President Trump’s justified trade war with China – and with other countries who have taken advantage of the US – will, eventually, be successful and will usher in a new Golden Age of Made in America.

However, victory will not come overnight — and there will be casualties and a cost associated with this effort.

For many Americans, a casualty and cost of this trade war will come in the form of rising costs and shortages of prescription drugs:

President Donald Trump’s planned tariffs on pharmaceuticals imported into the U.S. could have wide-ranging consequences for drugmakers and American patients, some experts told CNBC. 

The duties could disrupt the complex pharmaceutical supply chain, drive up the prices of drugs in the U.S. and exacerbate shortages of critical medicines, some health policy experts said. Drugmakers often rely on a global network of manufacturing sites for different steps of the production process. 

Industry analysts estimate a potential $45 billion spike in import costs to the pharma industry. And we’re already seeing it play out. Many of our partner pharmacies report rising costs, tighter supply, and longer lead times — especially for generics and essentials like antibiotics.

Riding out stock market instability is one thing, when it comes to access to prescription medications, however, that is an entirely different situation.

IS IT TIME TO STOCK UP ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS?

Stockpiling prescription drugs is nothing new, indeed Dr. Jim Thorp, one of the nation’s leading critics of the corrupting influence of big pharma, has been advocating stockpiling for several years.

“I’ve strongly recommended “stock piling” critical medications including antibiotics since the turn of the century. This has been an incredible investment as many friends, family and patients have benefited.  Now, in the spring of 2025, this recommendation is even more crucial.” – Dr. Jim Thorp

That’s why thousands of Americans are taking action today — stocking up on critical medical supplies before prices rise and products disappear from pharmacy shelves.

At The Wellness Company, they’re actively bolstering inventory to meet the needs of customers. But demand is spiking fast. If you want to protect your access to critical medications, now is the time to act.

Start with the best-seller:

The Wellness Company’s Contagion Emergency Kit, designed by Dr. McCullough and his colleagues, contains five critical life-saving prescription medications – including generic Tamiflu, IVERMECTIN, and HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE– that every American should have on hand – particularly anyone who wants to keep their families safe and healthy during the flu season:

The American Conservative can confirm that William Ruger, a longtime advocate of U.S. foreign policy restraint, has been appointed to a top intelligence role in the Trump administration. 

Axios first reported Ruger’s appointment as deputy director of national intelligence for mission integration, calling the role “one of the most important jobs in the intelligence community.” Ruger will help prepare intelligence briefs for President Donald Trump, among other duties.

Controversy erupted last month as Gabbard considered giving the same job to another restrainer, military expert Daniel Davis, with pro-Israel voices objecting to the move. Ruger’s appointment has stirred similar controversy behind the scenes, according to Axios.

One reason some figures in the foreign policy establishment may object to the appointment is that Ruger has criticized hawkish ideas. Last September, after Mark Dubowitz of The Foundation for Defense of Democracies promoted regime change in Iran, Ruger wrote on X, “These guys have learned nothing from [the] last 25 years.”

Ruger sits on the board of directors of The American Ideas Institute, which publishes TAC. Additionally, Ruger is a non-resident senior fellow at Defense Priorities, where this reporter is a contributing fellow.

Austin Metcalf was allegedly stabbed by Karmelo Anthony on April 2 during an athletic event in Frisco, Texas. (@EndWokeness / X screen shot)

17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, accused of fatally stabbing fellow student Austin Metcalf during a Frisco, Texas, high school track meet, is now residing in a $900,000 rented home within a gated community and has reportedly purchased a new vehicle following his release on a significantly reduced bond.

Originally held on a $1 million bond, Anthony’s bail was reduced to $250,000 by a Republican Collin County judge, Judge Angela Tucker, allowing his release under house arrest with an ankle monitor.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Anthony’s family revealed to use a portion of the $400,000 in online donations—originally raised for legal defense—to buy a new home and hire private security, citing “racist threats” they claim to have received following the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf.

The shocking revelation came during a court hearing in which Anthony’s bond was reduced from $1 million to $250,000 by Judge Angela Tucker of the 199th Judicial District Court, with only 10% required for his release.

It is now reported that Anthony is residing in a $900,000 home in the exclusive “Richwoods” gated community in Frisco, Texas, according to Daily Mail.

