Wright And Lutnick Unveil $33 Billion Gas-Fired Mega-Project In Ohio With SoftBank
SoftBank and American Energy Power Company (AEP) are launching a major new power initiative in Pike County, Ohio. The project transforms the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site into a hub for 10 GW of generation capacity, including at least 9.2 GW of natural gas-fired output dedicated to supporting up to 10 GW of data center development. Yesterday in Ohio, we broke ground on a new partnership to build more than 9 gigawatts of natural gas power generation and a data center complex that will provide thousands of jobs and result in LOWER electricity costs.

Pakistan says talks imminent: Trump’s vice president to meet Iranian officials as Israel fears concessions
US officials advance backchannel diplomacy via Pakistan as Tehran signals hardline conditions for ending the war and Israeli leaders weigh the risks of a deal that may fall short of their core demands.

Engineer Says It’s Time to Rebuild the Twin Towers With Giant Data Centers, Huge Tech Labs, and Anti-Aircraft Lasers on the Roof
After their grisly destruction in a terror attack in 2001 — and the chaotic and deadly wars that followed — it can be hard to remember that the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers, originally completed in 1973, were architecturally controversial for their impact on the Manhattan skyline. Now, a long-shot effort seeks to rebuild them in an unlikely locale: Chicago, where they’d be reborn as massive data centers.

Air Canada plane crashes into fire truck at LaGuardia Airport in New York, two dead
Eyewitness images circulating online show the plane’s nose and cockpit virtually destroyed. Both pilots have died, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) confirms. In addition, about 40 people from the plane and the ground vehicle were taken to hospitals, according to NBC News. Most of them have already been discharged, but some are reported to have serious injuries. The Air Canada plane, which was flying from Montreal, Canada, crashed into a larger vehicle, a fire and rescue truck that was reportedly on its way to a separate incident when it collided with the aircraft.

Trump refrains from attacks after talks with Iran
After contacts with Iran, the United States will refrain from attacks on Iranian energy targets for five days, President Donald Trump announced. Iran denied that any negotiations were taking place, but Israeli media reported that Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan were mediating between Washington and Tehran. The president told CNN that the countries are discussing a 15-point agreement, including a clause that Iran should not have nuclear weapons.

Sources: Mojtaba Khamenei injured and isolated
Iran’s new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is injured, isolated and not responding to messages, according to sources who spoke to The Washington Post. Khamenei the Younger, whose father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed on the first day of the war, has not been seen in public since he was appointed the new supreme leader. American and Israeli officials told The Washington Post that Mojtaba Khamenei is “injured, isolated and not responding to messages forwarded to him.”

Takaichi weathers Trump, but China challenges linger
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has largely been praised for her handling of U.S. President Donald Trump during her first visit to Washington as Japanese leader. But a raft of challenges remain — namely improving Japan’s relationship with China and convincing Trump not to make a deal with Beijing that leaves Tokyo in the lurch.

Kirk’s private texts and a chain of betrayal: what a rabbi revealed on live radio
According to Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, we now know exactly how those messages ended up in the hands of podcaster Candace Owens. The person at the center of the leak is Joe Kent, Trump’s former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who recently resigned over his insistence that Iran posed no threat to the US and that Israel manipulated the US president into attacking the Islamist regime. “The way that those screenshots got to Candace is via Joe Kent…Andrew Kolvet, who’s, you know, it was Charlie’s number two guy who now hosts the show. … he admitted … We didn’t know how Candace got them, but then he admitted on the air, on his show, that he had given these text messages…to someone in the government.” Kent is already under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified information during his tenure.

Trump Admin Strikes Deal With Energy Firm To Nix Offshore Wind Plans
A global energy corporation based in France has ceded leases off North Carolina and New York where it planned to spend nearly $1 billion to build offshore wind turbines back to the U.S. Department of Interior and will instead redirect that investment into natural gas projects in Texas. Burgum said much of TotalEnergies’ offshore wind investments were tied to Biden-era “green energy” subsidies rather than in direct power generation, forcing American taxpayers “to pay for energy sources twice. They were paying for it in terms of high utility bills, but they were all paying for it in terms of the taxpayer subsidies.”

FCC Bans Foreign-Made Wireless Routers
The decision, announced today, follows a White House-convened inter-agency review that determined these devices – primarily those manufactured overseas – pose unacceptable threats to US households, critical infrastructure, and the economy. Major brands like TP-Link (which holds a dominant share of the U.S. market), Netgear, Google Nest, Amazon Eero, Cisco, Linksys, and Asus produce most models abroad, often in China, which controls an estimated 60% of the U.S. home router market. The FCC highlighted how malicious state and non-state actors have exploited vulnerabilities in foreign-made routers for cyberattacks on American civilians, including espionage, network disruptions, intellectual property theft, and incidents linked to groups like Volt Typhoon and Salt Typhoon. The ban applies only to new models manufactured outside the U.S., regardless of the company’s nationality, but does not affect routers already imported or in use.

