How the U.S. Manufactured “Christian Genocide” Claims to Attack Nigeria

How the U.S. Manufactured “Christian Genocide” Claims to Attack Nigeria

In late November 2025, President Donald Trump threatened Nigeria with a U.S. military intervention, posting on Truth Social that he would consider going “guns-a-blazing” into “that now disgraced country” if “the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians.” The post immediately went viral in the United States conservative media space, reinforcing a narrative about “Christian genocide” that has circulated for several years. However, just weeks after that, Nigerian National Security Advisor Nuhu Ribadu sent out a post that sharply contrasted Trump’s inflammatory one, welcoming top U.S. officials, not as saviors or the leaders of the international community, but as partners in a “mature, based-on-trust relationship” with Nigeria. This is a clear example of the two extremes in how to address the complex issue of Nigeria’s growing instability. One extreme is to manufacture a crisis that requires an international response, while the other extreme is to respect Nigeria’s right to self-governance.

Kristi Noem Blames Stephen Miller for Alex Pretti Smear Campaign

Kristi Noem Blames Stephen Miller for Alex Pretti Smear Campaign

The Department of Homeland appears to have found a new scapegoat on behalf of federal agents who brutally killed a U.S. citizen in broad daylight: White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has reportedly started blaming Miller for her decision to label Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by federal immigration agents in Minnesota over the weekend, as a “domestic terrorist.” Although Noem’s Cabinet position means she outranks Miller, the ghoulish presidential adviser is an architect of the Trump administration’s lethal immigration policy, and his power extends over DHS functions.In a meeting with Donald Trump Monday—which notably excluded Miller—Noem made sure to emphasize that in the aftermath of the shooting, she’d been taking her directions from Miller and the president, a source told Axios. “Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen,” Noem told a person who relayed her remarks to Axios.Some in the White House are blaming Customs and Border Protection for furnishing Trump administration officials with an incident report offering scant details, leading them to believe Pretti had “brandished” a weapon. Once Miller heard that a gun had been involved, he immediately started to formulate a narrative in which Pretti intended to massacre federal agents, one source told Axios. Minutes after DHS published a statement Saturday claiming Pretti was an “armed suspect” who “violently resisted” federal officers’ attempts to disarm him, Miller posted the baseless claim that Pretti was a “would-be assassin” who’d attempted to murder federal law enforcement officers. Noem then repeated this language in her press conference later that day. Footage of the arrest indicated that federal agents were not aware that Pretti was armed when they started beating him and that Pretti was already disarmed with his arms pinned above his head when he was shot at least 10 times. It seems that Miller may be hoping to backtrack on his callous lies, and he has suddenly changed his story on Alex Pretti’s killing after Trump’s inner circle began to turn on him.

Republicans Hit New Low, Blame Ilhan Omar for Town Hall Attack

Republicans Hit New Low, Blame Ilhan Omar for Town Hall Attack

The MAGA movement—and even some sitting Republican congressmen—are blaming progressive Somali Representative Ilhan Omar for the spray attack she experienced at a town hall on Tuesday night.Representative Randy Fine clearly stated it was Omar’s fault, even when prodded to say otherwise.“Obviously we often disagree with her politics, but this is not acceptable at any level,” a NewsMax host said while asking for Fine’s reaction, expressing a basic level of empathy that MAGA seems unable to access. “Look, I want Ilhan Omar to be deported and denaturalized, but I don’t want her to be attacked or hurt,” Fine said, mispronouncing her first name as “Elon.” “But I also blame Ilhan Omar for what happened.”Rep. Randy Fine on Ilhan Omar getting attacked: "I blame Ilhan Omar for what happened" pic.twitter.com/jnSYitTLq4— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 28, 2026GOP Representative Ron Johnson went on a nonsensical rant about what would happen if the attacker was an undocumented immigrant (he wasn’t).“Let’s talk about how crazy this is. Had that been a Republican member of Congress, had that been an illegal immigrant spraying something at a Republican member of Congress—in Minneapolis what would probably happen is they would release that illegal immigrant, and then frustrate ICE’s attempt to apprehend and deport that individual,” Johnson said, rambling on about some hypothetical scenario rather than acknowledging that his colleague was doing the same job he’s supposed to do: talking to constituents.Ron Johnson on Ilhan Omar getting attacked: "Let's talk about how crazy this is.

We want people that are criminals who came to this country illegally, we want them out of the country. Democrats … created this mess. Now they’re doing everything they can to frustrate DHS, ICE, Customs and Border Patrol, in their effort to clean up the Democrat-created mess,” he continued.These claims are based entirely on speculation and preexisting racist hatred for Omar fomented by Trump, who on Tuesday evening suggested that Omar “probably had herself sprayed.” MAGA quickly followed suit.“Nobody cares about your staged victim propaganda. Please go back to Somalia,” MAGA sycophant Laura Loomer wrote, in response to Omar announcing that she was OK after the attack. “We are getting really tired of people like you taking up space in our country.”All of these comments come after President Trump himself gave them their messaging, claiming that Omar sprayed herself without even watching the video.“No. I don’t think about her. I think she’s a fraud. I really don’t think about that. She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her,” the president told ABC’s Rachel Scott on Tuesday. “I haven’t seen [the video]. No, no. I hope I don’t have to bother.”NEW -- Rep. Ilhan Omar was just charged by a man at a town hall event in Minneapolis. Crowd says he "sprayed her" with something. You can hear Omar demand to continue the town hall -- and she's back to speaking now from the podium. pic.twitter.com/4OpSWHo0Z9— Jay O'Brien (@jayobtv) January 28, 2026

FBI Raids Georgia Election Office as Trump Expands Attack on Democracy

FBI Raids Georgia Election Office as Trump Expands Attack on Democracy

The FBI is carrying out a search warrant at an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, related to the 2020 election. The search is taking place at the Fulton County Elections Hub & Operations Center, the FBI said Wednesday. A spokesperson in the Atlanta office said the bureau was conducting “court-ordered activity” at the election office, without providing additional details.The building has served as storage space for election equipment, as well as office space for multiple Fulton County agencies, since it opened in 2023. Atlanta TV station WSB-TV reports that the FBI is seeking to take custody of Fulton County election ballots from the 2020 election.The Justice Department sued the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections last month, claiming that the office hadn’t complied with a subpoena demanding “used and void ballots, stubs of all ballots, signature envelopes, and corresponding envelope digital files from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County.”Trump and his supporters continue to claim that he won the 2020 presidential election and that it was stolen from him, alleging widespread fraud in places like Georgia. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis pursued a criminal investigation against Trump and 18 allies over the attempt to overthrow election results in her state, but she was disqualified from the case in 2024 over conflict of interest concerns, and the case was dismissed last year. This story has been updated.
