WHCD shooting suspect planned to target Trump officials, manifesto reveals
Allen's brother reportedly contacted police before the shooting to warn about an alleged manifesto outlining the plan
By Amanda Macias Fox News
Published April 26, 2026 12:19pm EDTThe suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting told law enforcement after his arrest Saturday night that he intended to target Trump administration officials, senior federal law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.
Authorities identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., adding that he prepared a manifesto outlining his intent and shared anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media.
As the dinner was underway, Allen allegedly rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton while armed with multiple weapons and opened fire, striking a Secret Service officer in his ballistic vest.
Agents returned fire and tackled Allen to the ground. The suspect and the injured officer were transported to a hospital. The Secret Service agent is expected to recover.
The incident adds to a growing list of threats against President Donald Trump, including two confirmed assassination attempts and a recent incident involving an armed intruder at Mar-a-Lago.
Overnight, the FBI and local law enforcement secured Allen’s home in Torrance, California. A federal judge in the Central District of California is expected to approve a search warrant, which would allow investigators to search the residence.
The White House said Sunday that Allen’s brother contacted the New London Police Department in Connecticut prior to the shooting, reporting that Allen had sent family members an alleged manifesto outlining his intent to target administration officials.
Officials also said Allen’s social media included anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric. President Trump speaking on Fox News’ "The Sunday Briefing," described Allen as "a very troubled guy," citing the manifesto.
Allen’s sister, Avriana Allen, told investigators in Rockville, Maryland, that her brother had made increasingly radical statements and often spoke about doing "something" to address issues in the world.
She said he had purchased two handguns and a shotgun, which he stored at their parents’ home without their knowledge, and that he regularly trained at a shooting range.
She also told authorities that Allen was affiliated with a group called "The Wide Awakes" and had attended a "No Kings" protest in California.

Investigators believe Allen traveled from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., by train, with a stop in Chicago, according to acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche. He said the investigation is ongoing and that more details are expected as formal charges are filed.
Blanche also noted that while the motive remains under investigation, authorities preliminarily believe Allen was targeting administration officials.

Wisconsin Dem's bar laments 'we almost got free beer day' for Trump assassination
Owner Kirk Bangstad, a former Democratic Assembly candidate, has long promised free beer when Trump dies
By Eric Mack Fox News
Published April 26, 2026 1:29pm EDTTrump urges nation to 'resolve our differences' after shooting at WH Correspondents' Dinner
President Donald Trump and other officials update the press on the emergency evacuation at the canceled White House Correspondents' Dinner and says it will be rescheduled within 30 days.
A Wisconsin brewery and taproom known for promising "free beer" when President Donald Trump dies is drawing renewed scrutiny for posting on Facebook "we almost got #freebeerday."
The Minocqua Brewing Company is owned by Wisconsin Democrat Kirk Bangstad, a former state Assembly candidate who has repeatedly used the brewery’s brand to attack Trump and Republicans. The brewery's social media lamented Saturday night's foiled attack at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
"Well, we almost got #freebeerday," the company's post read, although Fox News could not immediately identify the poster's tie to the owner. "Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle. We’ll never know."
IDAHO BAR OWNER FACES DEATH THREATS AFTER VIRAL PROMO OFFERING FREE BEER FOR ASSISTING ICE

"Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens," the post concluded.
Bangstad was the Democrat nominee for Wisconsin’s 34th Assembly District in 2020, according to Ballotpedia, but lost the general election.
Minocqua Brewing sells politically themed merchandise, including shirts saying, "I wish it was free beer day," and pitches its progressive brand that pairs beer with activism and "snarky progressive merch."

Fox News Digital previously reported on the brewery’s "free beer day" vow. In January, Fox News highlighted a Minocqua Brewing message offering "free beer, all day long, the day he dies," and noted Bangstad’s comment that he would welcome people to celebrate Trump’s "impending death" with one caveat: "no red hats allowed."
Fox News also identified Bangstad as the founder of the Minocqua Brewing Company super PAC, which targets Trump and Republicans. Also, Bangstad once sued to keep Trump off the Wisconsin ballots before the 2024 presidential election.
The fresh backlash followed Saturday night’s security scare at the WHCA dinner in Washington, where Trump and first lady Melania Trump were evacuated after shots were fired outside the ballroom.
Fox News reached out Sunday to Bangstad, the brewery and the Wisconsin Democratic Party. In a January statement to Fox News, Bangstad welcomed the celebration of the "impending death" of Trump.
PENTAGON CALLS CHARLIE KIRK POSTS ‘DOMESTIC TERRORISM’; DEM WARNS DISCIPLINE IS ‘UN-AMERICAN’
Bangstad and Minocqua Brewing have drawn repeated scrutiny beyond their anti-Trump messaging. Wisconsin Public Radio reported Bangstad was charged last year in a harassment case tied to a dispute with a local newspaper publisher, and Wisconsin newspaper reporting said he later entered a no-contest plea in a disorderly conduct case and was found guilty earlier this month.
JB PRITZKER CONDEMNS POLITICAL VIOLENCE AFTER CHARLIE KIRK'S DEATH, SAYS TRUMP'S RHETORIC 'OFTEN FOMENTS IT'
Trump-backed House candidate Michael Alfonso called out the normalization of Bangstad's rhetoric in the state.
"This brewery is owned by a man named Kirk Bangstad, and he’s not just some random crazy guy," Alfonso posted on X. "Kirk is friends with current Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Francesca Hong. He previously employed Rebecca Cooke, the Democrat currently running against Derrick Van Orden, and was himself the Democratic nominee against my father-in-law, Sean Duffy, in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District—where I am now running for office."
TRUMP RALLY GUNMAN ACTED ALONE, FBI SAYS — BUT QUESTIONS ABOUT MOTIVE PERSIST
Wisconsin Republicans and the Republican National Committee are calling out the ties to Bangstad.
"Wisconsin Democrats are so sick in the head that an attempted murder is funny to them," RNC spokeswoman Delanie Bomar told Fox News Digital on Sunday morning.
"All Wisconsin Democrats, including Rebecca Cooke, must immediately condemn this disgusting behavior."

Massive tornadoes rip through Oklahoma, destroying homes and leaving entire towns on edge as millions across four states are issued urgent warning
By MELISSA KOENIG, US REPORTER
Published: 00:03 EDT, 24 April 2026 | Updated: 03:10 EDT, 24 April 2026
Massive tornadoes ripped through Oklahoma on Thursday night, flattening homes, lifting cars and leaving residents on edge as millions of people across four states remained under tornado warnings.
The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado formed over the town of Braman in Kay County, Oklahoma near the Kansas border at around 7.30pm on Thursday.
The town was already without power at the time, which prevented the sirens from sounding as the tornado entered town, officials said.
Just about an hour later, the weather service confirmed that another tornado formed at 8.40pm on the southeastern side of Enid, a city of roughly 50,000 people, where it struck Vance Air Force Base.
Only minor damage was reported at the base, but just to the east, the Grayridge neighborhood suffered heavy damage with homes flattened, KOSU reports.
Storm trackers reported that the massive vortex, which merged with a smaller one, was on the ground for about 40 minutes.
Overall, there were 17 reported tornadoes Thursday night between Oklahoma and Iowa, as a severe weather threat stretched all the way from Texas to the Great Lakes and dozens of tornado warnings remained in place across Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska
The National Weather Service warned the storms was life-threatening and could produce golf ball-sized hail.
'TAKE COVER NOW!' the National Weather Service warned online. 'Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows.
'If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris.'
Enid emergency management officials said about a dozen people were injured in the storm, but there were no known fatalities.
INTEGRIS Health Enid Hospital also reported that one individual was admitted to the medical center with lacerations on his leg after a wall fell during the tornado.
Shocking videos shared online showed the swirling black vortex lifting up debris from the streets as dark clouds filled the sky.
KOCO News Chief Meteorologist Damon Lane said the tornado over Enid, which he was tracking live on air, is 'the strongest storm we have seen in a very long time here in Oklahoma.'
Behind him, video showed the storm ranging and leaving houses in ruins in its wake.
'Oh, is that a house that was just hit?' Lane said as he watched the tornado rage on. 'Oh my goodness.'
The sight left Lane momentarily speechless, as he was seen holding his fist up to his mouth.
'OK yeah, that house is flattened - that house is completely flattened,' he then said as he regained his composure, noting that the tornado was 'getting bigger and bigger and bigger right now.'
Other footage shared online showed one of the massive tornadoes lifting up a vehicle into its swirling vortex, and a tornado approaching homes at Vance Air Force Base on Thursday night.
But Enid Mayor David Mason said he had been in contact with Colonel Josh Lundeby, the 71st Flying Training Wing commander at Vance Air Force Base, and was informed that the base sustained minimal damage to the fences.
Still, authorities announced Thursday night that the base was closed indefinitely due to ongoing power and water restoration efforts.
'Only mission essential personnel required to support critical operations and restoration of base utilities should report for duty,' the base posted online.
'All other personnel should remain at home and monitor official base communication channels for updates and reporting instructions.'
Nobody was injured at the base and no aircraft or homes were damaged, according to Enid News & Eagle.
When search and rescue operations then got underway on Thursday night, a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for the Grayridge neighborhood.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has offered his prayers for the Enid community, which he said 'has been severely impacted by tonight's tornado.'
'I have spoken with Enid’s local leaders and will continue working with them as they assess the damage and identify needs,' he said in a statement.
'My prayers are with everyone on Vance Air Force Base and the surrounding neighborhood, and I am asking God to bring healing and comfort in the days ahead.'
In the meantime, the American Red Cross said it is providing disaster assistance to those affected by the storm.

The Democrat Party's Israel Problem Just Exploded
David Brody
04-23-2026
A political shift inside the halls of Congress is becoming harder to ignore—and for Israel, it's not good news.
Democrats are increasingly moving in the opposite direction when it comes to support for the Jewish state, signaling what many see as a full-scale reversal within the party.
California Congressman Ro Khanna summed up the current sentiment bluntly: "We're a party that believes in two states in peace," Khanna told ABC News. "But let me tell you what we're not for. We're not for aid to Israel. They've got a $45 billion defense budget. Why are we giving them money?"
The tone on social media is even sharper. New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted the following: "I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and U.S. Law."
Then came what many are calling a seismic shift. In a recent Senate vote to limit weapons sales to Israel, a striking 40 Democrats voted in favor. That number didn't come out of nowhere—it's been building year after year.
In 2024, 19 Democrats supported limiting arms to Israel. In 2025, that number climbed to 24. Now, in 2026, it has surged to 40. That's all but seven Democrats in the Senate. Notably, the group includes Jewish senators who have long identified as pro-Israel—names like Adam Schiff, Elissa Slotkin, Ron Wyden, and Jon Ossoff.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman has emerged as a rare voice within his party pushing back against the trend. "Why aren't you criticizing Iran? Why aren't you criticizing Hamas or Hezbollah or these other kinds of forces?" Fetterman asked on CNN. "If you have to pick a side here, criticize that. So that's where we're at as a Democratic Party. And you're going to vote against the kinds of critical aid that Israel requires to need to beat back and destroy organizations like Hezbollah."

Trump Is The Most Pro-Israel President In American History—But The World Is Not Applauding
By
Robert Gottselig April 24, 2026Last Saturday, President Trump posted to Truth Social: “Whether people like Israel or not, they have proven to be a GREAT Ally of the United States of America. They are Courageous, Bold, Loyal, and Smart, and, unlike others that have shown their true colors in a moment of conflict and stress, Israel fights hard and knows how to WIN!”
No matter what you may think of him, one thing is certain: President Trump has been the most pro-Israel president in American history. For that, I am extremely grateful, especially in a world that blames Israel for everything.
Here is a brief list of Trump’s pro-Israel achievements in his first and second terms in office:
Recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
Moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
Recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights
Brokered the Abraham Accords
Withdrew from the disastrous Iran nuclear (JCPOA)
Shifted the American stance on Israeli settlements
Cut funding to Palestinian-related terror programs
Closed the PLO office in Washington
Strengthened military and strategic ties with Israel
Was the first sitting president to visit the Western Wall
Backed Israel throughout the Gaza war
Reversed some of the Biden-era restrictions on Israel
Cracked down on college campus anti-Israel movements
Took on the Iranian regime with Israel to prevent them from creating a nuclear bomb to be used not only on Israel but also on the West.
Yet, much of the world is not applauding this impressive list of accomplishments; they despise him for it, and they blame Israel for America’s involvement in this current war with Iran.
Throughout all of this, God is taking note, and you can be sure that blessings and curses will follow how the world treats Israel and the Jewish people (Matthew 25:31-46). Israel is not perfect—no nation is—but God still commands us to comfort His chosen people (Isaiah 40:1). God also promises to judge all those who come against them.
While all eyes are on the Middle East, wondering if this war with Iran will come to some sort of peace agreement or resume, we need to remember that allowing the Iranian regime—that cries “death to Israel” and “death to America—to continue unchecked without any intervention is naive, to say the least. It’s living in a fantasy world, and it’s national suicide.
When your enemy has spent almost 50 years calling for your death and destruction while spending billions trying to achieve that, you had better listen to them. The United States and Israel are doing the world a favor by confronting this demonic regime while there is still time.
I’m calling on believers around the world to lift this up in prayer. If we don’t, who will? In Psalm 122:6-7, we read, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.” There is a promise of blessing for those who stand with Israel and intercede for them.
Thank you, President Trump, for standing with Israel. We should call on all leaders around the world to do the same.

China presses Iran in secret talks as Trump gets dramatic assurances
Three diplomatic sources from the region say China is involved behind the scenes in the contacts between Iran and the US, and is trying, among other things, to pressure the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to soften their position. Trump is willing to grant a brief extension of just a few days, sources in Washington say, but recent developments indicate even those few days could drag on.
by Danny Zaken Published on 04-22-2026 22:40 Last modified: 04-23-2026 00:01
Three diplomatic sources from the region say China is quietly involved in the contacts between Iran and the US, including efforts to persuade commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to show greater flexibility.
According to those sources, China warned that if the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz continues, it will expand its search for alternative sources of oil and gas and may even suspend the cooperation agreement it signed with Iran. At the same time, China is warning Iran's leadership not to reach a deal that would allow the Americans a foothold in Iran's oil industry.
That concern stems from an Iranian proposal delivered to the US even before the war, under which American companies would enter Iran's oil sector, rehabilitate and develop it, and earn substantial returns. Israel Hayom has reported that the proposal also resurfaced in contacts over the past few weeks. The Iranians are conditioning the entry of American companies on the release of frozen funds and the lifting of sanctions.
A ceasefire extension
In the meantime, US President Donald Trump announced a de facto extension of the ceasefire. We have learned that this happened after Pakistan's army chief, Gen. Asim Munir, assured him that he would persuade Revolutionary Guard commanders to accept the basic conditions the US is demanding as a prerequisite for entering negotiations. According to the diplomatic sources, Trump is prepared to allow a short extension of a few days, people in Washington say, but developments indicate that even a few days could stretch longer.
According to diplomatic sources from the region, the main obstacle to renewing the talks is the refusal of Revolutionary Guard commanders, particularly Ahmad Vahidi, to compromise on the issue of enriched uranium and enrichment itself. The senior political figures conducting the negotiations, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, are prepared to reach understandings on halting enrichment for a limited period and transferring the enriched uranium, which they say was buried at Fordo in Israeli Air Force and US strikes, to a third party.
Vahidi believes closing the Strait of Hormuz will eventually force the Americans to give ground on that issue, or at least compromise more. According to reports from Iran, he is the only person linking Mojtaba Khamenei with other levels of the leadership, assuming Mojtaba is in fact still alive and functioning.
The results of the blockade on Iran
Those internal disagreements were what Trump appeared to be referring to in his statements over the past 24 hours. At this stage, it is unclear what the reports claiming negotiations will resume on Friday are based on, since Vahidi has shown no signs of softening, despite the worsening state of the economy and the rapid depletion of Iran's treasury. According to internal Iranian assessments, it will be enough to pay salaries for only a few more weeks. The Revolutionary Guards have their own funds, but the halt in oil exports is draining those reserves quickly as well.
Miad Maleki, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former senior sanctions strategist at the US Treasury Department, said at an Iran International conference in Washington that Iran has threatened for decades to close the Strait of Hormuz, but never prepared its economy for the consequences, including a naval blockade.
He said the answer is becoming clearer as the war, the blockade, the currency crisis and the damage to key export sectors have put pressure on Iran faster than on its rivals. While the disruptions in Hormuz created serious risks for global energy markets, Maleki argued that Iran's own economic exposure to the waterway has made Tehran more vulnerable than the countries it was trying to pressure.
"The clock is ticking much faster on Iran's economic side than on the American side," Maleki said. "But we know historically that the Iranian regime does not really care how much Iranians are starving or coping with severe economic hardship."
Jason Brodsky, a senior American strategist, said at the conference that Trump was probably willing to withstand pressure for longer than many expected because he is in his second term and focused on his legacy. He argued that Washington had achieved through force what diplomacy alone had failed to achieve, including pushing Tehran to consider, according to the reports, suspending uranium enrichment. "President Trump is willing to keep this going much longer than most people expect," Brodsky said. "He is prepared to take that risk because he is now at the legacy-building stage."
The US Treasury Department, together with the War Department, is planning to intensify the blockade by taking control of Iran's "shadow fleet," several dozen tankers that transfer Iranian oil to other vessels in the middle of the Indian Ocean. As of now, the Americans have already seized one cargo ship.

UBS Warns Drought Shock Unfolding Across Breadbasket Of America
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
It's not just us sounding the alarm about severe drought conditions hitting America's breadbasket as spring plantings ramp up, or warning about the second- and third-order effects that could push food prices higher later this year.
UBS analysts, led by Jonathan Pingle, told clients on Thursday morning that drought conditions across the US agricultural belt rank among the worst in more than 130 years:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Palmer Drought Severity Index hit its highest level for March since records started in 1895, and March was the third driest month recorded, regardless of time of year, behind only the famed 1930s Dust Bowl": July and August 1934. Water levels on the Mississippi look fine, the seasonal lows are typically in the fall, but river levels in Memphis sit 24 feet below this time last year.
The primary effect of drought conditions on farmland is a direct hit to production: reduced soil moisture, weaker germination, lower yields, poorer crop quality, reduced pasture and forage, and greater stress on the nation's cattle herd (already seen with soaring beef prices).
USDA says drought can slash planted or harvested acreage, reduce livestock productivity, and raise feed and irrigation costs; it can also reduce crop yields and quality, with some perennial crops taking years to recover.
Then the third-order effects emerge: lower farm output and higher production costs (diesel and fertilizer), which can be transmitted through food supply chains into higher retail food prices, tighter supplies for processors, and pressure on food security.
Pingle continued:
Drought severity sees much of the country; April very warm The USDA Weekly Weather and Crop Report highlights the unusual warmth during the April employment report survey reference period, which should be on net supportive of the data this month, and potentially postpone pull forward from March until May or June. The pay period including the 12th of the month is the payroll survey point and the week including the 12th of the month is the survey reference for the household survey, where the unemployment rate is estimated. In figure 4 below we show the deviation from normal temperature, and the populated east saw very warm weather highs in Concordia, KS (91°F), and Lincoln, NE (90°F). Warmth covered much of the Midwest on April 14, when daily-record highs soared to 88°F in Des Moines, IA, and Cape Girardeau, MO. By mid-week, some of the earliest 90-degree heat on record affected the middle Atlantic States. With a high of 90°F on April 15, Georgetown, DE, set a record for its earliest-ever high of 90°F or greater (previously, 94°F on April 17, 2002). Wilmington, DE (90°F on April 15), experienced its second-earliest 90-degree reading, behind only April 10, 2013. Similarly, Atlantic City, NJ (90°F on April 15) tied 1967 for its second-earliest 90-degree temperature, behind April 7, 2010," said the report.
"However, extremely dry conditions persisted Plains, with cascading impacts on rangeland, pastures, and winter wheat. Notably, jointing wheat in eastern Colorado, western Kansas, and southwestern Nebraska that has been greatly stressed by persistent dryness and periods of record-setting warmth experienced another setback at week's end, when hard freezes occurred. Drought also continued to worsen in much of the South, particularly across the southern Atlantic States," said the report.
Worth watching, the drought could lead to supply pressure and price pressure from the agricultural sector, on top of other pressures of concern at the moment. Last week, the USDA wrote in the Weekly Weather and Crop Report "Most immediately, portions of the South had little moisture for pastures, winter grains, and the germination and establishment of spring-sown crops. Despite patchy precipitation on the Plains, a significant portion of the winter wheat crop continued to exhibit drought stress, with the crop heading ahead of schedule as far north as Oklahoma. By April 12, roughly one-half of the winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition in Texas (54 percent), Oklahoma (48 percent), Nebraska (47 percent), and Colorado (44 percent)."

