Terror spreads in Nigeria as killing sprees spike against Christians

It didn’t matter how soundly she slept, Salamatu would wake up at 2 a.m. every night — her body remembering what her mind wished she could forget. It had been that same hour, months earlier, when Boko Haram stormed into her village, rewriting her future forever.

For Salamatu, terror was a way of life. In an earlier wave of violence, the jihadists had swarmed her Nigerian church, shooting the pastor in cold blood. Then, she says quietly, they came for her family. “My husband told me we should pray,” Salamatu remembers of that horrible night.

China Expels Missionaries, Treating Christianity As Existential Threat To Totalitarianism

This week is significant for Christians worldwide, including myself, as we commemorate Jesus Christ’s death and sacrifice on Good Friday and celebrate his resurrection on Easter Sunday. However, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has announced new regulations that will severely restrict foreign missionaries in China starting May 1. Citing the need to combat “extremism” and protect national security, these measures threaten religious freedoms.

Under the new regulation, foreign missionaries must obtain government approval for lectures, sermons, and group activities, facing a burdensome application process that details the date, time, location, and attendees.

‘Hail Satan!’ Scream Pro-Trans Athlete Protestors

Happy Easter! Christ is risen and has conquered the devil. That’s bad news for a mob of crazy Commies in California, who showed their support for having biological men compete in women’s sports by shrieking the praises of their master, Satan.

A Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) board meeting in California’s San Bernardino County took a dark turn last week, when rabid leftists who fanatically support transgenderism revealed also — surprise, surprise — that they have a streak of Satanism, real or feigned. How appropriate that people who support the lie that people can change sexes salute the Father of Lies.

GREENLIT: ‘Sun-Dimming’ Aerosol Injections Into Atmosphere for Climate Change

“Experiments to dim sunlight to fight global warming will be given the green light by the Government within weeks,” British outlet The Telegraph reports. “Outdoor field trials which could include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere, or brightening clouds to reflect sunshine, are being considered by scientists as a way to prevent runaway climate change.”

Don’t worry about the potential devastating and irreversible effects of blocking out the literal singular object that provides the basis for all life on Earth; the agency launching the project — the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria) — assures the public its project will be “rigorously assessed.”

India and Pakistan Are THIS Close to War… Again

There are certainties life: death, taxes, and the ever-present risk of India and Pakistan going to war — and the latest spark could prove to be Tuesday’s jihadi Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist attack that left at least 26 non-Muslims dead on the Indian side of the long-disputed Kashmir region.

Visegrád 24 reported today that New Delhi announced “strong measures against Pakistan,” including cancelling South Asia-regional SAARC visas for Pakistani visitors, closing the Wagah border crossing, and suspending the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) governing the allocation of water from the region’s major rivers.

The CEOs of Walmart, Target, Home Depot and Lowe’s Warn That Store Shelves All Over America Could “Soon Be Empty”

If you are going to need anything made in China, I would buy it now while you still can. Many companies have already decided that it no longer makes any economic sense to import Chinese-made products into the United States because tariff rates are so high. As a result, there are certain things that will soon no longer be available to U.S. consumers. On Monday, when I posted an article warning about “empty shelves” in the months ahead, some people thought that I was exaggerating. But of course the truth is that I was not exaggerating at all. On Tuesday, the CEOs of Walmart, Target, Home Depot and Lowe’s specifically warned President Trump that store shelves all over the country could “soon be empty” during a meeting at the White House…

China Moves to Formally End Christian Missionary Activity

The autocratic Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is imposing severe restrictions on Christian missionary activity in the country, arguing loyalty to the party usurps all other beliefs and credos.

The regulations, which take effect May 1, prohibit foreigners from preaching, sharing their faith, or establishing religious organizations without official government approval, persecution.org reports.

The move continues a long history of antipathy towards organized religion in the single-party state.

Science Reveals Spark of Light Occurs at Moment of Conception

On Monday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about life and abortion.

Marlow began by saying, “[W]hen a sperm enters an egg, apparently, a burst of light appears, marking the creation of life.”

Declassified Documents Reveal The CIA’s Bizarre ‘Psychic’ Search For The Ark Of The Covenant

Although we are becoming accustomed to increasingly bizarre news stories across the world, sometimes there are stories which still surprise us. The most recent news story to fit into this category relates to recent revelations from declassified documents that America’s preeminent intelligence agency, the CIA, was deeply involved in a psychic quest for the Ark of the Covenant under the operational code name “Sun Streak”. This is not the first time that intelligence and military branches have employed unorthodox techniques to achieve their desired goals. Before expanding on the CIA’s operation concerning the Ark of the Covenant, let me present some of the more bizarre military and intelligence projects:

New US Secretary Of Veterans Affairs Takes Action To Remove Censorship Of Chaplain Sermons

In a win for chaplains in Veteran Affairs (VA), VA Secretary Douglas Collins affirmed that a speech code restricting chaplains’ sermons is unlawful. He added that the department had taken action to rescind the code.

Collins announced the VA’s action in a letter responding to First Liberty Institute and the Independence Law Center, which had written a letter on behalf of Rusty Trubey, an Army Reserve chaplain at the Coatesville VA Medical Center. Trubey was punished for preaching a sermon titled “When a Culture Excludes God.” When he finished preaching the message, which included Romans 1:23-32, a police officer employed by the VA approached Trubey and informed him that people had complained about his sermon.
