Border Agents Now Get to Pick Their Preferred Pronouns!

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced a policy update introducing a wide range of pronouns for employees’ official online profiles. A CBP source says the woke initiative forms part of a broader drive by the Biden-Harris government for so-called social justice at a time when the CBP’s core task of border security is faltering.

“We couldn’t care less whether the agency implements a function to allow employees to list a myriad of pronouns on their official profile if we have not worked to secure the border,” said the source, speaking anonymously for fear of retaliation.

“This comes while we are still releasing thousands daily under CBP One, parole programs at airports, and to NGO shelters at the border. These social justice moves only serve to sink morale further,” they added.

Source: U.S. Customs and Border Protection via Breitbart.

CBP employees can reportedly enter a combination of up to 60 characters to describe their pronouns. There are a range of boutique gender identities beyond the standard he/him/himself, she/her/herself, and they/them/themself for the allegedly “non-binary.”

The LGBTQIA Resource Center at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) lists multiple neopronouns, including co/cos/coself, for people who claim to be multiple genders, and em/eir/emself, which is one of many alternative non-binary pronouns.

The White House began asking for pronouns on its online contact form shortly after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were inaugurated, but provides for less customization than CBP, offering only he/him, she/her, they/them, and ‘Other,’ alongside a ‘Prefer not to share’ option.

Vice President Harris is a committed gender ideologue, introducing publicly-funded gender surgeries for prisoners in California and committing to rolling them out for criminals and illegal aliens in government detention nationwide if she becomes President.

California Dems Give Preferential Treatment to ‘LGBTQ’ Businesses for Contracts.

California’s Supplier Diversity Program has come under scrutiny for its preferential treatment of LGBTQ-owned businesses in utility contracts.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: California’s Supplier Diversity Program has been giving preferential treatment to LGBTQ-owned businesses in utility contracts.
📺 DETAIL: California’s Supplier Diversity Program, which is managed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), began in 1988 to promote minority- and women-owned businesses. The program was expanded in 2014 by then-Governor Jerry Brown (D) to include “LGBTQ” firms. Under incumbent Governor Gavin Newsom (D), additional energy sector companies were encouraged to participate. In 2022, CPUC announced a target of allocating 1.5 percent (approximately $633 million) “for the inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) certified businesses in competitive contracting process with California-based utilities,” starting with a 0.5 percent procurement goal in 2022. However, critics argue this may violate the spirit of Proposition 209. The Proposition, which was passed in 1996, bans preferential treatment based on racial, sexual, and ethnic characteristics, among other traits, in both contracting and public employment. These findings were published by City Journal on Tuesday.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “If I was a straight, white male, I might be concerned I don’t have the same opportunity. It worked out great for me.” – Mary Ann Horton, a transgender cybersecurity business owner and recipient of utility contracts under the program
🎯 IMPACT: The findings and the program’s expansion raise concerns about fairness and legality, particularly as California voters upheld Proposition 209 in 2020. The decision by the Democrat-run state of California to grant preferential treatment is likely to spark backlash from businesses, especially smaller providers, that might otherwise benefit from contracting but have been effectively prevented from doing so. The decision to spend billions in this way is likely to raise concerns among those who see it as contrary to the Proposition’s intent.
📺 FLASHBACK: This is far from the only set of questionable targets pursued by California Democrats. In 2023, Governor Newsom signed a bill into law requiring all K-12 schools in the state to have gender-neutral bathrooms by July 2026.

DOJ Joins Case Against Housing ‘Reparations’ Program: ‘Race Discrimination, Pure and Simple.’

