African suspected of trying to cut white Briton's head off identified — while police fret about online critics



The Sudanese asylum-seeker arrested for the horrific attempted beheading that took place in Northern Ireland on Monday night appeared in court on Wednesday, where he declined to enter a plea.

In addition to being identified, the African has been slapped with additional criminal charges after the brutal attack he is accused of committing prompted a fiery night of rioting in Belfast as well as demands for transparency and a withdrawal from the EU Migration Pact from rightist lawmakers.

'We will be going after them.'

Now that the liberal establishment has pivoted from feigning horror over the attempted beheading to expressing outrage over the backlash, police are threatening to arrest online influencers who raised the alarm about the incident.

Quick background

A black male was caught on camera sitting atop a bloodied white male in the middle of a north Belfast street, shouting something in a foreign tongue, then carving with a knife into the victim's face and neck.

The attack was interrupted by a Good Samaritan armed with a wooden hurl stick who gave the attacker a good thwacking. Another two men rushed in to help — one attempting to pull the victim to safety and the other giving a few well-placed kicks to the aggressor's head.

The attacker, who was initially identified by a police as Somali but later confirmed to be a Sudanese national, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

The victim, who has been identified as Stephen Ogilvie and a British citizen, was taken to the hospital in serious condition with grievous injuries to his face, neck, and back.

Suspect identified

Gavin Robinson, a member of the British Parliament for East Belfast, stated on Tuesday that the Sudanese suspect was living in the U.K. under a five-year visa.

Police subsequently confirmed that the suspect, 30-year-old Hadi Alodid, entered Northern Ireland from the Republic of Ireland in 2023, applied for asylum, and was granted leave to remain in the country until 2028.

The Telegraph reported that the suspect had "used a loophole" in the British asylum system — traveling from Sudan to Paris and then to Dublin, before taking a bus to Belfast and then claiming asylum.

In addition to the original charge of attempted murder, Alodid has been charged with possessing a knife in a public space and threatening to kill a woman who works as a radiographer for the National Health Service.

Alodid appeared at Laganside magistrate's court on Wednesday, where he communicated via an Arabic interpreter. The stabbing suspect — who allegedly left Ogilvie with no left eye, a damaged right eye, and deep cuts on his face and back — refused legal representation and declined to respond to the charges.

Alodid was denied bail at the urging of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

Police told the court that the African's release posed a threat of further offenses and a flight risk and could lead to "significant public disorder," reported the BBC.

The suspect's next court date is July 8.

Failed containment

The PSNI implored the general public on Tuesday not to share footage of the horrific attack, but the British public evidently had other ideas.

To the great chagrin not only of police but of those leftist lawmakers who expressed concerns over the inevitable political fallout, the video — yet another damning reminder of the isles' disastrous immigration policies and failed dogma of multiculturalism — went viral with the help of remigration activist Tommy Robinson and others.

Belfast was subsequently rocked by protests and, on Tuesday evening, riots in which homes, cars, and a bus were torched.

Some of the hundreds of black-clad young men who roamed the streets of the capital city on Tuesday reportedly shouted, "Foreigners out!" and pelted asylum-seeker housing with rocks.

'F**k 'em.'

Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson of the PSNI said in a statement, "Sporadic pockets of disorder have broken out in a number of locations across Northern Ireland this evening, including incidents in which a number of vehicles have been set on fire."

Prime Minister Keir Starmer and various other lawmakers condemned the riots — in many cases more forcefully than they condemned the attempted beheading.

"The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable," Starmer stated on Wednesday morning. "There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere. It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it."

Police have arrested several alleged rioters and are threatening to arrest online influencers over their provocative commentary regarding the attempted beheading.

"It’s very easy, these days especially, to look online and be persuaded, by people who know nothing about Northern Ireland, know nothing about the communities in Northern Ireland, know nothing about the history of Northern Ireland, to take actions that they otherwise would not take," said PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher. "Stop looking at this nonsense. Stop listening to these idiots. We will be going after them for the incitement that they’ve been doing."

"I'm not talking about individuals in this press conference, but people will know who were online last night and inciting this behavior. They will know what they were doing. We will be going after them," added Boutcher.

