As Jewish families across the United States celebrate Passover, an intensifying threat environment is shaping how communities approach the holiday and beyond. Tensions tied to the war with Iran, attacks against Jews and Jewish institutions have led to concerns over the community’s safety and security.From Miami to New York, officials are responding to what they describe as a sustained and evolving threat landscape. At a pre-Passover security strategy briefing at the NYPD, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told Jewish community leaders, “It is clear that we will be in a heightened state of alert for the foreseeable future,” a warning that comes as policymakers and security experts point to a widening gap between the level of threat facing Jewish communities and the federal resources available to protect them.Despite security fears, funding for houses of worship in the United States remains below what experts say is needed to meet the current threat, even as antisemitic incidents continue to rise.NYC BOOSTS PATROLS AMID ‘HEIGHTENED THREAT ENVIRONMENT,’ AFTER GUNMAN RAMS TRUCK INTO MICHIGAN SYNAGOGUEAccording to data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, anti-Jewish hate crimes have consistently accounted for the largest share of religion-based crime incidents in the United States in recent years.The gap between risk and resources has become a central concern for those working directly with affected communities. Scott Feltman, Preventative Security Analyst and Executive Vice President at One Israel Fund, said no religious group should have to choose between remaining open and ensuring safety.”No one should feel unsafe walking into a synagogue, church, mosque or temple in New Jersey or anywhere in America,” Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N., told Fox News Digital, who in recent weeks has been advocating for an increase in federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) funding to $1 billion in fiscal year 2027, a proposal currently under consideration in Congress.Recent attacks underscore the urgency. In Michigan, a man rammed a vehicle into a synagogue in West Bloomfield and opened fire while more than 100 preschool children were inside. In California, two Jewish men speaking Hebrew were reportedly assaulted in a restaurant while the attacker shouted antisemitic slurs.Jesse Arm, Manhattan Institute vice president for external affairs, told Fox News Digital, “What the latest attempted massacre made clear — when an Islamist from Dearborn via Lebanon tried to ram an explosive-laden truck into a synagogue preschool in my hometown of West Bloomfield, Michigan — is that security works. The presence of trained, armed guards helped save the lives of 140 American children and their caretakers.SIGN UP FOR ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED NEWSLETTER”But the broader lesson for the Jewish community is that safety cannot be outsourced entirely to the federal government or to any administration. It requires a cultural shift: normalizing lawful firearm ownership and training, hardening facilities at every level, and investing in the day schools, camps and identity-forming institutions that build communities confident and rooted enough to defend themselves.” Arm had praise for the administration in its fight against antisemitism: “President Trump has been a godsend for American Jewry. His administration has been unambiguous in its commitment to Jewish safety — naming antisemitism as a serious national security threat, taking a hard line on campus radicalism and prioritizing the kind of border security and counter-jihadist vigilance that the previous administration routinely soft-pedaled. American Jews should recognize that and be immensely grateful for it.” JEWISH SUMMER CAMPS RAMPING UP SECURITY MEASURES AMID RISING ANTISEMITISM — AND PARENTS ARE FOOTING THE BILLThe federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program, administered by FEMA, currently allows at-risk institutions to apply for up to $200,000 per location. In practice, however, many organizations receive less than that amount, often after delays that can stretch one to three years, and demand for the program has exceeded available funding in recent years, with applications far outpacing the number of grants awarded, according to federal data.Security experts add that the delay between identifying a threat and receiving funding can leave institutions without the protections recommended by security professionals during periods of heightened risk.To address those gaps, experts recommend layered security measures including trained personnel, reinforced entry points, surveillance systems, controlled access and emergency response training, which they estimate require between $400,000 and $500,000 in funding per location, roughly double the current federal cap. Security experts say both the funding level and the timeline for distribution have become central concerns as incidents continue to rise.Steven Ingber, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Detroit, said much of the financial burden for security continues to fall on the Jewish community itself rather than being fully addressed through government support.As that debate continues, officials are urging institutions to remain vigilant and maintain close coordination with local law enforcement, particularly during periods of increased tension tied to global events.Fox News Digital reached out to FEMA for comment but did not receive a response.

