A family in Houston is counting their lucky stars that no one was hurt after a cantaloupe-size meteorite smashed through the roof of their home and ricocheted around an empty bedroom. The space rock is most likely a fragment of a meteor that witnesses saw breaking apart with a bang in the bright-blue Texas sky.

The exploding space rock is one of several other “fireballs” that have been spotted streaking across the U.S. over the past few days. These unusually frequent light shows are the result of a peculiar trend that scientists still don’t fully understand.

Middle East crisis live: Iran dismisses Trump claim of talks; von der Leyen says global energy situation is ‘critical’ | US-Israel war on Iran– www.theguardian.com

Donald Trump has claimed the US and Iran have held talks in which the two sides had “major points of agreement”, and speculated that a deal could soon be done to end the war, a claim contradicted by Tehran.

Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) called Trump’s words “psychological operations” that had no impact on Tehran’s fight, while parliamentary speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said it was “fake news … used to manipulate the financial and oil markets”.

Despite doubts about any direct negotiations, a European official said Egypt, Pakistan and Gulf states were relaying messages. On Tuesday, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said it was time for negotiations with Iran, given the global energy situation was now “critical”.

Speaking in Australia at the conclusion of a new free-trade agreement between the EU and Australia, she said: “The situation is critical for the energy supply allies worldwide. We all feel the knock-on effects on gas and oil prices, our businesses and our societies, but it is of utmost importance that we come to a solution that is negotiated, and this puts an end to the hostilities that we see in the Middle East.”

Epic Games said on Tuesday (Mar 24) it would cut more than 1,000 jobs after a drop in engagement for Fortnite, its flagship title, the latest cuts in the video-game industry whose growth has stalled amid economic uncertainty.

The cuts, along with more than US$500 million in savings from lower contracting and marketing spending and unfilled roles would put the company in “a more stable place,” Chief Executive Tim Sweeney said in a note to employees.

The cuts are the latest in the gaming sector, where companies have faced weaker growth as consumers have been sticking with proven titles amid economic uncertainty.

But even those, especially live services games, which depend on a steady stream of new content to keep players engaged, are now showing signs of cracks.

Undercover videos catch Kansas university employees saying DEI still used despite law– www.thecollegefix.com

Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are still underway at Washburn University in Kansas despite a state law banning the ideology, according to two recently published undercover videos.

Both edited videos were released this month by Accuracy in Academia, a conservative watchdog group that has over the last year targeted numerous universities across Republican-controlled states with the same sting: catching employees admitting to undercover investigators that they are flouting anti-DEI laws.

At Washburn, located in Topeka, a video published March 18 centers on lecturer Craig Carter with the School of Applied Studies, who told an AIM investigator that employees were told to discontinue DEI but “to my knowledge, we didn’t do any of that here.”

“A lot of times we use other words for diversity,” he was recorded saying on AIM’s hidden camera, according to the group.

“We talk about inclusion, you know, and stuff like that. For the most part, we haven’t been… I mean, I haven’t changed anything that I say or do in the classroom,” Carter said.

The Democrats’ partial government shutdown just crossed the one-month mark, and Americans trying to catch a flight are paying the price. Security lines stretch for three hours or more, and workers aren’t getting paid.

The shutdown started on February 14, when Democrats blocked a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the TSA, as a form of protest against immigration enforcement. And now, Elon Musk is stepping in to do what Democrats apparently can’t. While Democrats and Republicans duke it out, roughly 64,000 TSA employees are classified as essential workers — meaning they’re required to show up every single day, paycheck or not.

Sweden’s sweeping national digital ID system has been hacked, with the public’s sensitive data already being sold on the dark web.

A hacker group calling itself ByteToBreach has reportedly dumped sensitive source code tied to Sweden’s national digital identity system.

The incident is raising alarm over the risks of centralized control as governments worldwide push similar schemes.

The group claims it breached CGI’s Swedish division and accessed code connected to the nation’s digital identity system, called BankID.

BankID is the single authentication system used by millions of Swedes for banking, taxes, government services, and digital signatures.

HARARE, Zimbabwe — HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe has detained the leading opponent to planned constitutional amendments that would extend the rule of the country’s 83-year-old president and make the post elected by Parliament, not the people. Former finance minister Tendai Biti was set to appear in court on Monday.

It’s the highest profile detention yet of critics of the attempt to allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his rule, due to end in 2028, by two years. Police in recent months have banned meetings or arrested people for gathering to express opposition.

Biti leads the Constitutional Defenders Forum, a group campaigning against the amendments. CDF spokesman Jacob Rukweza said Biti and programs director Morgan Ncube are accused of holding a public meeting without notifying police. They were detained on Saturday in the eastern city of Mutare.

The College Fix reports:

Manchester Comm. College violates state law, 1st Amendment by making TPUSA move table: claim

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression has sent a letter challenging Manchester Community College’s decision to require a Turning Point USA table to change locations due to its “political nature.”

According to the March 18 letter from FIRE Campus Rights Advocacy Counsel Garrett Gravley to Manchester CC President Paul Beaudin, MCC TPUSA President Samuel Raiti set up a table last October at the school’s main entrance “in an area that did not obstruct pedestrian traffic.”

Washington, D.C. – Part 1 of a five-part Fox News Digital series investigation follows the money that created the “Revolutionary Base” for a transnational network of organizations allegedly waging cognitive warfare on U.S. citizens on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.

