As Domestic Terror Attacks Pile Up, Democrats Continue to Leave Homeland Security Un-Funded

THREE Americans DEAD (22+ injured). 1) Texas bar massacre – 2) NYC ISIS bomb plot at protest – 3) Virginia university shooting (ISIS supporter) – 4) Michigan synagogue ramming… The common thread?

Rats Are Jumping Ship: Is the Iranian Regime Relocating to Canada?

…Reports were emerging in January that even while Iranian citizens fed an uprising that led to the murder of roughly 40,000 of them at the hands of the Iranian regime, members of the regime have been quietly relocating to Canada…there’s this post from X that corroborates the initial X post that went viral…https://x.com/BabakTaghvaee1/status/2032706481410203771 > > The Shia cleric who was filmed at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, arriving from Iran together with his family, has been identified as Hojjatoleslam Morteza Tayyebi. He has recently obtained Canadian citizenship.

What Do You Need? Some Thoughts on Mindset and EDC…
https://civiliangunfighter.wordpress.com/2016/02/24/what-do-you-need-some-thoughts-on-mindset-and-edc/
In this post, I want to talk about what is REALLY needed by the average person that carries a concealed weapon every day, and I want to do so against the backdrop of the ubiquitous “Every Day Carry” (EDC) discussion. I can actually summarize it in one sentence, and I’m not being flippant.
Abide by the 4S Rule, carry your gun, and be careful in parking lots!…if you wouldn’t go somewhere unarmed, you certainly shouldn’t go there armed!

Friday night was, I believe, night eight of the protests that have broken out across Cuba, and it was the biggest, boldest night yet. Of course, people are still banging pots and pans and marching in the streets, shouting things such as “Freedom,” “Long live Trump,” and “Down with communism,” but night eight got a little more serious.

Self Care – Sunlight, fresh air, and exercise — oh, my.
https://thelawdogfiles.substack.com/p/self-care
Spring is trying to spring in North Texas — although we’re looking at a low of 28 degrees F on Sunday — and the days are topping out in the high 60s to low 70s. My doctor is a big proponent of sunlight and started riding my butt about getting outside during my Great Cortisol Poisoning period of 2020-2022. I argued with him a bit — pointing out that I am a light-eyed, fair-skinned redhead — and he looked at me like I was stupid, before gently pointing out that sun exposure was a spectrum, with “Lobster” at one end and “Dead Fish” at the other; and that 10-20 minutes outside early in the morning or late in the evening wasn’t going to up my chances of skin cancer all that much. It would, he continued, do wonders for mood regulation, my immune system, and my quality of life in general.

The new wealth tax, which will raise an estimated $4 billion per year, will be used to cut other taxes and expand the Working Families Tax Credit to an estimated 460,000 households (until, of course, a flood of high-earners leave the state).

US Airstrikes ‘Totally Obliterate’ Iranian Military Targets on “Crown Jewel” Kharg Island
https://gellerreport.com/2026/03/trump-us-airstrikes-totally-obliterate-iranian-military-targets-on-crown-jewel-kharg-island.html/
The U.S. military bombed Iran’s most strategic economic asset, Kharg Island. The tiny spot of land in the northern Persian Gulf is the launch point for 90% of the country’s oil exports. Despite its size, it is one of the most critical pieces of Iran’s energy infrastructure. The US striking this small but vital island in the northern Gulf is like going for Iran’s economic jugular vein. Ninety percent of Iran’s crude oil comes through a terminal on the island – transported through pipes from the mainland.

He also said the United States and other countries would send warships to ensure that the Strait was open. Marines were also being dispatched to the region…Iran said Saturday that all countries besides(meaning other than) the US and Israel may pass through the Strait of Hormuz, in a desperate attempt at coalition-busting less than a day after the US bombed military targets on its oil-critical Kharg Island. “As a matter of fact, the Strait of Hormuz is open,”…“It is only closed to the tankers and ships belonging to our enemies, to those who are attacking us and their allies.

