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.

HOUSE GOP STRIKES BACK: Furious Republicans Move to ADD ICE Funding and Voter ID to Senate’s DHS Garbage Deal With Democrats — Will Force ‘Cowardly Senators’ Back to D.C.

House Republicans are done playing games with the Senate’s latest RINO surrender.

In the early hours of Friday morning, the Senate, reportedly with only five senators present, passed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding package by voice vote.

But there was a catch.

The bill conveniently excluded full funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and key components of Customs and Border Protection, the very agencies responsible for immigration enforcement, deportation operations, and cracking down on criminal illegal alien activity, including drug and sex trafficking.

Thune left D.C. immediately following the betrayal, reportedly escorted by a private detail for a two-week Easter recess.

The House Freedom Caucus and MAGA patriots aren’t letting this surrender stand. Republicans in the House are already moving to amend the Senate’s pathetic offering, intending to force the Senate to actually do its job.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) announced that the House Republicans will amend the garbage deal, restoring funding for ICE and adding a voter ID requirement.

Rep. Ogles: “So what the Senate did last night was they passed a bill that did not fully fund the government, meaning child sex trafficking investigation unit isn’t funded. They didn’t fully fund Homeland Security. So we’re focused on amending the bill and putting that back in, and we’re going to add in voter ID in the process. They’re cowardly. They didn’t do their job, and now they left town. They should come back and they should have to do their job.”

WATCH:

According to NOTUS, House Speaker Mike Johnson is preparing to put a 60-day continuing resolution (CR) on the floor this weekend.

This CR would fund all of DHS, including the critical ICE operations the Senate tried to kill.

Majority Whip Tom Emmer reportedly informed members that President Trump has given the “go-ahead” to pursue this strategy to protect the homeland.

WATCH: Vance Torches Senate for Planning Vacation Amid DHS Shutdown, Calls Filibuster Defense the ‘DUMBEST Political Argument,’ Demands They Nuke It to Pass SAVE America Act

Vice President JD Vance torched Senate Republican leadership on Friday for preparing to leave town for a two-week recess while the partial government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security drags on and the SAVE America Act remains stalled by a Democratic filibuster.

In an interview with Benny Johnson, Vance made clear that Congress has urgent business that cannot wait.

When asked directly whether the Senate should go on recess right now, Vance responded, “No, of course not. Of course not. We should at least, the very minimum product that we should get before anybody’s going on recess is, let’s reopen the Department of Homeland Security!”

Vance also eviscerated the argument for protecting the filibuster, calling it “the DUMBEST political argument I have ever seen.”

“So, when Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski say, ‘well, we need to protect the filibuster because the Democrats, they’re not going to do it. So, we shouldn’t do it either,’” Vance continued. “The Democrats ruined the career of Kyrsten Sinema for not overruling the filibuster. They’re going to do it. So, we might as well do it now to enforce the protection of the American electoral system.”

The VP stated that he is “ready today” to cast the tie-breaking vote if 50 Senate Republicans have the courage to eliminate the filibuster and advance the bill.

WATCH:

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, formally H.R. 7296, requires proof of citizenship when registering to vote and valid photo identification to cast a ballot in federal elections.

The bill passed the House earlier this year and has been a top priority for President Trump, who has repeatedly pressed Senate Republicans to take it up and, if necessary, change Senate rules to overcome Democratic opposition.

Senate currently lacks the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster.

Republicans are divided on whether to nuke the procedural hurdle.

The inability to pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security has caused widespread TSA staffing shortages, flight delays, and long security lines at airports across the country.

Chaos Erupts as House Leaders Reject Senate-Passed Bill to Fund DHS as Senators Flee DC for Two-Week Recess (VIDEO)

House Freedom Caucus leaders on Friday rejected a Senate-passed DHS funding bill as Senators leave town for a two-week Easter recess.

The Senate very early Friday morning, after a marathon session, unanimously approved a voice-vote package to fund the Department of Homeland Security, except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and key parts of Customs and Border Protection.

Democrats flat-out refused to support full funding without gutting immigration raids and deportation operations.

Instead of fighting for the full funding, Thune and the Senate GOP folded in the dead of night, when no one was watching.

Thune then left town with a private escort.

Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) on Friday morning said the Freedom Caucus leaders are going to flat-out reject the Senate’s bill.

“What the Senate just sent over to the House is so laughably bad – uh, we’re rejecting it out of hand,” Chip Roy said.

He continued, “They sent over a bill that’s not gonna fund ICE and Border Patrol and stand with the great men and women that are defending our country. We reject that. We’re gonna stand along side our law enforcement personnel. We’re gonna have a full-throated debate. We’re gonna decide what we’re gonna do but suffice it to say, we’re gonna stand with those who are standing up for us for defending our country. We need to fully fund them… we’re not gonna move this Senate bill.”

“We’re gonna move something better and we’re gonna send it back to the Senate,” he added.

Many Senators have already left town so if the House agrees on a bill it will be stalled in the Senate – once again.

WATCH:

Chip Roy, flanked by other Freedom Caucus members like Andy Biggs, blasted the Senate bill in remarks to the media.

“It is absolutely offensive to the people that we represent that the Senate would send over a bill that doesn’t fund Border Patrol and the core components of ICE,” he said.

“Could the Senate be any more lazy than to send to us a bill that doesn’t do the job and then leave town? So we’re going to stand up and say NO to that. We’re going to send back a bill that’s responsible to the American people,” he said.
