A new national survey released by the Pew Research Center underscores that Americans remain deeply divided on abortion and far from united behind the abortion industry’s push for unlimited abortion.

“Despite efforts to portray abortion as a settled issue, Americans remain deeply conflicted about abortion and continue to recognize the humanity of the unborn child,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Only a small minority of Americans support abortion without limits. Millions believe that unborn children deserve legal protection.”

Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has almost completely stopped in the days since the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran.

Iran sits above this strategic waterway, which is a vital route for exports of oil, gas and other commodities from the Persian Gulf, and has targeted tankers in the area.

Its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned ships not to sail through the passageway, saying that vessels “could be at risk from missiles or rogue drones”, according to Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency.

Oil shortage chaos as emergency meeting called with petrol prices surging | World | News– www.express.co.uk

An emergency meeting has been called amid fears over a severe global oil shortage, with petrol prices already surging in the UK. Over 30 members will “assess the current security of supply and market conditions to inform a subsequent decision on whether to make emergency stocks […] available to the market,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said in a statement.

Oil prices dropped by more than 11% as markets began anticipating a release of emergency oil reserves, a sharp reversal after prices had surged to nearly $120 per barrel on Monday following the supply disruption. Fatih Birol noted that energy ministers from the Group of Seven nations met earlier on Tuesday to discuss possible responses to the crisis.

She’s living holy.

Today’s house prices are so high that one Pennsylvania woman purchased a massive church for cheap and is encouraging others to do the same.

Priscilla Houliston has established herself on social media with informative videos about life in a historic church in the Keystone State.

It might sound unconventional, but given the current economic environment, Houliston might be onto something.

Oil prices retreated Tuesday, even after Secretary of Energy Chris Wright wrongly claimed in a social media post that the U.S. Navy had escorted a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.

“The U.S. Navy has not escorted a tanker or a vessel at this time,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday.

U.S. crude oil fell 11.94% to close at $83.45 per barrel. Brent crude, the global benchmark, lost 11.28% to settle at $87.80. Prices fell more than 17% immediately after Wright’s post.

DNC Sues Trump Over a Plan That May Not Even Exist – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

The Democratic National Committee filed a lawsuit on Mar. 10, 2026, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, targeting several federal agencies within the Trump Administration, naming the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Department of Defense as defendants.

The lawsuit alleges that the DNC sent close to a dozen FOIA requests to the Justice Department (DOJ), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Defense Department (DOD) in October “concerning potential deployment of federal agents and troops to polling places, drop boxes, and election offices.” 

“Nearly five months later, the DNC has received neither substantive responses nor responsive documents, not even a list of documents withheld under statutory exemptions,” the suit added.

Gold Coast, Australia — The Iranian women’s soccer team left Australia minus seven of its members who were granted asylum, after tearful protests of their departure at Sydney Airport and frantic final efforts inside the terminal by Australian officials who sought to ensure the women understood they were being offered asylum.

As the team’s flight time drew nearer and they passed through security late Tuesday, each woman was taken aside to meet alone with officials who explained through interpreters that they could choose not to return to Iran.

The United States has proposed another round of Russia-Ukraine talks next week, mediated by Washington, on ending four years of war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday.

Two rounds of trilateral talks failed to reach a breakthrough to end Europe’s worst conflict since World War II, launched by Moscow in 2022.

Zelensky said in an audio message sent to reporters, including AFP, that talks — initially planned for last week in the United Arab Emirates — had been postponed until next week by the U.S.

Owner of ICE detention facility sees big opportunity in AI man camps– techcrunch.com

To house the hundreds or thousands of temporary workers needed to build an AI data center, developers are increasingly relying on temporary villages known as man camps.

This style of camp was popularized as housing for men working in remote oil fields. For example, as a Bitcoin mining facility in rural Dickens County, Texas is converted into a 1.6 gigawatt data center, Bloomberg reports its workers are living in gray housing units with access to a gym, a laundromat, game rooms, and a cafeteria that grills steaks on-demand.

A company called Target Hospitality has signed multiple contracts worth a total of $132 million to build and operate the Dickens County camp, which could eventually house more than 1,000 workers.

High Oil Prices ‘Small Price to Pay’ for ‘Peace,’ Trump Declares  – www.dailysignal.com

President Donald Trump says a sharp increase in high oil prices is a “small price to pay” in the fight against Iran.

“Short-term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, are a very small price to pay for the U.S. and world safety and peace,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, “ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!”

Oil prices have risen to more than $100 a barrel since the United States launched its attack on Iran in conjunction with Israel, killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and striking hundreds of Iran’s military targets.

