Posted By: Mercedes44, 3/14/2026 6:30:29 AM
The process of Syria’s radical Islamization and the vulnerability of Christians is ongoing at full speed. Jihadist indoctrination now starts at a very early age, including at kindergartens. Six-year-old girls at “Dar Al-Wahy” school in the city of Homs were recently recorded chanting during their morning assembly, “Welcome to death for the sake of Allah!”The X account Greco-Levantines Worldwide reported on 17 February:Since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, jihadist Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led forces have largely controlled Syria. This is an Islamic terrorist group with roots in Al-Qaeda and ISIS (Islamic State).

The Open Society Foundations (OSF), established by Hungarian investor George Soros and now led by his son, Alex Soros, has donated vast sums from its $23 billion (£17.2 billion) endowment to progressive causes.
The foundation has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups seeking to claim reparations from Britain for slavery and colonialism.
The OSF helped to found a joint Caribbean and African campaign, and supported organisations that are now considering international litigation that could heap pressure on the British Government.
Democrats are fighting over a rare Senate opening in Illinois, with Tuesday’s party primary likely to decide the deep-blue state’s next senator.
At the top of the 10-candidate field, Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi and Robin Kelly and Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton are blitzing ads, exchanging jabs and drawing support from national figures as they barrel toward the March 17 showdown. And Gov. JB Pritzker (D), who’s backing Stratton, looms large.The winner will be all but assured to succeed Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), whose decision to retire after five terms set off a high-stakes scramble in Prairie State politics.
Formula 1 has called off Grand Prix races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia next month due to the ongoing conflict with Iran, the sport and its governing body confirmed on Saturday.
Officials announced the decision in a statement ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, noting it was made after “careful evaluations” and in consultation with the FIA and race promoters in the respective countries.

During an interview with MS NOW on Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded to claims that he told the U.S. that Iran had enough uranium to make multiple nuclear weapons by saying that he did say they had enough material that, if enriched further, could make ten nuclear weapons, but claiming that this was actually just trying to convey how big of a concession Iran was willing to make and not making a threat.Araghchi said, “I never said that we are going to make the bombs.
Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick says he has traded California for Texas, joining a growing list of billionaires abandoning the state as lefty lawmakers push for a one-off tax their wealth.
Appearing on TPBN to discuss his robotics startup Atoms, Kalanick told hosts John Coogan and Jordi Hays he relocated to Austin on December 18.
California lawmakers and activists are currently pushing a proposed 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, which could appear on the state’s November 2026 ballot.

Unfortunately, in its first major antitrust action after the departure of Gail Slater—the tough-on-monopoly head of the Antitrust Division—Justice Department lawyers appear to have retreated to the same weak settlement approach that frustrated conservatives for years.
The DOJ’s bipartisan lawsuit against Live Nation (also Ticketmaster’s owner), which 39 states and the District of Columbia signed onto, was a golden opportunity. Everybody hates inflated ticket prices and the ridiculous junk fees that accompany them, but we’re stuck paying them because Live Nation is pretty much the only game in town.
This is not an overnight development that just happened in the past two weeks, after the Trump administration and Israel launched attacks on Iran.
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.A news site called Justice In Conflict reported in January that “in 2021, a Tehran police chief was spotted at a Toronto-area gym. In 2024, it was reported that 700 Iranian nationals linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) resided in Canada –
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. In the town of Morón in the Ciego de Ávila province, the demonstrators brought their A-game. They stormed the Communist Party of Cuba headquarters in that town and set it on fire. There are multiple videos on X. In some,
Throughout his four years in office, Joe Biden fought for gun control laws. On what seemed like a weekly basis he implored Congress to ban commonly owned firearms, arguing that nobody needs an AR-15 to go deer hunting and falsely asserting that Americans couldn't own cannons at the time of the Founding. Even as Biden cracked down on legal gun owners, he and his Department of Justice were busy cutting criminals a break. Biden, of course, pardoned his son Hunter after he was convicted for lying about his drug use on a federal form when purchasing a firearm,
Watching the Florida legislature make statutory sausage has been an exercise in frustration for Second Amendment advocates in recent years as Senate leadership has stymied attempts to repeal bans on gun sales to adults under the age of 21, the state's "red flag" law, and pro-2A bills allowing for open carry and lawful carry on college and university campuses.Florida is now an open carry state thanks to the courts, not lawmakers, but the legislature did take a small step towards campus carry legislation this week when the Senate signed off on HB 757,
The economy unexpectedly flatlined in January ahead of the war in Iran, with the lack of signs of growth stoking fears of recession and another cost-of-living crisis. The Mail has more.
In January, the economy recorded zero growth, according to figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Most economists had expected growth of 0.2%.
It underscores the economy’s fragility even before the outbreak of the Iran conflict, which has triggered an energy shock likely to raise inflation.The prospect of another energy crisis has stoked fears that the UK will fall into a period of stagflation – the combination of higher inflation and unemployment,
Hundreds of convicted criminals are being deported to Britain under Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal migrants and the UK is unprepared for the influx, campaigners have warned. The Telegraph has more.
Prisoner welfare campaigners have warned that UK Government agencies have done little to prepare for convicts and migrants being sent back, with many at risk of ending up homeless or turning to crime.
Figures obtained by the Telegraph have revealed that the number of people flown back to the UK by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials has doubled since Trump took office for the second time last year.

