Maryland Circuit Court Judge Andrew Wilkinson has died after being gunned down in the driveway of his home in Hagerstown. The 52-year-old was transported to the Meritus Medical Center after the authorities discovered him around 8 p.m. last Thursday, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Law enforcement officers were initially dispatched to the homes of other judges in the Old Line State as investigators scrambled to find a motive for the attack. Since then, they have named 49-year-old Pedro Argote, who had a divorce hearing before Wilkinson on Thursday, as their main suspect.
Police are warning the public “to not approach [Argote] but to immediately notify law enforcement” if they think they see him. His nationality has not been disclosed.
“Drew was an exceptional lawyer and a man who loved his family,” a former law colleague said of the slain judge. “His wife and kids were always his highest priority and my thoughts go out to them at this horrible time,” he added.

A staffer for Republican Senator Katie Britt was robbed and carjacked at gunpoint in Mayor Muriel Bowser‘s Washington D.C. earlier this week, according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).
Amanda Pepper, a scheduler in Senator Britt’s office, told authorities that moments after she parked her car and began walking to her office, the suspect pointed a gun to her face and demanded she “give me your purse and keys” at around 8:30 pm on Thursday. The suspect then took her possessions and car before fleeing the scene.
Senator Britt’s office said in a statement following the incident, “It is infuriating and completely unacceptable that an American who is on Capitol Hill to serve her country cannot safely walk the streets of Washington, D.C. at 8:30 at night because of the out-of-control crime in this city.”
“Just look at the police department’s own numbers – this year, robberies are up 68% and motor vehicle thefts are up 102%. Local elected officials in the District of Columbia have the responsibility not just to their citizens, but to the country, to step up and get a hold of the crime crisis ravaging the streets of our nation’s capital,” the statement added.
This comes less than a month after Democratic Representative Enrique ‘Henry’ Cuellar was carjacked by three armed men in the U.S. Capitol. The city is expected to witness up to 1,000 carjackings by the end of this year, representing an over 100 percent increase in the offense compared to 2022.

Samantha Woll, the president of a synagogue in Detroit, was found dead with multiple stab wounds outside of her home over the weekend, according to the city’s police force.
Detroit authorities said Woll’s body was discovered by a passerby around 6:30 on Saturday morning after a “trail of blood” led to the victim’s home in Lafayette Park. The police were, however, quick to caution against any speculation over the intentions of the murderer, who is yet to be identified. Chief of Detroit police, James White, urged the public to remain patient, adding that a full update will be given on Monday.
Woll, 40, presided over the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue and formerly worked as an aide to Democratic Representative Elissa Slotkin as well as a campaign staffer to Attorney General Dana Nessel.
She was described as a “passionate Muslim-Jewish bridge builder” and participated in founding the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Detroit. She also hosted events welcoming Syrian refugees to the city.
“We are shocked and saddened to learn of the unexpected death of Samantha Woll, our Board President,” the synagogue said in a statement following the news before adding: “At this point we do not have more information, but will share more when it becomes available.”

The Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas terrorist organization, has announced that it has released two American hostages into Egyptian custody after intervening mediation by the Qatari government. Although it is currently unclear why the two American hostages – a mother and daughter – were released, Hamas is claiming it made the decision based on ‘humanitarian grounds.’
Two weeks ago Hamas terrorists operating out of the Gaza Strip launched a surprise attack against Israeli civilians, killing over 1,000 men, women, and children. The terrorist group, which govern’s the Gaza territory, took over 200 Israeli and American citizens hostage and indications are they intend to be used as human shields in Gaza if Israeli invades the territory.
Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defense minister, has ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip, vowing: “There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed.”
“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” Gallant said.
Last week U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) declared it is “time to take the war to the Ayatollah’s backyard,” urging the U.S. government to bomb Iran every time Hamas executes one of its Israeli hostages in Gaza. It is widely believed that Iran helped plan and execute Hamas’s attack on Israel.
The Republican war hawk told Fox that “for every Israeli or American hostage executed by Hamas, we should take down an Iranian oil refinery.”Hamas has threatened to execute one of the estimated 150 hostages it took back to Gaza during its 48-hour incursion into Israel on video every time “our people who are safe in their homes [are bombed] without warning” in Israeli air strikes.

The British government, which has already imported over 20,000 Afghans to the United Kingdom following Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Kabul, is footing the hotel bills of thousands more in Pakistan as they await their chance to be imported too.
Around 3,000 Afghans eligible for resettlement in Britain are believed to be in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, as the British government had ceased chartering flights and begun asking migrants to arrange their own housing in Britain before arriving. What the British government has been doing, however, is paying for them to live in Pakistani hotels – a service it has also been providing to illegal migrants in Britain itself, at a cost of roughly £8 million (~$10 million) per day.
With the Pakistani government having now ordered Afghans in the country illegally to leave or face deportation starting in November, British deep state diplomats are urging the government to accelerate the process of bringing these Afghans to the United Kingdom. The British government appears ready to comply, and has now waived the requirement for Afghans in Pakistan to arrange their own housing.
At least some of the Afghans imported to Britain already were on watch lists or had previously been deported from the country, but the British government has refused to provide exact numbers in case they result in Afghans being stigmatized.

The ancient Church of St. Porphyrius in Gaza was caught in a devastating explosion on Thursday, with the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem blaming Israel for the blast.
Church officials say two halls in their compound were hit on Thursday while providing shelter to hundreds of people displaced by the war, including women and children.
“The Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem expresses its strongest condemnation of the Israeli airstrike that have struck its church compound in the city of Gaza,” the Church said in an official statement, describing the alleged bombing as a “war crime”.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) say they were targeting a Hamas command center and are aware of having “damaged the wall of a church in the area,” adding they are investigating the claims of civilian casualties.
Serving Christian communities dating back to the earliest days of Christianity, churches in Gaza and the West Bank are often critical of the Israel government – although their precarious position, surrounded by much larger Muslim communities in territory controlled by jihadist entities such as Hamas, likely plays a role on this.
The Church of St. Porphyrius dates back to the 5th century.

