Lee briefed the cabinet that “The USFK may dispatch some air defense systems abroad in accordance with its own military needs. While we have expressed opposition, the reality is that we cannot fully push through our position.”

The skies in northern Iran were dark with smoke on 8 March as the US and Israeli bombing campaign against the country continued, and black rain even fell on the capital Tehran.

The catastrophic scenes have raised concerns about threats to civilian health in Iran and other countries.

Overnight on 7 and 8 March, US-Israeli strikes hit Iran’s oil facilities for the first time since the war started a little over a week ago, igniting large fires in four oil storage facilities and an oil transfer centre in Tehran and the nearby Alborz province.

Flames loomed over Tehran in the night, and black smoke billowed over the city during the day. Soot covered the streets and cars and filled up people’s balconies. Most alarmingly, thick black raindrops fell onto roofs and streets in the capital, which until recently was experiencing a long drought.

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.

The open-source AI agent framework OpenClaw has recently gone viral worldwide, drawing significant attention from the tech industry. By enabling AI to move beyond generating content to actually executing tasks, the framework is widely seen as a key step toward the AI agent era. A growing number of Chinese technology companies are actively exploring similar approaches and rolling out related products.

Moonshot AI was among the first to launch Kimi Claw, a native integration with OpenClaw. The product emphasizes zero-code deployment and one-click setup, while also offering free computing power subsidies for OpenClaw calls, lowering the barrier for users. The move has attracted a large influx of users and helped accelerate the company’s overseas expansion, with the number of paying international users surging and overseas revenue surpassing domestic revenue for the first time.

Illegal Alien Charged With Fraudulently Voting In At Least Five Presidential Elections– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Mahady Sacko, a 50-year-old illegal alien from the West African nation of Mauritania, has been charged with fraudulent voting in the 2024 federal election after allegedly casting ballots while not being a U.S. citizen. Federal authorities allege that Sacko falsely claimed citizenship to register and vote on multiple occasions, including in prior presidential elections.

According to prosectors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Sacko entered the United States in March 1998 through Miami, Florida. Immigration records indicate he was placed in deportation proceedings in 1999.

On June 14, 2000, a Philadelphia immigration judge ordered his removal to Mauritania. Sacko appealed the decision, but the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed it on November 14, 2002. Despite the order, he remained in the country.

In January 2007, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested him in Philadelphia. However, deportation was not possible at that time due to the lack of a valid Mauritanian passport, and Mauritania’s refusal to issue a new one. As a result, ICE released Sacko under supervision and required him to report periodically.

Iran Begins Transmitting Mysterious Numeric Radio Signal Across UK– slaynews.com

A chilling new signal believed to be tied to Iran has begun appearing across the radio spectrum in Europe, with shortwave listeners in the United Kingdom reporting mysterious encrypted broadcasts shortly after the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Amateur radio enthusiasts say the transmissions resemble a classic “numbers station,” a type of coded broadcast historically associated with espionage and covert intelligence operations.

The signal has been designated “V32” by the monitoring group ENIGMA2000, which tracks suspected intelligence transmissions around the world.

Shortwave listeners say the station broadcasts strings of encrypted numbers late at night and early in the evening.

The transmissions have reportedly been heard clearly across the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, with signals bouncing off the ionosphere and appearing on the frequency 7910 kHz (7.910 MHz) in Upper Sideband mode.

Monitors have described the broadcast as a male voice, possibly synthetic, speaking in Farsi while reading out sequences of numbers.

Khamenei’s Son Is the New Supreme Leader of Iran – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Murderous Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s son has succeeded his father, and we can only hope fervently that he will soon follow his father to eternal punishment.

The news that Iran’s Assembly of Experts named Mojtaba Khamenei as the new supreme leader of Iran appeared on Iranian state media Sunday afternoon, as relayed by the Jerusalem Post. Mojtaba was only a mid-ranking Islamic cleric before now, according to the Israeli outlet, but as the son of the decades-long dictator of the nation he had many powerful ties, including to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the terrorist group that acts as the government’s enforcers and helps orchestrate overseas terrorism. Israel has vowed to eliminate any supreme leader of Iran going forward.

