    Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Gunmen described as “Fulani terrorists” raided a village in central Nigeria on Thursday night (April 9) and killed at least 20 Christians, area residents said. The assailants attacked Mbwelle village, near Bokkos town in Plateau state at about 9 p.m., they said. “An attack is currently ongoing in my village, Mbwelle,” Moses Kefas told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News in a text message. “Twenty members of our community have died, and seven of them are members of my family.” Kefas identified eight of those slain as church elder Iliya Mangut Dakus, Luck Titus...

    Greetings from Ukraine. I was supposed to spend last night in Budapest, but by early afternoon there was a palpable sense on the streets that something big was coming. So I figured I'd rather take my chances with Putin's incoming drones than hordes of Hungarian hotties high on their impending liberation from the Orbán terror. Because of some or other incident on my preferred TransCarpathian frontier post, I was obliged to detour via south-eastern Slovakia. Pleasant, if you're interested, and I encountered a nun in a full-length habit, which I don't think I've seen on a Montreal street in half-a-century....

    At least 11 people are known to have died after gunmen targeted civilians at a picnic spot in western Afghanistan. Provincial officials originally said four people had been killed in the attack in the Enjil district of Herat province on Friday, but later said that seven more people who were critically injured had also died. No group has claimed responsibility so far. "Unidentified armed men" riding motorcycles opened fire near the village of Deh Mehri, an interior ministry spokesperson said. The recreational area is usually crowded on Fridays. A Herat doctor told the BBC that the victims - who were...

    Gavin Newsom is lying about Israel to curry favor with extremists in Minneapolis, Dearborn, and New York City. And that is just one Democrat, there are many more. "Gavin Newsom bets antisemitism is the Democratic Party’s future" from the New York Post sums up the entire theme of this article. "Gavin Newsom endorsed the lie Tuesday that Israel is an 'apartheid' state — a damning sign of where the Democratic Party is headed, and how far it’s already sunk." If Newsom doesn't know that Christian and Muslim Israeli citizens can vote and be elected to the Knesset, and that Israel's...

    American Thinker ^ | 12 Apr, 2026 | D. Parker
    It's easy to be a 'Doomer' these days, and while the GOP hasn't been exceptional, the choices have never been clearer. Although it's far worse for the left than the right, it's difficult to feel positive about the future given the circumstances of today. While we have a president willing to take chances and look at the big picture, we have other politicians ostensibly on the pro-freedom side that act like risk-averse church mice, afraid of their own shadows and unwilling to implement measures that garner support from most of the electorate. They are contrasted by the cruel and violent...

    With the radical teachers union National Education Association (NEA) and some of its state chapters openly pushing student walkouts from class to protest the enforcement of our country's immigration laws, they now have a new ally. The Sunrise Movement, an organization that has heretofore focused on climate alarmism, has now branched out to support illegal immigration. The Sunrise Movement, which says it supports "eco-socialism" and the Green New Deal, is planning mass student walkouts from class for May 1 this year. That date has been one of the topo holidays in the communist calendar, known as May Day. The group...

    Summary of Video Transcript Victor Davis Hanson suggested letting NATO "die on the vine" by putting into it exactly the amount of effort that Canada does, while making bilateral deals with European countries that support the U.S., in this video for "The Daily Signal." "Even though they have a $22 trillion GDP, apparently they don’t want to invest that in their own defense," he said. "And they don’t want us to use it when we need it." "What’s the future? Do we get out of NATO? I don’t think we do. I think we just let it die on the...

    Kristen Welker: "I want to start with President Trump because President Trump's threats to take over Cuba come as the United States has removed President Maduro from power, has invaded Iran and killed its Supreme Leader. Do you fear you could be killed or arrested by the United States?" Miguel Díaz-Canel: "That is a very interesting question. Those of us who have leadership positions in the revolution have a strong commitment to our revolution and to our heroic people. In this connection, our responsibility entails the conviction and the commitment that we are willing to give our lives for the...

    Lefty billionaire Stephen Cloobeck dramatically cut ties with Eric Swalwell and revealed he has kicked him out of his mansion — hours before the congressman dropped his run for California governor. “I am no longer supporting Eric,” Cloobeck told The Post in an exclusive interview. “F—ing tell everyone I’m a libertarian. F— you, Democrat Party. I’m a libertarian now.” The ugly break-up between the timeshare mogul and Bay Area congressman — who pulled out of the governor’s race late Sunday — marks yet another stunning point in Swalwell’s cratering political career. Following public allegations Friday of rape, sexual assault and...
