Top Democrat Goes Absolutely Bonkers During Half-Naked Arrest.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Dash cam footage shows South Carolina Democratic gubernatorial candidate William “Mullins” McLeod being arrested in May, wearing only underwear and shoes, while behaving erratically and making bizarre statements.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: William “Mullins” McLeod, South Carolina gubernatorial Democratic candidate, and Charleston police officers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The arrest occurred in May in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. The footage was recently released through a Freedom of Information Act request.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I’m one of the most just humans to ever walk this soil. Superman sounds good.” – William “Mullins” McLeod

🎯IMPACT: McLeod faces calls from his own party to withdraw from the 2026 gubernatorial race, with party leadership urging him to focus on his well-being.

IN FULL

A leading South Carolina Democratic Party candidate for governor is facing calls to drop out of the race despite having only announced his run on Monday, August 11. Prominent Charleston Democrat and attorney, William “Mullins” McLeod, is under mounting scrutiny after bizarre dash cam footage from his May arrest was released.

The footage, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA), shows McLeod being arrested in downtown Charleston while wearing only underwear and shoes. Police reports indicate he was “yelling at the top of his lungs” and exhibiting behavior consistent with being under the influence of a stimulant narcotic.

During the arrest, McLeod referred to himself as “God” and “Superman” and threatened to “kick [an opponent’s] f**king teeth in.” He also issued threats toward current and former South Carolina politicians, including Republican Attorney General Alan Wilson. McLeod repeatedly refused to provide his name to officers, stating, “It doesn’t matter, my friend, trust me. I’m one of the most just humans to ever walk this soil.”

McLeod, who launched his campaign for governor earlier this week, is facing calls from South Carolina Democratic Party leadership to step down. Christale Spain, chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party, stated, “After reviewing the transcript of the dash cam footage from his recent arrest, it is clear that Mr. McLeod is navigating profound challenges and should focus on his mental and emotional well-being instead of a campaign for governor.” At one point, McLeod can be heard saying the n-word in the dash camera footage.

McLeod has branded his arrest as “unlawful” and defended his actions, saying, “The only thing I’d ask the voters is to please give me a little bit of grace and know that long before we go to election day, they’ll know exactly what happened.” He added that his arrest was a violation of his “God-given, constitutional right to be in a public place.”

McLeod is currently facing misdemeanor charges for disorderly conduct.

Mamdani Pledges to Protect Illegals at Staten Island Rally.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee, held an anti-Trump campaign event in Staten Island as part of his “Five Boroughs Against Trump” tour.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Zohran Mamdani, Staten Island District Leader Jasmine Robinson, and Staten Island Democratic Association President Ali Ansari.

📍WHEN & WHERE: August 13 at the Istanbul Bay Authentic Mediterranean Restaurant in Staten Island.

💬KEY QUOTE: “As we gather here on an island, where nearly 1 in 4 were born outside of this country, an island where 30 percent of its residents speak a language other than English, it’s an island that we know is not immune from this horrific crackdown,” Mamdani said of Trump’s deportation drive.

🎯IMPACT: Mamdani is setting himself up to turn America’s largest city into an anti-Trump stronghold should he claim the mayoralty.

IN FULL

Foreign-born Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani took his outspoken opposition to President Donald J. Trump’s immigration policies to Staten Island on Wednesday, continuing his citywide “Five Boroughs Against Trump” tour. The event was hosted at Istanbul Bay Authentic Mediterranean Restaurant, where Mamdani took aim at Trump’s immigration enforcement policies.

“As we gather here on an island where nearly one in four were born outside of this country, an island where 30 percent of its residents speak a language other than English, it’s an island that we know is not immune from this horrific crackdown,” Mamdani told the crowd. “And we know that it has nothing to do with safety. It has to do with punishment.”

A central pillar of Mamdani’s campaign has been shielding illegal immigrants from the law and confronting federal immigration efforts head-on. According to the Ugandan immigrant’s campaign platform, his policy proposals include removing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from all municipal properties and bolstering sanctuary protections across New York City.

Mamdani’s defiance of Trump’s immigration stance has become a driving force behind his candidacy, which surged following his win in the June Democratic primary. During the primary, the Muslim radical and self-described socialist aligned himself with New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who made headlines after being briefly detained by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents for disrupting an arrest involving a migrant.

