  • Trump removed 300,000 illegals from Social Security rolls; Supreme Court temporarily allows mail-order abortion drugs; Barbie director to oversee Netflix Narnia film
    2026/05/05
    It’s Tuesday, May 5th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Kenyan Somalis killed 7 Kenyan Christian farmers On April 25th, International Christian Concern reports that Muslim Somali herders killed seven Christian farmers in Kitui County, Kenya in a raid. The raiders left behind burned homes, scattered belongings, and families struggling to come to terms with the loss. Local church leaders said many of the affected families are now dealing with loss on multiple levels, including loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. Remember Jesus’s words in Revelation 2:10. He said, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” War with Iran has cost America $70 billion The cost of war in Iran continues to rise. The Trump administration announced that the war has cost $25 billion, but that does not include the cost to rebuild destroyed military bases in the Middle East. The Iran War Cost Tracker has the cost of the war pegged at more than $70 billion. That is more than $1 billion dollars a day. Trump removed 300,000 illegals from Social Security rolls The Trump administration is working to reform Social Security by removing illegal aliens off the rolls. Listen to President Trump’s latest comments on his protection of Social Security. TRUMP: “Together with the Republicans in Congress, we've removed nearly 300,000 illegal aliens from the Social Security roles. (applause and cheers) And we've removed more than 100,000 migrants from Medicare eligibility: 100,000 and the number is going up. “What we're really doing is saving Social Security because it was so rife with fraud.” Supreme Court rules against race-based Congressional districts In a blockbuster decision, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against apportioning congressional districts by race, effectively neutering a portion of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. Following the decision, a flurry of Republican states, including Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida began working towards redistricting in favor of Republicans. However, Democrats are planning their own redistricting efforts, as both parties remain deadlocked in midterm election jockeying. Supreme Court temporarily allows mail-order abortion drugs In other Supreme Court headlines, it issued an administrative stay on Monday of a lower court ruling, which would have put a stop to the mail order program for the Abortion Kill Pill. The administrative order will hold for a week, while the court gives the Food and Drug Administration opportunity to respond. U.S. public school enrollment is down Public school enrollment is down in the United States — a 900,000-person drop over the last decade. During the same period, Edunomics Lab reports that staffing has actually increased by about the same amount -- 700,000 people or about 12%, ironically. The government school monopoly spends $1 trillion per year on their program, averaging $17,000 per student. Per student costs, adjusted for inflation, have doubled since 1980. $17,000 cost-per-public schooler vs. $1,600 per homeschooler The Homeschool Legal Defense Association surveyed 4,000 homeschool families and found the per-child costs for homeschooling an elementary school student runs around $1,300, and $1,600 for a middle and high school student. That means a family with five children saves the state $85,000 per year in education costs, and then, spends $7,000 of their own money doing it. America’s property tax revolt There is somewhat of a property tax revolt going on across the country. Florida lawmakers are proposing an end to local government property tax. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has suggested something similar. And the states of Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wyoming have other initiatives in process to reform property tax in favor of the taxpayers. 1 Samuel 8 speaks of this tyranny: “[Samuel] said, ‘This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons. … He will take your daughters. … He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage. … And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.” Gas prices have doubled since February U.S. gas prices have almost doubled since late February. Now the average price sits at $4.46 per gallon, up from $2.84 a gallon just two months ago. Idaho requires teachers/doctors to tell parents if child has gender issues The state of Idaho passed a bill that requires teachers and doctors to tell parents if their child is experiencing gender dysphoria. The law, signed by Republican Governor Brad Little, seeks to combat ways in which a child may secretly appear to be the other sex ...

