John Thune is determined to bring Democrats into power for decades to come.

He hates MAGA voters so much that he will not pass the Save America Act.

Thune is a traitor.

In yet another blatant betrayal of President Donald Trump and the America First agenda, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has once again shown his true RINO colors by flatly refusing to make any changes to Senate rules that would allow the critical SAVE America Act to pass.

This comes as Trump ramps up pressure on the GOP establishment to secure our elections before the midterms, but Thune is more interested in protecting the swamp than fighting for the American people.

“Yeah, that’s not going to happen,” Thune said on Monday when pressed by ABC News about altering the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to advance legislation.

This stonewalling directly undermines Trump’s urgent call to pass the SAVE America Act, which would crack down on voter fraud and ensure only American citizens vote in our elections.

“The president clearly is very interested in getting the SAVE America bill up and voted on, although he wants a modified version of it, and so we’ll do our best to do that,” Thune said, paying lip service to Trump’s demands while admitting he can’t – or won’t – guarantee results.

“But the one thing I’ve said all along is, and I’ve told him and others, that I can’t guarantee an outcome. I can’t guarantee a result. If the result is only achieved by nuking the legislative filibuster, we don’t have the votes to do that and so that’s not a — that’s just not a realistic option.”

This spineless stance follows Trump’s explosive Sunday post on his social media platform, where he threatened to veto all legislation until the SAVE America Act lands on his desk.

“Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS. It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE.

“I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!!”

Trump even floated the idea of a “talking filibuster” to bypass the current rules.

But Thune poured cold water on that too, warning that without rule changes, it could turn into a “monthslong” ordeal wasting precious Senate time, according to ABC News.

“Our time in the Senate is a finite resource and it’s something that we need to use wisely and well to get as much done as we can,” Thune lectured, as if protecting our democracy from fraud isn’t the top priority.

Last month, Thune admitted that his colleagues from the RINO club are “not unified” on using the talking filibuster to force a vote on the SAVE Act.

This isn’t Thune’s first rodeo in backstabbing Trump. Senate Majority Leader John Thune unveiled a procedural scheme to block President Donald Trump from making any critical appointments during the August recess, effectively aiding the Democrats’ obstructionist agenda.

Under the U.S. Constitution, the president can make “recess appointments,” temporary appointments to federal positions, if the Senate is in recess and not conducting business. These appointments don’t require immediate Senate confirmation and can last until the end of the next session of Congress.

But there’s a loophole: if the Senate holds pro forma sessions, very short, symbolic meetings where no actual business is conducted, then technically, the Senate is still in session. That means the president cannot legally make recess appointments during that time.

President Donald Trump is sounding the alarm on Virginia’s radical Democrat scheme to hijack congressional redistricting and steal seats from Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms.

During a tele-rally alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump addressed voters across the Commonwealth just hours before polls opened, framing the referendum as a defining national moment with massive consequences for the future of Congress.

Virginia Scope reported:

First, during a radio interview with John Fredericks, Trump railed against Democrats and Gov. Abigail Spanberger. “It’s terrible,” the president said of the redistricting effort. “It is true, John, nobody’s ever seen anything like it. It’s so unfair. They even say it’s unfair.”

The president, who started redistricting efforts by calling on conservative states to redraw boundaries to help Republicans in Congress, said Democrats will “change things at the federal level” if they win more seats.

Virginia Democrats hope to win the referendum and then enact a U.S. House map that makes it much easier for them to win 10 of the 11 congressional districts.

Currently, Virginia has six Democrats and five Republicans in the House.

Later in the night on Monday, Trump participated in a tele-rally with the Speaker of the U.S. House, Mike Johnson.

“Tomorrow, your commonwealth has an incredible and really an important election in every sense of the word that will have major consequences for our entire country this November,” Trump said. “This is really a country election. The whole country is watching.”

The Gateway Pundit has been warning about this exact Democrat power grab for months.

Back in February, we reported how newly-installed radical Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger signed off on the controversial constitutional amendment that would suspend Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting commission and hand the keys to the Democrat-controlled General Assembly to redraw the congressional map mid-decade.

Virginia voters head to the polls TODAY on this special election referendum that could flip the state’s congressional delegation from a competitive 6-5 Democrat edge into a rigged 10-1 bloodbath.

Less than two weeks before Christmas last year, a 15-year-old girl, Endurance Sabon, had her hand cut off after her family rejected a forced marriage proposal by Islamist Fulani herdsmen in Kaduna State, Nigeria.

