Why Was This Man Out of Prison? Why Was This Man in the United States?

Amid the spate of jihad attacks around the United States over the last couple of weeks, one of the perpetrators stands out for the rest, not because he was more ruthless or brutal than the others, but because he epitomizes the abject failure of our immigration and law enforcement systems to deal adequately with the specter of jihad violence.

Mohamed Bailor Jalloh was born in Sierra Leone, and later became not only a naturalized U.S. citizen, but a member of the Army National Guard. He did so, as PJ’s Scott Pinsker notes acidly, because of what court records termed “a patriotic desire to give back to his adopted country.”  

Yet his patriotism went only so far. USA Today reported Thursday that “in July 2016, the Justice Department announced that Jalloh was arrested for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State. About a month before his arrest, the department said Jalloh had traveled to North Carolina and made ‘multiple unsuccessful attempts to obtain firearms.’”

NBC News added that Jalloh wanted those weapons as part of a jihad plot to “murder US military personnel.” He tried to “buy an AK-47, but the gun owner refused to sell it.” Then he succeeded in buying an AR-15 at a gun store, but the feds were on his trail: the day after he bought his gun, he was arrested. 

Jalloh also “attempted to provide funds to people hoping to join the Islamic State terrorist group, better known as ISIS.” And even that wasn’t all. Another aspect of his jihad plotting in 2016 involved an attempt to murder free-speech activist Pamela Geller.  

WND reported in July 2016 that according to an affidavit, “When discussing attack operations, JALLOH stated he knows such operations are ‘100 percent the right thing.’ JALLOH then asked if CHS1 ever thought about targeted operations (targeted killings). JALLOH then identified a person by name who had organized multiple Draw the Prophet Mohammad contests in the United States. JALLOH provided the general location for this individual and described this individual as ‘evil.’ JALLOH insinuated that this individual would be an ideal focus of a targeted attack because of his/her actions against the Prophet Mohammad.”

In addition to all this, Jalloh was also “focused on conducting a Fort Hood-style massacre against the United States armed forces,” which appears to be something like the attack he carried out on Thursday. He seems to have targeted his victims at Old Dominion University because of their link to the U.S. military: “The victims have not been identified. Two of them are members of the school’s ROTC program.”

CNN’s Hack Abby Phillip Forced to Issue Humiliating On-Air Correction After FALSELY Claiming Islamist Terror Attack in NYC Targeted Socialist Mayor Mamdani

Far-left host Abby Phillip was caught red-handed spreading a massive lie this week, forced into a humiliating on-air correction after she shamelessly lied about an Islamist terror attack in New York City.

In a desperate attempt to smear House Republicans, Phillip claimed that an ISIS-linked bombing was targeted at NYC’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the chaos unfolded on Saturday when 18-year-old Amir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Nick, launched homemade bombs during an anti-Islam protest organized by former January 6 political prisoner Jake Lang, who was pardoned by President Trump last year.

According to the New York Post, authorities said the homemade device was constructed using sports drink bottles packed with triacetone triperoxide (TATP)—a highly unstable explosive widely favored by terrorists and often referred to as the “Mother of Satan.”

Federal authorities are digging deeper, revealing that these aren’t just misguided kids; they’re part of a broader network with alarming links to foreign radicals.

Following the attack, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) responded with an extremely provocative comment that infuriated the left: Muslims do not belong in the United States.

“Muslims don’t belong in American society,” Ogles wrote on X. “Pluralism is a lie.”

Far-Left CNN Hack Abby Phillip Panics After Going Viral for Spewing This MASSIVE Lie Regarding the NYC Islamist Terror Attack

CNN’s leftist host Abby Phillip sparked national outrage last night after uttering a huge lie about last weekend’s terror attack in New York City before trying to backtrack in a panic.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, two male Islamist terrorists linked to ISIS threw a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence on Saturday. The bomb was laced with metal and powerful explosives, according to the New York Times.

Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.

One of the men screamed “Allahu Akbar!” while getting arrested.

Following the attack, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) responded with an extremely provocative comment that infuriated the left: Muslims do not belong in the United States.

“Muslims don’t belong in American society,” Ogles wrote on X. “Pluralism is a lie.”

This remark came less than one month after Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) set the Internet on fire with his comments toward a Muslim leftist who called for banning dogs as indoor pets.

“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one,” Fine wrote.

Phillip seemingly saw an opportunity to smear Fine and Ogles while insinuating they were partly to blame for the terror attack. And she did so by outright lying about Muslim NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani being the target.

“Two Republicans say Muslims don’t belong here after an attempted terror attack on New York City’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani. And the House Speaker, Mike Johnson, says nothing to really condemn these comments,” Phillip fibbed.

CNN Edits Shameful Post Framing Suspected ISIS Inspired Terrorists as ‘Pennsylvania Teenagers Enjoying a Day in NYC’ After Backlash

CNN edited a shameful social media post that framed two suspected ISIS-inspired terrorists as throwing a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally, as a couple of Pennsylvania teenagers who were out to enjoy an unseasonably warm day.

The Gateway Pundit reported that on Saturday, two male Islamist terrorists threw a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence. The bomb was laced with metal and powerful explosives, according to the New York Times.

One of the men screamed “Allahu Akbar!” while getting arrested.

NYPD outlined what terror suspects said about their alleged ISIS inspiration after being arrested following the failed attack.

“Kayumi said in recorded, post-arrest statements that he had watched ISIS propaganda on his phone and his actions that day were partly inspired by ISIS.”

“Balat made spontaneous statements without being questioned by NYPD officers… He said, ‘This isn’t a religion that just stands when people talk about the blessed name of the prophet. We take action. We take action.’”

