[KhaamaPress] A former U.S. Army interpreter in Afghanistan, Abdul Rahman Niazi, was killed in Texas, leaving behind five young children.
Media outlets in the United States have reported the murder of an Afghan interpreter who had worked with U.S. forces in Afghanistan. The incident took place in his office in Houston, Texas.
The Afghan interpreter, Abdul Rahman Niazi, was reportedly stabbed to death. Local news outlet KHOU 11 News confirmed the details of the incident, which occurred on Thursday, March 27.
According to reports, the police arrested a man named Masihullah Sahil in connection with the murder, and the suspect has confessed to the crime. The motive behind the murder remains unclear at this point.
Abdul Rahman Niazi, who lost both of his legs in a bomb explosion in Afghanistan two years ago, had recently established an office in Texas to assist Afghan refugees. His work was highly valued within the community. The United States resettled Niazi as a refugee in Houston in 2014.
The incident has shocked many, especially given that Niazi had been helping others after overcoming his own hardships. Sources reveal that he leaves behind five children, all under the age of 10.
As the investigation continues, questions remain about the reasons behind the killing. Authorities are expected to provide more information as they progress in their inquiries.
Abdul Niazi was stabbed to death in his West Houston office on March 26, 2025.
Niazi, known for helping Afghan immigrants in Houston, had previously assisted the accused killer, Masiullah Sahil, who later admitted the crime during a phone call with Niazi’s wife.
Niazi’s family is seeking justice and has set up a GoFundMe to support his wife and four children following his tragic death.
A double amputee who worked alongside the U.S. Marine Corps was brutally stabbed to death in his office in West Houston, according to the victim’s family.
They’re now searching for answers after a shocking phone call.
The brutal crime
The backstory
Abdul Niazi, a 34-year-old father of four, was killed March 26 in an attack at his office on Harwin Drive.
Police arrested and charged Masiullah Sahil, 37, with murder in the case.
A war hero
His family describe Niazi, a war hero who served for the U.S. in Afghanistan, as an interpreter. They say he lost both of his legs in combat, but had dedicated his life to helping Afghan immigrants find stability in Houston.
"He deserved books written about him, he was a hell of a man," said Niazi’s nephew, who doesn’t wish to share his name.
Niazi, who had spent his life helping others despite his own injuries, was known throughout the community for his kindness and selflessness. He spent much of his time offering assistance to underprivileged immigrants, many of whom did not speak English.
The suspect's connection
"He literally helped thousands of people around Houston, a lot of them underprivileged. The killer was like that as well," his nephew explained.
"My uncle helped him a lot of times, with his own money and time," the nephew added.
The phone call
Following the stabbing, records say Sahil took Niazi’s phone and answered it when Niazi’s wife called. During the call, Sahil admitted to the killing, according to records and Niazi’s family. His nephew says Niazi’s young son was also on the call when Sahil told them Niazi had been sent to the "afterlife."
"The mother called him to come and eat, and the man said, ‘We have sent him to the afterlife,’" the nephew said. "One of Niazi’s sons was also on the line and was traumatized by what he heard."
Niazi’s family is still reeling from the senseless loss, struggling to understand why Sahil, who Niazi had helped so many times, would commit such a violent act.
"I want the man to be held accountable as soon as possible. It’s completely unacceptable," the nephew said.
What you can do
As the family mourns, they have set up a GoFundMe page to help support Niazi's wife and children during this difficult time. The family is asking the community to come together and provide any assistance they can.

The killer said that the processing of his refugee status was taking too long, so he killed the guy. Not joking here.

Biden’s State Dept was full of Pro-Taliban folks that did not leave after Trump’s inauguration. They continue to import Taliban folks and give them money. If Congress cuts of the weekly millions that are propping up the Taliban government, we are going to see this type of domestic issue get out of hand fast along with the leftist traitors claiming that we are starving Afghans. In reality, very little of our aid money is reaching the non-Taliban affiliated people. Those few resources that reach the poor are not coming with an American message. They are being presented as Taliban largesse.

