Killing Of Nigerian Christians Underscores Islam Is Incompatible With Safety And Freedom

/0 Comments/in , /by

We’ve heard endless claims by the propaganda press and campus “protesters” that Islamic terrorists are oppressed, and “white” Christians are the oppressors. For example, recall how New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani famously suggested that the real victims of 9/11 are New York City’s Muslims because his “Auntie” felt like people looked at her funny while she wore her hijab on the train.

Such fig-leafed fables can never cover up the horrific realities on the ground. Islamic jihadists’ intolerance for any coexistence with Christianity and Western values of civil society becomes starker every day. Most recently, we’ve had to grapple with the ISIS-inspired attack on Bondi Beach in Australia and the probable funding of Somali terrorists by unwitting Minnesota taxpayers. Their terrorist attacks are more numerous than ever before.

So, unquestionably, the oppressors are jihadists whose outspoken hate for Jews and Christians too often leads them to kill without mercy. The best evidence of this today is the case of Nigeria. For too long, the corporate press has been silent about — and even denied — the constant slaughter of Christians by Islamic terrorists in Nigeria.

Breaking the Silence

Until recently, you were expected to know nothing about the heinous acts committed daily against Christians worldwide, particularly in Nigeria. We were supposed to stay ignorant about the beheadings of priests in Nigeria, the destruction of 19,000 churches there, the machete hackings and live burnings of Christians there, the killings of about 8,000 Christians so far this year, and some 135,000 since 2009 in Nigeria alone. We were supposed to know zero about the persecution of Christians, even though they are overwhelmingly the most targeted of any religious group in the world by a large and growing margin.

Most of the perpetrators of Christian persecution in the modern world fall under two categories: communist governments such as those in North Korea and China; and Islamic jihadism, such as practiced by Boko Haram or Fulani militants in Nigeria, or the Taliban in Afghanistan, all of whom are intent on coercively imposing sharia law. This state of affairs was the central theme of “Persecuted and Prevailing: Addressing Christian Persecution in the Modern World” a recent livestreamed panel event at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.

Florida Sheriff Warns Community To Stay On Alert As Authorities Release 13-Year-Old Boy With 11 Felony Arrests

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Florida sheriff urged residents to stay vigilant after saying that a 13-year-old boy with 11 felony arrests was released back into the community for the third time in six months.

Martin County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Sheriff John Budensiek expressed frustration at a Wednesday news conference, saying is deputies face limited options, WPBF reported.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” Budensiek said. “Our job is to keep everybody safe, including him. He is unraveling. He would be safer right now at DYS (Florida Department of Juvenile Justice).”

The sheriff said the boy “has rough living conditions. He has been unraveling since his dad was deported.”

Fort Pierce’s St. Lucie Regional Juvenile Detention Center has reportedly processed and released the accused three times. His crime spree from Oct. 29 to Nov. 24 left six victims in the Port Salerno area, the MCSO alleged.

Teen Gangsters Plead Guilty To Serving As Hitmen For Deadly Drug Cartel

/1 Comment/in , /by

Two teenage gang members pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to murder and attempted murder charges after admitting they served as hired hitmen for Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel.

Fifteen-year-olds Andrew Nunez and Johncarlo Quintero acknowledged carrying out two coordinated assassination attempts within five hours on March 26–27, 2024, targeting the same victim in Chula Vista, Calif., according to a Justice Department press release. The attacks left two people wounded and one man dead.

Nunez and Quintero, both members of the Mexican Mafia-affiliated Westside Wilmas gang from the greater Los Angeles area, drove from Wilmington, Calif., to a Chili’s restaurant in Chula Vista on the evening of March 26. Their target, identified as Victim 1, was dining with family members.

As Victim 1 and his family walked through the parking lot, Quintero exited the vehicle and fired a single shot, striking Victim 1 in the legs. Quintero’s firearm jammed before he could fire again, Nunez then tried to run over Victim 1 with the car but failed. The pair fled the scene.

Hours later, in the early morning of March 27, the teenagers returned to finish the job. This time, they brought a third accomplice, 28-year-old Ricardo Sanchez. Prosecutors said each participant expected a payment of roughly $50,000. The trio approached Victim 1’s nearby luxury apartment with firearms.

Nearly Naked Bill Clinton Pictured Soaking in Hot Tub With Unidentified Woman in Epstein Files: ‘His Reckoning’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Bill Clinton is photographed reclining nearly naked in a hot tub with an unidentified woman at his waist in files kept by late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — drawing strong reactions, including an ex-aide’s pronouncement that “this is his reckoning.”

