Iran Appears to be Preparing for Trump to Follow Through with Threat

The Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Economic Zone in southwest Iran has been evacuated amid threats by President Donald Trump to bomb Iranian energy infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.

The zone’s public relations office said all personnel was ordered to evacuate by the region’s emergency command committee, Iran International reported.

Trump’s threats came amid Tehran’s reluctance to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He set a Tuesday night deadline before warning of dire consequences. (Read more from “Iran Appears to be Preparing for Trump to Follow Through with Threat” HERE)

New Study: Trans Kids Are Much More Likely To Suffer Crisis After Transition

Brace yourself for a shock, but pediatric sexual mutilation may not cause happiness.

A study published on April 4 in the Nordic medical journal Acta Paediatrica shows that adolescents who are medically “transitioned” into a new gender identity become far more likely to spiral down into psychological crisis. The paper, “Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Contacted Specialised Gender Identity Services in Finland in 1996–2019: A Register Study,” uses a feature of Finland’s unique hybrid medical system to track outcomes following pediatric sex change procedures: each citizen has “an 11-digit personal identification number” for medical purposes. Medical care for citizens is closely tracked through a system of databases:

The Finnish Population Information System contains current personal data on all residents. Since 1994, the National Institute for Health and Welfare has maintained the Care Register for Health Care (CRHC), which documents healthcare visits by Finnish residents, including diagnoses, procedures, and medical speciality codes. The Social Insurance Institution (SII) of Finland records prescription medication purchases, while the causes of death register maintained by Statistics Finland documents residents’ causes and times of death.

Researchers used diagnostic and procedural codes to find adolescents who transitioned, then tracked what psychiatric services they needed after their sex change procedures, comparing their need for psychiatric intervention to a control group of adolescents who didn’t receive sex change procedures.

Result: “Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up — rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment.” (Read more from “New Study: Trans Kids Are Much More Likely To Suffer Crisis After Transition” HERE)

Intelligent Alien Life is out There — and its Technology Could Destroy us in a Microsecond, Researchers Claim

Alien experts claim powerful extraterrestrial life exists in the universe, which is beyond the control of any government — and could wipe out life on earth.

Following Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett’s revelation last week that Americans would be “up at night worrying,” if they were privy to the things he has been briefed about UFOs — prominent researchers on the subject claim the government is keeping secrets for a reason.

“[Extraterrestrials] have the technology and power to overcome our technology and power,” Dr. Don Donderi, a retired McGill University professor, and longtime researcher into UFO phenomena, told The Post.

“The informed public knows that the UFOs exist, that UFOs are advanced machines we don’t know how to make, and that they’re operated by intelligences that are superior technically,” added Donderi, who is also a psychologist who studied human perception as well as an author of two books about extraterrestrials.

He claimed his lifelong research suggests alien technology is so advanced it could annihilate the human race in a microsecond, and warned humanity has no defense.

“No human institution of any size or shape, from local council to the United Nations, has any kind of technical response that would prevent extraterrestrials from doing what they like on Earth or with us. We’re potentially at their mercy.” he said. (Read more from “Intelligent Alien Life is out There — and its Technology Could Destroy us in a Microsecond, Researchers Claim” HERE)

Prosecutors Offer ‘Insane’ Plea Deal to Illegal Aliens Convicted of Murder

Prosecutors in Fairfax County, Virginia, offered an “insane” plea deal to two illegal aliens charged in a vicious mob-style murder, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials say.

Last week, the Fairfax County District Attorney’s Office offered a 5-year plea deal to illegal aliens Maldin Anibal Guzman-Videz and Luis Alonzo Sort-Portillo, both of whom were convicted of murdering Nicacio Hernandez Gonzalez in July 2024 at a park in Oakton, Virginia.

“This 5-year sweetheart plea deal for murder is insane,” DHS’s Lauren Bis said:

This is yet another example of Fairfax sanctuary politicians siding with criminal illegal aliens over U.S. citizens. We are calling on Fairfax Country sanctuary politicians and Governor Abigail Spanberger to commit to not releasing these murderers from jail back into our communities. How many more times must they release criminals into our neighborhoods to create more innocent victims?

A federal immigration judge ordered Guzman-Videz deported in 2019, but he remained in the United States anyway. He was later arrested for assault, failure to appear, larceny, obstruction of justice, and malicious wounding after he allegedly robbed a Greek family restaurant and assaulted a person with a knife.

NASA Astronaut Shares Gospel Message Before Losing Signal with Earth

NASA astronaut and pilot for the Artemis II mission, Victor Glover, shared the Gospel and teachings of Jesus Christ, moments before losing signal with Earth as he and the other astronauts reached the dark side of the Moon.

Glover shared that as he, and the three other astronauts, Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, got closer “to the nearest point to the Moon, and farthest point from Earth,” he wanted to remind people of one of the “most important mysteries” on Earth, love.

