ISIS ‘terrorist scum’ in Nigeria have been targeting Christians since January. To date over 7,000 have been killed. President Trump has had enough and last night announced he’d ordered targeted strikes.

“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was,” the president continued.

Yes, President Trump was very clear last month that the wholesale slaughter of Christians couldn’t and shouldn’t continue. The Nigerian government didn’t have the resources to do anything, and the UN is worthless. Meanwhile, the world over knows that ISIS is indeed a threat to the world, not just the Nigerian Christians. 

Needless to say, the reaction was mixed. 

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz also weighed in after learning about the strikes on ISIS forces in Nigeria.

“Merry Christmas to the Christians in Nigeria and around the world who know tonight that the President of the United States will fight for them,” he said in a post on X.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said Thursday, “I commend President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and our brave troops for these strikes against bloodthirsty ISIS savages who are not only persecuting Christians, but also have killed many Americans.”

Persecution of Christians in Nigeria has been happening for years now. As Toni reminded us in November, all the Obama Administration would do is run an asinine hashtag campaign that was supposed to shame the Boko Haram into being better. Hillary even claimed Boko wasn’t a terrorist organization. Uh huh. None of that worked. At. All. Why? Boko made it clear their allegiance was with ISIS. 

Flash forward to this year and ISIS starts going after Christians with a vengeance. While the media mentions it, not much is noted about it enough to gain the worlds attention. Until there was enough of an outcry and we even have the address to the UN about these ISIS terror attacks from…world renown rapper Nicki Minaj. 

Many in the media and liberals the world over dismissed her remarks as pandering. Yet she was absolutely serious and has facts to back up her statements. The liberals just aren’t able to deal with that nor her appearance on stage with *GASP! Erica Kirk! Never mind that Nicki spoke eloquently about standing up for Christians around the world, her message must be dismissed because REASONS and narrative. 

But last night, President Trump launched targeted strikes against the ISIS terrorists targeting Christians in Nigeria.

The Pentagon coordinated with the Nigerian government ahead of the strikes.

“The Department of War worked with the government of Nigeria to carry out these strikes,” a War Department official told The Post.

“These strikes were approved by the government of Nigeria.”

And guess what? The liberals just cannot DEAL. 

There’s no authority for strikes on terrorists in Nigeria or anywhere on earth.

The 2001 AUMF is only for the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks.

The War Powers Resolution doesn’t grant any authority beyond the Constitution. Offensive military actions need congressional approval.… pic.twitter.com/CUbx3yQXC9

Justin needs to have a chat with Obama and Clinton before going any further. But he’s not the only one. 

.@realDonaldTrump does a deadly strike on ISIS in Nigeria for targeting Christians. What legal authority is there for an American president to unilaterally kill people in a foreign country for religious reasons? And will Congress continue to whistle past the graveyard? pic.twitter.com/1SnMGMXiAX

Really Moe? REALLY?? Did you just flat out forget that 9/11 happened because of religious reasons? Muslims declared intifada against America while we were still the 13 Colonies. Why? Because none of our religions were theirs. None of them. 

But that it’s stopping the liberal left from clutching all the pearls over the fact that President Trupm ordered targeted attacks against ISIS terrorists who’ve specifically targeted Christians in Nigeria.

Air strikes on Christmas Day because a few months ago, Trump tweeted about a nonexistent Christian genocide in Nigeria. Give this man the Nobel Peace Prize already!! https://t.co/4T4LOR6lly

Hey Tommy?? Want to check out what Pope Leo said about the matter? Meanwhile, he and many others have ignored the fact that ISIS terrorist attacks against Christians have been going on for quite some time. Not only that, but there have been Muslims targeted as well. 

What does the UN say? Nothing. What do other world governments say or do? Nothing. 

Because all they’ve had as their political choice is useless hashtag activism or radio silence. 

Keep in mind, these strikes come just a day after a Nigerian mosque was targeted in an apparent suicide attack.

Americans will kill you on Christmas.

Those who wield the darkness would do well to remember that.

But instead of applauding the fact that ISIS ‘terrorist scum’ have been obliterated, thus saving thousands of lives, the liberals are clutching all the pearls over this and bemoaning the fate of the poor dead terrorists.
