One day ago: . . . "The lack of interest from Washington and Tehran suggests both sides are digging in for an extended conflict, even as the widening war inflicts civilian casualties and Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz sends oil prices soaring.

"US strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island, the country’s main oil export hub, on Friday night underscored Trump’s determination to press ahead with his military assault. Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has vowed to keep the Strait of Hormuz shut and threatened to step up attacks on neighboring countries.

"The Israel Defense Forces has assessed that between 4,000 and 5,000 Iranian soldiers and commanders have been killed since the start of the war."

Ahhh, the curious silence. Democrats Silent on Party Paying Reparations for Slavery

The Party of Race

. . . "Reparations for slavery are in the news, and yet again, there is a curious and very selective silence from those reparations supporters.

The news this week brings to light the views on race-based reparations that are being advocated by one Frederick Haynes III, the pastor of the much-hailed-by-leftists Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Haynes is now running to succeed Crockett in her Texas seat. 

"As headlined in this Fox News story: “Crockett’s potential successor has repeatedly railed against US in reparations push: ‘It’s been evil,’” with the subtitle, “Frederick Haynes III, previously praised notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan as a ‘wonderful and great man.’”

"The story reports:

In 2022, speaking at a “Solidarity for Reparations” event at a San Francisco church, Haynes advocated for reparations on the grounds that America owes it to the African American community ….. “America, you owe us. What you done to us has been immoral. It’s been evil. It’s been unjust. It’s been downright wrong and the only way to bring salvation to America — you gotta pay us what you owe us,” Haynes said. “I’ve come by to say San Francisco, California, Texas, United States of America, if you want salvation to come to this house, you’ve got to engage in reparations.”

"Notice anything? Haynes mentions those he says owe reparations. What does he not mention? That would be the political party he depends on for its political support.".  . More...

IDF: Michigan Synagogue Jihadi’s Brother Was Hezbollah Commander

PJ Media  

"But like so many other Muslims around the world, including his brother the Hezbollah commander, Ghazali decided to turn Ramadan into the “month of Jihad.'”

"Multiple people and outlets have cited the fact that several of Ayman Ghazali’s family members died in an Israeli counterstrike recently as some sort of excuse for why he tried to blow up a Jewish school and synagogue in West Bloomfield. Even the initial reports indicated that Ghazali’s family had terrorist ties, but the IDF has now defined the position of at least one of Ghazali’s brothers, making it obvious why he was the target for an Israeli military strike — and where Ayman’s views came from.

“INTELLIGENCE REVEALS: BROTHER OF TERRORIST BEHIND U.S. SYNAGOGUE ATTACK WAS A HEZBOLLAH TERRORIST” shouted the IDF X post headline on Sunday, March 15.

"The IDF explained, “Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Muhammad Ghazali was responsible for managing weapons operations within a specialized branch of the Badr Unit. The unit is responsible for launching hundreds of rockets toward Israeli civilians throughout the war.” Some Israeli towns had the majority of their buildings damaged or destroyed." . . .More
