NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad, who offered free beer in the event of President Donald Trump’s death, announced his bid for Wisconsin governor on Sunday.”I’m running for Governor because I believe Wisconsin needs a battle-hardened fighter to join the rest of America to save our Democracy from Trump’s regime, and that person doesn’t exist in the crowded field of Democrats currently running in Wisconsin’s Gubernatorial primary,” Bangstad wrote in a Substack post on Sunday.Bangstad’s announcement came a little over a week after his brewery advertised free beer in the event of Trump’s death. The Facebook comments came after news of shots being fired at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where Trump and several of his Cabinet members attended.WISCONSIN DEM’S BAR LAMENTS ‘WE ALMOST GOT FREE BEER DAY’ FOR TRUMP ASSASSINATION “Well, we almost got #freebeerday. Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle,” the post said. “We’ll never know. Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens.”The post led to Bangstad and his company being investigated by…

A fragile truce in the Middle East was under strain on Tuesday after the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire in the Gulf as they wrestled for control of the Strait of Hormuz.Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, said in a social media post on Tuesday breaches of the four-week-old ceasefire by the United States and its allies had endangered shipping and energy transit through the vital waterway.“We know well that the continuation of the current situation is unbearable for the United States, while we have not even begun yet,” he said. The fresh volleys of missiles and drones came after U.S. President Donald Trump launched a new effort to get stranded tankers and other ships through the strait, the vital energy-trade chokepoint that has been virtually closed since the U.S. and Israel began attacks on Iran in February, a war that has killed thousands of people across the region.On Monday, several merchant ships in the Gulf reported explosions or fires, the U.S. said it had destroyed six small Iranian military boats, and an oil port in the United Arab Emirates, which hosts a large U.S. military base, was set ablaze by Iranian missiles.Trump gave scant details about his new effort,…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: The Global Fertilizer Shortage Is Going To Mean The Spring Planting Season In The Northern Hemisphere Will Be A Total Disaster Nobody is going to be able to save the spring planting season in the northern hemisphere now, and that is really bad news because, according to the UN, the number of people in the world experiencing acute hunger was already at an all-time high even before the war began. A historic global food crisis has been escalating for years, and now farmers all over the northern hemisphere either can’t get the nitrogen fertilizer that they desperately need or they are paying much more for it. As a result, global food prices will start rising dramatically once harvest season rolls around, and in many impoverished nations, there simply won’t be enough food for everyone. During normal times, approximately one-third of all globally-traded nitrogen fertilizer travels through the Strait of Hormuz, but right now it can’t get out of the Persian Gulf thanks to the Iranians. Unfortunately, if that nitrogen fertilizer doesn’t get into the hands of farmers in the northern hemisphere within a certain…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former President Barack Obama said that pressure on him to continue being politically active throughout the Trump administrations has created tension in his marriage with former first lady Michelle Obama.”She wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of our lives,” Obama told The New Yorker in an interview published May 4. “It does create a genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her.”Early in President Donald Trump’s first term, Obama had largely followed the previous political norm of a former president remaining tight-lipped on his successor’s moves. But as time wound on, the 44th president began weighing in considerably more.During Trump’s second administration, Obama has further broken those norms, arguably becoming the current president’s most high-profile critic, a fact Obama acknowledged in his interview with The New Yorker.MICHELLE OBAMA SAYS AMERICA GOING THROUGH ITS ‘JANKY’ ERA “People aren’t looking at me in historical comparison to other presidents,” he told the magazine. “They don’t care about the fact that no other ex-president was the main surrogate for the party for four election cycles after they left office.”But Obama claimed that Trump’s “recklessness” forced…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! “Extreme Makeover” is a brand of reality show that has succeeded both when applied to participants who needed to change their health habits, hygiene and clothing choices, as well as when applied to participants’ homes, which had disrepair or structural issues that needed fixing.The programs “worked” because the premise is simple: People and domiciles — no matter how messed up — can change, can be made attractive and functional with the right amount of attention, care and craftsmanship.Now comes a new offshoot: “Extremist Makeover.”While not yet a reality show on a streaming platform, this reboot is far advanced in development within the Democratic Party.MICHIGAN DEM REP DECLINES TO SUPPORT PLATNER AFTER RESURFACED RAPE COMMENTSThe Democratic candidate for the United States Senate seat in Maine — currently occupied by perhaps the most moderate, intelligent, trusted, hard-working and admired senator on both sides of the aisle, Sen.

Platner is from that land “beyond the fringe” in American politics that occasionally throws up onto the election beaches a candidate from the wacky left or…

ILOCOS NORTE, Philippines — The U.S. Army Pacific’s 1st Multi-Domain Task Force and the Philippine Army Artillery Regiment have test-fired a Tomahawk cruise missile from the Typhon launcher in the central Philippines — and it successfully hit a target 995 kilometers away in Nueva Ecija.Col. Dennis Hernandez of the Philippine Marines told Defense News the cruise missile was launched at around 12:20 a.m local time on May 5 and landed at the impact area within Fort Magsaysay, the Army’s main battle camp, in Laur, Nueva Ecija, 61 minutes later.“The missile was very precise. Let’s say if you want to hit a window from a far distance, it lands directly into that window,” Hernandez said. “This skimming missile traveled all the way from Tacloban to the target in Laur.”Exercise officials meant for the Tomahawk missile to support ground troops in a night land maneuver exercise led by the 25th Infantry Division in Fort Magsaysay, part of the ongoing Balikatan annual joint drills between American and Filipino troops.This year’s Balikatan drill involves roughly 17,000 troops from Japan, Australia, France, Canada and New Zealand.The Typhon launcher’s presence in the Philippines, let alone a test-firing of one of its variable munitions, has irked Chinese…