Despite this latest threat of a crackdown over online speech, Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson, and Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe have not rounded their critiques or softened their rhetoric.

Robinson, for instance, wrote, "Stop importing rapists, murderers, and sex pests from savage third world countries who put young girls [sic] lives at risk. Once you have advocated for that, and the removal of unwanted illegal migrants from communities who never asked for or wanted them, then you can take the high road. Until then, keep your mouth shut."

Lowe wrote early Wednesday, "Millions must go," and "the Belfast victim has lost his left eye and has severe damage to his right eye. Hacked at the neck, with his eyes gouged. Men who inflict this brutal evil on others do not deserve to live."

Musk shared a post rejecting the calls for calm, then tweeted, "F**k 'em."

Texas radical charged with making terroristic threats against Erika Kirk



The widow of assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk will join Arkansas Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey, and other influential conservative women in San Antonio next month for the Turning Point Women's Leadership Summit — an event geared toward "women who are ready to rise fully into the life they were created to lead and who value courage, conviction, and clarity in every season."

News of Erika Kirk's imminent arrival enraged at least one radical. Jacob Wenske, 26, allegedly threatened to murder the TPUSA CEO and bomb the event.

Wenske was arrested on Thursday and slapped with a pair of third-degree felony charges of making a terroristic threat involving public fear or serious bodily injury or public disruption. His bond has been set at $120,000.

'God’s justice is certain.'

According to the arrest warrant obtained by KSAT-TV, Wenske allegedly replied to an April social media post about the three-day TPUSA event, writing, "I know exactly where to bomb."

Wenske allegedly said in a separate post, "I can't wait to be the valet for her escort," apparently referring to Erika Kirk, who is scheduled to be a featured speaker at the event.

An email sent in January 2026 from an account that is registered to Wenske stated, "Death to Erika Kirk and every single speaker there!! America will live on without those scum on this earth. Every Christian nationalist shall perish in the bombing that will take place at every single Turning Point rally and event," said the warrant.

Leftists in the Democratic Party, the media, academia, and elsewhere have fearmongered for years about the imagined threat posed by "Christian nationalism" — a catchall term used to describe their ideological foes who also happen to be Christian in a nation almost entirely founded by Christians and where today over six in 10 adults are Christian.

James Talarico, for instance — the Democrat nominee running against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for a U.S. Senate seat — recently claimed that "Christian nationalism is a threat to democracy" and that "when fascism comes to America, it'll be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross."

CNN, which has advanced similar fear narratives, released a documentary earlier this year titled "The Rise of Christian Nationalism." The hour-long agitprop not only warned of the ascendancy of "white evangelical culture" but identified Erika Kirk's murdered husband as a proponent of the movement — even though Charlie Kirk stated in 2024 that "Christian Nationalism" is "a boogeyman they've invested to silence you" and noted before his assassination that he had never described himself as a Christian nationalist.

"Turning Point USA takes all threats seriously and we work closely with law enforcement at all levels to respond to and resolve any threats," the organization said in a statement. "We are grateful to the San Antonio Police Department and the FBI for their rapid response and arrest of the individual making these threats."

TPUSA noted further that the safety of its attendees, speakers, and staff is its top priority and that all of its events "include enhanced, multi-layered security measures that are enforced by both private security and local police."

"We refuse to let threats silence us," added TPUSA.

Erika Kirk wrote the following in a Thursday post on X, "The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming. The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose way is upright; their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. Psalm 37:12-15."

Kirk added, "God’s justice is certain."

Trump’s Counterterrorism Focus Shifts From Christian Parents To Antifa Thugs, Drug Cartels

US Anti-Terror Agency Froze Funds of Ilhan Omar's Husband During Biden Administration, Partner Says: Biden DOJ Would Later Probe Omar's 'Foreign Ties'

A U.S. national security agency that metes out sanctions against foreign terrorists and rogue regimes placed a hold in 2022 on investment funds raised by "Squad" member Ilhan Omar's (D., Minn.) husband and his business partner, the partner claimed in emails later cited in legal filings. The claim of a mysterious hold came while Omar sat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and two years before she was reportedly investigated by the Biden Justice Department for her "interactions with a foreign citizen."

