Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said Tangsiri had been killed in a “precise and lethal operation” along with other senior naval commanders in an overnight strike.

“The man who was directly responsible for the terrorist operation of mining and blocking the Strait of Hormuz to shipping was blown up and eliminated,” Katz claimed.

A New Mexico jury has ordered Mark Zuckerberg’s company Meta to pay $375 million in civil damages after finding the tech giant violated state law by failing to protect children from predators on its platforms.

Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilev confirmed Wednesday that Russia is sending “humanitarian” shipments of oil to Cuba after ship-tracking data earlier appeared to show that at least one tanker had unloaded Russian crude in Havana.

Cuba, which imports around 60% of its energy supply, previously relied on oil sold by Venezuela. Those shipments ended after then-President Nicolás Maduro was captured in a U.S. military raid.

Illinois Governor JB Prtizker — who has long been seen as a potential presidential contender in 2028 — recently laid out his plans to launch politically-motivated prosecutions targeting Trump officials, a strategy he referred to as “Project 2029.”

While speaking with the New York Times, Pritzker framed the plan as a “forward-looking framework” for Democrats aiming to regain national power after the 2028 election. Pritzker, who has served as governor since 2019 and has frequently clashed with the Trump administration on issues including immigration enforcement, described the project as a necessary response to political lessons from recent years.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is doubling down on earlier promises to arrest and prosecute Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, this time threatening agents deployed to his city’s airport.

The George Soros-backed prosecutor made his threats during a Tuesday press conference, directing his remarks to federal ICE agents who helping to patrol Philadelphia’s International Airport.

Since a joint U.S.-Israeli airstrike killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, scores of Iranian senior officials have also been killed. According to the Associated Press, two anonymous sources—an intelligence official and a person briefed on the operation—said that hacked Iranian surveillance cameras helped plan the initial attack.

Camera hacking has become a recurring feature of modern warfare. Hamas hacked Israeli cameras before the October 7, 2023, attack; Russia has hacked them in Ukraine, and Iran has hacked them in Israel. But the cameras in question are not exotic spy technology. They’re often unremarkable, much like millions of other devices around the world.

Nothing to see here. Just another BLM activist caught funneling charity funds for their personal gain. But what else is new?

Monica Cannon-Grant must pay back $224,000 after she “embezzled [the funds] for shopping sprees and vacations.”

According to the New York Post:

A scamming Black Lives Matter activist once named the Bostonian of the Year has been ordered to pay back back $224,000 she embezzled for shopping sprees and vacations.

Monica Cannon-Grant was ordered to make the massive payout this week after already being sentenced in January to four years of probation, six months of house arrest and 100 hours of community service for her widespread wire and tax fraud, WBUR reported.

KATHMANDU, Nepal — Nepal’s newly elected members of parliament were sworn in Thursday with nearly two-thirds of them from a political party that is less than four years old.

The 275 members of the House of Representatives, the powerful lower chamber of parliament, will be in their positions for the next five years.

The election — the country’s first since last year’s youth-led revolt — was won by the Rastriya Swatantra Party, or RSP, led by rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah.

English actor and screenwriter John Cleese is coming out in defense of Britain’s Christian heritage.

The famous “Monty Python” writer posted to X this month that Great Britain has been impacted by “Christian values” at the “deepest level” and warned against Muslim influence in the U.K.

“Despite the many mistakes made by churches,” Cleese wrote, “for centuries, British people have been influenced by Christ’s teaching. If these values are replaced by Islamic ones, this will not be Britain any more.”

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has seized more than 650,000 ballots from California’s November 2025 special election and announced his office will conduct an independent count.

The move is setting up a direct confrontation with Democrat state officials demanding he stand down.

The investigation focuses on Proposition 50, a ballot measure tied to congressional district reform, after local investigators flagged what they describe as tens of thousands of excess votes.

A Midwest affiliate of the nation’s No. 1 killer of unborn children will pay $500,000 to settle a federal investigation into its alleged discriminatory practices, including promoting racial segregation.

Planned Parenthood of Illinois violated federal civil rights laws when it conducted training sessions in which the organization “segregated employees by race [and] subjected white employees to harassment,” according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The abortion provider also engaged in “disparate treatment against white employees regarding terms, conditions, and privileges of employment,” the EEOC discovered in its class investigation into “charges brought by multiple Planned Parenthood employees.”

Perhaps it comes as little surprise that the affiliate of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, founded by a woman who embraced the racist and discredited theories of eugenics, would be investigated on racial discrimination charges.

President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just gave the National Guard some great news.

At an event in Memphis, President Trump said that Hegseth has signed a directive granting full active-duty pay and benefits to National Guard members deployed to U.S. cities as part of a federal crackdown on crime.

The American Center for Law and Justice, which repeatedly has assembled for court cases the facts about America’s abortion industry and the millions of dollars it has been demanding from taxpayers to fund its unborn infant-killing operations, has confirmed that a major battle in that war has been won.

But not by the abortion behemoths who went to court insisting they had a constitutional right to tax money.

The ACLJ said the 1st Circuit court has granted a stay that allows Section 71113 to take effect even in the states that sued.

The New Hampshire Senate has defeated a bill that would have codified abortion as a fundamental right and provided legal shields for abortionists who kill babies, including protections against out-of-state legal actions.

In a 16-8 vote along party lines on March 5, senators rejected SB 551, the Shield Law for Reproductive Health Care Access.

Sponsored by Sen. Debra Altschiller, D-Stratham, and co-sponsored by all Senate Democrats, the legislation sought to declare a right to kill babies in abortions and shield New Hampshire abortionists from external interference.

You have to be an absolute monster to be sent to Rikers Island. Mamdani’s constituency. But he won’t meet with the families of the people these violent criminals have killed or the the women they’ve raped or the NYPD injured in the line of duty. Just the criminals.

This is another fitting example of why many are fleeing New York City. The dynamic is nicely captured in the opening of a piece at Tablet magazine: “My breaking point wasn’t getting mugged,” Josh Greenberg, a digital media strategist who left Park Slope, New York, in early 2022, told me. “It was realizing the city had more sympathy for the guy that mugged me than they did for me.”

Editors note: The reason why I place “fast” in quotes is because you can eat like a horse in the morning and you can eat like a horse in the evening. I do not consider that a “fast.”

Iran’s regime is publicly rejecting a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal, escalating tensions even as President Donald Trump signals a willingness to negotiate an end to the conflict.

State-run outlets in Tehran reported Wednesday that Iran “will not accept a ceasefire offer from the United States.”

The rejection underscores the regime’s refusal to de-escalate despite mounting international pressure.

The biggest argument against democracy is five minutes with the average voter. The Democratic Party might be making that argument stronger. I’ve never seen a party push to eliminate elections and voting the way Democrats have in this fight over Department of Homeland Security funding.

Yes, this stubbornness over funding a key agency that’s been shut down since Presidents’ Day weekend is more about anti-Trump hysteria, but it also reflects the Democrats’ long-term goal of defunding ICE. Republicans understand this — that’s why they funded the agency through 2029 during the first reconciliation.

With TSA agents quitting due to lack of paychecks, the Democrats believe hurting regular people to get their way will work. We’re dealing with legislative terrorists. I was hesitant about ending the filibuster, but I am now leaning entirely toward it because Democrats want unrealistic concessions, and shutting down DHS over deportation disputes isn’t a valid argument.
