Pro-Lifer Arrested for Preaching Gospel Outside Abortion Facility.

Police arrested a pro-life man in Ohio for preaching the Gospel outside an abortion clinic, as police claimed he was annoying women trying to enter the facility. On December 28, Zack Knotts was arrested outside an abortion clinic in Cuyahoga Falls, charged with disorderly conduct.

Knotts was using a megaphone to deliver a Christian message to women entering the facility. According to reports, he said, “There’s hope in the Gospel of Jesus Christ for all of you,” and mentioned salvation for sinners.

A video recorded by Knotts’s wife shows police approaching and detaining him. Initially, Knotts was not informed of the reason for his arrest, but officers later cited complaints about “inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm” caused by his words.

The disorderly conduct ordinance in Cuyahoga Falls prohibits making “unreasonable noise.” Knotts argues this regulation lacks objective standards, allowing selective enforcement. He referenced similar cases dismissed by the Supreme Court.

Footage shows Knotts in a police vehicle, justifying his actions to an officer and hinting at legal action. The video later shows him being released. Lindsay Davis-Knotts posted on Instagram that her husband was warned against returning to the site for evangelizing, facing a potential prison term.

Heather Idoni, another pro-life activist, was arrested in 2023 for violating pro-abortion laws meant to stop protests at abortion clinics. Idoni complained of mistreatment in custody, including being forced into solitary confinement.

In the United Kingdom, the leftist Labour Party government is looking to ban outright all protests outside abortion clinics, including silent prayer.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Gains ANOTHER Big Defection.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party has welcomed a former Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) known for being tough on illegal immigration and a challenger of woke dogma. Marco Longhi becomes the third defector in as many months to Farage’s party, which is exploding in the polls.

Longhi—who represented the Dudley North constituency (electoral district) from 2019 to 2024—announced his shift, criticizing the current direction of the Conservative Party, describing it as “unrecognizable” compared to its former days under leaders like Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.

“The Conservative Party I once identified with—the party of Churchill and Thatcher—has transformed into something unrecognizable, captured by a left-wing influence that masquerades as conservatism at election time while prioritizing the wishes of an elite few when in power,” he said, saying he would not be part of this “uniparty drift.”

A staunch Conservative, Longhi penned a letter to the Telegraph newspaper in 2020, slamming the “woke agenda” and cultural Marxism. He also confronted former Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who resigned after a sex abuse coverup last year, on his support for illegal immigration. Longhi questioned the former Archbishop in 2022 on why he was against a plan to remove asylum seekers to Rwanda, asking if he would house illegals in his own palaces.

Reform has attracted several defectors from the Conservatives, including billionaire donor Nick Candy as treasurer and former Conservative MP Aidan Burley.

Internationally, tech billionaire Elon Musk has expressed support for Reform after meeting with Farage and Candy in Florida late last year.

‘The View’ Goes Off the Deep End, Likens Jan 6 to the Holocaust.

The View‘s Sunny Hostin, known for outlandish and often absurd political statements, is now likening the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots to the Holocaust. Speaking on the ABC mid-day talk show, Hostin lamented that most Americans appear to have moved on from the unrest that occurred four years ago in Washington, D.C.

“I think we need to find moral clarity, you know, in this country,” Hostin said as co-host Whoopi Goldberg looked on. “I just remember after January 6, you had someone like Mitch McConnell placing the blame on January 6 where it belongs—squarely on Donald Trump’s shoulders. And then you started seeing people backtrack that and losing their moral center. You had Condoleezza Rice, I believe—on this very show—saying, ‘You know we need to move on from January 6.'”

“I say no. You don’t move on. Because January 6 was an atrocity. It was one of the worst moments in American history. And when you think about the worst moments in American history, you know, like World War Two—things that happened—like the Holocaust, chattel slavery, we need to never forget. Because past becomes prologue if you forget any race.”

While the far-left host of The View insists the Capitol riots stand in moral equivalence to some of the darkest moments in modern history, the scale does not appear to be comparable. Four total individuals died during the riots—all were protestors, including Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed at point-blank range by Capitol Police Officer Lt. Michael Byrd while trying to climb through a window near the House Chamber, unarmed.

Meanwhile, the Holocaust saw Nazi Germany exterminate over six million Jews on an industrial scale, and the American practice of chattel slavery saw just over 10 million mostly African-heritage individuals held in bondage in the United States.

Illegal Migrant Found With AR-15, $750K Drugs in Publicly Funded Hotel.

Massachusetts law enforcement officials have apprehended Leonardo Andujar Sanchez, a 28-year-old Dominican national, at a taxpayer-supported shelter in Revere, Massachusetts. Andujar faces charges including firearm possession without legal authorization, possession of ammunition, possession of high-capacity magazines, and trafficking heroin. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office spokesman confirmed these charges.

