. said. “We are the most over-medicated nation in the world… and we will have an answer.”

Reflecting on his childhood, Kennedy, 71, said widespread gun ownership has existed in the U.S. for decades without the kind of violence seen today. “When I was a kid, we had shooting clubs at our school… Nobody was shooting,” he noted. “There’s never been a time in America, in the history of humanity, when people walked into a crowd… and just started randomly shooting. It’s happening in our country. It’s not happening around the world.”

The shooter at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Robin Westman, is a transgender previously known as Robert. The former marijuana dispensary employee opened fire during a morning mass, killing two young children and injuring at least 17 others. Authorities are reviewing videos allegedly posted by Westman before the shooting, showing disturbing content including Pride and Satanic symbols, anti-religious messages, and calls to “Kill Donald Trump.”

Westman’s case follows a growing number of mass shootings involving transgenders in recent years. Audrey Hale, another transgender shooter, killed six at a Christian school in Nashville in 2023. In 2024, Genesee Moreno, a transgender migrant, attempted a mass shooting at Lakewood Church in Houston. Other notable cases include Alec McKinney, a transgender teen who carried out a school shooting in Colorado in 2019, and Jack LaSota, the alleged leader of a violent transgender cult arrested in 2025 for multiple murders.

Kennedy said that gun access alone does not explain the trend. “There are many other countries that have comparable levels of guns… We had comparable levels in the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s. Something changed.”

Zohran Mamdani Trails Andrew Cuomo Head to Head in NYC.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A poll conducted by Tulchin Research suggests Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani would lose to former state governor Andrew Cuomo in a head-to-head contest for New York City Mayor—although he could win in a multi-candidate race.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa, incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, and Jim Walden.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Polling conducted from August 7 to 14, 2025, in New York City.

💬KEY QUOTE: “That poll is right.” – Andrew Cuomo

🎯IMPACT: The poll raises questions about Mamdani’s ability to secure victory in a two-person race if voters who oppose him rally to Cuomo.

IN FULL

A new poll from Tulchin Research, conducted between August 7 and 14 among 1,000 likely New York City voters, finds Democrat candidate and avowed socialist Zohran Mamdani trailing former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) in a direct contest, 41 percent to Cuomo’s 52 percent. However, when the contest includes Republican Curtis Sliwa and independents Mayor Eric Adams and Jim Walden, Mamdani jumps to 42 percent, with Cuomo falling to 26 percent; Sliwa earns 17 percent, Adams nine percent, and Walden three percent.

Mamdani’s prior statements have generated significant controversy. Posts by the Ugandan immigrant and Muslim extremist critical of the NYPD resurfaced amid heightened attention following a police shooting, highlighting his strong anti-police views. He has also been publicly criticized for bragging about directing taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants, and for suggesting the abolition of prisons and private property—both of which have intensified concerns about his platform’s radicalism.

The self-described Democratic socialist’s candidacy has drawn national attention, particularly from President Donald J. Trump, who is considering intervening in the race to block Mamdani’s potential victory in November. Trump has floated the possibility of backing either Adams or Cuomo.

Addressing the Tulchin poll, Cuomo offered a succinct response: “That poll is right.”

However, as New York City prepares for its November 4 mayoral election, no major contenders have stepped aside, setting the stage for Mamdani securing the mayoralty due to the fracturing of those opposed to him.

ICE Deportations Near 200,000, on Track to Reach 300,000 By Year End.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies have deported nearly 350,000 people since President Donald J. Trump took office, with ICE alone deporting close to 200,000.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: ICE, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Trump administration.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Deportations recorded during the 2025 Fiscal Year.

💬KEY QUOTE: “In the face of a historic number of injunctions from activist judges, ICE, CBP, and the U.S. Coast Guard have made historic progress to carry out President Trump’s promise of arresting and deporting illegal aliens who have invaded our country.” – Senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official

🎯IMPACT: ICE deportations could surpass 300,000 in fiscal year 2025, potentially matching levels last seen under former President Obama in 2014.

IN FULL

New data reveals that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported nearly 200,000 individuals under President Donald J. Trump‘s second term so far. Notably, total deportations across federal agencies are nearing 350,000, according to a senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official.

