    Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 5 April 2026 | John Semmens
    US District Judge Randolph Moss overturned the federal government's decision to discontinue the subsidies to the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR) calling it "a violation of the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech. Neither the President nor Congress has the right to cancel the payment of federal money to these broadcasters merely because they don't like what they are broadcasting or they have better uses for the funds." White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson called Judge Moss' decision "a ridiculous ruling by an activist judge attempting to undermine the law. NPR and PBS have no right...

    You know what sounds like a good TV show? “ICE Boston .” I’d watch. In real life, they’re helping clear the streets of New England of criminal illegal aliens, and they’ve nabbed five of them who were let in under the Biden regime and were firmly on the radar of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), a cooperative body of 196 countries that shares information. Advertisement Ironically, the agents are operating out of a city whose mayor, Michelle Wu, pitched a fit over their presence and crafted an executive order in February calling ICE missions “unconstitutional and violent federal operations”...

    LA Eater ^ | Mar 2026 | Matthew Kang
    The diverse and expansive Persian/Iranian restaurant scene in Los Angeles comes as a direct result of political strife that emerged in Iran in the 1970s, fueled by American intervention that has come roaring back in recent weeks with a new regional war. In the decades since the Iranian Revolution, the Persian community has developed strong ties to Southern California areas like Glendale and Westwood... Iranian food spans centuries, even longer, with historic ties to the Levant, Mesopotamia, and Silk Road routes. The result, says Farinaz Pirshirazi, is a distinct cuisine that goes beyond the popular kebabs that tend to dominate...

    Asian nations - most recently the Philippines - have been particularly keen to reach agreements as their economies are heavily reliant on energy from the Gulf. In recent weeks - several Asian countries including Pakistan, India and the Philippines - have made agreements with Tehran to let some ships pass through the strait safely. China has also acknowledged that their vessels have also used the channel. Questions remain over the scope of these assurances and just how lasting these agreements with Iran will be. The Philippines imports 98% of its oil from the Middle East and was the first country...

    The Department of Education announced on Monday that it has rescinded Biden-era resolution agreements to several schools that imposed the previous administration’s “radical transgender agenda.” The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) uses resolution agreements to require schools to resolve noncompliance with federal civil rights laws. The Department said previous Democrat administrations “distorted the law contrary to its plain meaning to police discrimination on the basis of ‘gender identity,’ not sex, and imposed resolution agreements with no legal foundation, but rather, based on an ideologically-driven interpretation of Title IX.” The Department said previous administrations admonished school districts with Title...

    Iran’s bloodthirsty mullahs are now openly turning their own citizens, including children and young people, into human shields around the regime’s critical power plants and key infrastructure sites. As The Gateway Pundit reported just hours ago, Iran’s Deputy Minister for Youth Affairs and Secretary of the Supreme Youth Council, Alireza Rahimi, has brazenly called on “young people, athletes, artists, students and professors” to gather around the nation’s power plants at 2 p.m. local time today. They’re dubbing it the “Iran’s Youth Human Chain for a Bright Future.” Reports flooding in confirm Iranians are already gathering en masse around key sites....

    Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tuesday that he was ready to sacrifice his life for Iran, writing on X that more than 14 million Iranians had already declared their readiness to do the same. The post came hours before an Iranian official urged young people to form human chains around the country’s power plants as fears mounted over possible US strikes on civilian infrastructure. Pezeshkian wrote that “more than 14 million” Iranians had declared their readiness to give their lives in defense of the country and added that he too “has been, is, and will be” devoted to Iran.

    Since the beginning of the war, the Iranian regime has seen a massive reduction in its ability to launch ballistic missiles toward Israel. At the start of the engagement, Tehran was capable of firing more than 90 missiles a day, but recent data reveals that this number has plummeted to just 10 per day over the last week. This decline is the result of a relentless pursuit by the Israeli Air Force and intelligence branches, which have systematically hunted down both fixed and mobile launchers. Defense Minister Israel Katz has prioritized the achievement of total aerial superiority, allowing Israeli jets...

    A diplomatic memo shared with Gulf allies and obtained by international media has revealed the "dire" medical condition of Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ali Khamenei and his presumed successor.

He was reportedly wounded during the initial Israeli air strike campaign, known as "Operation Genesis," and has not been seen or heard from in public since he was named to his father's position early last month.

    The Wall Street Journal, quoting Middle Eastern officials, reports that Iran has only cut off its "direct" communications with the US not its talks with ceasefire mediators.While the move has temporarily complicated efforts to make a deal by Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline, it hasn't ended the talks, the report said."Iran intended to send a signal of disapproval and defiance by severing communications," one official was quoted as saying.Iran's state-run Tehran Times later reported that "diplomatic and indirect channels of talks with the US are not closed."The Tehran-based paper had earlier reported that Iran had cut "all diplomatic and backchannel talks"...
