Nigerian President Bola Tinubu ordered the military ​and other security agencies on Tuesday to launch an immediate rescue operation after scores of people were kidnapped by gunmen in north-central Niger State last week.

An armed group posted a ​video on ‌Facebook and WhatsApp showing what residents said were about 600 ⁠women, children and older people abducted during an attack on a mosque in the state.

Reuters could not independently verify ‌the figure, but if confirmed it would rank among Nigeria‘s largest and most audacious ⁠mass kidnappings in recent years.

Watch Louder with Crowder every weekday at 11:00 AM Eastern, only on Rumble Premium!The “mass psychosis” of deranged feminists defending Lindsay Clancy will go down as one of the most deranged movements in American history. This toxic femininity, however, did not begin after idiotic internet rumors about this case. According to Spencer Pratt, it started before COVID. This is why he said what needed to be said.

Pratt took to social media to bring attention to these mass delusions.

The Lindsay Clancy mass psychosis proves that a lot of people need to have their Wifi taken away. But this psychosis started many years before TikTok.

In one specific example, he described how a group of dads attacked a migrant who engaged in an evil act around their kids.

Some criminal migrant m*sturbates in front of children at a public beach; the dads rightfully beat the sh*t out of him, but a woman suffering from suicidal empathy intervenes to protect and comfort that child sex offender? When you see the invasion of Spain, you see a woke woman gleefully waving the invaders in. Is this what Matriarchy looks like? Where this kind of suicidal empathy that exploits the noble virtue of unconditional maternal compassion and perverts it towards the criminal dregs of society, all because wokeness now supersedes all virtue?”

A Colorado man who suffocated his healthy 91-year-old mother to death by placing a plastic bag over her head has avoided prison with a slap on the wrist and is now set to inherit a fortune from his dead mom’s estate.

Instead of jailing David Norton for his crime, a liberal judge ordered him to donate $25,000 to an organization that promotes “assisted suicide.”

In a cushy plea deal, Norton, 68, pleaded guilty to manslaughter by aiding suicide and tampering with physical evidence after the death of his mother, Mildred Roller.

Norton and his sister, Kim Roller, were accused of conspiring to end the elderly woman’s life.

However, their mother was not terminally ill and had not been declared mentally incompetent.

According to an autopsy reviewed by a grand jury, Mildred Roller died from “asphyxia due to a bag over the head and displacement of oxygen by nitrogen gas.”

Clancy’s Supporters Care More About Circumstances Than Kids– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

In response to the ongoing trial of Lindsay Clancy, the woman who killed her three children in 2023, it seems women across the country are trying to quiet their consciences by swapping out pink pussy hats for pink T-shirts. These sympathizers have also raised more than $1 million for Clancy’s supportive parents. That stunning sum is akin to awarding a Golden Globe to an actress who publicly credits killing her offspring with advancing her career.

Was Clancy pro-abortion? Maybe she was. Maybe she wasn’t. Either way, the more revealing question isn’t what Clancy believed about abortion; it’s what the women rallying around her believe about when it’s morally acceptable to take innocent life. Thus, scarier than the woman in the courtroom, sitting in a wheelchair and staring blankly into space, are the hordes of women who may be finding solace and justification for the intentional ending of innocent human life somewhere else in the life cycle.

Is invoking Clancy’s mental illness to mitigate responsibility for her actions fundamentally different from invoking “health care” to justify abortion because a woman believes giving birth would cause her undue stress or derail her professional life? Abortion supporters can cite “reproductive freedom” all they want. That’s how it starts. The methodical murder of more than 65 million unborn human beings since Roe v. Wade is nothing more than permissible slaughter. But more important than which euphemisms we use for abortion and filicide is the message being sent to women who may come to believe that their overwhelming circumstances justify disposing of the unborn.

Under this moral framework, the prohibition is no longer simply, “It is wrong to intentionally end an innocent human life.” It has become, “It is wrong — unless circumstances make it permissible.” Even research on homicidal violence has identified this moral threshold: Many people condemn homicidal violence in principle, while identifying circumstances where they find it permissible. This concept applies to the Clancy case, where her female supporters appear to argue that even the irreversible decision to strangle three children is defensible based on circumstances.