Describing his goals for the city, Mamdani has said he envisions a New York that rejects “Donald Trump’s fascism,” and wants to put an end to mass deportations. Mamdani has also stated he is willing to abolish private property and prisons. He has previously called the New York City Police Department (NYPD) “racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety.”

The NYC election is scheduled for November 4. Mamdani will face incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, former New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.

Trump Admin Rejects UN Carbon Tax, Threatens Retaliation.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration announced opposition to a United Nations (UN) proposal to impose a tax on the shipping industry to reduce carbon emissions.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The proposal was approved by a UN committee in April and is set for a vote in October, with potential implementation in 2027.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Whatever its stated goals, the proposed framework is effectively a global carbon tax on Americans levied by an unaccountable UN organization.” – Trump administration statement

🎯IMPACT: The administration argues this proposal will increase costs for American consumers, energy providers, and shipping companies, and threatened retaliation against nations supporting the amendment.

IN FULL

The Trump administration has moved to oppose a United Nations (UN) proposal to impose a carbon emissions tax on the shipping industry, labeling it a “global carbon tax on Americans.” The proposal, known as the “Net-Zero Framework,” was approved by a committee of the UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO) in April and is set for a vote in October. If implemented, it would go into effect in 2027.

The framework seeks to set new carbon emission standards for ships and introduce a global pricing mechanism for emissions. Ships exceeding the thresholds would face punitive fees, while those within the standards would receive financial incentives. The Trump administration has argued that this plan would raise costs for American consumers and businesses. “These fees will drive up energy and transportation and leisure cruise costs,” the administration’s statement warns.

In a joint statement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said the U.S. “unequivocally rejects this proposal” and will not accept any measures that increase costs for American citizens or businesses. The statement also warned that the U.S. would “not hesitate to retaliate or explore remedies” if the proposal is passed.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick criticized the framework in a separate statement, saying, “America is setting the terms on how our products are going to market. We have every right to refuse their ‘net-zero framework,’ which would be a tax on every shipment of American goods.” He added, “International bureaucrats can take their [woke] climate nonsense elsewhere.”

The Trump administration’s move to oppose the UN proposal aligns with its broader strategy to reduce foreign influence over American energy policy and deregulate the energy sector. Notably, President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accords on his first day in office.

Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working to roll back Barack Obama-era climate regulations, which could save American businesses and families an estimated $1 trillion in hidden costs, according to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

Anti-Trump Lunatic Shoots Veteran in Wheelchair.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: An anti-Trump agitator is accused of shooting a wheelchair-bound man in the chest in Seattle, Washington, over an allegation of “stolen valor.” The gunman was previously arrested and charged in 2020 with criminal mischief, a second-degree misdemeanor, after he drove a vehicle into a Republican Party voter registration tent.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Suspect Gregory William Timm, the 68-year-old wheelchair bound victim, and Seattle prosecutors.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The shooting took place on July 31, with Timm appearing in court this month.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The only reason this administration was getting away with these atrocious crimes is because we were rolling over and taking it.” — anti-Trump gunman Gregory William Timm

🎯IMPACT: The 68-year-old man, who survived the gunshot, says he was reaching to retrieve his military ID when Timm fired on him. Local news reports indicate the victim does appear to be a veteran.

IN FULL

An anti-Trump agitator is accused of shooting a wheelchair-bound man in the chest in Seattle, Washington, over an allegation of “stolen valor.” Gregory William Timm, 32, claimed the victim was pretending to be a veteran and confronted the 68-year-old wheelchair bound man on the busy Alaskan Way boardwalk on July 31.

Prosecutors allege Timm proceeded to rip a military patch off the victim, resulting in the victim producing a knife and an airsoft gun to defend himself. Subsequently, stepping back several feet, Timm pulled out a handgun and fired a shot into the victim’s chest while demanding to see his ID. The 68-year-old man, who survived the gunshot, says he was reaching to retrieve his military ID when Timm fired on him. Local media reports indicate he is indeed a veteran.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT


The July 31 shooting is not Timm’s first run-in with the law. In 2020, he was arrested and charged with criminal mischief, a second-degree misdemeanor, after he drove a vehicle into a Republican Party voter registration tent at the Kernan Village Shopping Center in Jacksonville, Florida.

