Nigerian Muslims killed 9 Christians
On June 1st and 2nd, Fulani Muslim herdsmen killed at least nine Christians in Plateau State, Nigeria, following the slaughter of 27 others days before, reports Morning Star News. The attacks took place in Bokkos County in predominantly Christian communities.
Emmanuel Auta, a local resident, said, “Christians [are] being butchered.”
Another resident, Lilian Madaki, said, “Among some of the Christian victims that I know is a 14-year-old Christian teenager who was shot and wounded and is currently being treated at a hospital.”
And, in a text to Christian Daily International, Yakubu Kefas wrote, “The attackers, who we believe are Fulani terrorists, are carrying out indiscriminate shootings, killings, and large-scale arson, resulting in widespread terror, Christian casualties, and destruction of property.”
Please pray for our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ in Plateau State, Nigeria.
Proverbs 21:15 says, “When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.”
Trump bans new visas for foreign nationals from 12 countries
On June 4, President Donald Trump issued a full suspension on new visas for foreign nationals from a dozen countries applying for entry to the United States and a partial suspension on nationals from another seven, reports TheEpochTimes.com.
The proclamation is set to go into effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on June 9.
A full suspension will go into effect for nationals from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
A partial suspension will affect nationals from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.
This executive action comes after the Secretary of State and assistant to the president on Homeland Security filed a report on April 9 identifying countries with such deficient vetting and screening information that a full or partial suspension of entry for their nationals was warranted.
‘60 Minutes’ anchor Scott Pelley ripped for “angry, unhinged” speech criticizing Trump
Outraged critics blasted longtime CBS “60 Minutes” anchor Scott Pelley as “angry” and “unhinged” after he delivered a fear-baced tirade against President Donald Trump during a commencement speech in North Carolina, reports the New York Post.
The CBS newscaster warned Wake Forest University’s graduating class on May 19 that “insidious fear” has infiltrated schools, businesses, and homes across the nation — leaving America in a state of “peril.”
Listen.
PELLEY: “In this moment, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes.”
Scott Jennings, the conservative commentator on CNN, called Pelley out for such a ridiculous statement.
JENNINGS: “On the free speech issue, I don’t know what America Scott Pelley is living in. We have more speech now than ever. There is no problem with free speech in America. What we do have a problem with are people who don’t speak truthfully, who are interested more in narratives than truth, and who are using what used to be journalism for activism. We do have a problem with that.”
Jennings asserted that 60 Minutes on CBS is a platform that is more interested in a leftist narrative than the truth.
JENNINGS: “If you’ve watched 60 Minutes for five minutes over the last several years, you would know it’s not fair. This is one of the shows, this is one of the outlets that conservatives would point to most often to say: ‘This is the state of American journalism. It’s only here to try to hurt Republicans, hurt conservatives, hurt Donald Trump.’”
Painting of Jesus returned to prominent location at naval academy
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced that he is restoring an historic painting of Jesus Christ to its place of prominence at the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, after it had been taken down by Biden-era officials, reports LifeSiteNews.com.
Known as “Christ on the water,” the painting depicts Jesus walking on the water in stormy seas toward merchant seamen adrift in a lifeboat, presumably after being torpedoed.
DUFFY: “We are moving Jesus out of the basement. To all the great midshipmen at the Merchant Marine Academy, you let me know how important this painting was to all of you. Now, we all know it was taken out of a place of prominence and put it down in the basement.
“I worked with the Academy, and because this is such a historic painting, I’m announcing that through that work with the Academy, this painting is going to go from the basement back to its place of prominence. It’ll be a moment to celebrate.”
It was painted by Lieutenant Hunter Wood in 1944 as a tribute to all merchant seamen who had been torpedoed during World War II.
Actor Kevin Sorbo champions U.S. Christian heritage in new movie
In the new docudrama called The American Miracle, historian Paul Kengor, one of 14 historians, captures how pivotal the Declaration of Independence and the subsequent American Revolution was for the world.
KENGOR: “America in 1776: This is a watershed event in history. If you were to pick something over the last 450 years, four and a half centuries or so, that truly transformed humanity and the full scope of history, it was 1776.”
The American Miracle movie will hit 1,000 screens across America on three days only – Monday, June 9th, Tuesday, June 10th, and Wednesday, June 11th.
The actor who plays Benjamin Franklin – Barry Stevens — is spot on in terms of appearance and disposition alike.
FRANKLIN: “We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.”
Kevin Sorbo, who portrays the younger Thomas Jefferson, is an enthusiastic advocate that Americans know their own history.
SORBO: “I think there’s not enough history being taught in America anymore. I think people forget about what our Founding Fathers did for this country. Documentaries like this, I think, can help heal a nation, as corny as that sounds. I really do think it’s important to learn history.”
And Pastor Darnell Harper of New Covenant Temple, who screened The American Miracle before its June 9th national release, was amazed to witness God’s divine intervention in America.
HARPER: “I went to history class. I did not learn that God was in the middle of everything that was going on with the birth of our nation, the Constitution, and it just showed the handiwork of God and how God was establishing the United States of America.”
Acts 17:26 says, “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole Earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.”

Pennsylvania Worldview listener wants to pray for persecuted believers
Gayle in Stewartstown, Pennsylvania wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com and said, “I listen to The Worldview every day and continue to give monthly because I feel that the news is truthful and factual and not slanted. I’m grateful to learn about the different countries where preachers and citizens are being persecuted for their faith in Christ. It reminds me to pray daily for the persecuted church around the world. May the Lord continue to bless The Worldview in 5 Minutes.”

12 Worldview listeners gave $4,575 to fund our annual budget
Toward this week’s $30,875 goal to fund one-fourth of The Worldview newscast’s annual budget by tonight at 12 midnight, June 6th, 12 listeners stepped up to the plate on Thursday by 7:35pm Central last night.
Our thanks to Paul in Brush, Colorado and Ben in Eureka, California — both of whom gave $25 as well as Kevin in Freeport, New York and Robin in Wellington, Florida — both of whom gave $50.
We’re grateful to God for Troy in Coeurdalene, Idaho, Rene in Chicago, Illinois, and Jeremy in Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom – each of whom gave $100.
And we appreciate the generosity of Marty in Roseburg, Oregon who gave $125, Jeff in Aloha, Oregon who gave $600, Lee and Ruth in Schertz, Texas who gave $1,000, Rita in Sunman, Indiana who pledged $100 per month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200, and Vern in Poteau, Oklahoma who also pledged $100 per month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200.
Those 12 Worldview listeners gave a total of $4,575. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (Drum roll sound effect) $10,927 (People clapping sound effect) We missed our goal of 20 donors by 8 donors.
That means by midnight tonight, Friday, June 6th, we still need to raise $19,948.
If you, and 19 other listeners, would invest $100 per month for 12 months to help underwrite the cost of the 6-member Worldview news team, we will have funded one-fourth of our annual budget. Help us reach this $30,875 goal.
However, if that’s not affordable, then do something. Even if you pledge just $10/month for 12 months, that’s a whopping $120! No gift is too small or too large as we continue to provide a news source that is accurate and Biblically based.
Just go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right. And click on the button that indicates a recurring donation if you want to give monthly.
