Churches in America are turning to drone shows, skydiving bunnies and helicopter egg drops to celebrate Easter this year. Last Saturday, Compass Church in Salinas, California, held a “Great Helicopter Easter Egg Drop” with a skydiving bunny. “Compass Church presents The Great Helicopter Easter Egg Drop,” an announcement on the church’s website read. “The sky diving bunny returns this year with double the excitement!”WHITE HOUSE MARKS HOLY WEEK, EASTER WITH DAYS OF PRAYER CENTERED ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTYThe egg drop with the skydiving bunny includes 100,000 Easter eggs, bounce houses, games, photos with the Easter bunny and food for purchase.Similarly, Cultivate Church in Alabama partook in an event, titled, “Great Big Helicopter Easter Egg Drop.” “Join us as thousands of candy and toy-filled Easter eggs fall from a helicopter,” Cultivate Church said in an announcement on its website. AFFORDABLE EASTER TABLE DECOR THAT MAKES HOSTING EASY, STARTING AT $8On Good Friday, a coalition of churches in Tennessee held an Easter drone show and fireworks. “Hundreds of drones will illuminate the night sky in a breathtaking display, synchronized to a powerful narration broadcast on Grace 107.7,” an announcement on the website for The River Community Church in Cookeville, Tennessee, read. “Through light and sound, the story of Jesus will come to life—celebrating hope, resurrection, and new life.”It added, “If you can see the big white cross next to I-40, you’ll have a great view as the drones soar 200 feet above it. The evening will conclude with a stunning fireworks finale over Prayer Mountain, making for a powerful ending to this unforgettable experience.” In a video announcement on Facebook about the event, the lead pastor of the church, Steve Tiebout, said over 20 churches in the area are involved to bring the event together.NIGERIA’S CHRISTIANS ON EDGE FOR EASTER AFTER PALM SUNDAY MASSACRE”Bring people that never go to church. This will be something they’ll want to see, and then you can have those conversations afterward to share with them what Christ has done in your life,” Tiebout said in the video announcement.Fox News Digital reached out to Compass Church, Cultivate Church, and The River Community Church for comment. At a time when America is wrestling with declining church attendance, a recent Barna Group study suggests that attendance has increased among Gen Z and Millennial men, showing signs of a return to church that surpasses older generations. Gen Z and Millennials’ attendance has seen a resurgence in general, according to conservative Gen Z influencer Bo Loudon. “This is the result of a generation that’s had a lot of stuff going on. You know, we had to go through Covid, we’ve had a bunch of wars, and you know, not so great presidencies. But we’re in a great presidency now, and we have a great president that’s made it very open for us to talk about God and speak about our faith,” Loudon told Fox & Friends recently. 

