DOJ Launches Grand Jury Probe into Letitia James Over Anti-Trump Lawfare.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice convened a grand jury to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James, focusing on possible deprivation of rights allegations.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The DOJ, Letitia James, President Donald Trump, and the Trump Organization.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The investigation is being run out of Albany, New York, and subpoenas were issued this week.

🎯IMPACT: The investigation marks an escalation in Trump’s legal battles with James, who has previously secured a $454 million judgment against him.

IN FULL

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has convened a grand jury to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James (D). The investigation centers on whether James’ office caused a deprivation of legal rights under the color of law through its civil suits against President Donald J. Trump, his businesses, and the National Rifle Association (NRA). In addition, filings reveal the inquiry is being conducted out of Albany, New York, and subpoenas for documents, including information related to James’s civil fraud lawsuit against President Trump, were issued this week.

Letitia James, a Democrat who has been in office since 2018, has been a prominent figure in Democratic lawfare efforts against Trump. She successfully brought civil charges against him for business fraud in 2022, securing a $454 million judgment against the former president and his company. James has also been involved in lawfare challenging Trump administration policies and executive actions.

James’s office has not commented on the DOJ investigation. However, James’s past comments about seeking legal action against Trump, including a campaign pledge to pursue the America First leader legally, could prove damaging to the New York Democrat.

Tensions between Trump and James have been ongoing. Trump has criticized her on social media, calling her a “wacky crook” and demanding her resignation. In April, the Trump Federal Housing Finance Agency requested an investigation into James over mortgage fraud, which the DOJ also began investigating. James has denied the allegations.

Trump Will Host These Two Nations for a Historic Peace Accord Today.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump will host a peace signing ceremony at the White House for Armenia and Azerbaijan.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

📍WHEN & WHERE: August 8 at the White House.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I am very proud of these courageous Leaders for doing the right thing for the Great People of Armenia and Azerbaijan. It will be a Historic Day for Armenia, Azerbaijan, the United States, and, THE WORLD.” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: The ceremony aims to end decades of conflict and pursue economic opportunities in the South Caucasus region.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump announced that he will host a peace agreement signing between Armenia and Azerbaijan at the White House on August 8, marking a major diplomatic breakthrough in the decades-long conflict between the two nations. Taking to TRUTH Social on Thursday evening, Trump wrote: “These two Nations have been at War for many years, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people. Many Leaders have tried to end the War, with no success, until now, thanks to ‘TRUMP.'”

The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which dates back to the late 1980s, centers on the Nagorno-Karabakh region, an area internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but populated largely by ethnic Armenians. Tensions flared as the Soviet Union collapsed, leading to full-scale wars and recurring violence over the years. Both nations were previously part of the USSR.

Armenia, which Russia largely backs, has accused Azerbaijan, primarily supported by Turkey and Israel, of war crimes and ethnic cleansing, along with several NGOs like the American Freedom House, which published a report last year after more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians fled the area in 2023.

Trump revealed that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will join him at the White House for the signing ceremony. He also announced that the United States will enter into bilateral agreements with both countries in addition to the peace accord.

“The United States will also sign Bilateral Agreements with both Countries to pursue Economic opportunities together, so we can fully unlock the potential of the South Caucasus Region,” Trump stated. “I am very proud of these courageous Leaders for doing the right thing for the Great People of Armenia and Azerbaijan. It will be a Historic Day for Armenia, Azerbaijan, the United States, and, THE WORLD.”

Trump Ramps Up Federal Law Enforcement Presence in D.C. Starting Today.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Federal agents are increasing their presence in Washington, D.C., following President Trump’s directive to address crime in the city.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald Trump, federal law enforcement agencies, and local officials.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Starting Friday, in high-traffic and crime-prone areas of Washington, D.C.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Starting tonight, there will be no safe harbor for violent criminals in D.C. President Trump is committed to making our Nation’s capital safer,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

🎯IMPACT: The operation aims to deter crime and increase safety in the nation’s capital.

IN FULL

Federal agents are set to have a larger presence in Washington, D.C., starting Friday after President Donald J. Trump criticized the city’s violent crime rate and vowed to restore order in the nation’s capital. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced late Thursday that the increased law enforcement presence is aimed at protecting citizens in a city she described as “plagued by violent crime for far too long.”

