AG Paxton Is Pursuing Legal Action Against Islamic ‘EPIC City’ Developers, Here’s Why:

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Evidence of violations of securities laws by the developers of “EPIC City,” a planned Islamic settlement in Texas, has been uncovered by Attorney General Ken Paxton.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and entities connected to the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) land development project.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announcement made in Austin on October 14, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The bad actors behind this illegal scheme must be held accountable for ignoring state and federal regulations.” – Ken Paxton

🎯IMPACT: A lawsuit may be filed if the Texas State Securities Board refers the matter back to the Attorney General.

IN FULL

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has revealed that entities linked to the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) land development project have breached federal and state securities laws. The Attorney General has requested the Texas State Securities Board (TSSB) to review the findings and refer the case back to his office to pursue legal action.

Paxton’s investigation into the Islamic “EPIC City” scheme began in March. It was later expanded to include document requests from local municipalities and other entities potentially involved in the unlawful development. The investigation uncovered that certain individuals and entities associated with EPIC City violated securities laws.

“After a thorough investigation, it has become clear that the developers behind EPIC City flagrantly and undeniably violated the law,” Paxton stated. The Donald J. Trump ally emphasized that the “bad actors behind this illegal scheme must be held accountable for ignoring state and federal regulations.”

A referral from the TSSB is required for the Attorney General’s office to initiate a lawsuit. Paxton has invited Chairman E. Wally Kinney and Commissioner Travis J. Iles to assess the findings and evidence, urging them to refer the matter for further legal proceedings if they concur with his office’s conclusions.

Pro-Trans, Anti-Trump Dem Governor Announces Senate Run Against Susan Collins.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Maine Democrat Governor Janet Mills announced her bid to challenge incumbent Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) for her Senate seat in the 2026 midterm elections.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME), Sen. Susan Collins, President Donald J. Trump, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on Tuesday, with Mills targeting the 2026 Senate race in Maine.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I’ve never backed down from a bully and I never will.” – Gov. Janet Mills

🎯IMPACT: The race is critical for Democrats’ efforts to regain the Senate majority, with Collins being the only Republican senator up for reelection in a state the Democrats carried in the presidential election.

IN FULL

Maine’s Governor Janet Mills (D) announced Tuesday that she will challenge incumbent Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) for her Senate seat in the 2026 midterm congressional elections. Mills, referencing President Donald J. Trump—who she has clashed with over her policy of allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports—stated she has “never backed down from a bully.”

Mills’s campaign video features a clip of Trump confronting her at the White House in February after she defied his executive order barring trans athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports. Notably, the Maine Democrat’s campaign fundraising page and announcement video were both inadvertently posted and subsequently deleted last Friday in a gaffe that has drawn accusations that her staff is unprepared for a daunting campaign against Collins.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who is fighting to keep the federal government shutdown in the face of political pressure from his party’s far-left flank, has encouraged Mills to enter the race. Democrats view unseating Collins as a pivotal step in regaining a Senate majority.

The 77-year-old Mills, however, faces a competitive primary field. If successful in unseating Collins, she would become the oldest freshman senator in U.S. history. “Donald Trump is ripping away health care from millions, driving up costs, and giving corporate CEOs massive tax cuts. And Susan Collins is helping him,” Mills claimed in her campaign announcement.

In February, The National Pulse reported that during a White House event, President Trump took Gov. Mills to task over allowing high school male athletes, who claim to be transgender, to compete against girls. “Is Maine here, the Governor of Maine?” President Trump asked during the lunch event with a bipartisan group of governors, asking her, “Are you not going to comply?”

When Mills claimed she was complying with state and federal law, Trump pressed her from the podium, warning, “Well, we are the federal law… You’d better do it, because you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t.”

In April, the Department of Justice (DOJ) launched an investigation and subsequently enforcement action against Maine, which is still pending in court.

Family of Elijah Wilks: Police Shooting ‘Justified.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Dashcam footage revealed that Elijah Wilks was shot by an off-duty Milwaukee police officer after striking him in the face with a pistol and aiming the weapon at him.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Elijah Wilks, an off-duty Milwaukee police officer, and members of Wilks’s family.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred on West Mill Road in Milwaukee, with footage released shortly after, ahead of the usual 15-day period.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The vantage point and resolution of the official dashcam video answers every question. The Wilks family has seen the truth for themselves. Now they want the public to see it too.” – B’Ivory LaMarr, attorney for the Wilks family.