The Department of Justice has joined a lawsuit against the city of Evanston, Illinois, alleging its housing “reparations” program violates federal anti-discrimination laws.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has joined a lawsuit against the city of Evanston in Illinois over its housing “reparations” program.
📺 DETAIL: The DOJ claims that Evanston’s housing program violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Fair Housing Act. The reparations program, which was launched in 2021, provides payments and housing assistance exclusively to Evanston residents with “origins in any of the Black racial and ethnic groups of Africa” and their descendants who lived in the city during specific historical periods. The lawsuit alleges that the program distributed over $3.5 million, with funds directed toward home improvement, down payments, mortgage assistance, and direct, reportedly tax-exempt cash benefits for black residents. Specifically, the program offers “unrestricted cash payments and financial assistance for purchasing, constructing, improving, repairing, or maintaining housing in the City, exclusively to current or former black residents who lived in the City as adults between 1919 and 1969, and to their children, grand-children, and great-grand-children.” The program is also described as aiming to “build wealth” among black residents. Critics have argued that the program is unconstitutional, as it bases eligibility solely on race, sparking warnings from legal experts and commentators. The Equal Protection Clause mandates that states must govern without drawing distinctions based on race or other protected classifications, while the Fair Housing Act prohibits racial discrimination in housing-related activities, including renting, buying, appraising, and financing. “Under the pretext of paying reparations for events more than 100 years ago, the City of Evanston has chosen to distribute millions of dollars in cash and housing benefits to people because of the color of their skin or the color of the skin of their parents, grandparents, or great grandparents,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division in a statement on Tuesday.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “There are sound ways for a city to remedy past discrimination or direct resources to its most vulnerable citizens and neighborhoods… Simply handing out money based on race… is race discrimination, pure and simple. And it is illegal.” – Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General.
🎯 IMPACT: The lawsuit could set a precedent across the country. If Evanston’s reparations program is deemed unconstitutional, the lawsuit could potentially lead to the dismantling of such programs nationwide. The DOJ’s involvement in the lawsuit reflects a trend of the Trump administration tackling discriminatory housing programs and policies. In December last year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) launched a civil rights investigation into Boston’s housing policies unlawfully favoring black, Latino, and other ethnic minority residents.

Brazil’s Politicized Supreme Court Convicts Bolsonaro’s Son for Asking U.S. to Help His Father.

Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, has been sentenced to over four years in prison for so-called coercion after lobbying the U.S. to help his father.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Brazil‘s Supreme Court has convicted Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, for “coercion” in connection with his father’s trial for an alleged coup attempt. Eduardo was sentenced to four years and two months in prison for lobbying the U.S. government to pressure Brazilian officials to halt the trial.
📰 DETAIL: Eduardo Bolsonaro has been residing in Texas since February 2025 and has not commented on the court’s decision. Jair Bolsonaro, 71, is currently serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup following his 2022 election loss to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, which took place after Bolsonaro’s attempts to replace voting machines with traditional paper ballots was blocked. Eduardo denied wrongdoing, saying his efforts in the U.S. were intended to challenge unconstitutional actions by Brazilian officials rather than influence his father’s legal proceedings. The conviction follows a 2025 court order freezing Eduardo’s assets amid allegations that funds from his father were used to support lobbying activities in Washington. Eduardo said he was not properly notified of the legal process leading to his conviction. Jair Bolsonaro, who served as president from 2019 to 2022, was temporarily moved to house arrest earlier this year because of health issues linked to a 2018 stabbing attack and a recent bout of pneumonia.
💬 KEY QUOTE: Controversial Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes accused the younger Bolsonaro of “lobby[ing] overseas against his own country.”
🎯 IMPACT: Eduardo’s brother, Flávio Bolsonaro, is expected to challenge President Lula in Brazil’s upcoming elections in October.

Labour is Rigging Mayoral Voting Rules to Try to Stop Farage’s Reform Party.

Britain’s governing Labour Party is making sudden changes to the mayoral voting system in an attempt to stop Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party from winning a possible contest in Greater Manchester.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Britain’s governing Labour Party has expedited changes to the voting system for regional mayors, switching from first-past-the-post to the supplementary vote (SV) systemexpected to benefit the leftist party in a potential Greater Manchester mayoral election.
📰 DETAIL: Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is standing for election in the Makerfield parliamentary by-election (special election) and will be forced to vacate his current post if he wins and enters Parliament, triggering a mayoral election. Local Government Minister Baroness Taylor insists the government has long supported supplementary voting for executive positions, but critics argue the timing of the planned change, with Reform strongly positioned to oust Labour under the current rules, is highly suspect. Taylor acknowledged a mayoral by-election could be required in Greater Manchester in the coming months and stressed the changes would be implemented at the earliest opportunity. A Greater Manchester mayoral by-election could cost nearly $6.8 million, though it would only be triggered if Burnham wins Makerfield, where polls suggest a close race between Labour and Reform.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This order is an attempt to prevent Reform winning the possible Greater Manchester mayoralty by-election,” said Lord Hayward, a Conservative Party member of the House of Lords and pollster.
🎯 IMPACT: The change could facilitate a coalition of left-leaning party supporters keeping out a Reform candidate by denying victory to the party with the most votes. The move has sparked accusations of electoral manipulation to secure Labour’s power in the region.
👀 FLASHBACK: The SV system was initially used for mayoral elections when first introduced in 2000 under former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, but was replaced by first-past-the-post in 2021 by former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Trump Admin Offers Iran Oil Waivers, $300 Billion Framework in Peace Deal.

