ABC News Left Out Crucial Context In Story About Iran Drone Threat To California– www.westernjournal.com

ABC News’ Wednesday report on an alleged Iranian drone threat to California did not initially include that the information was “unverified.”

“We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,” ABC News reported the late February alert stated.

However, the outlet noted in an updated version of the article on Thursday — which included an editor’s note — that the full alert reportedly included the word “unverified” between “acquired” and “information.”

NBC’s Weird ‘Cubastroika’ Report Is Remarkable for Its Many Omissions– www.newsbusters.org

NBC Nightly News deserves a measure of credit for being the only Elitist Media broadcast network newscast to report on the Cuban regime’s proposed economic opening: a “Cubastroika”, if you will. However, the report is plagued with so many essential omissions that one wonders why NBC even bothered.

Watch the report in its entirety, as aired on NBC Nightly News on Monday, March 16th, 2026:

HALLIE JACKSON: To Cuba, tonight, now descending into a blackout as conditions deteriorate. But in a rare and exclusive interview, one official says the country’s now hoping to open up more of a relationship with the U.S., even with some critics skeptical. Our George Solís has made his way to Havana, and has more.

GEORGE SOLÍS: Tonight, Cuba is in the dark. The entire electrical grid collapsing today as the country struggles with an energy crisis, leaving millions on the island without power. During this latest blackout, people have been spilling out to the streets here for hours. Fortunately, some cloud cover to keep them from this blistering heat.

It’s been three months since a drop of oil has reached the country. Highways are empty because there’s no gas. Women are delivering babies in dark hospitals with no electricity. Conditions are deteriorating. I sat down exclusively with Deputy Prime Minister Oscar Pérez Oliva Fraga, considered by many to be Cuba’s economic czar. His plan- to attract more foreign investors, including large companies from the United States.

At the same time, these sources and five Western and Arab diplomats said Washington was pressing Gulf states to join the US-Israeli war. According to three of them, US President Donald Trump wants to show regional backing for the campaign, to bolster its international legitimacy as well as support at home.

“There is a wide feeling across the Gulf that Iran has crossed every red line with every Gulf country,” said Abdulaziz Sager, chairman of the Saudi-based Gulf Research Center and familiar with government thinking.

“At first we defended them and opposed the war,” he said. “But once they began directing strikes at us, they became an enemy. There is no other way to classify them.”

Tehran has already demonstrated its reach, attacking airports, ports, oil facilities and commercial hubs in the six Gulf states with missiles and drones while also attacking Israel and disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — the artery carrying about a fifth of global oil and underpinning Gulf economies.

Dems ‘Have to Stick to Their Guns’ on DHS Shutdown, ICE’s Actions ‘a Lot More Inconvenient’ than Airport Issues– www.breitbart.com

On Monday’s broadcast of “CNN NewsNight,” CNN Senior Commentator Van Jones said that “Democrats have to stick to their guns” on the DHS shutdown “because, as inconvenient as it is in an airport, it’s a lot more inconvenient to have ICE agents doing all kinds of terrible stuff, and they should be put back in a box.”

Host Abby Phillip asked, “This is starting to affect people. Van, you were saying you were in Austin this weekend. Is it time for Democrats to compromise?”

Jones answered, “No, I think Democrats have to stick to their guns, because, as inconvenient as it is in an airport, it’s a lot more inconvenient to have ICE agents doing all kinds of terrible stuff, and they should be put back in a box. However, I was in Austin, trying to leave South by Southwest. I had a 6 a.m. flight. I got there at 3 a.m. There were people, literally outside, wrapped around. It was complete — unbelievable lines. I had PreCheck and CLEAR. I barely made my flight. And then, they pulled the plane out, because it’s time to go, but the plane’s only half full, and the bags are there…so, we literally had to sit on the tarmac for an hour and then come back to re-balance the plane. Meanwhile, the people who could have made the plane balanced were stuck. It was just — the whole thing was so nutty.”

