    In L.A. Mayoral race, Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt advance to run-off; Fate, Texas stands tall for Nuclear Family Month
    Jun 5 2026
    It’s Friday, June 5th, 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 Vietnamese Communists arrested two pastors Two Montagnard Vietnamese Christian men — Pastor Siu Yúi, age 68, and church member Siu Dok, age 40 — were recently arrested in Gia Lai Central Province in Vietnam’s Central Highlands region. Both men were charged with “religious teachings” to mobilize ethnic minority communities toward separatism and independence, according to Christian Solidarity Worldwide. These arrests of Vietnamese Christians are the latest in a long campaign that the Communist Vietnamese government has waged against Montagnard Christian ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands who refuse to join state-controlled and sanctioned churches. In John 16:33, Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” In L.A. Mayoral race, Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt advance to run-off In the June 2nd election for Los Angeles mayor, Democrat incumbent Karen Bass had a dismal showing with only 34% of the vote. She was followed by insurgent reality TV star Spencer Pratt, a Republican, at 30% and socialist Nithya Raman at 22%. However, they are still counting ballots. Bass and Pratt now advance to a runoff this November. Tom Bevan, the founder of Real Clear Politics, offered this analysis. BEVAN: “The good news for Spencer Pratt is that over 60% of Los Angelinos voted for anybody but Karen Bass. That's the good news. “The bad news is for Spencer Pratt that he's at 30%. 22 [percent] voted for a socialist in Nithya Raman. How many of those voters are going to migrate over and vote for Karen Bass in the general election? And how much of an uphill climb is it for him to become the next mayor? “I think it's still a long shot, but he's going to get to stand on stage with Karen Bass again, in at least one debate, unless she decides not to.” Spencer Pratt scored points about Palisades Fire and drug addiction issue Spencer Pratt, whose home burned down in the Palisades Fire which he blames on Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for having drained nearby reservoirs, talked about her failure in their pre-election May 6th debate. (Watch 11 minutes of highlight video) PRATT: “So, without those two reservoirs filled with 117 million gallons and 5 million gallons, these firefighters had to fly all the way to Malibu and Encino to get water. So, that to me is the most dangerous thing that the mayor put us up against. … As mayor, I will never drain the reservoirs that we need for wildfire protection.” In that same debate, Pratt explained that the “homeless” in the streets is primarily a drug addiction problem. PRATT: “The reality is, no matter how many beds you give these people, they are on super meth, they are on fentanyl. The DEA statistic says 93% of this is a drug addiction problem. “Councilwoman Raman’s plan for treatment first. I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her, and we can find some of these people she's going to offer treatment for. She's going to get stabbed in the neck. These people do not want a bed. They want fentanyl or super meth.” Fate, Texas stands tall for nuclear family And finally, not every elected official is jumping on the sexual perversion bandwagon, declaring the month of June to be Homosexual Pride month. Fate, Texas Mayor Andrew Greenberg declared June to be Nuclear Family Month. Listen. GREENBERG: “I, Andrew Greenberg, Mayor of the City of Fayette, on behalf of the City Council, do hereby proclaim the month of June as Nuclear Family Month in the City of Fate, Texas, and encourage all citizens to reflect on the importance of the God-ordained nuclear family structure and continue working to strengthen and protect the traditional values of our city, county, state, and country.” God did ordain a husband and wife -- and their biological, adopted or foster children -- as the essential nucleus of the family. In Genesis 1:28, God commanded that the husband and wife “be fruitful and multiply.” You can send a quick 2-sentence email of thanks to Mayor Greenberg at aGreenberg@fateTX.gov.

