  • Trump: Democrat Party is embracing Communism; Marriage in decline; China to add 435 ships to Navy by 2030

    Trump: Democrat Party is embracing Communism; Marriage in decline; China to add 435 ships to Navy by 2030
    Jun 30 2026
    It’s Tuesday, June 30th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed China to add 435 ships to Navy by 2030 China’s control of the high seas is on the rise. Global Times reports that China’s shipbuilding industry produced 16 million tons of ships last year — an increase of 46% year over year. China is handling 57% of the global shipbuilding annually. By contrast, the United States retains around 0.04% of the global shipbuilding capacity at present. Currently, China is producing the equivalent dead weight in ships of 160 aircraft carriers per year. China’s military plan is to add 435 ships to their naval capacity by 2030 in addition to their current fleet of 395 ships. United States Naval Institute News has reported that America has 291 battle force ships in operation -- exactly the number it had in 2004. The Pentagon has revealed that China has targeted a fleet of nine aircraft carriers in nine years from now to compete with the 11 carrier fleet of the United States. China’s GDP is 7.3% vs, America’s GDP of 2.2% In God’s providence, China has improved its Gross Domestic Product by 7.3% per year over the last 20 years. By contract, the United States has averaged a GDP improvement of just 2.2% per year over the same timeframe. This year, the International Monetary Fund is forecasting a 4.4% Gross Domestic Product bump for China and a 2.3% bump for the United States. China builds 3 million drones and increases nuclear warheads by 77% China’s drone production is approaching three million per year now. By contrast, the U.S. military is producing 120,000 drones per year, with a plan to increase to about 1 million per year in the next year or two. China’s nuclear warhead buildup continues as well -- now at 620 warheads which is up from 350 in 2020. That’s a 77% increase which would put the nation with 1,100 nuclear warheads in five years. The United States and Russia have each deployed 1,770 nuclear warheads. Job 12:9 and 23 asks the question: “Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? ... He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them.” White House affirms parents, opposes Johnson Amendment The White House Religious Liberty Commission issued its final report over the weekend. The report noted that “parents bear primary responsibility for the formation of their children. … This principle is deeply rooted in American law, tradition, and constitutional understanding. However, witnesses testified that government actors have frequently infringed upon the fundamental rights of parents to raise their children in accordance with their beliefs. Parental rights deserve greater clarity and stronger protection.” The report also recommended “federal legislation repealing the Johnson Amendment.” The commission called this ”an unconstitutional restriction on the religious speech of houses of worship and faith-based non-profits.” The commission was particularly concerned about “physicians, nurses, pharmacists, administrators, patients, and religious healthcare providers regarding conscience conflicts involving abortion, sterilization, assisted suicide, gender-related interventions, vaccine mandates.” Trump: Democrat Party is embracing Communism Last Friday, President Donald Trump spoke on religious liberty to the Faith and Freedom Coalition. He warned that the Democrat Party is turning towards communism. Listen TRUMP: “I looked at some of the people that got elected the other night in New York. These are people that want to destroy our country. They hate our country. They hate our people. They hate the Democrat Party. “The Democrat Party is in big trouble. This isn't stopping with New York. These are not social 'Dumocrats.' These are hardcore, godless communists. They don't believe in God. This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence, in my opinion.” Homosexual pride marches in San Fran, New York City, and Ukraine Pride comes before a fall. And the month of June featured more pride events around the world. Indeed, 56,000 people participated in San Francisco’s homosexual pride march over the weekend, and news reports indicate more than a million showed up on Sunday for New York City’s event. Plus, 5,000 people showed up at last week’s homosexual pride march in Kiev, Ukraine. That’s the largest turnout since the start of the war. Ukraine has been celebrating homosexuality with these events since 2013. Meanwhile, since June 2012, Moscow banned all homosexual pride events for a hundred years. The largest homosexual pride event in Asia occurs in Taipei, Taiwan each year — attracting some 150,000 people. And the Chinese government shut down Shanghai homosexual pride marches in 2020.

