A pastor in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains was executed extrajudicially along with six other people after members of an armed faction arrested him at his church residence in the town of Heban.
The Rev. Adil Idris Jangoul, of the Sudanese Episcopal Church, was detained on July 23 inside the church compound in Heban’s Erie neighborhood, where he lived, the religious freedom advocacy group Christian Solidarity Worldwide reported this week.
Members of the Sudanese People’s Liberation Movement-North, or SPLM/N, an armed group in the region, seized his money and arrested him without incident.
However, his body was later found on a road alongside those of six other people, all from the Otoro ethnic group. All seven had been killed in extrajudicial executions.
A related attack struck Heban the same day. Members of the Otoro ethnic group, the same community whose members had been killed alongside Jangoul, carried out the raid, killing at least 10 people and seizing more than 20 hostages, among them children, CSW said.
One hostage was the Rev. Yakoub Brahim Tia. He once served as general secretary of the Sudanese Church of Christ and belongs to the Shawaya ethnic group. Six of his relatives were also seized.
All the hostages were released unharmed on July 28, after ministers from several ethnic communities appealed for their freedom.

A recent series of attacks on Christians prompted attention from believers around the world, as well as a response from the U.S. State Department.
Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek, a Muslim who became a Christian, has especially provoked concern around the world due to his imprisonment, per Fox News.
Raymond Ibrahim, a historian who writes frequently on the Islamic world, noted that Abdelrazek “endured years of harassment, detention, and abuse” after becoming a Christian in 2016.
“On April 13, prosecutors referred him to a terrorism court, while his lawyers were denied access to the case file,” Ibrahim wrote.
“He remains imprisoned, with advocates reporting torture, physical abuse, denial of adequate medical care, and repeated postponements of his trial.”
The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights meanwhile highlighted reports of an Islamic mob besieging a church in Upper Egypt.
The mob, which was reportedly throwing stones, injured Christians and damaged a priest’s car.
Rev. Matta Roushdy, a priest at the Virgin Mary and St. Abanoub Coptic Orthodox Church, was attacked days later.
Open Doors said of the incident that “these types of attacks are usually committed by members of radical Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Some migrants hate America on arrival
Story by Simon Hankinson, Washington Examiner
Some migrants hate America on arrival
In 1932, the French newspaper La Liberte (rather ungratefully) wrote that “Americans are the only race which passed directly from barbarism to decadence without knowing civilization.”
Today, a substantial subset of immigrants passes from hating America abroad to hating it from within, without any intervening period of loving this great country. That’s bad news.
America’s early colonists, settlers, and immigrants had escaped penury, tyranny, and persecution back home and were grateful to be here. But there is a cohort in the current generation of immigrants who arrive loathing our capitalist democracy and vowing to destroy it.
Actor Robert DeNiro recently said he can’t love America when Trump is president. Really? I never stopped loving America, even when Joe Biden was allowing millions of illegal immigrants to enter our country, suppressing free speech, and governing incompetently.
I came here in the bicentennial year of 1976. The whole country was celebrating and recovering national pride after a decade of domestic division and failure in Vietnam. Notably, the all-time lowest percentage of foreign-born Americans was in 1970, at 4.7%. Today, it’s over 15%.
Some young people think their country is the source of all evil and should be destroyed. Capitalism, the engine of prosperity that built prosperity unimaginable to our founders, is suspect to them. They envy wealth creators rather than wanting to emulate them.
That some of our own kids are Gaza-gazing socialists is sad but not surprising, given the leftist dominance of teachers from kindergarten to college. What’s more aggravating is the people who arrive here already trashing us and trying to change us into the very thing they left to escape.
A few of these America-lasters are from Europe. Supercilious English talk-show host John Oliver comes to mind. His rant about New College Florida, an institution nearly destroyed by woke ideologues but resurrected under Gov. Ron DeSantis, sums up his leftist worldview.