US Central Command released new unclassified footage of airstrikes against Iranian aircraft and missile sites as US forces escalated the war in Iran on Thursday morning. 
This comes after President Trump delivered an address to the nation on Wednesday, where he said, “We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We’re going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong.”
“Now, in our 5th week of the campaign, it is my operational assessment that we are making undeniable progress. We don’t see their navy sailing. We don’t see their aircraft flying, and their air and missile defense systems have largely been destroyed,” CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said in a statement, accompanying the release of footage.
WATCH:

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump also posted a video of Iran’s B1 bridge in Karaj, the tallest bridge in the Middle East, being destroyed in an airstrike.
“The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow! IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump said on Thursday.
WATCH:

Iranian state media also posted the following clip.

This came after Trump announced the US is close to completing all objectives of Operation Epic Fury and appeared to signal an approaching end to the war regardless of whether Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
“In the meantime, discussions are ongoing,” he said, noting that “If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously.”

A professor at Portland State University is sounding the alarm over the book selection for the school’s faculty book club starting on April 17. “My institution, Portland State, is having faculty read a book in Spring quarter on the awful scourge of White people at the institution,” Bruce Gilley, professor of political science at Portland State University, wrote in a March 26 post on X.  “Here are the references to Whites from the book,” Gilley wrote, referencing the book to be discussed, “Culture Clash,” by David Peterson del Mar, a former PSU professor, and Alejandra Vazquez, who says she was a co-author and research assistant from Jan. 2023-Oct. 2025 at PSU on her LinkedIn page. HARVARD STUDENT EXPOSES ‘SYSTEMATIC’ LIBERAL BIAS FORCING CONSERVATIVES TO AVOID CERTAIN CLASSESThe book, according to PSU’s event page for the faculty book club, features almost 100 interviews with students, and “invites us to listen closely to how students describe their learning experiences at PSU — the strengths they bring, the challenges they navigate, and the kinds of teaching and support that helped them succeed.”It adds that, “Together, we’ll reflect on what their stories can teach us and explore the recommendations students and faculty share for creating learning environments where more PSU students can thrive.”The first reference to “Whites” in the book that Gilley listed reads, “Those with the most job security in this system tend to be White males from comfortable backgrounds who were raised in highly individualistic families and cultures.” ILLINOIS DISTRICT WHERE FACULTY CELEBRATED CHARLIE KIRK’S DEATH EXPOSED OVER RACIAL ‘SEGREGATION’ PLANAnother example listed by Gilley reads, “‘I can’t share with these White professors,’ she explains, and often feels ‘like I’m a rubber duck in a pond of real [White] ducks.’”An additional example was, “‘Some students,’ mostly White, ‘are stingy and don’t want others to get ahead of them.’” The book also states, “Many of the students we interviewed have described how White professors and students seemed determined to use complicated language and terminology to demonstrate their superior intelligence, even – or particularly – when they were describing socially progressive points of view.” Another quote featured in the book from chapter 6, “‘FIGHTING IS ALL I KNOW’: ALEJANDRA’S STORY” states, “I had to coexist with racists, white supremacists, and dangerously ignorant people.”The final example in the book shared in part by Gilley on X states, “Academic culture is a sort of distillation or intensified version of White, upper-middle-class culture in that expressing progressive points of view on topics such as inequality and racism is often more common and valued than working closely with people who have been marginalized.” CRITICS SAY K-12 ETHNIC STUDIES PUSH TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT CISHETERONORMATIVITY, BLACK PANTHER PARTYIn a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for PSU relayed that, “The quarterly book club is an optional program for faculty and staff to connect. This term’s selection, ‘Culture Clash: New Majority Students at PSU,’ was authored by a retired professor and a PSU alum. It is based on nearly 100 interviews detailing the student experience — specifically the strengths they bring, the challenges they navigate and the support systems that help them succeed.” The spokesperson added, “The book offers an honest look at the emotional and practical realities of balancing academics with family, work and cultural expectations. Portland State University remains committed to academic freedom and providing a welcoming home for free speech and diverse perspectives.”Gilley told Fox News Digital in a statement that, “There are many serious legal and ethical problems with even publishing such a book, much less using it for faculty training. Most obvious, it contains dozens of disparaging characterizations of White people that, if directed at any other racial or ethnic group, would be immediately recognized as unacceptable stereotyping and would likely violate both state and federal civil rights protections as well as university policies regarding hostile educational environments. The pervasive pattern of negative generalizations about white students, faculty, and ‘White culture’ raises serious questions about whether Portland State University is fulfilling its obligations under state law to provide an equitable, non-discriminatory educational environment for all Oregon students.” He added, “The book presents White people—students, faculty, and professionals—as a monolithic group characterized by arrogance, selfishness, insensitivity, lack of empathy, intellectual showboating, privilege-blindness, and active or passive racism. If this book had characterized any other racial group—African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans—in similarly sweeping negative terms, would PSU have published it and encouraged faculty to incorporate it into their teaching? If not, what principle justifies different treatment based on the racial group being characterized?”Fox News Digital attempted to reach Peterson del Mar and Vazquez for comment. 