FIRST ON FOX: The anti-fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance revealed a staggering increase in California hospice and healthcare providers that were suspended as a result of the task force’s crackdown on fraud. Fox News Digital is told a total of 221 providers in Los Angeles have been suspended so far due to suspected fraud, including a number of providers who were raided by federal authorities early Thursday morning.The latest number of suspensions marks a more than 215% increase from the 70 providers initially suspended in Los Angeles last week as a result of the task force.”The Administration’s War on Fraud once again yields results as more suspensions take place and fraudsters face justice for ripping off hard-working Americans and stealing their tax dollars and social services,” a Vance spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “The Vice President and his task force are proud of these latest figures and expect to see this number continue to grow dramatically.”COMER TO SAY TIM WALZ ‘ENABLED FRAUD,’ FAILED WHISTLEBLOWERS IN BOMBSHELL MINNESOTA HEARINGSources within the administration tell Fox News Digital that the number of hospice and home health providers that will be suspended is expected to dramatically increase.”We expect this number to grow much, much higher in the coming weeks,” a senior Trump administration official said.The California Post reported that the FBI and SWAT teams arrested a number of individuals in California Thursday morning as part of a blitz on fraudulent businesses in the Los Angeles area.That included the arrests of two individuals behind an alleged $7 million in fraud. “In 10 weeks we’re getting close to what Governor Newsom did in four years,” Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz told the California Post.DEPUTY AG TODD BLANCHE SHEDS LIGHT ON NEW DOJ FRAUD DIVISION TO ADDRESS ‘INSANE’ PROBLEMThe targeting of California providers fraudulently receiving federal funding has been alluded to by Vance and the Trump administration for several weeks. In early January, President Donald Trump posted that California “is more corrupt than Minnesota” when detailing his intentions to root out fraud.Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has consistently denied claims that fraud is not appropriately handled and addressed in his state. In March, a Newsom spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the governor had blocked $125 billion in fraud, and made a number of arrests. “Gavin Newsom runs a state,” the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “Donald Trump runs his mouth. Again and again, we’ve shown that the programs they are attempting to call out are programs the federal government is administering, not the state. We suggest they get their house in order.”Vance responded to a question about the anti-fraud task force posed by Fox News Digital at an event in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, earlier this month, saying that at least “$19 billion” has been uncovered in Minnesota and that the task force’s sights would also be set on California. In February, Vance and Oz revealed that $259.5 million in Medicaid funding would be withheld from Minnesota due to fraud concerns that had recently affected the state. The announcement came shortly before Gov. Tim Walz — former running mate of Kamala Harris — said he would not pursue a third term.

An ABC affiliate in Alabama apologized on Monday after an anchor signed off from the station’s evening newscast by quoting the founder of an Islamic fundamentalist group that has been linked to terrorism and threats against America. Birmingham’s WBMA ABC 33/40 News anchor Ashonti Ford ended an evening newscast last week with a quote she attributed to Hassan al-Banna, who is credited with founding the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928.”Before we go, a quote from the founder of the Islamic Brotherhood: The quieter you become, the more you’re able to hear,” Ford told Alabama viewers. TURKEY’S NATO ROLE UNDER SCRUTINY AMID NEW REPORT ON HAMAS, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD TIESThe Trump administration has designated certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations. Aross parts of the Arab world, the Islamist organization has been banned or restricted for years. Egypt outlawed the movement in 2013, accusing it of inciting unrest and undermining state institutions. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates later designated it a terrorist organization, describing it as a threat to national stability, while Bahrain adopted a similar stance. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., who was among the many online critics, called the signoff on the Alabama station “pure insanity.””The Radical Muslim Brotherhood is a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Tuberville wrote. EXPERT WARNS RADICAL ISLAMIST NETWORKS COULD SHIFT WEST AFTER IRAN REGIME SHAKEUPAfter significant backlash, ABC 30/40 news director Jeff Cox addressed the incident on Monday. “I want to take a moment to address concerns about our broadcast last Thursday. The intent of our closing segment is always to end the newscast on a positive and thoughtful note,” Cox told viewers. “The quote included that evening was not intended to convey any political or ideological message,” he continued. “However, we understand that it was perceived that way and, on behalf of the station, I sincerely apologize to those who were offended.”Cox added that Ford “had nothing to do with the selection,” and quotes used to end the newscast are selected through the station’s editorial process, not by anchors themselves. SCATHING REPORT CALLS ON US TO LABEL ISLAMIST GROUP INFILTRATING ALL ASPECTS OF AMERICAN LIFE AS TERRORIST ORG”We have addressed the matter internally, and we are making adjustments to ensure our content consistently meets our editorial standards moving forward. We value your trust, appreciate your feedback, and we thank you for your loyalty,” Cox said. WBMA is owned and operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group.  When reached for comment, a Sinclair spokesperson provided Fox News Digital with video of Cox’s apology. “ABC 33/40 is reinforcing its editorial review protocols to ensure content aligns with the station’s standards,” a Sinclair spokesperson added. “ABC 33/40 has an established editorial process for reviewing content. In this case, that process fell short, and the station has taken steps to strengthen it moving forward,” they continued. “The station’s on-air talent was not involved in the selection of the quote, this was an editorial matter, which has been addressed through our internal processes.”Ford was not disciplined and has remained on air. Fox News Digital’s Efrat Lachter contributed to this report.

