Major London Train Station Displays ‘Hadiths of the Day’ Throughout Ramadan.

King’s Cross, one of the busiest and most important railway stations in Sadiq Khan’s London, has been displaying ‘Hadiths of the Day’ on its main display throughout the Islamic month of Ramadan.

A picture of a screen on the station’s main concourse, displaying a quote with the text “All the sons of Adam are sinners but the best of the sinners are those who repent often,” has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter).

It is the ninth in a series of similar quotes, however. A ‘Hadith of the Day’ reading, “When Ramadan enters, the gates of Paradise are Opened,” was celebrated by the Islam Channel, among others. This message also urged Muslims who “need support” with their fasting to speak to station staff.

Many X users expressed misgivings about the messages and voiced extreme skepticism that similar Christian messages would be displayed during holidays such as Lent, Easter, and Christmas.

In the most recent national census taken in 2021, the share of London’s population recorded as ‘White British’ had fallen to just 36.8 percent.

Mayor Khan’s office has previously issued guidance suggesting official materials should not feature images of white families, stating they do not represent “real Londoners.”

WATCH: Kassam Announces Investigative Series into Democrat Hoaxster PAC ‘Meidas Touch.’

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam announced an investigative series into the ‘Meidas Touch’ organization that continues to peddle a number of hoaxes against former President Donald J. Trump, including its most recent “bloodbath” hoax.

Kassam, speaking on Steve Bannon’s War Room, explained the group is closely linked to Hollywood leftists and hides much of its Democrat-linked dark money behind its Political Action Committee (PAC) status.

Nonetheless, The National Pulse has already started connecting the dots between major Meidas Touch-world figures, with the first stories dropping on Monday, March 18th.

Big Tobacco Divests from Big Trans.

Altria Group, the owners of Marlboro cigarettes manufacturer Philip Morris USA, are dumping 35 million shares in AB InBev, the owners of Bud Light.

“As good stewards of shareholder capital, we consistently review options to unlock the value of our ABI investment, and we believe this is an opportunistic transaction that realizes a portion of the substantial return on our long-term investment,” said Altria CEO Billy Gifford.

AB InBev’s stock was damaged in 2023, both literally and figuratively, by Bud Light’s partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender activist invited to meet Joe Biden after his ‘Days of Being a Girl’ series on TikTok gained a substantial following.

The debacle led to increased scrutiny of AB InBev’s woke business practices, with footage of employees talking about the need to reduce the number of white and male employees during its #CheerstoDiversityAndInclusion campaign being recirculated.

Despite being dropped by the brand, Mulvaney appeared to emerge relatively unscathed from the debacle and was named to the ‘30 Under 30’ list by Forbes in November.

Alec Baldwin Wants to Get Away With Manslaughter.

Defense attorneys for actor Alec Baldwin have requested a New Mexico judge to dismiss a grand jury indictment against him in connection to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie “Rust.”

Baldwin was indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter in January, to which he has entered a not-guilty plea. The defense has accused prosecutors of bias, stating the grand jury was denied access to exculpatory evidence and not advised of their right and obligation to request such.

Key witnesses, including director Joel Souza, who suffered injuries in the incident, assistant director Dave Halls, and props master Sarah Zachry, were not allowed to testify. The defense team asserts that this unfairly skewed the grand jury’s perception of events. The defense also claims the grand jury received misleading testimony about the revolver in question.

Meanwhile, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the “Rust” set, was recently convicted and awaits sentencing in April. Gutierrez-Reed was found responsible for bringing live ammunition on the set against established rules and is also alleged to have ignored an array of gun safety protocols.

Co-worker Dave Halls was sentenced to six months of unsupervised probation after pleading no contest to negligent handling of a firearm.

Baldwin, who was holding the weapon when the fatal incident occurred, insists he had cocked the gun’s hammer but had not pulled the trigger. The trial is set for July.