[Epoch Times] Of roughly 1,650 readers who completed the poll,
…so self-selected volunteers, a severely skewed sample which severely skews the results…
which was released on March 27, more than 1,200 individuals—75 percent—said they were weighing a move abroad.
“Ya know, Soozie, now would be a good time to do that sabbatical in Copenhagen that we were discussing during Covid…”
The responses, collected in early March through Nature’s website, social media, and newsletter, reflect growing unease across the scientific community following major changes to U.S. science funding, staffing, and research priorities, according to the survey results.
Anyone who leaves is someone we don’t want anyway.
Another respondent, a physician-scientist at a major U.S. university, said when his National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant was canceled, he reached out to colleagues in Canada. He and his wife, also a scientist, are now seeking positions there.
Good luck with that, guys, truly. The odds aren’t in your favour, given the relative sizes of the respective scientific/academic establishments, but if you are eminent in your fields — and highly connected — you might have a shot at a post-doc position on someone else’s team, especially if you’re good at getting large grants. Recall all the Soviet Jewish scientists who escaped to Israel, where many drove cabs and such to survive. You can drive, right?…
Institutions abroad appear to be responding to the wave of dislocation. The physician-scientist said universities in other countries are seeing the disruption in the United States as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" to attract American talent.
Not all scientists expressed interest in leaving. Some respondents said U.S. institutions still offer the best research facilities. Others said they want to stay to support their students and labs for as long as possible. I suppose a lot of scientists left the country when the Superconducting Super Collider was cancelled. How did we ever recover?

75% of the readers of Nature is not a representative sample of scientists, nor will the majority of the leftists actually leave. Celebrities “leaving” are either lying or announcing a vacation. Unlike Ellen, most “scientists” don’t have the option to ditch their tenured faculty positions to move to one of their many overseas properties, although some might have a retirement plan to move to someplace like Belize. It’s a win all around if they go. Cleaning up academia will not be quick or fun.

They likely selected 1,650 based on liberal political leanings (College & Big Pharm) of the estimated 55,000+/-(2020 data), that exist in the USA.
As I interpreted it, NN2N1, a notice or brief article was inserted in that issue of the journal with a link to an on-line survey — possibly one of those something-Monkey ones — and 1650 unvetted, self-selected readers volunteered themselves and did it. There would have been no balancing of traits to get a representative sample even of Nature readers, since they would have come only directly from the website, unavailable to those reading the paper version unless they saw it on the page, turned on their internet access device, opened the website, and scrolled through to find the link —an awful lot of effort for an impulse activity.
And historically, this set-up attracts participation from those who feel strongest on the subject, and generally from only those for the proposition. Those against it won’t waste their time.

The physicists I knew who were developing projects for the SSC generally started working on projects for the LHC the day word got out about the cancellation. (I don't know of any who tried to come back to Fermilab experiments, but there may have been some.) It wasn't ideal, but the LHC was going to get built (albeit behind schedule). They didn't leave the country--most of the development work was done at the university level, and the USA became a partner.
However.
I have observed that for happenings outside their fields of expertise, most physicists trust the same panic-mongering news sources as the rest of academia. (Call it rational ignorance if you like--you only get 24 hours in a day; do you want to spend a free hour on news sites or on spin glasses?) It would not surprise me to learn that some of the foreign-born researchers were worried.
The un-tenured, facing uncertainty, might think that a smaller but relatively secure prospect in Canada is better than a bigger and riskier (will the grant go away before the research is done?) task here. Family concerns play a role too.
But that a tenured physician scientist, whose wife is also a scientist, is looking to move? That's either an amazingly severe TDS case, or a leg-pull.

