Hospital Records in Texas Measles Death Released to CHD After analyzing the medical records, Doctor Pierre Kory concludes that this child “did not die of measles.” “She did not die of measles by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, she died of pneumonia. But it gets worse than that, because she didn’t really die of pneumonia. She died of a medical error.” They gave her the wrong antibiotics.

Erdogan stunned markets when he arrested the popular mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu, 54, who is also the top contender for the presidency. The detention of Imamoglu came a day after Turkish authorities revoked his university diploma in a move that could bar him from challenging Erdogan in the next presidential election. He beat Erdogan’s handpicked candidate in last year’s Istanbul mayoral race and was set on Sunday to be named the presidential candidate for the Republican People’s Party, the main opposition group known as the CHP. The arrest ignited a historic selloff in the country’s markets, sparking a market-wide trading halt after the Borsa Istanbul which plunged 8% amid a wholesale liquidation panic, and sent the lira crashing as much as 11% to record lows.

A survey released by the Cultural Research Center in March 2025 found that 60% of Americans do not believe God exists or significantly influences their lives. This includes nearly half of self-identified Christians (47%) and 40% of theologically defined born-again Christians who share this skepticism. The General Social Survey (GSS), conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, offers a longer view of this trend. In 2022, only about 50% of Americans said they “know God exists and have no doubts,” a drop from 60% in 2008 and a peak of 65% in 1993. Meanwhile, Gallup polls have tracked a decline in broader belief in God, falling from 92% in 2011 to 81% in 2022—the lowest in its decades-long trend. These figures suggest a significant erosion of traditional religious certainty. Yet, the picture is more complex than a simple rejection of faith.

The GSS also found that while outright atheism remains a minority view (7% in 2022), many Americans still embrace spirituality in some form. About 14% believe in a “higher power” rather than a specific deity, and 26% identify as “very spiritual,” even as confidence in organized religion has plummeted to just 15% expressing “a great deal of confidence” in 2022, matching an all-time low. Barna’s call for spiritual renewal hinges on the idea that this decline in belief reflects a broader moral and cultural crisis. He points to survey findings showing that fewer than one in four Americans who believe in God see Him as a source of identity (24%), and only 19% believe He provides life boundaries.

A Southern California pastor, Terrance “Tony” Owens Elliott, aged 60, finds himself at the center of a federal investigation that could lead to a staggering 220-year prison sentence. Elliott, most recently associated with The Ship of Zion Church in San Bernardino, was arrested on March 6, 2025, and charged with 11 counts of wire fraud. Federal prosecutors allege that he scammed longtime friends and a nonprofit out of approximately $238,563 through a series of deceptive schemes, leaving a trail of financial devastation among those who trusted him. According to a report from The Christian Post published on March 12, 2025, Elliott’s arrest stems from an 11-count federal grand jury indictment issued on February 26, 2025. The indictment details how the pastor allegedly exploited personal relationships to extract nearly $240,000 from his victims. One notable scheme involved convincing a friend, identified only as “M.C.,” to place her inheritance into a family trust under Elliott’s control. He reportedly assured her that this would protect her Medicare and Social Security benefits, only to siphon off the funds for his own use. KTLA, a Los Angeles-based news outlet, reported on March 7, 2025, that Elliott’s schemes targeted individuals who had known him for years, leveraging their trust in his pastoral and political persona—he had previously run as a political candidate. The scale of the alleged fraud has shocked the community, with losses totaling over $230,000, a figure consistent across multiple reports.

This month, Israeli religious authorities plan to conduct the long-awaited red heifer sacrifice, an ancient ritual directly linked to the rebuilding of the Third Temple and the fulfillment of end-times prophecy. A massive white altar is currently under construction in Jerusalem’s Old City, preparing for a ceremony unseen since the time of Moses. The ritual is expected to shake the religious and geopolitical landscape, as it takes place on the highly contested Mount of Olives, just across from the volatile Temple Mount—home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, two of Islam’s holiest sites. In 2022, five perfect red heifers were flown into Israel from Texas. At the time, they were too young for sacrifice. But now, in 2025, they have reached the required age. Yitshak Mamo, speaking to CBN, confirmed that qualified rabbis have already been trained for the ceremony, and the land designated for the sacrifice is fully prepared. This ancient rite, described in the Book of Numbers, involves burning the heifer and using its ashes for purification—a crucial step, according to Jewish tradition, before construction of the Third Temple can begin.