  • Communist Chinese denying Bible to imprisoned pastors; Scotland officials drop case against pro-life grandmother; Wycliffe Bible Translators celebrated 800th Bible translation

    Communist Chinese denying Bible to imprisoned pastors; Scotland officials drop case against pro-life grandmother; Wycliffe Bible Translators celebrated 800th Bible translation
    Jun 4 2026
    It’s Thursday, June 4th, 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 Jonathan Clark China’s Tiananmen Square massacre anniversary Today is the 37th anniversary of China’s Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. In the weeks leading up to the tragic event, students were protesting for democracy in Beijing. The Communist Chinese government responded by forcibly putting down the protests. Hundreds, if not thousands, died in the massacre. China’s military also arrested leaders in the underground church which had fueled the protests. Communist Chinese denying Bible to imprisoned pastors Speaking of China, the country continues its persecution of the church. International Christian Concern reports Communist officials are denying access to Bibles for imprisoned pastors. Authorities arrested three leaders of Maizhong Reformed Church last year. Their family members requested to send them Bibles during their imprisonment. But officials refused the request and subjected the families to more intimidation. Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ of the underground church in China. According to Open Doors, China is the 17th most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. Please send a 2-3 sentence letter urging officials to give the Bible to imprisoned pastors. Send it to Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng, Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place NW, Washington DC 20008. Africa’s fertility rate above replacement level Pew Research reports that Africa boasts a young and growing population compared to the rest of the world. The continent is home to 19 percent of people around the globe. And it contains 28 percent of all people under the age of 25. In the next 75 years, nearly half of the world’s young people are projected to live in Africa. Also, it is the only world region where the fertility rate is above the replacement level. Scotland officials drop case against pro-life grandmother The government of Scotland recently dropped its case against a pro-life, Christian grandmother. Last September, authorities arrested 75-year-old Rose Docherty. She was simply holding a sign near an abortion mill in Glasgow. The sign read: “Coercion is a crime. Here to talk, only if you want.” A court cleared her of criminal charges in April. And Scotland’s prosecution office dropped the case last month. Listen to comments from Mrs. Docherty after her victory. DOCHERTY: “I was arrested, charged, and prosecuted for nothing more than peacefully inviting consensual conversation in a public space that I was permitted to be in. When I was arrested, I was handcuffed, placed in the back of a police van, and placed in a police cell for over two hours without a chair to sit on. Simply for being available for the lonely, the afraid, and the coerced, I have been treated like a violent criminal. “But thankfully, today the charges have been dismissed. The judge ruled that the charges were irrelevant and that they were a breach of my Article 10 free speech rights. Thank you all for your support and prayers. Thank you to ADF International and my entire legal team, who were brilliant. “Nobody should be criminalized for consensual conversations, and I am glad that that truth has been vindicated here today.” In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Trump proposed new tariffs on 60 countries In the United States, the Trump administration proposed new tariffs of up to 12.5 percent on 60 economies. The U.S. Trade Representative's ‌office released the proposal on Tuesday. It accuses these economies of failing to curb the importation of goods produced with forced labor. These economies include China, India, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Episcopal Church installed lesbian bishop in North Carolina An Episcopal Diocese in North Carolina installed Sarah Fisher, a self-avowed lesbian, as its bishop last month. She is living in unnatural relations with another woman, Mandy Brady, who is an Episcopal priestess. It is reportedly the denomination’s first appointment of its kind in the American south. Back in 1977, the Episcopal Church received its first homosexual into the clergy. Since then, membership has declined by nearly 50 percent as it has rejected clear Biblical teaching. Gallup poll: Americans less likely to support sexual perversion now A new survey from Gallup found that Americans are becoming less likely to support sexually perverted lifestyles. Support for such sinful lifestyles grew rapidly for two decades, peaking five years ago. Now, 65 percent of U.S. adults favor legal homosexual unions. That’s down from a high of 71 percent in 2022. Similarly, 62 percent support homosexual relations now, down from 71 percent over the same time period. Wycliffe ...