This time, however, there is a silver lining: one of the bright stars of the contemporary left, New York Mayor Zohan Mamdani, is on the case… the alleged spike in “Islamophobia” is all because of Trump and the rhetoric of patriotic lawmakers. It does include a small nod to reality, noting that “matters devolved last weekend after a right-wing agitator led a protest outside Gracie Mansion called ‘Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City.’ Two alleged Islamic State sympathizers attempted to throw homemade explosive devices into a crowd of people and police, but the items failed to detonate.”…That’s all Gothamist has to say about that.

The Best Quote on Islam That You’ve Never Heard – Winston Churchill Predicted Europe’s Fall to Islam All the Way Back in 1899
https://www.westernjournal.com/best-quote-islam-never-heard-winston-churchill-predicted-europes-fall-islam-way-back-1899
Former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill recognized Islam’s threat to Europe in 1899… his observations regarding Islam are as timeless and politically astute as any by the British statesman… from The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property—either as a child, a wife, or a concubine—must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science—the science against which it had vainly struggled— the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

I walked away from California Democrats to keep my sanity – Noosheen Hashemi
https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/i-walked-away-from-california-democrats-to-keep-my-sanity
It used to feel good to be a Democrat in California. Emphasis on used to — and President Trump’s recent State of the Union address illuminated exactly why I left the party…What changed my mind was not the rhetoric. It was the outcomes. California is the glaring example of the failure of liberal policies.
Three areas illustrate the pattern…
∙ Elections: When California Democrats treat voter ID as ideological heresy, they weaken the legitimacy of the system they claim to defend.
∙ Family: When the state becomes the decision-maker – Compassion cannot justify dissolving the family as the primary unit of accountability.
∙ Fiscal reality: Math still applies – California’s budget rests on a narrow and volatile base…Wealth-based tax proposals focus on the very taxpayers who fund a disproportionate share of state commitments.
The pattern is simple. Spend expansively. Measure loosely. Promise morally. Deliver inconsistently.

And it’s like when we say we hate men, we are really saying we hate the patriarchy. We really hate the system that keeps men in power and keeps men harming us. Men hate us as people. Men hate us individually. Sometimes people are like why are you so angry about the patriarchy, Kristen?

Former MSNBC, ABC News, and Bloomberg hack Mark Halperin is trying to survive in independent media…he hosted Dr. Glenn Burnett to discuss the psychological issues afflicting the TDS hordes in the wake of the dawn of America’s Golden Age…Wyoming doctor told Mark Halperin Thursday evening many of his patents are in crisis after President Donald Trump took office for a second time last month. Internal medicine physician Glenn Burnett joined Halperin on 2WAY Tonight, where he compared the mental health of patients he has treated since Trump won the 2024 election to those he saw after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. Burnett explained his patients are from “all walks of life” before Halperin noted he was concerned before the election that a Trump win might cause untold voters to become “deeply troubled.”…The doctor lamented that elections are held every four years just before the holidays and said he had seen a great deal of patients who had cut family members off since the election*.
More from the doctor:
What has happened is I am just bombarded with all kinds of things all the time. I would say, to be fair, to set it up, when Biden was the president, I had all kinds of stuff from the other side. But it has been extremely intense. The last – the week or two after the election was pretty intense. It then calmed down, and now it’s really back up. We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that, like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure. And then people are — there’s some genuine fear, panic. I hear things from people all the time that I just — I don’t want to repeat because they’re — people, I don’t think would believe me. That just people have these very, very severe anxieties about what is going to happen to them. And it is affecting their lives… I was a physician during 9/11 and it was like this then … people are having real crises.

*This is a phenomenon that I have experienced in my personal life.