The family is reportedly renting the home for around $3,500 a month and had three vehicles parked in the driveway: a white Suburban, a black Acura, and a third sedan.

A neighbor told the outlet that the family had recently purchased a new car.

“He got a new car. If you look at the license plate, it’s got a paper tag and it says it expires June 4,” the neighbor said.

At the time of this writing, the donation for Austin Metcalf’s family stands at $371,296, raised primarily through a GoFundMe page set up by his father, Jeff Metcalf.

For the suspect, Karmelo Anthony, the donation total is reported as $446,740, collected via a GiveSendGo fundraiser. This indicates that Karmelo’s family received at least $75,000 more than Anthony’s.

Austin Metcalf tragically died in his twin brother’s arms after being stabbed in the chest at a school track meet earlier this month. According to the arrest report, Anthony was sitting under another school’s tent when Metcalf asked him to move.

An altercation followed, and Anthony reportedly unzipped his bag, threatened Austin, and then stabbed him directly in the heart with a black knife.

Witnesses say Anthony fled the scene and was later arrested. His only explanation? “He put his hands on me. I was protecting myself.”

But here’s what’s not being said loudly enough: Anthony brought a knife to a high school track meet.

Letitia James

Letitia James dodged questions about her alleged mortgage fraud on Wednesday morning after FHFA Director Bill Pulte criminally referred her to the DOJ.

On Tuesday evening, the Trump Administration criminally referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the Justice Department over accusations of mortgage fraud.

TGP has extensively and exclusively reported on Letitia James mortgage fraud:

Big Development: Is Letitia James Guilty of Mortgage Fraud? 
Mortgage Fraud Alert: Did Letitia James Marry Her Father?
The Letitia Files: Did Letitia James Illegally Hire a Nonprofit for Her 2013 Campaign?
Revealed: NY Attorney General Letitia James Declares Virginia Home Her ‘Principal Residence’
New for Letitia Files: Is Letitia James’ Rage Against Trump Really a “Daddy Issue?”

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) accused Letitia James of falsifying records, citing a 5-unit property in New York she claimed was only four units in order to get a more favorable loan.

TGP recently reported on this 5-unit property in Brooklyn that Letitia James purchased in 2001.

For more than 20 years, Letitia James repeatedly claimed her Brooklyn apartment building was a four-unit property on mortgage applications—despite official records proving it had five.

This is not a minor discrepancy. Lying to the bank about the unit count enabled Letitia James to secure more favorable loans, including a 2011 Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) loan that saved her tens of thousands of dollars annually.

Letitia James was able to secure a conforming loan through Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac since they are only available on properties up to 4 units.

Bill Pulte, the Director of the FHFA, also said Letitia James falsely claimed her Virginia property as a ‘primary residence’ even though she doesn’t live there.

Letitia James recently went on an unhinged rant against President Trump and said she wasn’t afraid of him.

Speaking (screaming) at the National Action Network (NAN) 2025 Convention during their State Attorneys General panel earlier this year, Letitia James told President Trump, “we’re ready for you!”

“I’m not afraid of no president! Donald Trump, we’re ready for you! We’re coming for you! We’re standing up for you! We’re fighting on! We’re not going down silent!” Letitia James shouted.

WATCH:

Boy does Letitia James sound nervous!

Screenshot of CCTV footage in Budapest that captured the Hammer Gang attack on civilians

A far-left extremist art student in Germany facing charges stemming from a series of violent, ideologically driven offenses has ignited national outrage after being awarded nearly €50,000 in public arts funding while awaiting trial for her alleged involvement in a series of violent left-wing attacks across Europe.

Hanna Schiller, a student at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg, is currently in pre-trial detention in Munich after being charged with attempted murder and participating in a string of politically motivated violent assaults as a part of the so-called “Hammer Gang”—a radical-left militant group with ties to Antifa networks.

Despite facing deeply serious pending charges, Schiller was recently named the winner of the 27th Federal Prize for Art Students, which includes €30,000 ($34,000) in prize money and an additional €18,000 ($20,400) scholarship for an upcoming art exhibition, the German publication Ticky’s Einblick reports.