    Trump’s Executive Order on childhood vaccines; Washington Nationals baseball team fired anti-Catholic PR man; Franklin Graham preached to 20,000 in Madrid, Spain
    Jun 3 2026
    It’s Wednesday, June 3rd, 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 Jonathan Clark Russia launched airstrikes against residential Ukraine Russia carried out airstrikes on residential buildings across Ukraine yesterday. The attacks killed at least 22 civilians and injured 138 more people. Evangelical Focus reports one of the missiles severely damaged the building of New Life Church in the capital city of Kyiv. Thankfully, no one was in the structure at the time. The church is known for providing shelter and aid to people fleeing the war in the east. This attack came only 10 days after Russian airstrikes hit the building of another Evangelical church in eastern Ukraine. 50 percent of Danish young people believe in God or a “higher power” A growing share of young people in Denmark are expressing interest in God and the Bible. A report from the Danish Bible Society found about half of 16 to 30-year-olds believe there is a God or a “higher power.” These young people are more open to faith than the rest of the population. They are also more likely to attend church and to be interested in the Bible than older generations. Among young people, men proved to be the most religious. One in three young men in Denmark attended a church service recently, and one in five reads the Bible weekly. Franklin Graham preached to 20,000 in Madrid, Spain Evangelist Franklin Graham shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with nearly 20,000 people in Madrid, Spain over the weekend. Listen. GRAHAM: “The Bible says that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. Jesus Christ came to save sinners. He took your sins to the cross. He died in your place. He shed His own blood. He did this for you.” Nearly a thousand Evangelical churches across 15 denominations participated in the event. The number of Evangelical churches in Spain has been growing in recent decades in the Catholic-majority country. Trump’s Executive Order on childhood vaccines In the United States, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on childhood vaccines last Friday. The order directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to update the childhood vaccine schedule based on an assessment by the Department of Health and Human Services. This assessment found that the United States recommends more childhood vaccines than any peer nation. It also noted that most peer nations do not implement vaccinations by mandate. Washington Nationals baseball team fired anti-Catholic PR man An American professional baseball team fired a top official last week for religious discrimination. Sean Hudson worked as the Director of Community Relations for the Washington Nationals. A recent undercover video exposed him for discriminating against the team’s Catholic pitcher, Trevor Williams. Hudson excluded Williams from social media promotions because of his religious beliefs. Listen. HUDSON: “One of our pitchers, Dude Trevor Williams, he is very Catholic. The Dodgers had a group out to the stadium who were drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuns. He went on, like, a social media, like, ‘This is wrong. This is my religion. You all are mocking it.’ Because of that, we don't use him on social.” Since the undercover video came out, the Nationals fired Hudson and apologized to Williams. U.S. abortionists killed nearly 100,000 babies in January Abortion providers killed an estimated 99,470 babies in the womb in January 2026. This number comes from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute. Last year’s average number of abortions per month was 93,872. Life News commented, “The Guttmacher figures are indeed estimates, given the number of abortions taking place at home via the mail, with limited data regarding what proportion of pills mailed are actually consumed by the recipient, saved for later use, discarded, or even prevented by abortion pill reversal medication.” Museum of the Bible launches series on Bible’s U.S. influence And finally, the Museum of the Bible is launching new exhibits and events this year for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The museum is hosting a series of lectures starting this month about the Bible’s role in the founding of the United States. Next month, the museum plans to debut two exhibits on the Bible’s influence on early America. Their website says, “From America's earliest days, no text has left a deeper mark on the nation's ideals, laws, and culture than the Bible. As America marks its 250th anniversary, Museum of the Bible invites you to explore this story like never before.” Psalm 111:2 and 4 says, “The works of the LORD are great, studied by all who have pleasure in them. … He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.” Close And that's The Worldview on this ...

    100,000 Canadians have been killed by euthanasia; Chinese Communists sentenced 31 Christians to prison; Planned Parenthood has $2 billion in annual income
    Jun 2 2026
    It’s Tuesday, June 2nd, 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 92% of Australians say it's risky to affirm Christian beliefs publicly The first Australian Christian Freedom Index was released at the Australian Parliament last week. The Index produced a national survey of more than 10,000 Australian Christians concerning their views on faith and freedom in their country. A full 92% of respondents in the survey felt it is riskier to affirm Christian beliefs publicly today than it was five years ago. And, of the 74 Acts of Parliament produced that negatively affect Christian freedom, nearly half were issued in the last five years. Thus far, 40 Christians have been penalized for their beliefs by fines or imprisonment. Chinese Communists sentenced 31 Christians to prison In related news, persecution against Christians is on the rise in China as well. China Aid reports that a communist court in Hubei Province has sentenced 31 members of a house church fellowship for trumped