Month: April 2026

The successful return of the Artemis II crew saw Cmdr. Reid Wiseman experience a shift in his heart toward Jesus Christ; hopefully this is only the beginning for him.

The crew returned to Earth April 10, landing in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, California.

The nine-day mission was a historic one — this was the farthest a human crew had traveled from the planet.

The weight of the moment was not lost on Wiseman who told reporters he sought a chaplain after returning, despite saying, “I’m not really a religious person. [00:03]

“There was just no other avenue for me to explain anything or to experience anything, so I asked for the chaplain on the Navy ship to just come visit us for a minute,” he said. “And when that man walked in, I’d never met him before in my life, but I saw the cross on his collar and I just broke down in tears.

“It’s very hard to fully grasp what we just went through.”

NEW: Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman reflects on being MOVED to tears by the Christian cross after returning to Earth from the historic expedition:

As it is written in Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.”

The Artemis II crew saw God’s work in all its magnificence and were left awestruck by the experience.

Wiseman doesn’t proclaim himself a Christian or religious otherwise, but even he could not ignore that what he witnessed was not random circumstance.

He seems to be waking up to the truth, but the consciousness must catch up to his psyche.

The German physicist Werner Heisenberg said, “The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.”

Wiseman, in the context of what humanity has experienced up to this point, glimpsed the bottom of the glass and proved Heisenberg’s statement holds true.

According to Premier Christian News, fellow crew member and pilot Victor Glover, an outspoken Christian, professed his faith before the mission and stated how important it was throughout his career.

“My career is fed by my faith, and you know, anytime I do something that’s pretty risky, I pray — before I fly, every time I fly. I fly airplanes a few times a week. Definitely when you go sit on top of a rocket ship.

“In the military, there’s a saying that there are no atheists in foxholes. There aren’t any on top of rockets, either,” said Glover, a member of the Church of Christ and a Sunday School teacher.

Before Artemis II’s launch he commented,  “I pray that God will bless this mission.

“But I also pray that we can continue to serve as a source of inspiration, for cooperation and peace, not just between nations but in our own nation.”

God blessed the mission in ways perhaps Glover did not anticipate, planting the seeds of faith in his commander.

While attending Tufts University, Rumeysa Ozturk, a medical graduate student from Turkey,  co-authored an anti- Israel op-ed and was accused of supporting the Hamas terrorist group. Now, after a lengthy legal battle with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Ozturk has self-deported back to Turkey.

In March 2025, the State Department under Secretary Marco Rubio quietly revoked her valid F-1 student visa.

Later, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents apprehended the Turkish national outside her Massachusetts residence.

Masked ICE officers swiftly moved in on the terrorist sympathizer, confiscating her belongings and placing her in handcuffs after a months-long DHS investigation revealed that she had “engaged in activities in support of Hamas,” a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization responsible for murdering innocent civilians, including Americans.

“Rumeysa Ozturk is a Turkish national and Tufts University graduate student, granted the privilege to be in this country on a visa. DHS and ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans,” a DHS spokesperson told ABC News.

“A visa is a privilege not a right. Glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be terminated. This is commonsense security.”

Later, a federal judge in Massachusetts, Denise Casper, ordered that Ozturk not be removed from the U.S. without court approval.

After a flurry of multi-state transfers and hearings addressing jurisdiction and the lawfulness of her detention, an immigration judge initially denied bond, citing potential danger to the community.

But in May 2025, U.S. District Judge William K. Sessions III (Vermont) ordered her immediate release on bail, with no travel restrictions beyond certain areas. She returned to Massachusetts shortly after.

In December 2025, a federal judge in Massachusetts ruled that her Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) record was wrongfully terminated and must be reinstated, allowing her to resume her research, teaching, and full participation in her PhD program at Tufts.

Ozturk completed and received her PhD from Tufts in February.

In February, an immigration judge terminated removal/deportation proceedings against her, determining that the DHS lacked legal grounds to deport her.

The DOJ, however, signaled continued attempts to deport Ozturk.

Rather than continue the legal battle, Fox News reports that late Thursday night, Ozturk self-deported from the U.S. on a flight to Istanbul, Turkey.

The fallout from this immigration case and others has prompted President Trump to make changes.

In December, he fired eight immigration judges in New York City.

