Nigerian Muslim terrorists abducted 300 Catholic students and staff
Muslim terrorists abducted 315 Catholic students and staff from St. Mary’s School in the northern region of Nigeria on Friday, reports International Christian Concern.
Those kidnapped include 303 students and 12 teachers. It’s one of the worst kidnappings in the nation’s history, which has tragically become a flashpoint for persecution against Catholics and Protestants.
No doubt many of them are echoing the prayer of Psalm 141:1-2 where David wrote, “I call to You, Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to You. May my prayer be set before You like incense.”
Back in 2014, Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist group, seized 276 Chibok schoolgirls.
In addition, the Islamic State West Africa Province and Fulani Muslim herdsmen have also wreaked havoc on the West African country.
The Trump administration, which designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern, has recently pressured the Nigerian government to do more to protect Catholics and Protestants. During the past 20 years, Nigerian Muslims have killed 50,000 Christians, displacing hundreds of thousands more.
Shawn Wright, the new president of International Christian Concern, issued an urgent call to action.
To the government of Nigeria, he called officials to:
- Deploy specialized rescue forces immediately and recover the abducted Christians without delay.
- Strengthen protection for Christian institutions.
- Address underlying persecution.
And to the United States government, Shawn Wright called officials to:
- Immediately enact tougher economic sanctions against Nigeria.
- leverage assistance to Nigeria based on results.
- Support civil society and Christian groups in Nigeria.
- Use diplomatic influence there.
Wright said, “When children are hauled from their dormitories, when … teachers are terrorized, when entire communities live in the shadow of fear — silence is complicity.”
Former Brazilian President arrested ahead of vigil to prevent escape
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken into custody on Saturday, hours before a vigil was to be held outside his residence, reports One America News.
On Saturday, the former president’s period of house arrest ended after having been confined since August for violating a ban on the use of social media.
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president’s son, posted a video on Friday calling for a vigil in front of his father’s condominium where Javier was under house arrest. Flavio said, “I invite you to fight with us.”
Brazil’s Supreme Court ruled that the planned vigil could “cause serious harm to public order,” and potentially prevent Bolsonaro from being arrested or enable his “escape.”
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said that Bolsonaro violated his ankle monitor early Saturday morning.
President Donald Trump, a long-term ally of Bolsonaro, denounced the charges against the former Brazilian leader as politically motivated, calling it a “witch hunt.” He imposed a 50% tariff on United States imports of Brazilian goods in response, which Trump began to roll back this month following a meeting with current President Luiz da Silva.
Canadian pork producer objects to unlabeled lab-grown meat
One of Canada’s largest organic pork producers says the public deserves clear labelling, and a real choice before cloned meat hits supermarket shelves, reports Rebel News.
Normally, experimental items like this fall under Canada’s novel foods category, requiring a thorough pre-market safety assessment. This framework mandates that developers provide detailed data on production, contaminants, allergens, toxins, and nutrition. Health Canada reviews typically take about 410 days.
However, Health Canada quietly released a statement on November 13th concluding, based on “all available information” and “scientific opinion,” that foods from lab-grown clones of healthy cattle and swine are as safe as those from traditionally bred animals.
This lab-grown meat has rightly been dubbed “franken-beef” like Frankenstein, the grotesque humanoid character, created in the imagination of Mary Shelley in 1818, who was put together using different body parts from fresh graves and vaults of skeletal remains.
Health Canada has innocuously labeled the lab-grown meat as “cellular agriculture.”
Proverbs 12:22 says, “The LORD detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.”
Tamara Ugolini of Rebel News offered this warning to Canadians.
UGOLINI: “Health Canada has decided there’s no meaningful difference between lab-grown, cloned meat and real life grown meat. So, no labels, no warnings, and, once again, no transparency from the agency allegedly dedicated to regulatory openness and transparency.”
Vincent Breton, a legitimate live pork producer, said, “Consumers should have the right to decide for themselves whether they are going to buy genetically modified foods.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns from Congress after clash with Trump
Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Make America Great Again firebrand who rose to prominence as a combative supporter of President Donald Trump, announced late Friday she is resigning from Congress after a public feud with him, reports Politico.com.
Greene, who was elected to Congress in 2020 from a rural northwestern Georgia district, made the surprise announcement in an 11-minute video address.
She cited her willingness to oppose the Democratic agenda which was costly on a personal level.
GREENE: “I have fought against Democrats’ damaging policies like the Green New Deal, wide open, deadly, unsafe border policies, and the trans agenda on children and against women. With that has brought years of non-stop, never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me that most people could never withstand even for a single day.”
She also noted the handful of differences she had with President Trump.
GREENE: “I never changed or went back on my campaign promises and only disagreed in a few areas, like my stance against H-1B replacing American jobs, AI state moratoriums, debt-for-life-50-year-mortgage scams, standing strongly against all involvement in foreign wars and demanding the release of the Epstein files. Other than that, my voting record has been solidly with my party and the president.
“Loyalty should be a two-way street, and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district’s interests because our job title is literally Representative.’”
Congresswoman Greene highlighted her disagreement with President Trump over the Epstein files.
GREENE: “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked and used by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.”
She did not want to go through a bruising Republican primary in the spring.
GREENE: “I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President that we all fought for, only to fight and win my election, while Republicans will likely lose the midterms, and, in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.”
That’s what led to her surprise resignation announcement.
GREENE: “I’ll be resigning from office, with my last day being January, 5, 2026.”
Stray mutt gets award for comforting families after school shooting
And finally, a stray mutt that turned into a service dog, soothing kids after a school shooting, has just been crowned the 2025 Hero Dog Award by the American Humane Society, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org.
Sgt. Bo, the mixed breed from Nashville, Tennessee, may have started as a stray, but after being rescued off the streets of Florida in 2022, and trained for 12 weeks by prisoners in Brevard County, the four-year-old mutt became a certified therapy dog with the Nashville Police Department.
Just three months into his service with Officer Faye Okert, tragedy struck when a transgender killed three students and three teachers at the city’s Covenant School.
Sgt. Bo was called to help comfort children and families at the reunification site—climbing onto buses, letting shaken students rest against him, and staying until the last family left.
Since then, he has continued visiting schools across the community, helping kids open up, easing anxiety, and reminding everyone that healing can come from the most unexpected places.