Armed federal investigators raided the home of two sisters — one a New York City Councilwoman and the other an aide to Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul — following allegations they took bribes linked to migrant shelter funding.
The agents, some wielding guns, arrived at the residences of Democratic City Councilwoman Farah Louis and Hochul administration Assistant Secretary of Intergovernmental Affairs Debbie Louis on March 23, four days after they were named in a warrant, Politico reported Thursday, citing the sisters’ mother. The reported raid and warrant came amid an investigation into whether the Louis sisters and Edu Hermelyn, whose wife is a state assemblywoman and chairs the Brooklyn Democratic Party, received bribes in exchange for supporting migrant shelter provider BHRAGS Home Care Inc.
Farah Louis, the longest consecutively serving member of the New York City Council, had set aside over $70,000 in city spending for BHRAGS, according to city records, Politico first reported.

Vesta Louis, the sisters’ mother, told Politico that she believes her daughters are innocent stating, “We are a Christian family, we don’t deal with monkey business.”
“We deal with church and God and our jobs,” the mother said.
Spokespersons for Councilwoman Louis and Hochul did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment. The DCNF also left a message for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York.
The family matriarch also told Politico that her daughters are “scared to stay home” due to the probe.
“They’re just speechless, they can’t talk. Can you imagine? You’re sleeping in your bed, and you saw a bunch of people walking into your bedroom with guns?” she told the outlet.
Mrs. Louis sent a photo of the damaged doorframe at Councilwoman Louis’ home to Politico, adding that the agents had busted it before sunrise while the Democratic politician was sleeping. However, an anonymous source told Politico that the lawmaker had refused to open the door without first conferring with her attorney.
The Louis’ mother also told the outlet that the raid on Debbie Louis’ home happened when the Hochul aide’s four-year-old daughter was home, and that Debbie Louis’ husband had let the agents in.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York on Tuesday indicted four men in connection with the BHRAGS probe, including former BHRAGS executive director Roberto Samedy.
A spokesperson for BHRAGS told the DCNF that Samedy “is on administrative leave” and the organization has been “fully cooperating with law enforcement.”
“For more than 50 years, BHRAGS has served New Yorkers in need with integrity and the highest ethical standards, and we take the allegations against Mr. Samedy seriously,” the spokesperson added. “Frances Pierre, BHRAGS’ Chief Operating and Strategy Officer, has assumed the role of Executive Director and will continue our critical work empowering marginalized individuals with compassion.”
Samedy donated $875 to Councilwoman Louis’ campaign, Politico reported.

Coinbase Exec Says Senate CLARITY Act Deal On Stablecoin Yield “Very Close”

Authored by Amin Haqshanas via CoinTelegraph.com,

Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal said the US Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is “moving toward” a markup hearing in the US Senate Banking Committee and could eventually move to a floor vote if senators resolve the stablecoin yield dispute and schedule a markup.

Speaking in a Wednesday interview on Fox Business, Grewal said lawmakers are nearing agreement on core elements of the crypto market structure bill, even as debate continues over stablecoin yield.

“I think we’re very close to a deal,” he said.

The remarks point to possible movement on one of the last major sticking points in Senate talks over crypto market structure legislation: whether stablecoin issuers or platforms should be allowed to offer yield or similar rewards. The dispute has helped delay a Senate Banking Committee markup, leaving the broader effort to set federal rules for digital asset oversight still unresolved.

US banks have pushed for restrictions, arguing that such incentives could draw deposits away from traditional institutions and disrupt the banking system. Grewal pushed back on that claim, saying there is no evidence to support fears of deposit flight.

The US House of Representatives passed the CLARITY Act on July 17, 2025. In January, Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott delayed a planned markup, which has yet to be rescheduled.