EXCERPT:

If you’re a socialist running statewide in a swing state Trump won twice, the idea behind going on Fox News is to appeal to voters and con them into not thinking you’re a socialist running statewide. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul el-Sayed decided instead to create fan fiction for subreddits and BlueSky, giving an interview with Jesse Waters in which he defended genital mutilation of minors by comparing it to getting circumcised.

The interview was a train wreck in general. Newsbusters’ Jorge Bonilla, the Ayatollah of Espanola (and owner of CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan), has a full write-up. AES blaming ICE for why there are so many illegals invading America was a curious choice.

But the clip going viral is the genital mutilation one. Which, in a related note, AES also defends Sharia Law.

In another related note, I had a Literature of Africa professor tell me my views of female circumcision (I’m opposed) were “culturally biased.” It was the 90’s, so this would have been Woke 0.1.

Watters asked about el-Sayed’s plans to socialize the entire healthcare industry and put the government in charge of your health (what the streets call “Medicare for All”). Does that include the government paying for minors to get sex change operations? Hell yes it does!

Lindsay Clancy is on trial for strangling her three young children to death in January 2023.

Her defense claims postpartum psychosis left her unable to form criminal intent. Yet the wave of public sympathy focused almost entirely on Clancy’s suffering has drawn sharp criticism from pro-life voices who insist the children’s deaths cannot be secondary to their mother’s mental health crisis.

Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months. On January 24, 2023, while her then-husband was briefly out of their Duxbury home picking up dinner and medicine, she strangled the children with exercise bands in the basement.

She then cut her wrists and neck and jumped from a second-story window in a suicide attempt. Callan died three days later.

Jihadists have kidnapped and slaughtered scores of people in an attack during Friday prayers in central Nigeria.

The exact toll of the attacks, which also hit the village of Binzi in Niger State, was unknown, federal representative Jafaru Mohammed said.

Jibril Ahmad, a civilian who survived the attack, said: ‘Soon after finishing the normal Friday prayer, the armed group of Lakuwara, in their hundreds, wielding guns, knives and machetes, began to attack us.’

‘They slaughtered some of our people, saying we are not practising the true teachings of Islam,’ Ahmad added.

Some are understood to have escaped when another jihadist group, known as Mahmuda, started clashing with the militants.

Former Miss North Carolina sues Miss USA over alleged defamation– www.washingtonexaminer.com

EXCERPT:

Former Miss North Carolina Brittany Boltinhouse is suing Miss USA for defamation, accusing the pageant organization of weaponizing social media against her after she was dethroned over alleged “homophobic views.”

The lawsuit names the Miss USA organization, its Chairman Thom Brodeur, and the operators of the North Carolina pageant as defendants. The case does not challenge Boltinhouse’s dethroning or seek her reinstatement.

Instead, Boltinhouse alleges the defendants made false statements portraying her as racist, homophobic, transphobic, and bigoted, claiming the statements have damaged her reputation.

In the complaint, Boltinhouse acknowledges that old social media posts resurfaced, including six posts from 2017 and 2019 in which she used a racial slur as a teenager.

She also said posts showing her support for President Donald Trump and the late Charlie Kirk were used by the Miss USA organization as part of a campaign against her. Boltinhouse alleged that her conservative Christian and political views, rather than the stated concerns over her social media activity, were the real reason she was dethroned.

EXCERPT:

(LifeSiteNews) — A gay news site published an article praising Pope Leo XIV for having “made room for progressive LGBTQ+ voices.” 

Headlined Pope Leo’s Recent LGBTQ-Friendly Appointments Include Bishop Who Had Drag Queen Speak at Mass, the article draws heavily from a liberal Catholic Substack, Letters from Leo, authored by former Obama staffer Christopher Hale.

The article focuses on the installation of four reportedly pro-homosexual and pro-transgender bishops: James Checchio, appointed by Leo in February to head the Archdiocese of New Orleans; Bishop Ramón Bejarano, chosen in December to lead the Diocese of Monterrey, California; Bishop Christian Würtz, selected in by Leo in July 2025 as the new bishop of Eichstätt in Germany; and Baker, Oregon diocese’s Bishop Thomas Hennen, who at age 47 became the youngest bishop to head a diocese. 

Perhaps the most alarming of the four is Bishop Bejarano. The former San Diego auxiliary bishop famously celebrated an “All are Welcome” LGBT-themed “Pride” Mass – during which a drag queen activist was permitted to speak – as the new bishop of Monterey, California.

