Month: April 2026

One should not be surprised that CNN’s brightest and perhaps only star went viral following last night’s miraculous rescue of the 2nd F-15 pilot and subsequent Trump Truth Social posts.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the second pilot/WSO from the downed F-15 fighter jet on Friday was saved in an on-ground US rescue mission Saturday night, which involved an epic and grueling battle with Iranian forces.

The pilot was successfully rescued and exfiltrated following an intense firefight. He was injured after ejecting himself from the F-15 but is now safe.

Hours after celebrating the pilot’s rescue and giving more details, Trump took to Truth Social to tease a massive operation that is coming this Tuesday unless Iran finally opens the Strait of Hormuz:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!

Open the Fu**in’ Strait, you crazy b*stards, or you’ll be living in H*ll – WATCH! Praise be to Allah.

On CNN, former Obama State Department advisor Nayyera Haq scoffed at Trump’s post and proceeded to favorably compare Iran’s meme war and Internet propaganda campaign to the U.S. military campaign.

Jennings responded by quickly dropping the hammer with this epic one-liner question: “You think the Iranians would rather have their entire navy back or their memes?”

This left Haq stammering before Jennings noted how many military targets the U.S has destroyed.

HAQ: Meme war and Internet propaganda, which is something that the Iranians have been known for.

For all the talk on our side of all the people killed in the regime, they have been pushing out images of the American generals and army people…So the way this looks out in the public is not a United States that is locked and loaded and looking in one direction.

JENNINGS: You think the Iranians would rather have their entire navy back or their memes?

HAQ: Oh, uh, I think the…

JENNINGS: We have destroyed 13,000 military targets.

The Islamization of France is a fact, with 2,5 million Muslims in Paris and the metropolitan area alone.

Back on Thursday, the French government announced the ban of a major gathering of Muslims planned for the country’s capital.​

The Parisian police has banned an annual French Muslim event over ‘major terrorist risk’ from far-right groups.

— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) April 3, 2026

The head of police said it ‌represented ‘a security risk’, but the decision was later overturned by a French court.

Reuters reported:

“’At the request of the Interior ​Minister Laurent Nunez, I have issued an ​order prohibiting the 40th edition of the ⁠Annual Meeting of Muslims of France, from April ​3 to April 6 at the Paris–Le Bourget ​Exhibition Centre’, the Paris police chief Patrice Faure said in a post on X.

‘This decision is set within ​a national and international context marked by ​heightened tensions and an increased level of terrorist alert, risks ‌of ⁠public disorder, and the large police presence on the streets in the coming days’, he said.”

The attempt at a ban came after ⁠a foiled bomb attack on Bank of America building in Paris.

But the gathering is happening as planned, after a French court overturned the government’s bid to ban it.

 BBC reported:

“The organizers – the Muslims of France (MF) association – sought an emergency injunction to let the event go ahead, arguing that a ban would be a breach of basic liberties.

The administrative court agreed and overturned the government decree, just two hours before the planned 14:00 (13:00 BST) opening.

The court said in its ruling that elements provided by police ‘did not establish the risk of counter-demonstrations, or that the gathering would be targeted by far-right groups’.

[…] Part cultural and religious conference, part trade fair, the gathering used to be an annual event, but has not been held since 2019. Before that it regularly drew tens of thousands of people from across Europe.”

After weeks of the Iranian mullahs choking off the global economy by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump has officially laid down the law.

In a series of Truth Social posts this Easter Sunday, the Commander-in-Chief set a definitive “drop-dead” deadline for the Islamic Republic to cease its hostilities or face a military response.

Trump wrote:

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

In a follow-up post, he hammered the deadline home: “Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!”

As The Gateway Pundit has reported for weeks, Trump first issued a blistering 48-hour ultimatum back on March 21, vowing to obliterate Iran’s power plants, starting with the biggest ones, if the Strait wasn’t opened “FULLY, WITHOUT THREAT.”

When the mullahs begged for more time, Trump graciously extended the deadline by 10 days to Monday, April 6 at 8 P.M. ET. Iran responded by playing games, selectively letting a few tankers through while still choking global oil supplies and driving prices through the roof.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to deliver a final, bone-chilling warning to the radical mullahs in Tehran: Open the Strait of Hormuz now, or face total annihilation.

“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!” Trump wrote.

The regime has already felt the heat. Trump has posted videos of Iran’s biggest bridges being reduced to rubble. He’s made clear the U.S. is bringing them “back to the Stone Ages” if necessary.

And just last night, American forces pulled off a miraculous Easter rescue of the second downed F-15 pilot deep inside Iran after an intense firefight.

Will Iran finally open the Strait before Tuesday night, or will “Power Plant Day” arrive?

On Sunday, Trump not only confirmed that he would blow everything up, but would perhaps take over the oil as well.