Patriots Of The World, Unite! Globalists Are At War With Western Civilization, Those Liars Betray Us All - They Are Our Enemies
By J.B. Shurk (American Thinker) - All News Pipeline
Irish farmers and truckers are blocking major thoroughfares as part of growing protests against their government’s mass immigration policies, “green energy” regulations, and “climate change” taxes. Miles-long convoys of German drivers have blockaded the streets surrounding Chancellor Merz’s residence in Berlin to demand his removal from office. In Manchester thousands of patriotic Brits continue to take to the streets with a sea of white flags bearing red crosses — Saint George’s Cross, the national flag of England.
Across Europe, similar protests against mass immigration, costly bureaucratic regulations, and economically suicidal energy policies pop up without much warning and quickly take over national highways and city streets. One of the common and visually striking features of these protests is the multitude of national flags. From one set of eyes staring at the array of protesters waving their country’s flags in the air, the scene looks like a never-ending quilt of unbridled patriotism.
For the most part, European and North American corporate newsrooms refuse to cover these newsworthy protests. Their concerted efforts to hide what is happening across the West stand in contrast to the ways they actively promote small gatherings of NGO-funded provocateurs pushing globalism’s favorite pet projects: calling white people “racist,” supporting taxpayer-funded abortion, threatening to murder “populists,” calling for the end of private property, demanding amnesty for illegal aliens, and equating the use of hydrocarbon fuels to genocide.
When the Soros family or other globalist billionaires pay rioters to take to the streets, corporate newsrooms (often owned, directly or indirectly, by the same billionaires paying for the street theater) cover the anti-Western mayhem as if globalist temper tantrums were exotic breaking news (when, in reality, Western citizens are keenly aware that globalists excel at whining, breaking things, trespassing, stealing, and assaulting people). When pro-illegal immigration crowds show up to burn the national flags of Great Britain, France, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, news cameras catch the action. When those same throngs of foreigners wave the flags of their home countries, news cameras record the scene as if it were some righteous and historic fight for “diversity” and “multiculturalism.” When the peoples of Europe whose ancestors have lived on the continent for several thousand years wave the flags of their political states, however, “reporters” pretend that the assembly of citizens is doing nothing but “promoting hate.”
What an interesting time to be alive. For all of human history, when a group of foreigners occupied the territorial home of another people and waved the emblems of their foreign states in the faces of the natives, we recognized that event as an “invasion.” Today, Western governments — stewing in the poisons of globalism and advancing a religion of self-immolation — treat invaders as citizens and citizens as nuisances. Across Europe, North America, and Australasia, globalist governments have lowered their drawbridges for outsiders while throwing insiders into the moats. It is easy to imagine French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, or European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hiding in medieval castle keeps while instructing self-loathing guards to fire arrows only at the people waving French, British, or European flags. How else would one expect European “leaders” to behave when European governments allow foreigners to rape and murder citizens while arresting citizens who object to being raped and murdered? More and more citizens are recognizing the total disregard that globalist governments have for their safety.
This “awakening” that is happening throughout the West — wherein ordinary citizens have begun to rebel against their governments’ suicidal policies — is picking up steam. It seems to reflect a social consciousness that is increasingly aware that home governments have long been behaving as enemies. “Enemy” is a strong word reserved for those who oppose us with great hostility or malice. Generally, “enemies” lie on the other side of a country’s borders or across entire oceans. But when Western governments invite mortal enemies inside their nations’ borders, those governments aid and abet the very people who wish us harm. Traditionally, we call government officeholders who betray citizens “traitors.” Traitors, of course, are enemies, too.
Globalism, by design, works to destroy national borders. Its proponents pursue this goal through increasingly overt ways. between most countries. Originally touted as a way to allow the citizens of Europea In Europe, the Schengen treaties and rules incorporated into European Union law have eliminated internal border controls nations to travel freely throughout the continent, it was always a mass migration weapon that has enabled globalists to flood the discrete nations of Europe with foreigners from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. In North America, the United Nations and globalist-funded NGOs spend billions of dollars each year in assisting migrants from South and Central America to travel through Mexico and flood the United States. In both Europe and North America, the same wealthy, powerful globalists pursue one goal: to replace native citizens with so many foreign peoples that it becomes impossible for any nation to maintain a distinct identity.
Globalists are internationalists. They seek to create a new world order with global government, international agencies, and international law. One way to accomplish these objectives is to erase national borders and to invite an international population to resettle inside a formerly sovereign nation. By doing so, both foreign allegiances and international laws are injected into the domestic governing system, whether the native population desires that result or not.
Just as the devil is the father of lies, globalism is the philosophy of liars. Those liars call illegal immigrants “asylum seekers.” They call foreigners who are financially dependent on government welfare “contributors,” “taxpayers,” and “economic boons.” They call citizens who wish to enforce their country’s borders and protect their country’s culture “racists,” “bigots,” “fascists,” “Nazis,” and “xenophobes” (as if foreigners are known for flocking to racist, bigoted, fascist lands filled with Nazis who discriminate against outsiders). Globalist liars pretend that borders are antiquated relics of “colonialism” and “imperialism,” even though it is foreigners who are colonizing nations by building little ethnic empires that refuse to assimilate.
At some point, the people being slowly conquered through the one-two punch of “open borders” and “mass migration” (or what we might call “globalist-assisted national suicide”) were going to look around and realize that the countries they once knew are quickly disappearing. If current trends continue, the ten largest cities in the United Kingdom will have Muslim majorities within the next few decades. Similar trends are completely upending the demographics and cultures of France, Germany, Spain, and every other European nation that traded sovereignty for the Trojan Horse of the Schengen Agreement.
In the United States, Minnesota and Maine have Somali enclaves that have become so politically powerful that Minneapolis Mayor (and Democrat Party globalist) Jacob Frey delivered parts of his victory speech last November in the Somali tongue. While globalist liars demonize Americans as “colonizers,” Somalis (with the help of their globalist patrons and Minnesota Democrats’ fondness for welfare fraud) have actually colonized what once was one of the “whitest” regions of the nation. Whenever illegal aliens commit crimes in the United States, globalist prosecutors sweep those crimes under the rug, globalist newsrooms pretend they never happened, and globalist politicians repeat ad nauseam, “Diversity is our strength.”
“Diversity” can be a strength. It is nice to have a diverse collection of weapons when under attack. A diverse collection of experts is helpful when designing architectural marvels, such as giant walls. It is not likely, however, that many people behind a castle’s gates have ever looked at an approaching army and concluded, “We won’t survive without more diversity.” People who are interested in protecting their civilizations do not invite other civilizations to take over their castles.
Globalists, however, are at war with Western civilization. Those liars betray us all. They are our enemies.

“Like a Swarm of Bees”: Ancient Biblical Warning Plays Out on Streets of Southern Israel
Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz
Israel News April 19, 2026 4 min read
Thousands of bees engulfed the commercial center of Netivot this week, sending residents scrambling and shutting down businesses as massive swarms blanketed streets, parked vehicles, storefronts, and residential balconies, bringing the southern city to a standstill.
Footage of the event spread rapidly across Israeli social media, showing dense clouds of insects hovering over the shopping complex while stunned residents watched from a distance. The municipality issued urgent warnings to residents and store owners to keep windows and doors sealed and instructed the public to stay away from affected areas until professional teams could address the situation. Reports confirmed the swarms spread into residential neighborhoods throughout the city, appearing on balconies and open spaces across Netivot.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, with thousands of insects descending on the city simultaneously. Authorities moved quickly to contain public alarm, with relevant municipal teams dispatched to manage the situation.
Experts explained that large swarms of this kind are a sign of a healthy, expanding bee population. When colonies grow rapidly during peak nectar seasons, they produce additional queens and divide, triggering highly visible swarming events across populated areas. Israel’s geography amplifies the phenomenon: the country sits along a major migratory corridor for pollinators moving between Africa, Europe and Asia. Dense agriculture — citrus groves, wildflowers, irrigated farmland — creates ideal feeding conditions that can support unusually large bee populations at certain times of year. Specialists also noted that swarming bees are typically focused on protecting their queen and finding a new nesting site, making them far less aggressive than bees defending an established hive.
Bees and honey appear more than 60 times in the Bible, woven through its narratives as symbols of divine blessing, military threat, wisdom, and providence. The dual nature of the bee — producer of the sweetest substance in the ancient world, yet capable of swarming in overwhelming numbers — made it a uniquely powerful image for the biblical writers.
The most direct parallel to what unfolded in Netivot this week comes from Devarim (Deuteronomy): “And the Amorites who dwell in that mountain came out against you and chased you as bees do, and beat you down.” (Deuteronomy 1:44). The bee swarm here describes the terrifying, disorienting experience of being overwhelmed by a relentless enemy on all sides, with no single point of attack to defend against. The Sages understood this as a picture of total encirclement. Tehillim (Psalms) returns to the same image: “They surrounded me like bees; they were extinguished like a fire of thorns.” (Psalm 118:12). The enemy swarms, but the swarm does not last.
Isaiah takes the bee imagery in a chilling, different direction. In Isaiah 7:18, God “hisses” — the Hebrew
שָׁרַק, sharák, meaning to whistle or signal — for the bee that is in Assyria. The bee is summoned and not acting on its own instinct. It is being called by God as an instrument of judgment. The bee in this verse is a divine agent, dispatched with purpose.In Judges 14, Samson kills a lion with his bare hands on the road to Timna. When he returns days later, he finds that a swarm of bees has made a hive inside the lion’s carcass and filled it with honey. He eats the honey and brings some to his parents. From this he fashions the most famous riddle in the Bible: “Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet.” (Judges 14:14).
The Sages read Samson’s honey as a picture of divine irony operating at the highest level. The lion — the most fearsome predator, the embodiment of death and violence — becomes the vessel for sweetness. Destruction is transformed into nourishment. The very source of threat becomes the source of blessing. This is not an accident of nature. It is a statement about how God operates in history: that He does not merely overcome evil, He repurposes it. Oz — strength — becomes matok — sweetness. The carcass of the enemy feeds the warrior of Israel.
The image of swarms of stinging bees seems especially poignant in light of Israel’s ongoing war. Israel is being swarmed. Swarms of Hamas terrorists launched the most savage attack on Jewish civilians since the Holocaust on October 7th, and Israel has been fighting a multi-front war ever since. The Houthis fire “swarms” of missiles from Yemen. Hezbollah fired tens of thousands of rockets from Lebanon before the IDF degraded their capacity. Iran, like the queen bee, funds, arms and directs the entire network. The image from Deuteronomy — enemies coming “like bees,” from every direction, relentlessly, is a description that fits with uncomfortable precision.
But the Bible (Psalm 118:12) teaches Israel not to despair. The enemies surround like bees — and then they are extinguished like burning thorns. The fire burns fast and hot, and then it is gone. The swarm is real, but it is not the final word.
Israel has spent 18 months fighting, and the destruction has been immense. But the Sages, reading Samson’s story, would recognize the pattern: out of the lion’s carcass comes honey. What looks to the world like devastation, God can transform into the source of something unexpected and sweet. In the wake of Iranian attacks on Arab countries as well as Israel, alliances that seemed impossible have quietly solidified. Israel has emerged as the strongest ally of the US, with the IAF flying missions alongside the American Air Force.
Dave Bender, an AP award-winning journalist, photographer, and pro beekeeper in Northern Israel, posted positive thoughts about the swarms:
“Swarm season has really kicked off this year! But don’t get scared – get smart, and get happy that they are thriving.” Bender posted on Facebook. “In a slo-mo clip, note that they’re all flapping their wings like crazy; this is known as ‘fanning,’ which serves to spread their queen’s pheromone – sort of a scent lighthouse telling their tribe, ‘queenie’s in here, come join us!’.
“This is an annual early spring phenomenon, and you can expect to see this all around over the next few weeks,” Bender wrote. “In reality – it’s really calming and centering (like I said about the frequency of the buzzing), when you “get” that they’re not hostile – unless you start swatting and flapping your arms in terror – that’ll for sure rile them up. If you find yourself “in the cloud,” just calmly walk away.”
Bender cited a verse in Pslams to describe his reaction to the buzzing
“As we say in Hebrew: “
מַה גָּדְלוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ה’ מְאֹד עָמְקוּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ” “How great are Thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep.” (Psalm 92:5)”https://israel365news.com/417546/like-a-swarm-of-bees-ancient-biblical-warning-plays-out-on

Air Canada scraps key US routes as fuel costs surge amid Iran war
Service to New York City’s JFK and Salt Lake City will be paused for months as the airline cites a sharp spike in jet fuel costs
By Bonny Chu FOX Business
Air Canada announced on Friday that the airline is suspending select U.S.-bound flights as jet fuel prices continue to skyrocket in the wake of the Iran war.
The cuts, set to take effect this summer and last at least five months, will impact all service to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City and the Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) in Utah, the airline said.
"As we regularly do, we monitor and review our network to ensure that routes are meeting profitability targets," the air carrier said in a statement.
"Jet fuel prices have doubled since the start of the Iran conflict, affecting some lower profitability routes and flights which now are no longer economically feasible. Schedule adjustments including some frequency reductions are being made in response."
DELTA, SOUTHWEST HIKE CHECKED BAGS AS AIRLINES FACE SURGING FUEL COSTS
Affected customers will be contacted with alternative travel options, the Canadian carrier said.
The airline specified that JFK will not see service from June 1 through Oct. 25, 2026, from its two hubs in Montreal and Toronto.
The move could reflect a consolidation strategy, as routes to nearby Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) airports remain unaffected, according to the release.
Air Canada operates more heavily out of those two airports than JFK, its website shows, with local outlet CTV News reporting roughly 34 daily departures from across Canada.
Flights to Salt Lake City, typically served only from Toronto Pearson (YYZ), will be suspended beginning June 30, with service expected to resume in 2027, creating a roughly six-month gap.
The airline also said two domestic routes and one international service were affected.
Routes between Vancouver and Fort McMurray will be suspended on May 28, while service between Toronto and Yellowknife will be halted on Aug. 30.
Both Fort McMurray and Yellowknife, which are considered lower-volume markets, were not given a resumption date.
The airline was also planning to launch service between Montreal and Guadalajara, Mexico, which has now been indefinitely suspended.
Air Canada said the changes represent only a small portion of its global operations, affecting about 1% of its total annual flying capacity for 2026.
Jet fuel prices increased to $3.79 on Friday, more than a 50% increase since the day before the Iran war broke out on Feb 27, according to Airlines for America.

Several U.S. airlines have also adopted new cost-cutting measures to offset rising jet fuel prices, with JetBlue, Southwest, American and United Airlines increasing checked bag fees.

Over 50,000 home deals collapse in weeks as panicked buyers pull out in droves in grim omen for US economy
By MARTHA WILLIAMS, US REAL ESTATE & CONSUMER REPORTER
Updated: 06:24 EDT, 23 April 2026
Tens of thousands of US home sales are falling apart after buyers have already signed contracts - a stark sign that confidence in the housing market is starting to crack.
Nearly 53,000 purchase agreements were scrapped in March alone, according to new data from Redfin.
That means 13.4 percent of all homes that went under contract failed to make it to closing - one of the highest March cancellation rates on record outside the chaos of early 2020.
The figures point to a growing sense of unease among buyers, many of whom are backing out after initially committing.
Housing costs remain relentlessly high, and a fresh rise in mortgage rates in March has only added to the financial strain.
'Buyers are getting cold feet,' said Patricia Ammann, a Redfin Premier agent in Arlington, VA.
'There have been layoffs, ups and downs in the market and geopolitical turmoil–and on top of all that, housing costs are still high. Because buyers are considering committing to spending so much money in uncertain times, they're extremely picky, which is leading some of them to back out before a deal closes.'
For some would-be homeowners, the reality of monthly payments, closing costs and long-term obligations becomes clearer after going under contract, prompting second thoughts.
At the same time, broader economic jitters - fueled by market volatility and geopolitical tensions amidst the Iran war - are making large financial decisions feel riskier than usual.
The current market dynamic is also giving buyers more freedom to walk away. With roughly 600,000 more sellers than buyers nationwide, house hunters hold a rare advantage.
That imbalance allows them to negotiate more favorable terms and include contingencies that make it easier to exit deals if issues arise.
In many cases, cancellations are not driven by major defects but by having more choice.
For example, if a better property comes along, or if buyers simply reconsider their decision in an uncertain climate.
The trend is most pronounced in cities where buyers have the widest selection.
In San Antonio, TX, nearly one in five contracts fell through in March, the highest share among major US metros, with Orlando, FL; Riverside, CA; Atlanta, GA; and Las Vegas, NV, showing similarly elevated rates.
In these markets, abundant inventory means buyers can afford to be selective and, if necessary, start over without much difficulty.
By contrast, cancellations are far less common in tighter markets such as Nassau County, NY, along with Montgomery County, PA, and Milwaukee, WI, where limited supply keeps pressure on buyers to follow through once they reach an agreement.
Some regions are seeing sharper shifts than others. Riverside and Atlanta posted some of the biggest increases in cancellation rates compared with a year ago, show just how quickly conditions can change in buyer-heavy markets.
Meanwhile, places like Miami, FL, Cleveland, OH, and Fort Worth, TX, have seen cancellations ease slightly - a reminder that the trend is not uniform nationwide.
The data shows that, what would typically be a more stable spring selling season is instead marked by caution and reconsideration.
Buyers are no longer rushing to close deals, they are weighing their options more carefully, and often deciding that walking away is the safer move.
For sellers, that means uncertainty lingers even after a contract is signed, as the path from agreement to closing has become far less predictable.

FLASH: RUSSIA SAYS BEING ATTACKED BY DRONES FLYING-IN FROM FINLAND AND BALTIC STATES; May Invoke UN Charter, Article 51 - SELF DEFENSE
Hal Turner World April 16, 2026 Hits: 13102
Sergey Shoigu stated that drone strikes on Russian territory are being recorded via Finland and the Baltic states, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure.
"In this context, Article 51 of the UN Charter on the right to self-defense may be invoked."
Hal Turner Analysis
Finland and the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are shown on the map above with their country names circled in red.
As a result of Drone attacks launched against Russia the Russian government is now openly saying they may choose to ATTACK Finland and the Baltic states in self defense. All of them are NATO members.
Instead of attacking those countries, I have to wonder: (Am I still allowed to wonder?) Wouldn't it be far easier, quicker, and more effective, for Russia to send military units discreetly into those countries with Orders to KILL the people giving the orders to send those drones?
It doesn't matter who it is - Russia could just kill them.
Then Russia could announce they killed them, and say why - showing proof.
This would, I think, dissuade anyone ELSE from making the same bad decisions as the dead folks made, and would likely (in my view) solve the problem without having to smash and destroy entire countries.
Moreover, The United States and Israel have just set the precedent for this, by intentionally targeting and deliberately killing, members of Iran's sitting government.
If it "ok" for the US and Israel to target and kill Iranian government officials, it seems perfectly logical to me that Russia can now target and kill the officials inside Finland and the Baltic States, without fear of world condemnation or even NATO Article 5.

Mossad Chief Declares Mission In Iran Not Over Until Regime Falls
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
A two-week Iran-US-Israel ceasefire is still in effect despite the collapse of last weekend's Islamabad talks, where the big hang up was fierce disagreement over Iran's nuclear development. The clock is ticking amid efforts to hold more direct talks by the end of this week.
What's unlikely to help things move along is a fresh statement from Mossad Director David Barnea. While speaking at a Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony in Jerusalem on Tuesday, he boasted that and that the fight is not over until there's regime collapse or overthrow.Mossad assets have been operating from the heart of Tehran
He said of Israel's premier intelligence agency that it operated "in the heart of Tehran" during the recent US-Israeli campaign against Iran, and further that "We brought precise intelligence to the Air Force, and we hit missiles that threatened Israel."
"But our mission has yet to be completed," the spy chief added. "We didn’t think that this mission would be completed immediately with the end of the battles. But we planned intensively for our campaign to continue and achieve results even in the period after the strikes in Tehran."
Mossad's involvement in counter-Iran action, he continued, will end "only when this radical regime is replaced."
Barnea made clear that regime change in Iran "is our mission. We will not stand by, watching, in the face of another existential threat."
Ironically, Israeli media is still trying to pour cold water on persistent reporting of an Israeli role in convincing the White House to unleash the massive bombing campaign on Iran:
Accordingly, the Mossad has rejected allegations that it has failed or that it tried to "sucker" the US into believing in delusions of regime change.
Barnea's public statement was the latest indication that he still believes regime change is possible, but that the war only helped set initial, more favorable conditions for such a change, and that significant additional work will be needed going forward.
Trump himself has at times suggested the aim is regime change, and at others has stated the opposite. But it does seem he actually believed Iranian state institutions would be quickly overthrown in some kind of brief Venezuela-style operation.
Prior reports out of Israel have painted a more realistic picture, however, stating that regime change in Iran - a country of over 90 million people and long-standing institutions - would be extremely difficult if not nearly impossible. And this is especially without ground forces, given air power is limited and does not work for this.
Mossad Chief David Barnea on Mossad’s Operation in Iran:
“The Iranian threat has steadily intensified before our eyes and those of the world, without restraint. We warned of the nuclear danger as an existential threat, we warned about the growing number of ballistic missiles… pic.twitter.com/eOlTcVJDnv

US wars spanning from Vietnam to Afghanistan have long demonstrated that aerial bombardment, even if massive, only goes so far. And even when there are 'boots on the ground' and nation-building, US efforts can be quickly unraveled, as the Taliban's reascendancy in Kabul in 2021 demonstrates.

