MorePrepare for much more pain at the pump. The United States has started its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Ships are now all barred from entering or exiting Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz by the U.S. Navy. The U.S. says that it is attempting to ratchet up pressure on Iran to reopen the key oil route after peace negotiations collapsed. The U.S. and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, which Tehran says the U.S., via Israel, has already violated. Trump Threatens to Blockade The Strait of Hormuz “We can’t let a country blackmail or extort the world, because that’s what they’re doing,” President Donald Trump told reporters outside the Oval Office after the blockade took effect at 10 a.m. ET, Monday morning. Trump’s impromptu remarks at the White House came after Vice President JD Vance returned from Pakistan without a deal with Iran and with last week’s two-week ceasefire looking shakier amid heightened tensions in the Middle East. Trump said that a point of disagreement has been whether or not Tehran will acquire a nuclear weapon. Since Iran did not agree to never have them, all deals fell through. “We agreed to a lot of things, but they didn’t agree to that, and I…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! North Korea’s Kim Jong Un observed launches of two cruise missiles and three anti-ship missiles from his prized new warship, the 5,000-ton-class destroyer Choe Hyon, state media claimed Tuesday. The cruise missiles flew for more than two hours and the anti-ship missiles for more than 30 minutes along pre-set trajectories over the country’s western seas before accurately striking their targets on Sunday, according to North Korea’s official newspaper Rodong Sinmun. One image released by the Korean Central News Agency showed Kim standing next to North Korean officials while watching a projectile fly away from the ship. Kim has hailed the development of the Choe Hyon, which was first unveiled in April 2025, as a major step toward expanding the operational reach and preemptive strike capabilities of his military.NORTH KOREA FIRES MISSILES TOWARD SEA AFTER RIDICULING SOUTH’S HOPES FOR BETTER TIES State media claim the warship is designed to carry a range of systems, including anti-air and anti-ship weapons as well as nuclear-capable ballistic and cruise missiles. South Korean officials and experts say the vessel was likely built with Russian assistance amid deepening military ties, but some experts question whether it’s ready for active service, The Associated Press reported. After Sunday’s tests, Kim said his…
This article was originally published by George Ford Smith at The Mises Institute. Teddy Roosevelt would be so pleased if he could see the world today, with a US military presence virtually everywhere on the planet. The current savagery with Iran is only the headline conflict—having displaced the proxy missions in Ukraine and Gaza—but many more are quietly underway or waiting in the wings. No declaration of war, of course, since declarations require Congress to act in accordance with a set of rules nobody can agree on. In war, according to Sun Tzu, if the goal is victory, the only rule is winning as quickly as possible. But in a world governed by bankers and politicians, too much haste can be unprofitable. The US, with its military prowess that comprises approximately 37 percent of all global military spending and exceeds the combined defense budgets of the next nine largest spenders, no longer worries about winning or losing wars. The point is to get them started—let the death and destruction begin. That’s where the money is—initially. Later, profits are made from rebuilding the countries that the attackers have demolished. But there’s a looming question: Does the American state have the funds to pick on any country it chooses? The…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! American adults are more likely than others to view their fellow citizens as morally bad, with more than half agreeing to the sentiment in a new Pew Research Center survey of 25 countries. The survey, which was released earlier this month, was the first to feature this question, meaning Pew did not have data to publish showing whether this was a long-held belief or a recent trend.”What we’re seeing is really an increase in a lack of social trust, right? That more frequently, Americans are living in communities where there’s high levels of Americans [who] say that they don’t trust those around them,” J.P. De Gance, the founder and president of Communio, told Fox News Digital.Communio is a nonprofit that works with churches to strengthen families and communities by promoting healthy marriages and relationships.OPINION: NO MARRIAGE. NO BABIES. NO FUTURE. AMERICA’S GOING FROM BIRTH TO DEATH De Gance pointed to the rise in single parent-led households as a primary reason for the decline in social trust.”I think this is the result of a long-term flight from that institution that best forms morals, which is marriage and the family,” De Gance said. “In the…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The stunning and ominous rise in anti-Semitism in the United States cannot be disputed, but can be resisted. It is particularly the obligation of genuine Christians to participate in the repression through education of the ancient evil. It is the particular obligation of Christian institutions — churches, colleges, publishers and more — to do their part in making this sin once again an obvious source of shame and to help cure those who suffer from it and, where it cannot be cured, to force it back by shaming and shunning into the deepest shadows where it belongs.Christianity didn’t invent anti-Semitism. It existed before Christ and the empires of the ancient world would target Jews for many reasons. But, once Christianity rose to dominate Europe, anti-Semitism spread alongside and within a vast portion of the Church.Some, but not enough, of the Church always spoke out against anti-Semitism and its costumed version of today — anti-Zionism — and continues to do so. Saint John Paul the Great and Pope Benedict were the most visible and outspoken opponents of anti-Semitism from within the Catholic Church of my lifetime, but many others have noted the obvious…

Jared Polis to release Peters, 70, since he returned to the White House last year.”Free Tina Peters, a 73-year-old woman with cancer, given a nine-year death sentence in a Colorado prison by a Democrat governor, Jared Polis, and a corrupt political machine, for exposing fraud by the Democrats during the 2020 presidential election,” Trump wrote Wednesday on Truth Social. “Again, free Tina!”COLORADO GOVERNOR LAYS OUT CONDITION FOR GRANTING CLEMENCY TO PRO-TRUMP CLERK UNDER PRESSURE FROM PRESIDENT Polis has acknowledged that Peters’ sentence was “harsh,” given that she had no prior criminal record.The…