The arrest occurred on December 27 after a search warrant was executed at the Quality Inn. During the search, authorities confiscated an AR-15 rifle, ammunition, and approximately five kilograms of illicit drugs, including fentanyl and cocaine. The drugs are estimated to have a street value of around $750,000. The arrest underscores ongoing issues related to unlawful migrants residing in state-funded shelters.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials revealed that Andujar had entered the United States illegally before his arrest. ICE has issued an immigration detainer in conjunction with Revere police, signifying intentions to take him into custody after local legal proceedings.

This case is part of a broader pattern involving illegal migrants in Massachusetts shelters. Earlier this year, another migrant, Cory Alvarez—a Haitian national—was arrested for raping a disabled child at another migrant hotel.

The influx of illegal migrants and inadmissible foreign nationals in Massachusetts is costing the state huge sums of money, projected to exceed $1 billion by fiscal year 2025.

Ousted WaPo Reporter Lobbies Instagram to Show Teens More LGBT Content.

Disgraced former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz is pushing Meta‘s Instagram social media platform to expose teenagers to more LGBT content. Lorenz, who has a concerning history regarding her interactions and behavior towards minors on social media despite being around 41 years old, claims Instagram is removing content warnings on posts with LGBT-related hashtags after she complained to the company.

“Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months,” Lorenz wrote on the far-left Bluesky—a clone of X (formerly Twitter) which has become popular among progressive activists, Never Trumpers, and pedophiles following President-elect Donald J. Trump’s landslide 2024 election victory. She continues: “Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta’s ‘sensitive content’ policy which restricts ‘sexually suggestive content’, Meta said they are fixing this ‘error’ after I reached out for comment.”


The National Pulse has previously reported that Instagram failed to prevent the promotion of child-sexualizing material—in some instances, pushed under the guise of LGBT content.

In 2023, a Wall Street Journal investigation found that test accounts used to follow young gymnasts, cheerleaders, and other active teenage influencers were quickly inundated with “salacious content” such as inappropriate footage of children as well as “overtly sexual adult videos.” Investigations conducted by Stanford University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst found similar issues with Instagram’s content promoted through its algorithm.

Meanwhile, Lorenz was forced out of our role at The Washington Post late last year after she lied regarding her own post on Instagram, calling President Joe Biden a “war criminal.” Subsequently, Lorenz was dropped by Vox Media after she promoted violence against American healthcare CEOs on Bluesky following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

BREAKING: Giuliani Held in Contempt of Court by Trump-Appointed Democrat Judge.

A federal judge found former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court on Monday for not complying with a court order to transfer assets. The decision relates to a previous judgment in favor of two former election workers from Georgia—Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss—who say Giuliani defamed them. Giuliani was ordered to pay the two women an astonishing $148 million in damages.

“The defendant willfully violated an unambiguous order of the court,” U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Liman–a Trump-appointed Democrat–ruled from the bench in his Manhattan federal courthouse. Late last year, Giuliani, 80, was disbarred in Washington, D.C., over the defamation lawsuit’s results and other public statements.

The judgment requiring Giuliani to turn over certain assets stemmed from allegations made during the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. These allegations led to a lawsuit by the two workers, who claimed they were defamed by false accusations related to ballot fraud. Despite the court’s directive to settle the issue by transferring assets, Giuliani has reportedly not fulfilled these obligations, resulting in the contempt ruling.

Giuliani, known as “America’s Mayor” for his leadership following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, has been involved in several legal battles over the past few years. However, the former New York City Mayor and attorney for Donald J. Trump has been one of the more prominent targets of Democrat-backed lawfare efforts stemming from Republican challenges to the 2020 election results.

Further legal proceedings in the case are expected as the court considers the conditions of enforcement for its judgment.

Joe Biden Wrote a J6 Op-Ed… No One Noticed.

Lame-duck President Joe Biden authored an op-ed for the anniversary of the January 6, 2021 protests—or had someone write one in his name—but almost nobody has taken any notice of it. Published in The Washington Post, the article insists that January 6 was not “a protest that just got out of hand” and repeats the lie that “Some police officers ultimately died as a result” of injuries sustained on the day.

In fact, while Officer Brian Sicknick died of a stroke the day after January 6, claims by law enforcement that he had been hit with a fire extinguisher turned out to be false, and he actually died of “natural causes.” The only other police fatalities that some have attempted to connect to January 6 were suicides.

Two protestors died of heart attacks on the day of the attack, and Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt was shot dead by Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd, a known liar, despite being unarmed.

Biden insisted Americans “should commit to remembering Jan. 6, 2021, every year… as a day when our democracy was put to the test and prevailed.”

Even anti-Trump former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst Martin Gurri has argued January 6 was not a coup attempt, noting that “[i]n an insurgency, people with guns shoot at each other and lots of them die,” and there’s “no such thing as an unarmed insurgency.”

