Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told MS Now on Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz is open to all countries except for the US and Israel, following threats from President Trump to form a coalition to send warships to the Strait and ensure the safe passage of oil. 
This comes after the US executed the “most powerful bombing raids” in the history of the Middle East on Iran’s critical oil hub of Kharg Island in response to Iran’s threats and targeting of ships in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil arteries.
Aragchi told MSNow’s Ayman Mohyeldin that Iran plans to attack American energy infrastructure if the US targets its oil and energy infrastructure. He further threatened neighboring Gulf countries, from which missiles are being launched. Trump has threatened to attack Iran’s energy infrastructure but suggested he is saving those targets “for later.”
Meanwhile, Israel has attacked Iranian oil depots, leading to shock from American officials. War Secretary Pete Hegseth recently told reporters that Israel was pursuing “different objectives” in this attack.
When asked about the Strait of Hormuz’s closure, Aragchi denied that it was ever closed, stating, “It is only closed to the tankers and ships belong to the– to our enemies, to those who are attacking us and their allies.”
“the Strait is not closed, but it is only closed to America and Israeli, you know, ships and tankers and not to others,” he added.
WATCH:
Mohyeldin: Let me start by asking you about what has happened on Kharg Island, and what is Iran’s response to these strikes?
Araghchi: Well, thank you so much for having me. I think our armed forces have already answered that they would retaliate if our oil and energy infrastructure are attacked, and they will attack any energy infrastructure in the region, which belongs to an American company or an American American company is a shareholder. So, the reaction would be clear. Last night, they have attacked Kharg Island and Abu Musa Island with, you know, the Artillery Rocket System, Himars, as they call it, which is a low range rockets, and they have done it from the soil of our neighbors. And this is crystal clear that now they are using the territory of our neighbors to attack us by this kind of, you know, rockets.
Mohyeldin: Which neighbors?
Araghchi: Well, the last night attacks were tracked by our forces, and now it is clear that they are fired from UAE, from two locations in the in the UAE, from in Ras Al Khaimah and from a location very close to the city of Dubai, and it is very, you know, dangerous that they use highly populated areas to launch, you know, rockets against us. We will certainly retaliate, but it would, but we try to be careful not to attack any populated area.
Mohyeldin: Is there any sign that Iran is prepared to allow passage of the Straits of Hormuz? Will the Straits of Hormuz remain closed so long as this war continues?
Araghchi: Well, as a matter of fact, the Strait of Hormuz is open. It is only closed to the tankers and ships belong to the to our enemies, to those who are attacking us and their allies. Others are free to pass. Of course, many of them prefer not because of their, you know, security concerns. This has nothing to do with us. And at the same time, there are many tankers and ships who are passing through the Strait of Hormuz. And I can say that the Strait is not closed, but it is only closed to America and Israeli, you know, ships and tankers and not to others.

Trump on Saturday said the US has “beaten and completely decimated Iran, both Militarily, Economically, and in every other way” and called for countries affected by the Strait’s closure to send additional warships to ensure the safe passage of ships and oil tankers.
“In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE!” Trump added.

They’re tiny, invisible, and everywhere. Microplastics have quietly made their way into every corner of our environment—and every corner of the human body.
Researchers now detect them in the blood, liver, lungs, and even the brain, showing just how far these synthetic fragments can travel. Studies estimate that the average person consumes between 39,000 and 52,000 plastic particles each year through food and water, and up to 121,000 when air exposure is included.
Once inside, they don’t just pass through. They disrupt the gut barrier, trigger chronic inflammation, and alter the delicate balance of your microbiome—the ecosystem that shapes everything from digestion to immunity. Over time, that silent damage can ripple through every organ system.
A review of recent studies by Nicholas Hulscher of the McCullough Foundation, shows just how dangerous microplastics can be to our health.
Hulscher notes that studies have shown that microplastics have been linked to increasing rates of dementia and cancer, as well as harm to the reproductive, digestive and raspatory systems.
Hulscher concludes:

These findings suggest that MNPs may present a serious risk to human health. Their growing presence in both the environment and the human body, along with emerging evidence of their toxicity, raises significant concerns. Action is needed to advance technologies and pharmaceutical interventions capable of safely and effectively removing MNPs from both ecosystems and biological systems.

A NATURAL SOLUTION TO AN UNNATURAL ENEMY
The good news is that, once again, Dr. McCullough and the medical experts at The Wellness Company are leading the way, especially where big pharma has failed.
Even better, while plastic pollution may be man-made, nature offers the antidote. Certain probiotic strains can actually bind to microplastics, carry them out of your system, and help repair the gut from the inside out.