Schiller’s arrest in May 2024 followed a violent episode in Budapest, where she and other gang members allegedly ambushed and beat several individuals they suspected of being right-wing activists with hammers and other weapons. Prosecutors say one victim was struck more than 15 times with a baton while being held down—an attack that could have resulted in death.

Police reported that on the day of the attack, a group of approximately 15 far-left extremists—primarily German, Italian, and Greek nationals—carried out coordinated assaults on eight civilians at four separate locations across Budapest.

Critics have questioned how someone accused of such brutality could be celebrated by the very institutions that publicly oppose extremism and politically-motivated violence. The prize, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and the German Students’ Union, has drawn sharp criticism for honoring Schiller’s politically-charged artwork, including pieces made from women’s hair, while sidestepping mention of her criminal proceedings.

The jury praised her work as a “precise” engagement with themes of “structural violence and power.” While Schiller’s nomination came after her arrest, the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg defended the decision by invoking the principle of presumption of innocence. “We treat her like any other student until the verdict is announced,” the academy said in a written statement.

Yet, this stance appears to clash with the school’s own mission statement, which promotes “openness, tolerance, and opposition to all forms of extremism and violence.”

Schiller had previously received multiple scholarships and was awarded the academy’s internal prize in early 2024, further fueling debate about the normalization of political violence within certain cultural circles.

Other members of the Hammer Gang have already faced justice. Lina Engel was sentenced to over five years in prison in 2023, while several associates received lesser penalties. A Hungarian court sentenced another gang member to three years in prison last year. Meanwhile, the militant group’s alleged leader, 31-year-old Johann Guntermann, was apprehended by police near the left-wing extremist stronghold of Leipzig, in eastern Germany, in late 2024 after years on the run.

Saxon investigators reportedly identified Guntermann in video footage of the Budapest assault, prompting an intensified manhunt to locate and apprehend him.

In the political sphere, the backlash has been swift. Alice Weidel, co-leader of the anti-globalist Alternative for Germany (AfD), slammed the award, claiming it may have been granted not despite Schiller’s “activism,” but because of it. “No taxpayer money for violent left-wing extremism!” she wrote on X.

Linksextremistin Hanna S., mutmaßlich Teil der „Hammerbande“, erhält mit 30.000 Euro dotierten, staatlich geförderten Kunstpreis, möglicherweise nicht trotz, sondern gerade wegen ihres „Aktivismus”. Kein Steuergeld für gewalttätigen Linksextremismus!https://t.co/cLzXyOnRD5

The controversy echoes broader European tensions over how to handle growing far-left militancy. In a parallel case, Italian Green MEP Ilaria Salis—known as “Hammer Girl”—continues to evade prosecution thanks to her parliamentary immunity, despite being charged with similar assaults in Hungary.

Prior to being elected as a Member of European Parliament in Italy, Salis was arrested for her alleged involvement in a series of violent Antifa assaults on multiple individuals in Budapest—incidents partially documented by surveillance footage.

The Midshipmen of The United States Naval Academy had a stellar 10-3 record for the 2024 season.  But no two victories were more important then those secured against The Air Force Academy and West Point.  Those victories secured the bragging rights to Commander-In-Chief Trophy and earned them a trip to the White House.

The Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy is awarded annually to the winner of the three-way series among the United States Military Academy (Army), the United States Naval Academy (Navy), and the United States Air Force Academy (Air Force).

It was first awarded in 1972 and is presented by the President of the United States to the team with the best record in the round-robin competition. If there’s a tie, the trophy is shared, but the previous winner retains possession.

The trophy symbolizes service academy supremacy and is highly prestigious because of the fierce rivalry among the military academies.

On Tuesday, the Navy Midshipmen joined President Trump at the White House for the presentation of the trophy.

President Trump was in good spirits as he joked with the team and invited several players to join him at the podium to say a few words.

“Number one, at ease.  Enjoy yourselves. I’m the boss here,” he said as the team chuckled.

The President called out some of Navy’s most exceptional players, including co-captain and fullback Daba Fofana and invited Fofana to say a few words.

Navy co-captain Daba Fofana

“I’m just going to say we couldn’t have done it with Coach Brian Newberry right here.  My co-captain here, Colin Ramos and everyone buying into the mission. I’m excited, praise the Lord.”