Trump blames banks for stalling crypto bill

Last month, US President Donald Trump accused banks of undermining efforts to pass crypto market structure legislation, saying they are blocking progress over disagreements on stablecoin yield payments. “The Banks should not be trying to undercut The Genius Act, or hold The Clarity Act hostage,” he wrote.

It was later reported that Trump met privately with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong just hours before issuing the statement.

In January, Armstrong said Coinbase could not back the market structure bill “as written,” pointing to draft amendments that would eliminate stablecoin rewards and let banks restrict competition.

CLARITY delay could expose crypto to crackdowns

Last week, Coin Center executive director Peter Van Valkenburgh warned that failure to pass the CLARITY Act could leave the crypto industry vulnerable to a future US administration taking a tougher stance. He argued that rejecting developer protections in favor of short-term business interests risks creating a system shaped by political shifts rather than clear law.

“The point of passing CLARITY is not to trust this administration. It is to bind the next one,” he said.

“Make A Deal Before It’s Too Late”: Trump Threatens Tehran (Again) As Iran/Oman Draft Protocol To Re-Open Hormuz

Summary

World’s most important oil price hits record high as Trump threatens Iran: “make a deal before it’s too late”

Oil drops on reports of Iran-Oman coordination to reopen strait. Iran issues Israel/Gulf logistics hubs target list; IRGC targets Amazon Cloud computing center in Bahrain

US intelligence assessments say Iran is not ready to negotiate given it believes it has the strategic upper-hand, and doesn’t believe Trump is ‘serious’ about talks: NYT

Highest bridge in Iran, connecting Tehran and Karaj, destroyed – amid reports of expanding attacks on civilian infrastructure. Iran threatens Port of Haifa in response.

UK’s Starmer chairs virtual summit of over 30 countries to discuss methods of how to reopen Hormuz Strait

No mention of ceasefire while vowing to keep hitting Iran ‘extremely hard’ in Wed. night Trump speech. Escalating tit-for-tat overnight strikes.

*  *  *

President Trump Issues Another Threat: “Make A Deal… Before There’s Nothing Left”

President Trump just issued another threat after bragging about blowing up Iran’s highest bridge:

“The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow!”

El presidente Donald Trump declaró que “es hora de que Irán llegue a un acuerdo antes de que sea demasiado tarde y no quede nada de lo que podría haber sido un gran país”.

Then he followed up with his ubiquitous FULL CAPS threat:

” 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”

This helped send Dated Brent, the price of shipments bought and sold in the North Sea and the world’s most important price for real-world oil barrels, reached $141.37 a barrel, the highest level since 2008…

So much for the calming tone so many hoped for before the long weekend.

‘Target List’ of Logistical Hubs; IRGC Initiates Strikes on Amazon Cloud Center in Bahrain

Iran says this is in response to its tall B1 bridge being attacked earlier in the day: Top targets include critical north-south rail chokepoints in Israel, especially the Yarkon Bridge, reportedly carrying most heavy IDF transport, and the Jezreel tunnel, seen as the only key route for moving fuel and ammunition inland from the Port of Haifa.

Iran media also listed an alternative logistics lifeline: the overland corridor stretching from Jebel Ali through Saudi Arabia and Jordan into Israel. With sea routes under pressure, this desert corridor has become essential to Israeli logistics.

Other reported targets include the Port of Haifa itself – the country’s primary trade and maritime hub – and the Rehout station, a central node channeling cargo to frontline areas. A large oil refinery in Haifa has already been attacked (more than once) earlier in the war. Gulf targets have also been added to the list, after on Thursday the IRGC said it initiated an attack on an Amazon Cloud computing center in Bahrain.

Iran, Oman Reportedly Coordinating on Reopening Strait of Hormuz

Emerging headlines say that Iran is drafting a protocol with Oman for the potential reopening of Strait of Hormuz traffic, per state IRNA: 

Kazem Gharibabadi, Legal and International Deputy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, pointed out that even in peaceful conditions, the traffic of ships should be monitored and coordinated with the coastal countries, Iran and Oman, and said: “Of course, these requirements will not mean restrictions, but to facilitate and ensure safe passage and provide better services to ships that pass through this route.”