Saccharomyces boulardii – The Microplastic Catcher
This powerful probiotic yeast grabs onto microplastics the same way it traps harmful bacteria—so your body can flush them out naturally. It also helps calm inflammation in the gut and supports a healthier, stronger intestinal lining.

Bifidobacterium longum – The Barrier Builder
Think of this strain as reinforcement for your gut wall. It strengthens the “tight junctions” that keep your intestinal barrier sealed, reduces irritation, and promotes the production of beneficial fatty acids that help your gut stay balanced and resilient.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG – The Detox Specialist
This clinically studied probiotic helps your body eliminate plastics more quickly while protecting both your gut and liver from their toxic effects. It helps lower oxidative stress, supports detox pathways, and maintains the protective barrier between your gut and bloodstream.

There is a natural solution to this incredibly dangerous side-effect of modern life, but how do you get these natural solutions? That’s where The Wellness Company comes in. The same medical professionals who you have trusted since the pandemic – folks like Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Kelly Victory – have created a product called PlasDetox.

James Talarico / Screenshot on CBS
The liberal media uses terms like ‘Republicans seize’ and ‘Republicans pounce’ so often that they have become a running gag among conservatives.
In this case, the liberal Washington Post is complaining because Republicans are ‘painting’ James Talarico as a radical. Talarico is the left wing nut who Democrats have nominated for a U.S. Senate seat in Texas.
All Republicans are doing is sharing videos of Talarico speaking in his own words. It is not the fault of conservatives that Talarico believes that God is nonbinary or that displaying the Ten Commandments in schools is violence. These are his positions in his words.
Quoting his own words is painting him as a radical? Whatever.
From the Washington Post:
GOP, fearing tough fight for Texas Senate seat, paints Democrat as radical
Fearing a tougher-than-expected race for one of Texas’s two Senate seats, Republicans are trying to cast Democratic candidate James Talarico as a radical leftist out of step with voters.
They have resurfaced videos of Talarico’s past comments, including one in which the state representative declares that “God is nonbinary.” His two potential GOP opponents — who are headed to a bitter runoff in May — have shared sound bites of Talarico speaking on border security and attacked him for supporting trans rights.
National Republicans ratcheted up their attacks this week with a digital ad that shows an artificial-intelligence-generated Talarico reading similar, years-old social media posts about pronouns and “radicalized white men.”
The torrent of videos Republicans are resurfacing across social media points to how they will try to erode that image and paint Talarico as something very different: a liberal wolf in Christian sheep’s clothing.
“James Talarico thinks ‘God is nonbinary’ and wants to lay a welcome mat on our southern border,” said Samantha Cantrell, a spokeswoman for Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, which made the AI-generated ad and has shared other video clips. “He is radically out of touch with Texans, and they will not vote for this in November.”
Talarico has not directly addressed his past comments but instead said the attacks are part of a well-worn Republican playbook.
James Talarico said in an interview that he loves trans kids. Is that Republicans painting him as radical or is he doing that all on his own?

Actor and musician Luke Grimes, one of the stars of the hit series ‘Yellowstone’ decided to move to the state of Montana after filming some scenes for the show there.
During a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, Grimes revealed that locals in Montana are not happy about the idea of people moving there from liberal California.
This is something we saw happening during Covid-19. Blue states were shutting down completely, so liberals from places like California started moving to red states like Idaho and Montana because they wanted more freedom, but the people who have lived in those states all along did not want the blue state refugees.
It’s completely understandable. Conservatives living in Montana know that California liberals are going to bring their voting habits with them.
FOX News reports:
Luke Grimes, best known for his role as Kayce Dutton in “Yellowstone” and its spinoff, “Marshals,” is facing unexpected backlash after leaving Hollywood behind for life in Montana.
The actor told Joe Rogan that moving to the Big Sky State hasn’t always been smooth sailing, and his move from Los Angeles has sparked unexpected fury among locals.
“Well, your show made a lot of f—ing people move out there, though,” Rogan pointed out during his podcast.
“That’s true. Yeah. And they’re not happy about it,” Grimes admitted. “The valley that I live in, we had some people come visit us. Our friends from California drove out, and we went on a hike, and we were in their car. And they had, you know, Cali plates.
“We get off the hike, and someone had written ‘go back’ in the dust on their car. Like, people are super weird about it, so I don’t tell anyone exactly where I’m at because they would get really mad at me.”…
“I can’t go to bars there anymore because whatever that one idiot is, is at the bar, and he can’t wait to start a fight with me. Just like can’t wait to do it because it’s like a win-win for him, you know? He gets to sue me or something. I don’t know, but it’s a lose-lose for me,” Grimes said.
This video is cued to start at the 36:32 mark, so just press play:

It doesn’t take much to flip a state over time. New Hampshire was a red state back in the day. In the 1980s, people in Massachusetts started moving there to get away from high taxes. Now New Hampshire is a blue state.

