Hell Freezes Over As Media Reveals Remarkable Actions Trump Took After WHCD Shooting by Nick Arama
There were definitely some crazy moments at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday when a gunman tried to shoot his way into the event, but was stopped.
The gunman, Cole Allen, allegedly told authorities he was trying to target Trump administration officials. There were a lot there, including several Cabinet members, in addition to the president himself. The only person who was hit was reportedly a Secret Service agent, who was hit in the vest, but has now been released from the hospital. …
In response, there were some surprising moments where the media, which is so frequently attacking Trump, seemed to recognize what a remarkable person he can be.
Here’s Weijia Jiang, CBS White House correspondent and the President of the White House Correspondents Association, who had been sitting next to Trump when it happened, recognizing and appreciating Trump’s strength to hold a briefing 30 minutes later and say they would hold the dinner again within 30 days. People applauded.

Actress Mia Farrow Suggests Trump May Have Staged WHCD Shooting to ‘Raise His Approval Ratings’
Actress Mia Farrow took to the Democrat digital echo chamber Bluesky and promoted the conspiracy that 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen charging through a metal detector before shooting a Secret Service agent in the chest during Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner may have been part of an effort by President Donald Trump to “raise his approval ratings.”
“He is forcing us to wonder ‘he has lost a war he is unable to end & is now so desperate to raise his approval ratings, would he …..’ ?” Mia Farrow posted to the social media platform on Sunday morning, linking to an Economist article. Farrow includes quotes in her missive that don’t come from the article she links to.

King Charles III trip to US will ‘proceed as planned’ despite WHCA dinner shooting
King Charles III of the United Kingdom will continue his trip to the United States as planned on Monday, despite the shooting that occurred Saturday night at the White House Correspondents Association dinner.
President Donald Trump and administration officials were said to be the targets of the gunman. Buckingham Palace announced in a press release on Sunday that the king’s plans to visit will continue.
“Following discussions on both sides of the Atlantic through the day, and acting on advice of Government, we can confirm the State Visit by Their Majesties will proceed as planned,” said Buckingham Palace officials in a statement.
“The King and Queen are most grateful to all those who have worked at pace to ensure this remains the case and are looking forward to the Visit getting underway tomorrow,” noted the statement.
Charles contacted Trump and first lady Melania Trump sometime over the weekend after the shooting, expressing their support, according to multiple sources. The king and wife, Queen Camilla, are expected to arrive in Washington, D.C., on Monday for a four-day trip in the U.S. It will be the first visit to the U.S. by a British monarch since Queen Elizabeth II visited the country in 2007.

A Message to the Europe: With or Without You, We Fight – Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi
I have spent the past several weeks traveling across Europe, speaking to members of parliaments, governments, and the press. My visit had one objective: to give a voice to the millions of Iranians held hostage by the Islamic Republic, its terror, and its Internet blackout. The millions of Iranians who have been silenced. But I can now say with confidence that that silencing, that censorship, is not just happening at the hands of the regime in Iran, but by the international, and particularly the European, media. So I want to speak directly to the people of Europe.

Iranian President’s Plaintive Plea to the People Shows What Deep Trouble They Are In – by Nick Arama
It looks like things are getting a bit frantic now for the Iranian regime.
We reported that the U.S. blockade of their ports has left them scrambling to deal with the economic and structural fallout. Because they can’t ship out their oil as they had been doing, their storage ability at Kharg Island is backing up, which is days away from causing a major problem. So they even pulled in a 30-year-old tanker to try to gain some additional storage for just a couple of days. It shows their options are dwindling. And all of this is hitting the regime right in the wallet.
Now, on Saturday, the Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, has made a statement. calling for action from the Iranian people to deal with the crisis in the country. I have to believe that this is going to infuriate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Evidence Young People Are Turning To Christianity Isn’t Anecdotal — It’s Real
Even those who doubt the truth of Christianity should not be surprised at a religious resurgence. Here’s why.
The revival is real, but the devil has backup plans. The evidence that the youth are turning to Christianity is going from anecdotal to data. In particular, young people on the right, especially men, seem to be finding faith.
As InteractivePolls noted on X, a recent Gallup poll found that “42% of men aged 18-29 now say religion is ‘very important’ in their lives — a sharp jump from just 28% in 2022-2023. Monthly religious attendance among young men has climbed to 40% (up from 33%), the highest level in over a decade.”
This might be dismissed as an outlier, but polls are consistently showing that the share of “nones” (those who claim no religion) has leveled off. And there are other signs, such as Catholic parishes welcoming record numbers of converts this Easter.
