 My son has narrated the last book I wrote. Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click on Book Cover) World & Nation Trump delays strikes on Iran power, energy plants for five days, citing ‘very good and productive conversations’  President Trump announced Monday that the US will not attack any part of Iran’s power and energy infrastructure for five days after Washington and Tehran engaged in “very good and productive talks” over the weekend about ending the three-week-old war. “I am please [sic] to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East,” Trump wrote, without elaborating. “Based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, witch [sic] will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.” Trump says ‘we don’t know’ if Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive: ‘Nobody knows what happened to him’

Trump says US wants Iran’s ‘nuclear dust’ as part of any peace deal with Tehran US issues worldwide security alert urging caution as Iran-linked groups may target American interests  The US Department of State issued a worldwide security alert Sunday, urging Americans across the globe to be wary of threats from Iran-linked groups. “The Department of State advises Americans worldwide, and especially in the Middle East, to exercise increased caution. Americans abroad should follow the guidance in security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate,” the State Department said in a statement. “Periodic airspace closures may cause travel disruptions. U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted,” the warning continued. “Groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world.” Air Canada flight attendant on LaGuardia plane was strapped to jumpseat and ejected during deadly crash  An Air Canada flight attendant was violently thrown from the plane when it crashed into a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport Sunday night — and was still strapped into her jumpseat when she was found, sources said. The attendant miraculously survived the horrific smash-up when she was ejected from Flight 8646, which originated in Montreal. The plane collided with the truck on Runway 4 around 11:40 p.m., striking the middle of the vehicle and sending the Port Authority officers inside flying from their seats, sources said. A flight attendant on the plane, still attached to their jump seat, was ejected from the aircraft after the crash.

Jose Medina-Medina, 25, allegedly murdered 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman early Thursday morning while she walked along the Chicago lakefront with her friends, according to a DHS release obtained by Fox News. The illegal alien was caught and released at the border under President Joe Biden’s administration in May 2023, according to the DHS. Medina-Medina was also previously released from local custody in Chicago— a sanctuary city — just a month later after he was arrested for shoplifting from Macy’s. Russia’s largest oil port crippled in huge Ukrainian drone attack  Russia’s largest oil port was crippled in a massive air attack by Ukrainian drones, officials said early Monday as images showed huge balls of fire. Several strikes blew up huge swathes of the Baltic Sea port of Primorsk — which processes at least a million barrels of oil per day in a market already crippled with rising prices over the Iran war. Drones struck fuel storage tanks at the port — home to Russia’s clandestine network of so-called “shadow ships” — with satellite pictures showing smoke rising from several areas of the key terminal. Supreme Court reverses lower court on qualified immunity for Vermont police sergeant who arrested protester Supreme Court majority rejects excessive use of force argument in protester sit-in case  The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that a Vermont state police sergeant is entitled to qualified immunity in a lawsuit brought by a protester who said she was injured when an officer used a wristlock to remove her from a sit-in at the state capitol. In an unsigned per curiam opinion, the court reversed the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Zorn v. Linton, holding that existing precedent did not clearly establish that Sgt. Jacob Zorn’s specific conduct violated the Constitution. "The Second Circuit held that Zorn was not entitled to qualified immunity," read the majority ruling – with the three liberal justices dissenting – rejecting excess use of force arguments. "We reverse." The justices said officers are generally shielded from civil liability unless prior case law put the unlawfulness of their actions "beyond debate." Your 2A rights are on the chopping block as Virginia Dems plot insane gun bans Gun Owners of America says the bills unconstitutionally target the most commonly owned firearms in America  The Commonwealth of Virginia, once the cradle of American liberty and the home of the Bill of Rights, is witnessing a historic betrayal in real time. On March 14, the Virginia General Assembly wrapped up their 2026 legislative session and rammed through over 15 pieces of anti-gun legislation. In just 60 days, the anti-gun left has nearly undone gun rights for millions of law-abiding Virginia residents. Their crown jewel of tyranny? SB 749 and HB 217, two so-called "assault weapons" ban bills. These identical bills landed at the desk of newly elected Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger during the final days of the legislative session and are currently awaiting her signature. Homan fires back at CNN host over 'how well-thought-out' ICE airport deployment plan is President Donald Trump announced plans to deploy ICE officers to help TSA agents with airport lines  White House border czar Tom Homan pushed back against CNN's Dana Bash Sunday morning after she asked Homan how "well-thought-out" a new plan to send immigration officers to help TSA agents could be. Homan took questions on "State of the Union" regarding President Donald Trump's plan to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to assist TSA agents in airports across the country with hourslong lines caused by staffing shortages during the ongoing partial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown. Homan confirmed he was working with the directors of ICE and the TSA to construct "a well-thought-out plan to execute" for ICE officers by the afternoon.
Foiling Dems’ airport insanity with ICE — Trump is 100% right By Post Editorial Board
They wanted ICE out. Now they’ll have to pass through ICE on the way out of town. President Trump is 100% right to use Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to supplement Transportation Security Administration agents at airports. Trump announced the move after Democrats last week again refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security — and as TSA lines at major airports began snaking all the way into baggage claim and out the door. In California, LAX and SFO have avoided the worst delays because they use private contractors. But travelers in San Diego were hit with unexpected, hours-long delays as the shutdown collided with spring break travel. The Democrats hope to use the suffering of American travelers to force Republicans to cave to their demands to kneecap ICE enforcement. But the president played a … trump card. Trump is serious about the China threat and is rebuilding our arsenal Pentagon contracts aim to surge missile production, with output of key systems set to increase more than tenfold. By Chad Wolf
For decades, Washington has talked about the threat the Chinese Communist Party poses to the American people. Analysts and politicians have written countless white papers, held congressional hearings and delivered speeches warning that Beijing's military modernization, economic coercion and technological ambitions pose an existential challenge to America’s military primacy. Yet for all that talk, policymakers have failed to do the one thing that matters most: rebuild our industrial capacity to produce the weapons systems necessary to deter — and if necessary, defeat — Chinese aggression. That's finally changing. Under President Donald Trump's leadership, the Department of War is executing the kind of reform that Republicans have promised for a generation but never delivered. Secretary Pete Hegseth and Deputy Secretary Steve Feinberg aren't just reorganizing Pentagon charts — they're forging a genuine partnership between government and industry to rebuild munitions production at a scale approaching Cold War levels, with output of key systems like Tomahawk cruise missiles increasing more than tenfold under new long-term Pentagon contracts. |