Nebraska police fatally shoot woman seen slashing toddler she kidnapped from Walmart
By Zoe Hussain
Published April 14, 2026, 11:42 p.m. ET
Nebraska police fatally shot a woman who slashed a toddler after leading the child out of a Walmart at knifepoint in an alleged kidnapping, according to cops and body-worn camera images.
Cops responded to a Walmart in Omaha just after 9:10 a.m. for reports of a woman armed with a “large kitchen knife” who had a young child, according to the Omaha Police Department.
Surveillance footage caught the woman, later identified as 31-year-old Noemi Guzman, shoplifting the knife from the store and approaching a 3-year-old boy and his guardian in an aisle, police said.
Guzman was seen brandishing the knife and forcing the female shopper to walk ahead of the cart as the child remained inside it. She then terrifyingly led them through the store and into the parking lot, cops added.
The knife-wielding woman “took possession of the child, essentially kidnapping the child,” Deputy Chief Scott Gray said at a press conference.
A two-officer patrol unit arrived and discovered Guzman in the parking lot, standing by the shopping cart with the young child inside.
Guzman continued to make threats with the knife and — after ignoring several pleas from officers to drop the weapon — slashed the boy, authorities said.
Harrowing images from body camera footage captured Guzman, who had dyed red hair, a purple tank top, and plaid pants, holding the large knife up near the boy’s face as a cop drew their gun.
The two officers fired their weapons and struck Guzman, as the toddler’s guardian and a bystander immediately removed him from the cart and provided medical aid.
Lifesaving measures were given to Guzman, but she died at the scene, police said.
The child was being treated at a hospital for a large laceration across the left side of his face and on his hand. He is expected to survive.
“The responding officers acted with professionalism and direct action to intervene and save a child’s life,” Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said in a statement.
“The community can be reassured in knowing that Omaha police officers stand ready to act with courage and decisiveness in the most serious situations to protect the public,” Schmaderer said.
The Omaha Police Department Officer-Involved Investigations Team will investigate the incident alongside the Nebraska State Patrol, and the Douglas and Sarpy County Sheriff’s Offices.
“The Omaha Police Department offers its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Guzman during this difficult time,” the department said in a statement.

UPDATED 11:09 AM EDT -- CONFIRMED: OIL IN SINGAPORE: $210 PER BARREL TODAY ! ! ! SRI LANKA $286
Hal Turner World April 16, 2026 Hits: 20321
Numerous reports are coming in this morning claiming oil prices in Singapore just went ballistic: $210 per barrel today for actual delivery; not futures, actual oil price!
Endeavoring to verify the precise details. If any of you have further info, please email.
UPDATED 11:09 AM EDT --
On Tuesday, April 14, at the HSBC Global Investment Summit in Hong Kong, CEO Georges Elhedery said something on live Bloomberg television that should have detonated every energy desk on earth. It did not. Because nobody is reading what it actually means.
“The highest I’ve seen, and I’m hoping we don’t see more of that, but the highest I’ve seen is $286 for a barrel of oil that reached Sri Lanka.”
Two hundred and eighty-six dollars. For a single barrel. Delivered. While Brent futures closed at $95.61 on April 16 and CNBC’s chyron still shows “oil near $100.”
Read the transcript carefully. Elhedery laid out the arithmetic: Middle East crude is now $140 to $150 at origin. Red Sea rerouting adds $30 to $40 per barrel in shipping. Insurance has gone from 25 basis points to 5 percent, a twentyfold increase. War insurance has been scrapped entirely, meaning the 5 percent buys you no war coverage at all. Stack those numbers on top of Dated Brent physical at $131.97 on April 9, Oman crude at a record $152.58 in March, and Dubai crude at $157.66 in early April, and you arrive at a poor importing nation paying $286 to keep the lights on.
This is not an oil price spike. This is the death of benchmark pricing as the world has known it since 1988.
For 38 years, Brent and WTI futures have functioned as the nervous system of global oil. Every central bank inflation model, every airline fuel hedge, every sovereign budget in every importing nation, every Fed rate decision, anchors itself to these two numbers flickering on a Bloomberg terminal. The entire post-1973 architecture assumed that paper price and physical price converge within a narrow band, that arbitrage closes the gap, that the benchmark tells the truth.
On April 14, HSBC’s CEO told the world, in public, that the paper price is now off by nearly 200 percent from the physical price for the countries that can least afford the difference. A $95 Brent headline and a $286 delivered barrel are not the same commodity anymore. They are two different markets, and the poor are trading in the real one.
This is why Sri Lanka, which has no domestic production and imports 100 percent of its fuel, turned simultaneously to Russia, India, and China in the first weeks of April. President Dissanayake publicly thanked all three on April 8. India delivered 38,000 metric tonnes on March 28. Sinopec is running sustained shipments. Russia has formalized supply arrangements despite US sanctions. Colombo, a capital of 1.7 million people in a country still recovering from the 2022 sovereign default, has accidentally become the first live demonstration of what post-dollar, post-Brent, multipolar energy sourcing looks like in practice. Not in a think tank paper. In actual cargoes arriving at actual ports.
Every central bank pricing inflation off Brent is flying blind. Every airline hedged on WTI is mispriced. Every AI data center operator who modeled a 2030 power buildout on pre-war energy assumptions just watched the assumption disintegrate. Goldman’s 1,350 TWh data-center forecast assumed a world where a $95 Brent headline means $95 oil arriving at the meter. That world ended on February 28.
The $286 barrel did not reach Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka reached the future first. Everyone else is still reading yesterday’s screen.

Airline drops Los Angeles routes as rising fuel prices across California force major schedule cuts
By Daniel Farr Published April 15, 2026, 7:52 p.m. ET
A low-cost transatlantic carrier is hitting the brakes on Los Angeles service, citing soaring fuel prices that are shaking the aviation industry.
Norse Atlantic Airways has scrapped all flights from LAX for the upcoming summer season, a move tied to rising jet fuel costs linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
The airline confirmed to KTLA it has removed routes connecting LAX to major European hubs, including London, Gatwick, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Rome Fiumicino.
Passengers began sounding the alarm online after receiving sudden cancellation notices.
One traveler shared an email to Yahoo stating: “We regret to inform you that your flight from Los Angeles to London on June 28, 2026, has been canceled. The disruption is caused by an extraordinary surge in oil prices, followed by unpredictable fuel supply constraints across the aviation industry beyond our control. As a result, we are unable to operate this route in a responsible and sustainable manner.”
The airline’s decision to eliminate all LAX departures for the summer schedule, signaling a major retreat from the West Coast market.
Industry outlet AviacionOnline noted Norse is shifting its focus to more stable routes, concentrating on East Coast operations such as JFK (New York) and MCO (Orlando), along with long-haul flights to Bangkok and Cape Town, destinations that have held up better amid cost pressures.
The abrupt exit leaves a gap in the budget travel space in Southern California, as United and Delta have both warned of higher costs for travelers in high-demand hubs like Los Angeles.
The development echoes earlier concerns about the airline’s reliability. Months ago, a traveler weighing a Norse booking for a June trip was advised against it due to added fees and the risk of cancellations.
That decision paid off, he opted for British Airways and is now avoiding the scramble for replacement flights as prices surge.
For those impacted, Norse is offering three options: rebooking on a different date, a travel credit worth the full ticket price plus 25%, or a full refund.
Given the uncertainty surrounding smaller carriers in the current climate, taking the refund may be the safest bet.

~ June 15, All The Oil Stored Above-Ground Will Be Used-up
Hal Turner World April 14, 2026 Hits: 18637
On or about June 15, 2026, all the oil reserves, stored in tanks above ground, will be USED-UP, globally. Commerce will all but cease.
The Chart below from NinePoint Partners via Kpler shows all the oil storage tanks above-ground and on-the-ocean, planet-wide.
With the strait of Hormuz closed, about twenty percent (~20%) of the world's DAILY needs, are no longer being brought to market. That's two barrels of every ten barrels needed, NOT being available.
The world has a significant amount of oil stored in tanks and caverns, plus what is already aboard ships and traveling, to smooth-over disruptions in normal oil flow.
Since the Strait of Hormuz was closed by military conflict on February 28 of this year, the world has had to begin using those stored oil reserves because of this disruption to normal oil flow.
The chart below shows the remaining stored oil, and other oil already aboard ships, worldwide. With the preset draw-down of oil to meet daily needs, known as de-stocking, the chart shows that all the reserve oil will be used-up by about June 15 of this year - week #26 of the year. The RED LINE shows how things will go:
As shown above, global stored reserves are being destocked at about 8 Million Barrels per day. The yellow arrow along the red line shows where we are, right now, and what is to come.
By about June 15, all the stored all will have been destocked (used-up). There won't be any left.
Of course, there is still the eighty percent of regular oil production still happening. But that 80% is two barrels out of every ten barrels less than what is needed everyday. So a very big chunk of people and industries that rely upon oil, aren't going to be getting any, or aren't going to be getting enough to meet the normal, typical needs of each day.
Those who need it most, will have to PAY larger and larger fees to get it. Those who cannot pay, will STEAL IT.
All over Europe and now, here in the USA, reports are flooding-in that cars-owners are coming out to go to work, and finding holes have been drilled in their gas tanks overnight, and all their gasoline has been STOLEN!
The law of supply-and-demand kicks-in and that means prices will skyrocket upwards at rates the world has never seen before. As those prices increase, the production of certain products will have to simply halt because the products cannot support price increases necessary. People just won't buy gasoline at $20 a gallon; they can't afford it. Truckers just won't buy Diesel fuel at $25 a gallon, they can't afford it.
Manufacturers won't call truckers for shipping because no one will buy the trinkets or other products they intend to ship, if those products need to pay for the Diesel fuel necessary to bring them to market. Production of many, many, things, will simply stop. The workers who make those things: Laid off.
Supermarkets require truckloads of food to re-stock shelves every day. The prices of the food those trucks carry, will go up, and up, and up because the Diesel fuel the trucks run on will go up, and up, and up.
Those who can still afford the prices will buy food; those who cannot, will STEAL IT. Videos are coming in from all over the USA showing people stealing entire shopping carts worth of food, and drawing GUNS on Security Guards who try to stop them.
Worse, other videos are coming in showing customers who PAID, being robbed-at-gunpoint of their shopping cart contents outside the supermarkets as they try to get their food back to their cars in the parking lots.
Expect Food riots.
Government does NOT have any stored food for the general public; they only stock up for their own government bunkers. So there can't be any help from government because they don't have food stored for their own people.
Moreover, governments at the state and federal level, are mostly broke; they can't even give money to people to pay the higher costs of food.
There have been books written that show any civil society is only "Nine meals away from anarchy." When human beings miss three meals a day, times three days (9 meals), they become savages for food. They will - and have - KILLED, to get food.
That is what's coming at us as we approach and reach June 15.
After June 15, if the oil flow is not restored, who knows how bad it will get. People are laughingly suggesting "MAD MAX" bad, after the apocalyptic Hollywood movie series MAD MAX from the 1980's.
I don't know how this is all going to play out. Most normal people think "they'll work it out." But those normal people don't seem to recall the Georgia Guidestones wherein the elite carved into stone, that they want the world to have a population of only X number of people. If I recall, they said 500 Million, but just this morning I saw a number saying 2.6 Billion.
There are already 8.3 Billion people on earth. To reach either of their goals, 6 BILLION to 7.5 BILLION of us, have to die.
It's starting to appear to me that starving us to death is the way they intend to achieve those goals.
So . . . . to those normal folks who think "they'll work it out" . . . . it seems THEY ARE: By starving us to death. Making everything so expensive, we simply can't afford to live.
Get with that reality and prepare.
Buy shelf-stable foods that don't need refrigeration: Rice, pasta, canned meats and vegetables, jarred sauces. Plant gardens to grow food. It's Spring time, now is the time to start planting!
I wish I could tell you there's light at the end of the tunnel we've entered. It just doesn't seem to be.
I hope I'm wrong.
I WANT to be wrong.
I don't think I am.

The Great War on the Bible in America and Elsewhere
by Jack Wellman
· Print · EmailThere’s a war on…but this war is directed against the Word of God where the Bible is increasingly being banned as “hate speech.”
There’s a war on…but this war is directed against the Word of God where the Bible is increasingly being banned as “hate speech” so how long do you think it will be before the Bible is banned in America, or will it ever be? In the course of human history, the Bible has been banned, burned, banished, and forbidden, but this hasn’t stopped the Word of God from going out into the world. In one remote part of the world in Africa, there was so much opposition to the Bible that the Muslims went from house to house trying to find a copy of the Bible, and if they found it, they would not only burn it, but sometimes the person who it was found with, but to those who hold to the precious Word of God, they don’t care. They have such a hunger and thirst for the Word of God that they are willing to risk their life for possessing a Bible.
Hiding God’s Word
There was a group who had only one Bible, but they all wanted to read it, so what did they do? They took the Bible apart and gave each person one book of the Bible (i.e. the Gospel of John). Then, thirty days later, they came back and exchanged their book for another and memorized that one. After a few years, the over dozen men had memorized much of the Bible and could recite it by heart to those who didn’t have a Bible. They had hid God’s Word in their heart. In this way, even if they came and confiscated the Bible, they couldn’t touch their minds which had the rich Word of God in memory. They might remove the physical part (the Bible) but they can’t touch what’s been hidden in a person’s heart. In many nations, the Bible is illegal to own, however they just don’t get it? God’s Word is indestructible.
Forbidden Preaching
When it comes time to preaching the gospel in Canada, there are some Bible verses that this nation now considers hate speech and a pastor can be jailed and fined for preaching it, but this is nothing compared to how other nations are persecuting preachers of the Word. An American evangelist said he was arrested and interrogated about his Christian faith after he was caught on a London sidewalk preaching that homosexuality is a sin, even though the Bible states that it is. There was a Swedish pastor who preached a sermon on the Biblical prohibitions against homosexual behavior and was waiting to see if the Supreme Court of Sweden will send him to jail for six months for doing so. The pastor was charged with violating a Swedish hate speech law that protects homosexuals from “intimidation” and “agitation.”
Attacked for the Word
And sometimes there doesn’t even have to be a target audience for preaching as retired Pastor James McConnell found out. He was still waiting to see if his next sermon will be given from a prison pulpit or not. What was his crime? On May 18, 2014, the 79-year-old pastor was speaking at the church he founded in Belfast, Ireland and simply preached a sermon on 1 Timothy 2:5: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” Pastor McConnell reacted to a pregnant Muslim woman who was converted to Christianity and received 80 lashes and had a death sentence hanging over her head. The pastor was warned about the potential of being arrested for telling the truth that Islam is satanic and is a “doctrine spawned in hell.”
Anti-Preaching Laws
The Canadian government apparently has an ax to grind against biblical preaching. Preaching only about the love of God is okay, but if a preacher mentions specific sins and those who do these sins are in danger of God’s judgment, then it is considered hate speech and the consequences are not just a slap on the wrist. Father Alphonse de Valk, who is Canada’s leading pro-life voice among Catholic clergy, has said that the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal has forbidden evangelical pastor Stephen Boisson from expressing his moral opposition to homosexuality. Boisson was told to apologize to the “human rights” advocate who filed the complaint, and then they threatened him with a $5,000 fine for the “pain and suffering” he caused the man. We could expect this from the tribunals in Stalin’s Soviet Union or in Mao’s China, but in Canada? And perhaps the US is next with such laws.
Biblical Persecution
In the end, the courts ordered Boisson to provide the complainant with a written apology for his letter to the editor, but Ezra Levant, a Jewish-Canadian author and lawyer, said it’s “This is like a Third World jail-house confession — where accused criminals are forced to sign false statements of guilt. ” Levant said, “We don’t even ‘order’ murderers to apologize to their victims’ families because we know that a forced apology is meaningless to them, but not so if their purpose is to degrade Christian pastors and more importantly, the Word of God.
The Future and the Bible
The day is swiftly approaching where mentioning specific sins in the Bible will be seen as a hate crime in America. It is very close right now, so that might be the next step to banning the Bible altogether in the U.S. When or if this will happens, we just don’t know, but there are things in the air that say it may be coming. Already, parts of the Bible have been and are still being removed from the public square because some are “offended by it,” so things like the Ten Commandments have been removed, even in very conservative states such as Oklahoma and Alabama. What is even more tragic is that some ministers, like in the Episcopalian Church, have actually ordained as homosexual ministers, which is contrary to biblical doctrine (Rom 1:18-10, 26-27; 1 Cor 6:9-11).
The Apostle Paul warned of such a day when he wrote that “the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions” (2 Cor 4:3). Will the Bible ever be banned in America? Perhaps the preaching of it will be someday, and not just from behind the pulpits, but even in the streets. It’s growing more and more difficult to be able to preach the Word of God anywhere because the Word of God afflicts those who reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Summary
Several Canadian pastors and street preachers have faced hate-motivated charges or controversy and been arrested, primarily surrounding anti-LGBTQ2+ comments, despite the fact that these comments were verses from the Bible. Key cases involve accusations of inciting hatred, harassment, and public nuisance, rather than being prosecuted solely for Scripture reading which they actually did. From one Saskatchewan court of appeals, the Bible is now considered hate literature in Canada, even if it is quoted verbatim and in context, specifically if it is used to condemn homosexuality. Sadly, there is a double-standard for the Koran as it has not been labeled as having hate speech, even though it contains verses that demand the death of all who reject Allah and fail to be assimilated into the Islamic faith. Just another double standard, showing people hate the truth and will try to ban it, banish it, or make it illegal. That day may be coming sooner than later. Despite all the attacks on the Bible, “The word of the Lord endures forever” (Isaiah 40:8; 1 Pet 1:24-25), and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
A True Christian
“The word of the Lord endures forever” (Isaiah 40:8).
Conclusion
I pray you have put your trust in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If that has not happened yet, my friend, you are in real danger of hell fire. And I mean, in immediate danger. You’re one breath, one heartbeat…one accident away from eternity when it will be too late to repent. Today is the best day to believe (2 Cor 6:2) since tomorrow is no guarantee. If Jesus Christ came today, here is your fate (Matt 7:21-23). This is why I plead with you as you read this, repent today…and I mean right now. Put your trust in Jesus Christ. If you do not, you will face God’s judgment after death guaranteed (Heb 9:27) or at Jesus Christ’s appearance (Rev 20:12-15), which could happen at any moment.

China plans to deliver air defense systems to Iran during fragile cease-fire deal: report
By Katherine Donlevy
Published April 11, 2026 Updated April 11, 2026, 8:41 a.m. ET
China is preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Iran in the next few weeks, according to a report citing sources with knowledge of US intelligence.
The move would be “provocative,” according to CNN, considering China played a major role in brokering the fragile cease-fire deal between Iran and the US earlier this week.
Beijing is working to route shipments through third countries to hide the backroom trade — which involves shoulder-fired anti-air missile systems known as MANPADs, multiple US intelligence sources told CNN.
The weapons — which use heat-seeking guidance to lock onto an aircraft’s engine or exhaust — posed a major threat to the US military during the five-week war, with one nearly taking out a F/A-18 Super Hornet last week.
The F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over Iran last week was targeted by a “handheld shoulder missile, [a] heat-seeking missile,” Trump said Monday, though it’s not clear whether it had been provided by China.
Chinese companies have also continued to sell sanctioned technology to Iran that would help the country build weapons and enhance its navigation systems, the sources alleged.
China, however, denied the claims, with a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington telling CNN, “China has never provided weapons to any party to the conflict; the information in question is untrue.”
“As a responsible major country, China consistently fulfills its international obligations. We urge the U.S. side to refrain from making baseless allegations, maliciously drawing connections, and engaging in sensationalism; we hope that relevant parties will do more to help de-escalate tensions,” the spokesperson said.
The trade wouldn’t be the first time China was accused of supplying Iran with weapons in the recent war.
In February, Beijing was looking to sell CM-302 missiles, which have a range of about 180 miles and are capable of flying low and fast enough to evade a ship’s aerial defenses, though it’s not clear whether that deal went through.
President Trump is expected to visit China in early May for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Iran threatens to attack US Navy ships entering Strait of Hormuz after first American vessels moved through channel
By Katherine Donlevy
Published April 11, 2026 Updated April 11, 2026, 10:48 a.m. ET
Iran threatened to attack any US Navy ships that enter the Strait of Hormuz shortly after American vessels moved through the channel for the first time since the war broke out.
Tehran warned Pakistani mediators that “if the vessel continues to move, it will be targeted within 30 minutes, and the Iranian-American negotiations will suffer,” a Foreign Ministry spokesperson told Khabar Network, according to Fars News Agency.
The warning comes just after reports broke that “multiple” US vessels had crossed the strait for the first time in months in a move that “was not coordinated with Iran.”