up charges, to 2-4 years in prison. A 77-year old Christian leader, named Yang Zhijing, was sentenced to three years and two months in prison, and was fined $1,180 under the charge of being involved in a cult. His defense argued that he only advocated basic Christian teachings, that “faith in Jesus leads to Heaven” and that “everyone is sinful and must confess and repent.” The defense argued these were central doctrines in orthodox Christianity. In 2 Timothy 3:12, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” U.S. military killed 3 narco-terrorists in Pacific Ocean The United States is back to striking drug boats in the Caribbean Sea. The U.S. Southern Military Command announced that it struck a narco boat in the eastern Pacific, killing three over the weekend. Plus, the U.S. military struck several boats earlier last week. The death toll has risen to 205 for suspected narco-terrorists trying to traffic drugs into the United States by water. 100,000 Canadians have been killed by euthanasia Canada’s euthanasia deaths have soared past 100,000 since legalization in 2016. A tragic new report records 17,000 killings in 2025, up from 16,500 in 2024 and 7,500 in 2020. Add this to 104,000 abortions in the country. That makes up 40% of the total deaths in Canada in a given year. Listen to Euthanasia Prevention Coalition Director’s Alex Schadenburg’s comments on euthanasia at a committee hearing in Canada’s parliament. SCHADENBURG: “Canada is increasingly seen internationally as a cautionary example. The rapid growth of euthanasia deaths and the expansion of the types of cases are being closely watched abroad. … “More broadly, Canada's assisted dying law is vague. While Health Canada provides guidance, the legal framework allows for wide interpretation and lacks effective oversight.” Stocks inflated now like 2001 dot-com bust & 2009 real estate bust The S&P 500 Technology Sector stock metric gained 36% in two months. That’s the biggest jump in 36 years. And the NASDAQ Composite took a 23% leap over the same time period. Artificial Intelligence is driving much of the growth, according to some experts. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Price-to-Earnings Ratio reached 33. That’s the same territory the ratio exceeded in the 2001 dot-com bust and 2009 real estate bust. America’s twelve most highly capitalized companies have reached a worth of $30 trillion which is five times what they were worth six years ago. By contrast, income for these companies increased by only 2.5-fold. The Buffett Indicator, which takes the total stock market funding as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product, has reached 232%. That’s twice what it was before the 2009 real estate bust, and four times what it was just after the bust. Virginia Democrats want constitutional right to kill baby at birth The state of Virginia is looking to legalize abortion up until birth with a proposed constitutional amendment. A Roman Catholic Bishop, Michael Francis Burbidge, spoke out against the proposed amendment. He said, “This may be the only election in our lifetime where you hear me, or the Church, speak directly on how to approach the ballot box. God Himself knitted us together in our mother’s womb, and our Lord Himself instituted the sacrament of marriage.” Indeed, in Psalm 139:13, David told God, “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.” Nevada and Missouri have abortion on the ballot The states of Nevada and Missouri are also planning referendums on abortion in the 2026 mid-term elections. Thus far, 16 states have run referendums on abortion since the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Only South Dakota preserved a trigger ban on abortion. Nebraska ...

    How a small-town man got God on America’s money; Pope Leo meets with pro-abort, pro-sex perversion Chicago mayor; Egypt grants legal status to 191 church buildings
    Jun 1 2026
    It’s Monday, June 1st, 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 Egypt grants legal status to 191 church buildings The Egyptian government released an order the week of May 18th granting legal status to 191 church buildings that previously lacked official recognition, reports International Christian Concern. In total, 3,804 churches and related buildings have been approved since the creation of a committee to review churches in 2016, according to Christian Solidarity Worldwide. Thousands of churches and associated buildings have been built in recent decades. Still, the northeast African country of Egypt maintains a system for approving Christian places of worship that is separate from — and more difficult than — that for Sunni Muslim places of worship. According to Open Doors, Egypt is the 42nd most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. Pope Leo meets with pro-abort, pro-sex perversion Chicago mayor On May 28th, Pope Leo XIV met in a private audience with radical Chicago Democratic mayor Brandon Johnson, during which they reportedly discussed ICE raids in the city, slavery reparations, and the Iran war, but not key moral issues such as abortion and the homosexual transgender agenda, both of which Mayor Johnson supports, reports LifeSiteNews.com. The mayor has a radically pro-abortion and pro-sexual perversion record, previously pledging to offer free Abortion Kill Pills and to prosecute pro-life sidewalk counselors. And, in 2024, the mayor commemorated “National Abortion Provider Appreciation Day.” At the time, Chicago Mayor Johnson said, “We commend the bravery and resilience of abortion providers and look forward to continuing to support their efforts to ensure that reproductive rights are upheld and respected. Together, we can resist attempts to roll back the progress we have made, ensuring Chicago remains a sanctuary for choice.” Notice, he failed to mention that the choice the mother makes is the choice to murder her innocent pre-born baby boy or baby girl. In God’s conversation with the prophet Jeremiah, He said, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” (Jeremiah 1:5) Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett targeted in attempted swatting