While he initially fled the scene, local police were able to apprehend him, with Timm defending his actions, stating that the attack was his “duty” and that he “did not like President Trump.”

“The only reason this administration was getting away with these atrocious crimes is because we were rolling over and taking it,” Timm later said during a court appearance regarding the vehicle attack. President Trump personally responded to the attack at the time, writing on X (formerly Twitter): “Be careful tough guys who you play with!”

While attorneys for Timm say his actions in Seattle last month were in self-defense, prosecutors have stated, “If you’re the one who’s the first aggressor who provokes an altercation, you lose the right to claim self-defense effectively under state law.” They cite Timm’s action of ripping off the victim’s military patch as having initiated the assault.

Court Considers Trump’s Unique Lawsuit Against Federal Judges.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: A federal judge will review a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration against all 15 Maryland-based federal judges over a standing order related to deportation cases.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Trump administration, Chief Judge George Russell, U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Paul Clement, a legal counsel to the judges.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The hearing is scheduled for Wednesday at the Baltimore federal courthouse.

🎯IMPACT: The case could set a precedent regarding judicial authority over immigration-related executive actions.

IN FULL

A federal judge in Baltimore will review a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration against all 15 Maryland-based federal judges over a standing order related to deportation cases. This lawsuit marks a significant escalation in the administration’s disputes with the judiciary over immigration matters.

The standing order, issued by Chief Judge George Russell on May 21 and later updated, temporarily halts deportations when illegal immigrants file habeas corpus petitions in Maryland federal courts. This halt lasts roughly two days, allowing the court to review the claims. The Trump administration argues that this order exceeds Russell’s authority and infringes on the federal government’s sovereignty.

The Department of Justice (DOJ), led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, contends that the order “harms the federal government’s sovereign interests on a repeated and ongoing basis.” According to the DOJ, the court lacks jurisdiction to enact such a measure.

In response, the judges have retained a legal team that includes Paul Clement, a former solicitor general under President George W. Bush. Clement’s team argues that the lawsuit undermines the separation of powers and that the standing order is an administrative tool to ensure the judiciary can fulfill its constitutional obligations.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen, appointed by President Trump in 2020, will preside over the hearing.

Trump State Department Slams South Africa for ‘Extrajudicial Killings’ of White Farmers.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: The U.S. State Department reported a significant worsening of human rights in South Africa, highlighting extrajudicial killings and repression of the white minority.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The U.S. State Department, the South African government, Afrikaners, and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The report was released Tuesday, referencing events in South Africa over the last several years.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This act could enable the government to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation.” – U.S. State Department Report, referring to legislation authorizing land expropriation without compensation.

🎯IMPACT: The findings raise international scrutiny over South Africa’s government policies and the treatment of Afrikaner farmers.

IN FULL

The U.S. State Department’s annual human rights report has highlighted a significant deterioration in conditions within South Africa, particularly focusing on extrajudicial killings and the repression of racial minorities, including white Afrikaner farmers. The findings were released as part of the 2025 report on Tuesday.

The report cited instances where South African police were involved in shootings resulting in the deaths of suspects. For example, in April, at least 40 criminal suspects were killed in shootouts, and in September, six suspects wanted for homicide and extortion were shot by Durban police. Watchdog groups have pointed to deaths in custody often stemming from abuse, neglect, or lack of medical care.

Additionally, the report highlighted the ongoing violence against Afrikaner farmers, referencing data from Agence France-Presse that recorded 447 murders on farms and smallholdings between October 2023 and September 2024. It criticized the extremist political party Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) for inciting attacks on Afrikaner farmers, including the revival of the controversial song “Kill the Boer [Farmer]” at rallies.

The Expropriation Bill of 2024 was also criticized, as it allows the government to seize land without compensation. The report warned that such measures could disproportionately target Afrikaner farmers, exacerbating violence and dismantling opportunities in employment, education, and business for the ethnic minority.

President Donald J. Trump, who met with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in May, has been outspoken on the issue, saying that white Afrikaner farmers are being targeted and forced off their land.

