Pray for Christians in Nigeria, suffering the most severe violence in the world today.
Romania turns left after election interference
On Sunday, Romania has taken the centrist-left position with the election of a new president named Nicușor Dan.
Dan is supportive of Romania’s participation in the European Union, and has made moves to approve the homosexual/transgender movement in his country.
The more conservative candidate, George-Nicolae Simion, lost the election in a vote of 54% to 46%.
Romania is the second largest Eastern European country by population. The mainstream media is interpreting this election as an international rejection of the Trump agenda.
The back story is that Călin Georgescu, the conservative in the first round of the Romanian presidential election last December, garnered the most votes among the six presidential candidates at that time. After his opponents claimed that Russia had influenced the election through TikTok accounts, Romanian government officials detained Georgescu, canceled that election, and re-set it for May 18th. Tens of thousands of Romanians protested in the streets back in March.
At the time, Elon Musk said, “They just arrested the person who won the most votes in the Romanian presidential election. This is messed up.”
Most and least benevolent countries

Biden announces advanced prostate cancer
Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, reports CBS News.
On Sunday, President Trump posted on social media that he and First Lady Melania Trump are “saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis.”
Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday, former Obama health advisor Dr. Zeke Emanuel said the cancer is so advanced, he has had it for many years.
SCARBOROUGH: “Doesn’t it take some time for prostate cancer to develop to a point where it would spread to the bones?”
EMANUEL: “He’s had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading.”
Dr. Emanuel explained how serious Biden’s prostate cancer truly is.
EMANUEL: “That Gleason score, that score is from 2 up to 10, and he’s at a 9. That means that the cancer doesn’t look normal. It looks very abnormal.”
Appearing on Fox News with Jesse Waters, talk show host Hugh Hewitt was incredulous.
HEWITT: “This is the fourth time, in a little over 100 years, that a Democratic president — Woodrow Wilson, FDR, John F. Kennedy and now Joe Biden, have hidden crucial details about their health as Commander-in-Chief from the American people. Ronald Reagan did not do that.
“And it just astonishes me that in a free republic, we have to worry about our leaders telling us whether they’re healthy or not.”
Supremes allows Trump to revoke protection for thousands of illegal Venezuelans
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling allowing the Trump administration to deport 350,000 Venezuelans who are presently living in the U.S. on what they call a “humanitarian parole,” reports NBC News.
Christian camp sues over foolish transgender mandates
The State of Colorado is threatening to shut down a Christian Camp called Idrahaje — short for “I’d Rather Have Jesus.”
The Colorado Department of Early Childhood has refused to grant the camp a religious exemption concerning its transgender policies. This would require the camp to allow boys, pretending to be girls, to sleep, shower, and dress with female campers.
The camp has sued the state, with representation from Alliance Defending Freedom. The camp disciples 2,500 to 3,000 students each year with the mission to “win souls to Jesus Christ through the spreading of the Gospel.”
Camp Idrahaje has complied with all regulations until this year when the Colorado government officials released new gender identity rules that became effective on February 14, 2025.
96% of atheists embrace homosexual/transgender agenda
The most likely group in America to support the homosexual/transgender agenda are atheists with 96% professing support. By contrast, 70% of white Evangelical Protestants oppose the lifestyle.
Psalm 14:1 describes the atheist this way: “The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works.”
Mother loses right to disciple daughter
Liberty Counsel is defending a mother in the state of Maine who has lost the right to guide the religious upbringing of her 11-year-old girl in a custody case. This includes taking her daughter to Calvary Chapel services on Sunday.
A state district judge has ruled against the mother, citing “The ‘fear mongering,’ paranoia, and anxiety taught by Calvary Chapel has, more likely than not, already had an impact on [the daughter’s] childhood development.”
Expert testimony concluded that Calvary Chapel is a cult, the church’s pastor a “charismatic” speaker, who spoke “authoritatively” in his messages, and that he asserted his messages were objective truth.
Liberty Counsel is appealing the case to the Maine Supreme Court.
They still persecute people who preach about Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 says, “For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.”
Housing prices sag
Since June 2022, housing prices are sagging in some metro areas around the U.S. — 22.8% in the Austin market, 9.9% in the Phoenix market, 9.2% in the San Francisco market, 9.1% in the San Antonio Market, 7.3% in the Denver market, and 6.7% in the Dallas Market.
The Consumer Price Index has also risen about 10% over that period of time.
Moody’s downgraded America’s financial rating
And finally, in a year-over-year comparison, the U.S. government is still breaking records for fiscal expenditures running 10% over Fiscal Year 2024.
Moody’s has downgraded the U.S. as a long-term issuer of bonds by one notch, ending a perfect rating for America over the last 108 years. No longer does the U.S, government get a Aaa rating, the highest level available. Now, it’s an Aa1.
Moody’s noted that the downgrade “reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns.”
The rating organization added that: “Successive U.S. administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs.”
Another independent rating service, named Fitch, downgraded the United States in 2023.