The response was usually something like, “I’ll say something sometime, and all hell will break loose”. I personally know 3 Hispanics who were thrown out of their family for voting other than Democrat, not Republican, just other than Democrat. “YOU ARE DEAD TO US!” – sad but true – jlr)

We Need Our Guns
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2026/03/lew-rockwell/we-need-our-guns/
Arguments about the right to own guns often turn out to be arguments about the meaning of the “right to keep and bear arms” in the Second Amendment. These debates are important, and I will say something about them later, but there is an even more essential issue… John R. Lott, Jr., the foremost authority on the statistics of gun ownership and crime, has said, “There is a clear consensus among economists about self-defense, gun-free zones, firearms and suicide, and concealed handgun laws. Among North American economists: • Eighty-eight percent say that guns are more frequently ‘used in self-defense than they are used in the commission of crime.’ • Ninety-one percent believe that gun-free zones are ‘more likely to attract criminals than they are to deter them.’ • Seventy-two percent do not agree that ‘a gun in the home causes an increase in the risk of suicide.’ • Ninety-one percent say that ‘concealed handgun permit holders are much more law-abiding than the typical American.’• Eighty-one percent say that permitted concealed handguns lower the murder rate.”… The historian Joyce Lee Malcolm has done important research in this area in her definitive book Guns and Violence: The English Experience (Harvard, 2002). She proceeds by a learned study of violent crime in England, from the Middle Ages to the present. In her survey, a constant theme emerges. As guns became more prevalent, violent crime decreased.

Trump’s prison order draws a line that reality should have drawn first
https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/trumps-prison-order-draws-a-line-that-reality-should-have-drawn-first
Allowing men into women’s prisons should never be called ‘compassionate care.’…Women in prison deserve the dignity to heal without being sacrificed to an ideology… Trump’s executive order barring taxpayer-funded gender surgeries in federal prisons signals a shift away from treating prisons like laboratories for social experimentation. The order supports women and supports safety.

President Donald Trump has never been shy about the disproportionate support the United States has supplied to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Sunday, the chief executive warned what may come of that alliance pending “no response or if it’s a negative response” to his calls for NATO to pull its weight in defending ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Oil Shock of 2026: Pulp Fiction Economics
https://wilderwealthywise.com/the-oil-shock-of-2026-pulp-fiction-economics/
Plastics? Oil. – Transport? Trucks, ships, planes all guzzle it. – Heating an East Coast home in winter? Oil or derivatives. – Lubrication for machines that make everything from iPhones® to insulin? Yep, oil again. When the price jumps it acts like a stealth tax on every single human activity that involves moving atoms around. We’ve already seen Brent crude north of $120 a barrel, with whispers of $150 if this drags on. Groceries will cost more because trucks burn fuel. Manufacturing grinds slower because inputs skyrocket. Even that Amazon® package shows up later and at a higher price…Historically, high energy prices have been a tyrant’s best friend. Cheap energy? That’s freedom fuel. It lets people build, innovate, travel, and produce wealth without begging the government for handouts. Low prices mean less dependence on central planners I can heat my home, drive to work, and fill my tank without the state holding the reins. But jack up those prices? Wealth creation stalls. People cut back on extras, then necessities. Factories idle. Jobs vanish. Suddenly, the masses are clamoring for subsidies, price controls, “emergency” aid.

∙ The European Union said it was all for opening the strait, but did not go as far as saying action was imminent. “It is in our interest to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, and that’s why we are also discussing what we can do in this regard,” said Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat for foreign affairs and security policy.
∙ Ed Miliband, Britain’s energy minister, emphasized that the “best and simplest way” to reopen the strait was to curb the war.
∙ Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said none of its navy is heading into the dangerous waters of the war-torn Persian Gulf.
∙ China sidestepped the question entirely, but has said the war should stop.
∙ French President Emmanuel Macron has said that once the danger has passed, France would send warships to help ships make it through the strait.
∙ South Korean President Lee Jae Myung’s office said it would “communicate closely with the United States,” but made no promise of action.