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

Myanmar's military chief says 1,700 people have been killed following a huge 7.7 magnitude earthquake on Friday
A fresh earthquake, with a magnitude of 5.1, has been recorder near to Mandalay - the country's second largest city
The UN warns a severe shortage of medical supplies is hampering the response to the disaster, as the search for survivors continues in Myanmar and Thailand
Rescuers are working to find those trapped under rubble at the site of a collapsed high-rise in Bangkok, as the death toll across the city has risen to 17 with 83 people missing
In war-torn Myanmar, the National Unity Government (NUG) - which is in exile - announced a "two-week pause in offensive military operations" in areas affected by the earthquake

[Regnum] An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.1 occurred 19 km from the capital of Myanmar, Naypyidaw. This was reported on March 29 by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center.
The tremors were recorded at around 12:20 Moscow time. They occurred at a depth of about 10 km.
There were no reports of damage to buildings or casualties from the new earthquake.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, a strong earthquake occurred in Myanmar on the morning of March 28. Its magnitude was between 7.7 and 7.9. Eleven minutes after the first, a second earthquake occurred with a magnitude of 6.4.
The tremors were also felt in Thailand, China, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Vietnam. The earthquake in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, was classified as a major disaster. In particular, a skyscraper under construction in the city collapsed. There were no reports of injured Russian tourists.
In Myanmar, an earthquake has caused destruction across almost the entire country. Many residential buildings, administrative buildings, schools and hospitals have collapsed. People are still being searched for under the rubble. Underground oil pipelines and power lines have also been damaged. Authorities have reported that more than 1,000 people have died and over 2,300 people have been injured as a result of the earthquake.
Local doctors reported on March 28 that the wounded continue to arrive, while medical facilities do not have enough doctors and nurses to provide care to all the victims.
On the evening of March 28, on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, two planes with Russian rescuers flew to Myanmar to help eliminate the consequences of the earthquake. Putin expressed condolences to Myanmar Prime Minister Min Aung Hlaing.