On the latest episode of her podcast, Kelly said that ‘baffled doctors’ are unable to help with her condition, which she says is gradually worsening over time as her immune system slowly destroys itself. The slow decline in immunity following vaccination is caused by “altered cytokine responses”. Cytokines are small proteins that are produced by our immune system in response to infection. The more jabs a person receives, the more depleted the immune system becomes, resulting in VAIDS. Dailymail.co.uk reports: She told Dr Aseem Malhotra, a cardiologist with ties to RFK Jr, that doctors were unable to determine which specific disorder she has, but that they said it could be linked to the vaccine. The 54-year-old told an audibly shocked Dr Malhotra.

‘I asked the rheumatologist if it could be linked to the Pfizer vaccine and booster, and she said “Yes, and you’re not the only patient I have who’s had this sequence of events.” ‘I wish I hadn’t done it [gotten vaccinated], but I did.’ Kelly also revealed that thinking the Covid vaccine was safe was ‘the number one thing I’ve been wrong about.’ The CDC still recommends the vaccines for children and adults, saying the protection against Covid still outweighs the tiny risk of side effects. It comes after a bombshell Yale University study found mRNA Covid vaccines are linked to a previously unknown condition called ‘post-vaccination syndrome’ (PVS). The small study found patients with PVS showed distinct biological changes to their immune systems. But the Yale experts told DailyMail.com that the results are ‘still a work in progress,’ and it’s unclear how common PVS is. Covid is still killing about 300 Americans every week, CDC data shows. 

Kelly did not specify her symptoms or the impact the diagnosis has had on her. But the most common symptoms linked to the newly-identified PVS are brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, heart palpitations and exercise intolerance, a feeling of exhaustion after limited exercise.

Elevation Church, a prominent megachurch based in North Carolina, has terminated Youth Pastor Tim Somers following allegations of sexual abuse during his tenure at Oaks Church in Red Oak, Texas. The Christian Post reports that survivor advocate Amy Smith announced Somers’ dismissal last Thursday, citing the abuse allegations. Somers’ association with Oaks Church began in 2009, where he served as an intern until 2011 before joining the staff from 2011 to 2013. The alleged misconduct is reported to have occurred during this period. Notably, this timeframe coincides with abuse committed by another Oaks Church youth leader, Jerry Nickerson, who was terminated from his position at Hope Fellowship Church in Frisco, Texas, in January 2025 after confessing to inappropriate conduct with a minor while volunteering at Oaks Church. Elevation Church was reportedly contacted by the Red Oak Police Department regarding the allegations against Somers. While the church has not released an official statement, sources indicate that law enforcement has been notified, and an investigation is underway. This incident adds to a series of recent scandals involving megachurches in Texas. In November 2024, Gateway Church in the Dallas-Fort Worth area removed four elders from leadership following an internal investigation into sexual abuse claims against its founder, Robert Morris. Morris admitted to inappropriate sexual behavior in the 1980s with a young woman named Cindy Clemishire, who alleged abuse from ages 12 to 17. The church emphasized that such behavior is against its values and will not be tolerated. These events highlight the ongoing challenges religious institutions face in addressing allegations of misconduct within their leadership and underscore the importance of transparency and accountability in maintaining the trust of their congregations.

In December 2023, Rick Sentell, the senior pastor of Cornerstone Church of God in Cleveland, Tennessee, was indicted by a Bradley County Grand Jury on charges of possessing over 100 images of child sexual abuse on his laptop. The indictment specified that between April 1 and September 7, 2023, Sentell knowingly possessed material featuring minors engaged in sexual activity. Following the indictment, the Tennessee Church of God suspended Sentell from all ministerial activities by church policy. T. Wayne Dority, the Administrative Bishop of the Tennessee Church of God, confirmed the suspension, stating that the church was informed about Sentell’s indictment and had taken appropriate action. The Cleveland Police Department initiated the investigation after receiving a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Sentell was arrested on December 25, 2023, with bond set at $75,000. In February 2025, Sentell pleaded guilty to charges of sexual exploitation of a minor.