FBI Misled Court To Spy On Second Trump Campaign Adviser
Carter Page wasn’t the only adviser from Trump’s first campaign wiretapped by the FBI. Walid Phares was electronically monitored for a 12-month period between 2017 and 2018, according to the Washington-based FBI agent who was assigned to investigate him as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion probe. As in Page’s case, the bureau withheld evidence exonerating Phares from the court to secure surveillance authorization, according to newly declassified FBI documents.
“I had no idea any of this was happening,” Phares told RealClearInvestigations in an exclusive interview Wednesday night. “This is shocking because they told my lawyer that I was only a ‘witness’ and that they just needed some information.”

Filing Claims Colombian Journalist Arrested by ICE in Nashville Obtained REAL ID Despite
Tennessee Blocking Driver’s Licenses for Illegal Aliens
A status update submitted to a federal court last Friday claimed the Colombian journalist arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) earlier this month, Estefany Rodriguez Flores, has been issued a REAL ID, even though Tennessee law prohibits illegal aliens from obtaining a driver’s license.

The Supreme Court appears poised to STRIKE DOWN state laws allowing the mass acceptance of mail-in ballots after election day
The Supreme Court appears poised to STRIKE DOWN state laws allowing the mass acceptance of mail-in ballots after election day, following oral arguments — AP It could affect several DOZEN states. Justice Sam Alito delivered a MASTERCLASS in precisely why we have an election DAY, not “week” or “month” “We have LOTS of phrases that involve two words, the last of which, the second of which is DAY. Labor DAY, Memorial DAY, George Washington’s birthDAY, Independence DAY, birth DAY, and election DAY!” “And they’re all particular DAYS.” “So if we start with that, if I have nothing more to look at than the phrase election day, I think this is the DAY in which everything is going to take place, or almost everything.”

Record heat spreads east as over 200 record highs are forecast across the U.S.
Record heat is forecast to persist across parts of the western and central United States through March 25.

Iran Claims That It Will Soon Use a New Secret Weapon Which Will Win the War
The Iranians don’t seem to have gotten the memo. President Trump may have decided it’s time to sit down and make a deal, but Iran continues to launch missiles at Israeli cities and is threatening to use a new secret weapon. They’re not telling us what this weapon is, but Iranian Major General Aliabadi claims it’s so powerful it “will bring an end to the enemy’s operations.”

Has a Global Catastrophe Been Averted, Or Is This Just a Very Temporary Reprieve?
For the moment, we’ve avoided a global economic cataclysm. President Trump was threatening to completely destroy Iran’s power grid if it didn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and in response, Iran was threatening to destroy oil and gas infrastructure all over the Middle East. Once that infrastructure is gone, it would have to be replaced, and that would take years.

UK and EU’s ETS is a dishonest tax on electricity 
Variants of the UK’s Emission Trading scheme (“ETS”), a carbon emission pricing scheme, have been adopted by many countries, including European countries, even though it is fundamentally flawed. The EU-ETS and now the UK-ETS are simply a shambolic and dishonest tax on electricity use, Gordon Hughes writes.

Exorcist Fr. Ripperger REVEALS demonic infiltration in Vatican
Exorcist Father Ripperger reveals demonic infiltration in the Catholic Church “goes very high up.” He shared in a recent interview that the problems in today’s world stem from those in the Church.

Iran threatens to ‘completely close’ Hormuz Strait, Israel strikes Lebanon bridges
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Sunday threatened to completely close the Strait of Hormuz if US President Donald Trump makes good on his promise to target Iranian energy facilities unless the key transport route is fully reopened within 48 hours. Meanwhile, Israel continued its strikes on Lebanon, destroying a major bridge linking the south to the rest of the country. Follow our liveblog for all the latest updates.

Gas explosion in Istanbul – two buildings destroyed
Search and rescue personnel were quickly dispatched to the scene after the explosion, which occurred at lunchtime on Sunday. One person has died in the accident. About ten people were injured in the explosion and taken to hospital, according to a statement from Istanbul Governor Davut Gül’s office. It is unclear what caused the explosion.

Iran and Hezbollah Open Multi-Front Assault on Israel’s Cities
Sirens sounded in southern Israel on Shabbat as Iranian ballistic missiles slammed into the cities of Dimona and Arad, leaving nearly 200 Israelis wounded. The explosions struck residential areas directly. A 12-year-old boy in Dimona was hit by shrapnel before reaching shelter. In Arad, a 5-year-old girl was among those seriously injured after a missile carrying hundreds of kilograms of explosives landed between apartment buildings.

Iran Vows to Kill Netanyahu — and Threatens Trump Too
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spent the weekend spreading lies about Benjamin Netanyahu’s death while simultaneously threatening to finish the job for real. The IRGC’s mouthpiece, Sepah News, published a statement Sunday declaring that Iranian forces “will continue to pursue and kill” the Israeli prime minister “with full force” — then hedged with the darkly absurd qualifier: “if this child-killing criminal is alive.” The question hanging over the Middle East is whether Iran’s escalating threats and propaganda campaign reflect genuine military confidence — or the desperation of a regime that assassinated its own Supreme Leader’s successor narrative along with Ali Khamenei himself on Feb. 28.