‘Not this week, not ever’: Schumer vows to block Trump’s SAVE Act
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/mar/15/week-ever-schumer-vows-block-trumps-save-act/
Schumer vows to stop SAVE Act from ever passing: Requiring voter ID is a bridge too far for Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer, who has vowed to stop it from “ever” passing. If only those with an ID can vote, how will all the illegals cast their votes? Senate Republican Leader John Thune opined that the commonsense measure to require photo ID should “get an automatic ‘yes’ vote from literally every member of this body.” Currently, the SAVE Act would require 60 votes to pass the Senate, and Republicans only hold 53 seats. Our Thomas Gallatin has explained that even measures such as reworking the Senate filibuster would be unlikely to guarantee passage of the bill. Americans across party lines support voter ID requirements. If upholding the will of the people is impossible for the Senate, it is a judgment on that legislative body.

Dems Aren’t Even Hiding Their Election Shenanigans Now
https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/16/the-morning-briefing-dems-arent-even-hiding-their-election-shenanigans-now-n4950678/
For a very long time, Democrats insisted that election fraud was a nonexistent fever-dream that Republicans were having. In recent years, their story has shifted, and they now acknowledge that some election fraud might exist, but that it’s rare. Lately, the growing concern on the right is that the flood of illegal aliens who have been waltzing across our southern border will be making their way to the polls and voting. Again, Democrats swear that this isn’t the plan, but nobody on this side is buying that. There is a lot of concern in blue states about having any federal immigration enforcement at polling places next November.
If there are no illegals voting, why would having immigration officers at the polls be a problem?
Democrats aren’t answering that question, and now they’ve begun to make sure that the feds stay away.

And survives the inevitable court challenges. To my eyes, Initiative No. 25-0024 looks like an unconstitutional taking, although granted, you never know what the courts might decide. But the money has already left the state, perhaps never to return.

Early-season heatwave intensifies across western United States, Extreme Heat Warnings issued
https://watchers.news/2026/03/18/early-season-march-heatwave-intensifies-across-western-united-states-extreme-heat-warnings-issued/
A strong and persistent high-pressure system has stalled over the Desert Southwest on March 18 and will bring a widespread and potentially record-breaking early-season heatwave across the western United States. The stalled system is forecast to expand, allowing the heat to spread eastward from California and the Great Basin into the Rockies and Great Plains by March 20. This configuration suppresses cloud formation and enhances solar heating, supporting continued temperature increases across a broad region. The heatwave is forecast to persist through the weekend, with conditions expected to gradually return closer to seasonal averages early next week as the upper-level pattern weakens and shifts.

Mayor Mamdani References ‘Palestinian Genocide’ at St. Patrick’s Day Event, Adds Trash to NYC Dumpster Fire

A dumpster fire doesn’t go out on its own — somebody has to stop feeding it. Nobody told Zohran Mamdani. Since the Democratic socialist took over as mayor, New York City has become a masterclass in progressive misgovernance. People have frozen to death on the streets while he pours billions into homeless hotel shelters that warehouse problems instead of solving them. Trash piles up on sidewalks like modern art installations nobody asked for. And when an ISIS sympathizer threw a bomb at the governor’s mansion, Mamdani’s instinct was to blame — I kid you not — white supremacists.

NYC Mayor Mamdani Signs $1.9 Billion No-Bid Hotel Contract to House Homeless for Three Years
https://americanjournaldaily.com/mamdani-billion-hotel-homeless/
Let’s be honest about what’s happening to our cities. They were once beacons of American ambition, places where common sense and hard work were the currency of success. Now, they are laboratories for a warped, progressive version of “compassion” that does nothing but create misery. This new ideology isn’t about solving problems. It’s about signaling virtue by burning through mountains of other people’s money…competition is a dirty word for socialists. Instead, Mamdani’s team handed a blank check to the Hotel Association of New York City Foundation, a group representing 300 hotels.
★ NYC’s socialist mayor is spending a staggering $1.9 billion to rent hotel rooms.
★ The “no-bid” contract enriches a politically connected hotel “cartel” with taxpayer money.
★ Mamdani is closing a city-owned shelter while funneling billions to private hotel owners.

