Hong Kong man critical of Chinese Communists sentenced to 20 years

In a Hong Kong court, religious freedom and free speech advocate Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to twenty years in prison for publishing articles against the communist Chinese government.

Lai is a British Citizen and an adherent of the Catholic Church. World journalists are marking the case as a worldwide setback for freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

The United Kingdom home office has responded to the news.

The Hong Kong Free Press reports that “British national status holders will be able to immigrate into the U.K. with their children. The office estimates that 26,000 people will arrive in the U.K. over the next five years.”

Thousands of Tanzanians murdered

Political upheaval, tyranny, and blood in the streets is the order of the day in Tanzania over the last few months. 

Some reports have revealed the government of President Samia Suluhu Hassan killed thousands of Tanzanians. Hassan is a Muslim who was re-elected in a landslide victory last October, marred by accusations of massive fraud.  That’s when the African country was plunged into chaos and rioting. 

The bloodshed and terror has gone on for months, reports The Washington Stand. In an effort to conceal the atrocities taking place there, the government has reportedly shut down the internet.

Tanzania is at least nominally Christian with a 57 percent Christian population and a 37 percent Muslim population, as the Muslim creep hits south Saharan Africa.

Christian martyrdom grows with Muslim population in Nigeria

Islamic influence is growing in Nigeria as well — a nation where 56 percent of the population is Muslim and 43 percent is Christian. This has resulted in the martyrdom of 50,000 Christians and the displacement of millions of Christians from their homeland.  

Pray for our Christian brothers and sisters and the people of Tanzania, Nigeria, and Uganda. 

Civilian killings continue in Nigeria

Last Tuesday, almost 200 Nigerians were killed by gunmen in the communities of Woro and Katsina, reports the International Center for Transitional Justice. Woro is located in the western Nigerian state of Kwara, while Katsina is in the northern region of the country.

Psalm 35:1 says, “Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.”

War Department will no longer work with Harvard

War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the War Department will no longer send military officers to Harvard. He slammed the university for what he called its support of terrorism and the Chinese Communist Party.  

Hegseth said, “Too many of our officers came back looking too much like Harvard — heads full of globalist and radical ideologies that do not improve our fighting ranks.”

The War Department is set to re-evaluate all Ivy League school partnerships. 

Virginia Democrats unveil gerrymandered congressional map

Democrat lawmakers in Virginia put forward a new congressional map heading into the midterm elections this November.

The Old Dominion state map heavily favors Democrats, giving them four extra seats, while the Republicans would lose four seats. This comes after the Supreme Court ruled that the new congressional map for California was valid, giving Democrats five additional seats.

Virginia Democrats swept the last election, winning races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General. 

All told, gerrymandering in Virginia, California, and a few other states should yield the Democrats an additional 5 to 9 seats in Congress in 2026. And gerrymandering in Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri could yield the Republicans an additional 6 to 10 seats in the upcoming election.

Connecticut works to expand abortion access

Connecticut is launching a billboard campaign to promote abortion and death, reports LifeSiteNews.

The campaign, sponsored by the Reproductive Equity Now Foundation, is advertising the state’s commitment to make the killing of unborn children more accessible. Billboards will announce a state-provided pro-abortion hotline. 

Connecticut Democrat Attorney General William Tong talked about his state’s culture of death. He said, “Abortion is safe, legal and accessible here in Connecticut, and that’s the way it’s going to stay.” 

But Proverbs 31:9 instructs us to “Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.”

GOP Rep chastises NBC & NFL for Bad Bunny’s foul lyrics

And finally, Sunday’s Super Bowl half-time show turned into one big leftist political statement with Benito Ocasio, known as Bad Bunny, and a few other characters, who openly opposed President Trump’s “America First” policies.  

To his shame, the Puerto Rican singer sang a bunch of foul-mouthed, sexually-explicit lyrics in Spanish.

Republican Congressman Randy Fine of Florida did not pull any punches in his X post. He wrote, “You can’t say the f-word on live TV. Bad Bunny’s disgusting halftime show was illegal. Had he said these lyrics — and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth — in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous.

“We are sending FCC Chairman Brendan Carr a letter calling for dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews, against the NFL, NBC, and Bad Bunny. Lock them up.”

You can send a short 2-4 sentence letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, urging him to levy these fines.  The address is Federal Communications Commission, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554.

Kid Rock, on Turning Point USA’s half-time show, pointed to Christ

Meanwhile, Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, simulcast their alternative “All-American Halftime Show” featuring Robert Ritchie known as Kid Rock. Some 20 to 30 million Americans tuned in, reports Fox News.

Kid Rock threw in another verse to the hit song “Til You Can’t.” Check out the lyrics.

KID ROCK: “There’s a book a’sitting in your house somewhere that could use some dusting off . . . There’s a man who died for all our sins a’hanging from the cross. You can give your life to Jesus and He’ll give you a second chance, till you can’t.” 

Other performers included Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. 

War Secretary Pete Hegseth and House Speaker Mike Johnson both praised the Turning Point event, reports Politico.
