UK Conservative Party Promotes Trump, Vance Critic to Top Post.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Sir James Cleverly has been returned to Britain’s Shadow Cabinet by the Conservative (Tory) Party.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Sir James Cleverly, the Conservative Party, and the Trump administration.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Britain, July 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Dear Republican colleagues, please, please, please don’t choose Donald Trump as the front man for American Right-of-Centre politics. Please.” – James Cleverly in 2015.

🎯IMPACT: The move may further strain relations between the Conservative Party and President Donald J. Trump, who previously lamented that the party had gone “far left” in office.

IN FULL

Britain’s notionally center-right Conservative (Tory) Party has returned Sir James Cleverly, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Braintree, to the Shadow Cabinet. The move may further sour relations between the Conservatives, who governed Britain from 2010 to mid-2024, and the Trump administration, with Cleverly having a long history of criticizing President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.

Cleverly publicly begged Republicans not to nominate Trump as their candidate in 2015, writing on Twitter (now X), “Dear Republican colleagues, please, please, please don’t choose Donald Trump as the front man for American Right-of-Centre politics. Please.”

Following the America First leader’s election in 2016 and inauguration in 2017, Cleverly railed that “President Trump‘s immigration and Syrian refugee ban is indefensible, unworkable and almost certainly unconstitutional.” Conversely, he gushed over how much he enjoyed meeting former President Joe Biden in 2024, describing the Democrat as “a great friend to the UK” despite his barely concealed loathing for the British and especially the English.

More recently, Clevery has criticized Trump and Vance for their pro-peace foreign policy, particularly with respect to Ukraine. In March, he misinterpreted remarks by Vance that European troops “from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years” could not offer better security guarantees to Ukraine than the U.S. as referring to Britain, saying the Vice President was being “foolish and insulting.”

Despite his party’s name, Cleverly’s ideology leans more towards extreme liberalism rather than conservatism. For instance, he has written that he looks forward to a future of “free market labor movements”—i.e. open borders for foreign workers—and he subscribes to the woke-left view that “Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.”

The son of an immigrant from Sierra Leone, Cleverley insists that Britain’s social cohesion and sense of identity “is not being watered down by immigration,” arguing that anyone who says otherwise is “extremist and racist.”

“We have managed to stay British through immigration from the Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Huguenots, Jews, Irish, West Indians, West Africans, East Africans, Indians, Pakistanis, etc., etc., etc. Britishness evolved, but it did not diminish,” he claimed.

Nigeria-raised Conservative Party leader Olukemi “Kemi” Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch has previously described herself as a “first-generation immigrant,” although she was born in London. The party is rapidly declining in popularity under her leadership, with Nigel Farage’s populist Reform Party set to supplant it on the British right.

Coca-Cola Launching New Drink Made With American Cane Sugar After Trump Talks.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: The Coca-Cola Company announced plans to release a new beverage made with American cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Coca-Cola and President Donald J. Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announcement made Tuesday, with plans for a fall launch.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I have been speaking to [Coca-Cola] about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: Coca-Cola’s move may appeal to consumers seeking alternatives to high-fructose corn syrup.

IN FULL

On Tuesday, The Coca-Cola Company announced plans to release a new beverage using American cane sugar this fall, aiming to expand its Trademark Coca-Cola product lineup. The soda maker emphasized that this addition will diversify its offerings and bolster consumer choice.

In a recent Truth Social post, President Donald J. Trump claimed responsibility for the decision, stating, “I have been speaking to [Coca-Cola] about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!”

Coca-Cola’s official response said, “We appreciate President Trump’s enthusiasm for our iconic Coca-Cola brand. More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon.”

Until the 1980s, Coca-Cola used cane sugar in the U.S. before switching to high-fructose corn syrup, which has become ubiquitous in many foods and drinks due to government subsidies. The cane sugar-based formula is still used in places like Europe and Australia, and is currently imported from Mexico to the U.S., where it is called ‘Mexican Coke’ and enjoys a certain prestige.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a longtime critic of high-fructose corn syrup, noting how activist plutocrats such as Bill Gates use it to generate massive profits for themselves at the expense of public health.

While some vested interests are arguing that a shift from high-fructose corn syrup will hurt American farms, sugar cane is produced in the U.S., particularly in Florida and Louisiana, and it was once a major crop in Hawaii. U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands also cultivate it.

Trump Declassifies MLK Files.

The Trump administration declassified over 230,000 pages of documents related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.—checking another item off the President’s list of campaign promises.

The details: The files span decades of federal investigations and include newly digitized documents made public for the first time.

  • While it’s unclear whether the documents will reveal new narrative-changing details, they do include notes from the original investigation, interview transcripts, and intel on interactions with foreign agencies.
  • The release may also include controversial information about King’s private life, which some family members have expressed concern over.