Inflation soars to hottest levels in two years as war in Iran drives gasoline prices higher
By Taylor Herzlich
Published April 10, 2026, 8:46 a.m. ETInflation ramped up in March to the hottest levels since May 2024 as higher energy prices slammed the economy – putting another dent in the Federal Reserve’s path to interest-rate cuts.
The Consumer Price Index rose 3.3% in March over the past 12 months – a sharp rise from 2.4% the previous month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday.
Core CPI – which excludes volatile food and energy prices – jumped 2.6% over the year, up from 2.5% in February.
The heated inflation report was largely driven by a massive 21.2% monthly increase in gasoline prices, according to the Labor Department.
It is the first glimpse into how the Middle East conflict is impacting inflation, as Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz – a critical route for 20% of the world’s oil – has created the worst-ever energy supply disruption.
Fears of higher inflation sent consumer confidence tumbling to a record low in April, according to a University of Michigan survey released Friday.
In a bright spot for the economy, the core figure showed a relatively modest increase, indicating that energy prices have yet to leak into the broader economy – but experts are warning that it’s only a matter of weeks before Americans see higher prices on store shelves.
“The transportation costs have already gone up and the input costs that farmers, manufacturers, etc. are dealing with, they’ve already had to spend that money… and that will just flow through the system,” Joe Adamski, managing director of ProcureAbility, a supply chain consultancy, told The Post.
Energy supply shocks from the Iran war will likely hit clothing in about three months, while fast-fashion items will see sharp price increases almost immediately, Adamski said.
Processed foods will grow more expensive within the month, while farm-grown food will jump by this summer and fall, he added. Oil benchmarks saw some long-awaited relief this week as traders hope a two-week ceasefire with Iran and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will hold – but Brent crude is still at $95 a barrel, about 30% higher than prewar levels.
The overall energy sector rose 10.9% in March, and Americans are now shelling out roughly 40% more to fill up their tanks as national average gasoline prices hit $4.15 a gallon, per AAA.
Airline fares jumped 2.7% in March – up 14.9% over the past 12 months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Jet fuel is one of the main costs for most airlines. Many – including Delta, United, Southwest Airlines and JetBlue – have also started hiking their checked bag fees to offset rising fuel costs.
The International Air Transport Association, an airline industry group, warned this week that even if the strait remains open, it would take months for global fuel supplies to stabilize. Grocery prices fell 0.2% in March, while costs for dining out rose 0.2% – but economists are expecting prices at the grocery store to heat up.
Most food in the US is transported by trucks that run on diesel, which hit $5.68 a gallon on Friday. The pricey fuel is also used to power farm equipment, and the blockade of the strait has disrupted fertilizer supplies – raising agricultural costs for farmers.
The shelter index rose 0.3% in March and is up 3% over the year.
The real concern is how long the war will last and whether these price pressures will start to widen out, which could signal a stickier impact on inflation.
“The duration of the war matters as does the extremely important Strait of Hormuz, because if the supply shock is temporary then the economy can weather this storm and the Fed will have an opportunity to lower interest rates by the end of the year,” Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Northlight Asset Management, said in a note Friday.
“But if the inflation shock is more long-lasting they will have no choice but to sit on their hands for the entire year,” he added.
Central bankers have cautioned that the war could reheat inflation, though they stuck to their projection of one interest-rate cut this year at their meeting in March.
March’s CPI report also showed some signs of a tariff impact, as apparel rose 1% in March and is 3.4% higher over the past 12 months.
Furniture, another tariff-sensitive category, dipped slightly in March, but is up 3.1% over the past year.

Surge in mystery dead whales in San Francisco Bay raises alarm
Apr 9, 2026
A recent surge in whale deaths in the San Francisco Bay area has raised growing concern among marine scientists, as experts point to a mix of human activity and environmental stress as possible causes.
Within just over two weeks, five gray whales have been found dead in or around the bay, according to reporting by The Times. At least one of the animals is believed to have died after being struck by a vessel, while others were too decomposed for a clear cause of death to be determined.
Researchers say the pattern is troubling, particularly as whale sightings in the bay appear to be increasing. The shift may signal deeper ecological changes affecting the species.
“It’s not just about the deaths themselves,” one expert noted in the original report. “The fact that more whales are entering the bay suggests something is changing in their environment.”
The eastern North Pacific gray whale undertakes an annual migration of roughly 10,000 miles, traveling between feeding grounds in the Arctic and breeding areas off Mexico.
Scientists believe the animals are increasingly entering San Francisco Bay in search of food or safe resting areas, possibly because their traditional feeding zones are under strain.
Climate change is a leading suspect. Warming waters in the Arctic have disrupted ecosystems that whales rely on, leaving some animals malnourished. Several whales observed in recent years have appeared emaciated, reinforcing concerns about food shortages.
“The increase in whale activity in the bay may reflect a larger problem,” the report said, pointing to “dwindling Arctic food sources likely linked to climate change.”
At the same time, the presence of whales in busy shipping channels raises the risk of collisions. Vessel strikes remain one of the most immediate threats to large marine mammals, especially in heavily trafficked waters like San Francisco Bay.
Authorities are urging boaters to slow down and remain vigilant. “Maintaining safe distances is critical,” the report emphasized, both to protect whales and to avoid dangerous encounters at sea.
Population trends add to the urgency. Gray whale numbers dropped sharply from around 27,000 in 2016 to approximately 12,900 in recent years. Although there have been signs of partial recovery, experts say the species remains under stress.
Last year alone saw an unusually high number of whales entering the bay, with dozens recorded and many fatalities linked to human interaction.
Scientists stress that while no single cause explains the recent deaths, the combination of climate pressures and increased human activity is likely playing a significant role.
“This is a warning sign,” one researcher said. “We’re seeing the consequences of broader environmental changes play out in real time.”

Poisonous, stinging Portuguese man o’ war are rapidly invading beaches: ‘Extremely painful’
By Allison Lax
Published April 9, 2026, 5:29 p.m. ETThe Portuguese man o’ war has been making its presence known on beaches from Texas to Florida, as reported by Fox Weather.
The small but dangerous sea creature — which is known for its long tentacles and polyps that extend up to 100 feet, according to AL.com, and can deliver a painful sting even weeks after they’ve washed ashore — has also been seen on Fort Morgan, Alabama, beaches, where meteorologist Caroline Carithers took a photo of one.
Carithers has been seeing them wash up “all week,” according to News WKRG5.
The man o’war is typically found in subtropical seas and can end up on Gulf Coast shores — and even on the Southeast coast of the US.
On Pensacola Beach, lifeguards recently warned beachgoers of the nearby stinging marine life by flying both small red and purple flags, which were also meant to alert swimmers to dangerous conditions on the water.
“Please don’t touch or pick up these organisms — their sting is extremely painful!” the lifeguards wrote on nearby signage.
These nearly translucent blue, violet and pink-colored colored creatures are often confused with jellyfish due to their ethereal appearance and similar balloon-like float, which can rise six inches above the waterline. But they actually belong to a species of siphonophore, which is comprised of a colony of genetically identical individuals called zooids (clones) that work in uniform, each with different roles, per the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Per NOAA, man o’ war has four specialized parts that cover the tasks of floating, taking prey, eating and reproducing.
While their sting uses tentacles to kill small fish and crustaceans with the nematocysts — microscopic capsules packed with venomous, coiled, barbed tubes — it is rarely fatal to humans. The welts it causes on exposed skin and the painful, burning sensation are not exactly what most would prefer while taking a relaxing stroll on the beach.
The sea creature gets its distinctive name for its aesthetic similarity to an 18th-century Portuguese warship.
In the event of an accidental sting, the afflicted should seek immediate medical attention. If planning to visit beaches along the Gulf Coast, keep an eye out for the creatures and admire them — just from a distance.

Iran Partially Opens Strait Of Hormuz, But Admits To Placing Naval Mines
Francis Kapper
April 9, 2026 5:28 PM ETIranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh informed the world that Tehran would open the Strait of Hormuz in a limited capacity during an interview on Thursday.
Khatibzadeh admitted in the interview with ITV that the Iranian regime has laid naval mines in the strait. These mines will have to be cleared after the conflict is resolved, which can be expensive and dangerous.
“Anybody who communicates with the Iranian authority has got permission to pass,” Khatibzadeh said in the ITV interview.
Khatibzadeh explained in the interview that the Iranian regime will have to guide vessels through the strait for the foreseeable future. Tehran told mediators that it would limit passage to only 12 ships per day, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Iran plans to impose a transit toll of $1/barrel payable in Chinese yuan or cryptocurrency, according to the Financial Times.
Iran may have as many as 2,000 to 6,000 mines, according to statements provided by U.S. officials to CBS News. Declassified CIA documents from 1984 state that the Iranians may have mines with explosive payloads larger than 1100 pounds (500 kilograms). Explosive charges of this size have the power to cripple or even sink large vessels.
“I have all the reasons to be skeptical regarding the intention of the other side, but more than that, as we are seeing, Israelis are violating, the grave violation is happening right now in Lebanon, yesterday was a massacre,” Khatibzadeh said in the ITV interview.
Israeli strikes in Lebanon on Wednesday resulted in 89 deaths and more than 700 people wounded, according to a statement that Lebanon’s health ministry provided to Reuters.
The Israel Defense Forces stated in an X post that they successfully killed Lebanese Resistance Brigade leader Maher Qassem Hamdan. The brigades are an irregular militia composed of Christians, Sunni and Shia Muslims, according to reporting by the International Business Times from 2015.
“Renewed aggression by the Zionist regime against Lebanon blatantly violates the initial ceasefire,” Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a post on X.
“I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding. I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn’t,” Vice President J.D. Vance told reporters in Budapest, according to reporting by Reuters.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel is seeking to begin negotiations with Lebanon as soon as possible in a Government Press Office statement translated from Hebrew.
It remains unclear whether the current ceasefire will last. The ceasefire is slated to remain in place until April 22.
“The negotiations will focus on disarming Hezbollah and establishing peaceful relations between Israel and Lebanon,” Netanyahu stated. Lebanon has not indicated whether it will participate in peace talks.
Conflict between Israel and Lebanon includes first-person-view drones from Hezbollah being sent far past the front line and into Israel proper. The IDF recently seized a cache of Hezbollah’s FPV drones, according to reporting by The Times of Israel.
“What we said is that the ceasefire would be focused on Iran, and the ceasefire would be focused on America’s allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states,” Vice President J.D. Vance told reporters in Budapest.

Washington declares statewide drought emergency after warm winter cuts snowpack in half
Apr 8, 2026, 1:30 PM | Updated: 7:53 pm
BY FRANK LENZI
KIRO News DirectorOfficials have declared a statewide drought emergency in Washington.
They cite an “exceptionally warm winter” and warmer-and drier-than-normal forecasts through early summer.
“There is no way to sugar-coat what is happening today,”
Washington Department of Ecology Director Casey Sixkiller said. “We have entered April with roughly half of our normal snowpack. In Washington, our summer water supply is stored in winter snowpack.”
Sixkiller said emergency drought declarations are made when the water supply is below 75% of normal. He does not expect the Seattle–Tacoma metro area to have any water supply issues this summer.
“But let me be clear,” he said. “We are all in this together.”
Near-normal rain, far-below-normal snowpack
Many of the state’s river basins are below 50% of normal.
“This is the fourth year in a row that part or all of Washington will be under a drought declaration, and it is the fourth statewide drought emergency since 2015,” a news release from the Washington Department of Ecology stated. “Seven of the past 10 years have seen drought in parts or all of the state.”
Even though Washington experienced 104% of normal precipitation from October to February, too much of it fell as rain instead of snow, officials said. Through June, forecasters expect above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation.
“If you look at our mountains, the challenge we are facing is clear,” Washington Governor Bob Ferguson said. “We’re taking emergency action to protect fish, farmers, and communities across Washington.”
State climatologists say the problem is temperature, not precipitation.
“Precipitation has been basically normal when averaged statewide, but it’s been really warm,” Karin Bumbaco, deputy state climatologist with the Washington State Climate Office at the University of Washington, said. “After our warmest December on record, we finally began to build snowpack in early January before an extended mid-winter dry spell through early March stopped snow accumulation in its tracks.”

Easter Terrorist Massacres in Pakistan and Nigeria
Catherine Salgado | 11:34 AM on April 06, 2026
In Pakistan and Nigeria, some Christians found their Easter turned into a day of mourning after jihadi attacks reportedly caused mass casualty events.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talked about persecuted Christians for his Easter message, but heads of supposedly Christian countries in the West ignored the issue. Islamic terrorists often choose holidays to target Christians with deadly violence, and Easter 2026 was tragically no exception.
European media outlet Visegr
ád 24 shared on X on April 5, “Reports of a potential Islamist terror attack against Pakistani Christians on Easter morning. A man rammed a truck into a large Christian procession in Gujranwala, killing several Christians and wounding 60+.” It included a very brief and indistinct video clip.The outlet then followed up with the following video and update:
Christian Pakistanis speak after a potential terror attack against a Christian procession on Easter morning.
A man rammed a truck into a large Christian procession in Gujranwala, killing several Christians and wounding 60+
It does not appear that clear casualty statistics have come out of Pakistan. In Nigeria, however, there is a heartbreaking casualty count, as Punch Newspapers reported:
Terrorists have attacked Ariko community in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, targeting two Christian worship centres during Easter celebrations, killing at least seven persons and abducting several others…The councillor representing Awon Ward, under which Ariko District falls, Mark Bawa, confirmed the attack to PUNCH Online on Sunday via phone call.
According to him, the affected churches are First ECWA Church and St. Augustine Catholic Church, both located in Ariko.
Bawa said that the number of dead could be as high as eight. “The attackers came in large numbers. They surrounded the area and began shooting sporadically at worshippers. Several people were killed, and many others were taken away into the bush,” he explained. Islam largely fuels terrorism in Nigeria.
On the same subject of terrorist entities that just killed innocent civilians, the Iranian regime once again fired on civilian sites in Israel, killing two people and injuring four more, including a mother and baby, as of Easter Monday morning. Besides being Easter, this weekend was Shabbat during Passover, and as mentioned above, Islamic terrorists love to target civilians on holidays — both Jewish and Christian.
So today, as you rest after the rigors of Lent and the celebrations of Easter Sunday, as you perhaps attend church for Bright Monday or go back to work, do not forget to pray for persecuted Christians around the world. And most importantly of all, as an Israeli official recently pointed out, raise awareness about the global persecution of Christians. Imagine if there were only half the amount of funding and activism on behalf of persecuted Christians as there has been on behalf of Palestinian terrorists. What a difference that could make in the world.

'Political disaster': Israeli leaders lash out over ceasefire, split on who’s to blame
"It will take us years to repair the political and strategic damage that Netanyahu created," Lapid claimed, while Otzma Yehudit MK Zvika Fogel blames Trump for "wimping out."
By
TOBIAS SIEGALAPRIL 8, 2026 10:23Updated: APRIL 8, 2026 21:07
Opposition leader Yair Lapid sharply criticized on Wednesday the ceasefire with Iran announced earlier in the day, calling it a failure of political and strategic leadership and warning of long-term consequences for Israel’s security.
“There has never been such a political disaster in all of our history,” Lapid wrote in a statement, arguing that “Israel wasn’t even part of the discussions when decisions were made concerning our national security.”
He added that while “the military carried out everything that was asked of it” and “the public demonstrated amazing resilience,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “failed politically, failed strategically, and didn’t meet a single one of the goals that he himself set.”
Lapid warned that “it will take us years to repair the political and strategic damage that Netanyahu created due to arrogance, negligence, and a lack of strategic planning.”
Many in Israel view the ceasefire as a negative outcome
MK Zvika Fogel, chair of the Knesset’s National Security Committee and a member of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, reacted to the ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump with a sharply worded post on X/Twitter.
“Donald, you really wimped out,” he wrote, using the Hebrew word for “duck” to describe the American president, which in slang implies weakness or a lack of backbone.
While Fogel and Lapid directed their criticism in different directions, their remarks reflect a broader sentiment shared across the political spectrum that sees the ceasefire in its current form as a negative outcome for Israel.
Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman warned that the ceasefire “gives the ayatollahs’ regime a breather and an opportunity to regroup,” adding that “any agreement with Iran, without forgoing the destruction of Israel, uranium enrichment, production of ballistic missiles, and support for terrorist organizations in the region, means we’ll have to return to another campaign under harsher conditions and pay a heavier price.”
Frontline communities fear Hezbollah threat will persist despite ceasefire
Beyond the threat posed by Iran, others expressed a more immediate concern over Lebanon.
Israel has consistently stated its goal in Lebanon in the current war is to disarm Hezbollah and eliminate the threat it poses to northern communities. And while the IDF has recently signaled that fully achieving that objective may be unrealistic, the current ceasefire is widely viewed as a setback to efforts to significantly degrade the group’s capabilities.
Statements issued by front-line communities in northern Israel following Trump’s announcement voiced concern over a ceasefire that would halt IDF activity in southern Lebanon.
“If the war in Lebanon against Hezbollah is halted, that would be a first-rate ethical, moral, and security failure,” the head of the Upper Galilee Regional Council, Moshe Davidovich, was cited by N12 news site as saying.
“It is unacceptable that we sent our finest sons to fight, and turned hundreds of thousands of residents sitting on the confrontation line into defenders of the state, only to stop just before the decisive moment,” added Davidovich, who also serves as chairman of the Confrontation Line Forum.

Trump declares Strait of Hormuz 'joint venture' with Iran as Tehran's tollbooth is set to rake in $1million per ship: 'It's a beautiful thing'
By ROSS IBBETSON, ASSOCIATE EDITOR and JON MICHAEL RAASCH, US POLITICAL REPORTER
Published: 08:57 EDT, 8 April 2026 | Updated: 12:25 EDT, 8 April 2026
Donald Trump has called a US-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz a 'joint venture' as Tehran prepares to charge ships up to $1 million per vessel to pass through the world's most critical oil artery.
Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire and will reopen the waterway while a 10-point peace plan is negotiated by both sides, Trump announced Wednesday.
The exact terms remain unsettled, but ships must notify intermediary companies linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of their cargo, destination and owner - with tolls of at least $1 per barrel payable in Chinese yuan or cryptocurrency.
Trump welcomed the idea on Wednesday, telling ABC: 'We're thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It's a way of securing it - also securing it from lots of other people.
'It's a beautiful thing.'
The Strait, through which a fifth of the world's oil flows, has been dubbed the 'Tehran Tollbooth' by analysts and traders as IRGC patrol boats will only escort vessels once payment clears.
Some analysts believe the scheme could net Iran as much as $500 billion over five years.
Hamid Hosseini, a spokesperson for Iran's Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters' Union, said that cargo checks were necessary to prevent the transport of weaponry.
'Iran needs to monitor what goes in and out of the strait to ensure these two weeks aren't used for transferring weapons,' Hosseini, whose industry association has close ties to the regime, told the FT.
'Everything can pass through, but the procedure will take time for each vessel, and Iran is not in a rush,' he added.
Hosseini's comments indicate that vessels must hug the northerly Iranian coast of the Strait - which will raise concerns for maritime insurers.
Tankers in the Persian Gulf on Wednesday received a radio alert warning that they would be targeted if they did not first gain transit approval from Iranian authorities.
'If any vessels try to transit without permission, [they] will be destroyed,' said the broadcast in English.
Western shipping giants were working frantically to establish details over whether the Strait was truly operational again.
Maersk, the world's second biggest shipping line, said it was 'working with urgency' to clarify the terms.
'The ceasefire may create transit opportunities, but it does not yet provide full maritime certainty,' it said, adding that it was maintaining a 'cautious approach' and would not immediately change any routes.
If Iran keeps its grip on the Strait, it will raise explosive questions for OPEC+, the oil producers' cartel, and redraw the balance of power in the region.
Saudi Arabia, one of the group's most powerful members, would regard Iranian control of the waterway as intolerable. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had urged Trump to crush the Iranian regime before the ceasefire.
Ali Shihabi, a commentator close to the Saudi royal court, told the FT: 'Allowing Iran any form of control over the strait would be a red line. The priority has to be unimpeded access through the strait.'
The ten-point plan, reported by Iran's Tasnim news agency, says that the US should accept Tehran's continued control over the Strait, recognize its right to uranium enrichment, lift all sanctions, pay compensation, and withdraw all troops from the region.
Trump vowed that Iran will not be able to enrich uranium and that the US will coordinate with Tehran to extract 'nuclear dust' buried deep underground after airstrikes.
The President wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday: 'There will be no enrichment of uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 bombers) nuclear "dust."'
The safety of the uranium was confirmed before an eleventh-hour deal was struck, the White House said.
'Nothing has been touched from the date of attack,' Trump said, claiming that the nuclear site has been watched closely since it was bombed.
It is not clear whether Trump was referring to the US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities in June, or to more recent strikes during the current Iran war.
Trump said that tariff and sanctions relief were being discussed as part of a peace plan with 'many' points already agreed.
Trump described the deal as 'total and complete victory' on Tuesday night.
The US and Iran will now engage in negotiations over the next two weeks, buying some time to try to reach a permanent settlement.
It is unlikely to be smooth sailing - but oil plunged below $100 per barrel for the first time in weeks and US stocks soared.
Following the confirmation of the deal, Trump hailed 'a big day for world peace' after agreeing to pause the attacks.
Iran has 'had enough' of the conflict, the US president said on Truth Social, and there will now be 'lots of positive action.'
Israel has also agreed to halt attacks on Iran for two weeks, a senior White House official told Axios, with the ceasefire taking effect once the Strait of Hormuz is reopened.
Iran accepted the Pakistan-brokered deal after a last-minute Chinese intervention urged Tehran to show flexibility over the war's economic fallout, three Iranian officials told the New York Times.
US crude oil prices plunged after Trump's announcement, with West Texas Intermediate contracts falling by more than 15 percent to $95 per barrel after hitting $116 earlier Tuesday.
Trump had warned Tuesday morning that 'a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again' if no deal was reached by his 8pm ET deadline.
Trump said that the 10-point proposal 'is a workable basis on which to negotiate,' despite saying on Monday that the deal was not 'good enough.'
Vice President JD Vance, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff have been leading US negotiations to end the war, launched on February 28 under the name Operation Epic Fury.
The deal came after Pakistani PM Sharif posted on X that major breakthroughs had been made between US and Iranian negotiators.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the announcement came with a caveat: 'There are discussions about face-to-face meetings between the United States and Iran, but nothing is final until it is announced by the President or the White House.'
Iran proposed the 10-point counter-proposal to US negotiators via Pakistani officials on Monday after the US gave Islamabad a 15-point proposal to begin a ceasefire.
The President refused to comment on the 10-point plan earlier on Tuesday, telling Fox News: 'I can't comment, because right now we're in heated negotiations.'
Sharif had called on both Trump and the Iranian regime to accept the two-week ceasefire before the President finally relented.
'To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture,' Sharif said on Tuesday afternoon.
'We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region.'