Earlier in April, Trump fired six more immigration judges for blocking deportations, including two of the immigration judges who blocked the deportation of Ozturk and another pro-Palestinian activist.

The Justice Department on Friday removed a career federal prosecutor who was slow-walking charges against John Brennan.

Former CIA Director John Brennan is the “target” of the grand jury Russiagate probe in South Florida.

Last July, it was reported that former FBI Director James Comey and John Brennan were under FBI investigation over their involvement in Russiagate.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred Brennan and Comey for prosecution over the summer.

US Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones in the Southern District of Florida is in charge of the investigation.

On Friday, CNN reported that the DOJ abruptly removed the lead ‘career’ Miami prosecutor who was stonewalling and slow-walking charges against Brennan.

“The Justice Department has removed the career Miami federal prosecutor leading the investigation into John Brennan, after she resisted pressure to quickly bring charges against the former CIA director and prominent critic of President Donald Trump, according to people briefed on the matter,” CNN reported.

“Maria Medetis Long on Friday notified attorneys representing people involved in the case that she was no longer handling the investigation, the people familiar with the matter said. She has led the politically sensitive probe for months amid demands from Trump to prosecute Brennan and other critics,” the outlet reported.

CNN reported that career prosecutors in the South Florida office are pushing back and claiming there isn’t a strong enough case to bring charges against Brennan.

“The career prosecutors and investigators handling the case have for months pushed back against demands to quickly bring charges against Brennan, CNN reported, and have signaled to Justice Department officials they don’t believe the case is a strong one. Still, they have continued to work toward possibly bringing it in federal court in Washington, DC,” CNN reported.

Brennan was also separately referred for prosecution by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.

Chairman Jordan referred Brennan to the DOJ for knowingly making false statements during a May 2023 interview with the House Judiciary Committee.

Republican Rep. Eric Burlison, who is on the House Oversight Committee, is demanding a full federal investigation into a disturbing wave of deaths and disappearances involving top U.S. scientists working on classified aerospace, defense, and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP/UFO) programs, calling the pattern “too coincidental” to ignore.

Burlison told Fox & Friends on Friday morning that his office had been tracking the cases for over a year.

The congressman stressed that the scientists had access to highly sensitive information and many reported feeling threatened before vanishing or turning up dead.

“This is too coincidental, and so we have to be investigating this,” Burlison said. “We need to have our nation’s top investigators, the FBI, and every agency looking into this matter.”

“They just literally disappeared, left all of their devices at home. This is not normal.”

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that his administration is already reviewing the cases.

The list now stands at 11 high-level researchers. Many left behind phones, wallets, and other devices when they disappeared, a detail Burlison called highly unusual for individuals in national security roles.

The latest name drawing attention is Amy Eskridge, a 34-year-old aerospace researcher from Huntsville, Alabama, who died on June 11, 2022.

Authorities initially ruled her death a suicide by self-inflicted gunshot wound, but the case is now being re-examined due to the emerging pattern.

Eskridge was president of The Institute for Exotic Science, a company which she founded specifically to create a “public-facing persona” for disclosing anti-gravity technology and related breakthroughs.

She had been researching advanced propulsion systems, gravity modification, and topics involving UFOs and extraterrestrial life.

According to a report from the New York Post, in a 2020 interview, Eskridge explicitly warned that she felt escalating threats and said she needed to go public soon for her own safety.

“I need to disclose soon, man. I need to publish soon because it’s like escalating. It’s getting more and more aggressive,” Eskridge said.

“This has been going on for like four or five years, and over the past 12 months, it’s been escalating, like more aggressive, more invasive digging through my underwear drawer and sexual threats.”

She told associates that going public was safer than keeping the work private, stating, “If you stick your neck out in private… they will bury you, they will burn down your house while you’re sleeping in your bed and it won’t even make the news.”

Retired British intelligence officer Franc Milburn, who partnered with Eskridge to investigate the harassment, submitted findings to Congress in 2023.

Milburn concluded her death was not a suicide and alleged she had been subjected to multiple physical and psychological attacks, including a suspected “directed energy weapon” incident that caused microwave burns on her body, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

Eskridge’s father, Richard Eskridge, is a longtime NASA plasma physicist, adding another layer of high-level scientific connections to the case.