  • Federal court blocks mail-order abortion kill pills; Trump withdraws 5,000 troops from Germany; God’s locust miracle in Minnesota
    2026/05/04
    It’s Monday, May 4th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christians in Afghanistan have to remain invisible to survive Being known as a Christian in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan brings lethal danger. In this country of 44 million people, Muslims comprise more than 99.7% of the population, reports International Christian Concern. Not long after the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan in August 2021, they declared that no Christians were remaining in the country. Though the Taliban claimed no Christians remained, Christians still exist—surviving only by remaining invisible. The Taliban reportedly searched door to door and through smartphones, hunting for any signs of Christian conversion. This reality highlights the core argument: Afghan Christians must stay hidden to survive. The situation also became highly precarious for other religious minorities, including Sikhs, Hindus, and the country’s last Jewish resident. According to Open Doors, Afghanistan is the 11th most dangerous country for Christians worldwide. In John 15:19, Jesus said to His disciples, “If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” Trump withdraws 5,000 troops from Germany The United States will withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany in the next six to 12 months, the Pentagon said Friday, fulfilling President Donald Trump's threat as he clashes with the German leader over the U.S. war with Iran, reports the Associated Press. Trump had threatened to withdraw some troops from the NATO ally earlier this week after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the U.S. was being “humiliated” by the Iranian leadership and criticized Washington’s lack of strategy in the war. Germany hosts several U.S. military facilities, including the headquarters of its European and Africa commands, Ramstein Air Base and a medical center in Landstuhl, where casualties from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were treated. U.S. nuclear missiles are also stationed in the country. The number of troops leaving Germany would be 14% of the 36,000 American service members stationed there. News of the troop withdrawal drew swift pushback from Democrats in Congress as well as a hawkish Washington think tank. They said the move will benefit Russian President Vladimir Putin and weaken U.S. security interests. Bradley Bowman, a scholar at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said the U.S. military's presence in Germany and elsewhere in Europe “not only strengthens deterrence against additional Kremlin aggression but also facilitates the projection of American military power into the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Africa.” Federal appeals court blocks mail-order abortion pills Ready for some great pro-life news? On May 1st, a federal court issued a ruling that temporarily blocked the ability to send the Abortion Kill Pill by mail. Of American mothers who abort, 63% choose to use abortion drugs. If ultimately upheld, this decision could save tens of thousands of babies from abortions, reports LifeNews.com. A panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans temporarily blocked a Biden administration rule allowing the abortion drug, mifepristone, to be dispensed through the mail. Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, called the ruling “a huge victory for victims and survivors of Biden’s reckless mail-order abortion drug regime. We are so grateful for the tenacity of [Louisiana] Attorney General Liz Murrill, abortion drug coercion survivor Rosalie Markezich, and all our allies demanding action. “Women and children suffer and state sovereignty is violated every day the Food and Drug Administration allows abortion drugs to flood the mail – harms that are no mere accident, but predictable outcomes of the FDA’s unscientific removal of safeguards like in-person doctor visits.” Republican State candidate found dead An investigation is underway into the death of a Republican state Senate candidate in Oklahoma who was found dead in his pickup truck on April 30th in a wildlife refuge, reports The Western Journal. Barry Christian, a candidate for state Senate District 38, had disappeared on April 28th, according to KOCO-TV. The Beckham County Sheriff’s Office said a hunter reported to authorities that he had seen the wreck of a pickup truck that appeared to have crashed off a high ridge. 149th anniversary of God's locust miracle in Minnesota And finally, from 1873 to 1877, grasshoppers, also known as locusts, destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of crops in Minnesota, leaving eggs in the soil for the next season. On April 26, 1877, Minnesota Republican Governor John Pillsbury declared a statewide day of prayer and fasting to combat ...

