Afghan Christian women are getting raped
Open Doors has released a video interview on YouTube of an Afghan Christian woman who tells the real story of what the Taliban is doing to the few Christians remaining in Afghanistan.
Shockingly, Christian women are being raped. Anybody caught speaking to Christians may be killed. In fact, a butcher who sold meat to Christians was killed. And the woman’s brother-in-law was killed for his faith.
In addition, Christians who have fled Afghanistan into Pakistan and Iran now face the threat of deportation back into Afghanistan because the Taliban government has soured relationships with its neighboring countries.
China, Russia and America all spending more on military
The world is arming up.
China hiked its 2026 defense budget to $275 billion — a 10.4% increase year on year. This follows 7% increases over the previous two years —- making for a 25% increase in three years.
Meantime, Russia has increase its military budget four-fold since the early 2020s, according to a report from the Center for European Policy Analysis.
And the U.S. military budget has seen a 5% increase over the last three years. The latest number for the 2026 defense program is $839 billion.
Iran’s nuclear capability inspiring American nuclear-proof bunker sales
Fox News reports that Iran has 1,014 pounds of 60%-enriched uranium. That’s enough to make 11 nuclear bombs. And it’s an increase from 881 pounds of enriched uranium last year, and 194 pounds in 2023.
The Telegraph also reports an increase in nuclear-proof bunkers sales here in America. One manufacturer claims his customer base includes two senior-level Trump cabinet members, as well as Mark Zuckerburg of Facebook and Instagram and other elites. Monthly sales for Atlas Survival Shelters reportedly have bumped up 25-fold this year.
Homosexual Australian Education official blasted homeschooling
The Australian government may be coming for homeschoolers.
Australia’s Assistant Minister for International Education, Julian Hill, a self-avowed homosexual, blasted homeschooling, claiming it threatened “social cohesion.”
Hill stated, “There are reports of quite extreme or conservative curricula being used which gives cause for pause and reflection if this trend continues. What is being taught to these kids? Are they mixing with broader society?”
Threats and restrictions against homeschoolers are on the rise both in the United States and abroad. However, homeschooling continues to grow worldwide, and by leaps and bounds in Australia.
Deuteronomy 6:4-7 says, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”
New Jersey and Hawaii aiming for homeschoolers
The American Left has got homeschooling in its sights as well.
New Jersey lawmakers are pushing bills that would add registration, annual notice, evaluations, record keeping, and even yearly “health and wellness” meetings with school officials for homeschool families.
And Hawaiian lawmakers are considering bills that would require homeschool students to take state tests in person at public schools.
Trump urged Congress to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act
President Donald Trump is refusing to sign any bills that reach his desk until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, passes the Senate.
He stressed the need for its passage in his February 24th State of the Union address.
Listen.
TRUMP: “I’m asking you to approve the Save America Act to stop illegal aliens and others who are unpermitted persons, from voting in our sacred American elections. The cheating is rampant in our elections. It’s rampant. It’s very simple: All voters must show voter ID.”
Though the SAVE Act works to ensure the safety of American elections, it faces a filibuster by Democrats in the Senate, requiring a 60-vote majority to pass.
Call both of your U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121 to vote for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or SAVE Act. You can call that number 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 202-224-3121.
Jesse Jackson vowed to go further than Karl Marz
As The Worldview reported on February 27th, the scandalized Baptist pastor, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, has died.
Former presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden attended his funeral over the weekend.
Jackson’s political career was stymied when he admitted to an extramarital affair and a child born out of wedlock in the early 2000s. The lapsed preacher told the New Yorker Magazine that his adultery was “in the big ledger of sins, a relatively minor offense”, not requiring any leave-taking from ministry.
Jackson was an admirer of Karl Marx, visited Marx’s grave, and committed himself to advocating for the redistribution of wealth. Worse yet, he said he wanted to “go beyond” where Marx had stopped.
Let’s watch out. The Scriptures warn of teachers “having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. … These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.” (2 Peter 2:14,17)
57% of Americans never attend church
Religious affiliation continues to decline in the United States.
According to the latest Gallup polling, a record-breaking 24% of Americans identify with no particular religion, up from 8% in 2005.
Roman Catholic affiliation has also reached its lowest level at 20%. And Protestant affiliation is down to 44%, from a high of 70% in the 1950s. Only 31% of Americans attend church almost weekly now, down from 43% twenty years ago.
Sadly, 57% never attend church. That’s the highest level recorded in recent history.
In addition, only 47% of Americans consider religion as “very important,” down from 52% in 2016 and 70% in 1965.
Gallup’s senior editor Megan Brenan explained, “Younger adults are both less likely to identify with a religion and less likely to attend services, reshaping the nation’s religious landscape as they constitute a growing share of the population.”
Louisiana Governor eager for Ten Commandments to post in classrooms
And finally, Louisiana Republican Governor Jeff Landry is urging Louisiana schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
The state passed a law in 2024 that required all classrooms to post a copy of the Ten Commandments, but the law had been blocked by the courts until last month.
In comments on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, Governor Landry said schools have no reason to delay any longer.
LANDRY: “It’s time for them to go ahead and implement the law. These posters have been donated and have been distributed to our schools. They have no reason not to be able to post them. They don’t have to worry about any litigation or legal recourse. The Attorney General will handle any of those types of issues that may come about.”
In Deuteronomy 11:18, God said, “Fix these words of Mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.”