Cuba’s entire power grid has collapsed after US blocked oil shipments for 3 months, Cuban president says– www.theblaze.com

About 11 million people on the island nation of Cuba have lost power after the country’s electrical grid completely collapsed on Monday.

Cuba relies on oil to run the power grid, and a U.S. embargo has worsened the energy crisis it was already suffering under. The U.S. ended oil deliveries to Cuba from Venezuela and threatened other countries with steep tariffs if they provided oil to the nation.

‘Taking Cuba in some form, yeah, taking Cuba. I mean, whether I free it, take it, I think I can do anything I want with it.’

The state-owned power operator said efforts were under way to restore power to the island. In the meantime, energy has been rationed and many services have shut down.

“The impact [of the blockade] is tremendous. It is most brutally manifested in these energy issues,” Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said on Friday. “This causes anguish among the population.”

Trump Wants to Delay Beijing Summit to Focus on Iran – RedState– redstate.com

President Trump is hitting pause on his highly anticipated summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the end of March and is telling Beijing that it can wait a month as his team focuses on the conflict in Iran and their attempts to disrupt shipping in the crucial waterway of the Strait of Hormuz.

China has been keeping its cards close to the vest as it has warily watched U.S. forces take out most of the senior Iranian leadership in the last 17 days with Operation Epic Fury. Trump, meanwhile, has worked since the beginning of his administration to rebalance the rules of trade between the two powerful countries, as he believes the deck has long been stacked in the People’s Republic’s favor:

The summit was meant to focus on trade, as both Trump and Xi seek to extend a delicate tariff truce between the world’s two biggest economies. But China showed little immediate sign that it was bothered by the likely delay, which analysts told NBC News may actually prove beneficial to efforts to further stabilize relations.

Trump said Monday that his China trip planned for later this month could be postponed because of the war, telling reporters in Washington, “I think it’s important that I be here.” But his administration has not confirmed that the trip is delayed or shared more specific dates for when it would be rescheduled.

Congressional Democrats are referring outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to the Justice Department for lying under oath during her oversight hearings before the House and Senate earlier this month.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the ranking members of their chambers’ respective judiciary committees, asked Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday to open a perjury investigation into Noem’s “demonstrably false statements” in front of Congress on March 3 and 4.

“A number of her statements appear to violate criminal statutes prohibiting perjury and knowingly making false statements to Congress,” they wrote in a seven-page letter, citing two federal laws to support their request.

“After months of evading our Committees’ requests to testify in routine oversight hearings, Secretary Noem made a series of demonstrably false statements in a brazen attempt to undermine critical congressional oversight of the Department of Homeland Security,” the letter states.

The top Democrats point to Noem’s testimony on whether the Department of Homeland Security complies with court orders as an example of a false statement. They argued DHS has repeatedly defied court orders, but Noem insisted otherwise.

OMB Slams Dem Who Wants To Strip Vought’s Security After Assassination Attempt– thefederalist.com

 The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) doubled down on its security detail for Director Russell Vought in response to Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., objected to USAID funding being used to protect him, despite an assassination attempt on Vought earlier this year.

A letter from Mark Paoletta, OMB general counsel, to Krishnamoorthi obtained by The Federalist makes clear the threat level to Vought — exacerbated entirely by Democrats — and how Vought’s duties as senior advisor to USAID, as well as its former acting administrator, create a persistent security threat that requires 24/7 security.

“Your letter is the definition of chutzpah,” Paoletta told Krishnamoorthi. “The Left drives a systematic campaign to demonize Trump Administration officials like Director Vought that incites radical leftwing lunatics to violence. Then, the Left criticizes the Administration for taking the measures necessary to protect its officials from the violence that the Left encourages.”

“You’re making my heart race!” the woman raged in Cantonese, per a report in the Macau Post. “You’ve got plenty to do, so what’s the point of messing around with this? Are you freaking crazy?”

According to the publication, the woman was walking along the street looking at her cellphone when she realized “something” was following closely behind her.

Startled, she turned to find the robot.

