Ted Cruz Claims “Christ Is King” is Being Used Online as Code for “I Hate the Jews” (Videos)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/ted-cruz-suggests-christ-is-king-is-antisemitic/

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) issued a stark warning during an exclusive interview with David Brody of CBN News, arguing that antisemitism is not only rising on the political left but is increasingly surfacing in parts of the conservative movement online.

During the interview, Cruz called out Vice President JD Vance for his alleged silence on Carlson’s rhetoric, suggesting that silence is complicity.

He also suggested that the popular phrase “Christ Is King” is being weaponized as a code word for Jew-hatred.

Senator Cruz told Brody that he believes the GOP is at a crossroads similar to the one described by Ronald Reagan in 1964.

He specifically pointed to Tucker Carlson as the leader of what he calls a “venomous ideology” that is infiltrating the party.

When asked by Brody if Vice President JD Vance, a close friend of Carlson, should speak out against the former Fox News host, Cruz was blunt: Continue…

Armed Muslim Man Wearing Military Gear Arrested After Walking Into Texas Elementary School

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/breaking-armed-muslim-wearing-military-gear-arrested-after/

An armed Muslim man wearing tactical gear was arrested after walking into an elementary school in Spring, Texas, this week.

The suspect, 39-year-old Kyle Najm Chris, AKA, Muhi Mohanad Najm, walked into Zwink Elementary School on Tuesday after another visitor failed to secure the first set of doors to the school.

Although Najm Chris was able to enter through the first set of doors, the school’s double-door security system blocked him from entering the hallways and approaching the school children.

Klein ISD waited until Wednesday evening to notify parents about the breach.

The school district was reportedly working with the FBI before officers arrested him at his home, 4 miles away from the school.

Najm Chris initially told police he was a security guard; however, he is unemployed and does not hold any certifications or licenses to serve as an officer.

He is being held on a $75,000 bond.

A new phase of the Iranian war has begun – drone strikes against IRGC and Basij units are taking place at the street level. (Videos)

https://joehoft.com/holy-smokes-drone-strikes-are-now-targeting-irgc/

This is amazing. The Iranian people are helping identify where IRGC checkpoints and vehicles are located, and they are being blown away by US and Israeli drones.

Less than a week ago, it was reported that a Baij checkpoint was hit by Israeli drones.

The Basij is widely used by the Iranian government for internal security and protest control.

Israeli officials have previously confirmed strikes on Basij bases and internal security command centers across Tehran during the current campaign.

Some reports circulating online claim that Iranians opposed to the regime are feeding checkpoint locations to Israeli intelligence in real time, allowing rapid targeting of security positions. Continue…

Hungary To Declassify Bombshell National Security Report Proving Globalist Opposition to Viktor Orbán Is Illegally Funded by Ukraine

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/hungary-declassify-bombshell-national-security-report-proving-globalist/

Next month, Hungarians will decide the future of the Eastern European nation: will they remain on the nationalistic and conservative path they have been on for the last 14 years, or will they embrace the Globalist opposition?

Péter Magyar and his Tisza party are the darlings of the EU establishment, bound to bring all the suicidal Brussels policies: unchecked mass migration, LGBT propaganda, ‘Net Zero’ insane environmental regulations, total funding for Ukraine military… the list is long and sad.

But Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is not giving up without a fight, facing the EU and Ukraine for stopping the flow of Russian oil to Hungary, as you can read in: ORBÁN FIGHTS BACK: Hungary Blocks $106 Billion EU Loan to Ukraine Until Zelensky Allows Flow of Russian Oil Through Druzhba Pipeline To Resume

He also unleashed his Law Enforcement to disrupt illegal money transit from Kiev to fund his opposition, as you can read in: WATCH: Hungarian Counter Terrorism Forces Arrest 7 Ukrainians Suspected of Money Laundering, Seize $80 Million and 9 Kilograms of Gold.

And now, Orbán directed his government to declassify a national security report that claims to prove his main political challenger, Péter Magyar, received illegal financing from Ukraine.

Besides running the sex trafficking ring that the world go to know in the last few years, the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was also a power broker for the super-elites, from scientists, bankers and businessmen to royals, politicians and entertainers.

It’s become clear, now, how disgraced Labour peer Peter Mandelson was Epstein’s man inside the British establishment, to the point where he could even arrange a sit-down of ‘his best pal’ Epstein with the Prime Minister.

Then-Labour PM, Tony Blair, is said to have ‘discussed religion’ with Epstein at a Downing Street meeting brokered by Mandelson, new US DOJ-released documents reveal. Continue…

Europe’s energy anxieties have surged to the forefront of international politics as tensions in the Persian Gulf threaten one of the most critical arteries of the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz.