President Trump then invited standout Quarterback Blake Horvath to say a few words.

“It’s an honor to share this stage with President Trump,” Horvath said. “I speak for the team when I say that, so thank you for having us.”

“It’s all about the team…trophy is team, team. team. Great honor, so thank you.”

Trump asked Horvath if he will be next year to which Horvath, who will be a firstie (senior) affirmed he will lead the team again next season.

“Whoa…..I am going to be watching,” the President said as the team laughed.

The President then invited noseguard Landon Robinson to speak. Robinson faked a fourth-down punt and ran for a touchdown, securing the victory against Army.

Landon Robinson

“First off, I would like to thank the President for inviting us…super thankful. I wouldn’t be here without my teammates and for my coaches calling the play and making sure it was open to run it.  Super thankful and looking forward to the years to come.”

Navy Head Coach Brian Newberry also addressed the group and accepted the trophy on behalf of his team.

“We are humbled and grateful to be here. The highest honor and the most tangible goal in our program is to be standing here in the White House with our Commander-in-Chief.”

“In a little over a month, these 23 seniors will graduate and commission as officers in the United States Navy and Marine Corps under your command, Mr. President. And they will do so with tremendous character and the core values of duty, honor, courage, and commitment.”

Newberry added, “Mr. President, this is your team.  America’s team.”

He concluded, “Go Navy, beat everybody.”

Watch:

After the ceremony, President Trump invited the entire team back to the Oval Office for a special moment.

Ashley St. Clair told The Wall Street Journal that Elon Musk offered her $15 million and $100,000 per month until their son turned 21.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Ashley St. Clair was forced to discuss the paternity test and monetary support with Elon Musk’s ‘fixer’ Jared Birchall.

“Musk offered St. Clair $15 million and $100,000 a month in support in exchange for her silence about the child, whom they named Romulus. Similar agreements had been negotiated with other mothers of Musk’s children, Birchall told St. Clair,” The Wall Street Journal reported.

St. Clair turned down the offer because she said it makes her son feel “illegitimate”.

“She complied with the request to not name Musk on the birth certificate. Not long after the birth, Birchall pushed St. Clair to sign documents keeping the father of the baby and details regarding her relationship with Musk secret in return for financial support. The offer was a one-time fee of $15 million for a home and living expenses, plus an additional $100,000 a month until the baby turned 21,” The Wall Street Journal reported.

“But she didn’t sign. The agreement prevented her from speaking about Musk in relation to the child or disparaging him, but didn’t bar Musk from speaking negatively about her if he wanted. St. Clair would have to pay back the $15 million lump sum if she broke the agreement,” The Wall Street Journal reported.

On Valentine’s Day, conservative influence Ashley St. Clair, 26, shocked the internet and claimed Elon Musk fathered her youngest son.

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” Ashley St. Clair wrote on Valentine’s Day.

“I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.

“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting,” she concluded.

Last month, Ashley St. Clair, who lives in a luxury Manhattan apartment reportedly paid for by Musk, said she sold her $100,000 Model S Tesla because Elon Musk slashed her child support.

“I’m selling it because I need to make up for the 60 percent cut that Elon made to our son’s child support,” St. Clair said.

“Do you feel like he was sort of, like, vindictive against you in some way?” the reporter asked St. Clair.

“Yeah, that’s his modus operandi, when women speak out,” she said.

St. Clair said she hasn’t spoken to Elon Musk since February 13.

“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed,” Elon Musk said on X.

“Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year,” Musk added.

Ashley St. Clair responded to Elon Musk’s X post:

Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused.

And you weren’t sending *me* money, you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary… until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for “disobedience.” But you’re really only punishing your son.

It’s ironic that your last effort in court was to try to gag me while you use a social media channel you literally own to distribute derogatory messages about me and our child to the entire world. It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it.

America needs you to grow up, you petulant man-child.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. just held a press conference to respond to the CDC’s latest numbers on autism rates in the United States.

The findings were impossible to ignore, and Kennedy didn’t sugarcoat just how dire the situation had become.

He revealed that 1 in 31 American children are now diagnosed with autism.

For boys, the numbers are even worse—1 in 20.

And in California, where data tracking is considered the most thorough in the country, the rate may be as high as 1 in 12.5 boys. According to Kennedy, that figure likely reflects a national trend.