WATCH: ‘The Colony Can Fall’ – Century-Old Statue of Queen Victoria Torn Down.

A bronze statue of Queen Victoria has been torn down in Geelong, Australia, in the latest of a series of targeted attacks on British historical monuments in the former colony.

Erected in 1912, the statue of the 19th-century monarch was torn from its plinth in the early hours of Thursday morning. It was then vandalized with red paint, which was also used to deface the plinth, reading ‘Victoria, Queen and Empress, 1837-1901,’ with the words’ THE COLONY CAN FALL.’

The statue was less seriously vandalized earlier in March, being splashed with red paint and daubed with the words ‘THE COLONY WILL FALL.’

The same slogan appeared on a Melbourne statue of Captain James Cook, the British explorer who mapped much of Australia and New Zealand and discovered Hawaii, in January, which was toppled by being broken at the ankles. A second statue of Cook in the city was cut down in February.

Statue of Obese ‘Woman of Color’ to Be Installed in London’s Trafalgar Square.

A statue of an obese “metropolitan woman of color” will be installed in London’s iconic Trafalgar Square, alongside a monument to Admiral Lord Nelson, the Hero of Trafalgar, and statues of King George IV and war heroes General Sir Charles James Napier and Major-General Sir Henry Havelock.

Titled ‘Lady in Blue,’ the sculpture by Harlem-born Tschabalala Self will be placed on the so-called “fourth plinth,” an empty pedestal originally intended to hold an equestrian statue of King William IV, in 2026. It will feature a black female with prominent buttocks wearing platform shoes and a revealing blue dress.

Self says the sculpture “pays homage to a young, metropolitan woman of color who could be just one of many Londoners today.”

It was authorized by the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group, which operates under Mayor Sadiq Khan’s so-called Culture Team.

It will not be permanent, with the city authorities rotating a series of often woke installations on the fourth plinth. ‘Towards an Uncertain Future,’ a shapeless green mass by Romanian sculptor Andra Ursuța, is set to replace it in 2028.

Adobe AI Erases White People, Including America’s Founders.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) image generator Adobe Firefly is producing the same perverse results as Gemini, the suspended Google image generator that regularly refused to depict white people and inserted minorities into historically inappropriate contexts.

An investigation by Semafor found Adobe Firefly produced some of the same inaccurate results as Gemini, rendering Vikings and even “German soldiers in 1945” as black, for example.

The National Pulse found similar issues, with a prompt for “America’s Founding Fathers” resulting in an image of a black woman and a black man, and a prompt for “European People in the Middle Ages” resulting in an image of eight black people in medieval dress. A prompt for “German soldiers in 1945” generated an image as equally historically dubious as the one found by Semafor.

While Semafor suggested that such results result from “technical shortcomings,” the images produced by the now-shuttered Gemini program resulted from deliberate programming.

Requests to create images of white families would be refused, while images to create images of black families were accepted. Similarly, only images of historically white groups, such as Vikings and medieval kings, were rendered as ethnically diverse. Historically black groups, such as Zulu warriors, were rendered accurately.

In Adobe’s case, the company defended Firefly as a tool that “isn’t meant for generating photorealistic depictions of real or historical events,” standing by their “commitment to responsible innovation” and decision to “[train] our AI models on diverse datasets to ensure we’re producing commercially safe results that don’t perpetuate harmful stereotypes.”

LGBTQ+ Adults Double Over 12 Years.

The American adult population identifying as LGBTQ+ has more than doubled in the past decade, according to a recent Gallup poll, with more than 20 percent of Generation Z adults — aged 18 to 23 during the survey — identifying as LGBTQ+.

The results show an increase from 3.5 percent in 2012 to 7.6 percent in 2023. Additionally, it was noted that each new generation of adults is twice as likely to identify as LGBTQ+ when compared to the previous generation.

“Increases in LGBTQ+ identification in recent years have occurred as members of Generation Z and the millennial generation have entered adulthood,” the study noted. “Adults in these younger generations are far more likely than those in older generations to identify as LGBTQ+.”