Former CNN host Don Lemon was recently speaking at an event where he suggested that CNN should not even bother trying to be more centrist because people on the right will never watch a ‘factual news organization.’
Every once in a while people like Lemon reveal just how utterly delusional they really are. It is amazing that he was able to say this with a straight face.
Calling CNN factual is like calling MSNOW conservative. It’s just a straight-up denial of reality.
The only person on CNN who ever tells the truth is Scott Jennings, and if he had his own show in primetime, there are people on the right who would watch it. In fact, it’d probably be their top rated show.
Mediaite has details:
Ex-CNN star Don Lemon said soon-to-be CNN owner David Ellison is crazy to believe the cable news channel can win more viewers by covering stories from a centrist or right-of-center viewpoint, with Lemon saying MAGA voters are not interested in watching a “factual news network.”
He shared his take on CNN’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery being bought by Paramount Skydance and what it means for his old channel during an interview with Bulwark podcast host Tim Miller on Saturday. The interview was part of the fifth annual New Orleans Book Festival at Tulane University.
Lemon said he was talking to frequent CNN guest and Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary recently about CNN changing its slant. O’Leary said CNN needs to “come to the middle” to win viewers, according to Lemon — and Lemon let him know that idea is foolish.
“You’re out of your mind, that’s never going to happen, are you crazy?” he said. “Those folks are never ever going to watch CNN and they’re never going to watch any network that’s a factual news network.”
Here’s the video:

Don Lemon: Making CNN less lefty won’t work, because the viewers they’d be trying to get aren’t interested in facts.
“Those folks are never going to watch any network that is a factual news organization.”
This was said today. After the week CNN had.

Like so many people on the left, Don Lemon is simply not operating in reality. He lives in a fantasy world where CNN is factual and balanced, all Republicans are fascists, and Democrats believe in fairness. None of it is true except in Don’s little mind.

Former Biden Advisor Neera Tanden (left) debates with Federalist Reporter Brianna Lyman (right) on SAVE America Act
During a panel this week on CNN’s News Night with Abby Phillips, Federalist reporter Brianna Lyman destroyed former Biden advisor and Democratic political consultant Neera Tanden by fact-checking her with CNN’s own reporting on support for the SAVE America Act and voter ID requirements. 
By the end of the exchange, even left-wing host Abby Phillips agreed with Lyman that the SAVE Act is a common sense bill.
Lyman said the SAVE America Act is an 80-20 issue, but Tanden fired back, claiming that “60 percent of people are opposed to it,” and the legislation would require “people to have passports or their birth certificates.” Even if it were true, this is a reasonable requirement for proving you are a citizen of the United States.
Under the bill, at least five forms of identification are accepted as documentary proof of citizenship, including a driver’s license.
Lyman responded to Tande’s claims, citing a 2024 Gallup poll that showed 83% of Americans, including two-thirds of Democrats, support voter ID.
CNN has even reported on this polling, with Jake Tapper calling Schumer out on CNN last month, noting that “83% of the American people, including a majority of Democrats, support voter ID laws.”
But Tanden bizarrely replied, “The SAVE Act is not voter ID. That’s my point,” sparking a back-and-forth in which Lyman noted that it is extremely easy to obtain one’s birth certificate. “It takes about 10 minutes. You could request your birth certificate. They mail it to you,” said Lyman. “The next question becomes lots of poll tax. I think Republicans should come up with a compromise and say we will give you a tax rebate if you paid for that.”
Abby Phillips then chimed in, calling a tax rebate a “good compromise” for the SAVE America Act. Still, it with or without a tax rebate, there is no excuse for a person to have an ID, which is necessary to buy alcohol and tobacco, drive a car, and board flights in the US. The supposed “poll tax” concern is just another BS excuse to oppose free and fair elections.
Tanden continued trying to talk over Lyman, arguing that people shouldn’t have to get their birth certificates. “First of all, you’re making it seem like everybody’s missing their birth certificate. That’s not true,” Lyman responded to the bogus argument.
WATCH:
Lyman: This is legislation that is extremely popular. It’s an 80-20 issue for Republicans, Democrats, independents, and it’s common sense election integrity.
Tanden: Actually, it’s not an 80-20 issue when you actually described the SAVE Act, which requires people to have passports or their birth certificates. 60 percent of people are opposed to it.
Lyman: As for this not being an 80-20 issue, that’s incorrect. A 2024 Gallup poll, 84 percent of adults favor photo ID, 83 percent favor documentary proof of citizenship to register. That’s 66 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, 96 percent of GOP. A 2025 August poll, 83 percent of adults favor voter ID. Also, you talked about —
Tanden: The SAVE Act is not voter ID. That’s my point.
Lyman: It is voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship, which Gallup poll literally scored. Second of all, you mentioned birth records. There is a thing called vital check, which 45 states have. The other five states require you to go through their own state databases. And you could – it takes about 10 minutes. You could request your birth certificate. They mail it to you. The next question becomes lots of poll tax. I think Republicans should come up with a compromise and say we will give you a tax rebate if you paid for that.
(CROSSTALK)
Lyman: First of all you’re making it seem like everybody’s missing their birth certificate. That’s not true. Last but not least, when it comes to women —
Phillip: That’s a good compromise. I mean, look, I do think that attempts to actually address concerns about this legislation would be useful here.