HHS Official Slams ‘Wolves in White Coats’ Who Transitioned Kids – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

EXCERPT:

A top Trump administration healthcare official has labeled doctors who push children into gender transitions and then abandon them to the devastating consequences “wolves in white coats.”

On August 22, Adm. Brian Christine, assistant secretary for health, went on NTD News and discussed the new Health and Human Services crackdown on fraudulent insurance coding for “sex-rejecting procedures” on minors. There are millions of dollars in the gender transition industry, which is why quite a few woke doctors and medical professionals are happy to encourage it. But when the kids realize they can never be the opposite sex and want to reverse the so-called treatments, the dishonest doctors simply drop them and move on. The surgeries are irreversible, and so is the regret.

Adm. Christine explained that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s HHS team actually took the time to talk to parents and children who regret the procedures they accepted in pursuit of transgender ideology. Instead of mocking or ignoring detransitioners, the Trump administration is giving them a voice.

“We also heard again and again from these children and their families, is that when they had decided, and and you alluded to this, when they had decided ‘no, I made a mistake. I’ve been led down this path, but …this isn’t right, I want to stop my treatment, and I want to try to detransition and go back.’ They were virtually abandoned by the same wolves in white coats who led them down this pathway, they were abandoned, which, again, is heartbreaking, is heartbreaking to hear.”

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on Monday to public schools to stop encouraging “gender transitions” for confused students or face consequences.

Speaking from the White House Rose Garden during a back-to-school event with U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, the president lamented the “extreme ideologies” such as “transgender insanity” that have taken root in schools in recent years.

“Transgender didn’t work. Students were taught that our heroes are villains. The FBI was used to target patriotic parents at school board meetings. And meanwhile, far too many government-run schools failed at the basics,” he said. “Under the Trump administration, we’re systematically ending every single one of these radical-left betrayals and we’re putting the parents back in charge. They’re the ones that love our children. They’re the ones that should be in charge.”

“Every public school in America is now on notice: That if they tell a child that they are trapped in the wrong body, they are committing child abuse,” he declared.

The Massachusetts woman who used exercise bands to strangle the life out of her three young children has a fan club of sorts.

Thousands of Lindsay Clancy supporters believe the 36-year-old killer is herself a victim.

Hundreds turned out for a rally Thursday at Plymouth Superior Courthouse — most of them women and many in pink shirts — carrying signs with fangirl slogans such as “Believe,” “She Needed Help” and “Peace For Lindsay,” the Associated Press reported.

They have leaned into claims that the “overburdened” mother was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she committed the heinous crimes. She also slit her wrists and neck and jumped out of a second-story window in a suicide attempt that left her paralyzed from the waist down, according to court documents.

“… [Clancy] not receiving the help she needed while going through PPP just reflects how hard it is as a woman to receive proper healthcare. her having suicidal thoughts wasn’t enough to get the help she needed. she KNEW she was in a crazy state of mind but got no support whatsoever,” wrote a commenter on Reddit earlier this month as Clancy’s trial became the talk of the nation.

Meanwhile, a Wisconsin “influencer” has set up a GoFundMe account for Mike and Paula Musgrove, Clancy’s parents, who, according to the page’s creator, “have spent years traveling back and forth, staying in hotels, attending court proceedings and ultimately relocating from Connecticut to Massachusetts so they could remain close to Lindsay.” The page includes an illustration of Clancy (apparently) in a wheelchair, her head buried in her hands, elbows resting on her knees. She is encircled by a host of women holding hands.

Jordan wants to attract more Christian pilgrims for the 2,000-year anniversary in 2030

Jordan is preparing to mark the 2,000-year anniversary of Jesus Christ’s baptism in the Jordan River, with the Muslim nation investing more than $100 million to draw Christian pilgrims to one of the world’s holiest sites.

Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Hassan met with Christian leaders this month and signed agreements to develop the baptism site by building a village for Christian pilgrims and visitors, a museum dedicated to the baptism, a green corridor, and infrastructure upgrades leading to the site. The project is expected to cost $120 million, Vatican media reported.

The year 2030 is widely accepted as the two millennium anniversary of Christ’s baptism by John the Baptist, a moment that marked the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. The ceremony took place at Bethany Beyond the Jordan on the east bank of the Jordan River, which today separates Jordan from the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

At the time of Jesus’ baptism, Bethany Beyond the Jordan was a part of Perea, a Jewish client state of Rome.