MSNBC analyst and far-left website ‘Mother Jones’ Washington bureau chief David Corn has published an essay dismissing Steve Bannon’s assessment that China and Iran are more-than-eager to foment the war between Israel and Hamas as the conflict could serve to diminish American power. Surmising that regional and global powers like China and Iran could benefit from a worn down and war weary America is a “conspiracy theory” according to Corn.
Bannon’s theory about Chinese and Iranian interests in the Israel-Hamas conflict is wrong because he discussed it with War Room guest Alex Jones, says Corn, who calls Jones “scurrilous conspiracist” and “dangerous grifter.” Despite the ad hominem, what Jones told Bannon is a reasonable estimation of how Chinese grand strategy is intertwined with the interests of the global anti-American elite:
“[They] want to wear [out] America, destabilize America, and drive nations of the world away from a Western uni-power to this multi-polar world they talk about that really will finally end up unseating the US as the dominant force of the planet.”
The Chinese Communist Party has been shown to be actively working to undermine the power and influence of Western nation’s around the globe. In the United Kingdom two parliament staffers with links to senior lawmakers were arrested in March on the suspicion that they were acting as spies for Communist China. The UK Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee even published a report admitting that China had infiltrated every level of the country’s economy in an effort to exert influence over the British nation and its interests.
In the U.S., powerful Wall Street interests, like hedge-fund billionaire Jeff Yass, have poured money into preventing the government from banning the Chinese social media app TikTok – despite credible accusations that the Chinese Communist Party uses the app as an espionage tool. Yass is a major investor in TikTok with $21 billion of his $28 billion net worth wrapped up in the app. And in an example that adds additional strength to Bannon’s thoughts on China, the communist nation continues to back the Russian invasion of Ukraine in an effort to undermine the U.S. hegemony and push us towards a multi-polar world.

A U.S. Asylum Officer tasked with deciding who should be granted legal status in America celebrated the Hamas attacks on Israel by posting pictures of armed terrorists paragliding into the Jewish State.
Nejwa Ali worked as a public affairs officer for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) before she was hired by the Department of Homeland Security to adjudicate asylum claims for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). She described herself as “American born, Palestinian [at] heart” on her social media, which was filled with anti-Israel rhetoric.
“Palestine will be free one day. F*** APARTHEID Israel and any Israeli that supports that bulls***. F*** you, may Allah forgive you. and spare us the crocodile tears, I sure as hell give zero f***s,” Ali wrote in one Instagram post.
“F*** Israel and any Jew that supports Israel,” she said in a similar Facebook post.
Elsewhere, Ali declared “Israeli, American privilege is disgusting,” and that she “hold[s] every Israeli accountable for their governments [sic] actions, IF they do not speak against Israel.”
USCIS insisted “applicants seeking employment with USCIS are thoroughly vetted and subject to extensive security and background checks before they can receive a permanent position with the agency” when asked about Ali.
It is unclear whether this is a lie, given her previous employment and social media activity, or if USCIS was aware of her behavior and hired her anyway.

Former Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert has endorsed Kari Lake for U.S. Senate, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.
Gohmert, who served in Congress from 2005 to 2023, was a leading Tea Party Republican in the House and even sued Vice President Mike Pence in an attempt to have the 2020 election corrected.
Gohmert said on Thursday: “Kari Lake burst onto the political scene three years ago, and what I saw was a kindred spirit.
“Kari calls it how she sees it. In fact, if you consider constructive suggestions to be microaggressions, then you may find her candid observations sound like booming thunder. And she sees a swampy quagmire in Washington DC that needs to be plowed up and aired out. She’s just the one to do it too.
“In the Senate, Kari Lake will not be converted into yet another hallelujah praise team for the establishment status quo. She knows this country is in a desperate condition that requires steadfast nerves of steel to get us back on track. She’ll help return our nation to its basic principles that cultivate strong families, a secure border, scrutinized conservative spending, and a federal government that protects our Constitutional rights instead of violating them. Kari is the political fighter Arizona and this country needs in the United States Senate, which is why I am proud to endorse her as your next U.S. Senator.”
Welcoming the announcement, Kari Lake told The National Pulse: “Louie Gohmert went to The Swamp promising to fight the status quo and over his 18 years in DC he did just that.
“Like Former Congressman Gohmert, I am unafraid to stand up and speak what’s on the mind of the American people. I share his dedication to preserving our founding principles, and will always fight to protect our families.
“When I get to Washington D.C., I am going to be uncompromising in the defense of Arizona’s freedoms.
“I am proud to have the endorsement of America First freedom fighter Louie Gohmert!”

Paramount Global has announced the cancellation of the 2023 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs), saying it does not seem like an appropriate time for such a celebration – but also indicating fear of a radical Islamic terror attack played a role in the decision.
“The MTV EMAs are an annual celebration of global music. As we watch the devastating events in Israel and Gaza continue to unfold, this does not feel like a moment for a global celebration. With thousands of lives already lost, it is a moment of mourning,” the company said in a statement.
The awards ceremony, held every year since 1994, was due to take place in Paris, France – currently on high alert for acts of terrorism after violent protests over the conflict in Gaza, and a possible terror attack in Arras which saw a Chechen refugee stab a schoolteacher to death in broad daylight why crying “Allah hu Akbar!”
MTV said confirmed the awards were canceled “out of an abundance of caution for the thousands of employees, crew members, artists, fans, and partners who travel from all corners of the world to bring the show to life.”