In recent days, France and Italy have quietly opened diplomatic contacts with Iran in an attempt to secure safe passage for European commercial vessels through the strategic waterway.

The discussions, first reported by the Financial Times, underscore the growing concern among European governments that prolonged instability in the region could trigger severe economic consequences. Continue…

Trump Claims "Many Countries" Will Send Warships As US "Bombing The Hell Out Of Shoreline" To Reopen Hormuz

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/risking-energy-assets-across-region-trump-crosses-iran-red-line-bombing-kharg-island

While it's unclear whether this is born of desperation or it's "all part of the plan"…President Trump said Saturday he wants other countries to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz alongside the United States to break Iran's chokehold on one of the globe's most critical oil arteries.

Posting on Truth Social Saturday, he claimed that other countries "will be sending War Ships" to the region - then added he "hopefully" expects major economies to step in; however, there doesn't appear to be any 'help' on the horizon. In fact it could be the opposite, after Italy's Meloni declared her country "won't be part of an illegal war".

"Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated," Trump wrote. But he also simultaneously made clear the US is not waiting around: Continue…

The Most Expensive Science Lesson in European History

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/most-expensive-science-lesson-european-history

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan and triggered a massive tsunami that slammed into the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Three of the plant’s six reactors melted down, and it became the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.

On the other side of the world, German Chancellor Angela Merkel panicked.

Her government had extended the operating lives of Germany’s 17 nuclear reactors just five months earlier. But, because of the earthquake in Japan, Merkel reversed course overnight and mothballed eight German reactors.

But Merkel’s decision wasn’t really about natural disasters. It was political.

Merkel was terrified of Germany’s Green Party— which was literally founded on anti-nuclear activism in 1980 and had been gaining ground. A critical regional election was just two weeks away, and Merkel was hoping that she might pull out a victory if she killed the reactors.

Her gambit didn’t work, and the Greens won anyway.

But at that point the fate of nuclear had already been set in motion. Within three months, the German government decided to phase out EVERY nuclear reactor in the country. Continue…

London Buses Must Now Be Equipped With Stab-Kits

Calls for “bleed kits” to be rolled out across London’s bus network have gained traction, with the London Assembly unanimously backing a motion to install them in major bus stations and trial them on high-risk routes.

These kits, designed to stem severe bleeding from deep wounds, are pitched as a lifesaver in emergencies—yet their sudden necessity speaks volumes about the city’s descent into chaos under unchecked policies.

The push comes from the London Youth Assembly, highlighting how young people feel increasingly unsafe on public transport.

British Tourist Faces Prison Sentence In UAE For Filming Iranian Missiles

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/british-tourist-faces-prison-sentence-uae-filming-iranian-missiles

A British tourist is among about 20 people who are facing charges in the UAE for filming Iranian attacks on Dubai, as America's Gulf Arab allies are taking steps to censor the impact of the war.

According to The Guardian, the 60-year-old man is being charged with a law that prohibits sharing material that can endanger public security. The report said that he is still facing charges despite deleting the video immediately when he was asked to.

The charge carries a penalty of up to two years in prison, and many could face similar charges for simply sharing videos of missile attacks that have already been published online.

"The charges sound extremely vague but serious on paper. In reality, the alleged conduct could be something as simple as sharing or commenting on a video that is already circulating online," said Radha Stirling, the head of Detained in Dubai.

"Under UAE cybercrime laws, the person who originally posts content can be charged, but so can anyone who reshapes, reposts, or comments on it," Striling added.

In the immediate aftermath of the US and Israel launching the war with Iran on February 28, videos of counterattacks in Gulf countries were widespread on social media, but they became scarce once the Arab governments began cracking down.

In Bahrain, which has a Shia majority ruled by a Sunni monarch, authorities began arresting people for "misusing" social media and pursued people who appeared to be celebrating the attacks.

Israel has also imposed tight restrictions on the dissemination of information about Iranian missile strikes, as it did during the 12-Day War in June 2025.

Washington has eased sanctions on countries buying Russian oil in connection with the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz crisis, an easing welcomed by the Kremlin, but which has caused angst and anger among pro-Ukraine campaigners.

The US waiver is active for a month, and applies to crude which has has been floating at sea and thus was unable to be sold. However, this hasn't stopped some European countries from moving against tankers without proper registration and flags. Continue…

Guidelines warn that depicting humans or prophets could spark blasphemy complaints, forcing teachers to tiptoe around religious sensitivities at the expense of creativity and open education.