Talarico pushed leftwing politics on children as a 6th grade public school teacher?! pic.twitter.com/2lunHBujip
— Victor Nieves (@ItsVictorNieves) March 14, 2026

Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate, James Talarico, is being positioned as if he is a moderate, yet he is anything but.
Talarico reportedly used his position as a public school teacher to push his radical left wing politics onto children in the classroom.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
Prior to getting into politics, Texas Democrat James Talarico was a middle school teacher in San Antonio. He apparently used his classroom to push Democrat politics on his young students.
The Democrat senate candidate reportedly had students write ‘Obama memoirs’ and encouraged them to watch the Democrat National Convention on TV.
Talarico uses Christianity to push his far left views, so it’s not much of a stretch to believe he used his position as a teacher to push left wing politics as well.
The Daily Wire exposed,
In a November 13, 2012, post, days after President Barack Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney, Talarico posted: “Today, we finished writing our Obama memoirs. We’ve been learning about narrative non-fiction writing like memoirs for the past 2 weeks.”
“Students wrote a memoir of Election Night from the point of view of a member of the Obama family. Awesome job, Wildcats!” he added. A photo accompanying the post showed a student essay beneath the word, “Victory!!!!!!”
In another post, Talarico highlighted the student memoirs on a classroom wall alongside images of the Obama family and the Obama campaign logo.

If Talarico would use his position of influence and authority as a public school teacher to impose leftwing politics onto children, what would he do as a U.S. Senator?

Jair Bolsonaro’s health is fading behind bars.
Lula da Silva denied visa to Trump envoy Darren Beatie who intended to visit the incarcerated conservative leader.
Conservatives in Brazil and around the world are worried about the frail health condition of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving an almost three-decade-long sentence for a ‘coup-d’état’, an insurrection as fake as a three-dollar bill.
The tyrant judges in the out-of-control Supreme Court have repeatedly denied the requests to transfer Bolsonaro to house arrest, and there’s legitimate concern among his family, doctors and supporters that he may die in prison.

A hospital in the capital Brasilia confirmed that Bolsonaro has pneumonia and is receiving treatment in an intensive care unit.

Associated Press reported:
“One of his doctors, Brasil Caiado, told journalists that the 70-year-old’s medical situation was serious.
‘Pneumonia in patients over 70 is always serious because it can progress to septicemia, since the bacteria can normally enter the bloodstream and cause an even more severe condition’, Caiado said.
[…] He was admitted to the hospital after experiencing high fever, low oxygen, sweating and chills, DF Star Hospital said in a statement. Exams confirmed bronchopneumonia, a type of pneumonia, likely caused by aspiration.”

“The embattled ex-leader was transferred to a larger cell in January, but his relatives have repeatedly asked the Supreme Court to allow Bolsonaro to carry out his sentence under house arrest. They allege he is being mistreated and receiving insufficient medical attention.”

