Why the United States Temporarily Eased Sanctions on Iranian Oil
In a surprising and strategically calculated move, the United States recently decided to temporarily ease sanctions on Iranian oil exports. This decision comes at a time when global energy markets are under immense pressure due to escalating tensions around the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints for oil transportation. The move, though limited in scope and duration, reflects the complex balance between geopolitical strategy and economic necessity.

Trump: Considering Occupying Kharg Island.
When Israel and the US decided on 28 February to take military action against Iran, they were in for a shock, or so it seems. The policy of decapitation of enemy leadership has always been Israel's policy. Countless leaders that Israel regards as enemies have been assassinated in this way. Whether from Mossad, the IDF, the Israeli Air Force, whatever. The US, of late, has also adopted this policy. The reasoning being that killing the leaders of an enemy organisation or country will cut off the head of the snake. The problem with that is the snake grows another head. When Israel killed Hezbollah Chief Hasan Nasrallah, yes, it shook the group to its very foundations. But the group under a new leadership is battling Israel in Lebanon now as we speak.

Zack Polanski Says Starmer Should Help Bill Payers.
As Zack Polanski rightly says, he is one of several Jews in history, either practising, non-practising, or Christian converts, as in Disraeli's case, to hold prominent political office in the UK. Zack Polanski was elected to the London City Hall and hopes to take his place as an MP. Of course, the ultimate goal for any political leader is to become Prime Minister. Going back to Benjamin Disraeli in the 1800s, he was the first Jewish prime minister, although some would argue he ceased to be Jewish as he was by faith a Christian. Whether Zack Polanski, as an Eastern European Jewish descendant, will rise to the same heights will remain to be seen.

IS Russia Winning Ukraine War?
For much of the conflict, Europe framed Ukraine’s struggle as a clear case of resistance against Russian aggression. The narrative was straightforward: Ukraine was defending sovereignty, and Europe stood firmly behind it. However, by 2026, the situation has evolved into something far more complex. The war is no longer just about Ukraine—it has become a broader strategic test for Europe itself. At the center of this test lies what analysts are calling the “Trump Conundrum.”

Kharg Island Bombed: Trump.
Trump's postings on his social media network, Truth Social, can be flamboyant, over-the-top, dramatic, theatrical, and, dare I say, economical with the truth, making things seem bigger or better than they actually are. Not surprising from a man who thinks all eyes should be on him.

The Forsyth House Fire . Top Story - March 2026.
Since 1851, Forsyth House has stood on the corner of Union Street and Gordon Street in the heart of Glasgow. Its iconic, or was... because on Sunday 8th of March, 2026, a fire broke out in a small, seemingly un-named shop in the building and tore all that history down. As I write, the rubble is still unsettled and the street is still blocked off. Central Station is quiet on the upper level, and around 30 small businesses have quite literally gone up in smoke.

WHY ARAB STATES BEING TARGETED?
It is absolutely clear that they will go after every country that threatens Israel or is considered an existential or security threat to it. The agenda of Washington, D.C. is very clear: they will target every country that threatens Israel, and either destroy it through carpet bombing or erase it, just as they did with Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp Leads Charge on Starmer's Iran War Stance.
The Iran War has to be one of the most dangerous and unnecessary wars this century so far. Trump has changed the narrative of why he and his partner in crime, Netanyahu, attacked Iran. First, it was to liberate the Iranian people. Then Iran's support for Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, etc. Then it's Iran enriching uranium and its ballistic missile programme. Since the war began, the Ayatollah Khamenei has been assassinated along with top military commanders. His son is now the new Ayatollah. A girl's school has been bombed, with 100 or so schoolgirls sent to Allah. Iran's infrastructure has been hit hard, as has its military and government. If they bombed the Founder of the Islamic Republic's mausoleum, Ayatollah Khomeini, it wouldn't surprise me. It seems the Americans and Israelis are hitting anything and everything across Iran. Similar to the levelling of Gaza by the IDF. Hundreds of Iranians have been killed and injured, civilian and military alike.

Congress. An entity of our government that is supposed to be working for us, is just a money laundering criminal endeavor. If you aren't paying attention to what our government does, then you are part of the problem.Money laundering is a crime, and we are funding it.