Tucker Carlson has announced the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been monitoring his contacts with people within Iran and is potentially referring the issue to Dept of Justice (DOJ) officials for criminal review.
According to his previous self-admissions, Carlson was strongly against the Trump administration taking military action toward Iran and had travelled to the White House to express that opinion to President Trump. If the CIA was monitoring his contact with officials within Iran, this should NOT come as a surprise.
Given the nature of the conflict both before (during negotiations) and after the military hostilities began (operation epic fury), it would be negligent if the Intelligence Community was not

The Obama Foundation is looking for 100 unpaid volunteers to work alongside the former president’s highly paid cronies at the $850 million Obama Presidential Center in Chicago when it opens in June.
Officials are pitching the no-paycheck gigs as rooted in former President Barack Obama’s legacy of civic engagement.
The recruitment campaign comes after Fox News Digital reported that the organization’s CEO, former top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, was paid $740,000 in 2024.
Foundation officials told Fox News Digital the volunteers will complement about 300 full- and part-time employees at the long-delayed center, which the organization is promoting as a $3.1 billion economic catalyst for the Windy City’s South Side.
Travelers nationwide are dealing with lengthy security line backups at airports due to the partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and, in turn, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). As the shutdown continues, the TSA is increasingly facing staffing shortages that have led to long lines at airport security checkpoints. Unfortunately, it sounds like those staffing issues are only getting worse. “Travelers are facing TSA lines of up to nearly three hours long at some major airports, causing missed flights and massive delays during peak travel,” the DHS said in a statement.

This is no laughing matter. A whopping 94% of the jokes delivered by late-night hosts during the first week of Operation Epic Fury slammed the United States and its allies instead of Iran (snip) according to (snip) MRC Newsbusters. The group's analysts examined 20 episodes of ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," CBS's "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," and NBC's "Late Night With Seth Meyers" and "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" from March 2-5 and found 235 of the 250 jokes (snip) were launched at the U.S., Israel and other Arab nations forced to take defensive action against Iranian attacks.
Electric vehicles are probably the vehicle of the future, but they are not the vehicle of the present. Let’s look at the numbers.
An EV uses about six cents of electricity to go a mile. That’s if you charge it at home with inexpensive residential electricity rates. It’s more if you use a charging station, and it’s more if it’s a large vehicle like a Rivian. And by the way, be prepared to leave it plugged in for several hours to get it charged.
Gasoline-powered cars use about thirteen cents of gasoline to go a mile, assuming gas is something over $3/gallon and you get something like 25 mpg.
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., is calling out America’s broken legal immigration system following two terrorist attacks by naturalized U.S. citizens from the Third World.
The moment came on Thursday when the Show Me State’s junior senator joined Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle to discuss the ongoing Democrat-led shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).Schmitt blasted the Democrats’ open border policies and espoused support for the Trump administration’s closing of the U.S.-Mexico border and deportation of illegal aliens. He also notably took the time to address the need to reform the country’s legal immigration system.

We’ve grown used to the media’s joining with the Democrats to attack every move by the President, but it is still something to watch the lies and distortions about the war in Iran where the press smears the troops in the middle of battle. Using the latest technology and working closely with the IDF and IAF, our military has achieved the most remarkable, unpredicted achievements in a matter of days. On the other hand, most major media coverage denigrates this accomplishment and regrettably advocates for our enemies.
State legislators recently pelted Greg Lucas, the leader of the California State Library, with questions about the funds during a budget hearing on education, the New York Post reported on Friday.The issue is connected to a foundation started by Parton called Imagination Library, which delivers free books to children. The program was set to be statewide in California in 2023, according to WJHL.
The outlet noted Parton created her library in 1995 to provide free books in her home county in east Tennessee.During the hearing, state Sen. Shannon Grove (R) told Lucas he did not have documentation to show where the money went.
The State Department has cut the fee Americans must pay to renounce their U.S. citizenship by roughly 80%, lowering the cost from $2,350 to $450 under a new rule that took effect Friday.
The new fee, first announced in 2023 but not previously implemented, returns the cost to the same level the government charged when it first began requiring payment for citizenship renunciations in 2010. The State Department said in the rule that it lowered the fee as a policy decision to reduce the cost burden on people seeking a Certificate of Loss of Nationality, the document issued after someone formally renounces U.S. citizenship before a diplomatic or consular officer abroad.
Late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was wary about his son Mojtaba succeeding him because he was not perceived as being particularly intelligent, according a new report. CBS News detailed that Khamenei was also aware of issues in Mojtaba's personal life. However, the outlet added, Trump told people close to him that information conveyed to him about the new supreme leader doesn't matter. He believes the country is operating without a leader and Khamenei could be dead.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that Khamenei is wounded and likely disfigured. Moreover, a report by British outlet The Sun claimed that the man is in a coma and lost a leg
