International communities like Nigeria and Syria are experiencing seasons of bloodshed. Islamist militants are attacking churches, villages, and Christian neighborhoods while governments do little to stop them.

Ancient Christian communities that have survived for centuries now face extinction.

In parts of Nigeria, being a Christian can be a death sentence. During Easter week, Islamist gunmen unleashed a wave of terror on Christian communities, slaughtering more than 60 believers in villages, businesses, and churches—turning sacred days of celebration into unimaginable horror.

On Palm Sunday alone, armed militants stormed Angwan Rukuba, a predominantly Christian neighborhood in the city of Jos. That night, they fired on villagers, killing at least a dozen innocent people.

Will Earth really lose gravity on August 12, 2026? The shocking viral claim and the scientific reality behind it |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Rumours that Earth’s gravity suddenly disappeared for a few seconds have circulated widely on the Internet lately. This rumor is associated with 12 August 2026 and is based on an alleged link between Project Anchor and the temporary disappearance of Earth’s gravity. Although this might sound impressive, scientists have stated that this information is absolutely false. According to NASA and other relevant institutions, there is not a single scientific reason to believe in this conspiracy theory. It can be helpful to investigate the origin of this rumor and examine the nature of gravity.

What does the August 12 gravity theory actually claim

The statement was never made by a scientific organisation, nor was it backed up by any study in the field. The statement originated online, where creative content can easily attract the interest of netizens if it is bizarre or sensational enough. The case at hand had elements that sounded believable because of the inclusion of a supposed “leaked document” and an alleged “secret program” of NASA.As reported by The New York Post, there is also no record in history of any scientific venture named “Project Anchor.” There have been no documents authenticated for it, and no scientists or agencies have ever endorsed the idea. This is a classic example of viral misinformation in the age of the internet.

Of all the memorials in all the world…..

This isn’t about honoring the dead—it’s about legitimizing the wrong ones. Standing at a state monument in Algeria and praising those who died “for their people,” without distinguishing between freedom fighters and those who slaughtered Christians and Jews, is moral confusion at best and abdication at worst. In a place where the Church was nearly wiped out, that kind of gesture doesn’t signal peace—it signals that the suffering of Christians is secondary. A pope is supposed to bring clarity. This brings cover.

Pope Leo Visits Muslim Jihadist Memorial to Killers of Christians

By: Daniel Greenfield, April 16, 2026:

“They gave them up for the love of their own people.”

Imagine that Hamas had won on Oct 7 and the victims were Christians. That’s what happened in Algeria. Islamist and Marxist terrorists during the Algerian War waged a ruthless campaign against the non-Muslim population. Including Jews.

The atrocities by Muslim terrorists included the slitting of women’s throats and babies being murdered by having their heads smashed against walls. The massacres climaxed in the Oran Massacre in which De Gaulle’s corrupt regime refused to protect Christians and Jews from the Muslim mob.

North Korea is showing a “very serious increase” in its ability to produce atomic weapons, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog said during a visit to Seoul on Wednesday.

“In our periodic assessments, we have been able to confirm that there’s a rapid increase in the operations” of the Yongbyon reactor, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi said in Seoul, where he met South Korea’s foreign minister.

The agency also observed a rise in operations at Yongbyon’s reprocessing unit and light-water reactor, as well as the activation of other facilities, Grossi told reporters.

“All that points to a very serious increase in the capabilities of (the) DPRK in the area of nuclear weapons production, which is estimated at a few dozen warheads,” he said, referring to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the North’s official name.

Donald Trump is raising the pressure on Iran ahead of possible new talks by sending thousands more troops to the Middle East.

The US president has said that a second round of talks with Iran could happen “over the next two days” with negotiations held again in Islamabad as diplomats worked through back channels to arrange them.

And the prospect of talks come as the US Central Command says no ships made it past the blockade in the first 24 hours, while six merchant vessels complied with direction from US forces to turn around and re-enter Iranian waters.