As far-left American activists flood Cuba to support its flailing communist regime, U.S. officials have opened a sprawling investigation into an anti-America, pro-China nonprofit network forged during a wedding celebration in late February 2017, off Runaway Bay on Jamaica’s northern coast.

There, beneath a canopy of palm trees, an elite cadre of activists, intellectuals, celebrities, political organizers and comrades in a global Marxist-Leninist-Maoist movement assembled to celebrate the “Revolutionary Love” of two luminaries, both 62 at the time: Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon living in Shanghai, and Jodie Evans, a red-haired veteran activist and co-founder of CodePink Women for Peace.

Like the opening scene of “The Godfather,” where powerful families consolidate power, the wedding celebration was about much more than the union of two people.

Tucker Carlson: Xueqin:  So what I would do is basically, basically sit down everyone, okay? Including Russia, China, Iran, and say, it’s time for a new world order where we are partners in this relationship. Right? Before America was a hegemon, before the US dollar was a world reserve currency. Uh, but now what we wanna do is open a dialogue where everyone is respected, where, um, America is, is no longer the bully, but a winning partner in creating a new economic order that benefits everyone and not just, and not just a few. Tucker: I, I think that’s the, the wisest possible advice and probably the only path that preserves civilization. Um, and, but they’re the one country standing in the way of that is Israel (Tucker Carlson on X).

Unsurprisingly, Tucker believes that the world would be a utopia without the Jews.

Trump was asked about the sanctions relief, which could possibly produce $14 billion in revenue for Iran, while boarding Air Force One in Florida on Monday.

“We don’t even know if Iran gets that money,” Trump said. “Frankly, I think it’s very hard for them to get it, but you have ships that are out there that load it up with oil.”

Rather than keep it there, I would rather see it go to the system,” the president said. “Any small amount of money that Iran gets is not going to have any difference in this war. But I want to have the system be lubricated.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the easing of sanctions on Iranian oil Friday, as oil supplies have been limited due to Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

On Friday evening, President Donald Trump issued Iran’s mullahs a 48-hour deadline: Open the Strait of Hormuz or say goodbye to your power plants.

 

And then, this morning — just 12 hours before the deadline ended — the president abruptly pulled the plug:

But did you notice the timing?

Trump delivered the ultimatum on Friday evening, after the U.S. markets had closed for the week. And he canceled his ultimatum on Monday morning, just before the U.S. markets reopened.

And the new five-day deadline? Why, it conveniently begins after the U.S. markets close on Friday!

None of this was coincidental.

President Donald Trump said his two primary negotiators in dealing with Iran met with representatives from the Islamic Republic on Sunday night, hours before he postponed U.S. strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.

Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner spoke with their Iranian counterparts, Trump confirmed to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, who relayed the information to her audience Monday morning.

Trump’s comments came shortly after Iranian state media reported that there were no “direct or indirect” talks with his administration.

The president said he did not know what the state-run media outlets were talking about and suggested they did not know the latest information, according to Bartiromo.

“It’s hard to get any information there because the U.S. is blowing up so much of their infrastructure,” he told the Fox News host.

President Trump said in a Sunday post that he supports Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers wearing masks during operations targeting “hardened criminals,” while also calling for agents to go without masks during their work at airports.

“I am a BIG proponent of ICE wearing masks as they search for, and are forced to deal with, hardened criminals, many of whom were let into our Country by Sleepy Joe Biden and his wonderful “Border Czar,” Kamala (she never even went to the Border!), through their absolutely INSANE Open Border Policy.

More than willing to hold Americans’ ease of travel hostage, Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Senate initiated a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security last month, conditioning the passage of the FY2026 DHS appropriations bill on restrictions to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection operations.

This Democratic denial of funding that has survived over four votes on theme has manifested in long lines and headaches at airports across the country — especially at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, which urged travelers on Monday morning to “arrive at least 4 hours early” on account of Transportation Security Administration staffing constraints and the correlated “longer than normal wait times at security checkpoints.”

President Donald Trump is demanding that any deal with Democrats to fund the Department of Homeland Security includes an agreement on requiring photo identification and proof of citizenship in federal elections

The demand merges two battles that Congress has failed to resolve.

“I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats unless, and until, they Vote with Republicans to pass ‘THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday night.

“In other words, lump everything together as one, and VOTE!!! Kill the Filibuster, and stay in D.C. for Easter, if necessary.”

The SAVE America Act, if signed into law, would require photo identification and proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.

Trump has called for the bill to include restrictions on transgender procedures for minors, transgender participation in women’s sports, and mail-in ballots.

New York Post: Socialists from the US and Europe put on a concert in Cuba — just as the country was plunged into third blackout this month Saturday. A convoy of socialists — including streamer Hasan Piker, the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, members of Code Pink and lefty Irish hip-hop group Kneecap — is in Cuba with the goal of supporting Cuba’s oppressive communist regime. But Piker and others have been dogged by criticism for staying in a 5-star hotel in Havana, and Kneecap played a concert in the capital city as the rest of the nation of 11 million people faced yet another major blackout. Kneecap previously was accused of supporting Hamas. At the group’s show, which appeared to be attended by only a handful of people, the rappers were filmed chanting “Free Cuba, f–k Trump, f–k Netanyahu.