“Starting tonight, there will be no safe harbor for violent criminals in D.C. President Trump is committed to making our Nation’s capital safer for its residents, lawmakers, and visitors from all around the world,” Leavitt said. The seven-day operation—expected to begin Friday and led by the U.S. Park Police—will focus on high-traffic areas and crime hot spots.

Participating officers will include personnel from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the FBI, the U.S. Capitol Police, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the U.S. Marshals Service. The operation begins at 12 AM ET on Friday and could extend beyond the initial weeklong period. Officers will be visibly marked and stationed in prominent locations.

President Trump recently signed an Executive Order titled “Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful,” which directs federal resources toward enforcing immigration laws and prosecuting violent crimes. Trump also criticized local officials for their handling of crime, citing a recent carjacking incident involving former Department of Government Efficiency employee Edward Coristine, who was violently assaulted. On Truth Social, Trump stated, “The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these ‘minors’ as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14.”

Trump has also hinted at a potential federal takeover of D.C.’s governance, suggesting that White House lawyers are reviewing the Home Rule Act of 1973, which grants the city limited self-governance. “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City,” Trump warned.

CBP Agents Discover Cocaine And Meth Being Smuggled In Children’s Game.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Philadelphia seized cocaine and methamphetamine hidden inside a children’s board game, “5 Second Rule, Jr,” on July 30. The drugs were concealed under a bag of cat food within the game box and were en route to London after being marked “return to sender.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

📍WHEN & WHERE: Area Port of Philadelphia, July 30, 2025

💬KEY QUOTE: “This seizure… illustrates how Customs and Border Protection officers expertly leverage our export enforcement mission to combat drug trafficking organizations,” said Cleatus P. Hunt, Jr., Area Port Director in Philadelphia.

🎯IMPACT: CBP officers and agents seize an average of 1,571 pounds of drugs daily across U.S. ports of entry.

IN FULL

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intercepted cocaine and methamphetamine inside a children’s game in Philadelphia on July 30. Officers examined the package disguised as a board game and discovered a zip-lock bag and a vacuum-sealed bag under a bag of cat food inside a box for the “5 Second Rule, Jr.” game, which is marketed to children ages six and up.

According to CBP, the zip-lock bag contained 515 grams of cocaine, while the vacuum-sealed bag contained 186.9 grams of methamphetamine pills. The package was shipped from Atlanta, Georgia, to London after being posted as a return to sender—suggesting the potential for a foreign drug smuggling operation based out of the United Kingdom, possibly utilizing board games or children’s toys to conceal illicit substances.

However, CBP also notes that “drug trafficking organizations may swap the parcel’s contents and post it returned to sender, creating the illusion of the parcel being misaddressed.” Parcels may be returned to the sender if they are undeliverable to the address, such as when the address is incorrect or nonexistent, or not accepted by the resident of that address.

“This seizure of dangerous drugs illustrates how Customs and Border Protection officers expertly leverage our export enforcement mission to combat drug trafficking organizations,” said Cleatus P. Hunt, Jr., Area Port Director for CBP’s Area Port of Philadelphia., adding: “CBP officers remain committed to searching for and seizing similar export and import shipments to deprive criminal organizations of their poisonous products or illicit revenue.”

On average, CBP officers and agents seize 1,571 pounds of drugs daily at U.S ports of entry.

VP Vance Visits With Unlikely Friend at Country Estate.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy is hosting U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance at Chevening House during Vance’s private family holiday in the UK.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: David Lammy, J.D. Vance, and their families.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Friday, at Chevening House in Kent, UK.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Let me just say on J.D. Vance that I’ve met him now on several occasions, we share a similar working-class backgrounds with addiction issues in our family.” – David Lammy

🎯IMPACT: Strengthened ties between the U.S. and UK, with a focus on shared values and personal connections.

IN FULL

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy is set to welcome U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance to Chevening House, a historic Grade 1 listed mansion in Kent, on Friday. The meeting is part of Vance’s private holiday in the UK with his family. According to the White House, the two leaders will discuss “a variety of topics pertaining to the U.S.-UK relationship.” Vance and his family plan to spend most of their time in the Cotswolds and are also expected to visit Hampton Court Palace during their stay.