IDF reveals extent of Lebanese military's failure: 'An absolute lie'
The IDF says Hezbollah fired thousands of missiles from southern Lebanon, contradicting Lebanese army claims that the terror group had been disarmed.
Yoni Kempinski Apr 9, 2026, 6:31 PM (GMT+3)

Lebanese troops on the Israeli border
The IDF Arabic Language Spokesman Avichay Adraee published statistics and evidence on Thursday that refute the claims by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
According to the data, since the beginning of the current operation, the terror organization has launched approximately 3,000 mortars and missiles from the area between the Litani River and the border with Israel.
The data indicate that the launches were conducted from villages including Bint Jbil, Yatar, Qlailah, Baraashit, and Majdal Zoun.
According to the IDF Spokesperson, these statistics totally contradict the LAF's official statement published on January 8th, 2026, which stated that the army had completed the disarmament of Hezbollah in the area in question.
The IDF did not hold back on criticizing the Lebanese officials: "Today, it has become clear that this announcement was nothing but an absolute lie. These facts represent the greatest evidence of the catastrophic failure of the operation to disarm Hezbollah and to cleanse the area of its terrorist infrastructure."
It also revealed that not only did the LAF fail to remove the existing weapons, but it also allowed terrorists to reinforce its forces in the south.
According to the statement, Hezbollah terrorists were allowed to cross the river freely via bridges and main crossings that they used either to head south or to transport combat means from northern Lebanon to its south.

World Economic Forum Says Water, Soil, And Oxygen Should Not Be Infinitely Accessible. They Are Assets That Should Be Included In Global Economic Balance Sheets
“The More Smog in the Sky, The More People Will Buy!” -Mr. O'Hare. All of these things must and will be tokenized, reducing everything to datapoints and lines of code.
The WinePress's avatar
Apr 09, 2026The World Economic Forum says that the essential building blocks of life and the ecosystem — water, air and soil — all need to be commodified and must be accessed in limited and permissible quantities to the public. Carbon pricing and taxing is certainly not a new concept for the likes of the WEF, or those at the United Nations or the International Monetary Fund (IMF), but how that is defined and what it might look like in the new global economic system was only partially explained by those speaking at the WEF.
These views were expressed during a panel discussion at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions, held in Dalian, China, in 2024. The title of the discussion is called “Understanding Nature’s Ledger.”
The moderator, Magdalena Skipper, Editor-in-Chief for the journal Nature, began the talks by saying the panel “will emphasize the need to move beyond current economic indicators to mainstream natural capital in decision-making,” and “the need for proper accounting for ecosystems services.”
“Natural Capital” refers to “the stock of renewable and non-renewable natural resources (e.g., plants, animals, air, water, soils, minerals) that combine to yield a flow of benefits to people.”
Skipper added that “valuing economic models that prioritize assets such as clean water, clean air, nutritious food, human well-being is imperative.” “The good news, there is good news,” she added, “is that there are coordinated international efforts to expand beyond the traditional concepts of capital and profit.”

Bay Area-based tech company announces shocking layoff of nearly a quarter of its workforce
By Katie Jerkovich
Published April 8, 2026, 10:06 p.m. ETMore pain for the Bay Area tech sector as another company announces layoffs — this time a staggering 23% of the workforce.
The San Mateo action-based camera maker GoPro will let nearly a quarter of its workforce around the world go by the second quarter of 2026, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange commission.
The company, which first launched its camera line in the early 2000s, plans to cut some 145 jobs globally, representing 23% of the company’s ending first quarter head count of 631 employees, per the filing.
GoPro headquarters in San Mateo, California, with a view of the city and bay.
The cuts are expected to be completed by the end of the year, the filing read.
The move comes after GoPro’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan on April 7 to “reduce operating costs and drive stronger operating leverage.”
“Restructuring Plan is expected to cost the tech company between $11.5 million and $15 million. The costs include one time benefits payouts to those “affected employees, including but not limited to severance payments and healthcare benefits,” the filing noted.
An article in November 2025, noted that GoPro sales had declined by nearly 37% year over year.
Despite the drop, CEO Nicolas Woodman put a positive spin on the way things stood at the time.
“Q3 marked a meaningful step forward in our strategy to diversify, grow, and restore profitability to GoPro’s business,” Woodman said. “We successfully launched three new TAM-expanding hardware products — our MAX2 360 camera, LIT HERO camera and Fluid Pro AI gimbal — alongside several new software offerings. We expect to return to revenue growth and profitability beginning Q4 2025 and in 2026.”

Several people commented on a Reddit Post about the job cuts.
“Another round of layoffs (not to be confused with the previous layoffs, this is new). This is a brutal time to be laid off, I hope they land on their feet,” one person wrote. “This is 100% on Nick Woodman. He should have been laid off years ago.”
Another added, “Might be a good move for them, everyone laying off, thousands of employees, they just following the trend. For investors it sounds appealing.”
“Salaries cut off, new cameras + new processor at NBA Show -> Their stock will probably jump a lot on the next few weeks. So with this changes + new revenue if the launch is a success, might actually save them as a company.”
On Tuesday, it was announced that some 700 workers at another Bay Area tech company, Oracle, would be out of work by June statewide.
The statewide tally along with another nearly 500 firings in Seattle, is part of the software maker’s recently announced bloodbath that is reportedly in the thousands of jobs.
Last month, a 6 a.m. email message was sent out to workers notifying fired employees that they were out.
The message from one of the world’s largest software companies, chaired by billionaire Larry Ellison, informed “thousands” of workers across the globe that March 31 would be their last day.
Two people familiar with the matter confirmed to CNBC that the layoffs involved thousands of jobs.
Oracle told The California Post that it would decline comment when asked about how many jobs were being cut.
As of May 2025, the software company employed around 162,0000 full-time employees, according to its annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The California Post reached out to GoPro for further comment.

Europe Begins Energy Rationing as the Crisis Moves Into Daily Life
Posted Apr 9, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
Europe is now removing any doubt about the seriousness of this crisis, because governments do not tell millions of people to stay home from work unless there is a genuine shortage forming beneath the surface. The European Union has begun urging citizens to work from home, drive less, reduce speed limits, and cut overall energy consumption as part of an emergency response to the shock created by the Iran war.
The language coming out of officials makes it clear that this is not temporary. European authorities are warning of a “very serious situation” with no immediate end in sight, and that is consistent with what we are seeing globally as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted one of the most critical energy arteries in the world. Roughly 20% of global oil and gas normally moves through that route, and Europe alone depends on it for a meaningful portion of its energy mix, including about 7% of its oil, 8.5% of LNG, and as much as 40% of jet fuel and diesel. When that flow is disrupted, there is no quick replacement.
What governments are doing now is trying to reduce demand because they cannot increase supply fast enough. The International Energy Agency has even outlined measures such as reducing highway speeds, limiting private car use, encouraging public transportation, and shifting work patterns to remote where possible. This is not environmental policy, this is rationing by another name. It is the same playbook we saw in the 1970s, only now it is being implemented through modern systems rather than overt fuel lines and shortages at the pump.
The push toward remote work is particularly telling because it highlights how deeply energy is embedded in the economy. Commuting, office buildings, transportation networks, all of these consume energy, and by reducing physical movement, governments are attempting to lower overall demand without explicitly declaring rationing. Some countries are even moving toward four-day workweeks and limiting travel to essential activities only, which again shows that the problem is not theoretical but already impacting how economies function on a daily basis.
This ties directly into the broader supply shock that has been described as the largest in modern history. The International Energy Agency has warned that this crisis is worse than the shocks of 1973, 1979, and even the recent energy disruptions combined, and that is because the current system is far more interconnected and dependent on continuous energy flows. Europe entered this crisis with already low gas storage levels, estimated around 30% capacity after a harsh winter, which has left it particularly vulnerable as prices have surged and supplies tightened.
What the public still does not fully grasp is that this is only the beginning phase. The oil and gas that were already in transit before the disruption are still working their way through the system, and that has delayed the full impact. Governments are trying to get ahead of that moment by cutting demand now, because once those flows diminish further, the gap between supply and consumption will become impossible to ignore. That is when rationing becomes unavoidable rather than advisory.
There is also a secondary effect that is already emerging, which is the impact on industry. Energy-intensive sectors across Europe, including chemicals and manufacturing, are facing rising costs and in some cases reducing output or adding surcharges of up to 30% just to stay operational. This is how an energy crisis turns into an economic crisis, because once production slows, prices rise, and growth begins to stall while inflation accelerates, creating the classic stagflation scenario.
The idea that economies can continue operating at full capacity while energy supply is constrained is simply not realistic. When energy becomes scarce, everything above it must contract, and that is exactly what we are seeing with reduced work schedules, remote work mandates, and transportation limits.
Governments are trying to manage the transition in a way that avoids panic, but the measures themselves reveal the severity of the situation. Once you begin telling entire populations to change how they work, travel, and consume energy, you have already crossed into crisis territory.
This will not resolve quickly. Officials are already warning that the shock will be long-lasting, and that suggests the current measures are just the first step. If the disruption to global energy flows continues, these temporary adjustments will evolve into more formalized restrictions, and what is now being presented as voluntary guidance will become mandatory policy.
Energy sits at the foundation of the entire economy, and once that foundation is disrupted, everything built on top of it begins to shift. Europe is now entering that phase, and the move toward remote work and reduced consumption is simply the first visible sign that the system is under strain.

Gulf leaders tell Trump: No ceasefire without ending Iranian threat
With about a day left before the deadline expires, the US president held a marathon of calls with regional leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. At the center of the talks was the possibility of a significant escalation in the fighting against the Iranian regime. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed said there should be no ceasefire without removing the threat from Tehran.

Last modified: 04-07-2026 00:28US President Donald Trump held a series of phone calls with regional leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On the agenda were the state of the war, possible ways to bring it to an end, including ceasefire proposals, and the issue of the Strait of Hormuz.
All the Gulf leaders Trump spoke with, including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed and Netanyahu, reiterated that there should be no ceasefire without achieving the central objective of completely removing the Iranian threat.
According to two diplomatic sources, the Gulf leaders made clear that even after the heavy blows it has suffered, Iran would rebuild its offensive capabilities if given the opportunity and would continue its policy of threatening regional stability.
The sources added that Trump's position has not changed, and that a ceasefire would be possible only if Iran accepts the basic conditions that have been set for it: dismantling its nuclear project, limiting its missile capabilities, immediately reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and halting aid and support for terrorist organizations across the region.
Regarding Hormuz, the United Arab Emirates expressed willingness to join an immediate move to reopen the strait, while Saudi Arabia promised logistical and air support for such a move. Both countries voiced concern over a possible Iranian response to strikes on power stations and oil facilities, which, according to threats from Tehran, would target oil fields, power stations and desalination plants.

by Raw Egg Nationalist
April 6th, 2026 9:30 AM
Diesel has now hit $8 a gallon in San Francisco—the highest recorded price in a US city, ever
On 2 March, in the opening days of the US-Iran war, diesel was $3.90 a gallon in California
Diesel has now hit $8 a gallon in San Francisco—the highest recorded price in a US city, ever.
Across California, the average price of diesel was $7.67 a gallon on Sunday, also the highest average ever recorded.
On 2 March, in the opening days of the US-Iran war, diesel was $3.90 a gallon in California.
As The New York Post notes, “The spike comes as the rest of the U.S. sees diesel prices begin to stabilize after soaring in the wake of military action against Iran and the closure of the Straits of Hormuz.”
Nationwide diesel prices rose just 2.6% in the last week of March, with three regions of the US seeing a fall in prices.
In California, by contrast, prices rose by 34.9 cents.
The massive increase is explained, in large part, by the fact California has no direct oil pipelines from outside the state, meaning almost all supplies must be imported, whether by ship, rail or road.
There are also a limited number of refineries, and strict environmental regulations have made the market more vulnerable to shocks and disruptions.
Soaring prices will be passed on to consumers.
The California Trucking Association said increasing diesel prices “will be passed down to consumers in the price of everyday goods like construction materials, groceries, health care supplies and retail products.”
The Independent Grocers Alliance said shoppers could see higher grocery prices this summer.
“While fuel is not the largest single cost in food, it is the most pervasive,” the group said.
Californians already face some of the highest costs of living in the US.

“The Everything Meltdown”: Global Supply Chains Are Collapsing And Most People Cannot Even Imagine The Pain That Is Coming
April 5, 2026 by Michael
When global supply chains collapse, the pain is not felt immediately. Tankers that left their destinations before the war with Iran began are still arriving at their destinations, products that were manufactured prior to the war still fill our shelves, and we are still eating food that was produced last year. So even though global supply chains are collapsing all around us, most people don’t feel it yet. But if this war with Iran drags on for months, the pain that we will soon experience will be unbelievable.
Anyone that thinks that the global economy can continue to function at or near current levels without sufficient supplies of oil, natural gas, plastic and fertilizer is just being delusional.
The only way that we can avoid “the everything meltdown” is if this war ends quickly.
Even if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened tomorrow, we will not see a return to pre-war conditions any time soon because damage that has been done to energy infrastructure in the Middle East will take years to fully rebuild.
With each passing day, the damage is getting even worse. For example, the biggest natural gas processing facility in the United Arab Emirates was just shut down following an Iranian attack…
Abu Dhabi’s Habshan gas facility, the UAE’s largest natural gas processing site, was shut down after debris from an intercepted Iranian missile caused a fire. The plant processes and distributes gas from the emirate’s fields for domestic use, making it a critical component of the country’s energy infrastructure. The attack comes amid a series of Iranian strikes on Gulf energy assets, including oil refineries and desalination plants in Kuwait, underscoring the vulnerability of regional infrastructure.
And just hours ago, the Iranians caused substantial damage at the Shuwaikh Oil Sector Complex in Kuwait…
An Iranian drone attack caused a fire at the Shuwaikh Oil Sector Complex, Kuwaiti authorities confirmed on Sunday morning.
The attack caused no casualties, the official Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.
The facility hosts both the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and the Oil Ministry’s headquarters, KUNA noted.
Over the past month, we have witnessed so much destruction to vital infrastructure, and it appears that the war is going to escalate to an entirely new level this week.
If President Trump follows through on his threats to destroy Iran’s power grid, the Iranians have warned that they will unleash unprecedented attacks on energy infrastructure all over the region.
One energy industry insider is warning that we are facing “sustained, compounding cost pressure across every industry”…
“This is headed toward sustained, compounding cost pressure across every industry that touches fuel, which is effectively every industry,” said Herman Nieuwoudt, president of IFS Energy & Resources.
Nieuwoudt says what we’re seeing right now isn’t a single price shock.
“It’s the consequence of the largest energy supply disruption in modern history layered on top of six years of structural volatility,” he said. “These disruptions cascade through manufacturing, packaging, agriculture, transportation, and retail in ways that take months to fully materialize,” he added.
He is right.
Literally just about everything is going to cost more in the months ahead.
Virtually our entire trucking industry runs on diesel, and at this point the average price of diesel fuel in the U.S. has reached a staggering $5.53 a gallon…
Diesel, widely used in farming, construction and trucking, among other industries, has risen even more sharply than gas, with the U.S. average this week hitting $5.53 a gallon, up from $3.64 a year ago, according to AAA.
This is survivable, but what are we going to do when it reaches 10 dollars a gallon?
Already, the average price of diesel fuel in San Francisco has surpassed 8 dollars a gallon…
For the first time on record, average diesel prices in San Francisco have surged past $8 per gallon, according to new data from GasBuddy—marking an unprecedented milestone for any U.S. city.
Maybe you don’t care about the price of diesel fuel.
But you should, because the cost of diesel fuel is going to be passed along to you.
Already, shipping companies are starting to impose very large fuel surcharges on their customers…
Citing higher energy costs, the United States Postal Service announced last month that it’s planning to impose an 8% surcharge on Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage and Parcel Select services.
E-commerce giant Amazon also said that, beginning April 17, it plans to add a 3.5% fuel surcharge on third-party sellers, while FedEx and UPS have also recently introduced fuel surcharges, according to the Associated Press.
Stuff doesn’t just show up on your doorstep or in the stores by magic.
It takes fuel to move stuff around, and so all of the stuff that you buy on a regular basis is about to get more expensive.
And that is really bad news, because even before the war we were already in the midst of a historic cost of living crisis.
In many areas of the U.S., the price of a pound of ground beef is now higher than the federal minimum wage…
The cost of a pound of ground beef has hit a major threshold. Depending on where you shop, the grocery staple likely costs more than the federal minimum wage.
Money analyzed ground beef prices at seven of the most popular grocery chains across the U.S., finding that 1 pound of the typical 20% fat ground beef costs between $6.49 and $8.96. Organic, grass-fed and leaner varieties tend to cost much more.
On the other hand, the federal minimum wage sits at $7.25 per hour.
In 1988, you could get a pound of ground beef for about $1.30.
This is what happens when you destroy your economy.
And now the war in the Middle East is going to make things much, much worse.
Just about everything that we buy either contains plastic or comes wrapped in plastic.
Unfortunately, the war with Iran is severely disrupting global plastic supply chains…
Plastics are core to the modern economy, and a troubling new Bloomberg report indicates that several producers of monoethylene glycol (MEG) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) have declared force majeure, as tanker flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain heavily disrupted.
For context, MEG and PTA are the two primary feedstocks used to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyester fibers. These petrochemicals are critical to the production of everyday consumer goods that make life in the developed world convenient, including plastic bottles, food packaging, clothing, home furnishings, and a wide range of consumer and industrial goods.
More specifically, MEG is used in the production of polyester yarn, polyester staple fiber, PET resin, and PET film. It also plays a critical role in antifreeze, coolants, adhesives, coatings, and enamels.
In other words, MEG and PTA are foundational petrochemical building blocks for the modern economy. Any sustained disruption to these flows would be detrimental to the global economy.
I really wish that this wasn’t true, but our economy simply cannot function without plastic.
So what are we going to do now?
Every industry on the entire planet is going to be affected by the supply chain disruptions that are occurring.
In India, the textile industry has been “completely paralyzed” by this war…
Apocalyptic economic fallout. NHK confirms Trump’s disastrous war has completely paralyzed India’s massive textile industry. With 90% of their LPG imports choked off at the Strait of Hormuz, HALF A MILLION workers just lost their jobs. The global supply chain is collapsing.
If this war keeps going for an extended period of time, things will only get worse from here.
In other words, enjoy this moment, because this is the best that conditions are going to be for quite a while.
Personally, I am more concerned about global food supplies than anything else.
According to the United Nations, the number of people around the world experiencing “acute hunger” was at the highest level ever recorded even before this war erupted.
Now farmers all over the northern hemisphere can’t get the nitrogen fertilizer that they desperately need because it is locked up in the Middle East…
Fertilizer is the link between energy and food. Natural gas is not just a fuel; it is the primary feedstock for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers through a process developed over a century ago called the Haber–Bosch method. Natural gas goes in, ammonia comes out, ammonia becomes urea, urea gets spread on cornfields in Iowa and wheat fields in Kansas and rice paddies in Asia. About 80 percent of nitrogen fertilizer production costs are attributable to natural gas. When the Strait of Hormuz is practically shuttered, you do not just block oil tankers and LNG carriers. You block the ships carrying urea and ammonia that the world’s farmers were expecting to receive this spring.
The numbers are sobering. The Persian Gulf region accounts for roughly a third of globally traded urea exports and approximately 25 percent of ammonia trade. Qatar’s state fertilizer company—QAFCO, considered the world’s largest urea supplier—shut down its plant when gas was cut. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf producers have seen exports stall. China, the other major global fertilizer exporter, has restricted outbound shipments to protect its domestic supply. These two supply sources together represent a substantial share of the global market, and both are simultaneously constrained.
For now, we are still eating food that was produced in 2025.
So everything still seems fine.
But in the not too distant future, annual crops such as wheat, barley and corn are going to be much more expensive.
Meanwhile, crops that do not have to be planted every year such as olives and grapes will not be seriously affected.
Nitrogen fertilizer must be applied at the proper time or it won’t work.
If the Strait of Hormuz opens up this summer, it won’t be possible to reverse the crop losses that we are facing.
We need the Strait of Hormuz to be opened immediately, but that simply is not going to happen.

