Trump Tells Iran ‘Time Is Running Out’

By Robert Spencer

On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump gave the surviving rulers of the Islamic Republic of Iran another ultimatum: “Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”’This follows the president’s announcement on March 26:

 “As per Iranian Government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction by 10 Days to Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 P.M., Eastern Time. Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter! 

President DONALD J. TRUMP.”Just a few hours after he issued the Saturday morning ultimatum, however, Trump wrote: “Many of Iran’s Military Leaders, who have led them poorly and unwisely, are terminated, along with much else, with this massive strike in Tehran! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” It was unclear whether this meant that the 48-hour ultimatum was still in place or not, but the “massive strike” certainly removed any lingering doubt that Trump was in earnest.

Why Are Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia (ASE) Not Accepted in Eastern Cultures?

April 3, 2026* 

COMMENTARY

The famous lines from Kipling’s poem, “The Ballad of East and West,” are often taken out of context and interpreted to mean that there are irreconcilable differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Actually, the subsequent lines of the poem suggest the opposite, that these cultural divisions vanish when individuals of equal strength meet, “tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!"

Perhaps so—but in the matter of assisted suicide and euthanasia (AS/E), there are indeed serious and perhaps irreconcilable differences between many countries of the “West” and those of the Asian “East.” To be sure, the terms East and West are rough and imprecise designations. In broad terms, for the purposes of this discussion, we include in the West primarily the European countries, such as Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, along with the US, the UK, and Canada. 

Some would include Australia and New Zealand. Included in the East are, among others, China, Japan, India, and Korea. But as we will explain, the terms East and West in this article refer primarily to historically different cultural, philosophical, and spiritual traditions—all of which have great bearing on the matter of AS/E. These matters are of more than academic interest to psychiatrists, since patients of Eastern and Western cultural heritage may view end-of-life care—often involving psychiatric interventions—quite differently.1

How Nebraska Ranchers Helped the Amish

By Erik Wesner, from News Channel Nebraska:

Following the wildfire which hit the Amish in the “middle of nowhere”, a non-Amish father and son found they could relate to the community’s loss. ...

Kilgore, Neb. - Wildfires across Nebraska's Sandhills are leaving many ranchers scrambling to find ways to feed their cattle. At the same time, support is coming from those who understand the loss firsthand.

Rick and Triston Stewart of Chadron are among those stepping in to help. The father and son recently delivered two loads — about 60 bales of hay — to an Amish family south of Kilgore whose home and feed supply were devastated by the Anderson Bridge Fire.

Senator Fred H. Dore’s Address to the Graduates of John Kennedy High School

May 25th 1972

Dear Reverend Fathers and Sisters, Graduates, Parents and Friends:

Tonight is a night you will remember the rest of your lives. I can remember my own high school graduation from a private high school some 29 years ago. I can recall vividly that 83 of us graduated that night in the middle of World War II and there were fears and trepidation among all of us as to just what the new bold world would mean to us in the years ahead.

In many ways the atmosphere today is similar to what it was in 1943. Peace is on the lips of all citizens and yet war wages in the far corners of the world. People seek instant solutions from our statesmen and politicians. In 1943 we were concerned but optimistic, for we had faith in our education, our training and ourselves and our country. Hopefully you share the same thoughts and aspirations here tonight.

KYAC Radio May 1975

I'm sitting in my room, trying to think.  As usual, the radio's on.  Neil Diamond's song, "I am,  I said," is playing softly.  

Diamond, originally of New York and now living in California, expresses his feelings of displacement or of not quite belonging:

"L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home, New York's home, but it ain't mine no more."

Today, while I was out job hunting, I went back to my New York: Seattle's Madrona district.  It seemed smaller, different, almost foreign.  I had become an outsider to the place that had shaped my very attitude toward life.

As I walked along those same streets, I thought back to the way it was when I was about twelve:

Young, super cool Black Panthers strutted down the streets full of pride and hate, showing off their black leather jackets, their black caps and their rakes.  [A type of metal hair comb].

I was attacked on the street for being white.

Was London's Recent Prayer a Show of Conquest?

Raymond Ibrahim, 03/25/26

On March 16, thousands of Muslims took over London’s Trafalgar Square to mark their communal breaking of Ramadan fast. A dramatic spectacle followed—replete with bodies sprawled all over the streets in prostration, as Koran verses, including “Allahu akbar,” blared out over megaphones in Arabic.

