The cases are directed against Germany’s Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), which revoked earlier pledges by the previous federal government to allow the individuals to resettle in Germany. The total number of legal cases was revealed following a parliamentary inquiry by the Left […]

In "Historic Day For Nuclear Industry", Novel Technology Reactor Gets First Federal Permit In A Decade To Start Building In a move that's got America's energy bureaucrats finally moving at something approaching market speed, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has handed TerraPower - the Bill Gates-backed outfit pushing the Natrium advanced reactor - the first commercial nuclear construction permit issued in nearly a decade. After years of regulatory theater and the usual alphabet-soup delays, the NRC unanimously approved the permit on March 4, 2026, for the Kemmerer Power […]

How Operation Epic Fury Unfolded Authored by John Haughey via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), The Pentagon had been choreographing a prospective massive attack on Iran since 1980, but it wasn’t until December 2025 that U.S. President Donald Trump, after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, told military planners to give him that devastating option in case the fundamentalist Shia regime refused to end its uranium enrichment program. Illustration by The Epoch Times, Public Domain, Shutterstock With that request, the countdown to Operation Epic […]

Why The GOP Could Defy Precedent And Win The Midterms Historically, the party in power almost always loses seats in midterm elections. There are only two exceptions to this rule. In 1934, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, and then in 2002, under George W. Bush. Are there signs that 2026 could be another precedent-shattering year? A new Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey conducted late last month suggests it could be.  The poll has the generic congressional ballot tied at 50-50. Not only are these numbers on their face bad for the Democratic Party, but they also represent a […]

Under Beijing's Wing: Iran's Arsenal Authored by Zineb Riboua via Beyond the Ideological, In 2015, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was sold to the American public and to the world as the definitive answer to Iran’s nuclear threat. The agreement placed extensive restrictions on uranium enrichment, centrifuge capacity, and stockpile levels, but said almost nothing about the one thing that would actually deliver a nuclear warhead to its target: ballistic missiles. Nothing about cruise missiles either. No limits on the development, testing, production, or deployment […]

Tanker Hit By "Large Explosion" In Waters Off Kuwait, Causing Oil Spill In the most dramatic escalation yet involving shipping in the Persian Gulf, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a British naval authority responsible for monitoring shipping safety in high-risk areas, said it received a report that around 1040pm UTC, a "large explosion" took place on a tanker 30 nautical miles south east off Mubarak Al Kebeer, on the coast of Kuwait. "There is oil in the water coming from a cargo tank", which could have a disastrous environmental impact, especially if its […]

China-Linked Bulk Carrier Exits Strait Of Hormuz Without Incident Maritime tracking data shows a China-linked bulk carrier exiting the Strait of Hormuz without incident, a notable development that comes just hours after a report stated Tehran would permit Chinese vessels to transit the critical maritime chokepoint, despite much of the narrow waterway being paralyzed. Bloomberg data shows the bulk carrier Iron Maiden has successfully transited the narrowest part of the waterway without incident. MarineTraffic data indicates the ship has a "China Owner" and has a port call in […]

The Iran War Exposes The Farce Of American "Representative Democracy" Authored by Ryan McMaken  via MisesInstitute, The Trump administration has unilaterally—without any Congressional debate or vote, of course—forced Americans into yet another war. This time, the war is a large-scale military campaign against Iran. Was there any groundswell of public support for this war? Did the Congress vote to spend more American tax dollars on another war? Apparently not. According to a March 1 poll from Reuters, only 27 percent of Americans polled said they support the US’s new war […]

Israel Officials Get Blunt On Iran Aims: 'If We Can Have A Civil War, Great' US mainstream media is issuing one headline after another that read like they are ripped straight off the plot of Homeland or some other subpar CIA counter-terrorism series. For example, Wednesday: Israel Is Blowing Up Iran’s Police State to Clear the Way for a Revolt. In a bit of incredibly naive and wishful thinking and fantasy, WSJ writes: "Israel’s military is targeting the Iranian police state that brutally suppressed protests and killed thousands of people, with the hope of clearing the […]

Who Will Be The 2028 Democratic Presidential Nominee? California Governor Gavin Newsom has released a new memoir, "Young Man in a Hurry", in which the Democrat lays out stories from his personal and political life. From his sometimes turbulent upbringing to his 2004 act in favor of gay marriage, when he allowed over 4,000 same-sex couples to get married at San Francisco City Hall during his time as mayor long before such unions were legalized, the book details some of Newsom's successes and failures, without giving a clear roadmap of what's to come. Newsom, who is termed out […]