[Regnum] Eyewitnesses shared footage of a partial solar eclipse in different regions of Russia, including Moscow, Kaliningrad, Kazan, Murmansk and Apatity, on social networks.
It is noted that the eclipse began at 11:52 Moscow time at sunrise in the central zone of the Atlantic Ocean. In the Russian Federation, this phenomenon was best seen in the northern and northwestern regions. The peak of the astronomical phenomenon occurred between 14:00 and 15:00 Moscow time.
In Moscow, the Moon covered the Sun by only 2%, in St. Petersburg - by 15%. The eclipse was best seen in Murmansk - there the Sun hid by almost 30%, TASS quoted Lyudmila Koshman, head of the Moscow Planetarium's methodological support department.
Previously, a total solar eclipse was observed on April 8, 2024. For some residents of the Earth, the Moon completely blocked the Sun and cast a shadow on the surface of the planet, the width of which was 198 km. Residents of Mexico were able to observe the peak of the eclipse - for them, the sunlight dimmed for 4 minutes 28 seconds. This happened at 21:17 Moscow time in the north of the country.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, in August 2024, the Earth began a supermoon period. The Moscow Planetarium published footage that captured the shades of the August full moon. The peak of this phenomenon was at 21:29 Moscow time on August 19. The supermoon is a period that coincides with the full moon and the maximum proximity of the moon to the Earth, it lasts up to three days.
Self-deporting, as predicted. Just like last time President Trump was in office — but it happened much faster this time around.
[Breitbart] A growing number of illegal migrants are smuggling themselves out of the United States to avoid the legal penalties of government deportations, according to multiple witnesses.
“I’ve been a journalist for more than 25 years, but I never thought I would see this — ‘paquetes de retorno'” said Alfredo Corchado, an American journalist in Texas and Mexico and an executive editor at the Puente News Collaborative.
On March 26 he told an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations:
[Coyotes] are now offering packages where [migrant] people can go back home …. [If] you want to go home, or you want to go back to Honduras, or maybe you don’t want to go back to Honduras because it’s too dangerous. [Or] you don’t want to go to Guatemala, but maybe you want to go to Costa Rica, and so they’re offering these [smuggling] packages where you can just go back home. Not all of them are taking it, I mean, many [are].
If migrants are deported by the United States government, they are separated from their families and detained in crowded jails, sometimes for many weeks. Once legally deported, migrants cannot visit for 10 years or longer, even when their relatives remain in the United States. They also lose possessions and easy access to their bank accounts.
Haitians “are self-deporting right now because they don’t want the worst thing … because [the government] does send them back to Haiti immediately,” Jeff Lamour, an American businessman in Albertville, Alabama, told Breitbart News on Friday.
Many Haitians have moved to Albertville for jobs once held by Americans in the chicken slaughterhouses. They got work permits from Biden’s deputies but are now losing them to Trump’s pro-American policies.
Lamour added:
This [self-deporting] industry with the coyotes, it has become a multi-million dollar industry over here now. You got those guys that are going from Indiana, from Alabama, in those vans where they’re smuggling people to New Mexico, to border states.
They’re making a ton of money. If they go deposit money at the bank, it’s going to raise a red flag. You know, I had a gentleman a couple days ago trying to buy a car with cash, straight cash. He just don’t know what to do with it because he has a lot of cash from the shuttle industry.
Smugglers “charge them $10,000 per head because a lot of people that are working are saving their money,” Lamour told told 1819News.com. “A lot of people are going back to Chile,” where they were living before Biden opened the border.
Other Haitians are going into hiding, for example, by selling their cars to minimize the chance of any interaction with local police, he said:
I sell cars for a living. I have my mechanic sitting next to me right there. He can tell you, as my witness — did we not have a guy come over here, return his car, because he’s scared to be deported? I had guys selling their car for $500 just so they won’t be deported. We see that every day.
One local migrant “crossed from Brazil all the way to the United States,” Lamour told Breitbart News, adding:
His wife and kids died in the [Darien Gap], and he had to leave them behind because he had to survive and save himself. Once he arrived in Mexico, he had to literally stay at the gay bathhouse [to avoid robbers, before he] made it over here through a Catholic charity.
So far, the exit numbers are small compared to the resident population of roughly 18 million illegal migrants, of whom roughly 9 million were invited by President Joe Biden’s deputies.
The New York Times acknowledged the trend:
Since arriving in Denver in 2023, Cristian, 29, has delivered meals and worked on construction sites. (Like other migrants I interviewed, he worried that immigration agents would find him and spoke on the condition that I identify him only by his given name.) He sends money to his wife and children in Venezuela. Cristian does not have any tattoos, a customary gang indicator, he said. He possesses a work permit and an active asylum application, which theoretically protects him from imminent deportation.
But the enforcement climate since Trump took office has changed Cristian’s calculus “360 degrees,” he told me. With the help of an American friend who escorted him to several immigration offices, he made an appointment to appear before a judge today so he could request a voluntary departure from the United States. (Immigrants who receive formal permission to leave have an easier time returning later.)
…
A family in Chicago recently left for Mexico, according to their lawyer. People have abandoned Springfield, Ohio — the town where Trump claimed Haitians were eating their pets — employers there told me. Others are contemplating leaving from elsewhere, like Houston.
South of the border, northbound migrants are also turning back homewards. “It is true that people are going different directions,” Caleb Vitello, a senior official in Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, told the Council on Foreign Relations. For example, the northward foot and boat traffic in the dangerous Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama has dropped “because people aren’t risking that walk or that dangerous journey through there,” he said.

It's a beef and arable farm, with a few lambs and pigs for their meat business selling to local customers.
With some farmers angry with the government over inheritance tax rules and changes to farm payments, why would a young person want to stay in the industry these days?
"At school, we weren't encouraged to go into farming. It's such a shame," said Bridgette.
"Everyone thought: 'Oh, you're clever enough to do something else.'
"People don't think farmers are clever, but it's the most complicated job. You have got to be really intelligent to be a farmer."