“As well as, ‘If I didn’t do it, someone else will come and do it.’”

“After waiving his rights, he requested paper and wrote a message declaring in part, ‘I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State, die in your rage, you Kufar’… ‘Kufar’ is an Arabic term that refers to non-believers.”

Zohran Mamdami Refuses to Condemn ISIS Inspired Terrorists, Blames White Supremacy Instead

Two men from Pennsylvania have been arrested after police say improvised explosive devices were thrown near protesters outside Gracie Mansion in Manhattan during a demonstration Saturday.

The suspects, identified as Ibraham Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18, were taken into custody following the incident. Authorities said the devices were later determined to be improvised explosive devices capable of causing serious harm.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani addressed the incident Monday during a press conference outside Gracie Mansion, appearing alongside NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

“They are suspected of coming here to commit an act of terrorism,” Mamdani said during the briefing.

He also referenced video footage that investigators say captured the incident.

“There’s video of these two individuals throwing two devices towards the protest. The police department has determined that these were improvised explosive devices made to injure, maim, or worse.”

Mamdani added that anyone attempting to bring violence into the city would face legal consequences.

Parents of alleged ISIS-loving NYC bomb thrower own $2.5M Pennsylvania home, are naturalized citizens from Afghanistan

The parents of one of the alleged ISIS-loving wannabe terrorists who tried to detonate an IED near Gracie Mansion own a gorgeous, $2.25 million home – a sign they seized the American Dream after arriving from Afghanistan decades ago, The Post has learned.

Alleged teen bomber Ibrahim Kayumi’s family home is a 5,800-square-foot manse with six bedrooms and five bathrooms in scenic Newtown, Pennsylvania, records show.

Kayumi, 19, and his friend Emir Balat, 18, traveled from the blissful enclave of McMansions in Bucks County to the Big Apple, where they allegedly hurled homemade bombs at a racist agitator’s anti-Muslim protest outside the mayoral residence on the Upper East Side Saturday, according to police and prosecutors.

The stunning attempted bombing – which NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said was being investigated as an act of “ISIS-inspired terrorism” – shocked Kayumi’s neighbors.

“This is not the kind of place you think of when you think Islamic terror,” one neighbor, Kathy, said Monday. “This is Americana, here. It’s middle class, but in the best way.

FBI Launches Terrorism Probe as Bombs at New York City Counter-Protest Reported to Have Deadly TATP Explosive Favored by Islamist Terrorists

The two homemade bombs that failed to detonate at a counter-protest against an anti-Islam demonstration in New York City on Saturday contained the deadly explosive TATP (triacetone triperoxide), aka “Mother of Satan,” that is favored by Islamist terrorists, according to reports. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force has reportedly taken the lead in the investigation. (Previous TGP article.)

One bomb was thrown at an anti-Islam rally held at Gracie Mansion, official home to New York City’s first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, that was led by controversial J6er Jake Lang. One suspect reportedly yelled “Allahu akbar” when the bomb was thrown. The second bomb was dropped after being ignited by a fleeing suspect.

Neither of the bombs, which reportedly contained nuts and bolts, went off–saving countless lives. New York City police ran to the danger and secured the bombs. (A third suspected device is being investigated after being found several blocks away from Gracie Mansion on Sunday.)

Two men from Pennsylvania, Emir Bala, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were arrested at the scene in connection to the attempted bombings. The New York Post reported the men are “self-radicalized” supporters of ISIS and confessed to the bombing. Both men reportedly had recently traveled to the Middle East.

White House blocks intelligence report warning of rising US homeland terror threat linked to Iran war

The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said.

The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details ‘elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.’

‘Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,’ the report continues.

The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence.

The official title is ‘A Public Safety Awareness Report: Elevated threat in the United States during US-Iran conflict’. 

Homeland Security broke protocol and gave the White House a heads-up about the nationwide bulletin hours before it was set to be released. 

Top Trump officials ordered it placed on ‘hold’. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.

‘The White House is coordinating closely with all government agencies to ensure information being disseminated is accurate, up to date, and has been properly vetted — even if that means taking additional time to review to ensure nothing is done in a vacuum,’ said White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson.

UK COUNTER-TERROR Police Ad Warns Teens Sharing ‘Funny’ Content Could Be TERRORISM

The UK’s Counter Terrorism Police have released a disturbing advertisement depicting a white teenager facing police seizure of devices and a potential criminal record simply for sharing a link he found “funny”—content, we are told, was later deemed terrorist material.

This move, part of the broader Prevent anti-radicalization strategy, underscores the UK regime’s push to police online activity among youth, framing it as a gateway to extremism while ignoring surging real-world dangers from mass migration.

In the ad, a teen laments: “I just got all my device taken away by the police… My mom couldn’t believe it. I might get a criminal record and not be able to go to college.” He then explains: “I only shared a link. I just thought it was funny, but it was terrorist content.”

Counter Terrorism Policing describes itself as “a collaboration of UK police forces working with the UK intelligence community to help protect the public and our national security by preventing, deterring, and investigating terrorist activity.”

A recent academic analysis in the Journal of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism highlights the escalating involvement of family courts and Prevent in childhood radicalization cases, noting “the number of children referred to Prevent and Channel due to concerns that they might be at risk of, or from, radicalisation has been steadily increasing since 2015.”

It adds that professionals like teachers are “legally obligated to refer that child to the police under the auspices of Prevent” if suspecting risk.

Government guidance on Prevent duty in schools urges communication with parents to spot signs, but also empowers referrals if family members show vulnerability. As one factsheet states, referrals can come from “a family member, friend, colleague, or a professional.”
