Muslims killed Nigerian pastor, wounded his son, and killed 12 others
Armed Muslims killed a pastor and a believer on their way to worship God on Sunday morning in Plateau State, Nigeria, reports International Christian Concern. The pastor’s son is in critical condition.
This was not an isolated attack.
Just hours earlier, five laborers in the region were shot on their way to work. Gunmen also terrorized several surrounding communities, ultimately killing 13 people.
These murders reflect the heightened outbreaks against Christians and Christian-majority areas in the country. According to TruthNigeria, this past week, 41 people were reportedly killed, and at least 100 were kidnapped.
In Revelation 6:9-10, it says, “When [Jesus] opened the fifth seal, [John the disciple] saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, ‘How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitants of the Earth and avenge our blood?’”
Argentinian President: The United Nations is “useless”
In a gutsy appearance before the United Nations, Argentinian President Javier Milei said, “[The United Nations] has become a useless organization whose only purpose is to sustain a caste of fatally arrogant parasites masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats.”
Incoming Democrat Rep. arrested in anti-Israel protest
Dozens of New York Democratic politicians, including incoming Democratic Socialist Congresswoman Darializa Chevalier, were among those arrested on September 24th for ignoring police orders during an anti-Israel protest of 250 people, reports The Western Journal.
Chevalier is a socialist ally of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani who is expected to be in Congress come January. She was protesting the speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations General Assembly whom she called a “war criminal.”
She said, “As the Democratic nominee for New York’s 13th Congressional District, I refuse to allow a war criminal to roam the streets of our city unchallenged. I refuse to play host to a man who has overseen the slaughter or injury of more than 64,000 children in Gaza with American taxpayer dollars.”
While Chevalier has not yet won the election, a very deep blue New York 13th District practically guarantees a victory.
The politician arrested for disrespecting the rule of law has previously tweeted about abolishing police, prisons, and borders, and has explicitly called for the government to seize private property.
In one now deleted September 2021 post, Chevalier wrote, “A world without borders—just like a world without prisons or police—is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.”
Media commentator: We are not spin doctors for Democrats
Appearing on PBS’ NewsHour, David Brooks of The Atlantic surprised his leftist media colleagues by asserting that too many in the mainstream media have become too cozy with Democrat politicians from whom they should distance themselves.
Listen.
BROOKS: “Starting in 2015, we, in the mainstream media, learned that, if you bash Donald Trump, the clicks go up, the ratings go up. It became the business model. We play it straight. We do our job, but it’s become the business model.
“We get to go to dinners, sometimes off-the-record dinners, between journalists, columnists, and politicians. It used to be, when you were at a dinner, an off-the-record dinner with the Democratic politician, there was distance between the journalists and the Democrats, because they’re politicians. Our job is to keep some distance.
“In my view, at many places and in many of the dinners I have been to, there’s no distance anymore. And that is a problem for the media. And that is our problem. We have got to re-establish some distance from the Democratic Party.
“These are people we cover. They’re not people we root for. They’re not people we’re spin doctors for. They’re people we cover.”

Supreme Court allows Trump to verify only U.S. citizens vote
In a 6-3 decision on September 25th, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to resume its expanded voter citizenship verification program, which lets states use Social Security records to check voters’ citizenship to ensure that noncitizens do not illegally vote in the upcoming November 3rd election, reports CBS News.
That decision paused a lower court order by U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan in June that claimed that the voter verification system somehow violated federal privacy laws. Not surprisingly, Judge Sooknanan was a Biden appointee.
Leftist Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Jackson dissented.
New Jersey Lt. Gov. resigned over sexual harassment complaint
On September 25th, New Jersey Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that Democratic Lt. Governor Dale Caldwell resigned from his position amid allegations in an ethics report that claimed he violated state sexual harassment policies, reports The Epoch Times.
A 61-page report, conducted by a law firm commissioned by the governor’s office, found that Caldwell made an advance toward a female staffer’s friend and allegedly made a crude remark to the staffer. The staffer also attempted “to distance herself from him and to avoid travel with him when possible.”
Kind gesture of pizza delivery driver richly rewarded
And finally, when a Domino’s store in Boise, Idaho ran out of Diet Coke, the 68-year-old delivery driver, Dan Simpson, took it upon himself this past March to make a special trip to a nearby grocery store and personally pay for a 2-liter soda for the customer to accompany the pepperoni pizza, reports The New York Post.
When the surprised customer heard about what happened, he offered to reimburse Dan. Simpson refused, saying that they had tipped him well and he just wanted to make sure that their order was right.
Listen to that encounter captured on the customer’s Ring camera.
SIMPSON: “We were out of Diet Cokes.”
WILSON: “Okay.”
SIMPSON: “I stopped at the store, though.”
WILSON: “Oh, you did not have to do that.”
SIMPSON: “That’s okay.”
WILSON: “Did you really?”
SIMPSON: “Yeah, that’s all right.”
Brian Wilson, the man who placed the order, explained to Channel 2 News, why Dan’s act of kindness meant so much to him and his wife.
WILSON: “Our situation is unique in the fact that my wife and I are both visually impaired. We share the same retinal disease. Hers is more progressed than mine.
“So, she doesn’t unfortunately drive at all. I do still have daytime ability to drive, but at night, when you got those Diet Coke cravings, you can’t just run up to the store, right? It’s not as easy for us as it would be for someone else who is sighted completely.”
Galatians 5:22 lists the fruit of the Spirit to include “love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”
According to the now viral video captured by the Ring camera, and seen by millions of people, the couple, who were dazzled by Simpson’s helpfulness, created a social media donation page which raised enough money to help the pizza delivery man to retire.
SIMPSON: “I checked my bank account, and there was $163,000. What a retirement gift that was!”
Simpson was especially grateful because he had been juggling a full-time job in addition to delivering pizza at night for the past 13 years.
In an interview with KTVB-TV, Simpson shared that he had previously abused alcohol, but had learned his lesson.
SIMPSON: “I got in a lot of trouble with drinking and drugs, and I’ve been clean and sober now for well, this September, I think will be 24 years. I did go to prison twice for DUIs, and when I got out, I said, ‘That’s it!’ I knew I’d never drink again. I was just finally done. Ever since I stepped out of prison, I’ve basically worked two jobs and worked hard and tried to do the right thing.”
Remarkably, he plans to continue to deliver pizza on the weekends, so he doesn’t get bored in retirement.