[Breitbart] The price of eggs has taken a sharp plunge as Americans have watched the cost of the grocery staple shift downward since mid-February, Axios reported Friday.
The drop in prices comes as the nation has been grappling with a bird flu outbreak that has affected egg prices and farmers, per Breitbart News.
According to the Axios report, “The average wholesale price of a dozen eggs was $3 Friday, down 8% from $3.27 on March 21, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data released Friday.”
“It’s down 63% from a record $8.15 in the Feb. 21 report,” the article reads. “Inventories are recovering amid a sudden and largely unexplained slowdown in bird flu cases. The Trump administration has also taken steps to boost egg imports to combat higher prices.”
Earlier this month, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) told Breitbart News, “We have to protect our farmers,” when speaking about what the bird flu did to egg prices and farmers across the nation.
He also mentioned Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins:
“Again, you’re talking to somebody that just hates regulations, but well, because it’s here, because of some unreasonable regulations that allowed this to happen, we need to protect the people against this, and then again, be able to protect for eggs,” he said, calling for protections of American farmers as well.
“I saw Brooke Rollins, and I’m a big fan of hers, and we’re getting ready to import hundreds and hundreds of thousands of eggs, and you know, that’s fine, but it needs to be a short period of time, because we have to protect our farmers here,” he added.
When asked on March 21 what she would say to Americans struggling to afford eggs, Rollins said prices have been trending downward for approximately three weeks, per News Nation.
“We released a pretty massive, bold plan about three and a half weeks ago including biosecurity measures, repopulating the chickens much more quickly, deregulating, getting government off the back of our poultry producers, importing eggs. We’ve been bringing in eggs from Turkey and South Korea, we’ve got another couple of countries we talked to yesterday to try to get supplies back up while we repopulate the chickens that were affected by avian bird flu,” she explained:

[Breitbart] Four people were injured, including two seriously, following a stabbing incident in the central Norwegian city of Trondheim.
Trondheim police said that there were two women and three men aged between 20 and 40-years-old involved in a mass stabbing in the city on Saturday. Four people, including the alleged attacker, were injured during the knife altercation.
A family fight or ethnic — probably Moslem colonist — gangs?
Police attorney Silje Flack Bergby told public broadcaster NRK that two of the four stabbing were injured seriously, however, they are no longer in life threatening condition.
“We have control over all those involved. There is currently one accused in the case. We will assess the others’ role continuously. It is a bit unclear the sequence of events now,” Flack Bergby said.
Police taskforce leader Lars Erik Aftret Nilsen said that it is likely that those involved had a previously relationship, likely indicating that terrorism was not the motivating factor behind the incident.
“We arrived quickly at the scene together with the ambulance and medical personnel. It is still early in the investigation phase, but we believe we have the situation under control,” he said.
At the time of reporting, police have not released any information concerning the background of the suspected perpetrator or the victims
The attack happened on this saturday in Møllenberg, a usually calm residential area. According to reports, the violence broke out between five people—two women and three men—all believed to be between the ages of 20 and 40. One of the injured is thought to be the attacker himself.
Authorities have also revealed that the man believed to be responsible is around 40 years old and has a previous conviction for serious assault.
[FoxBusinessNews] $100B a year in EU investments in Texas in jeopardy, EU ambassador to US says
The tariff wars continued to snowball this week after President Donald Trump said he would impose a 25% tariff on all imported automobiles and parts, on top of the existing tariffs already in place on the European Union, Canada, Mexico and China.
International leaders pushing back on the tariffs have repeatedly warned it will be not only be citizens in their nations that will pay the price, but American consumers, workers and small businesses.
And Texas could find itself the state most harmed by the emerging trade wars. I thought it was: "World ends. Women and Children hardest hit"?
"Texas is the biggest trading partner in the whole U.S. for the European Union. The European Union invested in Texas more than $300 billion," EU Ambassador to the U.S. Jovita Neliupšienė told Fox News Digital.
The ambassador confirmed that, in terms of trade in goods and services, the EU invests $100 billion a year.
"Because of this trade and investment, 300,000 people are employed only because of the EU," Neliupšienė said.
"And if we look even deeper, if you look at how much people are paid in those jobs, and if you compare other foreign investors in Texas or across the country, you would see that European companies, European-invested companies, usually produce better paid [jobs] on average."
It remains unclear what the broader effect will be after Trump imposed steel and aluminum tariffs on the EU, coupled with potential reciprocal tariffs.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and senators John Cornyn or Ted Cruz did not respond to Fox News Digital’s questions about how Texans could be among Americans most harmed by tariff wars.
The White House, however, told Fox News Digital, "Tariffs are a critical piece of President Trump’s America First economic agenda, but just one piece."
"The Trump administration is also slashing regulations, unleashing American energy and pushing tax cuts for everyday Americans, including the president’s call for a new tax deduction for American-made cars," White House spokesman Kush Desai said.
"Lower gas prices and a positive February jobs report, which included 10,000 new manufacturing jobs, are indicative of how President Trump is unleashing historic economic, job, wage and investment growth for the American people with no inflation – just as he did in his first term."
In the short term, Neliupšienė said Trump's tariffs will have an immediate effect on costs and pointed to one of the smallest and most affordable products found across the U.S. — nails.
The ambassador explained that when every single nail has a 25% increase in its price, that cost doesn’t just get passed on to consumers. It will raise construction costs across the board. The cost of development projects will then go up, which means the cost to rent office spaces, apartments or the purchase of a new build will increase, a factor that will have resounding consequences across multiple sectors.
Neliupšienė said a tariff battle that played out in 2018 during the first Trump administration on steel and aluminum meant the EU ended up importing nearly a third less of its products from the U.S.
[Red State] If you feel there’s something different about the second Trump administration, you’re not alone: many have noted that he and his team have brought a more focused, more effective, and frankly more seasoned effort than the first time the incredibly successful real estate mogul and reality television star was able to bring during his first go at the job.
He had four long years to study, and boy, did he learn. Not only did he come in with guns blazing—and a multitude of ready-to-go executive orders undoing the disastrous policies and anti-American vision of the Biden administration—but he had an all-star lineup of Cabinet members ready to be confirmed.
It’s been one of the most stunning political spectacles we've ever seen—or even read about.
Many of the people behind the scenes don’t get a ton of press, though, yet they've been crucial to his recent successes, and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is one of them. She gave a rare interview to the president’s daughter-in-law and Fox News Contributor Lara Trump on "My View" on Saturday and described how she approached her role:
"I see my job as just sort of keeping the trains on the tracks and running on time here, so that the subject-matter experts — and particularly the president and the vice president — can do what they need to do to fix the country," she said Saturday on "My View with Lara Trump."
She added Trump was "ready to hit the ground running" after having four years to consider his agenda between his first and second terms.
And she’s not obsessing over her gender or her sexual identity the way it seems almost every Democrat candidate does: she’s here on her merits. She’s a human being doing her job, not a check on a form:
Mercury Public Affairs, where Wiles was co-chair, does have a history of lobbying for pharmaceutical clients, including Pfizer and Gilead Sciences, as well as other industries like junk food companies (e.g., Kellogg’s, Kraft-Heinz, and Nestlé). However, lobbying disclosure records do not list Wiles as the individual lobbyist for these specific clients.
Based on the concrete data available, no direct link ties Wiles to pharmaceutical companies as a lobbyist. The narrative appears driven more by her firm’s clientele than her personal actions.
Tut, tut, my good man! Junk food is so pejorative. They prefer to think of themselves as the fabricated snack industry.
Trump's big mistake first time around was thinking he was in charge. It is a common mistake with business people who go into politics. (see Ross Perot) When you are the boss, you tell people what to do and they do it. The size and recalcitrance of what we now call the Deep State was a surprise. This time around, Trump seems better prepared.