🎯IMPACT: The release of the footage aims to combat misinformation and reduce the chances of “racial justice” rioting on behalf of Wilks, who was a black man.

IN FULL

The family of Elijah Wilks is backing an off-duty Milwaukee police officer’s decision to shoot their relative, stating it was “justified,” following the release of dashcam footage by authorities. The footage was shared earlier than the standard 15-day waiting period with the family’s permission to address misinformation surrounding the incident. Prior to the release, there were concerns in the community that far-left activists could try to turn the shooting into another George Floyd-esque moment and stoke violent riots in response.

The video, captured on the officer’s dashcam while he was on his way to work, shows Wilks swerving in front of the officer’s vehicle before both pulled over. Wilks exited his car, shouted expletives, and struck the officer in the face with a pistol. The footage then shows Wilks backing away, placing the gun in his pocket, and later retrieving it to aim at the officer, prompting the officer to open fire.

Wilks was pronounced dead at the scene. According to reports, he was heading to his uncle’s funeral later that day. The footage was released after low-quality surveillance videos led to confusion about the sequence of events. The family’s attorney, B’Ivory LaMarr, described the shooting as “justified” and emphasized the importance of transparency.

“The vantage point and resolution of the official dashcam video answers every question,” said LaMarr. “The Wilks family has seen the truth for themselves. Now they want the public to see it too. They are choosing truth over rumor—transparency over division.” He added that the case is about restoring public trust in law enforcement and ensuring accountability for all.

Wilks’s aunts, Latrice Bell and Andrea Ward, acknowledged the tragedy of the situation, with Bell stating, “That’s just something we have to live with.”

Ward added, “It could’ve been any one of us, any one of our kids, because we are all one seat away from making the wrong decision.”

Russia: Ukrainian Intelligence Is Working With the Islamic State.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Russian authorities claim to have foiled an Islamic State-led terrorist attack in Moscow, allegedly directed by Ukrainian intelligence.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), Islamic State (ISIS) operatives, Ukrainian intelligence, and four suspects, including Saidakbar Gulomov.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The plot was thwarted in Moscow, Russia, on Monday, per FSB statements.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The FSB has prevented a sabotage and terrorist act against one of the senior officers of the Russian Defense Ministry, organized by Ukrainian special services in coordination with leaders of the international terrorist organization Islamic State,” said the FSB.

🎯IMPACT: Russian authorities allege the incident highlights cooperation between Ukrainian intelligence and international terrorist organizations.

IN FULL

Russia announced on Monday that a terrorist attack in Moscow, allegedly planned by the Islamic State (ISIS) under the direction of Ukrainian intelligence, has been thwarted by its Federal Security Service (FSB). According to the FSB, ISIS operatives intended to target a high-ranking Russian Defense Ministry official with an explosive device in a crowded area of the city.

Four suspects, including a Central Asian national, were detained in connection with the plot. The FSB alleged that the operation was orchestrated by Ukrainian intelligence and executed by a suicide bomber recruited by an ISIS operative named Saidakbar Gulomov. The agency claimed Gulomov remotely directed the attacker’s actions from Ukraine and Western Europe using various messaging platforms.

Gulomov is also accused of providing funds, target information, and explosive materials smuggled into Russia via drones. The FSB further alleged that Gulomov was involved in the assassination of Russian Lieutenant General Kirillov in December 2024, an incident they also attribute to Ukrainian intelligence.

“The FSB has prevented a sabotage and terrorist act against one of the senior officers of the Russian Defense Ministry, organized by Ukrainian special services in coordination with leaders of the international terrorist organization Islamic State (banned as a terrorist organization in Russia),” the agency stated.

The FSB emphasized that this incident “once again demonstrates the close coordination between the Kiev regime and international terrorist organizations.” Previous terror attacks, such as a March 2024 assault on a concert hall near Moscow that killed 145 people, were similarly blamed on ISIS and Ukrainian intelligence by Russian authorities.