(Since allies (and adversaries), including NATO, are refusing to join the US in militarily keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, and NATO members have not fully funded NATO for decades, relying on personnel and material from the USA – I wonder if Trump might be setting up to withdraw from NATO.

I can picture President Donald Trump guffawing at the news — it’s one of those allegedly “non-presidential” things that he does, which I find so entertaining. U.S. intelligence believes that the new Iranian Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is gay. Trump was briefed on this intelligence tidbit last week and reportedly burst out laughing with the rest of his national security team. The irony is lost on no one. Iran executes men for being gay, and for the Islamic Republic to countenance a gay man as Supreme Leader is the height of cynicism and hypocrisy. Three (UNIDENTIFIED/anonymous/”the usual suspects”-jlr) sources told the New York Post of the intelligence, saying that the information was credible and not a rumor intended to undermine Khamenei the Younger.

During Northern Hemisphere winter, El Niño often brings wetter conditions to the southern United States while contributing to warmer temperatures across northern North America. El Niño also tends to influence tropical cyclone activity. Atlantic hurricane activity typically decreases during El Niño years due to stronger vertical wind shear across the tropical Atlantic basin

Trump waives Jones Act for 60 days in bid to free up the flow of oil to US ports
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-waives-jones-act-60-days-bid-free-up-flow-oil-us
President Trump issued a 60-day waiver of the Jones Act, a century-old law requiring cargo between U.S. ports to be carried on American-built, American-owned, American-flagged, and American-crewed ships, in an effort to ease fuel costs as the war with Iran chokes off the Strait of Hormuz. The strait normally carries about a fifth of the world’s oil, and its effective closure has pushed Brent crude above $103 per barrel and sent the average U.S. gas price to $3.84 per gallon. The waiver opens domestic ports to foreign vessels carrying oil, natural gas, fertilizer, and coal, removing a bottleneck that has long driven up shipping costs between U.S. ports. The Jones Act has been waived multiple times for emergencies, including after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hurricane Maria in 2017, and the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack in 2021.

U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth gave the U.S. Agency for Global Media a week to put together a plan for putting Voice of America on the air. It has been operating with a skeleton staff since President Trump issued an executive order to shut it down.

Built on Sand: The Iran War Puts Europe Under Pressure

It is only a matter of time before the widening cracks in the EU translate into open secessionist tendencies. Amid mounting geopolitical pressure, EU member states are increasingly seeking refuge in national solutions, causing the commission to lose influence. The introduction of joint debt issuance could serve as the EU Commission’s last anchor under Ursula von der Leyen.

**************(It is NOT that the Europeans don’t think that it is their fight.
The fact is, why they are refusing to help the USA with Iran is that
the European politicians in Europe are terrified of what the millions of MUSLIM “migrants”(an invading army), that they have invited in, might start creating more violent terrorist incidents than they are already doing, if they help the USA in any way – and that might cause the European Liberal Sheeple they rule to rebel and vote them out of their nice cushy jobs, and worse off the “A” list party circuit.
Muslims’ avowed goal is a European Caliphate, and Europe helping the USA defeat Iran might give them the push to actively try to take over the governments by force . . . . . . . . .You know, just like they once did in Iran 50+ years ago ( well if it worked once for 50+ uears . . . . . – jlr)

Iranian President Pezeshkian Wants to Resign
https://gellerreport.com/2026/03/iranian-president-pezeshkian-wants-to-resign.html/
Even after one of history’s greatest military triumphs that took out some of the world’s most dangerous architects of terror, the Democrat media machine continues to whing and whine and decry the elimination of murderous madmen and the world state sponsor of terror. It sneers, nitpicks, and all but mourns the fall of a regime that has spread bloodshed for decades. The eradication of Iran’s mullahcracy would be a seismic win for human freedom and global security, relief for millions living under its boot. And still, the party of grievance and its media echo chamber can’t stand it. But there’s no one to whom he can submit that resignation. Perhaps he doesn’t want to go “meet” all his erstwhile terrorist colleagues. I

