Around the world, Christians are facing violence leading up to Easter and Holy Week. At the same time, globalist King Charles and socialist New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani have snubbed Easter.

On Palm Sunday, March 30, gunmen killed at least 30 people in Ungwan Rukuba, a predominantly Christian community in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, bringing the total death toll from three coordinated attacks that day to at least 53. Survivors identified the attackers as either Fulani militia or Boko Haram. The men arrived on motorcycles, wore uniforms resembling those of Nigerian security forces, and opened fire indiscriminately. No arrests have been made.

Two days earlier, on the night of March 27, armed groups attacked the predominantly Christian town of Al-Suqaylabiyah in Hama province, Syria, destroying homes, shops, cars, and churches and firing on the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented that a Christian cemetery in Tartus province was also attacked, with crosses smashed from tombstones. As a result, churches across Syria canceled or curtailed Palm Sunday observances.

In Pakistan, authorities in Islamabad ordered approximately 25,000 Christians living in the Rimsha and Akram Gill colonies to vacate within three days, offering no resettlement plan. Many of the residents, primarily sanitation workers and day laborers, had been relocated to those settlements by the government itself following the 2012 Rimsha Masih blasphemy case.

Christians in many countries will not be celebrating Easter this year because of ongoing violence. However, in the UK and U.S., two Christian-majority countries, some leaders are spurning the most sacred holiday of the year.

Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles will not issue an Easter message this year. As Supreme Governor of the Church of England, this is comparable to the Pope not issuing an Easter message.

He has spurned Easter, yet he issued a “Ramadan Mubarak” greeting on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, a Christian day of reflection, prompting complaints that there was no equivalent message marking the Christian observance. King Charles also used a State Banquet speech to acknowledge the Muslim president of Nigeria’s “sacrifice” during Ramadan, closing with “Eid Mubarak.”

In 2024, then-President Joe Biden held a Transgender Day of Visibility event at the White House on Easter Sunday. It included a drag show and provocative dancing.

This year, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a Good Friday statement that excluded the name of Jesus, referencing sacrifice, fasting, and faith but did not mention Jesus Christ by name. Breitbart reported that his full statement read: “Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking.” He did not specify which New Yorkers would be observing Good Friday.

Mamdani, a practicing Muslim, posted in support of Transgender Day of Visibility, which fell on March 31 during Holy Week. Representative Brandon Gill responded: “Today is not about the sacrifice of anyone but the one who came to save us. Speak His name: JESUS!” Other Democrats followed a similar pattern of supporting Transgender Day of Visibility while not issuing statements marking Holy Week.

Kathy Hochul, governor of New York, issued a formal proclamation designating March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility and announced that 16 state landmarks would be lit pink, white, and blue in celebration. No Easter statement from her has surfaced in available search results. Gretchen Whitmer, governor of Michigan, also issued a proclamation designating March 31, 2026, as Transgender Day of Visibility in Michigan, with no Easter statement found.

JB Pritzker of Illinois, Wes Moore of Maryland, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, and Maura Healey of Massachusetts likewise had no Easter statements appearing in available search results. The Democratic Governors Association collectively issued statements consistent with party messaging.

President Trump, by contrast, issued a bold Christian message for Easter “Sunday, we proclaim with joy that Christ has risen, a new creation has been ushered in, and evil and death have been conquered forever through the unmatched power of God’s sacrificial love.”

The statement went on to say, “When Jesus Christ rose from His earthly tomb on Easter morning, He restored our grace, washed our sins, and reconciled humanity with God, fulfilling the ancient prophecy,” marking one of the most explicitly Christian Easter messages in years, with George W. Bush a close second. By comparison, Biden’s 2024 Easter message was just a few lines, more like an email. It spoke about hope, family, and resurrection, with only brief mention of Jesus.

The violence against Christians in Syria, Pakistan, Nigeria, and elsewhere continues and is escalating. Liberals and Democrats claim that there is no violence against Christians or that MAGA has made it up, but the violence is very real. So far, President Trump, when he deployed troops and launched strikes in Nigeria, is the only world leader to attempt to address the problem.

Euro-Globalists Meet in Paris To ‘Discuss’ the Strait of Hormuz, But Iran Has Already Opened the Waterway, and Trump Discards the Participation of the ‘Paper Tigers’

‘Useless’ allies not needed anymore, says Trump.

Be it in the Russia-Ukraine war – where they want it to continue for as long as possible – or in the US military confrontation with Iran – where they betrayed their main NATO ally – one thing you can always expect from Euro-Globalist failing leaders: meetings – lots of meetings.

The delusional European ‘powers’ make purely symbolic decisions that yield no practical outcome.

The current cast of Globalist leaders shares one thing in common: dismal poll numbers and historic levels of voter rejection.

So, they try to gain some clout by meddling in foreign issues as much as possible.

And that’s how they find themselves ridiculously discussing the opening of Hormuz AFTER it is already opened by Iran.

The result was inevitable: they got told off by Donald J. Trump yet again, treated as ‘useless’.

The Telegraph reported:

“Mr. Trump has again lashed out at Nato allies after the announcement that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened.

The US president suggested that European nations and others should ‘stay away’ from the region ‘unless they just want to load up their ships with oil’.”

Tweet from Donald Trump discussing NATO's offer for assistance after the Hormuz Strait situation, expressing skepticism about their support.