These numbers include deportations carried out by ICE, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as self-deportations. From October through December 2024, ICE recorded approximately 71,400 deportations. When including these numbers, ICE is—by itself—on track to potentially surpass 300,000 deportations in fiscal year 2025. This would be the highest number since fiscal year 2014, when around 316,000 deportations were carried out under former President Barack Obama.

Notably, President Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, was executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations at ICE in 2014.

Meanwhile, CBP has recorded over 132,000 deportations this year, along with tracking approximately 17,500 self-deportations. Combined with ICE’s efforts, these numbers bring the total deportations under Trump’s administration to nearly 350,000 since the beginning of his second term.

“In the face of a historic number of injunctions from activist judges, ICE, CBP, and the U.S. Coast Guard have made historic progress to carry out President Trump’s promise of arresting and deporting illegal aliens who have invaded our country,” a senior Homeland Security official said. “Additionally, illegal aliens are hearing our message to leave now or face the consequence.”

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has estimated that, in total, 1.6 million illegal immigrants have self-deported since President Trump’s inauguration.

The current daily rate of ICE arrests—between 1,000 and 2,000—still falls short of the White House’s stated goal of 3,000 daily arrests, although it is around double that of the former Biden government.

Georgia Mayor Convicted in Vehicular Homicide Case.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A west Georgia mayor, A.J. Scott, was found guilty of vehicular homicide and other charges related to a 2015 crash that killed two teenagers and injured two others.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: A.J. Scott, Mayor of Buchanan and former state trooper; victims Kylie Lindsey, Isabella Chinchilla, Dillon Wall, and Ben Finken.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The crash occurred in 2015 in west Georgia. The verdict was reached on Wednesday during a retrial in Carroll County following a 2019 mistrial.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We’ve lost our daughters and we’ve just hung onto the hope that we would get a ‘guilty’ out of this and we did, and justice prevailed for us,” said Leslie Woods, mother of Isabella Chinchilla.

🎯IMPACT: Scott was taken into custody immediately after the verdict and will be sentenced at a later date. Questions remain about his future as the Mayor of Buchanan.

IN FULL

A.J. Scott, the current mayor of Buchanan, Georgia, has been found guilty of vehicular homicide and several other charges stemming from a 2015 crash that claimed the lives of two teenagers and injured two others. The verdict came during a retrial held in Carroll County, where Scott was convicted of one count of second-degree vehicular homicide, two counts of serious injury by vehicle, speeding, and reckless driving. He was acquitted of a second count of vehicular homicide.

The crash, which occurred while Scott was a Georgia state trooper, involved a Nissan Altima carrying four teenagers. Kylie Lindsey, 17, and Isabella Chinchilla, 16, were killed, while Dillon Wall and Ben Finken, who were in the front seats, sustained injuries. Prosecutors argued Scott was driving at approximately 90 mph without activating his lights or sirens and was not responding to an emergency call at the time of the collision.

Scott, who was elected Mayor of Buchanan in 2019 and has since been reelected, was taken into custody immediately following the verdict and transported to the Carroll County Jail. His sentencing will take place at a later date. The case was retried after a mistrial was declared in 2019 due to allegations that the district attorney’s office withheld evidence.

Leslie Woods, the mother of Isabella Chinchilla, expressed relief following the verdict, stating, “We’ve lost our daughters and we’ve just hung onto the hope that we would get a ‘guilty’ out of this and we did, and justice prevailed for us.”

Scott testified during the trial, claiming he was on his way to pick up a body-worn radio from another officer when the crash occurred. Defense attorneys argued that the teenagers had been drinking, which contributed to the incident. However, jurors ultimately sided with the prosecution’s narrative, which emphasized Scott’s speeding and reckless driving as the primary causes of the crash.

Trump Wants Early GOP Convention Ahead of Midterms.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump announced he is considering holding a Republican National Convention ahead of the midterm elections.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, the Republican Party, and Democrat state leaders, including Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and Governor Kathy Hochul (D).

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announcement made on Truth Social on Thursday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms. It has never been done before. STAY TUNED!” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: The announcement adds to the ongoing political battles over redistricting and crime policy ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump suggested on Thursday that a Republican National Convention should be held ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, an unprecedented move that could reshape the GOP’s campaign strategy. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said, “We won every aspect of the Presidential Election and, based on the great success we are having, are poised to WIN BIG IN THE MIDTERMS. In that light, I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms. It has never been done before. STAY TUNED!”