Clinton, 79, is shown in many other images in the sprawling cache of Epstein files released Friday by the Justice Department — including with his arm wrapped around a young lady on a plane.

The ex-president is seen vacationing with the now-notorious predator in the UK, traveling with him to Brunei and Thailand and attending the 2002 wedding of Moroccan King Mohammed VI.

The extent of the Democrat’s appearance in the files drew shock shortly after the DOJ’s heavily redacted dump of thousands of records in compliance with a congressionally mandated deadline.

In one image, Clinton is shown frolicking in a swimming pool with Epstein’s girlfriend-turned-madam Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking crimes.

Who Is Named in the Epstein Files? List of Famous People Exposed in Bombshell Release

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Justice Department has finally begun releasing the long‑awaited trove of Jeffrey Epstein files — and the initial batch of never‑before‑seen photos and documents includes a jaw‑dropping lineup of high‑profile figures who had contacts with the notorious financier and child rapist.

While the images are explosive, the DOJ has said that being photographed with Epstein doesn’t equate to criminal guilt, and many of the appearances in past photos released — including those by President Trump — are social or casual in nature.

Here’s who else appears in the Epstein files:

Former President Bill Clinton — New photos depict former President Bill Clinton vacationing with Epstein and his long-term partner and madam, Ghislaine Maxwell. One striking shot shows Clinton partially unclothed in a hot tub alongside Maxwell and an unidentified woman.

Mick Jagger — New images included in the release show Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger dining with Epstein and Clinton, and cozying up to a woman whose face was redacted in one image.

Michael Jackson — One of the most talked‑about images published today shows the late pop legend Michael Jackson standing beside Jeffrey Epstein in a previously unreleased DOJ photograph — complete with Jackson in sunglasses and Epstein in slippers. One picture shows Clinton, Jackson, and famed singer Diana Ross on a plane together. (Read more from “Who Is Named in the Epstein Files? List of Famous People Exposed in Bombshell Release” HERE)

‘That Is Retarded’: Ben Shapiro Goes After Fellow AmericaFest Speakers, Candace Owens; Erika Kirk Makes 2028 Presidential Endorsement During Speech

/5 Comments/in , , , /by

By Daily Caller. The Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro criticized fellow media figures and speakers Thursday during his speech at AmericaFest.

Turning Point USA opened its annual AmericaFest conference Thursday at the Phoenix Convention Center, presenting the four-day event as a celebration of faith, freedom, and the legacy of founder Charlie Kirk. Speaking at the event, Shapiro said media figures must take responsibility for their words, actions, hiring decisions, and guest choices, adding that hosts owe audiences tough, fact-driven questioning regardless of whether they agree with the guest.

“We have a duty to take responsibility for what we say and do. If we hire awful people, we’re responsible for that. I have some experience there, as you might suspect. That means that if we offer a guest for your viewing, we owe it to you to ask the kinds of questions that actually get at the truth,” Shapiro said. “If we agree with a guest, that’s fine, but we should own it. So, for example, if you host a Hitler-apologist, Nazi-loving, anti-American piece of refuse like Nick Fuentes. You know, the Nick Fuentes who said that the Vice President of the United States is a, quote, fat, gay race traitor married to a jeet.”

Shapiro referenced past remarks Nick Fuentes made during his AmericaFest speech, pointing to Fuentes’ comments about the TPUSA founder. (Read more from “‘That Is Retarded’: Ben Shapiro Goes After Fellow AmericaFest Speakers, Candace Owens” HERE)

Erika Kirk Makes 2028 Presidential Endorsement During AmFest Speech

By Daily Caller. Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk used her speech Thursday at AmericaFest 2025 to map out Republican strategy for the next two election cycles.

TPUSA’s annual AmericaFest conference kicked off Thursday at the Phoenix Convention Center, with organizers framing the four-day gathering as a celebration of faith, freedom, and the legacy of founder Charlie Kirk. During her speech, Kirk told the crowd that Republicans are shifting away from a narrow focus on individual contests and toward a broader, long-term state strategy aimed at locking in durable electoral gains.

“For both 2026 and 2028, we’re investing in states and not just in races. So, what I mean by that is we are building the red wall,” Kirk said. “Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, that’s going to be very important to us. We’re going to ensure that President Trump has Congress for all four years. We are going to get my husband’s friend, JD Vance, elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible.” (Read more from “Erika Kirk Makes 2028 Presidential Endorsement During AmFest Speech” HERE)

Brown, MIT Shooting Suspect ID’d After He’s Found Dead From Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police have identified former Brown University student Claudio Neves Valente as the gunman in both Saturday’s fatal shooting at the Ivy League school and Monday’s murder of an MIT professor, while also confirming he’s dead.

