Steve Nikoui, a Gold Star father, was arrested during Joe Biden’s State of the Union address for heckling him over his botched handling of the military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Nikoui’s son was among the U.S. Marines killed at Kabul airport during Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from the country in 2021, and he began shouting “Abbey Gate” during a section of Biden’s speech.
Thirteen U.S. servicemen were killed by Islamic State–Khorasan Province (IS-KP) suicide bombers at Hamid Karzai International Airport’s Abbey Gate, including Nikoui’s son, Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui.
According to Capitol Police, Lance Cpl. Nikoui’s bereaved father has been charged with a misdemeanor pertaining to Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding.
Nikoui was a guest of Florida Rep. Brian Mast, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Accountability and Oversight, who said he had invited the Gold Star father to the address as a way of “reminding President Biden of the damage he has done to national security and American families.”

Joe Biden attempted to address the murder of Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant for the first time during his State of the Union address 40 minutes into the speech. However, the 81-year-old could not get the nursing student’s name correct — twice referring to her as “Lincoln.”
Responding to Republican lawmakers who have for weeks attacked Biden for failing to address the murder of Laken Riley, Biden briefly ditched the text of his speech to acknowledge her death.
The Democrat held up a pin with Laken Riley’s name on it, which was given to him by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA); he entered the House chamber, claiming: “I know how to say her name!” He then described her as “Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal, that’s right.”
“But how many thousands of people being killed by illegals?” he added incoherently.
Former Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi upbraided Biden for referring to Riley’s alleged murderer as an “illegal” after the address, telling CNN the President “should have said undocumented.”

The continued Houthi rebel attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden are costing the world significant amounts of time and money.
The attacks have forced many maritime transport companies to reroute their ships around the African continent rather than using the shorter route through the Suez Canal. Rerouting ships around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope has added 3,500 nautical miles to the shipping route between Asia and the West. The use of the longer shipping route due to the Iranian-backed rebel attacks has drastically increased the cost of transporting goods.
Accounting for about 10 percent of the volume of global maritime trade, the Suez Canal and the Red Sea shipping route is arguably one of the most important in the world. Raw minerals, oil, liquified natural gas, grains, rice, and electronic goods have moved via ship through the region without incident for decades. However, when the Iran-backed Houthi rebels of Yemen began attacking shipping after Israel launched a military campaign against Hamas, traffic through the Suez Canal collapsed.
The longer Africa route and increased time at sea have driven up fuel costs for maritime shipping companies — as well as expenses for crew and maintenance. This has led to a drastic rise in container costs for those looking to move goods around the world. In January 2023, the average cost of a standard 40-foot (FEU), non-refrigerated container was around $1,759.93. Today, the price of a container has jumped up to $5,495.20 on average.
In January of this year, President Joe Biden announced the US and UK militaries would begin an air campaign against Yemen’s Houthis in an effort to put an end to the attacks. Additionally, the two nations have dispatched naval forces to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to deter Houthi hijacking attempts. Despite numerous strikes against Houthi targets, the costly campaign has thus far failed. The Houthi rebels successfully sank a British container ship over the weekend.

A crowd of attendees at a New York Fire Department (FDNY) promotion ceremony interrupted a speech by State Attorney General Letitia James, drowning out her words with chants of “Trump! Trump! Trump!”
When the chanting began, James was thanking FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh for her service. In response to the unanticipated disruption, the Attorney General reportedly called for calm, asking the chanters to “simmer down.”
James initiated a politically-motivated case against the Trump Organization that resulted in a $355 million judgment against former President Donald Trump and a bar on certain members of the Trump Organization conducting business in New York State. James also threatened to seize Trump Tower in the event Trump cannot afford to pay the fine.
Questions about James’s personal ethics have recently arisen after it was reported she spent $250,000 of her campaign funds on luxury travel in 2o23.

A Syrian refugee who was given a platform by the BBC in 2016 to promote mass immigration has been convicted of involvement in a grooming gang. Omar and Mohamed Badreddin, as well as Huzaefa Aleboud, were sentenced by a Newcastle court for committing multiple rapes of a 13-year-old girl. A fourth man, Hamoud Al Soaimi, was found guilty of sexual assault.
Between August 2018 and April 2019, the Badreddins, Huzaefa Aleboud, and Hamoud Al Soaimi abused, raped, and tortured their female victim. She told the Newcastle court the men had made her life a “living nightmare.” They threatened her into silence, saying they would either kill her or take her to another country if she did not comply.
The 2016 BBC Newsnight report presented the narrative of Syrian national Omar Badreddin in a sympathetic light, emphasizing the experiences and challenges faced by those displaced by conflict and their struggle to gain refugee status in Western nations. Badreddin was accused of sexual assault shortly after arriving in Great Britain, though he was acquitted of the charges.
“I felt she [the accuser] didn’t want foreigners in this country, and that is why she made up the whole story,” Badreddin told the BBC at the time, blaming racism for the sexual assault allegation. The Newsnight report, hosted by Katie Razzall, concurred with Badreddin, lamenting that in Great Britain, “plenty are suspicious of newcomers with their different customs and traditions.”
The BBC acknowledged its role in platforming Omar Badreddin, saying in a statement, “In any situation, the BBC can only report on the facts as they stand at the time, which is what we did in 2016. The Badreddins’ subsequent crimes are appalling, and we express our sincere sympathies to their victim.”