The announcement comes as redistricting battles intensify nationwide. Texas recently approved a new congressional map that cuts five Democrat-leaning seats, while California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is reportedly backing a proposal to eliminate five Republican seats. In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul (D) has also promised aggressive redistricting to benefit Democrats.

Crime is expected to be a key issue in 2026, with Trump reiterating his law-and-order messaging. “The Republicans are the party that wants to stop crime,” he said, adding, “The Democrats like crime.”

Midterm elections have historically been difficult for the party in power. In 2018, Republicans lost tens of House seats and control of the chamber, although they gained slightly in the Senate. With control of Congress at stake in 2026, both parties are preparing for a heated campaign season.

However, Democrats also face mounting internal challenges. A July 2025 Marist/NPR/PBS poll found that just 27 percent of Americans approve of Democratic leaders in Congress, while 58 percent disapprove. Even among Democrats, support is soft, with only 44 percent voicing approval.

Trump Directs ICE to Intensify Operations in These Five Sanctuary Cities:

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration announced plans to intensify immigration enforcement in five major U.S. cities, including Chicago, with federal officials considering a naval base as an operations hub.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: White House Border Czar Tom Homan, President Donald J. Trump, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D).

📍WHEN & WHERE: August 28, 2025; cities include Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle.

💬KEY QUOTE: “All these sanctuary cities… refuse to work with ICE,” said Tom Homan.

🎯IMPACT: The move could expand ICE operations and potentially increase federal intervention in sanctuary cities.

IN FULL

The Trump administration has announced an effort to ramp up immigration enforcement in five major U.S. cities, including Chicago. Federal officials are reportedly considering utilizing a Lake Michigan naval base as an operations hub for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.

White House Border Czar Tom Homan, speaking to reporters on Thursday, stated that a “large contingent” of ICE agents would be deployed to sanctuary jurisdictions that continue to undermine federal immigration laws. Cities targeted include New York, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, and Chicago.

President Donald J. Trump has also criticized Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) for violent crime in Chicago, suggesting that the city’s leadership has failed to protect its residents. Trump reiterated the federal government’s readiness to intervene if necessary.

“Governor Pritzker had 6 murders in Chicago this weekend. 20 people were shot. But he doesn’t want to ask me for help. Can this be possible?” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. He added: “The people are desperate for me to STOP THE CRIME, something the Democrats aren’t capable of doing. STAY TUNED!!!”

Homan confirmed ongoing discussions about expanding ICE’s presence near Chicago, emphasizing the administration’s stance against sanctuary city policies. “All these sanctuary cities… refuse to work with ICE,” Homan said.

Cracker Barrel Removes Pride Page After Logo Climbdown.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Cracker Barrel has removed its Pride page from its website following backlash over woke rebranding efforts.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Cracker Barrel, conservative activists, and anti-DEI advocate Robby Starbuck.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Recent updates on Cracker Barrel’s website and statements on social media.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Cracker Barrel worked with the far-left HRC [Human Rights Campaign] organization and reportedly sponsored HRC events for 10 years.” – Robby Starbuck

🎯IMPACT: The company faces ongoing scrutiny and has already reversed some unpopular branding decisions to mitigate public backlash.

IN FULL

Cracker Barrel has removed its Pride-themed page from its website following growing criticism of its recent rebranding efforts. The page, which previously featured the slogan “bringing the porch to Pride,” now redirects users to a general “Culture and Belonging” section.

The updated page states, “At Cracker Barrel, welcoming people has always been at the heart of who we are. When we take care of one another, we are able to take even better care of the people who walk through our doors.”

The move comes as the company faces pushback over its branding strategy, including a short-lived attempt to introduce a modernist logo in place of its traditional imagery. The redesign faced swift backlash from both sides of the political aisle, prompting the company to reverse course.

“We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our ‘Old Timer’ will remain,” the company posted on X, referring to the white man leaning on a barrel that the new logo had erased. “At Cracker Barrel, it’s always been—and always will be—about serving up delicious food, warm welcomes, and the kind of country hospitality that feels like family.”