Back up: King was assassinated in 1968 while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel with friends. A man named James Earl Ray was blamed for the murder, but there are conspiracies that he was not the lone actor – or not the shooter at all.

Family Matters: MLK’s niece, Alveda King, reacted to the declassification, saying it was “a historic step towards the truth that the American people deserve.”

Transparency push: The release follows similar declassifications under President Trump related to the JFK and RFK assassinations. However, the public is still awaiting full transparency on Jeffrey Epstein.

Real talk from G: Isn’t it a shame that the first black U.S. president, Barack Obama, didn’t have the guts to challenge the intel agencies who wanted to keep the MLK files classified?

The last word goes to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who said: “Under President Trump’s leadership, we are ensuring that no stone is left unturned in our mission to deliver complete transparency on this pivotal and tragic event in our nation’s history. I extend my deepest appreciation to the King family for their support

Bondi Backs Clinton Email Investigation.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) released documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced on Friday, July 15, 2025, during a news conference in Arlington, Virginia.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Today, the Department of Justice honored Chairman Grassley’s request to release information relating to former-FBI Director James Comey’s failed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of highly classified information during her tenure as Secretary of State.” – Pam Bondi

🎯IMPACT: The documents provide transparency into the investigation, following long-standing requests for clarity on the matter.

IN FULL

Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Friday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has made public a collection of documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. The disclosure follows repeated appeals from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who has consistently called for more openness in the investigation.

Speaking at a press conference held at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, Bondi credited Grassley’s persistence and highlighted the Justice Department’s broader mission to uphold transparency.

“Today, the Department of Justice honored Chairman Grassley’s request to release information relating to former-FBI Director James Comey‘s failed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of highly classified information during her tenure as Secretary of State. I commend Chairman Grassley for his unwavering, years-long commitment to exposing the truth and holding those who seek to conceal it accountable,” Bondi said.

The timing of the release coincides with renewed questions surrounding Bondi’s office, particularly in relation to how it has managed documents connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Of particular note are accusations that several minutes’ worth of footage surrounding the alleged suicide of Epstein is missing from supposedly “raw” surveillance footage from near his cell released by the DOJ and the FBI.

This Western European Country Is Desperate to Rebuild Its Abandoned Bomb Shelters.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Fears of an attack from Russia are prompting Germany to look urgently at replacing air-raid bunkers after shutting down nearly all of its Cold War-era facilities.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: German government, German military (Bundeswehr), Norbert Gebbeken of the University of the Bundeswehr, and Russia.

📍WHEN & WHERE: A report on Germany’s desire for new air raid shelters was published on July 20.

💬KEY QUOTE: “When I ask my friends what their stockpiling situation is… the usual joke is that they have enough red wine to last for a year.” – Tim Stuchtey of the Brandenburg Institute for Society and Security

🎯IMPACT: Germany is looking to prepare for what the country’s leadership seems to believe is an inevitable conflict with Russia.

IN FULL

Less than two decades after decommissioning its last air-raid bunkers, Germany is reversing course amid rising fears of a Russian attack. Of the 2,000 bunkers operational during the Cold War, only 580 remain—covering just 480,000 people, or 0.5 percent of the population. Many of those are mostly unusable.

“Maintenance and servicing of civil protection equipment is no longer taking place,” a government spokesman said. The remaining shelters, including those in the capital of Berlin, are “neither functional nor operational.”

Spurred by Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Germany has pledged to become “war-ready” by 2029, with military spending set to nearly double. “When I ask my friends what their stockpiling situation is… the usual joke is that they have enough red wine to last for a year,” said Tim Stuchtey of the Brandenburg Institute for Society and Security. “But it’s not enough for the Bundeswehr [military] to be ready. So must the whole of society.”

A 2024 classified plan, Operation Plan Germany, outlines infrastructure protection and NATO troop movement, with bunkers as a key component. “The government must define what it considers the threat to be. And secondly, what should be protected,” said Norbert Gebbeken of the University of the Bundeswehr, Germany’s armed forces. “Neither of these questions has been answered yet.”

Rather than rebuilding vast Cold War bunkers, authorities are identifying basements, garages, and subway stations that can be rapidly reinforced. “The idea is to use existing spaces and reinforce them,” said Gebbeken. “They aren’t entirely improvised. This is what we know from Israel and other places.”

Germany plans to shelter a million civilians by the end of 2026 and scale up. A mobile app is also in development to guide citizens to the nearest shelter and convert private rooms. “By signaling that we are… able and willing to defend our values, we contribute to our deterrent,” said Stuchtey. “We’re basically telling Russia: Don’t even think about it.”