And Bloomberg also confirms: “Iran is drafting a protocol with Oman to monitor traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, state-run IRNA reports, citing Iran Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi.”

Gharibabadi continued in his remarks:

“I must emphasize that the Strait of Hormuz was open and traffic was easy. It is natural that when we face an act of aggression, we face major problems and this is the result of the act of aggression. We are now at war and we cannot expect the pre-war rules to govern war conditions. We are facing two aggressor countries and some other countries that support aggression, so naturally restrictions and prohibitions should be imposed”.

Iran has also said it is readying tolls for passage, which could be something like $2 million per vessel. After earlier headlines suggesting a prolonged war (and thus Hormuz closure), this note of optimism has pushed oil prices down once again:

Tit-For-Tat Escalation of Strikes in Overnight Hours

By many accounts the overnight hours saw one of the largest Iranian missile attacks on Israel, with multiple salvos sent since midnight and many cluster munitions. Several Israelis were wounded, including reports of children and infants. Via Bloomberg:

After US President Trump last night pledged more aggressive attacks in coming weeks, Iran’s army chief ramped up threats, saying that “if the enemy attempts a ground operation, not a single person should survive,” as the US ordered thousands of troops to the region.

One particularly alarming escalation is that the Houthis have now joined in on Iran’s ballistic missile attacks, with the Yemeni group said to be coordinating the strike waves with Tehran, and alongside Hezbollah in the north. At least 50 rockets were fired out of southern Lebanon alone on northern Israel and Haifa, resulting in some injuries but no reports of fatalities. Israel has hit back, bombing at least 40 Hezbollah infrastructure targets in Lebanon in the past 24 hours, killing 10 operatives – per regional military reports.

Among overnight Iranian targets included a Ground Forces base, ballistic missile storage, and sites near Isfahan, international reports say. There have also been reports of recent strikes on Jordan, northern Iraq, as well as the Gulf states, with Qatar demanding that Tehran pay compensation for its immense losses and damage.

Oil Prices Surge After Trump Vows To Hit Iran ‘Extremely Hard’ In Speech

“Tonight, Iran’s navy is gone, their air force is in ruins, their leaders, most of them… are now dead. Their command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is being decimated as we speak,” President Trump stated in his address from the White House last night. “Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed, and their weapons factories and rocket launchers are being blown to pieces, very few of them left.” Trump said further that the United States is “on the cusp of ending Iran’s sinister threat to America and the world.”

He declared that Israel and the United States are nearing their main goals in the war against Iran and that the conflict would end soon, though he gave no clear timeline. He repeatedly emphasized the war was close to finishing in his address, but didn’t define what ‘mission accomplished’ would look like exactly. The key thing is that no concrete timeline was given.

In the speech, Trump highlighted the “swift, decisive and overwhelming” blows delivered to Iran over the past four weeks, calling them “victories like few people have ever seen before.” He did not specify when operations would end but said the US would strike Iran “extremely hard” over the next two-three weeks while negotiations continue. There was more talk of sending Iran “back to the stone age” – after in the past declaring that the US would “help” them:

“We are 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.”

The result of all this was to send oil prices back near the highs since war started…

Iran is continuing to target US bases and assets across the region – even in Jordan and Israel (tech companies):

NYT: US Intelligence Contradicts Trump, Says Tehran Not Ready to Negotiate

The New York Times has meanwhile reported that several US intelligence agencies believe Iran is currently unwilling to engage in serious negotiations. “The assessments say the Iranian government believes it is in a strong position in the war and does not have to accede to America’s diplomatic demands, the officials said. And while Iran is willing to keep channels open, they said, it does not trust the United States and does not think President Trump is serious about negotiations,” NYT says.

However, there’s a glimmer of hope, per the report: “The Iranian government could engage diplomatically under the right conditions, said two Iranian officials and a Pakistani official. Tehran wants to see that Washington is willing to talk seriously about ending the war and not just negotiate a temporary cease-fire, they said. They added that the language in public statements from Iran has been harsher than that of private messages it has passed to the United States.”