Gallup’s 2023 data, collected through telephone surveys involving over 12,000 American adults, showed that 85.6 percent of respondents identified as straight, while 7.6 percent aligned themselves with the LGBTQ+ community. Just under seven percent of those surveyed chose not to respond.

In the LGBTQ+ community, bisexual adults constituted the largest segment, accounting for 4.4 percent of U.S. adults. Furthermore, the poll found that women were twice as likely as men to identify as LGBTQ+. However, these statistics do not account for identification within ‘nonbinary’ individuals.

Figures from combined data over the past two years suggest that approximately 80% of nonbinary adults identify as LGBTQ+, evenly split between identifying as bisexual or transgender at one-third each. However, the data points out that transgender individuals make up less than 1 percent of the total American adult population, equating to one in eight LGBTQ+ adults.

These results reflect the trend of an increasing number of American adults aligning themselves with the LGBTQ+ community each year since Gallup began collecting such data.

The staggeringly high percentage of zoomers and millennials identifying as LGBTQ+ follow concerted efforts by activists to promote sexually degenerate behavior among young people.

Musk, Murdoch to Receive Ruth Bader Ginsburg Award in DC!?

Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch are set to receive the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award this year, along with Sylvester Stallone, Martha Stewart, and philanthropist Michael Milken.

The RBG Awards were established in 2020 to honor women in various fields. This year, however, the awards were expanded to include both men and women.

“Justice Ginsburg fought not only for women but for everyone,” said Julie Opperman, chair of the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation, presenters of the award. “Going forward, to embrace the fullness of Justice Ginsburg’s legacy, we honor both women and men who have changed the world,” she insisted.

The selections of Musk, in the ‘Entrepreneurship’ category, and Murdoch, in the ‘Media Mogul’ category, are sure to raise eyebrows. In addition to his endeavors in electric cars and space travel, Musk is a well-known free speech advocate who has made waves on social media for his support of right-leaning content, and Murdoch is the founder of NewsCorp. — parent company of Fox News. Ginsburg is a far-left “feminist” icon and was one of the Supreme Court’s most “progressive” justices.

It appears that both Murdoch and Musk saw the humor in their receiving the awards, with each responding with a statement that subtly acknowledged their significant political differences with the deceased Ginsburg.

“I am deeply honored to receive the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award,” Murdoch told the foundation in response to the award. “This recognition not only reflects my journey in the media and publishing industry but also represents the relentless defense of civil liberties and a commitment to civil discourse that Justice Ginsburg embodied. Her unique ability to maintain friendships and professional relationships across the political spectrum was one of her greatest attributes,” he continued.

“Free speech is the foundation of democracy,” Musk told the foundation.

WATCH: Jimmy Kimmel Plays Out Weird Gay Jail Sex Fantasies About Donald Trump.

Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel aired a confusing bit directed at former President Donald Trump on his show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Tuesday evening. The segment featured an attempted tongue-in-cheek examination of what life might be like for the former President were he to spend time behind bars.

Kimmel engaged a panel of ex-inmates for a discussion on what life is like in prison — discussing aspects of incarceration, like food, social media, and potential ‘romantic’ relationships. One ex-inmate suggested a “big Black man” may take Trump under his wing, with Kimmel responding: “So you’re saying racists can get along in certain situations, be they sexual.” The bizarre bit continued with the late-night host and panel of ex-inmates using action figures to enact a hypothetical scene of Trump’s life in jail.

The late-night host focused heavily on racial dynamics in prison as comedic material. Kimmel mused about which race-based gang Trump might join, asking the ex-inmates: “What group would he be in? Is there an orange?”

An incredibly revolting moment centered on how the former President might gain access to a phone to post on social media. One of the ex-inmates lewdly suggested how Melania Trump might smuggle in a phone and power charger, telling Kimmel: “And there’s only one place to put it up, right?”