American conservatives being the most heavily armed civilians in the world, the fact there was no such gunfighting on January 6 strongly indicates that protestors did not attend the Capitol with an earnest attempt to overthrow the government in mind.

TRUMP TRANSITION 2024/5

WINNING: Trump Plans to Release Over 1,000 J6 Prisoners.

President-elect Donald J. Trump reportedly plans to pardon over 1,000 people convicted of crimes related to the January 6 riot — even promising to do so on his “first day” in office.

Back up: More than 1,600 of Trump’s supporters have been charged with crimes related to the January 6, 2021 riot, and hundreds are currently in prison, many for simply entering the Capitol area.

The details: Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker in December: “I’m going to be acting very quickly… I’m looking first day. These people have been there — how long is it? Three, four years. They’ve been in there for years. And they’re in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to be open.”

  • Trump added: “These people have suffered. Their lives have been destroyed. And yet, in Portland, where they burned down half the city… They don’t do anything.”

Quote: On Sunday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a key Trump ally, wrote on X: “President Trump will be giving clemency, pardons and commutations, to J6’ers!!”

The scope: Trump has indicated that his administration would “look at each individual case” and focus on “non-violent” offenders.

In related news: Matthew Graves, the D.C. U.S. Attorney who ran the prosecutions of J6ers, announced last week that he will resign ahead of Trump’s return to office.

The last word: Republican strategist John Feehery summed up the whole J6 spectacle best, saying: “Instead of spending time talking about issues the voters cared about, [Democrats] wasted time talking about a mostly peaceful protest that really only resonated with those who watch MSNBC.”

Jeff Bezos’s Failing Washington Post Faces ANOTHER Round of Layoffs.

The Washington Post—owned by billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos—is expected to announce significant layoffs this week, particularly affecting its business division. Several dozen positions will likely be cut in the organization led by publisher and CEO Will Lewis.

The anticipated layoffs follow a period of significant staff turnover at the newspaper, which has seen several high-profile departures recently. Notably, Josh Dawsey is leaving for a role at The Wall Street Journal. He joins other former staffers such as Matea Gold, Ashley Parker, Michael Scherer, Charles Lane, Tyler Pager, and Amanda Katz, who have also exited the publication.

The changes are likely to further affect the newspaper’s flagging morale. In November 2023, The Washington Post saw over 100 employees depart through layoffs and buyouts as it struggled to retain readership. In the hopes of broadening the newspaper’s appeal beyond its currently far-left readership, Bezos prevented its editorial board from endorsing Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election. However, the move resulted in a loss of over 250,000 subscribers.

The 2023 layoffs were followed by an employee strike, which saw reporters and staff walk out over a 24-hour period, demanding higher pay and expanded remote work options.

The Washington Post isn’t the only corporate media outlet struggling after President-elect Donald J. Trump’s landslide election victory. Both CNN and MSNBC have seen their television ratings crater since the November election, prompting executives to push for on-air talent salary cuts and staff reductions.

In mid-December, Gloria Borger—a nearly two-decade veteran of CNN—left the network. Meanwhile, MSNBC hosts Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle were forced to take pay reductions to stay on air.

Imam Connected to NOLA Terrorist Invited to Local Govt Event for Opening Prayer.

Harris County, Texas, government officials are continuing to embrace the Islamic Society of Greater Houston (ISGH) mosques and its radical imams despite their ties to New Orleans terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar. One of the Houston-area mosque network’s imams, Furqan Sayed, is set to offer an opening prayer at an upcoming Commissioners Court meeting on January 9—the governing body for Harris County, located in Houston, where Din Jabbar lived.

Sayed, an imam at the ISGH—Masjid Abubakr, hosted radical Pakistani activist Nida Abubaker this past August. She is the daughter of Shukri AbuBaker—a convicted terrorist. Even more troubling, the ISGH mosque network in Houston and Harris County is accused of being involved with Pakistani Islamist and Kashmiri jihadist groups both in the United States and abroad.

The National Pulse reported last week that the imam at ISGH–Masjid Bilal, where Din Jabbar allegedly attended, has a long track record of making antisemitic remarks. Imam Eiad Saudan has alleged Jews take over economies wherever they go and claimed that was the reason Adolf Hitler killed them. He added that Europeans only supported Israel because they did not want Jews to come back to Europe.

In another sermon from August of last year, another imam, Mohammed ElFarooqui, gave an antisemitic sermon at Masjid Bilal, claiming the Islamic god Allah had turned Jews into monkeys, pigs, and rats for disobeying him. He added that Jews think God only watched them at the Temple in Jerusalem, saying, “So they went out everywhere on the face of this earth, started creating havoc everywhere.”

Early New Year’s Day, Din Jabbar murdered 15 people in New Orleans by driving a truck through crowds gathered on Bourbon Street. The Houston resident and army veteran pledged his allegiance to the ISIS terrorist group before his attack.