HIV-positive pastor shocks community, charged with abuse of 14-year-old boy: 'Jesus don't like that'

Polk County Florida Sheriff Grady Judd details the charges against Timothy Chaneyfield, a pastor accused of sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy, during a press conference on Aug. 4, 2026. | YouTube/Polk Sheriff
An HIV-positive Florida pastor is accused of sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy he met on a dating app, after allegedly going online to target children. The case has left residents shocked and horrified.
Timothy Chaneyfield, 42, the pastor at St. James United American Free Will Baptist Church in Winter Haven, is facing several charges and was transferred to the Polk County Jail, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said during a press conference Tuesday. He is being held on a bond of over $350,000.
Chaneyfield faces the following charges: three counts of lewd battery of a minor, three counts of interfering with custody of a minor, one count of unlawful use of a two-way communication device, three counts of traveling to meet a minor, four counts of an HIV-infected person having sex without informing a partner, one count of possession of cannabis, and five counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Judd said investigators spoke with members of the St. James church, who were “shocked” and said, “they had absolutely no idea their pastor was like that.” The investigation revealed that Chaneyfield had gone online searching for children and met the 14-year-old boy through a dating app.
According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office (PCSO), the investigation began on July 28 after a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tip came from Instagram, where Chaneyfield and the victim continued chatting after meeting on the dating app.
“And then Timothy Chaneyfield picked him up in front of his neighborhood on three different occasions,” Judd said. “And on those three different occasions, he wasn't preaching, but he was messing around.”
Investigators said Chaneyfield picked up the victim on three consecutive days at the entrance to his subdivision, drove him to his house in Winter Haven and sexually abused him.
The pastor allegedly told the victim during a phone call that he wanted to continue having sex with him. He also told the boy he had to travel to Baltimore; investigators later learned he was presiding over a funeral there.

Introduction
In the Book of Revelation we have seven Churches. Most Bible scholars agree that these churches represent God’s Church as it progresses historically through time. The historical periods are generally divided thus:
1. Ephesus – the Early Church;
2. Smyrna – the church persecuted by the Roman Empire;
3. Pergamos – the precursor to the Roman Catholic Church;
4. Thyatira – the Roman Catholic Church;
5. Sardis – The Protestant Churches;
6 Philadelphia – Between Sardis and Laodicea
7. Laodicea – the Last Church
The first three churches no longer physically exist on earth; they have either ceased to exist or the people have been absorbed into other institutional entities. But the fourth church, the Roman Catholic Church, exists now and will continue to exist until the end of Time. The same applies to the fifth church – the Protestant Churches, they exist now and they will continue to exist until the end of time. And the Last Church, because it is the last church, exists now and continues until the end of Time. This means that the sixth church, Philadelphia exists along side three other Churches that exist now and continue until the end of time. Which means that the Philadelphians exist contemporaneously with the last four churches. So, can we identify the Philadelphian Church? And can we identify Laodicea?
The Philadelphian Church
There are several churches that claim the title Philadelphia – but the first to claim the honour were the pioneers of the Advent Movement.
All Advent believers know perfectly well that the Philadelphia Church, the church of brotherly love, was made up of those who came out of Sardis or the nominal church, in 1844, under the cry, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen.’ Milton Wilcox, The Seven Churches and the Seven Seals, (Pacific Press, 1904). p. 9.
Milton Wilcox was addressing Adventists in the year 1904, he wrote “All Adventists know perfectly well that the Philadelphia CHuch was made up of those who left Sardis and joined the Advent Movement by the year 1844.However that is not the case today -most Adventists believe they are the Laodicean Church. But all those who lived the years prior to 1844, agreed with Milton Wilcox, not only that they were the Philadelphia Church, but that they were fulfilling the prophecy of the Philadelphia Church:
…the Philadelphia Church is the true church of the last days… James White, Review and Herald, May 9, 1854.
In mercy He reached forth his hand and enabled the Advent people in 1844 to break the cords of sectarianism that bound them, that they, (the Philadelphia Church) might be disciplined and guided into the kingdom by the order and pure doctrines of the gospel. James white, RH Dec. 6, 1853. (Brackets are those of James White).
The true church are to be found with those that… entered into the Philadelphia Church in the fall of 1844 and became a church at that time… Joseph Bates, RH Aug 19, 1851.
While standing in that waiting position (spring 1844), the light of the second angels message flashed upon us; and a voice came like a mighty rushing wind, “Come out of her my people.” No one knew who raised the cry first; but as we heard from our brethren north, south, east and west, all had the same experience, and immediately left their respective churches. Yes, and we all left our creeds, or what had been before our differences. Right there we formed the Philadelphian state of the church – a church of brotherly love. George Washington Morse. RH March 7, 1899.