The attack occurred while she, her mother, and relatives were farming. According to the family, the attackers lived nearby and were known to them. They ambushed the group at approximately 6:30 p.m. after trailing them through the bush from the farm. The men shone a torchlight to identify Endurance, then dragged her into the forest, where they cut off her hand.

The International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Nigeria formally condemned the attack, calling it a violation of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution, the Child Rights Act, the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Nigeria’s Middle Belt, including Plateau and Kaduna states, forms the fault line between the predominantly Muslim north and predominantly Christian south. Violence in this region is largely driven by Fulani militant groups and herdsmen pushing into Christian farming communities along this religious and ethnic boundary, creating a sustained frontier conflict over land and resources.

The motivations behind these attacks are a mix of ethnic, economic, and territorial disputes, with an Islamist dimension that varies by incident. In some cases, these groups are armed by or coordinated with jihadist networks. Written evidence submitted by Open Doors UK & Ireland to the UK Parliament documents links between jihadist networks and local militias, including the supply of weapons and the spread of radical ideology.

Plateau State has become one of the deadliest places in the world for Christians. According to the Open Doors World Watch List, 546 Christians were killed in Plateau State in the most recent reporting year, compared with 48 Muslims.

The violence has continued into 2026. On Palm Sunday 2026, gunmen stormed the Ungwan Rukuba community, in Jos, Plateau State around 8 p.m., killing at least 27–30 residents, with the Christian Association of Nigeria noting the attackers wore uniforms resembling those of Nigerian security forces. Between April 3 and 11, 2026, Fulani terrorists killed eight more Christians across Riyom and Barkin Ladi counties.

In a separate incident in far-off Borno State, fighters of Jama’atu Ahlis-Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad (JAS) attacked the Ngoshe community in Gwoza Local Government Area on March 4, 2026.

Borno State is the historical heartland of Boko Haram, which was founded in Maiduguri in the early 2000s. JAS is the original Boko Haram faction and a rival to the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) splinter group.

They overran a military base, the 82 Division Task Force Battalion under the 26 Brigade. The attackers burned armored tanks and vehicles and seized ammunition. They then advanced on an IDP camp in the community.

In early April, JAS released a proof-of-life video produced at the request of the Borno South Youth Alliance, which acted as a mediator. The video showed 416 captives, mostly women and children, surrounded by armed fighters.

On April 19, Boko Haram issued a 72-hour ultimatum demanding ₦5 billion (about $3.1 million USD) for the captives’ release, warning they would be “distributed to different locations” if demands were not met.

Unlike the communal anti-Christian violence in Kaduna and Plateau states, the Ngoshe attack reflects a distinct pattern. JAS is a jihadist insurgency targeting the Nigerian state itself, its security forces, and civilian communities that cooperate with government authority. Its violence is ideologically driven by the goal of establishing an Islamic state. Borno State’s population is predominantly Muslim, and JAS victims are not exclusively Christian.

The scale of Fulani militia violence, however, dwarfs that of the transnational jihadist groups. Between October 2019 and September 2024, the Fulani Ethnic Militia was responsible for 47 percent of all civilian killings in Nigeria, more than five times the combined death toll of Boko Haram and ISWAP, which together accounted for just 11 percent. Unlike the jihadist groups, Fulani militia violence follows a distinct methodology. Armed groups invade small Christian farming settlements to kill, rape, abduct, and burn homes, a pattern that has proven effective at achieving long-term territorial control and demographic change.

These two streams of violence are converging. Boko Haram and ISWAP have expanded westward into parts of Adamawa, Gombe, and Yobe states, and there are documented cases of Fulani militant groups in the Middle Belt receiving arms, financing, and coordination from jihadist networks. The UK All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Belief found that radicalized Fulani militants “demonstrate a clear intent to target Christians and potent symbols of Christian identity,” adopting tactics comparable to Boko Haram and ISWAP. Security analysts warn that militant Islamist groups in Nigeria demonstrate remarkable staying power and threaten to co-opt and Islamize other violent conflicts across the region.

Of the 4,849 Christians killed worldwide for their faith from October 2024 to September 2025, 72 percent were Nigerians. Despite this, Nigeria has struggled to prosecute perpetrators due to inadequate law enforcement and a dysfunctional judicial system. In October 2025, the Trump administration redesignated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern under the International Religious Freedom Act for tolerating systematic and egregious violations of religious freedom.