Leaked Goldman Sachs Document Paints Bleak Picture For World Oil Supplies
Jesse Stiller
DCNF Associate Editor
An internal note leaked on social media from Goldman Sachs on Friday warned that a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could crater worldwide oil supply.
The “Are We Running Out Of Oil?” note analyzed product supplies, price responses and anecdotal angles suggesting that several countries could face either widespread oil scarcity or complete supply drains in critical energy sectors like fuel oil and gasoline, according to MarketWatch. Goldman Sachs’ research was published on Friday and made private, though several X users leaked graphs and analysis on social media. (RELATED: US Economy Could Be In Dire Straits As Hormuz Slams Shut)
“Our three-way analysis highlights already critically low supplies of petrochemical feedstocks — naphtha and LPG — in Asia, with cross-product scarcity in multiple Asian countries in April,” the note reads in part.
Goldman Sachs declined to comment when reached by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

X user ChrisO_Wiki published a multi-post thread highlighting that shipping through Hormuz has fallen by 94% since the start of the Iran war. The user further noted that the fuel oil primarily used for heating commercial and residential buildings could run out completely in multiple Southeast Asian countries.
“China, India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan face the loss of 100% of their fuel oil supply. Outside Asia, the US is worst affected, with the loss of around 60% of its supply,” the thread reads in part.
Per the report, the United States would only lose about 3% of its diesel and jet fuel product supply. However, around 13% of U.S. Naphtha supply could also be lost. Gasoline stockpiles would only fall by 1% if exports were to remain at zero.
The thread also highlights that most major countries have at least 40 days’ supply of crude oil on average, with the exception being the United Kingdom at 14 days.
Due to strategic stocks being drawn down to make up for supply gaps, supply rationing would become “inevitable” and shortages would worsen if output from the strait remained at zero, the thread says. The user also cites a map from J.P. Morgan, showing that the U.S. and Europe will receive their last jet fuel tanker shipments by April 15.
“The consequences are likely to be severe, with physical shortages leading to rationing, demand destruction (flight cancellations, factories closing), and soaring prices as Asian countries pay premiums to divert oil and fuel tankers that would otherwise have gone to the West,” the thread concludes.
The report comes as tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalate, with President Donald Trump issuing an expletive-laden rant demanding that Iran “Open the Fuckin’ Strait.” That social media post followed another one made on Saturday, warning “all hell will reign [sic] down” on Iran if the strait remained closed.
Some companies are already feeling surging fuel prices, with United Airlines increasing checked baggage fees by over $10 on a passenger’s first two bags each. Gas prices in the U.S. have also surged to over $4 a gallon, a sharp increase from under $3 in late February.

Trump dragging Americans ‘into hell’ – Iranian parliament speaker
Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has dismissed the US president’s threat to bomb civilian infrastructure unless the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened
Published 6 Apr, 2026 00:37 | Updated 6 Apr, 2026 01:40
US President Donald Trump’s war with Iran is making life worse for ordinary Americans, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has said in response to ultimatums over the Strait of Hormuz.
In an expletive-laden post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump warned that Iran would be “living in hell” unless the vital waterway is reopened to shipping by Tuesday, 8 PM Eastern Time (midnight GMT). He also repeated his threat to bomb Iranian power plants and bridges.
Responding on X, Qalibaf urged Trump to end what he described as a “dangerous game.”
“Your reckless moves are dragging the United States into a living HELL for every single family, and our whole region is going to burn because you insist on following Netanyahu’s commands,” Qalibaf wrote, referring to the Israeli prime minister.
“Make no mistake: You won’t gain anything through war crimes,” the Iranian official added.
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz to “enemy ships” shortly after the US and Israel initiated their air campaign on February 28. Tehran later said navigation rules would change and that the strait would remain inaccessible to the US and Israel for an extended period.
Traffic through the strait normally accounts for 20–25% of global oil shipments and around 20% of liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade. Disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict are driving up energy prices, including in the US, where the average price of gasoline has risen to $4 per gallon for the first time since 2022.
Russia’s envoy to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, said Washington fails to understand that Tehran would only accept agreements based on “reasonable compromises,” not ultimatums.

As President Donald Trump's ultimatum nears its end, there are almost no contacts between Washington and Tehran. Israeli officials believe the failure of the talks is pushing the war into a decisive economic phase. The goal: hitting the Iranian oil and transport sectors until the economy is paralyzed and the regime collapses.
by Danny Zaken Published on 04-04-2026 22:57 Last modified: 04-05-2026 00:01
With just two days left before the end of Trump's latest 10-day ultimatum to Iran, there are almost no contacts between the sides after most of the countries involved in the talks stepped back. Pakistan, the surprise mediator, concluded that the gaps between the parties were too wide. The US sent a 15-point document that Iran viewed as a surrender note, and even the bare minimum needed for indirect negotiations under fire failed to materialize.
As Israel Hayom reported, the US informed Israel that those talks had failed and that dialogue with Iran had reached a dead end. The main reason for the impasse is an internal dispute within Iran's leadership over how to end the war. On one side, President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi received backing from former Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in an article proposing a framework for an agreement.
On the other side, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, led by Ahmad Vahidi, believes that despite the enormous damage, the regime can survive, that Trump will eventually lose patience, and that the Gulf states and Israel will not be able to sustain the economic paralysis for long. Trump tried to cultivate an alternative leadership, but apparently did not succeed, and at this stage there is no legitimacy within the regime for negotiations.
Why did the US-Iran talks collapse?
Egypt also tried to mediate, but came under sharp criticism from the Gulf states, as it was seen as sitting on the fence rather than supporting its Arab sisters under attack from Iran. Turkey is still trying, but Iran has launched missiles at it at least three times as well, and that channel has effectively been cut off.
Oman, which had mediated before the war and was itself unexpectedly attacked by Iran, received a message from the US that only a positive Iranian response to basic American demands would lead to progress, and it too withdrew. France, whose involvement in the talks Israel Hayom previously reported, received a particularly cold shoulder from the Americans and shifted to direct discussions with Iran over the passage of its ships and tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
France, incidentally, has angered the Gulf states by torpedoing a proposed UN Security Council resolution calling for military action to reopen Hormuz, and also by blocking US military flights over its territory. According to a senior Arab diplomatic source in the region, the Gulf Cooperation Council, which is expected to convene again at the start of the week, is also set to make decisions regarding its ties with France.
The United Arab Emirates has already announced that it will withdraw from a financing agreement for development of the new French Rafale fighter jet, and the Gulf state is expected to reduce its military purchases from France. The UAE, which has absorbed the brunt of the Iranian attacks, is also leading the Gulf states in advocating a hard line against Iran.
What is the next move in the war?
Anwar Gargash, adviser to the UAE leader and the country's most influential figure on foreign policy, responded to Zarif by saying he had avoided dealing with the central issue: Iran's long-standing aggression toward its Arab neighbors. He added mockingly that Iran's strategy is to portray total destruction as a victory.
Behind the scenes, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait support the Israeli position that attacks on Iran should not stop until its military threat to the region and to the Strait of Hormuz is removed. Trump is attentive to that position, and the expectation is that given the current rupture with Iran, the fighting will continue for at least another week and is likely to intensify from this coming Monday.
A limited US ground operation at strategic sites also cannot be ruled out. On the working assumption that the regime will not accept the American demands and that its overthrow is still out of reach, the direction the US appears to be taking in order to bring about Iran's collapse is the economic one.
What will the economic campaign look like?
As part of the escalating attacks, the targets expected to come under fire include additional bridges and major railway lines, especially those leading to the capital, Tehran. The expanded target bank also includes various sectors of the oil industry, both in extraction and in related products, including petrochemical industries.
The main reason is that these industries are controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and serve as a primary source of income for it.
"At a not-so-distant stage, the economic issue will begin to have an impact. Remember what brought down the Soviet Union: economic collapse. Already today, most public-sector workers in Iran are not being paid, including large parts of the regular army. That is in contrast to the forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its various affiliated mechanisms, where payments are continuing," a diplomatic source involved in analyzing war scenarios explained.
"Many factories have shut down or been taken out of operation, entire sectors of the economy have ceased to function, and that economic burden is having an impact. Even if the war ended now, the regime would not be able to begin reconstruction without a full lifting of sanctions," the source added.
And that leads to the next phase of the economic war: a complete halt to Iran's oil exports, its oxygen pipeline, which has already been hit hard since the start of the war. This economic move, which over the past year has deepened the crisis as sanctions enforcement intensified, is ultimately expected to bring about economic collapse. According to the source, no ideology, however fanatical, will be able to prevent that.

We must face the end of the era of decisive victories
Opinion: Grandiose declarations about the defeat of Hezbollah and Iran will end in disappointment; The eradication of the axis of evil and all its branches remains essential, but there is no point in repeating meaningless illusions
Ben-Dror Yemini|Yesterday | 21:55
They don't stop with the grandiose statements, so someone needs to tell them the truth. We are no longer in the era of great and decisive victories. Great powers do not win. Even strong states do not win. In recent weeks, this has been evident in the war against Iran. There will be no winners, even if Iran suffers damage exceeding a trillion dollars. Hezbollah will not be disarmed, no matter how many statements Defense Minister Israel Katz makes — five a week or five a day.
We are living in a new era. For more than four years, Russia — still considered a superpower — has been trying to subdue Ukraine. It has failed. The United States is striking Iran, but if the regime collapses, it will likely be due to a popular uprising. Bombings can help, but they do not bring victory. You can cause massive destruction — to industries, to war production, even to infrastructure — but that is not victory. The leader of the world’s most powerful country effectively admitted that he does not intend, and likely cannot, reopen the Strait of Hormuz or extract uranium. But what does it matter — he has already declared victory.
There is no need to look far. Israel is a regional power — even a global one, Netanyahu boasted — in yet another speech in which he seems to believe that words create reality. Israel may indeed be a power, but in the style of this new era — like Russia, like the United States.
Israel fought Hamas for two years. Two years. There was no victory, certainly not a decisive one. It was clear from the outset — and written in this column from the very first days of the war — that this was not only a war, but a broader campaign. It was clear that international pressure, including halting arms shipments, would be part of that campaign. It was clear that diplomatic deterioration would come — and it did, in full force. But the “strategist” who led us to October 7 refuses to understand. He replaced victory with words about victory. Hamas still controls nearly half of the Gaza Strip. It is weakened, damaged, hurt — but still standing. Victory?
This did not begin with the current conflicts. The Soviet Union did not win in Afghanistan. It sank into a decade-long quagmire and withdrew. Russia learned nothing and invaded Ukraine, suffering roughly a thousand deaths a day. The United States entered the same quagmire to remove the Taliban, and after nearly two decades handed power back to that very same Taliban.
We have our own boastful speeches. After the ceasefire with Hezbollah in November 2024, Netanyahu said: “This is no longer the same Hezbollah. We pushed it back decades… we destroyed most of its missiles and rockets.” Just over six months later, in an interview with Ayala Hasson at the end of Operation Rising Lion, Netanyahu said: “Hezbollah has collapsed. The moment Hezbollah collapsed, this movement essentially fell to its knees. We are on the way to a huge victory.” And last week, once again, Netanyahu declared a major victory over Iran and Hezbollah: “Israel is no longer just a regional power. It is a global power.”
Almost everything Netanyahu said is true: we eliminated, we destroyed, we struck. But that is not victory. The north is still under constant fire, yet declarations of victory seem more important. Not only Netanyahu, but many others — commanders and commentators alike — struggle to grasp that we are in a different era. So why, for heaven’s sake, repeat the same illusions?
These words are not meant to weaken resolve. On the contrary, dismantling the axis of evil in all its forms remains essential. But when residents of the north are promised that Hezbollah will be disarmed, it leads to frustration and national disappointment. Boastful declarations of victory do not strengthen national resilience — they undermine it.

BREAKING REPORT: Both F-15 pilots are rescued and SAFE
Apr. 3, 2026 7:35 pm by The Right Scoop
It’s being reported tonight that both of the F-15 pilots, who ejected after they were shot down by Iran today, are said to be safe.
Here’s the news:
BREAKING: General Holt Tells WABC That Both Crew Members in F-15 Crash Are Safe, Citing Two High-Level Sources
Here’s more from NBC News, including news on another jet that was downed by Iran today during the search and rescue efforts:
U.S. forces were searching for an F-15E crew member after a two-seater fighter jet went down over Iran, a U.S. official said Friday. The other crew member has been rescued. Iran shot down the F-15E Strike Eagle, a U.S. official said, and the American military was scrambling to find the second aviator after a regional governor offered a bounty for its crew. A U.S. aircraft that was mobilized to support the search and rescue mission was also struck by Iranian fire after the F-15E jet was downed, a U.S. official told NBC News. That aircraft, a single-pilot A-10 Thunderbolt, known as a Warthog, made it to Kuwaiti airspace, where the pilot ejected and the aircraft crashed, the official said. The pilot is safe and the A-10 is down in Kuwait, according to the official. Two U.S. military Blackhawk helicopters that were involved in search and rescue efforts were also struck by Iranian fire, but the service members were unharmed, according to a U.S. official. In a brief phone interview on Friday, President Donald Trump declined to discuss specifics of the rescue operation. When asked if Iran’s actions would negatively affect any negotiations to end the war, the president said, “No, not at all. No, it’s war.”I’ve been looking for a CENTCOM statement all day long, but haven’t seen one yet. Glad to know both pilots are rescue and safe.

U.S. Hypersonic Missile Test Signals Race To Deploy Next-Gen Weapons
Dallas Express

The U.S. Army and Navy conducted a successful test of a common hypersonic missile on March 26 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, advancing a key priority identified by defense officials to accelerate the development of next-generation battlefield capabilities.
According to a Department of War press release on April 2, the joint test supports efforts to deploy hypersonic weapons across both land- and sea-based platforms.
These systems are designed to travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5 and strike heavily defended or time-sensitive targets.
The test aligns with a broader Pentagon strategy to rapidly field advanced technologies for near-term use in combat operations.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, defense officials identified hypersonic weapons as one of six critical technology areas necessary to maintain battlefield advantage.

“Our adversaries are moving fast, but we will move faster,” Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael said when announcing the initiative. “The warfighter is not asking for results tomorrow; they need them today.”
Michael added, “These six Critical Technology Areas are not just priorities; they are imperatives. The American warfighter will wield the most advanced technology to maximize lethality. This is how the War Department wins wars.”
The hypersonic test reflects that urgency, as military leaders work to transition emerging technologies from development into operational use.
Hypersonic weapons differ from traditional missiles by combining extreme speed with maneuverability, making them more difficult to detect and intercept.
The push to expand these capabilities also places increased pressure on the U.S. defense supply chain.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, the federal government has invested in domestic production of critical minerals such as gallium and scandium, which are used in missile defense systems and hypersonic weapons. A $29.9 million award supported the development of a production facility, including work tied to Cedar Park, Texas.
Defense officials have framed such investments as necessary to reduce reliance on foreign sources and strengthen national security.
The Army and Navy’s continued testing signals a broader effort to accelerate deployment timelines, reduce costs, and ensure the United States maintains a technological edge in future conflicts.

Earthquake swarm erupts near Atlantic's deepest point... highlighting East Coast tsunami scenario
By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 10:30 EDT, 3 April 2026 | Updated: 10:49 EDT, 3 April 2026
Dozens of earthquakes have been detected near the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, raising concerns about seismic risks in a region capable of producing powerful quakes.
At least 50 earthquakes have struck along the Puerto Rico Trench region north of the Virgin Islands since April 1, with six reported Friday morning. A magnitude 5.0 earthquake was also recorded on March 31, just before the recent swarm began.
The earthquakes ranged in magnitude from 1.6 to 4.3, with most measuring between 3.0 and 3.4.
The Puerto Rico Trench, located about 75 miles north of Puerto Rico at the boundary between the Caribbean and North American plates, stretches more than 500 miles, with its deepest point, known as Milwaukee Deep, plunging more than 28,000 feet below sea level.
Scientists have conducted extensive studies to assess tsunami risks along the US Atlantic coast, using hundreds of simulated earthquake scenarios to identify the most dangerous potential sources.
Computer models show that extremely powerful earthquakes in the trench, ranging from magnitude 8.6 to 8.9, could generate tsunami waves reaching about 11 to 16 feet in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Observers also pointed to what appeared to be two separate clusters of earthquake activity forming along the trench system.
This unusual pattern has drawn attention from those tracking seismic conditions across the region, with many saying: 'This may need to be watched.'
Meteorologist Zack Fradella with FOX 8 News shared on Facebook: 'Over 100 earthquakes over the last week.
'Did you know tsunamis are possible in this part of the world? Although they're rare, if you plan a vacation down in Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands, keep it in mind.'
Locals have reported higher-than-usual surf along the beach in Puerto Rico amid the swarms.
Guoqing Lin, a professor of marine geosciences at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, said: 'Puerto Rico is located on the boundary of the North American and Caribbean plates and is sandwiched between four seismogenic zones.
'This diffuse and complex tectonic setting makes the island a seismically active region.'
The most destructive earthquake that hit Puerto Rico occurred more than 100 years ago, a 7.3 magnitude quake that struck in October 1918, triggering a tsunami and killing 116 people.
'Locally generated tsunamis tend to be caused by large earthquakes near the coast, those above magnitude 7.0,' said Lin.
'This one did not trigger a tsunami. Interestingly, it is believed that the Puerto Rico Trench is capable of producing earthquakes greater than magnitude 8.0.'
A tsunami is a series of powerful ocean waves created when large amounts of water are suddenly pushed out of place.
This most often happens along underwater fault lines where tectonic plates meet, especially in deep ocean trenches.
When one plate slips beneath another during an earthquake, a process known as subduction, it can shift massive amounts of water and trigger tsunami waves.
After the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami on December 26, 2004, scientists around the world increased efforts to better understand how these deadly waves form and spread.
In the US, much of that work has been led by the National Center for Tsunami Research, part of NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.
Researchers created computer simulations to show what could happen if a magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck in the Puerto Rico Trench.
The model, developed by NOAA’s National Center for Tsunami Research, shows how tsunami waves could travel across the Atlantic and affect the US East Coast.
The shape of the ocean floor plays a major role in how tsunami waves move.
Underwater ridges and slopes can steer wave energy, sometimes focusing it toward specific coastlines.
In this simulation, scientists selected an earthquake location designed to demonstrate how widely tsunami waves could spread along the East Coast, with particular attention given to potential flooding risks in Virginia.
The model showed how the waves would rise and fall as they traveled across the Atlantic Ocean.
In some areas, the water level was projected to rise by more than about four inches above normal sea level, while in others it dropped by more than four inches below normal levels.
Additional wave movements were smaller, with water levels shifting by up to about four inches above or below normal sea level as the tsunami continued moving toward the coastline.