A prominent coach in the National Football League is presuming to “educate” a player who responded to a social dispute and endorsed the Christian message of another athlete.
Fox said the coach is Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots and running back TreVeyon Henderson the player.
Vrabel was questioned about Henderson’s statement supporting Christianity, and responded, “I think there is a fine line. I want to tell you, I love TreVeyon. I love the person. He cares deeply about our team. He cares deeply about his faith. He cares deeply about his family, his wife, the people in our building. And so I want them to be able to express what they believe in their heart and in their mind, but also want to make sure that they’re educated. And we want to be inclusive.
“”Everything we want to do [is] to provide an environment for people to want to feel comfortable, but also to share their personal beliefs. And then also, we represent the team. And we represent the organization,” he said.
The fracas got under way when guard Jaden Ivey, formerly of the Chicago Bulls, responded to the NBA’s promotion of the politically correct but anti-biblical LGBT agenda.
“The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right?” he said in a video. “They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA. They proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.’ They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim in the streets. Unrighteousness. So, how is it that one can’t speak righteousness? Who are they to say that this man is crazy?”
The Bulls released him, claiming his conduct was detrimental to the team.
Henderson then tweeted the video of Ivey, which has now gone viral, and responded with a Bible verse, saying, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
The quote was from Matthew 5:10.
Vrabel continued trying to walk the line between the two sides of the social agenda, promising to talk to Henderson.
“(We) certainly want to make sure that they understand that their actions represent something more than just themselves,” he said. “And so I do think there’s a line. We’re always talking about those kinds of things. We’re trying to educate them, no different than myself or you guys or my kids.”
A report at the Blaze said Henderson has been open about his faith.
And Vrabel several times insisted that his players will be educated.
 

Houthis Confirm Coordination With Iran, Hezbollah In Several Attack Waves On Israel

Amid several waves of missile strikes out of Yemen onto Israel from Tuesday into Wednesday, the Iran-aligned Houthis have made it clear they are coordinating with both Tehran and Hezbollah.

Yemeni Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the Houthis have carried out several missile launch operations on “sensitive targets” in “southern occupied Palestine”. The statement underscored this was conducted “in continuation of supporting and backing the fronts of Resistance” and as part of a “religious, moral, and humanitarian duty” toward allied forces in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine – specifically saying there was coordination with Iran.

The Houthis first announced last week they would be joining the war, but it has been the last 24 to 48 hours that Israel has really been subject of some of the biggest inbound rocket attacks in weeks.

This is because not only have Houthi forces stepped up attacks alongside Iran, but Hezbollah is increasing them too:

Four people were lightly injured as Hezbollah fired around 130 rockets at northern Israel on Wednesday and Thursday, the start of the Passover holiday, as the military struck dozens of sites in Lebanon belonging to the Iran-backed terror group.

The bombardment as Israelis celebrated the first two days of the Passover festival sent hundreds of thousands of people into shelters, as Iran continued to also launch missiles at the country, including the north.

The Houthis have very powerful, and longer-range rockets (compared to Hezbollah, apparently) – which were supplied (or assisted in terms of development) by Iran.

The Houthis are warning of more missile waves to come so long as Iran is attacked, saying the US-Israeli strikes “will only push free Yemen toward further escalation.”