While Germany looks to rearm and become one of the most powerful militaries in Europe, the country has been plagued by equipment shortages and a population that has a largely unfavorable view of service in the armed forces. A 2024 poll showed that less than a third of Germans, 32 percent, were willing to join the armed forces if Germany were attacked by a foreign adversary. A massive 57 percent said they would refuse to serve.

Obama Judge Takes Control of Trump’s WSJ Legal Battle.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, claiming defamation over allegations tied to a letter he supposedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Donald Trump, Judge Darrin P. Gayles, The Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch, and WSJ reporters.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The lawsuit was filed in July in Miami, Florida, and assigned to Judge Gayles of the Southern District of Florida.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The reason for those failures is because no authentic letter or drawing exists.” – Trump lawsuit complaint

🎯IMPACT: The case being run by a judge appointed by former President Obama raises concerns that President Trump will not receive a fair hearing.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump has launched a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent company News Corp, Dow Jones, and several others, alleging they published a false and defamatory report claiming he sent a sexually suggestive birthday card to deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.

The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Florida, has been assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Darrin P. Gayles. Judge Gayles was trumpeted by the left as the first openly gay black man confirmed to the federal bench when then-President Barack Obama appointed him in 2014.

Trump accuses the WSJ of fabricating the story and failing to present any legitimate proof, such as the alleged letter or evidence confirming he wrote it. “The reason for those failures is because no authentic letter or drawing exists,” Trump’s legal team argues in the complaint.

The suit also names high-profile defendants, including media mogul Rupert Murdoch, News Corp CEO Robert Thomson, publisher Dow Jones, and the two journalists responsible for the article. Trump’s lawyers allege the report was crafted with the intent to harm his reputation.

Gabbard Submits Criminal Referral for Obama Officials to DOJ.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed it received a criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to investigate Obama-era officials over alleged politicized intelligence in the Trump-Russia probe.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Tulsi Gabbard, former President Barack Obama, and officials from the Obama administration.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The referral was confirmed on Monday, following Gabbard’s declassification of documents last week.

🎯IMPACT: The investigation could reignite scrutiny over the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative and its handling by the Obama administration.

IN FULL

The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed on Monday that it received a criminal referral sent by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard to investigate Obama-era officials for “manufactured and politicized intelligence” regarding the Trump-Russia probe. Last week, Gabbard declassified documents that she claims implicate former President Barack Obama in the bogus allegations that Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia to interfere in the election.

On Friday, Gabbard described the declassified documents as exposing “a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.” She also promised that this was just the beginning: “We will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place, and the extent to which this information was sought to be hidden from the American people.”

Additionally, the Director of National Intelligence indicated that criminal referrals were likely, which has now been confirmed.

Over the weekend, President Donald J. Trump shared an AI-generated video clip depicting the FBI arresting Obama in the Oval Office, with Obama shown handcuffed and brought to his knees in front of a smiling Trump.

Meanwhile, Trump applauded Gabbard’s move to declassify the files while reacting to a cable news discussion of the matter, writing on his Truth Social platform, “The Panel was fantastic on prosecuting Obama and the ‘thugs’ who have just been unequivocally exposed on highest level Election Fraud. Congratulations to Tulsi Gabbard. Keep it coming!!!”

World Economic Forum Doctored Data to Make Brexit Look Bad.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) has been accused of manipulating research to portray Brexit negatively.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: WEF chief Klaus Schwab, WEF staff, and whistleblowers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Allegations surfaced in July 2025; incidents relate to a 2017/2018 economic report.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Every conspiracy theory about Klaus Schwab now turns out to be true.” – Brexit champion Nigel Farage

🎯IMPACT: Alleged anti-democratic practices at the WEF have been exposed, raising serious questions about its integrity.

IN FULL

The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) has come under scrutiny following allegations that its leader, Klaus Schwab, manipulated research data to undermine Brexit. Whistleblowers say that Schwab personally intervened in the organization’s Global Competitiveness Report to prevent the United Kingdom from appearing successful post-Brexit.

In 2017, Britain’s ranking in the report was altered from an improvement to a decline, allegedly at Schwab’s direction. He told staffers Britain “must not see any improvement” in its economic position as this would be “exploited by the Brexit camp”—by proving that Brexit supporters were right to argue that voting to Leave the European Union (EU) in 206 would not result in economic disaster.

An internal investigation by the WEF, prompted by a whistleblower, also looked into Schwab’s conduct, including misusing funds and improper interactions with staff. The organization hosts the Davos summit in Davos, Switzerland, every year, bringing together politicians, plutocrats, and nonprofits to push post-national, globalist ideology.

Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s rising Reform Party and Brexit’s leading proponent, responded to the revelations by saying, “Every conspiracy theory about Klaus Schwab now turns out to be true.”