Smithsonian Begins Review to Replace Woke Ideology With Americanism.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: The White House has initiated a comprehensive review of Smithsonian exhibitions to ensure alignment with the President’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism and remove divisive, woke narratives.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Key signatories include Lindsey Halligan, Vince Haley, and Russell Vought, representing the White House Domestic Policy Council and Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The directive was communicated via a letter addressed to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III, with implementation timelines spanning the next 120 days.

💬KEY QUOTE: “By focusing on Americanism—the people, principles, and progress that define our nation—we can work together to renew the Smithsonian’s role as the world’s leading museum institution.” — Trump White House

🎯IMPACT: The review aims to restore public confidence in the Smithsonian’s role as a trusted institution and align its exhibitions with the values of unity and American progress.

IN FULL

The Trump White House has announced a comprehensive internal review of selected Smithsonian museums and exhibitions, aiming to ensure alignment with Executive Order 14253, titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” This directive seeks to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive narratives, and restore confidence in the Smithsonian as a trusted cultural institution.

The letter, addressed to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III, outlined a detailed plan for the review process. “As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Nation’s founding, it is more important than ever that our national museums reflect the unity, progress, and enduring values that define the American story,” the letter states, emphasizing that the review will focus on public-facing content, curatorial processes, exhibition planning, narrative standards, and the use of collections.

The process will begin with museums submitting requested materials, including exhibition plans, educational content, and internal guidelines, within 30 days. On-site visits and interviews with curators and senior staff will follow, aiming to better understand the goals driving current and future exhibitions. The review will also evaluate 250th Anniversary programming and ensure coordination with the White House Salute to America 250 Task Force.

By the 120-day mark, museums are expected to implement necessary content corrections, replacing divisive or ideologically driven woke language with unifying and historically accurate descriptions. A final report, including museum-specific assessments and recommendations, is expected to be completed by early 2026.

“We view this process as a collaborative and forward-looking opportunity—one that empowers museum staff to embrace a revitalized curatorial vision rooted in the strength, breadth, and achievements of the American story,” the Trump White House letter says, adding: “By focusing on Americanism—the people, principles, and progress that define our nation—we can work together to renew the Smithsonian’s role as the world’s leading museum institution.”

Texas AG Ken Paxton Seeks Contempt Charge Against Beto for Funding Runaway Dems.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) announced legal action to hold former Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D) in contempt for alleged unlawful fundraising activities.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, and O’Rourke’s organization, Powered by People.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The contempt action was announced on August 12, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Beto told me ‘to come and take,’ so I did and beat him in court. Now, he still thinks he’s above the law, so I’m working to put him behind bars.” – Ken Paxton

🎯IMPACT: The restraining order halts O’Rourke’s fundraising efforts for Democrat lawmakers who fled Texas to deny the state legislature a quorum, and Paxton is pursuing further legal consequences.

IN FULL

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has announced his office is taking legal action against former Democratic Congressman and perennial failed candidate Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke, accusing him of violating a temporary restraining order that prohibits fundraising for Democrats who fled the state during the legislature’s special session for redistricting to deny it a quorum. Paxton declared that O’Rourke’s actions constitute a contemptuous and “blatant violation” of the court order.

The restraining order, granted by a Tarrant County District Judge on Friday, came after Paxton sued O’Rourke and his organization, Powered by People. The lawsuit alleges that O’Rourke engaged in a “misleading financial-influence scheme” to support Democrat legislators who broke quorum in protest of Republican redistricting efforts. The judge’s order blocked O’Rourke and Powered by People from further fundraising activities.

In a statement, Paxton remarked, “Robert Francis [O’Rourke] flagrantly and knowingly violated the court order I secured that prevents him from raising funds and distributing any more Beto Bribes. He’s about to find out that running your mouth and ignoring the rule of law has consequences in Texas. It’s time to lock him up.”

O’Rourke, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019 and in former President Joe Biden’s cabinet, has become a well-known figure in Texas politics, mostly due to a series of humiliating statewide election defeats. He lost a challenge against Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in 2018 and Republican Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) in 2022 and also failed in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.

Paxton emphasized the significance of the legal action in a post on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “I just defeated Beto O’Rourke in court. We secured a major victory stopping runaway Democrats from taking ‘Beto Bribes’ and preventing deceptive fundraising.”

