Why? Because no matter the spin, EVERYONE in the Biden Administration knows that the Afghanistan withdrawal was an abject and deadly failure leading to the deaths of 13 American soldiers and injuring countless others.Everyone knows and they don’t want to be reminded of it. As Nina told you, Mr. Nikoui was removed by the Capitol Police for heckling Biden. Now, let us remember that Biden’s motorcade got held up and forced to reroute to the Capitol because of Pro-Palestinian protesters. Not arrested. Not held. But, shades of January 6, 2021, the Gold Star Dad was arrested and charged and held. The write up from Military.com:
The father of a Marine killed during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan interrupted President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Speech on Thursday night, crying out “Abbey Gate! Abbey Gate!” — the name of the airport gate where his son was killed by a suicide bomber. Steve Nikoui, the father of fallen Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, was arrested by Capitol Police for the outburst, which also included yelling “Marines” while Biden spoke of violent crime in the U.S. Lance Cpl. Nikoui was one of 13 service members and at least 170 Afghans killed in the bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport on Aug. 26, 2021. “Last night at approximately 10:15 p.m., a man disrupted the State of the Union Address by yelling. Our officers warned him to stop and, when he did not, the man was removed from the House Galleries and was arrested,” U.S. Capitol Police told Military.com in an email. Nikoui was charged with crowding, obstructing, or incommoding, “a routine charge on Capitol Hill,” Capitol Police said. “People who illegally demonstrate/disrupt Congress typically are released after they pay a $50 fine, so the misdemeanor charge is resolved without going to court.”Oh, wow. How kind are the Capitol Police that he only had to pay a $50 fine and it was “charge is resolved without going to court”. That ought to frost you. Everyone involved in this Administration is shameful. Army Captain Sam Brown describes this as an insult:
While the Gold Star Dad was a guest of war-wounded Representative Brian Mast, he spoke to Representative Michael McCaul ahead of the SOTU and let him know that he was going to heckle Joe:The arrest of Gold Star father Steve Nikoui is outrageous.

The Biden administration has no compassion or respect for military families. Leadership has consequences, and failed leadership hurts.
Honor our Gold Star families. Remember Abbey Gate. Remember the 13. pic.twitter.com/32Z0RNWN8i
“I talked to Steve prior to his announcement on the floor. I said, look, this is between you and your god and your conscience and your son, and the other families,” McCaul said. “I think they feel that their children have been completely, you know, blown off by this administration, the president’s never called to say ‘I’m sorry.’ And that is why he spoke up.” The senior Republican warned the Gold Star dad that he would likely be escorted off the House floor if he protested. “I didn’t encourage him to do it… it was his choice to make, and it was a powerful one,” McCaul said. Law enforcement said Nikoui was arrested on charges of crowding, obstructing or incommoding. He was a guest of Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla. McCaul called the charges “petty.” “I guess he resisted arrest, and I get that, I was a federal prosecutor many years, but in this type of case, I mean, the charges seem a little overbearing given the fact this is a man who lost his son in Abbey Gate to the bombing in a really screwed up situation,” McCaul said.The Capitol Police need “humanity classes”. If you look closely in the video below, you can see Nikoui “resisting” arrest. Well, he yanked his arm. The end of the video is the best part. After his release from arrest, Nikoui arrives at a restaurant where other Gold Star Family members are waiting. The women talk about how they left before Nikoui heckled Biden because they couldn’t take listening to Biden any longer. Everything that happened at Abbey Gate was foreseeable, even without military training. Common sense tells us this. It is adding insult to the families of the thirteen killed and even more grievously wounded that Biden has never been held accountable. Nor Milley. Nor Austin. Nor any of the Pampered Princes of the Pentagon. To all the Gold and Silver Star families. We remember and we honor. Featured Image: Department of Defense/X/cropped/Public Domain
Kevin says: “Vietnam Veterans of America is a non-partisan, war-time veterans’ membership and service organization that does not endorse or support political candidates at any level. “However, we cannot remain silent when a Gold Star family member is being publicly denigrated, ” said John Rowan, National President of Vietnam Veterans of America. “It is especially reprehensible when that individual is seeking to become the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of our nation. To lash out and disparage a family whose son gave his life defending this country is both shocking and disgraceful, ” said Rowan. And though Trump may never have spent a day in uniform, his disdain for the sacrifice of this young man and all who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our Constitution is singularly un-American.”
Biden had nothing to do with him being removed or charged. One would assume he knew what was going to happen when he started heckling the President during the SOTU.
So now, justify the disgraceful and disgusting remarks your Golden Calf makes against military members. The above is just one comment … there are too many to print.
Darleen Click says: You poor dear. I know, just another feces drop and run. How much fiber have you consumed today to do this?
Maybe the speech-while-under-the-influence-of-a-controlled-substance Creepy Joe didn’t directly cause the arrest, but he is DIRECTLY responsible for Kareem’s unnecessary slaughter. Indeed, Biden couldn’t even control his behavior when Kareem and the other 12 dead military members were brought home — he fidgeted and looked at his watch.
Oh yeah, Obama’s meat puppet’s behavior is just a fine and dandy for a President, eh?
BTW, were you this annoyed when John Kerry was making “disparaging and disgusting” remarks about the military in 2006?
Yeah, sure. Drop another load, dude.
Cameron says: BTW, were you this annoyed when John Kerry was making “disparaging and disgusting” remarks about the military in 2006?
He was probably about 8 or 9 back then so I’ll cut him a bit of slack.
Cameron says: You always come here to bark orders at the people who run this blog to write things you like. And that’s one of the many reasons we mock you.
Mad Celt says: If we keep ourselves out of foreign conflicts which do not pertain to us or our so called interests then incidents like this young man’s death would not occur. He would not have died in vain for war hungry politicians and the MIC to enrich themselves at their expense. This may sound callous but since Viet Nam Americans have Bern dying in pointless wars while politicians have gotten filthy rich egging these endless wars on.
Cameron says: In all fairness, his arrest is hardly a surprise. And he knew what the consequences would be. That’s what civil disobedience truly is.