Just two years ago, the national rate was 1 in 36. Now, it’s jumped dramatically—and Kennedy says he’s determined to find out why.

“The ASD prevalence rate in 8-year-olds is now 1 in 31. Shocking. There is an extreme risk for boys. Overall, the risk for boys of getting an autism diagnosis in this country is now 1 in 20.

“And as high in California, which has the best data collection.

“So it probably also reflects the national trend—1 in 12.5 boys. This is part of an unrelenting upward trend. The prevalence two years ago was 1 in 36,” Kennedy lamented.

He didn’t hold back in calling out the media and powerful industries, accusing them of covering up environmental factors that are contributing to the crisis.

Kennedy blasted the “epidemic denialists,” pointing to a 1992 ADDM report as proof that autism rates have exploded nearly fivefold in just three decades. Back then, the rate was 1 in 150. Today, it’s 1 in 31.

“It’s clear that the rates are real,” Kennedy stressed.

“Year by year there is a steady, relentless increase. I want it because this epidemic denial has become a feature in the mainstream media and it’s based on an industry canard.

“Obviously, there are people who don’t want us to look at environmental exposures,” he said.

— The Vigilant Fox (@VigilantFox) April 16, 2025

He also took direct aim at the claim that today’s rising autism rates are simply the result of better awareness or improved diagnosis.

To prove his point, Kennedy cited a peer-reviewed 1987 study from North Dakota, where researchers attempted to identify every child in the state with a developmental disorder.

They didn’t cut corners. They analyzed medical records, confirmed diagnoses, and even conducted in-person evaluations across a population of 180,000 children. Then, they followed that same group for 12 years.

If you still believe autism rates are only rising because doctors are “getting better at diagnosing it,” Kennedy said, you’d have to believe that the original researchers somehow missed nearly all the cases—98.8 percent of them.

But that’s not what happened.

“They went back in 2000 and found that they had missed exactly one child,” he said.

“They weren’t missing all these cases. The epidemic is real.”

Then came one of the most infuriating parts of the press conference: Kennedy revealed how autism research funding has been misdirected for years.

He said the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has pumped 10 to 20 times more money into studying genetic causes of autism than into researching environmental ones.

That, Kennedy said, is a dead end.

“This is a preventable disease. We know it’s an environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics,” he argued.

That’s why Kennedy says he’s redirecting resources toward the kind of research that’s long been neglected—into environmental factors.

“And that’s where we’re going to find the answer,” he added.

The most emotional moment came at the end, when Kennedy spoke from the heart about what this epidemic is doing to children—and to families.

“These are children who should not be suffering like this,” he said.

“These are kids who, many of them, were fully functional and regressed because of some environmental exposure into autism when they’re two years old. These are kids who will never pay taxes, they’ll never hold a job, they’ll never play baseball, they’ll never write a poem, they’ll never go out on a date.

Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”

“We have to recognize we are doing this to our children and we need to put an end to it,” Kennedy declared.

When did Jesus say it was acceptable to starve the poor, slaughter women and children while turning a blind eye to the suffering of the weak? The answer, of course, is never. Yet for years, a vocal strain of American Christian Zionist leaders have supported policies that do precisely that—enabling the starvation and slaughter of Palestinians while underwriting broader wars that have decimated ancient Christian communities across the Middle East. How did we arrive at a place where those who claim to follow the Prince of Peace justify such unchristian horrors?

The Biblical call for compassion is clear: Leviticus 23:22 commands, “When you harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what the harvesters drop. Leave it for the poor and the foreigners living among you.” This is a divine directive to care for the vulnerable, not an optional gesture. James, the brother of Jesus, is yet more emphatic: “Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you” (James 1:27). What kind of religious leaders cheer the bombing of Gaza’s widows and orphans, left destitute by policies supported by American and Israeli leaders? Decades of war propaganda have numbed many Americans to the atrocities committed in their name. Yet a growing awareness is stirring both here and abroad.