One conflict monitor has compiled some recent examples of the tight Iran-Hezbollah-Houthi coordination this week:

The coordination seems to have been primarily the timing of the launch, as Iranian missiles were launched at Tel Aviv and Bnai Brak at the same time, wounding 14, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah fired rockets at the northern city of Kiryat Shmona, announcing it as the start of the “Khaybar 2″ operation in defense of Lebanon.

The Houthis had previously targeted the resort city of Eilat with missile strikes, and there were missiles that hit that city, though Israeli media has continued to maintain that all the missiles and drones fired by the Houthis were successfully intercepted, so it’s not clear where the Eilat missile actually came from.

A big lingering uncertainty regarding Yemen’s role in the conflict is whether the Houthis will start attacking Red Sea shipping once again. It has already threatened to, and such an escalation would add to deep uncertainty and rising prices in oil and energy markets.

You’ve tried the energy drinks. The ones with names that sound like they were invented by a fourteen-year-old boy. You cracked them open at 6 a.m., hoping the caffeine and taurine and whatever else they’ve crammed into that aluminum can would make you feel like yourself again. They gave you forty-five minutes of jittery alertness, followed by a crash so profound you nearly fell asleep in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon. Your edge didn’t come back. Your heart rate, however, went through the roof.
You’ve tried the gym-bro supplements. The pre-workouts. The protein powders. The mysterious capsules from that brand your buddy swore by — the one with the label that looked like it was designed for a comic book villain. You choked them down for months, convinced that if you just pushed harder, lifted heavier, and consumed enough processed whey to drown a small horse, the vitality would return. Your muscles grew marginally. Your energy, your drive, your sharpness — those stayed exactly where they were. Which is to say, somewhere you’d rather not discuss.
You’ve tried sheer willpower. You went to bed earlier. You drank more water. You cut out the late-night snacking. You did everything the wellness influencers told you to do, and you did it with the grim determination of a man who refuses to accept that something fundamental has shifted. And yet — you still wake up feeling like someone drained the batteries overnight. Still drag through the afternoon. Still notice that the fire, the focus, the physical confidence you once took for granted has quietly packed its bags and left without so much as a forwarding address.
But you’re still exhausted. Still sluggish. Still wondering where the version of you went — the one who had energy to spare, who attacked the day instead of merely surviving it, who felt strong and sharp and fully alive in his own body. The man who didn’t need to schedule enthusiasm.
That’s because you’ve been operating under a deeply mistaken belief: that your fatigue is a lifestyle problem. That if you just sleep better, eat cleaner, train harder, and manage your stress like some kind of monk-athlete hybrid, everything will snap back into place. You’ve been told the answer is discipline. You’ve been told the answer is hustle. You’ve been told the answer is one more supplement from one more brand making one more empty promise.
The Truth That Nobody In Those Industries Wants You To Hear
After age thirty, your testosterone levels begin to decline — roughly one to two percent per year. By the time you’re forty, fifty, sixty, the cumulative deficit is not trivial. It is physiologically significant. It affects your energy. Your strength. Your mental clarity. Your recovery. Your libido. Your mood. Your body composition. Every system in your body that makes you feel like you is downstream of this single hormonal reality. You haven’t been failing at self-improvement. Your biology has been quietly undermining you, and no amount of caffeine or discipline can override the endocrine system.
MARS by The Wellness Company is the supplement that finally addresses the actual problem. It is a precision-crafted formula built not on hype, but on science — designed to support your body’s own natural testosterone production and optimize the testosterone you already have. No synthetic hormones. No TRT injections. No harsh stimulants masquerading as solutions. MARS works with your biology, not against it.
The formula reads like a medical board’s wish list. Tongkat Ali — clinically shown to raise testosterone levels while simultaneously reducing cortisol, the stress hormone that actively suppresses your T. Shilajit — a potent Himalayan resin that supports male fertility, stamina, and free testosterone. Horny Goat Weed, rich in icariin, which improves nitric oxide levels for blood flow and vascular performance. Tribulus Fruit, a traditional testosterone enhancer that supports virility and physical output. Boron, which increases free testosterone by reducing SHBG — the protein that binds your testosterone and renders it useless. And Zinc, essential for testosterone synthesis itself. Each ingredient is included at clinically backed doses. Not pixie-dusted label decoration. Real amounts that do real work.
What Men Say About It
The men who take MARS don’t speak about it in vague terms. A 78-year-old man reported more energy, elevated mood, reduced aching, and a feeling of renewed muscular vitality — in the first three weeks. A 60-year-old lifelong fitness enthusiast found that MARS restored his workout gains and eliminated his need for intimacy medications entirely. These are not paid testimonials. These are verified buyers who had the same skepticism you have right now — and were proven wrong.
What separates MARS from the asea of testosterone supplements cluttering the shelves is what it doesn’t contain. No synthetic hormones. No artificial fillers. No GMOs. No gluten. No proprietary blend hiding underdosed ingredients behind a veil of secrecy. Every capsule is vegetarian, housed in an amber glass bottle to preserve potency, and backed by a team of physicians who actually practice medicine — not influencers who practice marketing.
Two capsules each morning with food. That is the entire protocol. Taken in the morning to align with your body’s natural testosterone rhythm, MARS begins working with your circadian biology from the moment you start your day. It is not a miracle pill. It is a serious, science-backed intervention for a serious, science-based problem that affects every man who lives long enough to experience it.
You have spent years fighting the wrong enemy. Stop battling the symptoms and start addressing the cause.
Order MARS today — or subscribe and save 10% on every shipment, delivered to your door on your schedule.
Your body has been waiting for reinforcements. Send them.