New Study Reveals 28 More Mysterious “Gilgal Refaim” in Golan
The Hebrew Gilgal Refaim — Wheel of the Refaim — carries enormous weight in Scripture. The Refaim were a race of giants who inhabited Canaan before the Israelites arrived. Og, the king of Bashan — the very region where Gilgal Refaim stands — is described in Deuteronomy as the last survivor of this race: “Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Refaim. His bedstead, an iron bedstead, is now in Rabbah of the Ammonites; it is nine amot long and four amot wide, by the standard amah.” If a nation of such giants once dominated the Golan — building massive stone structures across a 25-kilometer radius — the archaeological record now being uncovered through satellite imagery fits that biblical picture with startling precision. A single monument built by an unknown people is a curiosity. Twenty-eight such monuments concentrated in one region are the signature of a civilization.

The Sages Called It: How a 1,500-Year-Old Prophecy Maps Onto the Iran War in Real Time
When Israeli and American aircraft struck Iranian targets in what became known as Mivtza Sha’agat HaAri — Operation Roaring Lion — the strike came at a moment that stopped Torah scholars in their tracks. It was the 11th of Adar, the first date on the Jewish calendar when the Megilla can be read under certain circumstances. More striking still, synagogues across Israel were reading Parashat Zachor — the Torah portion commanding Israel to wipe out the memory of Amalek. And as the bombs fell, the very words of the reading hung in the air: Blotting out the enemies of Israel. From aircraft. In the skies. The timing was not lost on anyone paying attention. He also points to a striking numerical convergence: the gematria — numerical value — of Mivtza Sha’agat HaAri (מבצע שאגת הארי) equals 1122. The gematria of Purim Tav-Shin-Peh-Vav (פורים תשפ”ו) — Purim 5786 — also equals 1122. “The days of your redemption have arrived.”

Iran demonstrates 4,000-kilometer missile range, expanding reach beyond previous limits
Iran has significantly expanded its missile capabilities, demonstrating a strike range of approximately 4,000 kilometers (2485 miles) in a recent launch assessed to have used a multi-stage, satellite-type propulsion system, former IDF air defense chief Brig.-Gen. Ran Kochav told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday. The launch, which targeted the joint UK-US base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, exceeded Tehran’s previously declared range of about 2,000 kilometers.

Israel believes Iranian regime likely to collapse after the war

Arad Mayor to Arutz Sheva: The Prime Minister was stunned by the miracle
“I showed the Prime Minister the impact site and the massive damage caused to numerous buildings – significant damage to four structures and secondary but still substantial damage to another 10-12 buildings within a 500-meter radius of the impact point. Shattered glass, broken doors, and damage to building facades,” Maayan recounted. He also highlighted the Prime Minister’s astonishment at the miracle that occurred when the missile struck an open area between the buildings rather than hitting one directly. Maayan conveyed firmly to the Prime Minister was resolute: “Continue your operations in Iran – we’re holding the home front strong. Keep doing your job until the war ends.”

Old bombs discovered in forgotten bunker now being used on Iran
The IDF recently uncovered an old bunker and made a surprising find: thousands of old bombs. According to a report by Kan News on Sunday, the bombs that were found in the long-forgotten bunker were over 50 years old and were originally intended to be used against Egyptian military bases before the 1979 peace agreement. The munitions, albeit old and unguided, have not gone to waste. According to the report, they are currently being put to good use in Israel’s campaign against Iran by being dropped on regime military bases in areas that are not near population centers.

Trump, Starmer agree reopening Strait of Hormuz is essential to stabilize global energy market

Netanyahu in Arad: Iran Has ‘Capacity to Reach Deep into Europe’
i24 News – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking Sunday at the site of a missile strike in Arad, said recent Iranian attacks demonstrate that Tehran poses a threat not only to Israel but to global security, urging stronger international action against the Islamic Republic. “If you want proof that Iran endangers the entire world, the last 48 hours have given it,” Netanyahu said, referring to recent missile fire on Israeli civilian areas. He said the intent behind the strikes was “to murder civilians,” adding that the lack of fatalities in Arad was “due to luck, not their intention.”

Iran war undermines Turkey’s regional ambitions
Ankara has long demonstrated skill in leveraging regional crises to advance its national interests. However, since the launch of “Operation Roaring Lion” on Feb. 28, Turkey finds itself largely sidelined, attempting to maintain a fragile neutrality while managing mounting strategic costs. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan underscored Ankara’s cautious approach, stating that although Turkey is militarily prepared, “our primary objective is not to get into this war.” Despite this position, the conflict is exacerbating Turkey’s vulnerabilities across multiple fronts, including economic stability, border security, relations with Washington and regional influence. Ankara views the war as “the realization of some of its worst strategic scenarios.”