The Trump administration has disclosed the terms of a new memorandum of understanding with Iran, including immediate oil export waivers and a $300 billion economic framework.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration has outlined a memorandum of understanding with Iran, which includes immediate waivers on Iranian oil exports and a framework for $300 billion in reconstruction and economic development. The agreement also sets a 60-day negotiation period to finalize terms on Iran’s nuclear program.
📰 DETAIL: The 14-point memorandum, shared with the press on Tuesday, allows Iranian crude oil exports to resume immediately, with the U.S. Treasury issuing waivers. The agreement also proposes a $300 billion plan for Iran’s economic development, contingent on a final deal and Iranian compliance, although the administration insists the U.S. does not have to invest in it. Notably, the memorandum does not resolve the nuclear issue, but commits to negotiating Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and future nuclear activities.
🎯 IMPACT: The immediate oil export waivers are intended to reduce global energy prices. However, broader sanctions relief is tied to Iran’s future compliance with nuclear commitments, addressing concerns over economic benefits without concessions. President Donald J. Trump argues that terms such as the $300 billion investment framework do not constitute major concession to Iran, stating, at the G7 in France, “Were not putting up money. Only if they’re doing things right. If they’re doing things right, if people want to invest, they can invest… remember this also, when you talk about ‘billions of dollars,’ they’ve had much more than a trillion dollars worth of damage done.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The U.S. Department of Treasury will issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products and derivatives and all associated services including banking transactions, insurances, transportation, etc,” the agreement reportedly states.

U.S. Retail Sales Beat Expectations in May, Here’s Why:

U.S. retail sales exceeded expectations in May, driven partly by higher spending at gas stations.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. retail sales rose by 0.9 percent in May, reaching $763.7 billion, surpassing the 0.5 percent increase anticipated by economists. This growth was largely driven by higher spending at gas stations amid elevated energy costs. However, core retail sales, which exclude autos, gasoline, building materials, and food services, also rose 0.7 percent, suggesting solid consumer demand and supporting expectations for stronger second-quarter economic growth.
📰 DETAIL: Sales in April were revised down to a 0.4 percent gain, while year-over-year retail sales increased 6.9 percent. Higher fuel costs contributed to the increase, with service station sales climbing 3.4 percent in May and 26.5 percent from a year earlier, though gasoline prices have since eased following the announcement of an imminent agreement between the U.S. and Iran to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The report adds to the evidence of resilience in the U.S. economy, alongside recent job growth data. Notably, consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, appears to be accelerating after slowing in the first quarter, with the Atlanta Fed forecasting 2.8 percent annualized growth in the second quarter. However, analysts caution that the recent spending surge may fade as the boost from larger tax refunds diminishes and inflation continues to outpace wage growth.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The strength of ​May’s retail sales report and the acceleration from April’s spending pace will raise more yellow flags at the Fed as it tries ⁠to tamp down consumer inflation pressures.” – Scott Anderson, chief U.S. economist at BMO Capital Markets.
🎯 IMPACT: The robust retail sales figures suggest that American consumers are not dramatically curbing spending despite rising prices, mitigating recession fears. However, sustained demand could complicate the Federal Reserve’s efforts to lower interest rates, which is a longstanding demand of President Donald J. Trump.

Court Upholds Conviction of Judge for Obstructing ICE.