The House of Representatives has adopted The Laken Riley Act — securing a bipartisan majority of 251 votes in favor. But not without the objection of 170 Congressional Democrats, who The National Pulse has named below.
If adopted by the Senate and signed by President Joe Biden into law, the legislation will require the detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of illegal immigrants implicated in local theft or burglary charges. The bill was drafted following the brutal murder of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who had prior criminal charges but was not previously detained by ICE.

Outgoing Representative Ken Buck (R-CO) is lashing out against his Republican colleagues, accusing them of lying for former President Donald Trump. Buck leveled the accusation while discussing his impending retirement and the current state of the GOP during a recent interview with NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt.
In terms of his retirement decision, Buck insisted it wasn’t prompted by fears of losing potential primary or general elections, as he was successful in the face of previous electoral opposition. He said his priorities have moved more towards his personal life, including spending more time with family. However, Buck explicitly connected his retirement decision to the continued popularity of former President Donald Trump.
“We’re at a time in American politics that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,” he said.
Buck told the Stirewalt that he is concerned about the changes within the GOP. He claimed the party is shifting away from the principles that defined the Tea Party towards populism, a development he believes to be hazardous. “We’ve gone from a time when the Tea Party stood for conservative principles to a time where the populists have taken over the Republican Party and are really advocating things that I believe are very dangerous,” Buck said.
The criticisms leveled by Buck — a staunch opponent of mass immigration during his tenure in Congress — have left some in the GOP baffled. Over the last year, the Colorado Republican has repeatedly criticized fellow immigration hawks like former President Trump and blasted Republican efforts to impeach Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The Second World War struggle against Nazi Germany is comparable to defeating former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, according to MSNBC.
During a discussion on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” panelist Mike Barnicle directly compared US involvement in WWII and efforts to defeat Trump at the ballot box.
Reflecting on James Rudder of the Second Airborne Battalion’s actions at Pointe du Hoc during the Normandy invasion, Barnicle noted, “he went right at the Germans, right at the Germans. Fifty percent casualty rate. Why did they do it? They did it because we were Americans, and we were there to save Europe from Hitler.” Barnicle continued: “And now, all of these years later, we have to get together as a country and save the country from the threat that Donald Trump proposes.”
Comparing Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler is a favorite rhetorical tactic of the Left. In January, it was reported that the Biden campaign’s efforts to portray Trump as a threat to ‘democracy’ were part of a “full Hitler” strategy designed to deceive the public.

Texas-based biotech firm Colossal Biosciences has taken a significant step towards the science fiction dream of resurrecting an extinct species.
The company announced Wednesday that scientists have created induced pluripotent stem cells for Asian elephants, the closest living relatives of the long-extinct woolly mammoth. Though peer review is still pending, the company plans to share the details in a scientific paper posted on the bioRxiv preprint server. Geneticist George Church, co-founder of the firm and a professor at Harvard University, hailed the milestone as a significant early stage in the project.
The ambition is to employ cloning and gene editing techniques to manipulate these newly created elephant cells in hopes of generating elephants bearing key traits of mammoths, including fur coats and fatty layers for cold survival. Church stated that the aim wasn’t to create a perfect mammoth genome but rather an improved version that could resist diseases like the devastating herpesvirus currently threatening elephant calves.
The project, however, has sparked fierce debates among scientists about the ethics of rejuvenating extinct species. Critics, such as Karl Flessa, a geoscience professor at the University of Arizona, express concerns about the potential for “freak shows” in zoos and the risk of subjecting reborn species to a second extinction due to modern environmental threats.
Church defended the venture, stating the intent is to bolster conservation efforts and use resistant traits to protect endangered animals like Asian elephants. Although the potential for this innovation remains controversial, many researchers see enormous potential in studying these specialized stem cells for the conservation of genetic diversity and species sustainability.

Law enforcement officers in Tennessee were notified last week to be on the lookout for a man named Benjamin Matthew Dayton, who may be plotting attacks on supporters of former President Donald Trump. According to the ‘Officer Safety Awareness’ bulletin, Dayton sent his mother several concerning text messages suggesting he intended to cause harm or even kill Trump supporters.
“Have been thinking an awful lot about rigging my van and bombing [T]rump supporters,” Dayton said in one message. The bulletin informed officers that Dayton had also been experiencing “suicidal and homicidal ideations and also mentioned trying to obtain a firearm.”
Dayton’s Instagramprofile contains an image of a 1969 US Army “Handbook of Improvised Explosives.” He also posted an image of his van with the anti-Israel slogan “from the rivers to the sea” painted on it.
According to a spokesman for the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, contact was made by the Arkansas State Police with Dayton after the bulletin’s release. “On March 1, 2024, The Tennessee Office of Homeland Security issued an officer safety bulletin to Tennessee and surrounding states’ law enforcement agencies based on information provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Memphis Field Office regarding Benjamin Dayton,” the spokesman said in a statement to The National Pulse. They added: “Recently, law enforcement agencies in Arkansas made contact with Mr. Dayton and the bulletin was allowed to expire.”
The National Pulse has reached out to the Arkansas State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for further details on when contact with Dayton was made and if the FBI is recommending charges against him.