United Airlines pilot allegedly threatens passengers with FBI intervention over Wi-Fi hot spot name



A pilot allegedly threatened to call authorities this month over a Wi-Fi name that was determined to be a potential security threat.

The story came from a person who claimed to have been a passenger on a United Airlines flight that featured an awkward moment when the pilot addressed the travelers and issued a warning.

'You could feel everyone looking around.'

The alleged passenger said the pilot came over the speaker "sounding extremely serious" and said the name of the Wi-Fi hot spot was being interpreted as a potential threat and security issue, Simply Flying reported.

According to the witness, the pilot warned whoever was hosting the network labeled "Free Palestine, F Zionists" had "30 seconds" to disable it or remove it from public view or he was going to have the FBI meet the aircraft when it landed.

"FBI will meet the plane," the passenger recalled hearing.

"The entire cabin got dead silent," the witness alleged in a post on Reddit. "You could feel everyone looking around, trying to figure out who it was."

The social media user also claimed that while some of the passengers looked nervous, others were laughing because they thought it was an absurd situation.

The storyteller said it felt like an example of hyper-political-polarization, where regular people are bringing political messaging into almost any situation, causing institutions to react with full force rather than risk missing a warning sign.

The quick escalation is what the storyteller found most startling, noting that there was no request from a flight attendant, but rather a serious public announcement that turned an "edgy hot spot name" into a security issue.

However, it is not irregular for pilots or flight crews to raise the alarm over Wi-Fi names out of an abundance of caution.

In February, Hungarian airline Wizz Air had fighter jets scrambled during a flight from London to Tel Aviv over a Wi-Fi network labeled "Terrorist" written in Arabic. According to PYOK, security forces were waiting to meet the plane at Ben Gurion Airport.

PYOK also reported on an incident from January when fighter jets from both France and Spain were scrambled over a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Barcelona. This incident related to a network named "I HAVE A BOMB. EVERYONE WILL DIE."

United Airlines did not respond to a request for comment about the recent alleged incident.

Muslims are conquering NYC — but Zohran Mamdani says THEY'RE the victims



New York City may have once been the victim of the worst attack on United States soil at the hands of Islamic terrorists, but it appears residents have gotten over it.

“In case you were, I don’t know, on the fence about whether or not New York City forgot all about 9/11 — they did,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says.

“It just keeps becoming increasingly obvious that they forgot because the Islamic conquest, it’s just as we predicted here at 'Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,' it’s just happening in broad daylight. And you know what? That’s to be expected when you elect a Muslim commie mayor,” she explains.

Gonzales then plays a clip of tens of Islamic men praying outside of an all-girls' Jewish school in New York City.


“Just taunting the Jews inside that building,” she says.

In another video, a large Muslim crowd gathered outside of a synagogue during prayer, waving Palestinian flags and chanting “Allahu Akbar.”

“I would be concerned about it. If I’m the mayor of New York City, I’m on it. I’m concerned about it. But instead of being concerned about it, of course, you would have the Muslim commie Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is actually here to tell you that it’s the Muslims who are under attack in New York City,” Gonzales says.

“I am aware of the disturbing incident targeting worshippers during Friday prayers outside the Baitul Mamur Mosque in Brooklyn, where a man praying was struck with an egg,” Mamdani wrote in a post on X.

“That hateful act is unacceptable and an affront to the values that define us as New Yorkers. My administration is committed to rooting out anti-Muslim hate in all its forms and ensuring every New Yorker can live and worship in safety and dignity,” he continued.

Mamdani added that “the NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is investigating this incident.”

When Gonzales tried to research the incident, she “couldn’t find any reporting on this other than the media reporting on his post.”

“There’s no video. There’s no description of a suspect. The mosque itself hasn’t even commented on it. Isn’t that strange? Isn’t that odd? And I guess Zohran Mamdani as the mayor, he just got the scoop,” she says.

“The mosque wasted an opportunity to be the victims of an egg attack,” she adds.
