Easter massacre in Nigeria

Easter weekend was one long, bloody massacre for Christians in Nigeria, reports TruthNigeria.com.

Heavily armed Fulani Muslim insurgents burned down three Christian communities in Nasarawa State. Sadly, the Nigerian government offered no protections for the Christians.

The Muslim Fulani tore through the Benue State chanting “Allahu Akbar,” burning houses and killing 17 residents there. Again, witnesses say the government offered no protection. On Sunday, 15 more Christian worshipers were killed in the Southern Kaduna State.

Please, pray for the heavily oppressed Nigerian Christians.

Will Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán win re-election?

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán may be on his way out.

The Prime Minister, who is a close friend to the Trump administration, and has held power for 16 years, is slumping in the polls. Opposition candidate Peter Magyar is garnering support among young Hungarians, and some polls have his Tisza Party at 50% support. Viktor Orbán has been known as a fierce nationalist over the years.

The elections will take place this Friday.

Hungary drops in Freedom Index

Since Orban’s election to office in 2010, Hungary’s rating on the Heritage Foundation Freedom Index has witnessed a 7% drop. Plus, The Freedom House index registers a 30% loss in freedom for Hungary since 2010.

Freedom of the press has also lost ground. Reporters Without Borders puts Hunrgry at the 68th place in the world, down from 23rd place in 2010.

During the COVID years, spreading “false information” about the pandemic was made a crime, punishable by five years in prison. State control of private property increased during Orban’s administration from 11% to 16.5% of the Gross Domestic Product which is the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within the country's borders in a year.

And homeschooling is practically banned in Hungary.

Orban’s government has held the ground on pro-family issues relating to abortion and LGBTQ sexual perversion indoctrination in schools.

Pew Research reports that Hungary is in religious decline. Orban’s efforts to raise the birth rate have largely failed, with the 2025 birth rate dropping to 1.31. Only 17% of Hungarians attend religious services weekly or monthly, and only 16% of the population say they pray daily. That compares to 29% for the region of Eastern Europe.

King Charles ignores Easter and celebrates Ramadan

The English monarch, King Charles III, broke tradition this year and neglected to include a message to Christians on the day that many churches celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.

Instead, on the Royal Family’s account, he opted to celebrate the Islamic holiday, Ramadan. King Charles wrote, "Wishing all Muslims in the U.K., the Commonwealth and around the world, a blessed and peaceful Ramadan.” In Luke 9:26, Jesus said, “For whoever is ashamed of Me and of My words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.”

President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi

President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi on April 2nd, reported NBC News. He has temporarily appointed Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to the position.

In a post on Truth Social, President Trump wrote that Bondi “will be transitioning to a much-needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.”

Bondi, a Trump loyalist, had taken heat for her handling of the Epstein Files. That’s the second of five female cabinet members to be removed in the last two months, following the dismissal of Kristi Noem as Department of Homeland Security Secretary.

Senator Rand Paul flirting with presidential run

Appearing on CBS’ Sunday Morning, Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul is floating a potential presidential bid in 2028.

PAUL: “There used to really be a free market/libertarian wing of the party. And now there's not much left. In fact, on many days, it's me in the Senate, the only one left for free trade.

“But I think there still is a desire among business for it, and it may make the so-called libertarian vote, which might not be big enough to ever win anything, if you combine that with the Chamber of Commerce and the traditional business community, that doesn't like protectionism, there may be a force out there for a different direction from the party, other than being continued to be led by populism.”

REPORTER: “There was recently a headline in the Washington Examiner: ‘Rand Paul sounds like he's running for president.’”<...
