Nigerian Muslims killed 16 Christians
On Sunday, February 2nd, Fulani Islamic extremists stormed a village in Ebonyi State in southern Nigeria, killing Christians and setting their homes on fire.
Tragically, at least 16 Christians connected with The Lord Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry died in the attack, reports International Christian Concern.
British farmers protest proposed inheritance tax
Hundreds of tractors blocked the road leading to the British Parliament building in London yesterday, reports the BBC.
The liberal government announced late last year they would be adding a 20% inheritance tax on agricultural assets including land worth over £1.3 million pounds for the first time.
Nigel Farage, a Member of Parliament, spoke to the protesting farmers.
FARAGE: “From what I can see, Joe Public is getting behind the concept that the family farm should not be driven out of existence. So politically, I think we can win this.
“This inheritance tax, it isn’t just the farms that it hits. It’s family businesses as well. In fact, inheritance tax, when you think about it, it’s on money that we paid tax on already. The whole thing’s monstrous. Let’s just stand up and say no to death taxes. Full stop. End death taxes. They’re wrong. They’re immoral at every level.” (cheers, applause)
Farmers claim the inheritance tax will drive food prices up and bankrupt some farming families.
Job 24:1-3 speaks of this: “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, why do those who know Him see not His days? Some remove landmarks; They seize flocks violently and feed on them; They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; They take the widow’s ox as a pledge.”
GOP Chair introduced transgendered Rep. as biological man
Here in the United States, the acting chair of the House of Representatives, Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois, would not refer to a certain representative of the state of Delaware as a woman.
Representative McBride of Delaware is pretending to be a woman — the first transgendered person elected to the U.S. legislative branch. Listen to the audio for the introduction that occurred last Thursday.
MILLER: “The chair recognizes the gentleman from Delaware, Mr. McBride, for five minutes.”
McBRIDE: “Thank you, Madam Speaker. When I was elected, I promised to work with anyone who would help Delaware and Delawarians.”
Tim McBride, who once served as President of the student body at American University in D.C., has taken on the name Sarah.
House Speaker Mike Johnson announced last November that “transgender women may not use women’s restrooms in the Capitol … to include changing rooms and locker rooms.”
Philadelphia Eagles coach gave God the glory
Head Coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, Nick Siranni, gave thanks to God after his team won the Super Bowl on Sunday.
REPORTER: “Nick, Super Bowl champions. What does the moment mean?”
SIRANNI: “Man, God has blessed us very much. He gave us all the talents to be able to get here. So, first and foremost, thanks to Him. Thank God. Thank You, Jesus.”
The Eagles stopped the Kansas City Chiefs, on an attempt to break a Super Bowl record with a three-in-a-row Super Bowl win.
Both quarterbacks in the game, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, are professing Christians. After his 40-22 win over the Chiefs, Hurts told Fox News that “God is good. He’s greater than all the highs and the lows.”
Psalm 96:4-5 exhorts us to “Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.”
Gold has doubled since 2020

52% of American teens super motivated to learn about Jesus
Barna Research has found that 52% of American teens say they are very motivated, and 25% say somewhat motivated to continue learning about Jesus throughout the rest of their lives.

FEMA paid $59 million to house illegals in luxury hotels last week
Elon Musk posted on X just yesterday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had given over “$59 million to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants” just last week, reports The Epoch Times.
Musk called this a violation of law.
The U.S. House Budget Committee found that the federal government had spent $88 billion in 2023 taking care of illegal immigrants. As of May 13th, 2024, the illegal immigrant crisis has racked up costs for federal and state governments of anywhere between $150 billion to $400 billion.
Back in 2023, half of New York City’s hotel rooms were occupied by illegals, many of whom had been sent to New York City from Texas.
Fourth American to receive pig’s kidney
Surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital have successfully performed the fourth pig kidney transplant in America, reports U.S. News and World Report. Unfortunately, the first two recipients last year did not survive.
The third received the genetically edited kidney in November, and the fourth just last week.
It marks a major step in efforts to address a critical nationwide shortage of donor organs.
R.I.P. American penny!
And finally, the American penny is no more, reports the Associated Press.
President Donald Trump has instructed the Treasury Department to cease minting the penny — which most recently has cost 3.7 cents to produce, representing a loss of $85 million per year.
Interestingly, the U.S. Mint made 3.2 billion pennies last year. That’s more than half of all the new coins it made in 2024.