But the president also appeared optimistic about an agreement, saying it could happen as soon as tomorrow. Moreover, he said the people negotiating for Iran have been given amnesty to continue these talks.

NEW: Trump Sends Bone-Chilling Warning to Iran Following Rescue of 2nd F-15 Pilot: “Open the Fu**in’ Strait, You Crazy B*stards or You’ll be Living in H*ll … Praise Be to Allah”

Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Midtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was burglarized multiple times in the days leading up to Easter Sunday, resulting in an estimated $180,000 in damage and forcing the congregation to switch to virtual services.

The initial break-in at the historic church on North 5th Street was discovered by church members during a scheduled choir rehearsal earlier in the week.

The churchgoers noticed the lights were not working, the doors were damaged, the drawers were open, and the trash was scattered throughout the building, according to a report from Penn Live.

The thieves took valuable copper piping and wiring, ripping out nearly all of it from the basement, along with parts of the air conditioning and HVAC units.

The theft left the church without running water, heat, or air conditioning.

A second break-in occurred on Thursday while church leaders and members were inside assessing the damage.

Surveillance video showed two suspects in the act.

The men fled the scene but abandoned a wagon loaded with more stolen copper pipes and wires.

Pastor Ouemonde Brangman said of the incident, “When we came for choir rehearsal, the first thing everybody knows was the lights were not working, and this door was out in distress. So, of course, we knew something was not right.”

The pastor added that the copper was taken for scrap value and that the intruders “really left the place in a mess.”

He expressed a message of forgiveness in light of the Easter season but stressed accountability, saying, “I want them to know that we pray for them, because at the end of the day, whatever causes people to do this, it’s sad. And so we do understand this is resurrection season. So we do know it’s a time of forgiveness. And so we do forgive those kinds of things, but it’s got to stop. We do not want this to continue in our community.”

Senior Trustee Ray Burnett echoed the frustration and explained to WGAL, “We don’t have any water at this point. Right now, all the copper has been removed from the basement. And the heating unit doesn’t work because those pipes were taken.”

Burnett emphasized the church’s stance, saying, “Just trust God to get us through this. And we have to forgive them. But they need to be caught.”

Good Friday services were already forced to go online, and an in-person Easter Sunday service is also impossible.

Church leaders said services would be held virtually via Zoom or other online platforms.

Harrisburg Police responded to the scene, with officers and a K-9 unit canvassing the area and interviewing neighbors.

No arrests have been publicly reported as of Saturday evening, and police have not released updates on suspects.

The church has launched a GoFundMe campaign titled “Help Restore Bethel A.M.E. Church.”

Organized by longtime member Janet Saxbie, the fundraiser aims to raise $16,000 to cover repairs, replace stolen materials, and restore the building for safe gatherings.

President Trump announced on Sunday that he will hold a news conference in the Oval Office “with the military” on Monday. 

“We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran,” the President said, noting that Iranian forces were “looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close.”

“This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to ‘man and equipment.’ It just doesn’t happen! The second raid came after the first one, where we rescued the pilot in broad daylight, also unusual, spending seven hours over Iran,” he said.

The news conference will be held at 1 pm ET.

We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran. The Iranian Military was looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close. He is a highly respected Colonel. This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to “man and equipment.” It just doesn’t happen! The second raid came after the first one, where we rescued the pilot in broad daylight, also unusual, spending seven hours over Iran. An AMAZING show of bravery and talent by all! I will be having a News Conference, with the Military, at the Oval Office, on Monday, at 1:00 P.M. God Bless our great MILITARY WARRIORS! President DONALD J. TRUMP

As The Gateway Pundit reported, after a nearly 48-hour search and rescue effort, the pilot of a downed F-15E Strike Eagle was rescued from inside Iran.

One crew member was initially rescued on Friday after the crash, US officials say.

“WE GOT HIM!” President Trump announced on Saturday night, describing the mission as “one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History.”

“This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow Warfighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue,” Trump said.

“WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies.”

President Trump woke up this morning in fighting mode following last night’s miraculous rescue of the 2nd U.S. F-15 pilot in Iran.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the second pilot/WSO from the downed F-15 fighter jet on Friday was saved in an on-ground US rescue mission Saturday night, which involved an epic and grueling battle with Iranian forces.

The pilot was successfully rescued and exfiltrated following an intense firefight. He was injured after ejecting himself from the F-15 but is now safe.

What an incredible miracle on the eve of Easter, thanks to our tireless heroes in uniform!

“It was a very complex operation to retrieve the downed service member,” a well-placed source told Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin.

Hours after celebrating the pilot’s rescue and giving more details, Trump took to Truth Social to tease a massive operation that is coming this Tuesday unless Iran finally opens the Strait of Hormuz:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!

Open the Fu**in’ Strait, you crazy b*stards, or you’ll be living in H*ll – WATCH! Praise be to Allah.