  • GOP Rep. to pro-abort: “What’s your favorite form of abortion?”; Hegseth to Democrat: “Your hatred for President Trump blinds you!”; Trump predicted Maine Gov. Janet Mills’ political demise a year ago
    2026/05/01
    It’s Friday, May 1st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus United Nations urges Pakistan to ban forced conversions and marriages On April 22nd, a United Nations-appointed body urged Pakistan to intensify efforts to eradicate Islamic forced conversions and marriages, noting that young Christian girls consistently fall victim to Islamist coercion, reports MorningStarNews.org. To prevent forced conversions and marriages, Pakistan was urged to raise the minimum age of marriage to 18 across all territories, criminalize forced religious conversion, and enforce laws related to human trafficking and sexual violence. Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet run to evil. … They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Hegseth to Democrat: “Your hatred for President Trump blinds you.” War Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a blistering rebuke to Democratic Rep. John Garamendi of California, slamming the congressman for labeling the conflict in Iran a "quagmire" during a heated exchange, reports the New York Post. HEGSETH: "When I said reckless, feckless, and defeatist of congressional Democrats at the beginning that came after watching you say the same thing on CNN this morning: ‘a quagmire.’ “My generation served in a ‘quagmire’ in Iraq and Afghanistan. Years and years of nebulous missions and utopian nation-building that led us to nothing. “The way you stain the troops when you tell them two months in, Congressman, you should know better. Shame on you! Calling this a quagmire two months in. The effort, what they've undertaken, the success on the battlefield that creates strategic opportunities. The courage of a president to confront a nuclear Iran. And you call it a quagmire, handing propaganda to our enemies. “Shame on you for that statement and statements like that are reckless to our troops. Don't say, ‘I support the troops.’ on one hand, and then, a two-month mission is a ‘quagmire.’ Who are you cheering for here? Who you pulling for? “Our troops are doing incredible work. They've done incredible things for the entirety of this mission and achieved incredible battlefield successes. And you sit there, and go on TV for your click bait, about ‘quagmires.’ It undermines the mission. “Your hatred for President Trump blinds you to the truth of the success of this mission and the historic stakes that the President is addressing which the American people support.” GOP Congressman to pro-abort: “What’s your favorite form of abortion?” On April 21st, a judiciary hearing in the House of Representatives grew tense when Republican Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas pressed American University scholar Jessica Waters in graphic detail on which abortion procedure she would list as her favorite, reported FoxNews. Listen. GILL: “You're an advocate for abortion, for abortion policy. What's your favorite type of abortion?” WATERS: “I am an advocate for patients having access to the full realm of reproductive health care.” GILL: “But do you have a preferred method of abortion that you like?” WATERS: “I do not.” GILL: “Let me read through a couple different methods, and I want to get your take on how much you like these. The first type is called a suction abortion. This is when the cervix is dilated and a strong suction, 29 times the power of a household vacuum cleaner, tears the baby's body apart and sucks it through the hose into a container. Do you prefer that method?” WATERS: “I stand by my former testimony.” GILL: “That sounds kind of gross, doesn't it? It sounds pretty gruesome. Do you agree? It does to me.” WATERS: “I stand by, um, how I answered your question fully and accurately.” GILL: “Okay. What about this one? This one is called dilation and curettage. After dilation of the cervix, a sharp, looped knife is inserted into the uterus. The baby's body is cut into pieces and extracted, often by suction. Do you prefer that method?” WATERS: “What I believe we are here to talk about today is the [Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances] Act. We are not here to talk about the legality of …” GILL: “You're a pro-abortion advocate. I'm asking if you prefer the dilation and curettage method.” WATERS: “I am access to reproductive health care advocate.” GILL: “You don't want to talk about abortion itself. Why is that?” WATERS: “I would prefer to talk about the reason that the committee called the hearing.” GILL: “Is it because it's uncomfortable to talk about? It should be uncomfortable.” WATERS: “I would prefer, if you would let me finish my statement, to talk about Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which is what I was asked to talk about.” GILL: “We’re talking about what that access gets. How about this one? It's called dilation and evacuation. Forceps are inserted into ...

  • King Charles III emphasized Christian faith before Congress; Supreme Court ruled in favor of Christian pregnancy centers; Algerian authorities shut down virtually all Protestant churches
    2026/04/30
    It’s Thursday, April 30th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Algerian authorities have shut down virtually all Protestant churches Muslim authorities in Algeria, Africa have shut down nearly all Protestant churches in the country since January 2025. The finding comes from a new report by the European Centre for Law and Justice. Algeria’s Christian community has been steadily growing since the 1990s. Most of these believers are evangelical Protestants. However, the North African country imposed restrictions on non-Muslim worship in 2006. And most Protestant churches lost their legal status in 2012. These Christians now have little to no freedom of expression in the Muslim-majority nation. The report stated, “Any expression of Christian faith may be regarded as . . . an offence against the precepts of Islam, and may result in prosecution.” In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Kenyan court rejects abortion as a “right” A court of appeal in Kenya ruled against abortion last Friday. The court struck down a 2022 high court ruling that declared abortion was a constitutional right. However, the constitution of the East African nation states that every person has the right to life and that life begins at conception. Last week’s ruling affirmed that