You will notice that the data indicates that 2 deaths in 2023-24 were reported late.

The Tasmanian reports refer to reported assisted suicide deaths since not all of the participants are accounted for in the data.

The rate of reported deaths by assisted suicide was 2.1% of all deaths in 2024/25 which was up from 1.2% of all deaths in 2023/24.

Meg Whitfield reported for the ABC News Australia on August 15, 2026 that:

An independent review into Tasmania’s VAD legislation is currently underway to assess if it is still working as intended, and what improvements are needed.

It is being led by three experts — lawyer and former governor Kate Warner, end-of-life law expert Ben White, and palliative care specialist Michael Ashby.

A final report will be handed to the government by November 1.

Comments from the Australian Medical Association President, Meg Creely, provide concerns over the direction of the review. Whitfield reported Creely as stating:

President Meg Creely said that, overwhelmingly, medical practitioners involved with VAD found it “a really rewarding part of their medical career”.

However, she said there was an administrative and financial burden on doctors that needed to be addressed.

“What we hear from our members is that legal access and practical access are not necessarily the same thing,” Dr Creely said.

Creely seems to be suggesting that doctors who participate in killing their patients often find the act “rewarding” but they want to be paid more.

Canada has never reviewed their euthanasia law.

When Canada legalized euthanasia in 2016, the original law (Bill C-14) required that the law be reviewed beginning in June 2020. That review never happened.

Instead Canada expanded the euthanasia law in March 2021 when it passed Bill C-7. Bill C-7 allowed people who without a terminally condition to be killed, it removed the 10-day waiting period when a person has a terminal condition, it allowed a doctor to kill an incompetent person, when that person was previously approved for euthanasia, and it allowed euthanasia for mental illness alone, which is currently scheduled to go into effect in March 2027.

After passing Bill C-7, the Canadian government established a euthanasia committee composed of 10 members of parliament and 5 Senators. The AMAD committee did not review the law but rather it examines further expansions of the law.

On July 1, 2026, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition launched a campaign demanding a complete review of Canada’s euthanasia (MAiD) law.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Department of Education issued guidance Tuesday urging schools to neither favor nor disfavor students based on race when it comes to discipline, reversing Obama-era guidelines.

The department also announced new civil rights investigations into two school districts that allegedly used race-based disciplinary policies.

“For too long, the Left’s pursuit of ‘equity’ has perversely required schools to discipline students differently, based on their race; it has prevented teachers from keeping their classrooms safe, put students in harm’s way, and severely compromised student learning opportunities,” Kimberly Richey, assistant secretary for civil rights, said in a statement first provided to the Daily Signal.

“Today’s guidance clarifies Title VI’s legal requirements and ends these harmful practices,” Richey added. “[The Office for Civil Rights] will vigorously enforce Title VI to ensure that schools’ disciplinary systems are neutral and fair, and that they operate in a nondiscriminatory manner.”

SIENA, Italy (LifeSiteNews) — A centuries-old Marian tradition at the heart of Siena’s Palio horse race has become the center of controversy after the city’s official devotional banner depicted the Virgin Mary with “androgynous” features.

The local archdiocese came out in defense of the image against widespread criticism among the faithful.

On August 10, the Municipality of Siena unveiled the painted silk banner, or “Drappelone,” of the Virgin Mary to be awarded to the winning district, or “contrada,” of the August race. Commissioned by the city and created by Romanian artist Teodora Axente, the banner shows the city and its districts in its lower section, topped by a large image of the Virgin Mary with markedly masculine features.

A few days later, on August 14, the banner was taken to Siena Cathedral to be blessed by the archbishop ahead of the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is the patron of the city of Siena.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey held a signing ceremony with herself and abortion-supporting women to celebrate the signing of a bill making it legal to murder the unborn up to birth. A law already existed that allowed “late-term abortions” to protect the life of the mother.

Now, a woman or girl need not give any reason to demand doctors murder her unborn child, even if it’s on the day of the child’s scheduled delivery. In the 2024 election, Democrats claimed no one was suggesting legalizing abortions up to birth. Now, 10 states have passed laws allowing abortion up to birth. Massachusetts became the 10th state.

Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Up to Birth; ‘The Progressive Death Cult Takes Over’
The Bay State joins a list of states with a similarly dark approach to innocent human life. Newsweek: Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed legislation on Monday that gives doctors the final say on whether an abortion should be allowed late in pregnancy, making it the 10th state to allow the procedure at any point in pregnancy (Newsweek).