Notably, it was the IRGC that slaughtered 40,000+ protesters in Iran during the recent mass protests against the Islamic regime. The new boss is the same as the old boss.

The Jerusalem Post explained:

Although Iran’s ruling ideology frowns on the principle of hereditary succession, he has a powerful following within the IRGC, including close ties to IRGC chief Ahmad Vahidi, former head of IRGC intelligence Hossein Taeb, and political figures, including Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, as well as his dead father’s still-influential office.

Russia Gave Iran Info To Help Target U.S. Military– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Russia has reportedly provided Iran with information that could help the regime target U.S. military assets across the Middle East, a development that adds a dangerous new layer to a war that is already widening by the day.

U.S. intelligence officials believe Moscow passed along information that could be used against American warships, aircraft and other military positions in the region. The officials told The Associated Press there is no indication Russia is directly ordering Tehran how to use the information, but the disclosure still marks the clearest sign yet that Moscow may be trying to assist Iran as the conflict intensifies.

The report lands as U.S. and Israeli forces continue pounding Iranian targets and as Tehran keeps launching retaliatory attacks against American positions and U.S. partners in the Gulf.

The White House believes the United States is “well on its way” toward controlling Iranian airspace and expects its core military objectives could be completed within four to six weeks. President Donald Trump has also taken a harder public line, demanding Iran’s “unconditional surrender” as the campaign moves deeper into its second week.

There are times when the Elitist Media Sunday shows will staff their talking head panels in such a way so as to at least present the pretense of viewpoint diversity. Not so today, with the war in Iran being the focal point of coverage on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

Watch as ABC’s Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce, at her Mary Bruciest, dumps all over the ongoing operation and its underlying rationale:

MARTHA RADDATZ: Mary, I want to start with you. You’ve heard the explanation from the president and his cabinet about why they started this war, why it will end, and how. But is anything clearer now?

MARY BRUCE:  Martha, the explanations from this administration and the president have been absolutely head-spinning this week. I mean, I think the clearest explanation from the president is probably the broadest at this point, which is him saying that this was an evil regime and that something had to be done. He said, quote, “Somebody had to do it”.

But we have heard vastly different explanations and contradictions about why now, was — what was the imminent threat? The president said it was his opinion — quote, “his opinion” — that Iran was going to strike first. But we have seen no evidence of that and they’ve offered wildly different explanations for what comes next.

What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ does the left not understand?

It turns out, though, the left does not need to understand this country’s founding documents because there is this little thing called the judicial system, which protects the rights of Americans when officials blatantly infringe on them.

The Court of Appeals in D.C. just ruled that banning “firearm magazines that are able to hold ‘more than 10 rounds of ammunition’ was unconstitutional, violating the Second Amendment,” according to DC News Now.

In the case United States and the District of Columbia v. Tyree Benson, Benson claimed that he was unconstitutionally convicted for owning a gun that had a magazine that could hold over 10 rounds of ammunition.

The ruling stated that the federal government, a prosecutor in the case, had acknowledged that the ban violated the Second Amendment, but that the District’s government continued to defend the ban.

It turns out that when you ban these types of firearms, you nearly ban “half of all magazines that citizens own.”

The New York City Police Department (NYPD) confirmed that the device lobbed at a group of Christian anti-Islam protesters — which was thrown by an 18-year-old man who shouted “Allahu Akbar” — was indeed an explosive device capable of serious bodily harm. The announcement comes after terrorist sympathizers attempted to claim the incident was a “hoax.”

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that the device was indeed an improvised explosive device (IED) that could have killed several protesters and NYPD officers.

“The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death,” Tisch confirmed in an X post. Tisch further noted that testing is being conducted on a second device, which was lobbed at a group of NYPD officers.

“I want to again thank the brave members of the NYPD who ran towards the danger without hesitation and quickly apprehended the suspects,” she added. Sunday’s confirmation came after an initial investigation by the NYPD Bomb Squad, which analyzed the device recovered at the scene.