Other cases in the growing list include:

• Air Force Maj. Gen. William “Neil” McCasland, who disappeared from his Albuquerque, New Mexico home on February 27, 2026, after leaving all devices behind. He had previously been contacted about UAP research and appeared in WikiLeaks Podesta emails tied to UFO discussions.
• Melissa Casias and Anthony Chavez, both linked to Los Alamos National Laboratory (vanished in 2025).
• Steven Garcia, who worked security for non-nuclear weapon components (missing August 2025).
• Aerospace engineer Monica Jacinto Reza (missing June 2025).
• NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineer Frank Maiwald (died 2024).
• MIT physicist Nuno Loureiro (shot dead in December 2025).
• Caltech exoplanet researcher Carl Grillmair (killed February 2026).
• Novartis chemical biology team leader Jason Thomas (found dead in March 2026).

Burlison has not ruled out foreign adversaries such as China, Russia, or Iran as possible actors targeting America’s top scientific talent. He called for bipartisan support for a thorough probe to protect national security assets.

No official connections between the cases have been confirmed by authorities, but the timing, shared backgrounds in classified programs, and reports of prior threats have fueled widespread speculation, especially given the UFO and advanced propulsion angles.

Gateway Pundit will continue to follow this developing story as the Trump administration’s investigation unfolds.

A hoax bomb threat targeted the Chicago-area home of Pope Leo XIV’s brother just days after President Trump’s pointed Truth Social criticism of the pontiff’s weak stance on crime and foreign policy.

Incident Details

New Lenox Police Department received a bomb threat report at 6:29 p.m. CT on April 15, 2026, targeting a private residence on Sojourn Road. Officers established a perimeter and evacuated nearby homes out of caution. Will County Sheriff’s Office deployed K9 explosive-detection units for a thorough search. Investigators cleared the scene that evening after confirming no explosives or hazardous materials. John Prevost, brother of Pope Leo XIV, resides at the address per public records. No injuries occurred, and residents returned home.

Trump-Pope Tensions Provide Context

President Trump posted on Truth Social days before the threat, deriding Pope Leo XIV as “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.” Trump praised the Pope’s other brother, Louis in Florida, as a supporter. The Pope had criticized U.S.-led wars in Iran and Lebanon, fueling public U.S.-Vatican friction. Sources confirm no evidence links the hoax to Trump’s rhetoric. Police Chief Micah Nuesse emphasized the independent local investigation. This backdrop amplifies national attention on a suburban incident, underscoring divides over strong foreign policy and law enforcement.

Police Response and Investigation

Chief Micah Nuesse’s department posted on Facebook that the threat proved unsubstantiated. On April 16, Nuesse told EWTN News the probe remains active with no new updates or suspects named. The threat arrived via email to New Lenox PD and Will County Sheriff’s Office. Hoax bomb reports constitute felonies in Illinois, with charges likely upon identifying the perpetrator. Authorities urge tips via hotline 815-485-2500 or the village website. Officers continue monitoring the area for safety.

Community and Broader Impacts

The quiet New Lenox suburb, 40 miles southwest of Chicago, faced brief disruption from evacuations and police presence. John Prevost and family endured direct trauma, while neighbors experienced anxiety. Short-term costs involve response resources; long-term, papal relatives may require enhanced security. Politically, the timing spotlights Trump administration priorities like robust defense against Iran and Lebanon threats, contrasting the Pope’s objections. Catholic communities watch amid ongoing rhetoric, though no policy changes emerge. Police stress hoax deterrence to protect communities from such crimes.

In October of 2024, former Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer entered into an agreement with the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (Board) to shift certain election duties away from the Recorder’s office and to the Board.  This was done months after Justin Heap defeated Richer in the July 30th, 2024, Republican Primary for Maricopa County Recorder, and one month before Heap won the November 5th election to succeed Richer.

The agreement was unanimous and gave the Board control over early ballot processing, including the appointment of a bipartisan board responsible for overseeing the early voting process.  The agreement also centralized election-related information technology (IT) functions, as well as the $5 million budget associated with the IT service.

Following the agreement’s approval on October 10th, KJZZ Phoenix reported:

The agreement, unanimously approved by the board on Oct. 10, gives the Board of Supervisors the authority to appoint the board that processes early ballots, which includes an inspector and two judges from different political parties. According to the Election Procedures Manual, those boards examine, count and verify early ballots before they are tabulated. That includes opening envelopes, ensuring the ballot envelopes show the correct election code and identifying damaged ballots.