Lammy and Vance have developed a working relationship since Lammy took on the position of Foreign Secretary last year. The two reportedly bonded over their shared Christian faith and similar experiences with working-class backgrounds and family addiction issues. Lammy previously attended mass at Vance’s residence in Washington during an official visit in March.

Speaking about Vance last summer, Lammy noted, “Let me just say on J.D. Vance that I’ve met him now on several occasions, we share a similar working-class backgrounds with addiction issues in our family. We’ve written books on that, we’ve talked about that, and we’re both Christians. So I think I can find common ground with J.D. Vance.”

Notably, however, Lammy has had a more rocky relationship with President Donald J. Trump. The National Pulse reported last August that the UK Foreign Secretary has referred to the America First leader as a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath” and “tyrant.” Defending his remarks, Lammy argued, “You’re going to struggle to find any politician who has not had things to say about Donald Trump in his first term, particularly on Twitter.”

The visit comes just weeks after President Trump traveled to Scotland for a private visit to his golf courses and met with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. Trump also agreed to a trade deal with the EU and is expected to return to the UK for a state visit in September.

Transgender Illegal Charged with Child Rape Was Paroled into U.S. Under Biden.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A biological male identifying as a “transgender” woman, who entered the U.S. illegally, is facing trial for the rape of a minor and stalking.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a Colombian national and illegal immigrant with a lengthy criminal record.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The suspect was paroled into the U.S. by the Biden government in March 2023 and is set to appear before the New York Supreme Court on September 10, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Thanks to the failed sanctuary policies and Biden’s open-border agenda, this serial criminal was freed to prey on innocent American children – but that ends now.” – DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin

🎯IMPACT: The case has reignited debate over sanctuary city policies, “transgender” criminal protections, and border enforcement under the Biden administration.

IN FULL

Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a Colombian transgender woman, is facing serious charges, including first-degree rape of a minor under 17 and stalking. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Contreras-Suarez had previously entered the United States illegally in March 2023 but was released under protocols established during the former Biden regime, despite a notable criminal history.

After initially being apprehended at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in California, Contreras-Suarez was released into the country. Following this release, authorities say he was involved in several criminal incidents in Medford, Massachusetts, where charges were filed for armed robbery, prostitution, and assault with a deadly weapon.

Local sanctuary policies in both Massachusetts and New York reportedly prevented federal immigration authorities from detaining or deporting Contreras-Suarez, allowing him to remain free despite multiple charges. The National Pulse reported in July that Contreras-Suarez raped a 14-year-old boy in the bathroom of a bodega in East Harlem early this year.

It wasn’t until February 2025 that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer at Manhattan Central Booking, finally enabling federal officials to assume custody. Contreras-Suarez is now incarcerated at Rikers Island and is scheduled to appear before the New York Supreme Court on September 10, 2025.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued strong criticism of local and federal policies that allowed Contreras-Suarez to remain at large: “Thanks to the failed sanctuary policies and Biden’s open-border agenda, this serial criminal was freed to prey on innocent American children – but that ends now.”

The case has reignited debate around sanctuary city policies and border enforcement under the former Biden government. At one point under Biden, as many as 15 percent of the women in federal prisons were actually men claiming to be transgender.

Bagpiper Banned from TikTok for Being A Proud Scot?!

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A Scottish bagpiper has faced backlash and social media bans on platforms like TikTok after sharing videos promoting Scottish culture abroad.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Robin Alderslowe, a 20-year-old Scottish bagpiper; and critics, including fellow Scots and social media platforms like TikTok.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Alderslowe has traveled to countries like India, South Korea, and Australia, with his videos recently going viral.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The most core thing about fixing immigration is fixing our own attitudes toward our own self.” — Robin Alderslowe

🎯IMPACT: Alderslowe has been ostracized by some Scots, banned from social media platforms like TikTok, and faced criticism for being vocal about Scottish culture.