Valente, a Portuguese national, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Thursday night following a nearly weeklong manhunt, Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez announced at a press conference, five full days into the department’s frantic search for the killer.

The 48-year-old former graduate student was discovered dead with a satchel and two firearms inside a Salem, New Hampshire, storage facility, where authorities carried out a search warrant around 9 p.m.

FBI Special Agent Ted Docks also revealed that Valente studied in Lisbon with murdered MIT nuclear science professor Nuno Loureiro, 47. The professor was killed on Monday in his $1.4 million townhouse in upscale Brookline, Massachusetts, and cops there announced late Thursday he was shot by Valente.

Loureiro was born and raised in Portugal and studied physics at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon. (Read more from “Brown, MIT Shooting Suspect ID’d After He’s Found Dead From Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound” HERE)

Reported Car Ramming May Have Foiled Second Terror Plot In Same Location From Just Days Ago

/0 Comments/in , /by

A police LandCruiser reportedly crashed into a car in Liverpool, Australia, carrying men believed to be headed for Bondi Beach with potentially violent intentions.

Bondi was the site of a father-son terror shooting Sunday that claimed at least 15 and injured over 40. With crashed cars in the background, heavily armed law enforcement can be seen escorting ziptied men to sit or kneel against a wall.

Cops from New South Wales (NSW), the Australian Federal Police (AFP), and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) responded to a tip of a “violent act” in planning, according to an NSW Police statement. The men were headed for unknown reasons to Bondi Beach and five were arrested, reported news.com.au

NSW Police did not confirm arrests but indicated seven men were “assisting police” and the police operation had “concluded.” They also did not find “any connection” to the Bondi Beach attack, according to multiple reports.

It comes as the youngest Bondi Beach victim, Matilda, was laid to rest in another part of Sydney. (Read more from “Reported Car Ramming May Have Foiled Second Terror Plot In Same Location From Just Days Ago” HERE)

Elise Stefanik Went Full MAGA — So Where Is Her Trump Endorsement?

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York Rep. Elise Stefanik morphed from a moderate, right-of-center Republican to a MAGA champion in just a few years, but she still hasn’t secured the coveted Trump endorsement in her run for governor of New York as she faces a new primary challenger.

Stefanik, whose team argues she has the best shot at defeating incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, is facing Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. Even though Stefanik currently leads Blakeman by 31 points, President Donald Trump has asserted both are “great people” and declined to get involved in the race at this point.

The lack of endorsement raises questions about potential lingering tensions from Trump pulling Stefanik’s nomination as ambassador to the United Nations and a recent row with Speaker Mike Johnson, as well as the political expediency of Stefanik’s delayed embrace of the president.

During the 2016 Republican primary, Stefanik publicly criticized several of Trump’s positions but largely avoided mentioning him by name, according to a Roll Call report. Her criticisms included Trump’s attacks on the family of a Muslim U.S. soldier killed in Iraq, his proposal to ban immigration from Muslim-majority countries, his pledge to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, and the release of the Access Hollywood tape.

In May 2016, Stefanik avoided mentioning Trump by name prior to his nomination, instead reaffirming her commitment to supporting the Republican nominee, stating “Like my Democratic opponent, I will support my party’s nominee in the fall,” she said, according to an Albany Times Union report.

Jack Smith Testifies Privately Team Had ‘Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt’ on Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith told members of Congress in a private interview Wednesday that his team gathered sufficient evidence to support criminal charges against Donald Trump in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the retention of classified documents, even though both cases were later dropped following Trump’s return to the presidency.

In a closed-door hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, former Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith defended his handling of two major federal investigations into President Donald Trump. According to excerpts from his opening remarks obtained by the Associated Press, Smith said his team developed “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump criminally conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Smith also said prosecutors amassed “powerful evidence” that Trump unlawfully retained classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and obstructed government attempts to retrieve them.

“I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump’s political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy in the 2024 presidential election,” Smith told the committee. He emphasized his actions were “based on what the facts and the law required.” He also reportedly told lawmakers that if presented with the same facts today, he would again bring charges against a former president, “regardless of whether the president was a Republican or Democrat.”

Smith was appointed in 2022 by Attorney General Merrick Garland to oversee both probes. His team filed charges in each case but abandoned them after Trump was elected to the White House, citing Justice Department legal opinions that say a sitting president cannot be indicted.
