🇺🇬 These Christian evangelists were beaten, cut, and stoned to death. "Today we’re out to kill you to prove the power of Allah," the killers said. This is justice, and is what we call an absolute win.

She is trying to make us forget that she took the job of an actually qualified black woman by saying that she hired her own
I’m proud to have the most talented, hardest-working cabinet in Virginia’s history. They are also the most diverse cabinet Virginia has ever seen. Every single one of our cabinet secretaries were selected because they’re the best of the best in their respective fields. They also bring invaluable perspectives from across the Commonwealth — from Danville, Hampton Roads, Richmond, NOVA, and more. I’m grateful to get to work with these incredibly dedicated, hard-working, and talented cabinet officials to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia. richmond.com/opinion/column/…

🇮🇳 Three Christian families in India were assaulted and forced to participate in pagan “purification” rituals over three days because of their faith in Jesus Christ. Nobody has been arrested. Christian persecution continues with impunity.

In Nigeria's Middle Belt, a Christian farming village saw 60 armed Fulani militants approaching at 7pm and called police & the army for help. At 9pm they were overrun. Only 3 soldiers were there. Attackers went door to door in Gero village, Plateau State. 7 killed. Locals say this happens almost every week. This is what persecution looks like in Nigeria.

Six young Christians in Egypt have been released after spending more than two weeks in prison for sharing a TikTok post that authorities deemed offensive to Islam. They continue to face charges of “exploiting” and “insulting” religion. Article | thecatholicherald.com/articl…

FARM ATTACK: Another South African farmer attacked and brutally tortured on his farm this week. Cattle farmer, Donovan Marx, from the North West province, had his ears cut off on Wednesday morning during a farm attack. He was also shot in the shoulder and stabbed (with a sharp object) in the leg. And, for the umpteenth time, as far as I can determine, not a single article on any English media platform about it. This gross coverage disparity between the Afrikaans and English media when it comes to farm murders is what makes it possible for so many politicians and commentators to get away with their disgusting farm murder denialism. You know what's even more infuriating? History and research shows, if the victim was black and the torturers were white, we would see this story on every front page and news channel for weeks. Debates, panel discussions, political party statements - the works! The president would even come out and condemn the attack. Again, I refuse to accept the twisted, psychopathic standard that dismisses a farmer having his ears cut off as "just normal crime."

This is how the terrorists in northern Nigeria treat a Muslim leader who preaches peace, religious freedom, and unity between Muslims and Christians.

This illegal alien is @60Minutes poster child for what it claims are wrongful deportations. I pulled his file. His claimed reason for fearing Mali was that he is “gay,” just in case you’re wondering how bad the immigration fraud problem is.
“It feels really empty without him,” says 16-year-old Corey Diawara, whose father was deported in July. His father had lived in the U.S. for 25 years and had no criminal record. Moussa Diawara says he was deported without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge. He was eventually sent to Mali, a country a U.S. immigration judge ruled he could not be deported to. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security told 60 Minutes that Ghana had provided the U.S. with “diplomatic assurances for his safety.” DHS also questioned the credibility of Diawara’s arguments for fearing persecution in Mali. cbsn.ws/4etdVdW

Hey Mark! We know Israel’s influence on American politics is a major issue. Everyday Americans want to know why their tax dollars are being spent overseas, funding foreign wars, and that's not going to change no matter how hard you try to ignore it. So we’ll keep covering it. Unlike certain media outlets (like the one you work for), we won't pretend questions about foreign influence don't exist. We’re digging into the money, the political connections, and the decisions that put American interests on the line. We don't ignore the fact that 94% of Congressional Lawmakers accept foreign money. Or that Israel dragged the U.S. into a 10-month war costing Americans billions of dollars. Anyone who's interested in any of our 2,617 pieces mentioning Israel should head over to our site at Dailycaller.com to check them out for themselves. They're not too shabby. And a shout-out to @EFischberger for taking the time to highlight our work. Journalism can be a thankless profession, so it’s always nice to know someone’s reading. This is just the beginning. We’ll keep asking the questions, following the money, and holding the people in power accountable, regardless of how much they squirm.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. 🇮🇩 Indonesian Muslims use paperwork, protests, and threats of violence to stop Christians from worshipping in their churches and even their own homes.

It was the death of this LDS couple that encouraged me to review all 26 other Americans that have died to illegal immigrant truck drivers since 2025. These trucking carriers profited off exploited immigrant labor and Billy and Jenny paid the price. Read my report below ⬇️
Nearly one year ago, newlyweds Billy and Jenny were killed by an illegal alien driving a commercial truck. He should never have been in the United States in the first place, let alone behind the wheel. He entered the U.S. illegally in 2022, was released under Biden, and received work authorization and a non-domiciled commercial driver’s license in California. Billy and Jenny had been married just 16 days when their lives were tragically taken from them. Their families, along with countless other Angel Families, have been left with unimaginable loss. Loss that was preventable. This is our why.

🇬🇧🇪🇺 The Europeans are coming for your free speech, and they aren’t letting the Constitution or borders get in the way. I spoke with attorneys @prestonjbyrne and @Jeremy_Tedesco leading the charge against the UK and EU. Here’s what Americans need to know ⬇️