abortion is not a fundamental right. Calum Miller, a pro-life doctor and ethicist, wrote on X, “This is a HUGE win in one of Africa's biggest legal cases ever.” United Arab Emirates wants exporting oil independence The United Arab Emirates, which borders Oman to the east and northeast, and Saudi Arabia to the southwest, is withdrawing from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC. The major oil producer made the announcement Tuesday and plans to withdraw on May 1. OPEC has limited the United Arab Emirates’ oil production to about three million barrels per day. The Emirates wants to reach five million barrels a day by next year as global demand increases. OPEC is led by Saudi Arabia. The group used to control over half of the world’s oil production. Now, it controls less than a third of the production. The United States has become one of its biggest rivals in recent years. King Charles III emphasizes Christian faith before Congress Britain’s King Charles III addressed the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday. It’s the first time a British monarch addressed Congress since Queen Elizabeth II did so in 1991. King Charles emphasized international cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom as well as the shared faith of the two nations. Listen. CHARLES: “Mr. Speaker, for many here, and for myself, the Christian faith is a firm anchor and daily inspiration that guides us, not only personally, (applause) guides us not only personally, but together as members of our community.” “So, to the United States of America, on your 250th birthday, let our two countries re-dedicate ourselves to each other, in the selfless service of our peoples, and of all the peoples of the world. God bless the United States and God bless the United Kingdom.” (applause and cheers) Psalm 33:12 reminds us, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” Supreme Court ruled in favor of Christian pregnancy centers The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of a group of Christian pregnancy centers yesterday. The ruling allows First Choice Women’s Resource Centers to challenge the state of New Jersey in federal court. State officials hit the pro-life group with an unconstitutional, coercive subpoena. Attorney Erin Hawley with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “In this resounding victory, the Supreme Court held to its long-standing precedent of recognizing that the Constitution protects First Choice, and its donors, from demands by a hostile state official to disclose donor identities and contact information.” Protestantism’s net gain in Latin America And finally, Pew Research released a report on how religious switching has affected Protestants and Catholics. Religious switching refers to when an adult identifies with a religion that is different from the one they were raised in. Catholicism has lost more people than it gained from religious switching in nearly all surveyed countries. People who leave Catholicism tend to become Protestant or religiously disaffiliated. Meanwhile, Protestantism has seen a net gain in about as many countries as it has seen a net loss. In particular, Protestantism has had a net gain in Latin America, which is comprised of 20 countries, primarily Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.

  • No pension for Congressmen convicted of sex crimes; Former FBI Director James Comey indicted; Egyptian Christian YouTuber faces 5 years hard labor
    2026/04/29
    It’s Wednesday, April 29th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Timothy Reed Egyptian Christian YouTuber faces 5 years hard labor A Christian YouTuber in Egypt is facing five years of imprisonment and hard labor simply for sharing his faith online. Augustinos Samaan regularly posts Christian videos to his channel which has over 100,000 subscribers. Officials charged him under the country’s blasphemy provision. The law criminalizes speech that is deemed offensive to Islam. Samaan appealed his sentence last week with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom International. Since August last year, authorities in Egypt have arrested dozens of people for online religious content. In Matthew 10:32, Jesus said, “Whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in Heaven.” Global military spending up Global military spending reached a record $2.9 trillion dollars last year. That’s according to a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Military spending rose 14 percent in Europe and eight percent in Asia and Oceania. Meanwhile, the United States spent 7.5 percent less on military expenditures. The U.S. remains one of the top three military spenders along with China and Russia. Experts note that many U.S. allies are spending more on their militaries following pressure from the Trump administration. Former FBI Director James Comey indicted over photo that threatened Trump On April 28th, the Justice Department secured an indictment charging former FBI Director James Comey with threatening the life of President Donald Trump by posting a photo of sea shells on Instagram that featured the numbers “86-47”, reports NBC News. The two-count indictment alleges that a reasonable person would interpret the image of the shells, arranged to spell out “86 47,” as “a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States." "Eighty-six" is a term used to mean "cancel" or "get rid of." And, of course, “47” refers to the 47th president of the United States. While Comey deleted the post, saying it never occurred to him that it would be interpreted as being violent. In a subsequent Instagram post last May, Comey said that he assumed the shells he saw on a beach walk were "a political message" and comically claimed that he "didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence," adding that he opposed violence "of any kind." Todd Blanche, the acting U.S. Attorney General, spoke at a press conference yesterday. BLANCHE: “The defendant, James Comey, knowingly and willfully transmitting in interstate commerce, a communication that contained a threat to kill the president of the United States. Both of these counts carry a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years.” War Department will no longer require flu shot War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the military will no longer require the flu shot. Listen to Hegseth’s comment on the change of policy. HEGSETH: “We're seizing this moment to discard any absurd, overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities. In this