U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of an apparent “swatting” attempt after an unknown caller falsely reported gunfire at her Virginia residence, reports The Christian Post. On May 27th, Fairfax County police said that a caller contacted the department’s nonemergency line claiming to have heard shots fired at Barrett’s home. Officers quickly coordinated with Supreme Court Police assigned to the residence and determined the report was false. Texas Governor Abbott blasted Democrat James Talarico Appearing on Fox News Channel, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott blasted James Talarico, the Democrat Senatorial candidate, who will face off in the general election against Republican Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate this fall. Listen. ABBOTT: “Talarico himself said he has a record that he's going to run on. Let me tell you quickly about that record, about votes that he cast, not crazy things that he said. But he cast votes that support [Diversity, Equity and Inclusion] in our public schools, support defunding our law enforcement, supports boys in girls’ sports, supports transition surgery for minors, supports a state income tax in the state of Texas, supports open border policies. “So, the votes he’s cast set a record for how challenging he would be for any average Texan. You know, oftentimes you hear President Trump talk about a 90/10 issue, where 90% of the people are lined up on one side, 10% on the other side. Talarico’s votes are on the 10% side.” How a small-town Arkansas man got God on America's money And finally, Matthew Rothert Sr., a Presbyterian furniture manufacturer and avid coin collector born in 1904, was at church in Chicago on June 21, 1953, when he believed the Holy Spirit impressed upon him the idea that the phrase "In God We Trust" should be featured on American banknotes as it did on coins, according to his daughter, Alice Rothert Nelson, reports The Christian Post. She said, "The collection plate was going around, and he felt God tell him that the coins had 'In God We Trust,' but it was the bills that went all around the world. And he believed he should get 'In God We Trust' on the bills of the paper money, and so that started the campaign." By way of background, "In God We Trust" was first engraved on U.S. coins during the Civil War, after Mark Richards Watkinson, a Baptist minister from Pennsylvania, petitioned then-Treasury Secretary Salmon Chase at the end of 1861 to promote "the recognition of the Almighty God in some form in our coins" amid the fading illusion of a short, relatively bloodless conflict. ...

    Jill Biden wondered whether Joe had a stroke mid debate; Trump’s accelerating squeeze on Cuba; Welsh preacher John Penry pleaded for Welsh evangelism before execution
    May 29 2026
    It’s Friday, May 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 and Jonathan Clark 180 Christian families denied communal water in India More than 180 Christian families in 32 villages across Chhattisgarh State in central India have reportedly been denied access to communal water sources and livelihood opportunities for the past three weeks as punishment for refusing to leave their Christian faith, reports International Christian Concern. Many Christian families in the Antagarh region of the district have been barred from using community rivers, ponds, taps, and hand pumps. At the same time, Christians have been denied work under a government employment scheme. 2 Timothy 3:12 says, "Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." According to Open Doors, India is the 12th most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. Trump's accelerating squeeze on Cuba The Trump administration is bracing for the potential collapse of Cuba's totalitarian government as early as this summer, and has war-gamed new military response plans in case the island descends into chaos, reports Axios. President Trump will keep pushing economic sanctions to try to strangle the regime in Havana in a slow-motion constriction. This methodical squeezing of Cuba's communist regime is also designed to buy time for Trump — who's now engrossed in peace talks with Iran — to eventually focus on Cuba and decide how to bring about change there. The Cuba operation aims to eliminate Latin America's source of Marxist agitation and anti-U.S. activism ever since Fidel and Raul Castro led their successful revolution in 1959. To bring Cuba to its knees this year, the administration first focused on the island's lifeline: Venezuela, which is 1,200-miles south, and its socialist dictator, Nicolás Maduro. Venezuela kept Cuba afloat with shipments of oil that helped power the country and gave it a source of export revenue. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has thyroid cancer Former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after her departure from office earlier this year and is now receiving treatment, reports USA Today. Bondi, age 60, was fired by President Donald Trump in April but is set to return to the Trump administration to serve on an advisory committee on artificial intelligence policy as she battles cancer. Thyroid cancer results from malignant cells growing in a person’s thyroid gland, the butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck that makes hormones, according to the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic. These hormones regulate how your body uses energy, including metabolism, heart rate and blood pressure. Jill Biden wondered whether Joe had a stroke mid debate Remember this pivotal moment in the 2024 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump? BIDEN: “Making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system. Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the uh, with the COVID, excuse me, with, um, with dealing with everything we have to do with. Look, if. We finally beat Medicare!” As First Lady Jill Biden watched her husband stumble through the most cringeworthy portion of his disastrous June 2024 debate, she wondered if he had unknowingly ingested drugs or was having a medical episode on live television. In an upcoming CBS News Sunday Morning interview she said this. JILL BIDEN: “As I watched it, I thought, ‘He's having a stroke!’ And it scared me to death.” However, at the time, right after the debate two years ago, Jill Biden said this. JILL BIDEN: “Joe, you did such a great job! You answered every question. You knew all the facts.” In her new biography entitled, View From the East Wing, she was far more candid. She wondered, “Is he short-circuiting? Is this a stroke? I felt like we were watching an AI hologram of the man we knew, and the hologram was glitching. Has he been drugged?” According to The Atlantic, which has seen a preview copy ahead of the June release, Jill Biden wondered, “Will people watching assume this is how he is all the time?” Bidens fighting to squelch embarrassing audio recordings Gary Bauer, founder of American Values and the co-host of Family Talk, wrote, “Right now, the Bidens are fighting to prevent closed-door audio recordings of interviews Joe Biden did from being released to the public. Why? Because in those interviews Biden couldn’t remember basic events in his life. He couldn’t remember when he was vice president. He couldn’t remember when his son, Beau, died. He couldn’t remember the advice his generals gave him.” Bauer concluded, “And we all remember what Special Counsel Robert Hur said. Hur did not charge Biden for keeping classified documents ...

    May 28 2026
    It’s Thursday, May 28th, 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 Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Iranian Christian convert gets 10-year prison sentence A judge in Iran recently sentenced a Christian convert to nearly a decade in prison. That’s according to the Persian-language Human Rights Activists News Agency. Authorities raided the home of Ghazal Marzban in January. They arrested her and confiscated her Bible. A judge sentenced her to nine years and eight months in prison last week on trumped up charges. The 41-year-old Christian woman converted to Christianity from Islam nearly 10 years ago. Since then, she has faced arrest, imprisonment, interrogation, and now another imprisonment. Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Iran. The country is ranked 10th on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most oppressive countries to be a Christian. Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” Trump’s Cabinet meeting on war with Iran U.S. President Donald Trump held a cabinet meeting at the White House yesterday about the Iran war. The United States and Iran remain in a fragile ceasefire that began last month. President Trump hopes to finish the war through negotiations. Listen. TRUMP: “Iran is very much intent; they want very much to make a deal. So far, they haven't gotten there. We're not satisfied with it, but we will be. Either that or we'll have to just finish the job. Their navy is gone, as I've said a thousand times. Their navy is gone. Their air force is gone. Everything's gone. And they're negotiating on fumes.” However, the Trump administration is prepared to finish the job with the military if negotiations fail. Listen to comments from War Secretary Pete Hegseth. HEGSETH: “Whether it is through the efforts of your negotiators, that they ensure they never have a nuclear weapon, or we have to go back to the War Department to finish the job that way, we're prepared to do that.” MAGA Ken Paxton trounced Senator John Cornyn in GOP primary In a rejection of the GOP Establishment in the May 26th Senatorial run-off in Texas, Republican Party voters ousted Senator John Cornyn who has been in the Senate for 23 years, according to World Magazine. After President Donald Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton during early voting, he trounced Cornyn, 63% to 36%, reported NBC News. CORNYN: “After a public service career lasting more than four decades and 18 consecutive campaign wins, tonight we've come up short in this primary runoff. A few years ago, I had a friend of mine say, ‘You know what makes God laugh?’ He said, ‘When we make plans.’” Without referencing Ken Paxton by name, Senator Cornyn vowed to support him in the general election this November. CORNYN: “I've spent most of my time in the Senate, building the Republican Party in Texas, and in the U.S. Senate. I've always supported the Republican ticket, and I intend to do so again in this general election. I've said throughout this race that I trust the voters of Texas. They've made their decision, and I must respect it.” However, Cornyn did throw some shade at the registered Republicans who failed to show up and vote for him. CORNYN: “In this runoff election, approximately 8% of registered voters made their voices heard. Of that 8% who voted, roughly 60% said they were ready for a different direction. Another reminder that those who show up decide for those who do not.” (Watch Senator Cornyn's 7:42-minute concession speech here). Ken Paxton, who has vowed to support the Trump agenda, said this. PAXTON: “Today, change was on the ballot, and change won.” (applause) He expressed his gratitude for President Trump’s endorsement. PAXTON: “When everyone in Washington told him to abandon me and abandon the people of Texas, he didn't listen. Instead, he gave his complete and total endorsement. President Trump is the leader of our party, and his endorsement is the most powerful force in politics. And I'm honored to have his support, and I look forward to working with him in the Senate to deliver for Texas.” Despite Cornyn and his allies outspending Paxton 9 to 1, Paxton came out on top in this $163 million primary, making it the most expensive primary in U.S. history. PAXTON: “We went up against $150 million and all the attacks in the world. And you know what happened? The voters declared loud and clear a simple truth that we know in our hearts and in our souls: Texas is not for sale.” (cheers) Paxton pivoted to the general election and spoke about his Democrat opponent, James Talarico, a 37-year-old Texas State Representative. PAXTON: “My opponent is the most extreme radical the Democrats have ever nominated. He's even running a ‘vegan’ ...