More shifting war aims and objectives…

‘Highest Bridge in Middle East’ Hit by Airstrikes

There’s more evidence of US-Israeli attacks on Iran civilian infrastructure, as it’s being reported Thursday that fresh airstrikes hit a highway bridge connecting Tehran and Karaj, according to Fars News Agency. Several people were injured, and multiple areas of Karaj were also struck. The bridge was actually just constructed, having been inaugurated earlier this year.

Fars identified it as the B1 bridge, dubbed the highest bridge in the Middle East. Tehran also continues to get pummeled hard, amid reports that the prior 24 hours saw the biggest wave of Iranian missiles and cluster munitions on Tel Aviv to date.

UK Gathers Over 30 Countries to Discuss How to Open Strait of Hormuz

Nearly three dozen countries are holding virtual meeting Thursday to coordinate diplomatic and political pressure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But notably the United States will not be represented in the virtual summit.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the meeting, chaired by Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, “will assess all viable diplomatic and political measures we can take to restore freedom of navigation, guarantee the safety of trapped ships and seafarers and to resume the movement of vital commodities.”

Iranian attacks on commercial vessels and continued threats have halted nearly all traffic (there have been some exceptions) through the waterway linking the Persian Gulf to global oceans, cutting off a critical oil route and driving petroleum prices sharply higher – with some 16 or more tankers having been directly attacked so far, per Bloomberg estimates.

Aftermath of Wednesday drone strike on oil warehouse in the Kani Qirzhala area on the outskirts of Erbil, northern Iraq:

Meanwhile Qatar has submitted another letter to the UN demanding that Iran “provide compensation for all damages” and to cease its attacks on Gulf countries.

An Arizona girl who vanished at age 13 under what authorities once called “suspicious circumstances” has been found alive more than three decades later — closing a decades-old cold case while raising new questions about where she’s been and what really happened.The Gila County Sheriff’s Office announced this week that Christina “Tina” Marie Plante, who disappeared from Star Valley, Arizona, in 1994, has been located and identified after 32 years. Authorities say she is alive and her case is now officially resolved.But beyond that, investigators are saying very little.According to the original missing person bulletin, Plante was last seen around 12:30 p.m. on May 15, 1994, leaving her home on Moonlight Drive in Star Valley on foot.

Lee Zeldin
Multiple sources confirm the 47th President is seriously considering firing Attorney General Pam Bondi and replacing her with none other than EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.
Politico reported that Pam Bondi is expected to be out as Attorney General “imminently,” while Fox News reported that President Donald Trump has already fired Bondi following a meeting on Wednesday.
While Pam Bondi was brought in to restore order after the initial withdrawal of Matt Gaetz, insiders suggest the President has grown increasingly frustrated with the slow-walking of critical investigations.
Trump has privately fumed that Bondi hasn’t been aggressive enough in going after his political enemies, the same corrupt actors who weaponized the DOJ against him for years.
Lee Zeldin’s name has repeatedly surfaced as the leading candidate to step in if Bondi is removed.
“When Trump met EPA boss Lee Zeldin on Tuesday to discuss last year’s California wildfires, Trump also discussed the potential of tapping him for the AG role, a person close to the WH tells me,” Politico’s Dasha Burns reported.

Lee Zeldin, the former New York Congressman, Iraq War veteran, and fearless America First fighter who nearly flipped the Empire State red in 2022. As EPA Administrator, Zeldin has already been dismantling the radical green agenda, slashing regulations, and putting American energy dominance first.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) weighed in on the reports, making it clear that some Republicans are ready for a change at the top of the Justice Department.

If the reports that Lee Zeldin will be replacing Pam Bondi as Attorney General are true – I welcome it.
Bondi handled the Epstein Files in a terrible manner and made this situation far worse than it had to be for President Trump.
I look forward to a new Attorney General…