IN FULL

Robin Alderslowe, a 20-year-old bagpiper from Scotland, has stirred debate after posting videos of himself showcasing Scottish culture in various countries. He says his mission is to celebrate and preserve his heritage in a world where Western traditions often face criticism or are becoming diluted.

Traveling to countries such as South Korea, Australia, and India, Alderslowe has gained attention online, some of it supportive, and some not. While audiences abroad have generally responded with curiosity and appreciation, the strongest pushback, he says, has come from his fellow Scots.

“Normally, people think the confused faces of Indian people means they’re angry, but they’re quite pleased to have me there,” Alderslowe explained in a recent media interview. He noted that although his performances are well-received in places like India, he’s faced accusations of racism back home in Scotland. According to Alderslowe, some have even gone so far as to call him a “Nazi” simply for expressing pride in his culture.

This backlash has had real-world consequences. Alderslowe shared that he’s been effectively pushed out of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, a famous destination for street performers. “I can’t play there anymore,” he said, noting that the local busking community has distanced itself from him. Tourists often ask about him using the label “racist bagpiper,” further contributing to his exclusion.

His presence on social media has also been impacted. TikTok has permanently banned his account, while Instagram has restricted some of his functions, including posting and private messaging. Despite these obstacles, Alderslowe remains determined. He insists that cultural pride is not only important but necessary. “If we want to keep our culture the way that it is … then we have to be proud of [that] culture and say it in a loud way,” he said.

He also voiced concern over the growing trend of discouraging Westerners from valuing their heritage. “We’re saying things like, ‘White people don’t have any culture,'” Alderslowe noted. “And to me, the most core thing about fixing immigration is fixing our own attitudes toward our own self, our heritage, our history, and our culture.” He believes being unapologetic and outspoken is key to preserving cultural identity, even if it means facing criticism.

Over Half of D.C. Carjacking Suspects Are Minors.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Over half of those arrested for carjackings in Washington, D.C., since August 2023 were minors, with some as young as 12 years old.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Juvenile offenders, D.C. police, Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D), Mayor Muriel Bowser (D), and President Donald J. Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Washington, DC; data from August 2023 to present, with a specific incident involving a government staffer on Sunday morning.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these ‘minors’ as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14.” – President Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: The rise in juvenile crime has sparked debate over curfews, penalties, and federal intervention in D.C. crime policies.

IN FULL

Since August 2023, 333 suspects have been arrested for carjackings in Washington, D.C., with 56 percent of those arrests involving individuals under the age of 18. According to police data, many of the juveniles arrested were between 15 and 16 years old, with some as young as 12. Notably, the nation’s capital has seen a concerning number of high–profile incidents involving carjackings in recent years, including the murder of former Trump administration staffer Mike Gill.

The rise in juvenile crime has coincided with a broader increase in vehicle-related offenses. Over the past two years, D.C. has reported 1,046 carjackings, with 72 percent involving a firearm. In contrast, motor vehicle thefts without the owner present have remained steady, with 2,847 cases reported since August 2024 compared to 2,844 in the same period last year.

The issue gained national attention after 19-year-old Edward Coristine, a former staffer with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was attacked by a group of 10 juveniles while attempting to prevent a carjacking. Two 15-year-olds have been arrested in connection with the assault. President Donald J. Trump responded by calling for tougher penalties on juvenile offenders and warning of a potential federal takeover of D.C. if local leaders fail to address the crime surge.

“Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local ‘youths’ and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-year-olds, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, adding: “The law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these ‘minors’ as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14… If the D.C. leaders do not clean up their capital city, I will do whatever is necessary to protect our nation’s capital, even if it means taking federal control of the City.”

D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb has pushed back on such proposals, emphasizing rehabilitation for minors. In response to the Coristine case, Schwalb called the attack “horrific and disturbing” and stated, “When MPD brings us cases with sufficient evidence of juveniles who have broken the law and hurt people, we will prosecute them and ensure they face consequences for their actions.” His office has reported a 90 percent prosecution rate for homicide and attempted homicide cases in 2024, as well as high rates for carjacking and violent assault cases. Meanwhile, Mayor Muriel Bowser has implemented curfews for minors, including an 11 PM citywide curfew and earlier curfews in certain neighborhoods.

