President Donald Trump’s blockade of Iranian ports brings a tremendous amount of air and sea power to bear against the difficult task of ensuring that no ships enter or leave Iranian ports. The blockade force currently includes three carrier battle groups, two Marine amphibious assault ships (which are essentially small aircraft carriers) and ten guided missile destroyers, plus space and undersea assets. The aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, the largest and longest-deployed carrier of the modern era, is on its way back into service after undergoing repairs from a non-combat-related fire that broke out on March 12. The carrier was…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) argued that “if you’re going to expect young men and women to sacrifice for our country, you have to also show the country and show them and their families that you have faith in America and that you’re going to make sure you’re helping people in America” with benefit spending. Klobuchar said, “Look at what he just said this week, Lawrence, he said this, he said, it’s not possible for us to take on daycare, Medicaid, and Medicare, all these individual things, they can do it on…

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) renewed airstrikes and expanded their presence in southern Lebanon last month after Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel in support of Iran.“While I appreciate every effort to bring peace through diplomacy in…

China’s communist dictator Xi Jinping received a coveted position on this year’s edition of Time magazine’s list of 100 most influential people, receiving a profile crediting him with “rewriting how the world works” that omits any mention of the ongoing Uyghur genocide. Xi, widely considered China’s most powerful dictator since Mao Zedong, has been engaging in the erasure of indigenous communities in occupied East Turkistan – via the use of slavery, forced sterilization, and the wholesale destruction of historic and religious sites – for nearly a decade. The evidence of widespread imprisonment of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other Turkic groups in concentration camps…

The Hunger Games star and Charlie’s Angels (2019) director Elizabeth Banks said “white ladies” who voted President Donald Trump should revolt like her Hunger Games character Effie Trinket. Banks revealed her thoughts while speaking on Bustle’s One Nightstand podcast, hailing her character, Effie Trinket, for having one of the “greatest” character arcs she has ever portrayed. “I think Effie, for me, is one of the characters that has the greatest arc that I’ve ever played because obviously she props up this fascist regime that she benefits from, and it’s not until she really comes to care for and see how unfair it is when they…

There are eight key indicators to watch as the US government falls deeper into the self-perpetuating debt spiral. Indicator #1: Federal Budget Deficits The chart below shows the actual and projected federal budget deficits. It’s important to note that these projections rest on the ridiculous assumption that there will be no wars, recessions, or other events that drive additional federal spending. That assumption is already out the window with the Iran war: the Pentagon has requested an additional $200 billion, for starters. Even with this rosy and unrealistic forecast, the US government is projected to run a cumulative deficit of over…

The New York Mets will once again not hold a Jewish Heritage Night celebration this season. The team’s official 2026 special events calendar is bereft of any celebration of Jewish heritage, despite playing in a town closely tied to the U.S. Jewish community, as Kevin Deutsch noted on Substack. “The shameful omission stands out in the team’s packed slate of identity-based events this season,” Deutsch wrote. “The Mets have scheduled heritage and theme nights recognizing Italian, Puerto Rican, Japanese, Korean, Irish, Dominican, and Mexican communities, along with Black Legacy and Pride celebrations. Jewish Heritage Night, a fixture on the schedule…