In the video, you see the robot raising its arm while the woman yelled at it in Cantonese. The clip then cuts to it being escorted away by officers.

This is not the first time a robot was apprehended by police, and it likely won’t be the last.

Wyoming Is Ground Zero For RINOs’ War Against Conservatives– thefederalist.com

Wyoming bears all the hallmarks of a “red state.” Its executive offices and legislature are dominated by Republicans, and Donald Trump won it by more than 40 points in the last three presidential elections.

But like many “red states” in America today, Wyoming’s Republican rule is in many ways a mirage. So-called “Republican” elected officials have often gone out of their way to stifle and kill conservative priorities.

The state’s recently concluded budget session perfectly illustrates this problem.

Despite Republicans possessing supermajorities in the state House (56-6) and Senate (29-2), the House rejected six bills containing provisions long supported by election integrity activists and the Wyoming Freedom Caucus (WYFC), which holds a governing majority in the chamber. According to local media, these measures would have prohibited the use of ballot drop boxes, restricted ballot harvesting, “required random ballot hand count audits, directed counties to use pen and paper ballots, expanded poll watcher access and raised the bar for independent candidates to appear on the general election ballot.”

President Donald Trump revealed that Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) was told he could be dead by June due to a severe heart condition before a dramatic intervention by White House doctors helped turn the situation around.

The stunning account came during remarks alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson, who described the Florida congressman’s initial medical outlook as dire. Johnson first referenced the diagnosis while praising Dunn’s commitment to continuing his work in Congress despite the serious health concerns.

“[Dunn] had had a pretty grim diagnosis,” Johnson said. “I mentioned it to the president, and I said, ‘Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he’s still coming to work.’ And if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire.”

“What was the diagnosis?” the president asked.

“It was… I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis,” Johnson said.

Trump then bluntly stated the gravity of the situation: “He would be dead by June.”

The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced Thursday that it has determined four sham charities are directly bankrolling Hamas’s military wing and enabling its operations.

According to the Treasury Department, Hamas is hiding its revenue-generating activities behind civilian organizations, under the guise of humanitarian work, to support the group’s terrorist activities.

Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent was quoted in a press release yesterday, saying,  “Hamas continues to finance its military wing by exploiting sham charities to support terrorist operations. The Treasury Department will not allow Hamas to misuse the charitable sector for its violent aims, and we will continue to target these networks wherever they operate.”

Four separate charities are accused of channeling cash to the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which are suspected of carrying out some of the group’s most heinous terrorist activities.

Virginia Democrats prove how gun control lets criminals off the hook– www.washingtonexaminer.com

pgnewser March 16, 2026 0

Blurb:

Virginia Democrats are pushing ahead with more gun control. It is a reminder that the Democratic Party’s gun control agenda targets law-abiding gun owners and lets criminals completely off the hook.

The gun control proposals flowing through the Virginia legislature to Gov. Abigail Spanberger‘s (D-VA) desk are the typical incoherent Democratic talking points: banning the arbitrary category of “assault weapons,” banning “large capacity” magazines, and waiting periods for purchasing guns. Two of the most onerous requirements, as Jay Caruso wrote for the Washington Examiner, include requiring “a state-issued permit to purchase firearms, which would oddly extend to renting a firearm at a shooting range,” and “mandatory storage requirements” that restrict a gun owner’s ability to access his or her firearm in a timely manner in his or her own home.

None of this will do anything to solve gun crime. It is lost on Democrats, but criminals do not follow the law. They will acquire illegal “assault weapons” or magazines regardless of what you legislate. A Justice Department report from 2019 detailed how around 91% of gun criminals acquire their firearms through illegal means or from another person. Storage requirements won’t stop people who are already reckless enough to leave their guns around the house where small children can reach them, either.

Pregnant mothers are facing a profound and troubling exception to the principle of bodily autonomy unfolding in their delivery rooms.