Several British Christians and conservatives responded by rightfully accusing the Muslims of intentionally engaging in a provocative act of domination over British, historically Christian, public space.

In the words of Nick Timothy, Shadow Secretary of State for Justice and Shadow Lord Chancellor:

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan—which declares there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger—is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals… [T]he domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook.

Margaret Dore Beats the Odds

With  the odds stacked against her, Margaret Dore, Esq., MBA did an admirable job educating attendee's at an "End of Life Options Discussion Panel" sponsored by Hamline Mitchell Law School's Health Law Society in Saint Paul, Minnesota on Thursday evening.

The panel was comprised of three supporters of the Minnesota End of Life Options Act, including Thaddeus Pope, and Ms. Dore, who alone stood to expose the language of the bill and the reality of what that language has allowed in Washington State, where Ms. Dore is an attorney and president of Choice is an Illusion. Not only was she outnumbered 3 to one on the panel, but pro-assisted death representatives had a fit when Ms. Dore attempted to share documentation for her talk and blocked her from handing it out.

Ms. Dore hammered home points that are often glossed over. When panel members insisted that this bill pertained to "terminal patients with less than 6 months to live," Ms. Dore shared a real encounter she had. "Doctors can be wrong about life expectancy, sometimes way wrong," said Dore. "This is due to actual mistakes and the fact that predicting life expectancy is not an exact science. A few years ago, I was met at the airport by a man who at age 18 had been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and given 3 to 5 years to live, at which time he was to die by paralysis. His diagnosis had been confirmed by the Mayo Clinic. When he met me at the airport, he was 74 years old. The disease progression had stopped on its own."

Alberta Government Moves to Drastically Reduce Access to Medically Assisted Dying (Euthanasia)

Story by Jack Farrell

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's government took steps Wednesday to drastically restrict who's eligible for medical assistance in dying.  

Smith’s United Conservative Party government introduced a bill that, if passed, would limit medical assistance in dying, better known as MAID, to those likely to die of natural causes within a year.

Those under 18 would still be prohibited regardless of condition, in line with current federal rules.

But Smith said Ottawa's framework is largely missing the mark.

"I think that we're failing in our duty to give people hope," Smith told reporters before the bill was introduced in the house.

"We believe MAID must be a compassionate option reserved only for those who will not recover from terminal illness."

The Muslim Persecution of Christians, December 2025

Raymond Ibrahim, original publication 03/22/26* 

On December 10, in Punjab Province, a Muslim man in his early 20s, Muhammad Uzair Riaz Dogar, “sodomized” a 6-year-old Christian girl during a tutoring session at his home. The victim, daughter of impoverished Salvation Army church member Saleem Masih, had been tutored by the suspect’s sister for four months. While the female tutor was away, the brother let all Muslim children leave but forcibly took the Christian girl to another room and assaulted her. She was found crying in pain, clothes blood-soaked; hospital examination confirmed sodomy. The perpetrator was eventually arrested, but his family tried to pressure the family to withdraw charges and settle, making derogatory remarks exploiting their Christian poverty. According to the girl’s father:....

Scotland's Parliament Rejects Assisted Suicide

Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition. 

On March 17, Scotland's parliament voted 69 to 57 to reject Liam McArthur's assisted suicide bill. This is a great victory after the same bill was passed at second reading, in May 2025, by a vote of 70 to 56.

The defeat of Scotland's assisted suicide bill follows the death of the England / Wales Kim Leadbeater assisted suicide bill that has essentially died in the British House of Lords.

Afroman (Joseph Foreman)

 Andrew Chapados, 03/20/26  

Afroman made wildly popular music videos using footage from a raid of his home.  

Afroman did not defame officers when he made songs about a police raid that destroyed his front door but resulted in no charges, an Ohio jury has decided.

In 2022, deputies from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office burst into the rapper's home while he was away by way of search warrant in order to look for evidence of drug trafficking and kidnapping.

As reported by WCPO Cincinnati, Afroman — real name Joseph Foreman — faced no subsequent charges, but he allegedly had a different mess on his hands. Afroman said officers tore his house apart, cut the cords of his video cameras, and even took his cash. According to CNN, officials later claimed their deputies had merely miscounted the money.

The defamation lawsuit stemmed from multiple Adams County deputies who claimed Afroman used their likeness without permission when he included his security footage in a series of music videos.
