“The whole point of constitutional law is to have one branch of government, headed by the Supreme Court, that can stand against majority will when it violates the nation’s fundamental law,” he added. “The point of court-packing is the opposite: to create a Supreme Court that won’t stand in the way of majority will. In other words, court-packing is a wrecking ball to demolish the Constitution itself.”

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said she is open to reviewing whether noncitizens should be allowed to vote in certain local elections, putting the idea back into public discussion in a city already dealing with multiple political flashpoints. The remarks were made in an interview with Politico, and come as similar proposals continue to circulate in select Democrat-run jurisdictions across the country. Bass stopped short of endorsing a final policy, but made clear the concept is something she is willing to consider.

Christian persecution monitors have also warned that pastors and Christian community workers in Mexico are often targeted because their ministry, anti-drug work, and youth outreach can undermine cartel control. Open Doors says criminal violence remains a major danger for Mexican Christians, particularly church leaders who confront evil with good in cartel-dominated areas. Yet even amid violence and intimidation, the evangelical witness in Mexico continues to grow.

While similar Bills did not pass in 2024 and 2025, the newly elected South Australian Parliament presents a new landscape and significant opportunity to advance the pro-life cause further in our State. Since abortion up to birth was legalised in South Australia in 2022, official statistics show that at least 105 babies have been aborted after 22 weeks’ gestation – including in the third trimester. Tragically, these abortions have occurred even for "mental health reasons."

Castro, 94, has been indicted on charges of conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, citing a 30-year-old incident, alleging Castro, Lorenzo Alberto Perez-Perez, Emilio Jose Palacio Blanco, Jose Fidel Gual Barzaga, Raul Simanca Cardenas, and Luis Raul Gonzalez-Pardo Rodriguez played roles in the “shoot-down” of two “unarmed” American civilian aircraft over international waters in Feb. 1996. The incident led to the deaths of four Americans, Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre Jr., Mario de la Pena and Pablo Morales.

Residents described Oyedokun as a committed teacher and Christian who served his community with dedication. Church leaders and civil society groups have called for the release of the abducted victims and for the arrest of those responsible.  Local officials and education advocates said the attack has renewed concerns about the security of schools in parts of Southwest Nigeria, where kidnappings for ransom have become more frequent in recent years.

A proposed mosque and community center in Indian Land, South Carolina, was blocked this week after local officials voted against a permit application following a packed public hearing that drew heavy opposition from residents.

Under the guise of standard social justice rhetoric, which has gained steam throughout the 21st century, political forces have intentionally grouped vastly different global populations into a single, massive group, referred to as "the oppressed." Within this manufactured coalition, one group has become particularly shielded from critical scrutiny: Muslims. Everyone is welcome in America, under the big umbrella of freedom. The United States welcomes people of any faith, ethnicity, or background—including Muslims—provided they enter through established, lawful channels and possess the proper motivation to honor this nation. This is legal assimilation. What this is not is bigotry.

The climate change apocalypse narrative continues to deflate (ironic how much of it was hot gas). Last week, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) finally admitted that it was time to stop scaring the public with doomsday climate scenarios that are impossible. Now, former leading climate activist Lucy Biggers has changed her mind about the world ending, too.

“The Division will stand for the principle that it is fundamentally unfair to coerce, treat differently, persecute, or penalize an individual or organization for acting in accord with its religious or moral beliefs when those actions constitute protected conduct under Federal law,” the HHS official said. “Many providers of health care and human services are motivated by their religious beliefs or moral convictions, and they should not be driven out of Federal programs because of those convictions.”

Hamas top military commander, Izz ad-Din al-Haddad, was killed in an aerial strike in Gaza City on Friday, the IDF confirmed in a statement on Saturday.

Immigration enforcement was a core element of President Donald Trump’s successful 2024 presidential campaign, including pledges to retake control of the nation’s borders, left open by former President Joe Biden and his administration, and to conduct a mass deportation operation.

The effort gained national attention after federal prosecutors charged more than 70 people in a massive COVID-era food program fraud case in Minnesota. Many of the defendants were connected to the state’s Somali immigrant community and were accused of siphoning federal nutrition funds meant to feed children. But officials now say Minnesota was only the beginning.

Chang Yuchun and his wife, Li Chenhui, remain in brutal conditions in separate prisons in Xi’an City, Shaanxi province, China. The couple was involved in printing Christian literature and materials in Xi’an in 2015. In July 2020, their company was raided and closed. State security police seized more than 210,000 Christian books.

“Also there was no more sea” stops many in their tracks as they read Revelation 21:1. Does this actually mean there will be no...