    Weekly U.S. churchgoers have better mental health; Alaska could expand access to Abortion Kill Pill; Only 34 percent of Canadians say Bible is authoritative
    May 27 2026
    It’s Wednesday, May 27th, 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 Jonathan Clark Canadian group penalized for targeting Christians LifeSiteNews reports that an activist group in Canada recently lost its government funding after being exposed for targeting Christians. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network gets hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funding each year. Conservative lawmakers have called out the group for its hostility to Christians and pro-lifers. Campaign Life Coalition posted on X, “The Canadian Anti-Hate Network is reportedly out of Canadian Heritage funding. This is welcome news. For years, Canadians have been forced to subsidize an activist organization that has helped fuel suspicion and hostility toward Christians, pro-lifers, and other peaceful citizens.” Only 34 percent of Canadians say Bible is authoritative Lifeway Research released its new State of Theology in Canada Study. The survey found 51 percent of Canadians say that religious belief is not about objective truth. Only 34 percent believe the Bible has the authority to tell us what we must do. A majority of Canadian adults believe God accepts the worship of all religions, that most people are good by nature, and that the Bible is not literally true. Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, noted, “For most Canadians, the Bible’s teaching on how to live is only as convincing as the Bible itself. When half openly doubt the Bible, it is not surprising that the majority disagree with the Bible on how it says to live.” Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.” Alaska could expand access to Abortion Kill Pill In the United States, Alaska passed legislation last week that could expand access to the Abortion Kill Pill. House Bill 195 would allow pharmacists to prescribe drugs to individuals, not just administer them. Pat Martin is the director of Alaska Right to Life. He warned that the measure would “expand Chemical Abortion (Mifepristone) access from Anchorage and Fairbanks Planned Parenthood sites to virtually every city, town, and village that has a hospital, clinic, or pharmacy.” Romans 3:15-18 says, “Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Hawaiian officials in hot water for censoring free speech Officials in Hawaii agreed to pay over $100,000 to settle a free speech lawsuit last week. The Babylon Bee sued the state over its law that censored online political speech. The Christian news satire site won a similar case in California last year with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom. Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee, commented on the recent victory in Hawaii. He said, “This settlement marks yet another victory for the First Amendment and for anyone who values the right to speak freely on political matters without government interference.” Buying power of U.S. workers fell by 3% Pew Research released a report on American wages compared to the rising cost of living. In the past 20 years, wages have outpaced inflation. Based on the Consumer Price Index, the median wage’s real buying power grew by 12.1 percent between 1999 and 2025. However, over the past five years, the buying power of median wages actually fell by over three percent. This aligns with record inflation levels in recent years. Weekly churchgoers have better mental health And finally, the Wheatley Institute published a report entitled, “The Religion and Mental Health Connection.” The report reviewed thousands of studies linking religion to better mental health by a 10-to 1 ratio. Studies found the rates of suicide, depression, and anxiety were lower among people who attended religious services. This was especially true for people who attended services at least weekly. The report stated, “It is not nominal affiliation, but committed religious involvement that appears to matter most.” Hebrews 10:23-25 says to Christians, "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, May 27th, in the year of our Lord 2026.