More than 10,000 further troops could also be soon arriving in the region including about 6,000 aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush and several warships escorting it, said officials, reported the Washington Post.

And about 4,200 others with the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and its embarked Marine Corps task force, the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, are expected to arrive near the end of the month.

Democrat lawmakers have passed a sweeping new bill in Massachusetts that would force social media users to prove their age, raising serious concerns about privacy, surveillance, and government overreach in the name of “protecting children.”

The legislation passed the state House by a 129–25 vote and would ban children under 14 from social media entirely, and require parental consent for teens aged 14 and 15.

Most significantly, however, the bill mandates that platforms implement age verification systems for all users.

If signed into law, the measure will take effect on October 1.

Sadly, Republicans have chosen to be on the losing side of the issue.

The public is being asked to shoulder a burden to facilitate a supposed technology whose benefits are very unclear and dubious.

In a first of its kind local referendum, voters in Port Washington, Wisconsin, voted by a margin of 2-1 for a referendum that will require all future data center projects in the area to be approved by a vote of the city’s residents.

The referendum was sparked in the wake of Oracle and OpenAI’s Stargate facility setting up shop in the area. The proposed 1.3 gigawatt facility will consume the power equivalent of over one million households.

Civilians have been caught in the crossfire and killed in military air strikes aimed at militants, though the authorities sometimes dispute hitting civilians.

Africa’s most populous country has been fighting a jihadist insurgency for 17 years, since Boko Haram’s 2009 uprising, which has seen the emergence of powerful splinter groups, including Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).

A UN security memo seen by AFP, stated that “4 Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets launched airstrikes that mistakenly killed at least 56 people and injured 14 others at the Jilli market… on April 11.”

“This occurred during a military operation targeting Boko Haram fighters who visited the market to conduct terrorism activities,” it said.

Amnesty International earlier said on X that there were “more than 100 dead” and 35 people seriously wounded.

Local chief Lawan Zanna Nur, meanwhile, said: “The total casualties, dead and injured, are around 200.”

Citing estimates that the population could reach at least 500 individuals by 2030, “affecting our ecosystems and native species,” she added that “it is our responsibility to take this action.”

Law-abiding citizens of Virginia have been on pins and needles these past few days waiting to see how Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) would handle a bill that had been sitting on her desk for a month that would ban the purchase of certain “assault firearms.”

There was a hard deadline of 11:59 p.m. Monday for her to take action. She had several options: sign it, veto it, send it back to the General Assembly with suggested amendments, or simply do nothing, which would allow it to become law without her signature.

Considering “Grabby Abby” Spanberger had happily voted in favor of assault weapons bans during her time in Congress, it seemed likely that she wound ink this bill into law without a second thought. However, there was one big mitigating factor hanging over her: the April 21 referendum on whether or not to allow Virginia Democrats to gerrymander Republicans out of four of the five congressional seats they currently hold – and some signs are pointing to the vote not going the Democrats’ way.

“California Democrats are trying to intimidate citizen watchdog journalists and protect waste and fraud happening in far-Left-wing NGOs.”

California Democrats have advanced a bill that aims to protect “designated immigration support services” from “threats or acts of violence.” Republican lawmakers have warned that the bill would silence citizen journalists such as Nick Shirley, who has recently released reports uncovering millions in fraud in the state.

California’s AB 2624 passed the Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee in an 11-2 vote on April 7 and was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Republican Assemblymembers Alexandra Macedo and Carl DeMaio were the only ones to vote against it. The bill, which has been dubbed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” by DeMaio, was authored by Democrat Assemblymember Mia Bonta, the wife of California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

The bill would prohibit the posting of personal information or the image “of any designated immigration support services provider, employee, or volunteer, or other individuals residing at the same home address” online with the “intent” to “Incite a third person to cause imminent great bodily harm to the designated immigration support services provider,” or to “Threaten the designated immigration support services provider.”