Leftist Mayor Tortured Almost to Death by Adopted Migrant Daughter.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: German mayor Iris Stalzer was reportedly tortured for hours by her adopted migrant daughter, who has not been arrested despite the severity of the crime.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Iris Stalzer, her 17-year-old adopted daughter, her 15-year-old adopted son, and local law enforcement in Herdecke, Germany.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The attack occurred on October 7, 2025, in Stalzer’s home in Herdecke, Germany.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Germans are being imprisoned for memes, while the daughter in this case will never appear before a court for her alleged heinous crimes.” – Austrian activist Martin Sellner

🎯IMPACT: The case is sparking outrage over perceived double standards in Germany’s justice system, with questions raised about why no charges have been filed.

IN FULL

New details have emerged in the case of Iris Stalzer, the Social Democrat (SPD) mayor of Herdecke, Germany, who was reportedly tortured for hours by her adopted 17-year-old migrant daughter. Despite the violent nature of the attack, no arrest warrants have been issued for the daughter or her 15-year-old brother, who is also believed to have been involved.

The incident occurred on October 7, 2025. Emergency services were called by the daughter, who initially claimed that her mother had been assaulted by “several men.” Police later determined that this version of events was fabricated to conceal the true nature of the attack. Investigators believe Stalzer was tortured in the basement of her home, where she was subjected to burns from deodorant spray ignited with a lighter and stabbed 13 times. One of the knives used in the attack was reportedly found in the brother’s backpack, along with bloody clothing, while another knife was discovered in his bedroom. Police also found evidence that blood had been scrubbed from parts of the crime scene.

Although the evidence suggests a deliberate and prolonged assault, prosecutors have not brought charges. According to statements, the fact that the daughter eventually called emergency services was taken as an indication that she did not intend to kill her adoptive mother. Both siblings have since been placed in the care of the Youth Welfare Office rather than facing detention or prosecution. The prosecutor also noted that the children’s father, once considered as a possible guardian, had also previously been a victim of violence by the daughter.

The case has sparked widespread public anger, with many critics accusing the justice system of a double standard. Austrian anti-mass migration activist Martin Sellner commented on the situation, saying, “Germans are being imprisoned for memes, while the daughter in this case will never appear before a court for her alleged heinous crimes.”

Concerns over selective prosecution in Germany have been growing. In recent months, authorities have faced criticism for criminal investigations and penalties targeting people over social media posts and political expression. One woman was prosecuted for reacting with ‘thumbs up’ emojis to a social media post about a 15-year-old killing a rapist migrant, while others were prevented from leaving Germany to attend a remigration conference abroad.

Dem State Backs Down on Forcing Priests to Violate Seal of Confession.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Washington State has settled a legal case that will end attempts to force Catholic priests to violate the seal of the sacrament of confession.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Washington State, the Roman Catholic Church, the Archdiocese of Seattle, and The Washington State Catholic Conference.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The Washington State Catholic Conference announced the settlement on October 10.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We’re grateful Washington ultimately recognized it can prevent abuse without forcing priests to violate their sacred vows.” – Washington State Catholic Conference.

🎯IMPACT: The settlement will allow priests to continue to hear confessions and uphold the seal of confession without threat of prison time or fines.

IN FULL

The State of Washington has agreed to a legal settlement that blocks enforcement of a controversial law that would have required Roman Catholic priests to report child abuse heard during the sacrament of confession. The settlement comes after a federal court issued an injunction this summer, ruling the law likely violated constitutional protections for religious freedom.

The law, originally scheduled to take effect on July 27, would have imposed penalties of up to 364 days in jail, a $5,000 fine, and potential civil liability for clergy who failed to report abuse disclosed in confession. While Washington argued the law aimed to protect minors, it maintained confidentiality protections for attorneys and other professionals, excluding only clergy in cases involving sacramental confession.

The Washington State Catholic Conference welcomed the settlement, stating, “In every other setting other than the confessional, the Church has long supported—and continues to support—mandatory reporting. We’re grateful Washington ultimately recognized it can prevent abuse without forcing priests to violate their sacred vows.”

Notably, the Archdiocese of Seattle and the Dioceses of Spokane and Yakima already require all Church personnel to report suspected abuse to law enforcement outside of the confessional setting.

In June, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Trump administration sued the state, calling the law a direct violation of the First Amendment. A federal judge agreed, writing that “the targeted exception for clergy raises concerns,” and noted that the law placed priests in an unconstitutional dilemma: violate their religious duty or face criminal penalties.