Crude oil futures in London and New York soared almost 30% to nearly $120 a barrel on Monday, one of the biggest one-day jumps on record in early trading, threatening to raise costs of products from gasoline to jet fuel.

ChatGPT is Psychology’s Marlboro Man– www.madinamerica.com

On January 8th, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT for Healthcare, a generative AI (GAI) platform designed to be embedded within medical systems platforms and daily workflows. This technology suite is advertised as a solution to clinicians overburdened by administrative work through offloading cognitively taxing tasks, including the choice of diagnostic tests, supporting differential diagnosis, treatment planning, documenting session notes, creating aftercare plans for patients, and generating referral notes and discharge summaries for external providers. In other words, GAI is being implemented at every level of patient care. According to the American Medical Association’s report from their summit on AI, “disruption” of the status quo in healthcare delivery due to GAI technologies “seems inevitable.”

But why does it seem inevitable? An evidenced-based approach to evaluating new technologies would call for careful consideration of benefits and risks for technology implementation on individual use cases — not a rapid systems overhaul. Here, we must recognize that GAI technologies are products — and these products are being actively promoted to healthcare industries and healthcare professionals across the medical space, including in mental health care. Rather than investing billions of dollars into curtailing a failing system of private medical care — which has led to widespread clinician burnout and poor client outcomes — Silicon Valley companies have begun attempting to mud over these fault lines with a quick-drying GAI compound. Even the most well-meaning and justice-oriented clinician is not immune to the tidal wave of billion-dollar marketing strategies bent on creating the illusion of inevitability.

Engineers make magnets behave like graphene– www.sciencedaily.com

Two dimensional materials have drawn intense interest because their electronic and magnetic properties could power future technologies. Scientists have traditionally treated these two behaviors as separate. Engineers at Illinois Grainger Engineering have now shown that they are connected by the same underlying mathematics.

In a study published in Physical Review X, researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign demonstrated how specially designed two dimensional magnetic systems can follow the same equations that describe mobile electrons in graphene. This mathematical connection could influence the design of radiofrequency devices and also provide researchers with a powerful new way to analyze and engineer these materials.

“It’s not at all obvious that there is an analogy between 2D electronics and 2D magnetic behaviors, and we’re still amazed at how well this analogy works,” said Bobby Kaman, the study’s lead author. “2D electronics are very well studied thanks to the discovery of graphene, and now we’ve shown that a not-so-well-studied class of materials obeys the same fundamental physics.”

Volkswagen says to cut 50,000 jobs as profit slides– www.channelnewsasia.com

WOLFSBURG, Germany: Volkswagen said Tuesday (Mar 10) that it would cut 50,000 jobs in Germany by 2030 as its profit slid to its lowest level since 2016.

“In total, around 50,000 jobs are due to be cut by 2030 across the Volkswagen Group in Germany,” Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume said in a letter to shareholders in the firm’s annual report.

The 10-brand group had already struck a deal with unions at the end of 2024 to cut 35,000 jobs by 2030, mostly at its namesake brand, as part of plans to save 15 billion euros a year.

The additional cuts would come from premium brands Audi and Porsche as well as Volkswagen’s software subsidiary Cariad, Blume added.

Austin, Texas — Rachel Reyes’ son, 23-year-old American citizen Ruben Ray Martinez, was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent nearly one year ago. But she said she’s still trying to understand why.

Reyes said she has not received any videos, evidence or official reports related to her son’s killing in March 2025. While Martinez’ death was reported at the time, ICE’s involvement was not publicly disclosed until last month, nearly 11 months later.

“I just want to know what happened, why they feel it was justified, and I honestly don’t believe that. I’m not a mother in denial. I’m just a mother in doubt, because I know my son and I know he’s not a threat,” Reyes told CBS News during her first TV interview since her son’s death.

ABUJA, Nigeria — Conservative Anglican leaders have restructured their organization, signaling a break from the traditions of the historic Anglican Communion as they seek to reorder the 400-year-old church group.

The Global Anglican Future Conference, or Gafcon, dissolved its Gafcon Primates Council and replaced it with the Global Anglican Council.

The new council will include primates, advisers and guarantors, made up of bishops, clergy and lay members, each with full voting privileges, Gafcon general secretary The Right Reverend Paul Donison said in a statement.

US Tariff Lawsuits Returned to Trade Court– www.dailysignal.com

REUTERS—A U.S. appeals court on Monday returned the lawsuits that led to most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs being struck down to the U.S. Court of International Trade, which could determine the process for refunding more than $130 billion to importers.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a one-page order granting the motion by importers to send the case back to the trade court, where it originated in early 2025.

The motion was opposed by the Trump administration, which said it wanted the case delayed for up to four months to give it time to consider its options.