Mamdani rages as immigration judge orders deportation of NYC Council employee
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2026/03/19/mamdani-rages-as-immigration-judge-orders-deportation-of-nyc-council-employee-1628172/
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani lashed out at what he called an “affront to justice” after an immigration judge ordered the deportation of a former City Council employee who was detained earlier this year. In January, 53-year-old Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez – a Venezuelan national – checked in for a “routine immigration appointment” in Nassau County and was taken into custody when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identified him as a “criminal illegal alien” who entered the U.S. on a 2017 tourist visa and never left. He also has a previous arrest for assault, meaning that his detention was fully justified, and now, he’s about to be put on a plane and sent back to where he came from. Hizzoner fumed over the judge’s hasta la vista to Rubio Bohorquez, taking to X to express his disapproval and to demand that he be released immediately.

Damning study of over a million kids finds myocarditis only in the vaccinated
https://www.theblaze.com/news/damning-study-of-millions-of-kids-finds-heart-problems-only-in-the-vaccinated
The peer-reviewed study — conducted by researchers at the University of Oxford, the University of Bristol, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and published in January in the scientific journal Epidemiology — looked at the safety and effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine in healthy children ages 5-15 following the rollout that began in late 2021. Using data from the OpenSAFELY-TPP database with the blessing of NHS England, the researchers compared the “effectiveness and safety of: (1) the first vaccine dose versus no vaccination and (2) a second dose versus a single dose only.” Specifically, they compared 141,711 children ages 5-11 and 410,463 adolescents ages 12-15 who were given a first dose of the vaccine with equal numbers of unvaccinated children from the same age groups. The researchers found that the vaccination provided some benefits, including an “initial protective effect” that waned by 14 weeks as well as a lower incidence of emergency room visits than recorded among the unvaccinated cohort. They noted, however, that “myocarditis and pericarditis were documented only in the vaccinated groups, with rates of 27 and 10 cases/million after the first and second doses, respectively.” As late as January 2023, the U.K. Health Security Agency said that “the reported rate for heart inflammation (myocarditis and pericarditis) was 13 per million first doses and 8 per million second doses of the monovalent Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine” among those under the age of 18. “That there were no cases of myocarditis or pericarditis in the unvaccinated group does not mean that such events cannot occur without COVID-19 vaccination, only that these events were not observed in the unvaccinated groups in our specific matched analyses,” the study noted.

Trump Dumps on NATO After Every Spineless NATO Ally Refuses to Help Secure Hormuz, ‘They Will Do Nothing For Us’
https://gellerreport.com/2026/03/nato-cowards.html/
 Every member of NATO refused the call to help the United States to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. All of them.
 These parasites have lived off American security guarantees while offering nothing in return—for far too long.
 The USA must stop funding these useless organizations.
President Trump put NATO allies on notice Tuesday after they shunned his request for assistance in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for international shipping…when asked if he would remove the United States from NATO. “I don’t need Congress for that decision, as you probably know, I can make that decision myself.”…“I’m very disappointed in NATO, very disappointed,” he said. “We spend trillions of dollars on NATO. Think of it, trillions over the years, many trillions of dollars. It’s one of the reasons we have deficits.”…The US is the largest financial contributor to the alliance, estimated at approximately $980 billion in 2025, accounting for 65% of its defense budget.

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/03/the_eu_at_the_narrow_passage.html
The Hormuz crisis threatens to become a catastrophe for Europeans. No region is as dependent on oil and gas supplies as Europe, while the United States can operate from a comparatively sovereign position of energy self-sufficiency…U.S. President Donald Trump has raised the question of whether it is even in America’s interest to keep this lifeline open under heightened risk — a shocking message from a European perspective, yet one that has largely passed without reaction.(because they still think/hope that Trump is bluffing/weak/will keep it open anyway because the  Stupid Uncle Sugar always has – jlr)… President Trump openly questioned on Wednesday whether the U.S. Navy should ensure the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz at all…If the energy supply collapses, the foundations of civilization crumble.