ALFREDO ORTIZ: American Economy Much Stronger Than Jobs Report Suggests– dailycaller.com

Friday’s jobs report showed 92,000 positions were lost in February, sending the stock market falling. The unemployment rate rose to 4.4%, and the labor force participation rate fell to 62.0%.

However, February job loss is due to several factors that don’t reflect the strength of the underlying small-business economy. Mainly, the worst winter storm since 1996 paralyzed the Northeast, trapping people in their homes, shutting down job sites, and closing retail doors. The storm dropped two feet of snow across New England, resulting in power outages affecting 600,000 people and a state of emergency throughout the region.

Generally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics highlights such large external events affecting job creation in a special section of the jobs report. But not this time. Any analysis of the February jobs report needs to include this angle.

To his supporters, Donald J. Trump is the 47th president of the United States. For our enemies, he is something far more intolerable: the de facto leader of Western civilization. He is nothing less than the obstacle to a civilizational transformation they have already advanced in London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, and Ottawa.

This enemy has a name: the Red-Green alliance. It is the political covenant between the left and Islam. Its strength is precisely that it is not external. It votes. It holds our passports. It sits in our legislatures and city halls. It shouts down, as in the example of Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, our president’s State of the Union. This is the enemy within: a left who mobilizes blocs of Islamic voters whose only shared objective is the destruction of the West.

Trump is alone among Western leaders in saying this plainly. When pressed as to whether British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s refusal to assist U.S action against Iran was due to his “pandering to Muslim voters,” Trump refused to recite the ritual lie.

Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani deflected questions Friday about his wife’s apparent endorsement of Instagram posts that celebrated Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7, 2023, assault on Israel.

Rama Duwaji, a Syrian-American artist who married Mamdani in early 2025, liked multiple Instagram posts on the day of the attack and the following day that framed the violence as justified resistance, according to Jewish Insider, which first reported the story. One post from an account called The Slow Factory showed images of a bulldozer smashing through the Israel-Gaza barrier and attackers atop a seized Israeli military vehicle.

Duwaji also engaged with content from The People’s Forum promoting a pro-Palestinian rally in Times Square on Oct. 8, 2023.

Two women – one from California and the other from Colorado – have been found guilty by a jury of a felony stalking charge for following a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation officer home and livestreaming their pursuit on social media.

Cynthia Raygoza, 38, of Riverside, and Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado, were found guilty late Friday of one count of stalking.

According to evidence presented at a four-day trial, on August 28, 2025, the defendants – while dressed in black and concealing their faces with black masks – followed the victim from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his personal residence. The victim was heading home to his family for an outing that included a surprise for his sons, ages three and seven.

Mexican cartels have begun avoiding direct attacks on Americans in Mexico because President Donald Trump has made clear that violent drug trafficking organizations now face the possibility of U.S. military action. Trump’s harder regional strategy raises the stakes for cartel violence against American citizens and businesses operating south of the border.

Trump’s intentions were driven home during his remarks at the Shield of the Americas summit in Doral, Fla., where he told regional leaders the United States won’t hesitate to use lethal military force against cartel operations if necessary, specifically stating that missiles and other military tools remain on the table if cartels continue threatening American lives and U.S. national security.

Trump encouraged regional leaders gathered at his Miami-area golf club to take military action against drug trafficking cartels and transnational gangs that he says pose an “unacceptable threat” to the hemisphere’s national security.

“The only way to defeat these enemies is by unleashing the power of our militaries,” Trump said. “We have to use our military. You have to use your military.” Citing the U.S.-led coalition that confronted the Islamic State group in the Middle East, the Republican president said that “we must now do the same thing to eradicate the cartels at home.”

Since 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has haunted the U.S. with its hostage-taking, support of terrorism around the globe, threats to acquire nuclear weapons and vaporize Israel, and attempts to assassinate Donald Trump.

Despite decades of presidential talking, the current commander in chief is the first one to really make a serious move to neutralize the threat posed by Iran, and Operation Epic Fury has wiped out virtually their entire leadership structure.

But there’s another country that’s bedeviled us even longer: the República de Cuba.

In 1980, meanwhile, Castro sent some of the Caribbean country’s most violent, depraved criminals to Florida in the Mariel Boatlift.