“He said: ‘Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from Nato asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL’.

‘They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger’.”

British Conservative Douglas Murray on the Failure of the US Education System (Video)

Douglas Murray, an investigative journalist and the author of The Strange Death of Europe and The War on the West, sat down with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to discuss a variety of topics, including the dismal state of education in the Unites States.

Murray, an outspoken British conservative, told Streit, “I mean, I say this as a great lover of America, but the education system in this country is shocking. And it’s not to do with money. It’s not to do with a lack of resources.”

“If in New York State, for instance, almost $30,000 is allocated per pupil per year for their education, that’s a hell of a lot of money.”

Streit added, “Yeah, it’s not money, it’s monsters. It’s the other end.”

Murray continued, “Exactly. I mean, it is. And it’s just shocking. The unions, these people just have not done their job. They have so woefully underperformed.”

“And when you have the levels of illiteracy and numeracy in a society like this. It’s shocking.”

“The world’s number one economy, a superpower, should be able to make sure that it’s not like in a lot of areas 50% of K-12 students just don’t have basic literacy or numeracy.”

Watch:

According to The Citizens Budget Commission (CBC), New York State has the highest per-pupil spending in the nation for over 20 years running.

For the 2024–25 school year, the state was projected to spend approximately $36,293 per student (total expenditures including local, state, and federal funds). This is more than double the national average of roughly $17,000–$18,000. Earlier data for 2023 showed New York at about $36,976 per pupil.

Yet according to assessments like the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the Nation’s Report Card, New York students are not achieving grade-level mastery in core subjects at high rates, despite the massive investment.

2024 NAEP results for NY State overall showed:

Grade 4 Reading: 31% proficient or above.
Grade 4 Math: 37% proficient or above.
Grade 8 Reading: 31% proficient or above.
Grade 8 Math: 26% proficient or above.

Nationally, proficiency hovers around 30–39% in these categories, so New York is average-to-below-average despite top spending, and scores have shown little sustained improvement over decades, even as costs soared.

New York City students fare even worse.

New York City public schools, the nation’s largest district, spend even more than the New York state average.

According to The New York Post, for the 2025–26 school year, the NYC Department of Education is projected to spend a record $42,168 per student—the highest in the country—on a total budget of $44.6 billion.

2024 NAEP results for NYC showed:

Grade 4 Reading: 28% proficient.
Grade 4 Math: 33% proficient.
Grade 8 Reading: 29% proficient.
Grade 8 Math: 23% proficient.

Worthless Racist Chicago Thug Who Livestreamed Brutal Torture of Disabled White Teen on Facebook Arrested for Beating and Mugging White Cyclist After Being Released from Prison

A vile racist anti-white Chicago predator who was one of the deranged psychopaths who brutally tortured a disabled white teenager on Facebook live in 2017 has been arrested for attacking another white person after being released from prison.

Tesfaye Cooper, 30, was arrested on April 8 after he and an accomplice allegedly chased down a white cyclist who simply waved at them near Chicago’s Clark-Lake CTA station.

The pair beat the man, spat in his face, stole his bike, and claimed they were “Gangster Disciples,” according to court records and police reports.

This is the same Tesfaye Cooper who, along with three other black accomplices Jordan Hill, Tesfaye Cooper, Brittany Covington, and Tanishia Covington, kidnapped, tortured, and livestreamed the brutal assault of a mentally disabled white 18-year-old on Facebook Live in 2017.

That attack included racial slurs, anti-white taunts like “F-ck white people,” beatings, and forcing the victim to drink from a toilet. It was charged as a hate crime.

Cooper served just seven years in prison for that heinous hate crime before being released roughly two years ago. He is now facing new charges for the latest assault.

In 2017, Cooper and his group specifically targeted a vulnerable white victim because of his race, a fact prosecutors acknowledged with hate crime charges.

Now, in 2026, Cooper is accused of viciously attacking yet another white man for no reason other than a friendly wave.

Mainstream media outlets have largely downplayed or omitted the racial dynamics in both cases, focusing instead on generic “crime” stories.

According to reports, Cooper and 33-year-old Mazi Pearson cornered the cyclist in the train station mezzanine. Pearson punched the victim while Cooper attempted to strike him and spat in his face.

CWB Chicago reports:

In a detention filing, prosecutors said a 48-year-old Cicero man waved at Pearson and Cooper as he passed them on his bike near Clark and Lake streets around 1:30 p.m. Pearson and Cooper responded to the man’s wave by claiming to be “GDs,” slang for Gangster Disciples, and chasing the victim into the Clark-Lake station, according to the filing.

Once inside the station, the victim paid his fare while Cooper and Pearson chased him through the turnstile and backed him up against the mezzanine elevator, prosecutors said. With the victim cornered, Pearson allegedly punched him in the shoulder. A CPD report said Cooper approached the victim at the same time with a closed fist and tried to strike him while Pearson spat in the man’s face.

Pearson allegedly tossed the victim’s bike over the turnstile and walked out with Cooper, taking the bike with them. A CTA security guard witnessed the robbery, prosecutors said.

The victim was a 48-year-old man from Cicero.

It is impossible not to notice that Illinois’ lenient sentencing and early-release policies are enabling repeat violent offenders, especially in high-crime cities like Chicago, run by progressive Democrats.

Despite the graphic, racially charged nature of his prior crime, Cooper was back on the streets in no time, able to strike again.