Supreme Court Could Decide Fate of Fugitive Texas Democrats.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: The Texas House of Representatives has filed lawsuits in Illinois and California courts to domesticate civil arrest warrants for House Democrats who fled the state to block a vote on redistricting. Should the two states reject the warrants, the matter could find its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Texas House Democrats, Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R), Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D), and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D).

📍WHEN & WHERE: Lawsuits were filed recently in Illinois and California after Democrats fled Texas during a special session.

🎯IMPACT: If Illinois and California courts refuse to enforce the warrants, the matter could escalate to the U.S. Supreme Court.

IN FULL

The Texas House of Representatives has filed arrest warrants for 56 Texas Democrat lawmakers currently hiding in Illinois and California. They left the state to prevent voting on a redistricting plan during a special session. Each of the lawsuits asks courts in Democrat-controlled California and Illinois to domesticate warrants under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution, enabling the absent lawmakers to be detained and returned to Texas.

However, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) has already declared that his state will not comply, insisting that Illinois is not obligated to honor the warrants unless a federal crime has been committed. He stated, “There is literally no federal law applicable to this situation. None.” It is suspected that California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will likewise ignore the warrants.

The situation could set up a major showdown before the U.S. Supreme Court if Illinois and California continue to refuse to enforce the Texas warrants. Notably, the U.S. Constitution’s Full Faith and Credit Clause mandates states to recognize and enforce public acts and judicial proceedings from other states. Compounding the situation is the reported involvement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in tracking down and possibly arresting the missing Texas Democrats—a factor that could expedite any federal court challenge.

The lawsuits argue that Illinois and California must treat Texas’s Quorum Warrants as their own civil orders. They cite federal statute 28 U.S.C. § 1738, which codifies the Full Faith and Credit Clause and the Judicial Comity doctrine. Precedent from a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Full Faith and Credit Clause supports Texas’s position, requiring state courts to enforce judgments from other states.

Courts in Illinois and California have yet to schedule hearings on the matter.

Whistleblower: Schiff Leaked Classified Info in Anti-Trump Russia Hoax Effort.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Newly declassified Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) documents reveal whistleblower allegations that Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) directed the leaking of classified documents to target President Donald J. Trump and influence public opinion by perpetuating the Russia collusion hoax.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Adam Schiff, President Donald Trump, whistleblowers, and members of the House Intelligence Committee, including Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The allegations stem from events beginning after Trump’s 2016 election victory, with interviews conducted by the FBI in 2017 and documents declassified in August 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States Donald J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP,” the FBI memo said.

🎯IMPACT: The allegations raise questions about the weaponization of intelligence and law enforcement for political purposes, with Congress now reviewing the declassified documents.

IN FULL

Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), while serving in the House of Representatives in 2016, directed the leaking of classified documents aimed at fomenting the Russia collusion hoax targeting President Donald J. Trump, according to whistleblower claims in newly declassified Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) documents. Currently being reviewed by Congress, the documents contain testimony from a whistleblower who worked for the Democrat members of the House Intelligence Committee. The whistleblower told the FBI that Schiff initiated the leaking of classified documents in a meeting after Trump’s election in 2016.

The whistleblower claims Schiff’s intention was to use selective leaks of classified documents to drive the Russia collusion narrative and hurt Trump. “In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States Donald J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP,” the FBI memo said. “[Redacted] stated this would be illegal and, upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured [Redacted] that they would not be caught leaking classified information.”

The whistleblower believed that this leaking would be “unethical,” “illegal,” and “treasonous.” The whistleblower was later “approached about leaking classified information in a separate meeting by unnamed individuals,” the FBI memo states.

The interview documents were declassified by FBI Director Kash Patel. “We found it. We declassified it,” Patel posted on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “Now Congress can see how classified info was leaked to shape political narratives—and decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American people.”

Concerningly, the whistleblower told the FBI that Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence believed that they could end the Trump presidency with selective classified document leaks to the media. “Schiff believed Russia hijacked the election, and the United States was in the middle of a constitutional crisis. Classified information began leaking to the media. The Democratic minority leadership of HPSCI was aware of the leaks but was under the impression that leaking the information was one way to topple the administration and fix the constitutional crisis,” the whistleblower stated.