CDC: Little-Known Virus With No Vaccine Spreading In US

https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/cdc-little-known-virus-no-vaccine-spreading-us

The human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is spreading in the United States, including in California and the Great Lakes region, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Symptoms include cough, fever, and nasal congestion, and, unlike better-known respiratory viruses, HMPV does not have a vaccine or known treatments, the CDC stated.

“There’s no specific treatment that’s generally recommended,” Dr. Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of California–Davis Children’s Hospital, said in a video released by the school.

“For the youngest children, using a bulb syringe to clear the congestion can be useful. Sometimes a humidifier or vaporizer may be useful, especially if they have something like croup as a complication of infection and trying to make sure that they don’t get dehydrated and get enough fluids.”

Hospitalized patients typically receive supportive care, or oxygen if they need it, and intravenous fluids to prevent or treat dehydration.

Of nationwide tests that were positive for respiratory viruses in the week that ended on Feb. 28, 5 percent tested positive for HMPV—the highest percentage for HMPV since mid-2025. The percentage is lower than that of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) but higher than that of COVID-19, according to the National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System.

School Branded 1st Grader 'Racist' Over 'Any Life Matters Drawing; Court Slams Principal

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/school-branded-1st-grader-racist-over-any-life-matters-drawing-court-slams-principal

When a 7-year-old’s heartfelt sketch promoting equality gets twisted into “racism” by leftist school officials, it’s a chilling sign of how far indoctrination has gone—now finally overturned in a resounding First Amendment victory.

This case exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of progressive education: punishing a child for daring to change “Black Lives Matter” into a message of universal value, all while claiming to champion inclusion.

In 2021, at Viejo Elementary School in California, a first grader identified as BB created a simple drawing after her class learned about Martin Luther King Jr. and “Black Lives Matter.” The artwork showed four oval shapes in shades from orange to brown, representing friends holding hands, with the words “Black Lives Mater” above and “any life” below.

As the administrator we trust you know the actions that need to be taken to address this issue.”

Becerra confronted BB, telling her the drawing was “not appropriate” and “racist,” according to her account. He allegedly forced an apology, banned her from recess for two weeks, and prohibited her from giving drawings to classmates—without notifying her parents. Continue…

Sen. Jim Banks Warns About Chinese Pilots Getting U.S. Training After ‘Invisible Coup’ Revelation

https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2026/03/14/senator-jim-banks-warns-about-chinese-pilots-getting-u-s-training-after-invisible-coup-revelation/

Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) is sounding the alarm regarding Chinese nationals training in the United States to become pilots, a fact that was first revealed in New York Times bestselling author and Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer’s new book, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.

He is sending a letter to the Transportation Security Administration about the issue, National Review reported Friday, because those trainees could become assets to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) military and meet its demand for pilots.

Banks wrote in the letter:

Each Chinese citizen trained at an American flight school helps break through China’s pilot bottleneck. While many of these students will go on to civilian and not military careers, the Chinese Communist Party, through its Military-Civil Fusion strategy, has foreclosed our ability to view this training with the benefit of a doubt. The more Chinese citizens there are with aviation training, the more options the Chinese military has to recruit pilots and instructors for its malign purposes.

Schweizer detailed in The Invisible Coup how the CCP is using America’s “openness and generosity against us” by sending thousands of trainees to the United States to become pilots.

‘Depressed’ Neil Young Working on Anti-Trump Protest Album

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2026/03/13/depressed-neil-young-working-on-anti-trump-protest-album/

Rocker Neil Young says he’s “sad” and “depressed” by the news of the day under President Donald Trump and he needs to put out a new, Anti-Trump album to express his feeling about what he called the “worst president in the history of our country.”

The Canadian citizen who only became a U.S. citizen in 2020 so he could vote against Trump, claims he is “hurt for this country.”

“Folks, I am so hurt for this country,” Young wrote on his website. “Politics today is sad and depressing for me. I can’t do it anymore. I can go out and demonstrate my feelings about it. We have the worst president in the history of our country. Every day a bad TV show produced by DJT is what we get.”

“Now, thankfully, once again, I’m in the studio recording a new album with the Chrome Hearts,” he added. “I love the songs and the feelings of life and love. Music is. So far we have eight new songs. They make me feel.”

Young, whose biggest hit was “Heart of Gold” from 1972, has been railing about President Trump since the New York business man ran for president the first time.

In January, for instance, he demanded that Americans “rise up” to fight Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which he claims is “destroying America,” despite that ICE is not in any way affect the lives of most Americans.

“Wake up people! Today The USA is a disaster” the Canadian citizen wrote at the time.

