President Trump answered the blood-curdling reports of attacks on Christians in Nigeria not with platitudes but with action, ordering strikes against ISIS-affiliated militants in northwest Nigeria. This was no symbolic tweet — American forces struck targets in Sokoto state to degrade the terror networks that have been slaughtering innocents.
The Commander-in-Chief left no doubt about his intent, bluntly labeling the perpetrators “ISIS Terrorist Scum” and making clear that protecting persecuted Christians around the world is a priority of his administration. For patriots who value faith and human dignity, that clarity is a welcome contrast to the cowardice of previous administrations that papered over mass atrocities.
Conservative voices inside the administration and on our networks made the stakes plain: this was a response, not a surrender. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth publicly vowed more action and framed the strike as a direct answer to a president who promised consequences for those who target Christians; our military did exactly what Americans expect — it hit the enemy and sent a message.
Of course, the global media and Nigeria’s government pushed back, insisting the violence is complex and not solely aimed at Christians. That dodge will not satisfy ordinary people who have watched villages torched and pastors butchered; those who hide behind nuance while innocents die deserve the fiercest pushback from free nations.
On Newsmax’s Wake Up America, Rep. Pete Sessions put it plainly: the president’s message on Christian persecution is “quite clear,” and Republicans should stand with him. That’s the kind of unapologetic, moral clarity America needs — leaders who will call evil by its name and back words with force when necessary.
Now is the moment for conservatives to rally — not to wring hands or bow to the fashionable relativism of the left, but to demand continued pressure until Christian communities are safe and the terrorists who butcher the innocent are finished. We owe those victims more than headlines and hashtags; we owe them the full weight of an America that remembers faith, defends the vulnerable, and acts when liberty is under attack.