While competent adults in virtually every other medical context retain the absolute right to refuse treatment, pregnant women face a starkly different reality. In certain states, including Florida, courts have carved out a unique legal pathway allowing hospitals to seek emergency orders compelling cesarean sections against a woman’s clearly expressed wishes. These interventions transform what should be a collaborative medical decision into a state-enforced procedure in which the mother’s informed refusal is overridden.

A ProPublica/CNN investigation into court-ordered C-sections in Florida detailed how Cherise Doyley, a seasoned birthing doula with three prior children, found herself in labor at University of Florida Health in Jacksonville in September 2024. What should have been a moment of joy turned into a nightmare when hospital staff, deeming her desire for a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) too risky, initiated an emergency court hearing in her delivery room.

“It’s a real judge in there?” Doyley asked the nurse at the beginning of what would be a three-hour hearing. “Now this is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”

Can Democrats take “Yes” for an answer?

As the Senate weighs the SAVE America Act, Republicans should help Democrats overcome their objections to this bill.

Racist Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., complain that black folks lack photo ID. Democrats insist that expecting supposedly witless or listless blacks to show poll workers photo ID is “Jim Crow 2.0.”

Democrats never offer to give IDs to these invisible legions of undocumented blacks. Imagine if Democrats handed photo ID to these poor, benighted souls: Blacks and others of color could cash checks, jet across America, get paid to shovel snow in New York City, and even vote in states with photo ID rules.

Democrats also attack SAVE for requiring birth certificates to register to vote. “Got one of those handy with you, in your purse?” Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., prodded a congressional correspondent. “I doubt it.”

So, Senate Republicans should open the SAVE America Act proceedings by making Democrats vote first on legislation that I would call The Voting Documents for All Act.

• Any adult US citizen could visit his state’s DMV office and receive a free photo ID card (not a driver’s license).

• The federal government would reimburse states for the cost of each free photo ID card, plus 10%, to encourage their assistance. This would be a funded mandate.

The leadership shrug is a remarkable new political gesture.

Members of Congress who declared their opposition to Lyndon Johnson’s most important legislative priorities tended to be woken by phone calls in the middle of the night from an angry president. Johnson was fond of physiological imagery, so members of his party who declared their independence would hear that he planned to cut their throats or alter their sexual anatomy. In profane rants, holdouts learned that federal spending for things like highways was about to become quite scarce in their district or their state, and everyone back home was going to know who had caused the sudden money drought with his stupidity.

In person, the “Johnson Treatment” – “an incredible, potent mixture of persuasion, badgering, flattery, threats, reminders of past favors and future advantages” – was known for its physical aggression, as the 6’4″ president leaned forward and shoved his face into deeply uncomfortable proximity with men who weren’t getting with the program. When he met with members of Congress, Johnson wasn’t asking.

Last week, Senate Republicans announced that they just don’t have the votes to pass the SAVE America Act, an election security bill with measures that Republican voters have strongly supported for years. “That’s just a function of math, and there isn’t anything I can do about that,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune said. This is how Republicans are pretending that Congress works: Leaders ask every member what they feel like doing, and then the members all say how they want to vote, and then leadership accepts their decision and the conversation ends. A caucus is a counting mechanism, and can’t be anything else. Thune’s “there isn’t anything I can do about that” is a gesture of make-believe helplessness that defies 250 years of legislative history.

Pew Tries To Hide Americans’ Hesitancy About Unlimited Abortion– thefederalist.com

Abortion polling is notoriously deceptive and known to strategically skew and misrepresent public opinion to favor abortion activists’ radical agendas. Pew Research Center’s latest survey appears to be no different.

In its 2026 American Trends Panel analysis, Pew uses its January 2026 survey of more than 8,500 U.S. adults to assert that a majority of Americans, 60 percent, “continue to say abortion should be legal in all or most cases.”

Pew suggests that number means states’ attempts to use the post-Dobbs v. Jackson era to outlaw or limit abortion are unpopular and out of touch. The research center’s write-up of its newly retrieved data even notes, in bold, that “In recent years, the public has become more likely to say obtaining an abortion in their area would be difficult.”