Tariff Threat Shocks U.S. Allies
https://usnewsbreak.com/tariff-threat-shocks-u-s-allies/
President Trump is warning America’s “friends” that sitting on the sidelines against Iran could come with a price tag—paid in tariffs, not apologies.

There’s a very interesting article in European Business Magazine this morning. This extensive quote explains what’s been happening:
https://europeanbusinessmagazine.com/business/how-america-replaced-lloyds-of-london-in-48-hours-and-took-control-of-the-worlds-most-critical-oil/
Iran’s attacks on Gulf shipping spiked maritime insurance rates by 400% overnight. Lloyd’s panicked. Coverage was pulled…Within 48 hours of Lloyd’s withdrawal, two things happened simultaneously. The US Navy, operating through US Naval Forces Central Command, expanded its escort operations across the Gulf — effectively offering the physical protection that insurance underwrites. And American insurers began moving to replace Lloyd’s coverage entirely, stepping into a market that British financial infrastructure had monopolised since the reign of William III.

Iran Threatens Global Tourist And Recreational Sites After U.S.-Israeli Strikes Decimate Leadership

 A wounded predator doesn’t surrender. It thrashes. It bites at anything within reach. And right now, the Islamic Republic of Iran — its supreme leader dead, its generals picked off like flies, its navy resting on the ocean floor — is thrashing harder than ever.
 “Iran’s top military spokesman warned Friday that “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” worldwide won’t be safe for Tehran’s enemies. Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi made the threat as Iran continues to be hit by American and Israeli airstrikes. It renewed concerns that Iran may revert to using militant attacks beyond the Middle East as a pressure tactic in the war.”

A new force in British politics is making waves with an uncompromising vision for national restoration. Just weeks after its launch as a full political party in February, Restore Britain has already overtaken the Conservative Party in membership numbers, reaching over 114,000 supporters and becoming the fourth largest party in the country.
Charlie Downes @cfdownes_ – https://x.com/cfdownes_/status/2033871622730313790
“We will not lie to the British people. Restoring Britain will require decisions that are controversial and unpleasant.
We are going to strip millions of healthy Brits who refuse to work of benefits. If that causes outrage from those who think the taxpayer owes them a living, so be it. We are going to deport all illegal and burdensome migrants. If that means millions go, so be it. We are going to outlaw incompatible cultural and religious practices. If that means those who refuse to integrate no longer feel welcome, so be it. We are going to execute pedophiles, rapists, and murderers if that is what the British people want. If that means we are condemned by subversive “human rights” groups, so be it. We take no pleasure in these measures. It is a damning indictment of our political class that they are necessary in the first place.”

And we didn’t tell anyone about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? OK? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor? OK? Right?”…”We had to surprise them, and we did,” the president said of Iran. “… If I go and tell everybody about it, there’s no longer a surprise.”

Censorship and repression: Proton VPN’s end of year report 2025
https://protonvpn.com/blog/eoy-report-2025
A notable trend was the increasing willingness of authoritarian governments to damage their own economies and the livelihoods of citizens by implementing total internet shutdowns…Most notable, however, was the increasing threat to internet freedom in Western democracies by-and-large considered “free.” From age verification laws introduced without considering the full ramifications to social media restrictions, to DNS server blocks, access to a free and open internet is imperilled now more than ever…1. Iran. On June 18, as the Iran–Israel War escalated, Iran imposed a near-total internet blackout that lasted three days. The government severed international connections and blocked access to websites, social media, messaging services, and foreign VPN servers. Only Iran’s domestic intranet and government-approved services remained accessible…3. Afghanistan. On September 29, citing “immorality”, the Taliban imposed a 24‑hour total internet blackout affecting roughly 30% of the population. The shutdown came after the regime began removing(new window) women‑authored books from universities and restricting girls’ education past age 12, prompting some women to turn to online learning…3. USA. In 2024, framing the measure as protection against “foreign adversary–controlled applications”, Congress passed legislation requiring TikTok to divest its US operations or face removal from app stores and US internet infrastructure.