President DONALD J. TRUMP

As TGP readers know, Iran has blocked oil shipments and the flow of shipping in the waterway, driving oil prices sky-high across the world.

Trump has asked NATO and Asia for help securing the Strait, but they refused.

The countries quickly rebuffed his demands and instead called on the United States to end the war.

The President previously appeared to signal an approaching end to the war regardless of whether Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz.

“The United States imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait, and won’t be taking any in the future. We don’t need it. We haven’t needed it, and we don’t need it,” Trump said on Wednesday.

Right now the same people who got rich selling opioid pills are counting on you not knowing what’s in this article. They built a system designed to keep you coming back, not get better. And it’s worked – on almost everyone.

Acute pain – back strain, neck spasms, sprains – isn’t one problem. It’s four. Inflammation. Muscle spasm. Gut damage from the drugs you take for it. And fatigue from the muscle relaxants trying to fix it. Every single-ingredient pill on the market addresses one of those. The other three keep the pain running.

That’s not incompetence. That’s a business model.

RelieveRx is what happens when physicians who publicly stood against the medical establishment when it cost them something build a pain formula from scratch. Four compounds. Every problem addressed. No opioids. No dependency. No fog.

Here’s exactly what’s in it and why it works:

– Naproxen at 300mg – kills inflammation at the source. Up to 12 hours. That’s the fire out, not muffled.

– Methocarbamol at 300mg – breaks the spasm. The muscle contraction that locks you down long after the injury starts healing. Most pain protocols never touch this. It’s why most people stay stuck.

– Famotidine at 10mg – protects your gut from the Naproxen itself. The formula solves the problem its own ingredients would otherwise create.

– Caffeine at 60mg – accelerates the whole stack and counteracts the drowsiness from the muscle relaxant. Faster relief. You stay sharp.

Four problems. Four solutions. One prescription.

A pain clinic charges $150 to $350 just to walk through the door. RelieveRx is less and includes the consultation in the price. A licensed provider reviews your intake and calls you. If approved, your prescription ships from a licensed U.S. pharmacy to your door.

Three steps: Order. Fill out a brief medical intake form. Wait for your provider to call. No waiting room. No referral. No being told to come back in six weeks.

On a subscription, your provider checks in every two months – adjusting your care, answering questions, making sure it’s working. That’s more follow-up than most Americans get from their primary care doctor in a year.

You’ve been managing pain your whole life. You haven’t had the right tool until now.

President Trump has revealed important new details about negotiations behind the scenes and a remarkable revelation.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the second pilot/WSO from the downed F-15 fighter jet on Friday was saved in an on-ground US rescue mission Saturday night, which involved an epic and grueling battle with Iranian forces.

Shortly following the Truth Social post, Trump spoke to Fox News’s Trey Yingst and provided new details on negotiations with Iran, including what will happen if there’s no deal.

Trump not only confirmed that he would blow everything up, but would perhaps take over the oil as well.

But the president also appeared optimistic about an agreement, saying it could happen as soon as tomorrow. Moreover, he said the people negotiating for Iran have been given amnesty to continue these talks.

YINGST: I just spoke to President Trump, and he gave me new details on the negotiations behind the scenes with Iran and what is going to happen if Iran does not make a good-faith deal.

The president said, “If they don’t make a deal and fast, I’m considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil.”

The president went on to say, “You’re going to see bridges and power plants dropping all over their country.”

I asked him about the possibility of an agreement with the Iranians. He said, “Those who are negotiating on behalf of Iran have been granted amnesty” to continue the talks.

The president tells me he believes he will be able to get a deal by tomorrow.

He says, “I think there’s a good chance tomorrow, they’re negotiating now.”

Trump also said he had sent guns to Iranian protesters via the Kurds.

“We sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them,” Trump told Yingst. “And I think the Kurds took the guns.”

Easter in Iraq – Chaldean Christians

Happy Easter 2026!
He is Risen!

Matthew 28: 1-7

1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

Wishing you and yours a joyous and blessed Easter.

Please pray for the persecuted this Easter, for our country, our President, for our culture, for our families.
God bless you on this Easter Sunday.

TDS-suffering liberals with nothing better to do on Easter weekend decided to spread a huge lie about President Trump’s health and were promptly red-faced when it backfired.

Throughout Saturday, Walter Reed trended on X after major left-wing accounts started claiming without evidence that President Trump had been spotted at Walter Reed Military Medical Center.

Apparently, they wanted Americans to believe that since the White House had called a lid for the day, and Trump had not appeared publicly, the president must have suffered a health emergency.

Ed Krassenstein, one of the infamous grifting Krassenstein brothers, helped get the lie rolling by tweeting this out to his 1 million followers.

“Speculation is rising that Donald Trump is at Walter Reed,” he wrote.

“Fear not! President Trump literally never stops working.”