…

Under the previous shared services agreement adopted in 2023, the recorder managed early ballot processing.

Under the new agreement, the Recorder’s Office will retain other election-related responsibilities, including voter registration, planning and administering early voting and signature verification of early ballots.

However, the Board of Supervisors also voted to move the recorder’s information technology staff and its associated $5 million budget under its supervision, including “any IT-related service necessary for the Recorder to effectively perform its elections or business-related responsibilities as designated.

Upon assuming office, Heap cancelled the contract and called on the newly seated Board of Supervisors to renegotiate.  In a statement posted to the Maricopa County Recorder’s website, Heap suggested he would take legal action over “the Supervisors’ unwillingness to address these concerns.”

Heap did take legal action, and yesterday a Maricopa County Superior Court judge sided with the Recorder’s position.

According to the Court’s decision, the authority was delegated to a county’s recorder or an “other officer in charge of elections.”  But the order also stated that, “The recorder may subsequently withdraw his or her consent and reclaim his or her statutory authority or responsibility.”

The judge ordered that the Board of Supervisors “return to the Recorder’s direct custody and/or control the IT staff, servers, databases, software, websites, and equipment that were in the Recorder’s custody…prior to October of 2024…” and enjoined the Board of Supervisors “from further exercising any election functions delegated by the Legislature to the Recorder.”

The Board of Supervisors had argued that it had the authority to control funding and structure operations of the Recorder’s office, however, the judge rejected that claim, finding that the Board of Supervisors has a “non-discretionary duty to fund all reasonable and necessary expenses of the Recorder as set forth in Title 16 of Arizona Revised Statutes.”

 

“In a decisive ruling issued April 16, 2026, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge found that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors overstepped its authority in its ongoing dispute with Recorder Justin Heap, ordering the Board to restore key election functions and resources…

Ye’s tour is under heavy cancellation pressures.

Another show in Kanye West’s embattled 2026 tour has been canceled, after he was banned from the UK, and ‘postponed’ his show in the French city of Marseille.

Today (17), a Polish stadium announced that it will cancel West’s concert ‌amid widespread condemnation over his past celebration of Nazism.

Reuters reported:

“’We would like to inform you that the Ye (Kanye West) concert planned for 19 June 2026 ​at the… Slaski stadium will not take place due to ​formal and legal reasons’, stadium director Adam Strzyzewski said in ⁠a statement posted on Facebook.

The decision by the Slaski stadium ​in the western city of Chorzow, first reported by Wyborcza newspaper on ​its website, comes just over a week after Britain blocked the 48-year-old from travelling there to headline a festival.”

West has not reacted to the news yet.

The rapper apologized in January for his Nazi praise, attributing it to ‘untreated bipolar disorder’.

He made a point of renouncing past social media posts praising Adolf ‌Hitler.

“Authorities ⁠in Poland had already signaled they would seek to ban the planned June 19 concert.

‘In a country scarred by the history of the Holocaust, we cannot pretend that this is just entertainment’, Polish Culture ​Minister Marta Cienkowska ​said on Thursday.”

Fairfax County, Virginia, decided students should no longer get Veterans Day as a holiday.

However, Indigenous Peoples’ Day is one “holiday” they’ll gladly keep.

FFX Now reported on Monday that the county school board has arrived at their calendar for the next academic year, which reduced the number of early release days and omitted Veterans Day as a holiday.

Both Veterans Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day were up for omission as holidays, but only the former passed.

Ostensibly, the decision came in response to parents’ concerns about disruptions to the school year.

Fairfax County’s board has not been a shining example for an educational body when looking at its history.

A Virginia mother, Stacey Langton, spoke out three years ago when Fairfax County included lewd LGBT-themed books in its libraries, exposing children to sexual content.

Per Fox News, the board quietly removed “Queer: A Graphic History” after Langton appeared at one of their meetings on May 11, 2023, with an image from the volume printed out.

The image depicted a sexual act between a man and woman where roles were reversed.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Fairfax County has decided to fight the Trump administration for its insistence on having transgender bathrooms and other spaces for students, per a release by Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid.

The latest decision with Veterans Day is just another step in the wrong direction.

It really is shameful that a county in a state like Virginia would do such a thing.