FBI Secretly Opened Probe Alleging Trump Fired Comey Because He Was a Russian Asset, Declassified Memos Show
The White House
August 5, 2026
By John Solomon
The FBI opened a criminal probe specifically targeting Donald Trump in May 2017, alleging the newly elected president may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then-Director James Comey even though the bureau’s own evidence overwhelmingly showed at the time there was no collusion with the Kremlin.
Internal FBI memos newly declassified by the White House show the investigation – codenamed Oxferd Comma – was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey’s May 9, 2017 firing and was predicated on an allegation that previously released records show the bureau’s own agents had mostly dismissed.
“The FBI is opening a full investigation based on an articulable factual basis that reasonably indicates that President Donald J. Trump may be or has been, wittingly or unwittingly, involved in activities for or on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation which may constitute violations of federal criminal law or threats to the national security of the United States,” the electronic communication opening the probe on May 16, 2017 stated.
“The goal of the investigation is to determine if President Trump is or was directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation in a manner constituting a threat to the national security of the United States and/or a violation of federal criminal statutes,” it added. “In addition, this investigation will also seek to determine whether President Trump and others yet to be named obstructed and/or conspiracy to obstruct any associated FBI investigation.”
OXFERD COMMA – Opening EC
The memo, written by the FBI’s counterintelligence division and approved by then-FBI General Counsel James Baker and then-Assistant Director for Counterintelligence William Priestap, made clear the concerns about Russian influence and obstruction included Comey’s firing, in part because of the public explanations Trump gave for it.
“This alternative explanation can be reasonably read to imply that the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation was a factor in President Trump’s decision to terminate Comey,” the memo stated.
Both the Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein were advised that the probe had been launched, the memos show.

Deadly Fungus Spreading in U.S.

A petri dish holding the yeast Candida Auris.
Cases of a drug-resistant and potentially deadly fungal infection are spreading in the U.S., according to federal data.
Over 3,400 infections caused by Candida auris have been documented in 2026 across 27 states, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the CDC, “cases continue to rise each year, but the rate of increase has slowed down since 2022.”
What Is Candida Auris?
Candida auris is a drug-resistant fungus that can cause potentially life-threatening illness.
“Resistant infections can be difficult, and sometimes impossible, to treat,” according to the CDC.
Candida auris, which is a type of yeast, spreads easily in healthcare facilities like hospitals and mostly affects people who are already very sick. It can spread from person to person or through contaminated medical equipment.
“Most patients who become sick with C. auris were already very sick,” according to the CDC. “When patients with C. auris die, it is hard to know how much C. auris contributed to their death compared to other pre-existing illnesses.”
People who do not have risk factors usually don’t get sick or can recover easily on their own.
It was first found in 2009 in Japan and has since been documented in dozens of countries. It was first documented in the U.S. in 2016.
The Stunning Collapse of the Climate Scam, Documented

July 19, 2026
For those who have been paying attention, the stunning collapse of the climate scam over the past year has been something to behold.
First there was the COP Flop.
Then the US withdrew from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Then Judith Curry retired her blog, opining that “It’s time to declare victory against climate stupidity and move on.”
Then The Guardian published an article lamenting that less than 5% of UK media outlets have used the recent European heat wave as an excuse to promote Net Zero propaganda.
And now even The New York Times is waving the white flag on the climate Armageddon story...well, kind of.
So, what on earth is happening? How did we go from a world where the climate apocalypse was touted as an existential threat to life on earth and trumpeted on the news every single day to a world where climate change isn’t even on the radar anymore?
Let’s find out.
Un-Settled Science: The death of RCP 8.5
Students of the climate scam will know by now the laundry list of scientific frauds, fallacies and fudgery that have undergirded the supposedly “settled science” of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming.

Florida’s no-children-at-drag shows law upheld by federal appeals court
By Christine Sexton-August 4, 2026 5:20 pm