case, this includes the universal flu vaccine and the mandate behind it. The notion that a flu vaccine must be mandatory for every service member, everywhere, in every circumstance, at all times, is just overly broad and not rational. “Our new policy is simple. If you, an American warrior, entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it. You should. But we will not force you, because your body, your faith, and your convictions are not negotiable.” Proposed bill: No pension for Congressmen convicted of sex crimes Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri introduced a bill that would strip the federal pensions of Congress members who are convicted of a sex crime. Hawley’s bill, the “No Pensions for Congressional Predators Act,” comes on the heels of two high profile Congressional resignations over sexual allegations including Democrat Eric Swalwell and Republican Tony Gonzales of Texas. Speaking on FOX News, Hawley referred to Swalwell as a driving reason behind his legislation. HAWLEY: “This is why Congress needs to pass legislation. I'm introducing it today that would deny pensions to every member of Congress who is convicted of a sex offense. Right now, you could be convicted and still get your pension. The only thing the government ought to be paying for for people like Eric Swalwell is a jail cell.” Two Louisiana bills threaten pro-life work A pair of Louisiana bills are threatening pro-life work in the state. One bill, the Pregnancy Help Center Healthcare Licensing Act, seeks to require pregnancy centers to become licensed, a bill that may force these centers to have ...

  • Third assassination attempt on President Trump; British suicide bill failed to pass; Kenyan breaks 2-hour marathon record
    2026/04/28
    It’s Tuesday, April 28th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed India: 12th worst persecutor of Christians worldwide India is the twelfth worst persecutor of Christians in the world on the Open Doors World Watch List. It’s largely due to the shift brought about by the joint efforts of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh organization and the BJP political party in that country. But now, the RSS General Secretary told the Hudson Institute last week, that this is a misconception. However, the Religious Liberty Commission of the Evangelical Fellowship of India reports 747 incidents of vandalisms, beatings, false arrests, church burnings, and at least one murder in 2025. This follows a rash of anti-conversion laws brought on by the ruling political parties. In November 2025, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom issued a report recommending that India be placed on the list of Countries of Particular Concern. The report noted that since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party came into power 12 years ago. … India has “enforced policies that closely align with Hindutva ideology, [a political ideology establishing Hindu dominance which leads to] discriminating and disenfranchising members of India’s religious minority communities.” British suicide bill failed to pass Good news! A controversial suicide bill has failed to pass the United Kingdom Parliament. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill did not receive the support necessary to pass the House of Lords, even though it had passed the House of Commons last year. The proposed law would have granted a supposed “right” for those expected to die within six months to kill themselves. Proverbs 8:36 speaks of the wisdom of God in these words: “But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death.” Russia killed seven in two Ukrainian cities Still no end in sight for Russia’s four-year war on Ukraine. Russia continued to barrage the Ukrainian cities of Dnipro and Odessa over the weekend. The BBC reports seven people were killed. Third assassination attempt on President Trump A would-be assassin, Cole Tomas Allen, got very close to the President of the United States Saturday night. Just the day before President Trump was scheduled to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner, Allen, a teacher and mechanical engineer, checked into the hotel armed with guns. At 8:30pm ET, he approached the stairway leading up to the ballroom where the president was sitting, and fired shots at security, when he was taken down by the Secret Service, reports NBC News. Authorities said an officer wearing a bullet-resistant vest was shot in the chest and is expected to recover. Allen said, “I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.” In 2024, according to the Federal Election Commission filings, Allen donated $25 to ActBlue with the memo “Earmarked for Harris for President,” noted JustTheNews.com. The two other would-be assassins of President Trump include 20-year-old Thomas Crooks on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania, who was killed by the Secret Service at a campaign rally and 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh on September 15, 2024 at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Routh was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Trump would-be assassin’s motive Jeannine Pirro, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, addressed Cole Tomas Allen’s motive. PIRRO: “Make no mistake. This was an attempted assassination of the President of the United States, with the defendant making clear what his intent was. And that intent was to bring down as many of the high-ranking cabinet officials as he could.” According to the New York Post, Allen was charged on Monday with trying to assassinate President Donald Trump — as officials revealed the Secret Service fired at him five times before taking him down. Karoline Leavitt: Trump’s calm in chaos was “remarkable to witness” On April 27th, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared her unique perspective on the latest assassination attempt. LEAVITT: “I was seated next to President Trump and the First Lady when the shots were fired before Secret Service swiftly moved us to safety backstage. “The President's calm in the face of chaos while yet another individual was trying to take his life was really remarkable to witness. And it's something I will never forget. President Trump is fearless because he loves this country. And he is willing to put his own life on the line to deliver on the promises that he made to the American public who elected him here into the highest office in the land. … “We should not live in a country where such constant fear of political violence ...