Lord David Frost, one of the negotiators for the British government following the Brexit vote, said it was “rare we get such clear direct evidence of the global establishment’s hostility to Brexit,” adding: “Schwab’s alleged deliberate downgrading of Brexit Britain in his Global Competitiveness Report, directly contrary to the actual evidence, shows how deeply embedded distrust of national independence is, and how determined so many people are to suppress any discussion of its benefits.”

Bannon Sets Date for Exclusive Epstein Footage Release.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: WarRoom host and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon is facing calls from Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, to release footage of interviews with Jeffrey Epstein for an unreleased documentary. However, Bannon has already committed to releasing the footage from his unfinished project, The Monsters: Epstein’s Life Among the Global Elite.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Stephen K. Bannon, deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, and Epstein’s brother Mark.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The footage was recorded in 2018, with Bannon committing to its release early next year in July 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We’re gonna release the film, the five-part series, next year, early next year.” – Stephen K. Bannon

🎯IMPACT: Bannon says The Monsters is about “how the elites and the intelligence services are inextricably linked.”

IN FULL

In 2021, the New York Post released a trailer for a documentary about deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, produced by WarRoom host and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon. The footage, which reportedly includes over 15 hours of interviews, has not been released, with Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, publicly calling on Bannon to release the tapes of Friday, demanding, “Let me see the videotapes. He’s my brother.” However, Bannon has already committed to releasing the footage.

“We’re gonna release the film, the five-part series, next year, early next year,” Bannon said earlier this month. “And by the way, the entire thing is how the elites and the intelligence services are inextricably linked… You’re gonna have to name names and you’re gonna have to understand how the elites in the world, but also the intelligence services, are inextricably linked in Epstein’s story,” he reiterated,” adding: “That’s the key.”

The unfinished documentary, tentatively titled The Monsters: Epstein’s Life Among the Global Elite, was intended to expose how powerful global actors and institutions supported Epstein’s actions. It has long been suspected that Epstein collected blackmail on the people he trafficked minors to, possibly on behalf of a foreign intelligence service such as the Mossad.

Notably, Mark Epstein has expressed doubts about the official explanation of his brother’s death, which was ruled a suicide in 2019. “More and more, I believe he was murdered,” he said last week, adding that anyone who examines the facts would reach the same conclusion.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under President Donald J. Trump recently said that they believe Epstein died by suicide, releasing footage from a surveillance camera near his cell said to prove no one entered the area where he was detained around the time of his death. However, it was later determined that the “raw” footage had actually been edited, with several minutes missing from it.

Bannon has been one of the key figures in MAGA pushing for greater transparency since the DOJ attempted to effectively close the Epstein case, urging President Donald J. Trump to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate it.

Trump Tells Washington Commanders to Bring Back ‘Redskins’ Name or Face Losing Stadium Deal.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump has threatened to block a stadium deal for the Washington Commanders unless the team reverts to its original name, the Redskins.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Donald Trump, the Washington Commanders, the NFL, and Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Guardians.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Trump’s comments were posted on Truth Social on Sunday, referencing a proposed new stadium at the RFK Stadium site in Washington, D.C.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original Washington Redskins and get rid of the ridiculous moniker Washington Commanders I won’t make a deal for them to build a stadium in Washington.” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: Trump’s comments have reignited debate over team name changes and their cultural significance, while also pressuring local officials on the stadium project.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump has threatened to block the Washington Commanders’ proposed new stadium unless the team reverts to its former name, the Redskins. In a post shared on July 20 on Truth Social, Trump said there’s a “big clamouring” for the name to change back, calling the current title “ridiculous.”

“I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,’ I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington,” Trump wrote. “The team would be much more valuable and the deal would be more exciting for everyone.”

The NFL franchise abandoned the Redskins name in July 2020 after years of left-wing heckling that it was offensive to Native Americans. The team temporarily went by the Washington Football Team before officially rebranding as the Commanders in 2022.

In April, a deal was struck to build a new 65,000-seat stadium on the site of the old RFK Stadium, which served as the team’s home from 1961 to 1997.

Trump also referenced the Cleveland Guardians in his Truth Social post, encouraging Major League Baseball’s team to return to its former name, the Cleveland Indians, which was retired in 2021. “Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen,” he wrote. “Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them.”

When asked about Trump’s comments, Guardians president Chris Antonetti said: “Not something I’m tracking or paying a lot of attention to. But I would say generally, I understand there are very different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago. It’s a decision we made and we’ve gotten the opportunity to build the brand as the Guardians over the last four years, and we’re excited about the future.”

Earlier this year, Trump made headlines when he became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. He was present at the February matchup, where the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40–22.