Anti-Christian leftists in Colorado’s government tried to take over the speech of a highly respected cake artist and force him to parrot their LGBT fantasies.
They lost, at the Supreme Court, and Colorado taxpayers were on the hook for the losing fight.
Then those same anti-Christian leftists in Colorado’s government tried to take over the speech of a popular website designer and force her to preach their LGBT ideologies.
They lost again, at the Supreme Court, and Colorado taxpayers again were on the hook.
It happened again just days ago, when the Supreme Court struck down Colorado’s “law” that told counselors they could promote the LGBT ideologies to clients, but could not tell them of the option of learning to live their lives in the sex they were born.
That Colorado officials wildly and incorrectly characterized as “conversation therapy” as counselors were not “converting” anyone, just discussing with clients their choices and options.
The high court had no trouble identifying the state’s agenda for viewpoint discrimination, which is not allowed.
Even as they cases were argued, the state attacked Christian organizations in a number of other ways, and repeatedly struck out.
So the state’s newest assault on faith could be strike six, or seven, or eight already.
In this fight, the state has banned companies from speaking truthfully about the biological differences between men and women.
This war focuses on the transgenderism that leftists, including Joe Biden, promoted for years but fails scientifically as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level and does not change.
It is the ADF that announced it is representing a Colorado athletic apparel company and a Christian bookstore with notices of appeal after a district court’s politicized decision ordering XX-XY Athletics and Born Again Used Books not to be truthful.
“Colorado continues to place itself on the wrong side of the law by forcing Coloradans to speak against their conscience,” said ADF lawyer Hal Frampton. “As the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed this week when it ruled against another Colorado law in Chiles v. Salazar, the government shouldn’t be able to censor speech or force people to speak views they disagree with. We are asking the appeals court to protect the ability of Coloradans to openly express their beliefs on a hotly debated issue.”
Colorado law, in fact, restricts the ability of people “to speak truthfully about the biological differences between men and women.”
In that Chiles decision, the high court confirmed, “The First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country. It reflects instead a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely, and a faith in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for discovering truth. However well-intentioned, any law that suppresses speech based on viewpoint represents an ‘egregious’ assault on both of those commitments.”
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a homosexual married to a man, signed into law a change to the beleaguered Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act to define “gender expression” to include a person’s “chosen name” and “how an individual chooses to be addressed.”
The law purports to demand that businesses use biologically incorrect language when interacting with customers, in ads and so on.
The offense by XX-XY Athletics is that the company refers to male athletes and male customers as male.
The family owned bookstore is being forced to violate the owner’s Christian beliefs by calling men women, and vice versa.
The state’s earlier catastrophes have included the attack of Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop, and the web designer behind 3030 Creative.
The counselor’s case was brought against the state on behalf of Kaley Chiles.