American Christian Zionist leaders often frame their support for Israel as a divine mandate, dismissing Palestinian suffering as collateral damage in a prophetic plan. Pastor Robert Jeffress declares, “The Bible says this land belongs to the Jewish people — period… God has pronounced judgment after judgment in the Old Testament to those who would ‘divide the land,’ and hand it over to non-Jews.” Likewise, Pastor John Hagee insists, “You’re either for the Jewish people or you’re not.” But where in the Gospels do we find Jesus exalting land rights or ethnic loyalty over human lives? Why did Jesus tell his fellow Jews to be like the Good Samaritan if not to call all people out of their tribalism? The only time He spoke of snakes was to call the Pharisees a “brood of vipers” (Matthew 23:33), condemning their ethnonationalism that blinded them to His message of nonviolence and forgiveness of enemies. He urged, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice” (Matthew 9:13), a rebuke to those who prized vengeance and power over compassion. Did He not say, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” and instruct us to “turn the other cheek”? How do religious leaders who celebrate military might over mercy square with the Messiah who dined with sinners and healed the outcast?

The fruits of this ideology are death and destruction. For decades, some American Christian Zionist leaders have backed Israel’s destructive actions, often at the expense of the very people Jesus called us to protect. They support the decades-long blockade of Gaza, where malnutrition haunts the population, and the wider wars in Iraq and Syria, which have all but erased Christian communities dating back millennia. In Syria, America’s decade-long support for “moderate insurgents”—coupled with the theft of Syrian oil, much of it shipped to Israel—helped topple the government. Now, Al Qaeda affiliates hold sway in parts of that land. Who benefited? Not the Syrian Christians and other religious minorities who are being killed, displaced, and fleeing for their lives.

And then there’s the inconvenient truth about Hamas. For years, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu facilitated funding to Hamas through channels like Qatar, a policy aimed at keeping Palestinians divided and weakening the Palestinian Authority. The State of Israel, with American Christian Zionist leaders’ applause and U.S. support, has trained, equipped, and empowered Hamas to serve its own strategic ends. Decades of this cynical game have propped up a terrorist group that Israel and its allies now use as a pretext to justify slaughtering Gazan children by the thousands. How can Christians reconcile killing innocents for the actions of a monster they helped enable? Worse still, many believe Netanyahu’s government may have had foreknowledge of Hamas’s October 7 attack plan yet allowed it to proceed, amplifying the tragedy to justify further escalation of the abuse of Gazans.

God made a covenant with Abraham, promising his descendants a legacy (Genesis 12:2–3). But the Apostle Paul clarifies this promise in Galatians 3:16: the covenant finds its fulfillment in Jesus. Many well-meaning Christians, however, were misled into believing otherwise by the questionable biblical interpretations of Cyrus Scofield. In certain circles, his 1917 edition of the Scofield Reference Bible was very influential.

What would Jesus do if asked to condone the terrorist actions involved in Israel’s founding? The 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel by the Irgun, killing 91 people under the guise of a “liberation” struggle, or the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre, where Zionist militias slaughtered over 100 Palestinian villagers to terrorize others into flight—would He bless such bloodshed? And what of the Nakba, the catastrophic expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinians from their homes that same year, leaving them refugees in their own land? Israel’s first prime minister David Ben-Gurion himself acknowledged in 1918, “We have no reason to assume that the inhabitants of the country who remained after the destruction of the Second Temple were uprooted. On the contrary, the Jewish farmer, like his neighbors, clung to the soil and continued to live in the land, eventually adopting Christianity and later Islam.” If even Israel’s founding father recognized the deep roots of Palestine’s people, how can Christians justify their dispossession? Jesus, who wept over Jerusalem and called for mercy, would surely mourn the dispossessed, not celebrate their displacement.

With countless lives lost and trillions of dollars spent since, can anyone claim this is a policy God has blessed? America’s veterans from our Christian Zionist–supported Middle East wars face high suicide rates, their families shattered by the toll of endless conflict. Our witness to the region lies in ruins, as America plays Israel’s enforcer—destroying Israel’s enemies while partnering with Al Qaeda in Syria and enabling ISIS in Libya and Iraq. Would God bless us and Israel for intentionally putting radicals like Hamas in power over Gaza, sidelining moderate voices from other Palestinian groups? How does any of this reflect faithfulness to Christ? As we approach Easter 2025—the celebration of Christ’s sacrifice and triumph over death—shouldn’t we reflect on whether our actions honor the One who died for all, not just a favored few?