  • Preacher found dead in Russian prison; Trump’s fiscal folly; Which U.S. president had 15 children?
    2026/04/27
    It’s Monday, April 27th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Preacher found dead in Russian prison A blogger and preacher, known to the internet as Vegan Christ-Lover of God, died this month while in Russian custody. Khristolyub Bozhiy ran a blog and YouTube channel where he spoke about religion, veganism, and his advocacy of peace related to Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine, reports International Christian Concern. The 43-year-old blogger described himself as a Christian activist, pacifist, and preacher who spoke against Islam Russian officials began their investigations in November 2023. In February 2025, a regional court sentenced Bozhiy to three years in a colony-settlement for offending Muslims, In early April, Bozhiy was moved to a pre-trial detention center and was immediately placed in an isolated cell. Earlier this month, he reported, “I was given five days in solitary as soon as I arrived. Then another 15, for nothing at all.” On April 17th, Bozhiy’s father learned that his son had died, but was not told the cause of his death until he was summoned to collect his son’s body on April 20th. That day, when he arrived at the investigator’s office, he was told that his son had been found hanging in an isolated cell. Bozhiy’s relatives do not believe his death was a suicide. In his final protest, Bozhiy held a sign that read, “Jesus commanded to love enemies, not to kill, for God is love. Murderers do not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu treated for prostate cancer Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has revealed that he recently underwent treatment for prostate cancer, and kept it quiet for fear that it would be used by Iran for propaganda, reports One America News. He had three core messages to share with the public: “Thank God, I am healthy.”“I am in excellent physical condition.”“I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated. Thank God, it’s behind me.” 3 John 2:2 says, “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” 9 in 10 British Evangelicals prepared to share faith with atheists Only 2% of evangelical British Christians have faced ‘sanctions’ for talking about their Christian faith at work, while 4% feel they have missed out on the chance of a promotion or other better job opportunities because of their Christian faith, reports Evangelical Focus. A survey commissioned by the Evangelical Alliance United Kingdom shows that most Evangelicals have a positive experience in their workplace. Although one in ten say they have received criticism in the United Kingdom for talking about their Christian faith and just over two in ten are “hesitant to talk about my Christian faith”, 40% of believers say that their Christian faith has “positively helped me in my workplace.” Almost 9 in 10 Evangelicals feel “equipped” to share their faith with atheists (86%) compared to 14% who do not. The response is virtually the same when asked about conversations with agnostics. And two-thirds of Evangelical respondents feel prepared to discuss their faith with Muslims (67%) and 79% with Jews. 1 Peter 3:15 says, “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” Trump’s fiscal folly On April 3rd, President Trump released his proposed Fiscal 2027 Budget. Strikingly, Trump proposed to increase defense spending by over 40% and cut non-defense discretionary spending by about 10%, reports Fortune Magazine. Yet, even after slashing everything from environmental protection and scientific research to housing and small-business support, government spending will surge, the deficit will balloon, and the ratio of debt held by the public to the Gross Domestic Product will climb to peacetime highs and remain above 100%. Overall, the Trump administration’s proposed budget is an extension of what has become, particularly during the last three administrations, fiscal folly. Steve Hanke, a professor of applied economics at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, wrote, “A significant chunk of today’s government expenditures are financed by putting future generations in bondage and saddling them with the costs. This is irresponsible, inequitable, and immoral. Fiscal deficits are nothing more than deferred taxes that will be paid by those who aren’t even voting today, as well as many who are yet to be born.” Public school allows profane anti-ICE protest, suspends pro-ICE student On February 6, hundreds of students at Torrey Pines High School in San Diego, California peacefully staged a mid-school-day walkout to protest ...