The dispute in Washington follows similar efforts in other states. In 2019, California introduced a bill that would have required priests to report abuse admitted in confession under certain conditions. That bill was later withdrawn after widespread public backlash and constitutional concerns.

The Catholic Church teaches that the seal of confession is absolute, and priests who violate it face the highest canonical penalty: automatic excommunication. Even indirect breaches can lead to removal from the priesthood. Many clergy have stated they would rather face imprisonment than violate the confessional seal.

Mehdi Hasan ‘Fears’ Hamas Will Lose Leverage Against Israel When Hostages Are Returned.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Former MSNBC host and Islamist Mehdi Hasan expressed his worry that Hamas is losing leverage in a peace deal brokered by President Donald J. Trump, as hostages are returned to Israel.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Mehdi Hasan, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Hamas.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Statements made on October 9, 2025, via social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

💬KEY QUOTE: “I said yesterday that my biggest fear was that Israel uses this deal to get back their remaining hostages and then restarts the bombing and genocide.” – Mehdi Hasan

🎯IMPACT: Hasan’s remarks have drawn criticism for appearing to lament the return of hostages to their families and loved ones.

IN FULL

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan is facing backlash over remarks he made criticizing the recent peace agreement between Israel and Hamas. The deal, brokered by President Donald J. Trump, includes the return of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) dated October 9, Hasan wrote, “I said yesterday that my biggest fear was that Israel uses this deal to get back their remaining hostages and then restarts the bombing and genocide.” He argued that the return of hostages would cause Hamas to lose its leverage, which he described as existing “in the form of Jewish lives.”

Hasan, who has been recorded describing non-Muslims as “animals,” cited Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to support his concern. Smotrich has emphasized the importance of dismantling Hamas and disarming Gaza, but he voted against the peace deal, which was approved by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet.

Hasan’s professional background has also attracted attention. After being let go from MSNBC in 2024, he rejoined Qatari-funded Al Jazeera and has continued to amplify anti-Israel commentary.

Trevor Noah Mocks Charlie Kirk’s ‘Funny’ Assassination.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Trevor Noah mocked the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk during a stand-up performance.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Trevor Noah, Charlie Kirk, Dave Chappelle, and Jimmy Kimmel.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Noah made the remarks during a recent stand-up performance; Kirk was assassinated on September 10 at Utah Valley University.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The guy was shot while defending guns… I’m not even writing that as a joke. As a human, you have to admit that it is an incongruous, funny thing that happens. You’re onstage, like, ‘Let me tell you why people should have guns.’ Wa-pow!” Noah said, inaccurately.

🎯IMPACT: Noah’s comments sparked backlash, with critics pointing to double standards and insensitivity.

IN FULL

Former Daily Show host Trevor Noah is facing backlash for mocking the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk. Kirk was assassinated on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. During a stand-up performance, Noah complained that comedians were being advised not to “say anything about Charlie Kirk” because there was “nothing funny about it.”

“Now you tested me. I mean, there’s nothing funny about it? Don’t say that, because then I’ll be like, ‘I’m sure there’s something funny about it,’” he continued.

“The guy was shot while defending guns… I’m not even writing that as a joke. As a human, you have to admit that is an incongruous, funny thing that happens. “You’re onstage, like, ‘Let me tell you why people should have guns.’ Wa-pow!” he added—inaccurately, as Kirk was actually discussing transgender mass shooters when he was murdered.

Noah cast himself as a martyr for comedy following the resulting backlash, comparing the public’s anger at his remarks to historical jokes about President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination and complaining that audiences shouldn’t be “terrorized” into silence.

However, critics have pointed to Noah’s recent praise for Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Comedy Festival, where he had lauded the sharia state as “moving in the right direction” on civil liberties, despite its severe blasphemy and censorship laws.

Noah is not the only alleged comedian under scrutiny. Jimmy Kimmel also faced criticism for falsely suggesting that Kirk’s assassin was affiliated with the MAGA movement. Meanwhile, Education Secretary Linda McMahon has urged universities to sanction faculty who applauded the killing online.

Conservative activist Scott Presler claimed to have received over 51,000 tips identifying individuals, many of them teachers, who mocked Kirk’s death on social media. A website called “Charlie’s Murderers” was launched to document these posts, and some have reportedly been fired or disciplined in response.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Israeli military announced a partial withdrawal of troops from parts of Gaza following the implementation of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Hamas, U.S. President Donald J. Trump, and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The ceasefire took effect on Friday morning, with troop withdrawals observed in Gaza City and Khan Younis.