This is the birthplace of former President George Washington, the commander-in-chief who led the Continental Army to victory against the British.

The Virginia dynasty includes Washington, along with former Presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe.

Aside from being the home of several presidents, we cannot overlook the critical events in the military history of our nation that unfolded in the state.

British General Lord Charles Cornwallis surrendered to Washington at Yorktown, Virginia, in October 1781. Several decisive battles of the American Civil War were also fought in Virginia.

It is home to Arlington Cemetery, where service members rest after paying the ultimate price.

If anyone should be honoring and holding Veterans Day in the highest regard, it should be Virginia and their largest school district.

Iran-Linked Terror Cell Claims Radioactive Drone Attack on Israeli Embassy in London as Police Swarm Park in Hazmat Suits.

London woke up to a frightening security alert on Friday, 17 April 2026. Police closed Kensington Gardens, one of the capital’s premier royal parks, after an Iran-linked Islamic group posted a video claiming to have launched drones carrying radioactive and cancer-causing materials toward the nearby Israeli Embassy.

Officers in full hazmat suits and gas masks descended on the area, joined by chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) teams, fire investigation units, hazardous-response ambulances, and even underwater search-and-rescue divers near the bandstand.

The group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, roughly translating to “Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right,” released footage showing individuals in white protective suits handling drones bearing its logo. The video depicted a drone lifting off into the evening sky from what appeared to be a local park. It warned of “radioactive and dangerous carcinogenic material” and urged people to stay 900 meters away. The group described the alleged operation as entering its “second phase,” building on prior claims of arson attacks on Jewish ambulances, a Finchley synagogue, and an Iranian opposition TV station in Wembley.

Metropolitan Police confirmed the Israeli Embassy was not attacked and staff remained safe. Counter Terrorism Policing is urgently investigating the video’s authenticity and any link to “discarded items” found in the park. Public access was fully blocked with signs warning of “hazardous conditions.”

A heavy cordon remains in place, with Kensington Gardens shut for the day while Hyde Park stays open. The Israeli Embassy issued a measured statement recognizing the investigation but stressing continuous contact with authorities, and no direct threat materialized.

This incident comes as US-Israel-Iran conflict tensions are high. Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia uses insignia similar to Iran’s IRGC, Hezbollah, and Iraqi militias. The group has taken credit for attacks across Europe since the conflict deepened.

Experts say their imagery suggests a ‘spiritual mission’ of divine favor. This masks what appears to be state-backed disruption. Deputy Commissioner Matt Jukes recently warned that some are paid or persuaded by foreign states to commit crimes. He promised consequences for those acting on hatred, racism, or antisemitism.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp rightly demanded clarity from the Government on the steps it is taking to protect the embassy and the Jewish community. “The unrelenting intimidation of the Jewish community and attacks on Jewish institutions have absolutely no place in this country,” he stated.

Yet the episode raises deeper questions about Britain’s vulnerability. Porous borders, lax vetting, and an unwillingness to confront Islamic networks have allowed such threats to proliferate. Similar patterns appear in grooming gangs scandals, where political correctness and fear of “Islamophobia” labels enabled decades of abuse before any reckoning.

For America, this incident acts as a warning.

Sanctuary policies and challenges related to migration have presented risks, as noted in FBI reports on trafficking and extremism in migrant communities. If rigorous security, law enforcement, and open debate about cultural attitudes are not prioritized, similar incidents could occur in US cities, with public spaces at risk. European targets such as synagogues, embassies, and tourist sites highlight vulnerabilities that may also exist in states like Minnesota or Michigan, where these patterns may not always receive attention.

Britain’s response involved quickly deploying specialist teams. However, a call for proactive strategies remains: policies have sometimes prioritized social harmony, making it difficult to address Iran-linked cells. Private prosecutions and independent inquiries, such as Rupert Lowe’s work on grooming gangs, demonstrate the importance of supplementary investigations when official responses are slow or incomplete.

Transparency regarding foreign interference and proxy networks is equally important.

A solution requires focus on robust border controls, enforcement against foreign agents, protection of Jewish and Western institutions, and open debate that is not constrained by restrictive definitions. Without careful attention to these areas, the current park closure could represent a larger issue.

Policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic may prioritize sovereignty, security, and national identity to reduce the risk of similar incidents in the future.
