Hundreds of prominent buildings around the world were illuminated in red on November 20 to mark Red Wednesday, an annual event in support of persecuted Christians. The red-lit buildings included scores of cathedrals and churches, but also iconic monuments and public buildings such as the Westminster Parliament and the Hungarian Presidential Palace. The initiative was first launched by the Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) in 2016 to draw attention to the reality of anti-Christian persecution around the world and emphasize the importance of religious freedom as a fundamental human right. Red, the color of blood, is the traditional color associated with martyrdom. Vatican News reported that some 300 different events were taking place in more than 20 countries to mark Red Week, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, the Philippines, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia. According to ACN’s recently published biennial report, “Persecuted and Forgotten?”, Christian persecution has significantly worsened between 2022 and 2024. The epicenter of militant Islamist violence has shifted from the Middle East to Africa, the report notes, and in parts of Burkina Faso, Nigeria, and Mozambique, Christians have been terrorized by targeted violence. ...In Eritrea, as well, some 400 Christians are currently imprisoned – without trial – just because of their faith. [More examples in the article.] State and non-state actors have increasingly weaponized legislation as a means of oppressing Christians and other minority religious groups, the report found. This latest period has also witnessed increased threats to Christian children, especially girls, who have suffered abduction, sexual violence, forced marriage and forced conversion. Jaguar is being blasted on social media for its ultra-woke commercial featuring androgynous models and not even a single car, with conservatives dubbing the ad “Bud Light 2.0.” The Jaguar commercial, which was posted to the car company’s social media on Tuesday, showed only androgynous individuals clad in bizarre attire that would hardly fit in at a fashion show. The advertisement also failed to showcase even one single vehicle from the luxury car company. Elon Musk also chimed in, asking Jaguar, “Do you sell cars?” Russia is now warning about a new attack on a US base in Poland with “advanced weapons,” only hours after they reportedly launched intercontinental missiles inside Ukraine in response to Ukraine sending US-made ballistic missiles into Russia. According to the New York Times, America’s “President” Joe Biden gave Ukraine permission to launch the missiles, which was a major shift in US policy. Only one day after Joe Biden appeared to get lost inside the Amazon Rainforest during a press conference and less than one week after Joe Biden was missing from the “family photo” at the G20 Summit, America’s latest welfare state recipient, Ukraine, launched ballistic missiles into Russia, sparking legitimate fears of a world war. The Kremlin has, throughout the war, used the threat of deploying its nuclear arsenal to try to deter the West from providing more robust military support to Ukraine. On Tuesday, Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei V. Lavrov, called Ukraine’s use of ATACMS in the Bryansk region “a signal that they want escalation” — a reference to the U.S. and Western allies. Conservative talk show host Steve Gruber, who has been on fire for the past couple of days, ranted over the very real threat of nuclear war and accused the Biden Regime (whomever that may be) of starting a world war only months before President Trump is set to be sworn into office at the 47th President of the United States. While President Trump based much of his campaign on promising to work toward brokering peace agreements between Russia and Ukraine, it should be of great concern to every American that Democrat leadership appears to be working to escalate the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in advance of Donald Trump’s inauguration and during Joe Biden’s lame-duck presidency. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/breaking-russia-threatens-attack-us-base-poland-video/ On Thursday former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev taunted the West by posting video of Russia’s hypersonic ballistic missile attack on Ukraine. Medvedev wrote on X: “So that’s what you wanted? You damn well got it!” This hypersonic attack on Ukraine took place after several attacks on Russia this week by Ukrainian and NATO forces using US-made long-range missiles. On Sunday, Joe Biden’s regime approved Ukraine’s use of US-made long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia. The Washington Post reported that Biden will allow Ukraine to use a powerful American long-range weapon for strikes inside Russia, supposedly in response to North Korea’s recent aid to Russia in the form of thousands of troops. Ukraine will be specifically allowed to use the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to hit targets inside Russia. As The Post notes, ATACMS is a supersonic-guided missile system that can be used with either cluster munitions or conventional warheads. It has a maximum range of about 190 miles. Putin, following reports of Biden’s decision to give Ukraine permission to “long-range” missiles, approved the updated nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation. As part of the new doctrine Russia spelled out that aggression against Russia and its allies by a non-nuclear country with the support of a nuclear state will be considered a joint attack. On Wednesday morning Joe Biden approved antipersonnel land mines for Ukraine – undoing his previous policy. The mines are designed for use against humans. Joe Biden just authorized these horrible weapons to blow up humans in Ukraine. Via Reuters – The United States has provided Ukraine with anti-tank mines throughout its war with Russia, but the addition of anti-personnel mines aims at blunting the advance of Russian ground troops, the official added, speaking on condition of anonymity. Now on Thursday, Russia retaliated with hypersonic ballistic missiles into Ukraine. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/thats-what-you-wanted-you-damn-well-got/ Texas public schools could use teachings from the Bible in lessons as an option for students from kindergarten through fifth grade under a proposal that drew hours of testimony Monday and follows Republican-led efforts in other states to incorporate more religious teaching into classrooms. Teachers and parents gave impassioned testimony for and against the curriculum plan at a meeting of the Texas State Board of Education, which is expected to hold a final vote on the measure later this week. The curriculum — designed by the state’s public education agency — would allow teachings from the Bible such as the Golden Rule and lessons from books such as Genesis into classrooms. Under the plan, it would be optional for schools to adopt the curriculum though they would receive additional funding if they did so. Some complained that the proposal contradicts the public school mission. “This curriculum fails to meet the standard of an honest, secular one,” educator Megan Tessler said. “Public schools are meant to educate, not indoctrinate.” Others strongly backed the idea. “Parents and teachers want a return to excellence,” Cindy Asmussen, one of those testifying, told the panel. “Stories and concepts in the Bible have been common for hundreds of years,” and that, she said, is a core part of classical learning. Education officials were expected to vote Friday on whether public schools would be given the option to teach the curriculum. Education officials were expected to vote Friday on whether public schools would be given the option to teach the curriculum. “Under the term ‘diversity,’ there is almost zero controlled immigration of qualified, hard-working people, but almost exclusively an invasion from illiterate, Islamist Stone Age cultures.” Julian Reichelt, former editor-in-chief of Bild, has emerged as one of the most prominent critics of multiculturalism. Speaking via his YouTube channel, Achtung Reichelt!, he delivered a scathing critique of what he calls the “ideology of diversity” in the wake of the mass Islamic stabbing attack in Solingen on August 23, 2024, where three people were killed and eight injured, accompanied by the Syrian migrant’s cries of “Allahu Akhbar.” Reichelt’s statements mark a major departure from his earlier career as a progressive journalist, reports Gates of Vienna. Once a proponent of welcoming Syrian refugees and an opponent of giving airtime to the conservative Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), Reichelt has performed a complete political U-turn, now railing against the cultural and societal consequences of unchecked Islamic immigration. Reichelt minced no words as he skewered diversity as a façade for societal collapse and state failure. Citing Wuppertal Police Chief Markus Röhl, who recently admitted that Germans must now personally weigh the risks of attending public events, he declared: “This is the surrender to the violence that plagues this country. The term ‘diversity’ now stands for the abandonment of our rules, for the collapse of our social order.” Instead of enriching society, he argued, it has brought sharia-adherent practices, crime, and fear to the nation’s streets. “This word ‘diversity’ stands for a trail of blood that runs all across our country,” he declared. “It does not stand for enrichment through new ideas or progress, but for the uncontrolled onslaught of Islam on our country and our prosperity.” “Germany stands at a crossroads,” Reichelt concluded. “The ideology of diversity is killing our country. It’s time to take it back.” https://rairfoundation.com/former-left-wing-german-journalist-ideology-diversity-is/ The most disgraced media news network could soon be under conservative management if the world’s richest man turns his sights on it. As Jim Hoft previously reported, MSNBC’s ratings have completely collapsed since President Trump’s historic victory in the 2024 elections. For example, Andrea Mitchell is down 39.7%, Joy Reid’s Reidout is down 54.6%, All-in w/ Chris Hayes is down 47.2%. Alex Wagner Tonight is down 53.6%, and Lawrence O’Donnell is down 60.6%. On top of this, several of the network’s biggest ‘stars‘ are facing massive pay cuts as a result of the falling ratings. The statistics from the Federal Employment Agency (BA), provided to Welt newspaper, show that of the more than 4 million people who can work but receive social benefits, more than 2.5 million have a migration background, constituting 63.5 percent. This group includes foreigners and those who have a foreign background, which means their parents may have been born abroad. The cost of providing this social welfare rose to €12.2 billion last year, but in total, Germany spent nearly €50 billion on immigrants and protecting its border last year. https://rmx.news/article/63-of-all-welfare-recipients-in-germany-have-a-migration-background/ The former leader of the Ukrainian Armed Forces declared that World War III has already started, as tensions rise amid escalating strikes from both sides of the European conflict. Speaking before Ukrainska Pravda’s UP100 award ceremony on Friday, Zaluzhnyi said that his homeland was already embroiled in an international conflict, noting the use of Iranian drones, North Korean missiles, and Chinese shells by the Russians. The comments from the former Ukrainian commander — who now serves as ambassador to Britain — come after a week of heavy escalations in the Ukraine war, kicked off by reports that lame duck U.S. President Joe Biden had authorised Kyiv to use long-range ATACMS missiles against targets within the Russian mainland, a move he had hitherto refused to back for fear of provoking the world’s largest nuclear power into a potentially globally devastating response. The move by Biden was quickly followed by similar approval from London, which apparently signed off on the use of UK-made Storm Shadow long range missiles, which reportedly hit targets in the Russian region of Kursk on Wednesday. In response, Vladimir Putin announced an update to Moscow’s nuclear doctrine, now stating that “any attack” sponsored by a third party nuclear power on Russia, even if not nuclear in nature, would justify a nuclear retaliation from the Kremlin. Federal funding for the nation’s largest abortion provider could be on the chopping block under the direction of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy and the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In a joint op-ed in the Wall Street Journal published on Wednesday, Musk and Ramaswamy laid out their plans to cut federal overspending and to return power to the “people we elect [to] run the government” rather than unelected bureaucrats. Part of this plan involves slashing millions in funding awarded to “progressive groups like Planned Parenthood,” they wrote. Planned Parenthood’s 2023 annual report reveals that taxpayer funding in the form of government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements hit $699.3 million, and made up 34 percent of Planned Parenthood’s overall revenue. The same report shows that Planned Parenthood peformed 392,716 abortions in 2021-2022, a 5-percent increase from the previous year and a 20-percent increase over its past ten reports, according to the institute.
