Mexican cartel violence forces families to flee

The Mexican state of Guerrero is seeing major drug cartel violence from the group Los Ardillos, forcing families and local citizens to flee.

Mexican national forces are almost nowhere to be seen in the region, and according to Marina Velascho, representative of the People’s Indigenous Council of Guerrero, “These have been days of terror. They’ve been bombing communities with drones, and how can one defend themselves from a drone, with bombs falling from the sky.”

Elderly Protestant missionary kidnapped by Mexican drug thugs

The recent violence in the Mexican state of Guerrero is also affecting Christians.

Benito Guevara Arcos, a 79-year-old Protestant missionary, disappeared from the area in recent weeks. An organized criminal group had kidnapped the missionary after taking exception to his preaching.

Sadly, disappearances in Mexico have surged over 200 percent in the last decade. Anna Stangl with Christian Solidarity Worldwide said, “We urge the Mexican government, at all levels, to increase efforts to arrest the influence of organized criminal groups in the country, recognizing the specific threat that these groups pose to religious leaders.”

In John 10:10, Jesus said, “The thief comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

Trump lumps in radical transgenders with Islamic terrorists

In the United States, the Trump administration is cracking down on transgender ideology and the radical left.

Transgenderism is identified as a major threat in the United States’ newly released Counterterrorism Strategy for 2026. Far left groups have been placed on a watch list.

The document stated, “In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national count terrorism activities will also prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.”

Marty Makary, who oversaw generic Abortion Kill Pill, out at FDA

Dr. Marty Makary is out as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, reports The Western Journal.

He announced his resignation Tuesday, May 12th, amid policy differences with President Donald Trump and prominent Republican senators, reports Politico. Kyle Diamantas, who previously worked as the top food official at the agency, will lead the FDA in an acting capacity.

Makary has received backlash for his handling of the Abortion Kill Pill and vaccines.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, had called for Makary to be ousted. She wrote, “This is a five-alarm crisis for the pro-life movement and for the GOP. The GOP cannot win without its base and simply will not get the enthusiasm that drives turnout without leadership from the top.”

Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri tweeted, “This is welcome news. Dr. Makary was uniquely destructive to the pro-life movement. He attempted to place pro-abortion lawyers in key positions. He slow-walked a vitally necessary review of the abortion drug mifepristone. He used his discretion to approve a new abortion drug when the data shows it sends 1 in 10 women to the emergency room. He froze out prolife leaders and repeatedly stonewalled Congress. His resignation is an opportunity for the FDA to reset.”

Southwest Airlines paid $1 million to fired pro-life stewardess

Life News reports that Southwest Airlines paid nearly one million dollars to a pro-life stewardess last week.

Charlene Carter had worked as a flight attendant for over 20 years. In 2017, she sent a message to the Transport Workers Union, protesting its support for abortion. She sued after the union and Southwest Airlines fired her for her pro-life speech. The recent settlement ends a nine-year legal battle.

The National Right to Work Foundation represented Carter in the lawsuit. Listen to comments from Mark Mix, the president of National Right to Work Foundation.

MIX: “What ended up as a long battle ended up well for Charlene Carter, and hopefully spreads the word to other employees that want to speak up on issues related to their beliefs and their ideas. The union can't thwart that. And that's what this case is all about.”

Prices continue to skyrocket

The prices of goods and services in the U.S. continued to rise last month.

The Labor Department reported inflation was up 3.8 percent in April compared to a year earlier. It’s the biggest annual increase since 2023.

Meanwhile, wages only grew 3.6 percent from April last year. This means inflation outpaced wage growth for the first time since 2023.