Not just gasoline: Rising costs from Iran conflict will impact food, plastics and electronics
The Strait of Hormuz is an artery through which oil, natural gas, petrochemicals and nitrogen fertilizers flow. Just about every consumer product will be more expensive with increased costs of diesel, gasoline, fertilizers, plastics and helium, all of which require oil products. How high prices go and what the impact will be on the economy will depend on how long the conflict continues, and its eventual outcome.
The markets reflect a feeling that there will be no immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway off the coast of Iran through which 20% of the world’s oil flows.
The situation will impact prices of almost every consumer product manufactured, though how much and when remain a matter of speculation. Here’s a look at some of the primary goods that will see price increases in the coming days.
Trump: "We don’t need it"
In his speech, Trump tried to assure the U.S. that we produce enough energy to satisfy demand. "We produce more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. And we're in great shape for the future. The U.S. imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait and won't be taking any in the future. We don't need it,” the president said.
While the U.S. produces a lot of oil and imports very little oil from the Middle East, Americans will be competing with global demand. Major restrictions on supply anywhere in the world impact prices everywhere.
Every consumer product is produced by millions of supply chains stretching across hundreds of countries. While wind and solar supplies about 15% of the electricity generated worldwide, electricity is only about 21% of the total energy consumed. The bulk of it is industry and transportation, so those supply chains are powered almost entirely by fossil fuels.
Besides the energy powering those supply chains, countless products are derived from oil and natural gas. That means there’s really no product that won’t, to some degree, be impacted by rising oil prices.
Gasoline and diesel pricesAverage gasoline prices in the U.S. were at $4.08 on Thursday, according to AAA. This was more than $1 higher than they were a month ago when the conflict in Iran had just begun. Diesel prices were at $5.51 on Thursday. The highest recorded AAA price for diesel was $5.81, set on June 19, 2022.
Diesel is the primary fuel for industrial transportation. It powers public transportation and some cars and light trucks, but also freight and delivery trucks, military vehicles, fishing boats and farm equipment.
Relying on national security as a basis, the Trump administration has been taking steps to increase production, including restarting oil platforms in California against the state policies that seek to eliminate the industry. The administration also voted to exempt oil and gas operations in the Gulf of America from the Endangered Species Act in order to prevent environmental groups from using litigation to further restrict supply.
During a press conference earlier this month, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell touched upon the economic impacts rising diesel prices will have.
“I think it’s a more general concern than that. It’s diesel prices because that’s transportation of food and things like that. There are just lots of ways that oil and derivatives of oil get into the production and transportation of many, many things,” Powell said.
Fertilizers and foodOn top of the rising diesel costs that are a sizable cost to agriculture operations, farmers are also getting hit by rising fertilizer prices.
Nitrogen fertilizer starts out as natural gas, and through the Haber-Bosch process, the gas is converted into ammonia. The ammonia is then made into urea and other nitrogen products. Nearly half of the global exports of urea and 30% of the global exports of ammonia flow through the Strait of Hormuz.
Middle East countries produced 10 million metric tons of ammonia-based fertilizers in 2023, according to the Energy Policy Research Foundation. All of that is virtually at a standstill, as there aren’t really any alternative routes for the products to take.
Farmers were already facing a tough economic environment, but the double hit to their costs from diesel and fertilizer is going to make it hard for many to turn a profit from their crops this year.
This will ultimately impact food prices down the line.
Plastics and electronicsPlastics are found in everything from packaging to automobiles. The conflict is driving up the cost of feedstocks used to make plastics, including ethane, which is made from natural gas, and naphtha, which is made from crude oil.
Annually, about $20 billion to $25 billion in petrochemical products pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reported. In 2025, over 40% of polyethylene, a polymer used in packaging, came out of the Middle East. That supply ships to regions outside North America, but like oil, these commodities are traded globally.
Helium is produced in trace amounts as a byproduct of natural gas production. It’s vital to the production of semiconductors, flat-screen televisions and monitors, fiber optic cables and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It’s also used in the propulsion of rockets, according to the Energy Research Policy Foundation. Qatar produces 35% of the global supply of helium, behind the U.S., which supplies 44% of the global supply.
The global demand for helium is also being driven up by AI and the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, which is boosting U.S. domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Global helium demand, according to the Energy Research Policy Foundation, is projected to rise 6% annually through 2030.
With Qatar’s helium supplies cut off from the world, prices have doubled and could surge even higher.
There’s really no consumer product that won’t be impacted by the conflict in Iran. How high prices go and what the impact will be on the greater economy will depend on how long the conflict continues, and its eventual outcome.

Iran claims to have attacked Dubai Oracle data center
Apr 2, 2026
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked Oracle’s data center in Dubai on Thursday, according to state media. Dubai’s media office, however, denied this claim later that day.
Also on Thursday, two drones targeted a US diplomatic facility near Baghdad Airport in Iraq, security sources said.
Earlier on Thursday, the IRGC attacked an Amazon cloud computing center in Bahrain, “in retaliation for attacks on Iran,” according to reports by the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA) on Thursday.
The site had been damaged on Wednesday after an Iranian strike, the Financial Times reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said earlier on Wednesday that civil defense teams were extinguishing a fire at a company facility following what authorities described as an Iranian attack.
Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani told the United Nations Security Council on Thursday he hopes for a council vote on Friday on a resolution Bahrain has drafted to protect commercial shipping in and around the Strait of Hormuz. READ MORE

'Gates of hell for you': Iran fires back at Trump’s threat
Iran’s central military command rejects Trump’s 48-hour threat to destroy its infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed, branding the warning “helpless, nervous, unbalanced and stupid".
Israel National News
Apr 5, 2026, 4:00 AM (GMT+3)IranDonald TrumpRoaring LionEpic Fury
1 minutesIran’s central military command on Saturday rejected US President Donald Trump’s threat to destroy Iran’s vital infrastructure if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
Trump had posted a warning to Truth Social, writing, "Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!"
General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi later said in a statement quoted by AFP that Trump’s threat was “a helpless, nervous, unbalanced and stupid action".
He further warned that “the simple meaning of this message is that the gates of hell will open for you".
Since the start of the current conflict, Iran has effectively closed or severely impeded the Strait of Hormuz by declaring it "closed," threatening attacks on commercial vessels, deploying assets like fast boats, drones, missiles, and laying some naval mines.
On Wednesday, Trump claimed that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has asked the US for a ceasefire.
"Iran’s new regime president, much less radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!" the President announced on Truth Social.
Trump set a condition for the ceasefire: "We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!"
Iran denied Trump’s claim, with its Foreign Ministry calling it "false and baseless."

In a separate statement, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps declared that the Strait of Hormuz "is firmly and decisively under the control" of its forces.
"This strait will not be opened to the enemies of this nation through the ridiculous spectacle by the president of the United States," it added.

BREAKING: Major Explosions Reported at Iranian Petrochemical Site
by Raw Egg Nationalist April 4th, 2026 10:58 AM
Massive explosions have been reported at an important petrochemical zone in Iran’s Khuzestan province this morning.
Iranian state media is reporting casualties and significant damage at the Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Zone.
The Times of Israel reports that the strikes were carried out by the Israeli air force.
Israel’s leadership is reported to have instructed the Israeli Defense Forces to begin targeting “economic targets” in Iran, in a bid to case “massive financial damage” to the regime.
Last weekend, President Trump reiterated his threat to attack Iran’s infrastructure, including energy facilities, if the Strait of Hormuz is not “immediately” reopened.
In a post on Truth Social, the President said, “The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran.”
He continued by hailing the “great progress” that has been made, but issued a stern warning that went beyond earlier threats to attack critical infrastructure that had previously been spared.
“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched.’”
President Trump ended his post by saying these actions would be “in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year ‘Reign of Terror.’”

About half of Iran's ballistic missile launchers remain intact - report
According to CNN, US intelligence assessments indicate thousands of UAVs remain in the hands of the Iranian regime, including "missile cities" that remain buried under rubble from attacks
i24NEWS
About half of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers remain intact, along with thousands of UAVs, despite more than a month of joint US and Israeli military operations, according to a CNN report published overnight Friday citing three sources familiar with US intelligence assessments.
One source told the outlet that Iran is “still well prepared to wreak complete havoc throughout the region.” The report noted that some of the remaining launchers may be inaccessible, including those stored in underground “missile cities” that were not struck during the campaign.
According to two of the sources, US intelligence estimates that roughly 50 percent of Iran’s UAV capabilities are still intact. A significant portion of the country’s coastal defense cruise missiles also remains untouched, consistent with the US military’s limited focus on coastal assets during the operation.
The report comes as questions persist over the extent of damage to Iran’s long-range missile capabilities. Intercontinental missile systems, considered a key target of the campaign, have not been fully neutralized. These capabilities were demonstrated recently with a launch toward Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, a distance of approximately 4,000 kilometers. The missiles, believed to be of the Khorramshahr type, are assessed to have the range to reach much of Europe.
The findings highlight the continued threat posed by Iran’s strategic weapons arsenal, even after sustained military strikes. They also underscore the complexity of targeting hardened and dispersed systems, particularly those located underground or outside primary strike zones.
The report follows comments earlier this week by US President Donald Trump, who said he intends to withdraw American forces from Iran “very soon — within two to three weeks.” Trump said the campaign had improved US security, adding that “the citizens of the United States now feel safer.”

Strong 5.1-magnitude earthquake strikes south of San Francisco
By SABRINA PENTY, FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER
Published: 05:02 EDT, 2 April 2026 | Updated: 05:25 EDT, 2 April 2026
A powerful magnitude 5 earthquake rattled San Francisco this morning, shaking residents awake.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake was at a depth of 5.59 miles, and was centred near Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz mountains.
The strong tremor was felt across the Bay Area at around 1.45am, with people receiving alerts on their phones.
There were no immediate reports of damage, although violent shaking was felt across the region, including in San Francisco, Oakland and Petaluma.
The earthquake was originally reported as a 5.1 magnitude but was then revised to 4.9.
No injuries have been reported.
A ShakeAlert was sent to phones warning of the tremor as it hit.
The service, widely used on the West Coast, where earthquakes are common, provides people with an immediate warning before a quake hits.
The USGS warned of a potential aftershock with a 3.0 magnitude.
It comes a month after a series of small earthquakes rattled the San Francisco Bay Area.
The quakes struck on February 2, with the most powerful reaching a magnitude of 4.2, just south of San Ramon.
At least a dozen other smaller quakes struck in the same area starting around 6:30 a.m. and continuing for more than an hour.
The area east of San Francisco has experienced earthquake swarms — when multiple small magnitude earthquakes strike over a short period of time — for decades, according to seismology experts.
Big quakes in the Bay Area are typically due to major faults, including the Hayward and San Andreas, which runs along the Northern California coast before moving inland.
Shaking was felt more than 30 miles away in San Francisco and across the East Bay cities of Oakland and Richmond.
Earthquake swarms have hit the area multiple times in recent months.
The Contra Costa County area recorded 87 quakes at magnitude 2 or above in November and December, according to a San Francisco Chronicle analysis of USGS data last month.
This is a breaking news story, more to follow.

NATO has Collapsed
Hal Turner World April 02, 2026 Hits: 29249
In the last 72 hours, NATO has - factually - collapsed:
France: Blocked US military overflight for weapons to Israel — FIRST TIME since war began Feb 28. Israel cut ALL defense procurement from France.
Italy: Denied Sigonella air base landing to US bombers. Defense Minister said relations are "solid and loyal." DAYS after blocking US planes.
Spain: Closed ENTIRE airspace to US operations. Blocked Naval Station Rota AND Mor
ón Air Base. PM Sánchez called it "not NATO collective defense."Poland: Refused to redeploy Patriot batteries. US burned through 1,200+ interceptors in 16 days. Poland said no.
Switzerland: Denied 2 US reconnaissance flights. Suspended $120,000,000 in weapons exports under "neutrality laws."
UK: PM said "this is not our war." Trump told them to "build up some delayed courage."
Germany: President Steinmeier called war "possibly illegal." WHILE hosting Ramstein — largest US base outside America.
That is: France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, UK, and Germany.
All in ONE week.
When this many allies abandon you at once, it's not a disagreement. It's a collapse.
Hal Turner Analysis
So, the Europeans have made their positions clear, I think it is time for the US to do so as well.
I think we should immediately begin recalling our troops home from Europe; the ones on the Front Line of Russia, first.
Bring home the troops, the tanks, the armored personnel carriers, the self-propelled artillery, the air defense systems and missile supplies, other weapons systems, ALL OF IT. Leave nothing of ours in Europe.
Permanently.
Europe thinks its one of the big boys? Fine. Let them defend themselves. Permanently.
We don't have to "leave NATO" by withdrawing from the Treaty - and thereby give the morons in Congress a say -- we can just remove all our troops and equipment and Congress has no power to say anything at all. It is the President, and the President alone who is commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
Congress may have given itself a role in the U.S. potentially leaving the NATO Treaty, but Congress has no say whatsoever in what type and amounts of troops or weapons the Commander-in-Chief decides to leave in Europe. NO. Congress has no say at all.
Start pulling the troops out today.

Trump didn’t wreck NATO — he just exposed its anti-US hypocrisy
By Victor Davis Hanson
Published April 3, 2026, 5:00 a.m. ETNATO members are not legally required to join another member’s military operation that isn’t formally sanctioned by the alliance or aimed at protecting the membership’s homelands.
But they often do just that.
Some NATO members joined the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq, on the theory that the Taliban and Saddam Hussein were dangers to all Western security in the post-9/11 environment.
They followed the precedent set by America’s 1999 intervention in the distant Balkans, when it led a three-month NATO campaign to dismantle Slobodan Milosevic’s often bloody ambition to establish a Greater Serbia.
The US also joined the 2011 UN-approved, French- and British-inspired “coalition of the willing” bombing campaign in Libya.
That effort proved a seven-month misadventure — especially since the targeted Libyan strongman Moammar Khadafy had given up his nuclear weapons program and was desperately trying to cut a deal with the West.
When NATO members in the past have operated unilaterally to defend their own national interests, they have often called on the United States, as NATO’s strongest member, for overt help.
For nearly 40 years, the US offered logistical, intelligence, reconnaissance, refueling and diplomatic support to the French in their postcolonial efforts to protect Chad from Libya and, later, Islamists.
During the 1982 Falklands War, a solitary Britain faced enormous logistical challenges in steaming halfway around the world to eject Argentina from its windswept and sparse islands.
American aid was critical to the effort: The United States stepped up to help with intelligence, reconnaissance, the supply of some 2 million gallons of much-needed gasoline and crucial restocking of Britain’s depleted Tomahawk missiles.
The assistance prompted anger from most Latin American nations of the shared Western hemisphere, as well as from many Hispanic American citizens at home.
No matter — President Ronald Reagan rightly saw the importance of solidarity with a NATO member and a longtime US ally.
So he gave Britain a veritable blank check for Washington’s aid.
Currently, President Donald Trump has not asked NATO members to help bomb Iran — even though Europe, not the US, was in range of Iran’s ballistic missiles, and soon perhaps nuclear-tipped ones as well.
Europeans are far more vulnerable to Iranian-inspired Islamic terrorism.
They are more reliant on oil from the Middle East, some of it passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
All the US had initially requested was basing support in disarming a common Western enemy that, for nearly half a century, has slaughtered American diplomats and soldiers and tried to kill an American president and secretary of state.
But most NATO members could not even offer tacit help.
Some damned the US effort as either illegal or unnecessary.
The American public watched the British waffle for days over permitting the US to use their Diego Garcia airbase.
The Spanish banned American use of their NATO bases and airspace.
The Italians refused a request from American bombers to land and refuel at a Sicilian NATO base.
Many NATO heads of state rebuked the United States to their domestic audiences while, in typical two-faced fashion, publicly offering empty verbal support for the US campaign.
The NATO response to an Iranian missile aimed at fellow NATO member Turkey was anemic.
Even worse was the pathetic British reaction to another Iranian missile launched at a British base at Akrotiri, Cyprus.
Yet neutering a theocratic Iran is clearly of benefit to Europe.
So is preventing the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz from becoming a tollbooth run by the Iranian regime.
Such passivity stood in sharp contrast to the five-year-long Ukraine War on Europe’ border.
Ukraine is not a NATO member.
Nonetheless, Europeans made urgent requests for the US to honor the spirit of NATO solidarity and help protect Europe’s territorial integrity.
Yet continental Europe is not intrinsically weak.
The combined population of the European Union and European NATO members is around 450 million — more than 100 million greater than that of the United States.
These same European nations enjoy an aggregate annual GDP of more than $22 trillion, 10 times the size of the Russian economy.
European diffidence comes on top of Trump’s perennial effort to harangue NATO members into honoring their commitments to spend 2% of GDP on defense — especially in the case of deadbeat Spain and Canada, which for years have welched on their pledges.
Trump’s rhetoric is not what has undermined NATO.
Instead, he ripped off a happy-face scab and exposed a festering wound of increasingly anti-American hypocrisy beneath.
If you wanted to wreck the alliance, there would be no better way than to follow the duplicitous example of Western Europe’s NATO members.
Victor Davis Hanson is a distinguished fellow of the Center for American Greatness.

Chicago Bulls just fired Jaden Ivey for being Christian
By Isaac Beck, Op-ed contributor Wednesday, April 01, 2026
The Chicago Bulls have a message to their Christian fanbase: your faith is welcome only if you keep it quiet and compliant.
On March 30, the Bulls waived guard Jaden Ivey, citing “conduct detrimental to the team.” They did so not because of the season-ending injury he incurred. Not for poor performance before that. Not even because he refused to play or disrupted team activities. Ivey had already been shut down for the season with a knee injury just four days prior. Instead, Ivey did the unthinkable: He dared to speak openly about his Christian faith on his own personal social media accounts.
Ivey is no marginal talent scraping by in the G-League. He is a former four-star high school prospect who attended Catholic Marian High School in Indiana before transferring to powerhouse La Lumiere.
A high school phenom, he chose Purdue over offers from Notre Dame and small school powerhouse Butler University. He was selected fifth overall in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons. He’s even a gold medalist, having won the medal with Team USA in the 2021 FIBA Under-19 World Cup. In the NBA, he has consistently averaged nearly 15 points per game while ranking among the league leaders in scoring efficiency, playmaking and ball-handling for his position. This is a young man who can compete with the best of them and do so at the highest level.
More importantly, he knows where he stands with his faith. Ivey has been transparent about his journey, including overcoming struggles with addiction before placing his trust fully in Jesus Christ. On his personal Instagram pages, JEDI (Jaden Edward Dhananjay Ivey) went live reading Scripture, preaching salvation through Christ alone, and addressing the culture around him. He stated plainly what the Bible teaches: that God designed marriage and sexuality for one man and one woman, and that celebrating what Scripture calls unrighteousness is incompatible with following Jesus. He did not make these statements on the court, in the locker room, or during any team-mandated event. He spoke as a private citizen on his own time and platform.
In turn, the Bulls responded within hours by waiving/firing the basketball star. They claim it’s for “conduct detrimental to the team.” Make no mistake, this is a direct affront to Christians who hold to traditional biblical theology. In today’s NBA, vague post-game thanks to “God” or a cross tattoo might be tolerated. Have the courage to articulate what the Bible actually says about human sexuality, sin and repentance? That crosses the line into “conduct detrimental.”
This should alarm every believer, basketball fan or not. For years now, the NBA has aggressively pushed a series of woke agendas, turning its courts, jerseys and platforms into vehicles for far-left progressive orthodoxy. During the 2020 season restart, the league painted “Black Lives Matter” on both sides of every court, allowed players to replace their names on jerseys with social justice slogans, and encouraged kneeling during the national anthem. All of which was coordinated in league-wide solidarity. Teams wore Black Lives Matter T-shirts, and the entire enterprise was celebrated as courageous activism.
Year after year, the NBA has gone even further with LGBT pride month. The league marches in New York City pride parades, adorns arenas with rainbow logos, hosts Pride Nights, and promotes institutional affirmation of LGBT lifestyles. These initiatives are not private opinions. They are top-to-bottom corporate campaigns designed to weave ever so blatantly into the very fabric of the game.
Yet when a young player like Jaden Ivey uses his own personal social platform to confess biblical truth and dissent from league orthodoxy, the response was immediate termination. The double standard could not be clearer. The NBA welcomes, amplifies and institutionalizes certain ideological messages while treating traditional Christian convictions as toxic and potentially career-ending. One can give God a blanket thanksgiving at a post-game press conference, but if you reference personal transformation or a reality check on sin, pack your bags.
Even more telling was head coach Billy Donovan’s response. Rather than addressing Ivey’s actual statements, Donovan expressed concern that the young man might be struggling mentally. He stated, “Mental health is a real issue ... I’m not passing judgment on what Jaden is or is not going through, but I do know that I always worry about that, not only for Jaden but for all of our players.”
In other words, publicly confessing biblical truth on social media is now being framed as a potential sign of mental instability. When a Christian athlete shares from his faith, the league’s response is not honest disagreement but an insinuation that something must be wrong with his mind.
The Chicago Bulls, and potentially the NBA, have made their priorities plain. They will bend over backward to accommodate and promote leftist social agendas, but biblical Christianity must be silenced. Christians who take Scripture seriously on matters of sexuality, marriage and repentance are increasingly told their faith belongs in the closet.
Jaden Ivey chose faithfulness over compliance. Believers should pray for him as he enters free agency and recognize this situation for what it is: a flagrant foul on the court of American culture. When professional sports organizations punish athletes for off-court fidelity to Christ, the message to millions of Christian fans should be unmistakable: you aren’t welcome.

