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.

WATCH: Radical Democrats in New York Battleground Congressional District Call to Abolish ICE or ‘Go Back to the Drawing Board’ During Debate, One Candidate Declares ‘Everyone Will be Held Accountable’

Panel discussion featuring four speakers at a conference, with a focus on community engagement and collaboration, set against a decorative backdrop.

Democrats hoping for the chance to unseat Republican Rep. Mike Lawler in New York’s battleground 17th Congressional District made their radical positions on immigration enforcement crystal clear at a candidate forum this week.

In video footage from the Westchester County Democratic Committee’s pre-primary debate on Thursday, at Manhattanville College, a moderator asked the candidates, “Abolish, reform, or keep ICE?”

The responses from three leading contenders left little doubt about their desire to see the agency keeping Americans safe destroyed.

Beth Davidson, the Rockland County legislator who leads early polling in the Democratic primary, responded first.

“Go back to the drawing board,” Davidson said. “We need a system that is humane and streamlined that keeps people safe and allows everyone who plays by the rules a full path to citizenship.”

Effie Phillips-Staley, a progressive Tarrytown Village Trustee and self-described “unapologetic progressive,” was blunter.

“Abolish ICE!” she declared.

Phillips-Staley has made abolishing the agency a centerpiece of her campaign.

On her official website, Phillips-Staley lists “abolishing ICE” among her priorities and published a press release in January titled “A New Vision for a Civil Immigration System,” calling for demilitarizing immigration enforcement and treating it as a civil administrative matter rather than a “paramilitary” operation.

Cait Conley, an Army combat veteran and former election security official from Ossining, framed ICE agents as the problem.

“Everyone will be held accountable,” she said, describing federal agents on American streets who “assault, harass, and kill people sworn to serve.”

Conley’s campaign site states she will fight to “rein in ICE” as part of opposing what she calls the Trump administration’s “unlawful and authoritarian agenda.”

WATCH:

New York’s 17th District, which includes parts of Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties, is a battleground seat.

The Democrat primary is scheduled for June 23.

Davidson currently leads the crowded field in fundraising and name recognition, according to recent polls reported by Politico and Patch.

The district has been a top target for national Democrats hoping to flip the House in the midterms.

Lawler has consistently supported strong border security and interior enforcement measures.

JUST IN: African Charity Sentebale Sues Estranged Founder Prince Harry for Libel

Harry and Sentebale’s chairwoman Sophie Chandauka: lawsuit

An African headache for the self-exiled British Royal.

Twenty years ago, British Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho co-founded a Charity in Africa called Sentebale.

For Harry, it was reportedly a way to honor his late mother, Princess Diana, and ​help young people with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho ​and Botswana.

Harry and Chandauka in happier times

In early 2025, Harry quit his role as a patron for the charity, following high-profile mudslinging in the press, in which he was accused of ‘bullying and harassing’ Sentebale’s chair of ​the board, Sophie Chandauka.

Now, it arises that Sentebale is suing Harry for libel ‌at the High Court in London.

Reuters reported:

“According to a record made public on Friday, ​Sentebale lodged a defamation claim last month at the High Court against Harry and one of his close friends Mark Dyer, who was also ​a trustee of the charity.

There were no details as ​to what the lawsuit involved. Neither Harry’s spokesperson nor the charity immediately responded ‌to ⁠a request for comment.”

UK’s Charity Commission investigated Sentebale

Chandauka reported Harry and the trustees to Britain’s charity regulator ‘for alleged bullying and harassment’.

“After a review, the Charity Commission reported it had ⁠found ​no evidence of bullying, but said ​there had been weak governance and criticized all parties for allowing an internal ​dispute to become public.”

A man threw a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s San Francisco home on Friday morning.

The suspect was taken into custody.

Nobody was hurt.

According to OpenAI, the male suspect also made threats outside of its San Francisco headquarters very early Friday morning.

The suspect has not been identified.

Sam Altman has not released a statement on the incident.

NBC News reported:

San Francisco police early Friday arrested a person who allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman’s home and made threats outside the AI giant’s San Francisco headquarters, the company said in a statement.

“Thankfully, no one was hurt,” OpenAI said.

“We deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD responded and the support from the city in helping keep our employees safe. The individual is in custody, and we’re assisting law enforcement with their investigation,” the company added.

Altman has not publicly addressed the arrest.

In a separate statement, the San Francisco Police Department said officers responded to a home in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco around 4:12 a.m. PT Friday “regarding a fire investigation.”

The officers learned that an unknown man had thrown “an incendiary destructive device at a home, causing a fire to an exterior gate,” police said.

The suspect fled on foot, and his description was broadcast to all officers.
