IN DC: Tulsi Gabbard made more of a mess of herself and her reputation (among those who might not have arrived at the conclusion that she already showed towering hypocrisy re her oath to the Constitution while simultaneously voting for funds to keep occupation forces in Afghanistan and while allowing HERSELF to be deployed overseas even when there is no DECLARATION OF WAR). Here, she completely dodges her own statements and recalled reports re Iran.
This offers an extended view of her clownish appearance.

John Ratcliff also made an appearance before the Senate. He got to hear many valuable statements about the Trump fakery re the “threat” of Iran, but the Senators weaved around the core of it - no constitutional Declaration of War. This, still, is worthwhile.
And, recall our discussions on Liberty Conspiracy Live and here re the malleability of the govt term “National Security”? Here we see how Trump is offering “national security briefings” to donors who cough up cash. Senator Kelly is not a fan.
Israeli aggressors bombed an Iranian nat-gas facility. This is massive. It is, from my research today, the largest storage facility of its kind, in the world. The his targeted civilian infrastructure, it has stopped the supply of nat-gas-created electricity to a large portion of Iraq. It also risks Iran needing to shut down others in Iran, which will drastically reduce nat-gas shipping, and key cooperative gas arrangements with other Mid-East nations, such as Qatar, aaaand, it has prompted Iran to strike back. Indeed… Here are details:
Israeli airstrikes hit the South Pars natural gas field and processing facilities in Asaluyeh, Bushehr Province, Iran, the world’s largest gas field shared with Qatar, causing fires, halting gas supplies to Iraq, and disrupting Iran’s energy production. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued urgent evacuation orders for key Gulf energy sites including Saudi Arabia’s Samref Refinery and Jubail Petrochemical Complex, UAE’s Al-Hosn Gas Field, and Qatar’s Mesaieed Petrochemical Complex and Ras Laffan Refinery, declaring them legitimate targets for retaliation. The Israeli strikes, conducted with US approval, escalated regional tensions, triggered Saudi air defenses to intercept ballistic missiles targeting Riyadh, and disrupted global energy markets. LINK
Here is Alistair Crooke on that issue, in discussion with Danny Haiphong, today:
Iran accuses the Gulf states (without directly naming them as launch points for the South Pars strike) of enabling the aggression by hosting or allowing US-linked operations/bases on their territory and ignoring prior warnings against “blind obedience” to external (US/Israeli) powers instead of prioritizing national sovereignty. The logic is that these energy sites are now fair game because they represent “the origin of the aggression” or extensions of US interests — mirroring exactly how Iran’s own energy infrastructure was hit.This is presented purely as defensive reciprocity (“attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure will not go unanswered”), not as punishment for the Gulf states independently starting anything. The broader observed effect (economic pressure via oil/gas price spikes) is noted in coverage but is not the primary rationale Iran itself states in these announcements. These statements were issued within hours of the South Pars strike on March 18, 2026, and include civilian evacuation alerts to the named sites. No strikes on the Gulf facilities have been reported as of now (per latest coverage). More

PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT - This, from Judge Napolitano and Pepe Escobar, spells out the import of this escalation by the US and Israel
CUBA (as XTC sang)Given the temporary “unblocking” of Russian fuel that Trump-Bessent recently announced, it is interesting to see the Russian fuel exporters testing the “permission” slip. Bessent and Trumpola said it was only for 30 days and only for ships on the water carrying Russian fuel. Beyond that, blockade. Sooo, how does one view this, which will be important for the people of Cuba, who only have electricity for a few hours each day, rising from a near total blackout over the weekend?

THE “SAVE” ACT - AND FISA REAUTHORIZATION - INTERTWINEDNot only is the SAVE act unconstitutional in the portion where it usurps state-level control over the choosing of electors to the Electoral College (the requirement for an ID is the infraction, there, that steps on reserved state prerogatives), the FISA-pushers are mixing it with the bill. This seems to be a lever to try to attract some pro-FISA spying Dems. It will not attract them, because they can slip it into other bills. LINK
FIREARMS AND NATURAL RIGHTSThe State of VA again has attacked Natural Rights, this time with a so-called “assault weapons” ban. Of course, the term is amorphous, changed every few years per the desires of politicians, and meaningless, but, more important, the US Constitution’s Second Amendment strictly forbids states from passing ANY infringement on the right to keep and bear arms. As this article notes, ‘Under Virginia law, an “assault firearm” refers to a “semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol which expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material and is equipped at the time of the offense with a magazine which will hold more than 20 rounds of ammunition.” It also applies to guns designed to have a silencer or folding stock.’ No official Virginia government source (VSP, JLARC, Department of Health firearm death data, etc.) provides a specific count or statistic for murders involving “assault weapons” in 2025. In fact… The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)/NIBRS Expanded Homicide Data does not track or categorize “assault weapons” as a distinct class—only broad types like “rifle” (all rifles), handgun, shotgun, etc. “Assault weapon” is viewed as a political/media term, not a crime-data category.
Rifles (the closest proxy, which includes AR-15-style and other semi-autos often labeled “assault weapons”) are used in a tiny fraction of cases. Handguns dominate gun homicides (typically 50-70%+ of known firearm types), while rifles are rare and declining as a share despite more ownership — “assault weapon” bans target guns rarely involved in typical street/gang homicides (excluding suicides, as FBI homicide tables do). Rifles are outnumbered by knives, blunt objects, or hands/fists in murders.
Meanwhile, in another revealing anti-rights move, Trump-Bondi-Inc is fighting a Wyoming bill that would nullify federal gun statutes in the state. LINK

THE US ECONOMYGet ready for much worse.
IMMIGRATION POLICE STATEThe main story dominating coverage today is the ongoing Senate confirmation hearing for Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), President Trump’s nominee to serve as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. He is testifying before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to replace Kristi Noem, who was reportedly fired earlier this month. Lawmakers are questioning Mullin on his priorities for DHS, including potential reforms to ICE and immigration enforcement. Coverage includes live streams and reports highlighting tensions, such as Sen. Elissa Slotkin pressing him on ICE reform plans amid claims that “trust is gone.” Watch live: Markwayne Mullin testifies at Senate confirmation hearing for DHS secretary LINK