A federal appeals court has upheld a Florida law banning children from attending drag shows, a measure put in place with the support of Gov. Ron DeSantis.
In an 8-5 opinion handed down Tuesday, the majority ruled the law was constitutional, while those on the dissenting side criticized the measure as overreach.
“The act is a straight forward regulation of obscenity,” wrote Judge Andrew Brasher, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, on behalf of the majority. “Preventing children from attending adult live performances obscene for them is rationally related to Florida’s interest in safeguarding the well-being of minors.”
DeSantis posted on X that “this shouldn’t even be controversial, yet our law protecting kids required to fend off lawsuits and win a case before a divided appellate court.”
The Legislature in 2023 passed SB 1438, the “Protection of Children Act.”
The law threatens fines, loss of operating licenses, and criminal penalties against any venues that expose any “child” to “lewd” performances, even if the child has parental consent.
38 experts say ‘climate alarmism’ has become a profit-driven religion
Tom Harris Thu Jul 9
Religion has been a force throughout history that has helped societies flourish and given people meaning, but it has also been a vehicle for fundamentalism and intolerance. A religion can be characterized by a common set of beliefs about the truth of existence, ritual practices, moral codes, and a community of those who share the same beliefs. From this standpoint, climate alarmism has become nothing short of a religion, one that has been taking over societies around the world.
The newly released book, Canary in a Climate World: Climate Realism vs. the Net Zero Myth, is an eye-opening compilation of essays from 38 experts about the science of climate change, the fallacies of Net Zero, and the story we are not being told by the government and media.
Margaret Anna Alice, a writer focusing on propaganda and psychology, writes in her Canaries essay about how she lost her “religion” of climate alarmism, which for her had been an “inviolable belief.” She writes that “In this religion, gods such as the United Nations carve out the Ten Commandments in the form of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, and the SDG7 Global Roadmap for achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.”
Additionally, “sermons” cite the “sacred texts” of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), shaming everyday citizens into believing that they are contributing to a devastating environmental catastrophe. It is only by aligning themselves with the religion of climate alarmism that they will be redeemed from their sins. Namely, by giving up their standards of living and putting their hard-earned money toward expensive projects to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) or subsidize intermittent and expensive renewable power such as wind and solar.
Just like the church in Medieval Europe, the climate doctrine is widespread and encroaches into our daily lives. Yet data corruption abounds at the IPCC and other official institutions, and for decades, few scientists have had the courage to speak out against it with their livelihoods on the line. These “heretics” are ostracized, lose their jobs, or are refused funding. But the tide is shifting. With the serious consequences of climate policies being enacted, now is the time to reveal that the climate scare is based on corruption and flawed ideology. Governments will spend trillions of dollars and drive their citizens into poverty if we continue down the route to Net Zero. IPCC contributor Mike Hulme admitted that “The debate around climate change is fundamentally about power and politics rather than the environment.” And the scientists and experts writing in Canary in a Climate World: Climate Realism vs. the Net Zero Myth are also disseminating crucial information to help us better understand the climate and the policies that have stifled our society’s growth for decades.
Oppressed Christians in Algeria go underground
By Morning Star News Aug 4, 2026
Sealing of Tafath church in Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria on Oct. 16, 2019. Morning-Star News
Following Algeria’s closure of nearly all evangelical churches in waves of repression that began in 2017, Christians have been forced underground in what they describe as an internal exile, sources said.
Christians in the 99-percent Muslim country gather discreetly in homes, garages or under olive trees, isolating many who are deprived of regular spiritual guidance. Some turn to the internet and social media, where heresies proliferate, thus fostering internal divisions, the spread of false teaching and the rise of conflicts.
Despite such challenges, some Christians express gratitude to God, viewing this period as a spiritual cleansing to build stronger and more mature churches.
“Believers maintain fraternal bonds within small family groups,” said one Christian community leader. “We celebrate Holy Communion and baptisms privately, and dedicate significant resources to charitable aid, in accordance with biblical commandments.”
One church leader continues to serve by visiting families in various villages to offer moral and spiritual support. Like all pastors mentioned in this story, his name cannot be published for security reasons.
“The situation is undeniably difficult because we are deprived of fellowship,” he said. “But God’s work must not stop. We desperately lack Bibles and Christian books, as customs officials systematically confiscate them even when friends bring them from the West.”
Along with blocked book imports, police searches and confiscated equipment, Christians have increasingly been shut out of regular fellowship since authorities effectively left the evangelical umbrella group, the Protestant Church of Algeria (EPA), without legal status. When the EPA re-applied for legal status in August 2014 and July 2015 following implementation of the 2012 Law on Associations No. 12-06, authorities withheld mandatory registration receipts, leaving the umbrella group in a legal limbo that provided the pretext for forced closures of most affiliated churches from 2017 to 2019.
Since Law 12-06 blocks the official registration of the EPA, security forces have sealed shut 46 of the group’s affiliated 47 churches, leaving only a church headquarters in Algiers operational thanks to the presence there of some foreigners and diplomats.