A federal judge has ruled to uphold the conviction of former Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan for obstructing immigration enforcement, rejecting arguments to overturn it.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The conviction of former Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan has been upheld after she obstructed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
📺 DETAIL: The decision to uphold Dugan’s conviction was announced on Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman. The former Milwaukee County Circuit Judge had previously been found guilty of obstruction of justice after helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal immigrant, evade ICE agents during a court appearance. The incident occurred in April last year when Dugan turned away ICE agents with a warrant to the chief judge’s office, falsely claiming the warrant was insufficient. She then led Flores-Ruiz out a private door. After a brief chase, Flores-Ruiz was apprehended by ICE and deported in November of the same year. Dugan’s sentencing was delayed to consider arguments for overturning her conviction. “The court’s decision is wrong,” claimed Dugan’s defense team at the time, arguing that her actions did not constitute obstruction as the ICE operation was not a “proceeding” as defined under federal law. However, the argument was ultimately rejected, with the judge ruling that the ICE operation was a valid proceeding, meaning Dugan’s actions constituted an obstruction of justice. Following her conviction, Dugan resigned from her post at Milwaukee County Circuit Court.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Defendant argues that ICE was acting as a law enforcement agency here. But this ignores the fact that, unlike, say, the FBI, ICE can issue its own warrants and adjudicate and effectuate a removal, as it did with Flores-Ruiz, without the involvement of a court. This makes a difference,” wrote U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman.
🎯 IMPACT: The 67-year-old Dugan faces up to five years in prison. However, she is expected to receive probation under federal guidelines for non-violent offenders. This is the first time that a Wisconsin state judge has faced trial for obstructing immigration law enforcement agents. While she was convicted for obstruction of justice, Dugan was acquitted of a related misdemeanor charge of concealing an individual to prevent arrest.
📺 FLASHBACK: The conviction of Dugan was first reported in December last year. Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, the illegal immigrant whom Dugan aided to avoid ICE, was a violent criminal from Mexico. Flores-Ruiz was previously deported in 2013 and accused of multiple assaults in March 2025. “This case is serious for all involved, it is ultimately about a single day, a single bad day, in a public courthouse,” said U.S. Attorney Brad Schimel at the time. This story is similar to one from Logan, Utah, reported earlier this month, in which two court clerks allegedly helped an illegal immigrant evade ICE

BBC ‘Planted’ Boat Migrants to Attack Farage’s Reform Party on Flagship Debate Show.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has come under fire after allowing a pro-migration charity to coach asylum seekers with prewritten statements to attack Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf during Question Time, the BBC’s flagship debate show.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) conspired with a pro-migration charity to give prepared statements to boat migrants to confront Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf on Question Time, the BBC’s flagship debate show, in December.
📰 DETAIL: In an episode of Question Time, filmed on December 5, 2025, two asylum seekers confronted Zia Yusuf, Reform UK’s Shadow Home Secretary, with prepared statements. The incident sparked over 1,000 complaints from viewers. On Wednesday, it was revealed that these asylum seekers were arranged, coached, and placed by a pro-migration charity, IMIX. Jenni Regan, the charity’s CEO, also participated in the show. The BBC defended its approach, claiming it sought diverse perspectives. Yusuf accused the BBC of ideological and political bias. This follows reports that pro-migration charities have been used by the BBC to shape its media content and promote pro-migration narratives, including in children’s programming and popular TV shows. One of the prepared statements criticized Reform UK’s policy to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which is regularly used by pro-migration charities to block the deportations of violent criminals and illegal immigrants.
💬 KEY QUOTE:The BBC is morally bankrupt. To deliberately plant men who broke into Britain illegally in the audience, allow them to be told what to say and let them launch into attacks on Reform and lecture the British people is disgusting behaviour.” – Zia Yusuf, Shadow Home Secretary for Reform UK
🎯 IMPACT: The incident has intensified scrutiny of the BBC, with accusations of bias and manipulation of public opinion on immigration, despite its legal obligation to remain impartial. Notably, everyone in Britain who watches live programming is required to fund the BBC via a license fee or face criminal fines backed by the threat of imprisonment, even if none of the content they watch is from the BBC. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Yusuf demanded an apology. “One of these men who broke into the country began reading a statement warning against Britain leaving the ECHR, even featuring the Northern Ireland protocol! One of them specifically attacked me and my family… To conceal it is even more outrageous. They should apologise immediately.” 

👀 FLASHBACK: This is not the first time this month the BBC has been accused of bias. On Newsnight, the BBC’s flagship current affairs show, a presenter recently claimed that Nigel Farage had called for “white cold rage” in response to the murder of white teenager Henry Nowak and his mistreatment by police officers, when in reality, the Reform leader had used the phrase “pure cold rage.” The BBC has since apologized to Farage. The Question Time revelations coincide with research that shows that global trust in the news has fallen to a record low. According to the latest Reuters Institute Digital News Report, only 37 percent of people trust the news, marking the lowest level since the study began. In the United Kingdom specifically, trust in the news dropped five percentage points over the past year to 30 percent, down 20 points from a decade ago. Researchers identified that audiences were frustrated with mainstream news coverage of immigration, among other matters.