At this point, Canada hasn’t just done away with common sense. It’s dumped gasoline on it and set it ablaze for the world to see.
For example, former Chilliwack, British Columbia, school trustee Barry Neufeld must pay $750,000 for violating the Human Rights Code.
What exactly did Neufeld do for such a massive fine?
A Tribunal concluded he “invoked negative and insidious stereotypes about LGBTQ people, especially trans people, which denied their inherent dignity and, in some cases, reflected the hallmarks of hate against them as a group,” as the CBC reported Feb. 20.
“For five years, he publicly denigrated LGBTQ people and teachers and associated them with the worst forms of child abuse,” the Tribunal said further.
Neufeld had a complaint brought against him by Chilliwack Teachers’ Association and B.C. Teachers’ Federation after making Facebook posts, a speech, remarks at school board meetings, and comments to the media that the sentencing body felt would make those groups the target of hate.
One unnamed teacher said his comments had family members urging this person to reconsider career paths. The Tribunal said Neufeld “poisoned” the workplace.
He is a Christian, and his comments were relayed by The Christian Post. They aligned with historic Christian teaching on sexuality to which millions still subscribe today.
“It dawned on me that for a Christian, there are two approaches to take. The pastoral approach is one of compassion and empathy while firmly refusing to buy into their client’s delusional thinking. As one pastor said to a transgender person: ‘it is my responsibility to love you: but it is God’s job the [sic] change you’. However, while helping me grasp a better understanding of gender Dysphoria, the [issue] is so complex that it is hard to apply these insights in a debate at the political level, especially on Facebook,” Neufeld wrote.
He said his mission is to try “speaking out to the lawmakers in Victoria and trying to motivate lukewarm Christians who are sitting idly by as all of Society ‘Slouches towards Gomorrah.’”
Further, he spoke about the political ramifications of gender ideology, noting that it has “demonized people of faith who believe that God created humans male and female: In the Image of God.”
Neufeld issued a news release about the Tribunal’s decision and the $750,000 fee, saying, “I am sure they know I can never begin to pay this, but it sets a precedent, and in the future, no one else will ever dare to criticize their sacred Gender Ideology. So I must try to overturn this draconian decision.”
The complaint against Neufeld showed the thinking of his opposition. The document claimed “transpeople are, by definition, people ‘whose gender identity does not align with the sex assigned to them at birth.’”
“If a person elects not to ‘believe’ that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not ‘believe’ in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial,” it continued.
The Tribunal added, “A person does not need to believe in Christianity to accept that another person is Christian. However, to accept that a person is transgender, one must accept that their gender identity is different than their sex assigned at birth.”
Billboard Chris, an activist who opposes transgender child mutilation, reposted those comments along with a picture he took with Neufeld.

BREAKING: Barry Neufeld, a former school trustee who opposed gender ideology in schools, has been ordered to pay $750,000 to the Chilliwack Teacher’s Assocation.

Billboard Chris correctly concluded, “The Tribunal has declared that all British Columbians must believe in gender identities.”
In Canada, it is illegal to go against the regime’s dogma. You must buy the lie and repeat it.
However, Russian author and Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn once said, “One man who stopped lying could bring down a tyranny.”
Neufeld has the courage and the faith in Jesus Christ. He could be that man.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez has shared a video message with his supporters after being released from prison for attempting to confront the man accused of molesting his four-year-old son.
Velasquez, who was sentenced to five years but released early on parole in February, shared a heartfelt message expressing gratitude for all the support he has received and relief at being back home with his family.
In February 2022, Velasquez discovered that Harry Goularte Jr., an employee at a daycare operated by Goularte’s mother, had allegedly abused his young son.
Velasquez pursued Goularte in an intense 11-mile high-speed chase, ramming his vehicle and firing shots that injured Goularte’s stepfather.
In 2024, Velasquez pleaded no contest to charges including attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Prosecutors demanded a 30-year-to-life sentence, but he was handed five years in March of last year, with credit for three years already served in pre-trial detention.
The fighter ultimately earned an early release through participation in rehabilitative programs.
In his video statement posted on social media, Velasquez opened up about readjusting to freedom.
“Now that it’s been a couple weeks since my release, I’ve had some time to kind of get back into things, get back into a normal way of life… Being at home with the family, being there for my kids,” Velasquez said.

He pleaded not guilty to felony lewd acts with a minor under 14 and is out on supervised release with GPS monitoring.
A trial-setting hearing is set for April 15, over four years after the allegations surfaced.