Glover shared how Jesus Christ said that the “greatest command” was to “love God with all that you are,” and added that the second greatest commandment is for people “to love your neighbor as yourself.”

Matthew 22:36-40 shares that Jesus stated the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Jesus also adds that the second greatest commandment is to “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

“As we go on this journey, thinking about the NASA mission to explore the unknown in air and space, to innovate for the benefit of humanity, and to inspire the world through discovery, and as you’ve gone along on this journey with us — hopefully we’re doing just those things,” Glover stated. “And, as we get close to the nearest point to the Moon, and farthest point from Earth, as we continue to unlock the mysteries of the Cosmos, I would like to remind you of one of the most important mysteries there on Earth — and that’s love.”

Easter Egg Hunt Tragedy Leaves Young Mother, Her Baby and Teenager Dead

Three people were killed, including a 10-month-old girl, after high winds toppled a tree in Germany during an Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning, according to authorities.

Around 50 people from a nearby residential facility for new mothers, pregnant women and children were attending the egg hunt in a wooded area near the town of Satrupholm at about 11 a.m. when a 100-foot tree fell on top of them, police said in a statement.

Four people became pinned under the tree, police said.

First responders arrived at the scene and first began treating a 21-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl, but both died at the scene.

The woman’s 10-month-old daughter also later died at the hospital. (Read more from “Easter Egg Hunt Tragedy Leaves Young Mother, Her Baby and Teenager Dead” HERE)

Trump Drops F Bomb In Easter Sunday Threat Against Iran

President Donald Trump delivered a profane warning to the Islamic Republic of Iran Saturday, demanding the theocratic regime cease its efforts to close a vital maritime shipping lane.

Trump previously delayed strikes on Iranian power plants, citing progress on talks made after he issued a March 21 ultimatum to Iran in a post on Truth Social. Trump has since warned Iran of another 48-hour deadline to make a deal. . .

Trump posted a similar warning on Saturday, as efforts to rescue the weapons systems officer of a downed F-15E Strike Eagle were underway. The missing weapons officer was rescued from inside Iran early Sunday in a daring operation. . .

The Strait of Hormuz is critical to global energy markets, as around 25% of seaborne oil transportation pass through the narrow sea passage. Energy prices across the globe have skyrocketed since Iran closed the strait to all but a few vessels. (Read more from “Trump Drops F Bomb In Easter Sunday Threat Against Iran” HERE)

Gunfire Reported Overnight Near White House

The Secret Service launched an investigation after shots rang out near the White House late Saturday night while President Donald Trump was inside the executive mansion for the Easter weekend.

Officers rushed to the area surrounding Lafayette Park just after midnight on Sunday following reports of gunfire, the Secret Service said in a statement obtained by CBS News. A sweep of the park and nearby streets turned up no suspect, and no one was injured, the agency said. Investigators are now hunting for a vehicle and a person of interest while coordinating with U.S. Park Police and the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department.

Trump was at the White House overnight per his official schedule, WTOP reported. The agency’s chief of communications, Anthony Guglielmi, said in an X post that security around the executive mansion had been reinforced, but day-to-day operations continued without interruption. Several blocks in Northwest D.C. were temporarily sealed off, including portions of H Street, I Street, and 16th Street, according to WTOP. Those restrictions were lifted before 8:30 a.m.

Artemis II Makes Historic Moon Sighting as Crew Preps for Highly-Anticipated Lunar Flyby

The Artemis II astronauts saw a side of the moon never before seen by human eyes over the weekend — but it was just an appetizer for their historic lunar flyby expected to begin Monday afternoon.

Orientale basin — a huge, black impact crater on the far side of the moon — came into full view of Artemis II on Saturday, with the crew beaming back stunning photos of the formation as they hurtled through space about 200,000 miles from Earth.

“In this new image from our @NASAArtemis II crew, you can see Orientale basin on the right edge of the lunar disk,” NASA wrote while sharing the photo in a Sunday X post.

“This mission marks the first time the entire basin has been seen with human eyes,” the space agency hailed.

“History in the making.” (Read more from “Artemis II Makes Historic Moon Sighting as Crew Preps for Highly-Anticipated Lunar Flyby” HERE)

Christians Exclaim ‘He Is Risen’ on Easter Sunday: Here’s Why It’s So Meaningful

Christians around the world celebrate Jesus of Nazareth’s resurrection on Easter Sunday, almost 2,000 years after he died and was raised from the dead just three days later.

The exclamation “He is risen” is thrown around so much during the Easter holiday. But what does it mean? Why is the grisly image of the cross of Calvary so revered by Christians?

Most are aware of the story of Jesus being crucified on Good Friday and emerging from his tomb after three days. But Christians believe the meaning of his resurrection is much more significant than merely showcasing divine power over death.

The Gospels tell us two followers of Jesus went to his tomb early the morning of the Sabbath. As Luke 24:2-8 reads:

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” Then they remembered his words.