British Public Views Social Media as More Harmful Than Beneficial.

A new survey from YouGov has revealed that British citizens have strong concerns over social media’s impact on children, adults, and society at large.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Just under half of British people think the negatives of social media outweigh the positives, according to a new survey.
📺 DETAIL: According to British polling firm YouGov, 43 percent of Britons believe the negatives of social media outweigh its positives. By contrast, only 22 percent believe that the positives of social media outweigh the negatives. While 81 percent of Britons believe that social media negatively affects children under 16, and 49 percent believe it is very negative for children, when asked about fully grown adults, the number describing social media as very negative drops to only nine percent. Also, when asked about “the average person,” 32 percent of respondents said the impact of social media use is neither positive nor negative, while 21 percent see it as positive. Eighteen percent of British adults think that the drawbacks of social media “greatly” outweigh the benefits. Moreover, 57 percent of Britons hold a negative view of social media companies. Despite these concerns, 90 percent of Britons use social media, although 46 percent want to use it less. Furthermore, 64 percent of respondents believe social media is not inherently harmful when used responsibly, while 28 percent believe it is inherently harmful regardless of use. The data was published on Wednesday, following the British government’s announcement earlier this week of a social media ban for children under 16.
🎯 IMPACT: The survey underscores growing public frustration with social media companies. Such findings are likely to be weaponized by the British government, which announced a ban on social media for children under 16 earlier this week. Significantly, the ban will require adults to upload ID to prove that they are old enough to use social media, curbing online anonymity and privacy, ostensibly to protect children from cyberbullying, endangerment, and mental health problems.

💬 KEY QUOTE: “While Britons overwhelmingly think social media has had a negative impact on children, the public are much more divided when it comes to adults.” – YouGov

📺 FLASHBACK: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced the under-16s social media ban on Monday. Platforms like X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube will need to implement age-verification systems, such as facial recognition and ID checks, but messaging apps and educational platforms, including WhatsApp and Google Classroom, are excluded. “A full ban is the right choice… I am not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children,” said Starmer in a press conference. Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage has argued that, while the ban is “well-intentioned,” it is “unlikely to work given the mass adoption of VPNs,” while cautioning against “the introduction of Digital ID via the back door.”

Victim of Attempted Beheading That Sparked Riots Wakes from Coma.

The victim of an attempted beheading in Belfast, Northern Ireland, has woken from his coma, following widespread protests, including riots, across the city and parts of the wider United Kingdom.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Stephen Ogilvie, the victim of an attempted beheading that sparked riots in Belfast, Northern Ireland, has revived from his coma, but he may remain blinded, according to his family.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “We are relieved to share that Stephen is now out of his induced coma and continuing his recovery, although he still faces significant challenges ahead… With the loss of sight in his left eye and the possibility of losing sight in his right eye, your generosity will make a real difference to his future quality of life,” Ogilvie’s family shared via their GoFundMe page.
🎯 IMPACT: The update from Ogilvie’s family represents the most recent and reliable update on his condition since he was attacked, allegedy by a Sudanese migrant who entered the country illegally, earlier this month. Whether or not he remains blinded—reports indicate that one of his eyes was lost entirely in the attack—Ogilvie will have to grapple with life-altering injuries. The incident is widely regarded as having been an avoidable tragedy, caused by the United Kingdom’s lax asylum and immigration policies. Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage has previously suggested that social unrest may worsen if urgent policy changes are not made to prevent similar atrocities.
📺 DETAIL: Stephen Ogilvie, 44, suffered severe injuries to his neck, back, and face, including his eyes, after a Sudanese refugee allegedly attempted to behead him in the middle of Belfast, the capital city of Northern Ireland, earlier this month. Ogilvie’s family confirmed that he had woken from his coma on Wednesday. The alleged assailant, 30-year-old Hadi Alodid, is reported to have traveled from Sudan to Paris, France, and then on to Dublin, Ireland, before taking a bus across the European Union member state’s open border with Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. Alodid was granted a visa soon after arriving in the United Kingdom in 2023, according to the Home Office, despite passing through multiple safe countries on his way to claim asylum. Ogilvie’s attempted beheading sparked days of protest in Belfast and parts of the wider United Kingdom, with houses believed to belong to migrants set on fire.
