This past Easter weekend brought a series of events that underscore the ongoing struggle between traditional values and the forces seeking to undermine them. The Supreme Court’s late-night decision to block the Trump administration’s deportation of Venezuelan migrants—some alleged to have criminal or terrorist ties—was a stunning move that left many Americans questioning the priorities of our highest court. In a ruling issued in the early hours of Good Friday, the majority sided with left-wing activists, effectively halting the removal of individuals who, by all rights, should not be in this country. The dissent from Justices Alito and Thomas was a much-needed voice of reason, highlighting the hasty and questionable nature of this intervention and the lack of respect for the rule of law.
Such judicial activism is exactly why trust in our institutions continues to erode. The Supreme Court’s decision, made without full briefing or lower court input, prioritized the rights of those who broke our laws over the safety and security of American citizens. This pattern is all too familiar: the courts bending over backward to accommodate the demands of progressive legal groups while the concerns of everyday Americans are brushed aside. It’s a stark reminder that the battle to restore law and order in this country is far from over, and that even the most basic expectations of justice are being undermined from the bench.
Meanwhile, the resignation of Klaus Schwab from the World Economic Forum marks the end of an era for the globalist elite. Schwab, long the architect of the Davos agenda, leaves behind an organization increasingly viewed as out of touch and self-serving. His abrupt departure, amid allegations of financial misconduct and abuse of power, only reinforces what many have suspected for years: that the WEF’s vision of “global governance” is less about solving real problems and more about consolidating power among a privileged few. For those who value national sovereignty, individual liberty, and economic freedom, Schwab’s exit is a welcome development—but the fight against globalist overreach is far from finished.
The death of Pope Francis on Easter Monday adds another layer of uncertainty to a world already in flux. Francis’s papacy was marked by controversy and division, as he repeatedly pushed the Catholic Church in a more progressive direction, often at the expense of longstanding doctrine and tradition. Many faithful Catholics now worry about the future of their church, given that the majority of cardinals who will elect the next pope were appointed by Francis himself. The coming conclave will be a critical moment: will the Church return to its roots, or continue down a path of doctrinal ambiguity and accommodation to the spirit of the age?
Taken together, these events serve as a sobering reminder of the challenges facing those who cherish faith, family, and freedom. Whether it’s the courts undermining immigration enforcement, globalist institutions losing their grip, or religious leaders steering ancient traditions into uncharted waters, the need for vigilance and principled leadership has never been greater. Conservatives must continue to call out these threats, defend the values that built Western civilization, and refuse to surrender to the relentless march of progressive ideology. The battle against evil—whether it appears in the guise of judicial activism, elitist schemes, or doctrinal confusion—remains as urgent as ever.
