Four of the World's Five Most Populous Nations Persecute Christians  International Christian Concern (ICC) explained, “China (1.41 billion people), India (1.46 billion people), Indonesia (285 million people), and Pakistan (255 million people) routinely strip Christians of fundamental human rights like worshipping freely and sharing their faith with others.” The five most populous countries include the United States, which officially has religious liberty but is increasingly hostile to the public practice of Christianity. Still, the U.S. has nowhere near reached the hostility of the other four.

And now, New York is preparing for another symbolic milestone, the potential election of its first openly Islamic socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, a radical figure celebrated by progressive activists but whose political agenda aligns with Islamic supremacist and anti-Western causes.

Kathy Hochul moves to back socialist Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor    “There's many areas of disagreement, but also there's areas of alignment, including affordability."

Democrats Aren’t Hiding It Anymore: They Plan to Rig the System The reality is Democrats no longer merely seek electoral wins—they aggressively seek to rig the game itself, and they’re not even trying to hide it anymore. We can’t ignore what Beto and Carville said as just rogue voices in the party. They revealed exactly what the party wants to do the moment they return to power. Image

‘Voluntary’ and ‘kind’: History teacher defends Incan human sacrifices   The Colorado high school teacher further claims Incan sacrifices really were no different from “most other civilizations throughout history in times of crisis,” adding she “could equate human sacrifice throughout history to so many things” (but doesn’t).
   What’s more, Pool argues that sacrifice volunteers being from the Incan elite, not lower classes, made the practice less horrific.
   But according to anthropologist Maria Ceruti, the first woman to specialize in high-altitude archeology, research indicates Inca human sacrifice included “strangulation, a blow to the head, suffocation, or being buried alive while unconscious...