  • Will Texas remove American Revolution from history lessons?; Samaritan’s Purse airlifted an Emergency Hospital to Venezuela; Julian the Apostate acknowledged Christ’s victory over paganism

    Will Texas remove American Revolution from history lessons?; Samaritan’s Purse airlifted an Emergency Hospital to Venezuela; Julian the Apostate acknowledged Christ’s victory over paganism
    Jun 29 2026
    It’s Monday, June 29th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Hungarian homosexual pride march draws 100,000 On June 27th, at least 100,000 Hungarians gathered in 100-degree heat in Budapest to celebrate their 31st annual Homosexual Pride march, reports the Associated Press. It’s the first such event since conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was defeated in the April election. To his credit, Orban had prohibited the portrayal or "promotion" of homosexuality and gender transition to minors in schools and media aimed at children. Plus, the Hungarian Parliament amended the civil registry law so that official documents permanently record a person's "sex at birth" which ensures that citizens cannot legally pretend to be the opposite sex. And the Parliament limited adoption to married heterosexual couples. Hungary does not allow homosexual marriage. Sadly, under new leadership, all of that may change. Leviticus 18:22 says, “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” Venezuelan death toll skyrocketed to 1,430 people Tragically, the death toll in those two major Venezuelan earthquakes last Wednesday has skyrocketed from 164 to 1,430 as of June 27th, reports NBC News. Plus, there are an astounding 51,000 people missing. According to the BBC, emergency teams are still searching for people trapped in buildings that collapsed in the earthquakes. Antoan Marín said, "Rescue workers are overwhelmed. They are pulling people out with their bare hands.” Over 2,000 rescue units from 21 international groups are on the ground in Venezuela or en route. Samaritan’s Purse airlifted an Emergency Hospital to Venezuela On Saturday, the Samaritan’s Purse cargo plane airlifted life-saving supplies, including an Emergency Field Hospital, to Venezuela. Hospitals in the hardest hit areas were already strained before the earthquakes. Now, many are damaged and overwhelmed with people in desperate need of care. The Samaritan’s Purse Emergency Field Hospital is capable of treating more than 100 people each day. It will be equipped with multiple operating rooms, a critical care unit, pharmacy, and laboratory. The ministry has also airlifted emergency shelter material, solar lights, and blankets to provide relief to families who are suffering. Franklin Graham, the president of Samaritan’s Purse, said, “Roads have been split wide open and hundreds of buildings have collapsed. People are living on the streets—terrified of aftershocks. It’s heartbreaking to see the suffering and loss. We love the people of this country, and we want to do all that we can to help in Jesus’ Name.” Send a much-needed gift to help equip Samaritan’s Purse in their rescue efforts in Venezuela through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 1 John 3:17 says, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” Three Democratic Socialists win in New York Three Democratic Socialists of America candidates beat establishment Democrats in New York City's June 23rd primary, winning with the backing from the city's democratic socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, reports USA Today. Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier won in the 7th and 13th Congressional Districts for the U.S. House. Aber Kawas won in New York State Senate District 12. Chevalier and Valdez vowed to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And Chevalier once said, “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me." Plus, she wants to close down prisons and abolish the police. In 2017, Kawas, a Muslim woman, told a panel that the 9/11 attacks were America's fault, the result of "capitalism and racism and White supremacy ... and Islamophobia." Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, said this on social media: "Anti-Israel. Anti-America. Anti-Western Civilization. Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of those self-identified communists?" And Republican Congressman Randy Fine of Florida sounded off as well. FINE: “It's a sad day for America. I mean, these people are bad people. We’ve got to be worried about the future of the country. “The Democrats are no longer the loyal opposition. In many cases, they are the enemy of the country. And I don't think it's hyperbole to say that. These are people who hate America and who seek its destruction.” Texas considers removing American Revolution from mandated history lessons The Texas State Board of Education is proposing changes to mandated school curriculum for the 5.5 million Texas students that would remove lessons about the American Revolution and would marginalize our Founding Fathers, reports Christian talk show host Todd Starnes....

