Heartbreaking Video from Jos Exposes Nigeria’s Christian Genocide – While @Reuters and @nytimes Refuse to Call the Terrorists What They Are This is what “complex farmer-herder clashes” look like when mainstream media won’t say the quiet part out loud. Watch the raw agony in this video from Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. A devastated Christian mother and widow screams in grief after Islamic terrorists murdered her husband and son. The killers didn’t steal cows or fight over grazing land. They targeted a Christian family in an area where churches and villages are being systematically wiped out. Christian communities across Nigeria’s Middle Belt have been ravaged for years. Thousands slaughtered. Churches burned. Entire villages erased. This isn’t random crime. It’s a pattern of jihadist violence by Fulani militants, Boko Haram, and ISWAP affiliates who explicitly target Christians for their faith. But don’t expect Reuters or The New York Times to call it what it is. Reuters has repeatedly framed these massacres as “herder-farmer clashes” or generic “terrorism” that supposedly affects “both sides equally.” They echo Nigerian government talking points that deny any religious persecution. Even when attackers are identified as Muslim Fulani militants mowing down Christian farmers with rifles and machetes, Reuters often refuses to label them Islamic terrorists carrying out targeted religious cleansing. The New York Times goes further: they’ve outright denied there is a Christian genocide in Nigeria. In multiple 2025-2026 articles, the NYT claimed there’s “no clear evidence” Christians are targeted more than anyone else, dismissed the violence as “complex” land disputes or criminality, and attacked U.S. officials (including President Trump) for raising the issue. Just days ago, in their Palm Sunday attack coverage, they called claims of a “Christian genocide” false. Tell that to the grieving widow in Jos. This isn’t journalism. It’s narrative protection. While Christians are hunted, bombed, and butchered in their homes and churches, outlets like Reuters and the NYT downplay the Islamist ideology driving the killers, ignore the body count, and smear anyone sounding the alarm as “right-wing” or “interfering.” Meanwhile, real data from persecution watchdogs, survivor testimonies, and on-the-ground reports paint a clear picture: Nigeria is ground zero for one of the world’s worst ongoing anti-Christian genocides. The silence isn’t accidental. It’s ideological. Admitting the truth would require confronting uncomfortable realities about radical Islam in Africa—something these legacy media outlets have spent years avoiding. Enough. The world has watched this horror unfold for far too long. Videos like this one don’t lie. The blood on the ground doesn’t lie. The empty churches and orphaned children don’t lie. It’s time to call it what it is: genocide. And it’s time to demand that Reuters and The New York Times stop gaslighting their readers and start telling the truth about the terrorists slaughtering Christians in Nigeria. If legacy media won’t report the reality, independent voices on platforms like X will. Share this. Speak up. Demand accountability—from the killers, from the Nigerian government that fails to protect its citizens, and from the Western press that looks away.

Very glad Israel quickly reversed course on this unjust decision and will allow His Eminence Cardinal Pizzaballa into the Holy Sepulchre, as is his right 🙏 Grateful to His Eminence for leading the flock so fearlessly. May this holy week be full of peace and grace for all people





The Bulls are punishing a player for being a Christian. This is religious discrimination.








Never Forget...when skate parks were filled with sand to make them unusable during COVID mandated lockdowns. Never forget how they treated us, locked us down & ruined outdoor parks to keep us inside.