Conservative voices online have criticized Cracker Barrel’s promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activism, highlighting its past support of LGBT causes. Activist Robby Starbuck accused the company of aligning with the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and hosting transgender and pronoun training at its Tennessee headquarters.

“Cracker Barrel worked with the far-left HRC organization and reportedly sponsored HRC events for 10 years,” Starbuck wrote on X. “They even brought an HRC representative to their Tennessee HQ to do a pronoun and transgenderism training.”

Cracker Barrel denied ongoing involvement with the HRC, saying it “has not participated in the Human Rights Campaign Index or had any affiliation with HRC in several years.”

The backlash mirrors similar responses to other brands that have adopted woke messaging. For instance, Jaguar saw a dramatic drop in sales after a rebrand featuring non-binary models and a shift away from showcasing newly designed vehicles. In April, the company sold just 49 cars across the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom.

Bud Light also suffered lasting fallout after partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in 2023. The campaign led to a 27 percent drop in sales and significant damage to the brand’s image.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Trump administration, the Rwandan government, and seven unidentified deportees.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The deportees arrived in Rwanda in mid-August 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Three of the individuals have expressed a desire to return to their home countries, while four wish to stay and build lives in Rwanda.” – Yolande Makolo, Rwandan government spokeswoman.

🎯IMPACT: The deportation agreement highlights ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to facilitate mass deportations by sending migrants who cannot be sent hom directly to third countries, including Rwanda.

IN FULL

The African nation of Rwanda has begun accepting illegal immigrants removed from the United States as part of a third-country deportation agreement. According to Rwandan government officials, the country received seven illegal immigrants deported from the United States in August, with the agreement currently allowing the transfer of up to 250 deportees.

Yolande Makolo, spokeswoman for the Rwandan government, confirmed that the first group of seven vetted illegal immigrant deportees arrived in mid-August. She added that the migrants have been accommodated by an international organization, with visits from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Rwandan social service representatives.

Makolo stated, “Three of the individuals have expressed a desire to return to their home countries, while four wish to stay and build lives in Rwanda.” Those approved for settlement in Rwanda will receive workforce training and access to healthcare, she said.

Rwanda is one of four African countries that have reached deportation agreements with the U.S., alongside Uganda, Swaziland (Eswatini), and South Sudan.

CDC Director Rejects Firing, Claims Trump Must Personally Remove Her.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Susan Monarez disputes her firing, claiming only President Donald J. Trump has the authority to remove her from the position.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Susan Monarez, President Donald Trump, attorney Mark Zaid, and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Monarez was removed from her position by the White House personnel office on August 27, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “[W]e reject notification Dr. Monarez has received as legally deficient and she remains as CDC Director.” – Mark Zaid, attorney for Susan Monarez

🎯IMPACT: The CDC faces significant turmoil amid leadership reforms and debates over vaccine policy.

IN FULL

Susan Monarez, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is pushing back against reports that she has been fired, asserting that only the President has the authority to remove her. Monarez’s lawyers stated that White House staff informed her of her termination, but they argue the notification is legally invalid.

“Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired,” Monarez’s attorney Mark Zaid claimed in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “Our client was notified tonight by White House staff in the personnel office that she was fired. As a presidential appointee, senate confirmed officer, only the president himself can fire her.”

“For this reason, we reject notification Dr. Monarez has received as legally deficient and she remains as CDC Director,”  Zaid insisted. The statement came after the White House announced Monarez’s firing, citing her refusal to resign.

Zaid also noted Monarez’s resistance to what he described as “unscientific, reckless directives” and her refusal to dismiss certain health officials. He claimed this stance made her a target. Monarez has been at odds with her boss, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., over vaccine policies.

Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, has called for significant changes to U.S. immunization policy. In an interview, he stated that the CDC “has problems” and requires strong leadership to align with President Trump’s vision of restoring the agency’s credibility. He remarked, “We need to fix it, and we are fixing it, and it may be that some people should not be working there anymore.”

The National Pulse reported on Wednesday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved updated COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax, but with significant limitations for younger populations. The updated shots, targeting the LP. 8.1 variant, are approved for seniors and those with at least one high-risk health condition, such as asthma or obesity. However, access for healthy adults and children has been curtailed, with Pfizer’s vaccine no longer authorized for children under five.