Chemical weapons development center targeted at Iranian university
The IRGC’s Imam Hossein University in Tehran was also used to develop ballistic missiles, says IDF spokesperson.
Yaakov Lappin Apr 1, 2026 at 10:15 am
(JNS) Following intensive Israeli Air Force strikes in recent days targeting weapons-critical research and development facilities embedded deep within the Islamic Republic, military sources on Monday highlighted the Iranian regime’s systematic use of academic and civilian infrastructure to shield its military and weapons production programs—including a chemical weapons research site.
IDF International Spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani detailed the massive scope of recent aerial operations across Iran, confirming that the military successfully targeted highly sensitive components of the Iranian war machine, particularly its weapons research, development and production sites.
“Recently, we struck terrorist infrastructure within the IRGC’s main military university, Imam Hossein University, located in the heart of Tehran,” Shoshani revealed. The Israeli military confirmed that the regime utilizes this location as a primary development center. “Under a civilian suburb, this institution serves as a research hub for advanced weaponry, and an emergency asset for the regime’s military bodies sanctioned by several countries,” he explained.
Shoshani provided details of the targets hidden within the university, naming them as “wind tunnels used by the regime for testing and developing ballistic missiles, a chemistry center used for research and development of chemical weapons, a technology and engineering center, [and] a central complex used for the development of ballistic missiles and additional weapons systems.”
The military emphasized the direct integration of this academic institution into the highest echelons of the Iranian terror apparatus. “This so called university is commanded by Muhammad Reza Ahangar, a senior IRGC officer holding the rank equivalent to a brigadier general,” Shoshani stated.
The strike on Imam Hossein University is part of a broader campaign to degrade the regime’s war machine. “Over the past 24 hours, we struck 170 targets belonging to the Iranian terrorist regime,” Shoshani reported. The targeting focused heavily on the regime’s production pipelines. The strikes hit “a central site used to produce key components for a variety of weapons in Iran,” he added. The operation also neutralized “sites used for production of UAV engines, [and] an industrial complex where components for weapons were developed and a research and development site,” Shoshani noted. “We continue our operations over Iranian skies against the Iranian terror regime to degrade their military capabilities and reduce their ability to pose a threat towards Israel.”
Shoshani noted that IDF Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir recently hosted US CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper. “During his visit, the commanders discussed the importance of the cooperation between the military and the operations against the Iran,” Shoshani stated. “This coordination between IDF and our American counterparts remain unprecedentedly close and aligned,” he noted.
Despite the intense military pressure, he added, “We see continuous fire from Iran towards Israel, including the use of cluster bombs. This a regime that has intended and attempted to kill thousands of Israeli civilians.”
Simultaneously, the IDF is engaged in intense combat against Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon. The military announced the deaths of four IDF soldiers from the Nahal Brigade’s reconnaissance battalion during operational activity in the region.
“We have seen attacks on the ground against our troops, and we’ve seen nonstop fire towards Israel,” Shoshani stated. “We’ve seen thousands of UAVs, missiles, and rockets by Hezbollah from Lebanon towards Israel,” he noted, estimating the total number of projectiles to be between 4,000 and 5,000.
The IDF’s ground operations aim to physically dismantle the terror infrastructure threatening northern Israel and strengthen the IDF’s forward defense posture, pushing the threat away from northern Israeli communities. Shoshani reported the neutralization of 180 Hezbollah missile launchers, and some 850 Hezbollah terrorists, including 230 from the organization’s Radwan Force. The IDF has also dismantled hundreds of Hezbollah command centers.
“Yesterday, we eliminated in Beirut senior commanders of the unit responsible for coordinating between Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorist organizations across the Middle East,” Shoshani stated. The strikes targeted senior members of Hezbollah’s Unit 1800, which managed the transfer of operatives to combat IDF troops in southern Lebanon and oversaw coordination with Palestinian terror organizations in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Judea, and Samaria.
“Hezbollah… are systematically using civilian cover and infrastructure to conceal their military activity,” Shoshani stated. The terror group utilizes schools, churches, and civilian villages to shield its operations. “This is not incidental, this is their strategy,” he stressed.

Trump plots dramatic Greenland military push with special forces and Navy set to DEPLOY... as buried pact opens the door
By JON MICHAEL RAASCH, US POLITICAL REPORTER
Published: 15:48 EDT, 1 April 2026 | Updated: 04:15 EDT, 2 April 2026
US military planners are pushing ahead to secure additional access to Greenland, the latest sign of Donald Trump's sustained strategic interest in the Danish island.
The Pentagon and State Department are negotiating with Denmark for a 'permanent presence' at three additional bases in Greenland, General Gregory Guillot told Congress in mid-March.
Guillot heads US Northern Command, which is responsible for defending the US homeland, Canada and Mexico.
Trump has warned that 'Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China,' and that Moscow and Beijing's vessels regularly transit off the coast of Greenland, as Arctic warming has opened up new routes that were frozen over.
Guillot confirmed at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that negotiations with Denmark are moving ahead, with the US seeking 'increased access to different bases across Greenland.'
The US is negotiating access to three Greenland bases, two of them long-abandoned by American forces. Only one outpost is currently active: Pituffik Space Base, a remote missile defense installation staffed by a few hundred troops.
The structure of the agreement is still being worked on, a White House official told the Daily Mail. 'We are very optimistic that we're on a good trajectory,' the official added.
Guillot told the Senate he wants broader access to bring special forces and Navy assets permanently to the island as its geopolitical significance grows.
'What we have now is access to a particular air base [Pituffik] in the northern part of Greenland which gives us some of the fighter and tanker capability and a lot of space capability, but we don't have a permanent presence for [special operations forces] and then we don't have a permanent presence for some of the maritime capabilities that I need.'
'I'm working with our department and others to try to develop more ports, more airfields, which leads to more options for our secretary and for the president, should we need them up in the Arctic,' Guillot added.
Trump has repeatedly insisted he wants to wrest control of Greenland from Denmark, a wrinkle that may yet complicate the negotiations.
The President has insisted US control of Greenland is a national security imperative, and has threatened to use military force to take it before pulling back.
A 1951 Danish-American defense agreement is central to the negotiations as it gives sweeping access to the US military in Greenland.
'We don't really need a new treaty. It's very comprehensive, and it's frankly very favorable to our operations or potential operations in Greenland,' Guillot told lawmakers.
The US is seeking access to Narsarsuaq, a southern Greenland town with a deep-water port, and Kangerlussuaq in the southwest, which has a runway capable of handling large US aircraft, Northern Command spokeswoman Lieutenant Commander Teresa Meadows said.
The third location the US is vying for has not been publicly disclosed.
Both Narsarsuaq and Kangerlussuaq were American bases used during WWII and the Cold War before US forces abandoned them and returned them to local authorities.

Marco Rubio pledges to ‘reexamine’ NATO membership after US denied access to European military bases for Iran war: ‘One way street’
By Victor Nava
Published March 31, 2026, 10:50 p.m. ET
Secretary of State Marco Rubio questioned the value of NATO Tuesday night after European allies blocked the US military from using their bases and airspace to launch attacks on Iran.
Rubio, who recalled that as a senator he was “one of the strongest defenders” of NATO, told Fox News host Sean Hannity that membership in the transatlantic alliance would be “reexamined” after the Iran war.
“If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means we can’t use those bases to defend America’s interests, then NATO is a one way street,” the top US diplomat lamented.
“If NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe, but when we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no – then why are we in NATO?”
Rubio said the decision over whether the US remains in NATO will ultimately be made by President Trump, a longtime critic of the alliance.
“So I think there’s no doubt, unfortunately, after this conflict is concluded, we are going to have to reexamine that relationship,” Rubio said.
During a cabinet meeting last week, Trump described the war against Tehran as a loyalty “test” and ripped Europeans for failing to step up.
“They weren’t there,” he said of the NATO allies. “So if there’s ever a big one … I don’t think they’re going to be there.”
Trump has also blasted European countries for failing to help the US reopen the Strait of Hormuz amid Iranian attacks on shipping vessels in the critical waterway.
The president has signaled that the responsibility for ensuring the safe passage of ships in the Strait of Hormuz may soon fall solely on Europe.
“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!”
Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General, giving a press conference.
Meanwhile, ahead of Trump’s planned Wednesday primetime address on the Iran war, Rubio signaled that the US can “see the finish line.”
“We were going to destroy their air force. We have largely done that. We were going to destroy their navy, which we have largely achieved. We were going to destroy a significant percentage of their missile launchers. We are well on our way to achieving that. And we were going to wipe out their defense industrial base, meaning the factories that make the drones and the missiles. We are on our way to doing that,” Rubio said outlining the four military objectives in the war.
“We are on or ahead of schedule on each of those four objectives and we can see the finish line. It’s not today, it’s not tomorrow, but it is coming.”

Disgraced Texas megachurch pastor free after 6 months in jail for sexually abusing 12-year-old girl: ‘I am deeply sorry’
By Jared Downing Published March 31, 2026, 9:59 p.m. ET
The disgraced pastor of a Texas megachurch who served a six-month stint for sexually abusing a child in the 1980s was released from jail Tuesday.
Robert Preston Morris, 64, was set free just after midnight from the Oklahoma prison where he was sentenced to in October, according to Osage County Sheriff’s Capt. Matt Clark.
Morris must register as a sex offender and will be supervised by Texas authorities. He also was ordered to pay his costs of incarceration, including any medical expenses, and restitution to the victim, Cindy Clemishire.
Clemishire did not immediately respond Tuesday to The Post’s request for comment, but said in a statement when Morris was sentenced that “justice has finally been served, and the man who manipulated, groomed and abused me as a 12-year-old innocent girl is finally going to be behind bars.”
Jeff Leach, a Dallas-based attorney who represents Clemishire, now in her 50s, said in a statement they are “heartened to know that he (Morris) still has nearly ten years of probation as well as a lifetime ahead of being publicly registered as a sex offender.”
Morris was indicted last year by an Oklahoma grand jury. He later pleaded guilty to five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child for a four-year pattern of sick abuse against a Clemishire, of Kansas, when she was just 12 years old.
Morris received a 10-year suspended sentence with the first six months to be served in the Osage County Jail.
The horrific acts of abuse began in 1982, when Morris was a traveling evangelist staying in Hominy, Oklahoma with Clemishire’s family, according to Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond, whose office prosecuted the case.
In the intervening years, Morris rose in fame and fortune — founding the Gateway Church in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Southlake in 2000, which became one of the nation’s largest megachurches.
But the creep resigned as its senior pastor in June 2024, when the accusations of abuse were made public.
In a statement released Tuesday by one of Morris’ attorneys, Bill Mateja, he apologized to Clemishire and her family and praised them for coming forward.
“What I did to Cindy decades ago was wrong. There is no other word for it, and there is no excuse for it. I am deeply sorry,” Morris said.
“Many years ago, I sought their forgiveness privately, and as Cindy’s father recently noted, he extended that grace to me — a grace I did not deserve and have never taken for granted.”
Clemishire, meanwhile, plans to continue to seek justice through civil courts, Leach said.
“She rightfully seeks full accountability not only for Robert and the crimes he committed against her as a young child, but also for the other individuals who harbored him, covered for him, lied for him and even in some cases attacked Cindy on his behalf,” he said.
Morris has been politically active and formerly served on President Trump’s evangelical advisory board.

UAE considers military role to reopen Strait of Hormuz by force - report
Emirati officials push for a UN resolution and coalition action as Iranian attacks on its territory escalate and global shipping is at risk
i24NEWS
The United Arab Emirates is preparing to support potential military action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to Arab officials cited in a WSJ report, marking a significant shift that could make it the first Gulf state to take a direct combat role following Iranian attacks. The move comes as concerns grow over global energy supplies and maritime security in one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes.
Officials said the UAE is lobbying for a United Nations Security Council resolution that would authorize the use of force to secure the strait. Emirati diplomats have also urged the United States and allied powers in Europe and Asia to form a coalition to reopen the waterway. An Emirati official said Tehran “thinks it is fighting for its existence and is willing to bring the global economy down with it in a chokehold on the strait.”
The UAE is reviewing options for a direct military role, including mine-clearing operations and other forms of logistical and operational support. Arab officials added that the Gulf state has proposed that the US take control of strategic islands in the waterway, including Abu Musa, which is controlled by Iran but claimed by the UAE.
In a statement, the Emirati Foreign Ministry pointed to a separate UN resolution condemning Iranian attacks on its cities, as well as a decision by the International Maritime Organization criticizing the closure of the strait. The ministry said there is “broad global consensus that freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz must be preserved.”
Iran has intensified its military response in recent days, sharply increasing missile and drone attacks on the UAE after weeks of lower-level strikes. According to Arab officials, nearly 50 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones were launched at the Emirates on Tuesday alone. Tehran has warned it would target critical civilian infrastructure in any Gulf state supporting efforts against it, specifically naming the UAE. Officials added that Iran has launched nearly 2,500 missiles and drones at the UAE since the start of the conflict, more than at any other country, including Israel.
Regional dynamics are also shifting. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are increasingly aligning against Iran, with officials indicating support for continued military pressure, though most have not committed forces. Bahrain is sponsoring the proposed UN resolution, with a vote expected Thursday.
The UAE’s position represents a departure from its previous approach, which emphasized economic ties and diplomatic engagement with Iran. Gulf officials said that prior to the outbreak of war on February 28, the UAE viewed Iran as a difficult but rational actor. However, they said recent attacks, including strikes targeting hotels and airports in Dubai, have altered that assessment. Despite long avoiding a formal combat role, the UAE is now reconsidering its posture as it weighs participation in efforts to secure the strait and counter Iranian actions.

Why Are So Many Meteors Suddenly Streaking Across America’s Skies?
March 31, 2026
Should we be concerned about the large fireballs that have been flying through our skies in recent weeks? I have been writing so much about the war in the Middle East that I haven’t given this fireball swarm the attention that it deserves. Over and over again, people have been capturing footage of meteors streaking across our atmosphere. NASA is insisting that we have absolutely nothing to be alarmed about, but other experts are not so sure.
Whenever we see unusual events in the heavens, people are going to start asking questions. According to the Daily Mail, the unprecedented fireball swarm that we witnessed during the month of March has been “sparking concerns about a potentially city-killing asteroid striking the planet and questions about these objects being UFOs”…
Earth has seen a mysterious surge in massive fireballs lighting up the sky, sparking concerns about a potentially city-killing asteroid striking the planet and questions about these objects being UFOs.
The American Meteor Society (AMS), a nonprofit group that has been tracking meteor sightings for over a century, revealed that there have been more reports of fireballs in the first three months of 2026 than in the first quarter of any year dating back to 2011.
Nobody denies that people are reporting meteors more frequently than we have ever seen before.
And on Saturday night there was another major incident in the skies above Washington, Oregon and British Columbia…
Over 100 people in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia have reported seeing a “bright fireball” on Saturday night, according to NASA and the American Meteor Society.
The sighting makes it the third sighting in Washington in March.
According to NASA, analysis of these reports and videos suggest the fireball became visible around 50 miles above the town of Wilkeson before disintegrating 30 miles above Wauna in Pierce County around 8:34 p.m.
One large fireball would not be a big deal at all.
But there have been so many over the past month.
For example, hundreds of people witnessed a green fireball flying over California on March 22nd, and on March 23rd a different green fireball was spotted flying over southern Oregon…
On March 22, hundreds of people saw a green meteor flash across the night sky above central California around 8:19 p.m., according to NASA. Early the next morning, around 6:07 a.m., residents in the Pacific Northwest witnessed another one flying above southern Oregon, per the agency.
“It was bright, it was green, it was spectacular,” says Jim Todd, director of space science education at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, to the Associated Press’ Claire Rush, describing the second event. “One tiny little piece of rock put on such a show.”
Scientists believe that these particular fireballs were green because they contained either magnesium or nickel…
The meteors above California and Oregon were likely green because of certain elements within them, reports the AP. When heated, magnesium produces blue-green light, and nickel can also emit green. Eyewitnesses of the California fireball noted that it changed colors—looking blue, green, red and orange—as it moved through the sky, per the San Luis Obispo Tribune’s Kaytlyn Leslie.
The day before the green fireball above California was spotted, a fragment of a meteor slammed into a home in Houston, Texas, and a few days before that a 7 ton space rock that flew over Ohio and Pennsylvania created a tremendous amount of buzz…
On March 17, a daytime event over Ohio and Pennsylvania involved an object estimated at about 2 m (6.5 feet) in diameter and about 7 tons in mass, with an energy release of roughly 250 tons of TNT. Meteorites recovered from that event were identified as eucrites.
On March 21, a meteoroid of about 1 ton broke apart over the Houston metropolitan area, producing an airburst of about 26 tons of TNT, sonic booms, and at least one meteorite fragment that penetrated the roof of a home in Ponderosa Forest.
I can’t remember a time when meteors have made so much news.
According to Mike Hankey of the American Meteor Society, we really did witness an “unprecedented concentration of major fireballs” during the month of March…
There were about 2,046 individual reported meteor events; 38 events that involved 50 or more reports and 14 events that involved 100 or more reports, according to the AMS.
Most of the elevated activity so far in 2026 took place in March 2026, according to Hankey. In his report, he referred to the month’s sightings as an “unprecedented concentration of major fireballs.”
“It’s been really very flat and consistent for over five years,” Hankey said. “Then all of a sudden, we get this rush of reports this month, in March — didn’t start in February or really January, even.”
If January and February were so normal, what caused the sudden spike in March?
The AMS is admitting that this “warrants serious investigation”, and it is also telling us that the meteors appear to be coming from “the direction opposite the Sun”…
The American Meteor Society (AMS) reports an apparent surge in large fireball events in the first quarter of 2026, saying an analysis of its records back to 2011 reveals a pattern that “warrants serious investigation.”
“The enhanced activity is coming from a specific part of the sky—the direction opposite the Sun—at roughly double the normal density,” Mike Hankey, who wrote the analysis, told Newsweek.
But despite everything that has been happening, NASA says that we don’t have anything to worry about.
NASA is telling us that the only reason we are seeing more meteors right now is because we are in peak fireball season…
While it may seem like meteor reports and sightings have been more frequent recently, it is not out of the ordinary. In the northern hemisphere, we’re in peak “fireball season.” From February through April, the appearance rate of these very bright meteors can increase by as much as 10% to 30%, especially around the weeks of the March equinox. Exactly why is not known. Some astronomers think the Earth passes through more large debris at this time of year, causing an uptick in fireball sightings.
Another likely reason it may feel like meteor sightings are increasing is that more of us have cameras at the ready — from smartphones to doorbell cameras to dashboard cameras — making it easier than ever to capture and share these fleeting cosmic events when they happen.
Hopefully NASA is right.
Of course NASA doesn’t exactly have a stellar track record of being honest with us.
I tend to agree with the American Meteor Society.
We really should be getting to the bottom of this.
Geophysicist Stefan Burns is actually suggesting that there is “a serious risk of a large impact event occurring”…
Hopefully there will not be a “large impact event” any time soon.
But it is just a matter of time before a giant space rock with our name on it comes heading our way.
In my latest book I discussed the fact that the entire Alpha Centauri system is racing toward our solar system at a speed of approximately 79,000 miles an hour.
As the Alpha Centauri system gets closer, it is inevitable that we will begin to encounter more interstellar objects.
Oumuamua and 3I/ATLAS were just the beginning. Huge interstellar objects will enter our solar system more frequently over time, and one of these days one of them might just hit us.

Russia Sends 6 Submarines to Strait of Hormuz; Chechen Troops Assembled to Aid Iran if Invaded, as China Reportedly Preps 100,000 troops
Hal Turner World April 01, 2026 Hits: 15995
There is now confirmed presence of a Russian nuclear submarine near the Strait of Hormuz. There is also a Confirmed Announcement by Chechen Forces they will enter Iran to fight US if Invasion takes place. REPORT (unconfirmed) China to move 100,000 troops into Iran if US invades.
Moscow has officially deployed six submarines, including two nuclear ones, near the Strait of Hormuz for a discreet mission to protect Iranian infrastructure, according to reports. Their primary role is to prevent the United States and Israel from freely entering the strait or approaching the Iranian coast.
This deployment sends a strong political message to the West, signaling that any major escalation against Iran could directly involve Russia. The presence of two nuclear-armed subs also __seems__ to indicate that if Iran is hit with Nuclear weapons, another nearby country that attacks, will also be nuked.
Yesterday, Chechen Troops were publicly assembled and at that assembly it was announced they would go to Iran to fight the United States and Israel if Iran is invaded.
Late last night, I received a single report from a single source, which I am as yet UNABLE TO CONFIRM, saying China is prepping 100,000 troops from its People's Liberation Army, to enter Iran and defend it if the US invades.
President Trump is scheduled to address the nation about the Iran situation, tonight at 9:00 PM eastern time.