💬KEY QUOTE: The IDF stated that troops “began positioning themselves along the updated deployment lines” and will continue to address immediate threats.

🎯IMPACT: Thousands of Palestinians have begun returning to northern Gaza as the ceasefire takes effect.

IN FULL

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed a partial withdrawal of troops from parts of Gaza following the implementation of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The ceasefire, which began on Friday morning, was phase one of a deal brokered by U.S. President Donald J. Trump to facilitate the return of hostages and the release of prisoners, with the eventual aim of disarming Hamas and rebuilding Gaza.

Under the agreement, Hamas has until Monday to release all Israeli hostages, including 20 believed to be alive and up to 28 hostages’ remains. In return, Israel is expected to release approximately 250 Palestinian prisoners and allow 600 aid trucks daily into Gaza to address the humanitarian crisis.

The IDF stated that troops “began positioning themselves along the updated deployment lines” and will continue to address immediate threats. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff confirmed that the IDF had completed the first phase of withdrawal to the “yellow line,” as outlined in a White House map.

Thousands of Palestinians have been seen traveling north, many on foot, carrying their remaining belongings. “Even if the house is destroyed, even if it’s just rubble, we’ll go back, put up a tent, and return to our people,” said Wael Al-Najjar, one of many displaced residents.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the ongoing mission to disarm Hamas and demilitarize Gaza, stating that Israeli troops remain positioned to encircle Hamas. Meanwhile, families of hostages held by Hamas expressed cautious relief, with many awaiting the return of their loved ones.

Tony Blair Held Meeting With Jeffrey Epstein as Prime Minister.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Documents reveal that former British Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair met pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein in Downing Street in 2002, following lobbying by Lord Peter Mandelson.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Tony Blair, Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Mandelson, former President Bill Clinton, and British civil servant Matthew Rycroft.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The meeting took place on May 14, 2002, at 5:00 PM GMT in Downing Street, London.

💬KEY QUOTE: “As far as he can remember, Mr Blair met with him for less than 30 minutes in Downing Street in 2002, and discussed U.S. and UK politics. He never met or engaged with him subsequently.” – Spokesman for Tony Blair

🎯IMPACT: The release of these documents, previously blocked, sheds new light on Epstein’s political connections.

IN FULL

Former British Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair met pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein in Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s official residence, in May 2002, according to documents released by the United Kingdom’s National Archives. The meeting was arranged following lobbying by Lord Peter Mandelson, who described Epstein as “a friend of mine” and a close associate of former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Emails show that Mandelson, the recently fired British ambassador to the U.S., urged Blair’s chief of staff, Jonathan Powell, to arrange the meeting, describing Epstein as “safe” and someone who had his “finger on the pulse” of global markets. A memo from British civil servant Matthew Rycroft briefed Blair about Epstein, describing him as a “financial adviser to the super-rich” and a friend of Clinton and Mandelson.

Blair’s spokesman states that the meeting lasted less than 30 minutes and focused on U.S. and UK politics, “As far as he can remember, Mr. Blair met with him for less than 30 minutes in Downing Street in 2002, and discussed U.S. and UK politics. He never met or engaged with him subsequently.”

“This was, of course, long before his crimes were known of and his subsequent conviction,” the spokesman insisted. Epstein pleaded guilty on June 30, 2008, to two state charges for soliciting prostitution from a minor and died in 2019 while awaiting trial on further child sex trafficking charges.

The documents reveal that Mandelson told Powell that Clinton wanted to introduce Epstein to Blair, describing him as “young and vibrant” and “an active scientific catalyst/entrepreneur.” Mandelson’s email also noted that Epstein was traveling with Clinton and could adjust his schedule to meet Blair.

The release of these documents, previously withheld over supposed concerns about their impact on UK-U.S. relations, raises further questions about the extent of Epstein’s connections within political circles. Clinton has acknowledged knowing Epstein but denies any knowledge of his criminal activities.

The National Pulse reported earlier this month that Epstein’s banking and investment activities were more extensive than previously known, involving multiple banks and significant transactions with hedge funds. The true extent of Epstein’s investment portfolio and banking ties was revealed after his estate provided Congress with a list of over 20 banks where he held accounts.