MTG Blasts Fox News Viewers.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) criticized Fox News for its aging audience and responded to host Mark Levin calling her a “lunatic.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mark Levin, and Fox News.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Greene made her comments during an interview on Real America’s Voice News on Wednesday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Fox News better start paying attention, but their problem is most of the people that watch Fox News are very much up in age, the Baby Boomer generation… That’s not the future of America.” – Marjorie Taylor Greene

🎯IMPACT: Greene’s remarks highlight growing divisions within the GOP and her feud with Fox News’s more neoconservative personalities.

IN FULL

Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is publicly criticizing Fox News and one of its high-profile hosts, Mark Levin, after he labeled her a “lunatic” during an appearance on the network. Levin dismissed Greene’s influence in the Republican Party, saying, “The Republican Party isn’t going the way of Marjorie Taylor Greene or her ilk. No way!” She and Levin, a staunch neoconservative, have been at odds over U.S. military actions, particularly concerning airstrikes on Iranian nuclear targets. Greene has urged a more domestic focus, arguing that internal issues should take priority over foreign conflicts.

Greene responded during an interview with Eric Bolling on Real America’s Voice News, pushing back against Levin’s comments and the platform he used to make them. “Mark has never called me or talked to me in person,” she said. “When he goes on Fox News, the network where he hosts his show, and calls me ‘crazy’ and refers to ‘Marjorie Taylor Greene and her ilk,’ he’s insulting my entire district.”

In that same interview, Greene took aim at Fox News’ viewer demographics, criticizing the network for leaning heavily on an older audience. “Fox News better start paying attention, but their problem is most of the people that watch Fox News are very much up in age, the Baby Boomer generation, who I love, those are my parents, but that’s their biggest audience. That’s not the future of America,” she stated.

Data from Pew Research supports her remarks: nearly 50 percent of Americans aged 65 and up, along with 45 percent of those aged 50 to 64, report regularly getting their news from Fox News. Comparatively, that number drops to 32 percent among people aged 30 to 49, and just 28 percent for those under 30.

Despite Greene’s critique, Fox News recently reported strong growth in viewership, with a 31 percent increase in its key 25–54 demographic between April and June, and a 25 percent rise in total audience numbers.

Though known as a strong ally of President Donald J. Trump, Greene has started to voice disagreements with him and the broader Republican Party on a number of issues, including artificial intelligence and U.S. foreign policy. The Georgia Republican recently questioned her place in the GOP, saying, “I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to the Republican Party as much anymore.”

Pakistani Asylum Seeker Charged for Alleged Rape of 8-Year-Old Girl.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A 43-year-old Pakistani asylum seeker has been charged in London with multiple counts of child sexual abuse, including the alleged rape of an eight-year-old girl.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Kamran Khan, a Pakistani national, and an eight-year-old girl.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Alleged crimes occurred between September 2022 and July 2023 in London; court proceedings took place this week at Inner London Crown Court.

🎯IMPACT: Khan remains in custody and is set to face a seven-day trial in January for the alleged offenses.

IN FULL

A 43-year-old Pakistani migrant appeared before a British court in London this week on charges of allegedly repeatedly raping an eight-year-old girl. Kamran Khan is charged with two counts of rape, two counts of forcing a child under the age of 13 to engage in a sex act, two counts of forcing a child to witness a sexual activity, and four counts of sexually assaulting a child.

The 43-year-old Pakistani asylum seeker reportedly required the assistance of an Urdu language interpreter while pleading not guilty in court. According to prosecutors, between September of last year and July of this year, Khan raped an eight-year-old girl on two separate occasions.

The prosecution also accuses the migrant of molesting the young girl’s genitals with his hands and penis, and forcing her to watch another person have sex. Khan is scheduled to return to court in January, with a trial that is expected to last around seven days. He will be held in custody until his trial date.

The case is just the latest involving a Pakistani national accused of child sex crimes and comes after a decade of mostly Pakistani child grooming gang activity across the UK.

A recent report admitted that police purposely ignored the ethnic data of the grooming gangs, with some never bothering even to record it. In some cases, local police were even accused of joining the grooming gangs in abusing children. Five victims came forward in the town of Rotherham, with one claiming that at least one police officer also raped her.