  • Trump retrieves 10-year-old child from Cuba in transgender drama; Iran says first Strait of Hormuz toll revenues banked; The birth of the “In God We Trust” motto
    2026/04/24
    It’s Friday, April 24th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Ugandan evangelist stabbed to death by Muslims Suspected Muslim extremists, posing as taxi drivers on April 9th, killed a Christian evangelist in central Uganda, Africa shortly after he preached at a Gospel event, reports Morning Star News. They beat and stabbed Alfred Kitenga at about 9:30 p.m. along the Northern Bypass in the Wakiso District, after he and his wife, Anna Grace, were returning home from preaching in Kampala, the Ugandan capital. One local church leader said, “This is a painful loss for the body of Christ.” In John 15:19, Jesus said, "If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." Iran says first Strait of Hormuz toll revenues banked Hamidreza Hajibabaei, the deputy speaker of Iran's parliament, claimed that Iran, not the United States, was now making demands after the first revenues for newly implemented tolls on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz were deposited into Iran’s central bank, reports MSN. During a public gathering in the western city of Kuhdasht, ABC News reported that he said, "We have control over this Strait. If the United States continues on its current course, no vessels will pass through the Strait of Hormuz. We are not engaged in negotiations -- rather, we are making demands." The Strait of Hormuz, which serves as a vital waterway for trade along the Persian Gulf, is responsible for an estimated 20% of the world's oil supply traveling through. The blockade has led to soaring gas prices in the United States as the price of oil surpassed $100 per barrel multiple times. Trump orders U.S. Navy to shoot and kill any boat placing mines On Thursday, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to “shoot and kill” any boat caught putting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as his administration ramps up mine-clearing efforts in the critical waterway, reports TheHill.com. He added, “Additionally, our mine ‘sweepers’ are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled-up level!” Trump retrieves 10-year-old child from Cuba in transgender drama The Trump administration took the unusual step this week of sending a government plane to Cuba to return a 10-year-old boy from Utah who is at the center of a complicated and contentious custody fight involving the child's gender identity, reports NBC News. The boy’s 42-year-old father, Mr. Ethington, who is pretending to be a woman himself, is accused of taking his son to Cuba without the permission from the biological mother, with whom he has shared custody. Federal and state authorities sought the return of the boy after a family member expressed concern that Mr. Ethington went to Havana, Cuba to get gender transition surgery for the boy. Mr. Ethington was arrested along with his 32-year-old partner, Blue, and charged in the U.S. with international parental kidnapping. The couple traveled with the boy to Canada, ostensibly for a camping trip in late March with Blue's 3-year-old child. However, the two adults deviously turned off their phones, after telling the older child's mother they'd arrived in Canada. Then, they flew from Vancouver to Mexico and then to Cuba on April 1. Navy secretary fired after feud over Trump’s ‘Golden Fleet’ with Pentagon leaders Secretary of the Navy John Phelan was fired on April 22nd after months of feuding with his Pentagon bosses, particularly over his handling of President Trump’s “Golden Fleet” shipbuilding initiative, reports the New York Post. Tensions among Phelan, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Deputy War Secretary Stephen Feinberg had been simmering for months. According to one GOP source, Phelan’s leadership style was “incongruent” with Hegseth and Feinberg. The source said, “The administration really wanted to accelerate the shipbuilding program because of the president’s agenda … and the secretary seemed incapable of accomplishing those goals, and he wasn’t well-liked. When you combine incompetence with arrogance, it usually doesn’t end well.” Deputy War Secretary Feinberg had been gradually diverting responsibility for the major project away from Phelan, the New York Times reported. Hung Cao, the Naval undersecretary, is now set to replace him. Virginia voters gave 10 of 11 Congressional seats to Democrats On Tuesday, the Virginia Democrat officials successfully convinced voters to narrowly approve a constitutionally questionable redistricting push to give 10 out of the 11 U.S. congressional seats to the Democrats, a change that one judge ruled to be unconstitutional, reports ABC News. The Democrats had previously held 6 Congressional seats in Virginia. Florida’s possible ...