Will Trump Seize Or Destroy Iran's Oil Export Island? Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said earlier that the U.S. is "accelerating, not decelerating" Operation Epic Fury, with U.S. and Israeli forces conducting at least 1,000 strikes over five days against high-value IRGC assets and leadership. As those strikes have significantly degraded the IRGC's capabilities on land, at sea, and in the air, the next big question is whether Iran's energy infrastructure will become the conflict's next major focal point, especially as the Strait of Hormuz remains paralyzed and Beijing grows […]

Degraded Schools Authored by Larry Sand via American Greatness, Many students are chronically absent or have dropped out of school. Nat Malkus, a senior fellow in education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, oversees the Return to Learn Tracker, which monitors chronic absenteeism in U.S. schools. His latest report, released in early February, includes data from 39 states and Washington, D.C. He states that after reaching a high of 29 percent in the 2021–22 school year, the chronic absenteeism rate—missing 10 percent or more of school days in an academic […]

Pam Bondi Subpoenaed In Epstein Investigation By House Oversight Panel House investigators are hauling in Attorney General Pam Bondi to answer for what lawmakers say is a troubling disappearance of documents tied to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The House Oversight Committee voted 24-19 on Wednesday to subpoena Bondi for a deposition, escalating a fight with the Department of Justice over its handling of records from the sprawling Epstein investigation. Lawmakers say the DOJ may have pulled tens of thousands of pages from public view despite a federal law requiring the […]

Senate Rejects Measure Aimed at Blocking US Attacks on Iran Update (1925ET):  The Senate rejected the measure that would block Trump's ability to wage war against Iran without congressional approval.  The procedural vote over the war powers resolution, which was introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), was 47 to 53. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a bill cosponsor, was the lone Republican to support the measure. Sen.

Not all gold is created equal. The karat on a jewelry piece and the fineness on a bullion coin are measuring the same thing — but they mean something very different for investors. Here's how to read gold purity the right way before you buy.

Visualizing Iran's Vast Size & Why Any Ground Invasion Means Years-Long Quagmire Most Americans have little understanding or concept of Iran's size in terms of geography or population. The ethno-religious make-up of the sprawling Mideast/West Asian nation is also deeply important, given the US is already talking about arming and supporting some kind of Kurdish-led anti-Tehran ground operation.  Suffice it to say, Iran's population is more than double (over 90 million people) that of neighboring Iraq's. Iran is also the size of almost half the European continent. All of this […]

Trump's Venezuela Oil Plan Runs Into Hard Reality Authored by Andrew Topf via oilprice.com, Last week US President Donald Trump announced that Venezuela’s interim authorities will turn over up to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States, before later declaring his administration will control Venezuela's oil sales “indefinitely”. Decrying the state of Venezuela’s oil sector, including that the South American country now pumps a fraction of what it used to, Trump said, “We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies — the biggest anywhere […]

The 10 Most Common Medications Americans Are Taking Authored by George Citroner via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Americans are popping pills at a rate that might surprise even their doctors—and most of what they’re taking, they chose themselves. The Epoch Times/Shutterstock Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults take at least one pill each week, and one in six takes five or more, according to a recent study published in JAMA, highlighting how central medications—both over-the-counter and prescription—are to everyday health. Researchers surveyed 21,000 volunteers aged 18 […]

Article 5 Looming: NATO Shoots Down Iranian Ballistic Missile Fired At Turkey There's looming fear that Trump's Operation Epic Fury is fast spinning into a broader regional war, even a possible WW3 scenario - though large powers like Russia and China are expected to remain on the sidelines.  Illustrating this potential, on Wednesday a ballistic missile launched from Iran and tracked across Iraqi and Syrian airspace before heading toward Turkish territory was shot down by NATO air defenses, according to Turkey's Defense Ministry.

Typical US Homeowners Stay 12 Years In Their Homes - 20 Years In Los Angeles Authored by Mary Prenon via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), U.S. homeowners stayed in their houses for about 12 years as of 2025—the longest median time since 2022.

Karnage: Korea Kospi Suffers Biggest Crash In History - Is It A Buying Opportunity? Yesterday we discussed the dramatic move in Korean stocks, which saw the Kospi tumble by 7.4%, its biggest drop since the August 2024 carry trade unwind, and which put a dramatic halt to the historic meltup in the country's stock market driven almost entirely by memory (Samsung and SK Hynix) and semiconductor stocks. However, as we noted earlier this week when we pointed out the unprecedented pile up in the Korea ETF which was virtually identical to what happened in silver in January, just […]