I am deeply ashamed for my country.

The states that allow abortion are falling below replacement rates for their populations. The 10 states that allow abortion up to birth are doing the worse, with Vermont being the worst of the worst. They have a total fertility rate of 1.27. The TFR needs to be above 2 to meet replacement requirements.

… The numbers show a fairly uniform correlation between these permissive legal regimes and collapsing birth rates. It’s only logical. Massachusetts’s total fertility rate (TFR) in 2024 was 1.38, more than 33% below replacement-level fertility, with only four states experiencing lower fertility. Of the 10 states with “open seasons” on the unborn, seven are below the current national TFR of 1.62 children per woman. The 10 states have fertility rates between 1.27 (Vermont) and 1.80 (Alaska). None is at replacement level, and all have declined further over the last six years. Overall, the situation offers a bleak picture. It is not that demographers, politicians, and economists are the primary story, philosophizing in their studies about gross national product and “golden eras” going unrealized, it is the personal stories of families not formed and babies never born. Surveys say that the typical woman would like to bear 2.4 children in her lifetime. That is clearly not happening.

WNBA Suddenly Needs Time to Evaluate Men Competing, But the League Wasn’t Confused in This Resurfaced Post– www.westernjournal.com

EXCERPT:

As the WNBA tries to fathom what the “W” in their own name stands for, its own past statements on social media are revealing the entity’s biases against their own athletes.

The league was dropped into the middle of the debate over whether men should take away athletic opportunities for women when Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham said it was unfair for males to compete against females. A counter-attack erupted within the league as coaches and players fired back by spewing the liberal orthodoxy that mediocre transgender athletes need a place to win awards.

The WNBA’s 2026 collective bargaining agreement says, “only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA.”

But there is no definition of women in the policy, and the issue of men playing in the WNBA by saying they identify as female is not discussed.

The WNBA was not allowed to simply let the issue fade after two former male NBA players said they want to be selected in the 2027 draft given the lack of any barriers in the league’s rules.

Buffeted by the winds of controversy, the league sought refuge in the traditional remedies of meetings, task forces, and PR statements.

A Brazilian bishop has attacked consecration to St. Michael the Archangel while suggesting that the devil is “rather imaginary.”

“Are there theological justifications for Consecration to Saint Michael? Consecration is to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,” wrote Bishop Vicente Ferreira on X last week. “Isn’t the devil we fight against rather imaginary?” he added.

“The greater exorcism should be: of homophobia, of femicide, of racism, of crimes against indigenous peoples. Of that legion of evils,” he concluded, in a statement originally written in Portuguese.

The tweet appears to be aimed at another Brazilian bishop. On the same day as Ferreira’s statement, the archbishop of Montes Claros, José Carlos Campos, consecrated his archdiocese to St Michael.

Ferreira was slammed for his denigration of devotion to St. Michael, who is invoked for spiritual defense against the devil by Catholics because he was given power by God to cast the devil and his followers from Heaven.

“What is your religion? You should convert to Catholicism,” wrote one X user. “At your age, worrying about these woke idiocies isn’t going to get you to heaven. You should be concerned with saving your soul.”

EXCERPT:

A Colorado school board is proving once again that the left truly relishes in talking to young children about sex.

In a letter from the Alliance Defending Freedom to the Roaring Fork Schools Board of Education, Director Katherine L. Anderson of the Center for Parental Rights noted some truly disturbing and graphic imagery that children are seeing as part of the 3Rs curriculum, a comprehensive program to teach about sexuality.

The Rs in question refer to “Rights, Respect, Responsibility” according to the website of its creator, Advocates for Youth. The curriculum “seeks to address both the functional knowledge related to sexuality and the specific skills necessary to adopt healthy behaviors. Rights, Respect, Responsibility reflects the tenets of social learning theory, social cognitive theory and the social ecological model of prevention.”

Anderson specified what this looks like in practice. “In kindergarten, children learn to identify ‘at least three body parts of the female, namely the nipples, vulva and anus,’ along with identifying the “nipples, penis and anus” for the male anatomy. But this explicit language — foisted on young children without parental consent — is not all. The accompanying pictures are worth a thousand words.

That same kindergarten lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation called ‘Understanding Our Bodies.’”