Jesus Himself opposed violent religious zeal for Israel’s sake. When the Zealots pressed for rebellion, He chose nonviolence. Even Peter, His disciple, was rebuked for cutting off Malchus’ ear in the Garden of Gethsemane. “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus told him, “for all who live by the sword will die by the sword” (Matthew 26:52). Where is that spirit being promoted by leading Christian Zionists?

The American political class enables this madness, funneling billions in aid to Israel each year—more than to any other nation—often bypassing Congress entirely. Much of the non-Israel  foreign aid is used to bribe neighboring countries into compliance or to destabilize regimes deemed insufficiently pro-Israel. You know them by their fruits, and these fruits are war and suffering.

What would Jesus do? He would likely overturn the tables of this unholy alliance, as He did the money-changers in the temple. He would call us back to the edges of the field, where the poor and the foreigner await the compassion we’ve withheld. He would remind us that true faith is measured not in bombs dropped or wars waged, but in the love we show to the least of these. So I ask: If caring for orphans and widows is the mark of pure religion, what does it say of Christian leaders who justify their death and destruction?

Recently uncovered court documents reveal that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a controversially deported El Salvadorian gangster, had a protective order for domestic violence filed against him by his wife, Jennifer Vasquez, in 2021.

Kilmar Garcia Abrego, Democrats argue, was wrongfully deported back to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act despite a previous order granting him protective status over his alleged fears of violence in El Salvador.

However, the Trump Administration cites two court rulings that found that Abrego Garcia is an MS-13 gang member–designating him as a foreign terrorist–and an El Salvadorian citizen who was in the United States illegally. “Under our law, he’s not even allowed to be in the United States and had to be returned because of the foreign terrorist designation,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller argues.

Ahead of a court hearing for her husband on Tuesday, whom she previously accused of domestic violence, Jennifer Vasquez pleaded to the American people for her illegal alien husband’s return to the U.S. so he can continue to reside here illegally.

WATCH:

Vasquez: Today is 34 days of after his disappearance, and I stand before you filled with spirit that refuses to bring down. I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn’t forgotten about you. Our childrens are asking, when would you come home? And I pray for the day I tell them the time and date that you’ll return.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Democrat lawmakers are traveling to El Salvador to demand that the President free a designated terrorist and El Salvadorian citizen from prison.

They claim the individual, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is a “Maryland dad” and that he’s “innocent” while refusing to mention his ties to a designated foreign terrorist organization, MS-13, or that he’s an El Salvadorian national illegally in the U.S.

However, it turns out that Abrego Garcia’s wife, per court documents, filed for an order of protection against him for domestic violence in 2021, showing that the individual is apparently not the upstanding Maryland Father of the Year Democrats make him out to be.

According to The Chesapeake Today, “Jennifer Vasquez filed for a protective order due to domestic violence from her husband on May 13, 2021, and a final order was issued on June 17, 2021, by Prince George’s County District Court Judge LaKeecia Allen. Judge Allen was elevated to the Circuit Court on Aug. 1, 2024, by Maryland Governor Wes Moore. Judge Allen previously served as a prosecutor in the Prince George’s State’s Attorney’s Office.”

Still, the GoFundMe page for Garcia Abrego’s family, which has raised over $170,000, reads in part:

 “Kilmar is an excellent father. He has always been there for our three children and all of their needs. Two of them are on the autism spectrum (ages five and nine), and our third has epilepsy (age 10). Kilmar has been the main provider of our household and the love of my life for over seven years. Since our family has been separated, I have been devastated and confused. I lost my life partner, my children lost their father, and all of our family, neighbors, co-workers, and friends have been devastated due to this unjust family separation.” – said Jennifer, Kilmar’s wife.

An X user shared on Wednesday that Jennifer Vasquez petitioned for a protective order against Garcia less than four years ago. As noted above, though, Vasquez described Garcia as “the love of my life for over seven years.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, after slamming Democrat lawmakers’ actions as “atrocious” in a press briefing on Tuesday, suggesting that “they’d see a bit higher approval ratings” if they cared more about American citizens than criminal illegal aliens, responded to the discovery. “Democrats are flying to El Salvador right now to demand the return of this violent illegal alien MS-13 gang member back into the United States,” she said on X.