    Alarm over Abortion Pills & dead babies in U.S. water supply; 250,000 British girls sexually assaulted by Pakistani Muslims; Twin earthquakes in Venezuela killed 164, injured 1,000
    Jun 26 2026
    It’s Friday, June 26th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 250,000 British girls sexually assaulted by Pakistani Muslims Last week, a group called Restore Britain released a summary report of an inquiry into the widespread and systematic sexual exploitation of vulnerable working-class women and children across the nation, reports Breakpoint. At least 250,000 girls were sexually assaulted, trafficked, tortured, and even killed, mostly by gangs of Pakistani Muslims. The details in the report are so horrifying, it’s difficult to believe they are true. Evidence of the abuse and reports by victims were downplayed and ignored. To his shame, when atheist British Prime Minister Kier Starmer, who resigned Monday, was Director of Public Prosecutions and the head of the Crown Prosecution Service, he shockingly dismissed 13,000 cases of suspected child sexual offenders with a warning letter rather than attempt to prosecute. British citizens who spoke out about the abuse or expressed criticism of mass migration were often prosecuted, especially if the criticisms were directed at Pakistani or Muslim communities. The gangs that have been operating in Britain have deep ideological and cultural roots shaped by Islam, including Sharia law. Also ignored is the difficult truth that Islam, on its own terms, allows child sexual exploitation and trafficking. Many of the young Muslim men responsible for these atrocities believe they are answerable to Sharia law, rather than to British law. They believe their devious assaults are approved by Islam’s false god Allah, especially when done to an enemy who is oppressing them. Send a 2-3 sentence letter urging that British authorities prosecute the rapists. Christian Turner, British Ambassador, British Embassy, 3100 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008. Twin earthquakes in Venezuela killed 164, injured 1,000 At least 164 people have been killed and 971 injured in Venezuela after powerful back-to-back earthquakes rocked the country on Wednesday night, June 24th, reports Yahoo News. Thousands more are feared dead after a magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit about 100 miles west of the capital, Caracas, followed less than a minute later by a magnitude 7.5 tremor, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. In a Truth Social post, President Donald Trump said, "The U.S.A. stands ready, willing, and able to help! I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new and great friends." Supreme Court delivers major win to Trump On June 25th, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Syria and Haiti, reports TownHall.com. In a 6-3 decision, the justices found that the statute bars judicial review of non-constitutional claims. After the Department of Homeland Security moved to terminate Temporary Protected Status for people from Syria and Haiti, it was hit with a deluge of lawsuits challenging the move. Congress created Temporary Protected Status back in 1990 to grant short-term humanitarian relief to foreigners who cannot safely return home due to armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extreme conditions. Syrians were able to take advantage of the program in 2012 because of the brutality of the Bashar al-Assad regime. Haiti received it in 2010 after a devastating earthquake. However, both designations went on for longer than the “temporary” label suggested. Alarm over Abortion Pills & dead babies in U.S. water supply Based on an alarming 86-page report entitled “Abortion in Our Water,” 14 state attorneys general sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency warning about a “growing threat to the country’s waterways as a result of the pharmaceutical abortion drug mifepristone,” reports Liberty Counsel. They’re asking the EPA to place mifepristone and its generics on the federal list of drinking water contaminants that need further investigation. The abortion industry has moved from clinics to toilets. Chemical abortions now account for 63% of all U.S. abortions in the formal health care system in 2023 — up from 31% in 2014 and 14% in 2005. Women are told to take the Abortion Kill Pills and flush everything directly into our water supply. About 700,000 chemical abortions each year send long-lasting abortion drugs and human remains into America’s wastewater systems. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, thus starving the baby. This drug has long-lasting metabolites that remain in the water because the water treatment plants are generally not capable of filtering out these chemicals. In addition to these chemicals, the water systems were never designed for the resulting 30-40 tons of human remains which ...