He also attempted to make a strike against Trump by gifting his music catalog to Greenland, making his public declaration in response to Trump’s pressure on Greenland to work with his administration as it seeks to secure the vital geo-political asset from threats – now and in the future.

Despite Young’s claim to want peaceful resistance, though, last May he suggested that Trump should be assassinated by adding the line “86/47” in his overheated blog.

Federal court orders release of locomotive recorder data after fatal B.C. derailment

https://www.westernstandard.news/news/federal-court-orders-release-of-locomotive-recorder-data-after-fatal-bc-derailment/71732

A federal judge has ruled that data from locomotive event recorders must be publicly disclosed, marking the first time information from the devices will be released since Parliament mandated their use in 2022.

Blacklock's Reporter says the decision follows a deadly 2019 derailment in a B.C. mountain pass that claimed the lives of three crew members, including a trainee.

Justice Richard Southcott of the Federal Court dismissed a bid by Canadian Pacific Railway to block access under the Access to Information Act, noting the railway had “not established a reasonable expectation” of confidentiality.

Investigators found a 15,000-tonne grain train bound for the Port of Vancouver had lost its air brakes near Field, B.C., before hurtling down a mountain pass at 85 kilometres an hour — three times the speed limit — and jackknifing on a sharp curve near the Kicking Horse River.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada determined mechanical failure contributed to the crash and agreed in 2023 to release the recorder data to an anonymous requester.

“This application will be dismissed,” Justice Southcott wrote.

“The Transportation Safety Board emphasizes railway companies are statutorily obliged to record this information and provide it to the Board when requested.” Continue…

NS First Nation Tells Government and RCMP to Stay out of Cannabis and Tobacco Sales

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/ns-first-nation-tells-government-and-rcmp-to-stay-out-of-cannabis-and-tobacco-sales-5998910?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

An indigenous government in Nova Scotia has passed a new resolution saying the province and RCMP have no right to carry out enforcement on its lands, as police and provincial officials step up raids on what they claim are illegal cannabis operations.

The council of Cape Breton’s Membertou First Nation, led by Chief Terry Paul, released the resolution Friday saying it has a treaty right to self-governance, recognized by the Constitution. It says that includes the right to regulate sales of cannabis and tobacco.

“Enforcement bodies used by the Province of Nova Scotia to assert their unlawful authority, including the RCMP, and Service Nova Scotia—Alcohol, Gaming, Fuel and Tobacco Division, are not permitted to carry out enforcement activities on Membertou lands,” says the document.

It’s the latest in an ongoing dispute between Nova Scotia’s Mi’kmaw governments and the province that ratcheted up when Attorney General Scott Armstrong issued a directive to police agencies in December to increase illegal cannabis enforcement. Armstrong wrote to 13 Mi'kmaq chiefs at the time, requesting their co-operation.

The provincial government and Mi’kmaq leaders have also had disputes over grant funding, resource extraction policies and protests on Crown land.

Armstrong has claimed unregulated cannabis benefits organized crime, with profits used to fund other crimes, such as human trafficking. Police have followed orders with a series of raids across the province, including on March 3 when they seized cannabis from five dispensaries in Eskasoni First Nation, Potlotek First Nation, Paq’tnkek First Nation, Waycobah First Nation and near Digby, N.S.

Nova Scotia braces for wildfire season: $6.8 million committed to water bomber contract, burn restrictions start Sunday

It might be wet and slushy across Nova Scotia at the moment, but it’s never too early to brace for wildfire season.

Provincewide seasonal burning restrictions go into effect on Sunday, and the provincial government just announced a $6.8-million commitment to contract four fixed-wing water bombers.

“It’s a one-year contract and they’ll be stationed in the province,” Jim Rudderham, the director of Nova Scotia fleet and forest protection, said. “They will be our resources exclusively and we’ll have them from May 1st to September 30th.”

“We’re contracting them because you can’t just go out and buy them off the shelf,” he added. “You have to get on the waiting list to get them, then they have to be built and delivered, so you’re looking at three to five years for one of these planes. You can’t just go out and get one tomorrow, so by contracting them, we can have them tomorrow.” Continue…

Five people a day still dying from toxic drugs in B.C.: Coroner

https://nationalpost.com/news/bc-many-still-dying-toxic-drugs-coroner/wcm/3a837f3f-f894-4ba0-acb3-dabfe28eb2c0

Next month will mark a decade since B.C. declared a public health emergency over the tainted illicit drug supply causing an alarming number of overdose deaths.

Since then, more than 16,000 British Columbians have died from unregulated drugs and the number continues to climb.

On Friday, the B.C. Coroners Service said nearly five people a day lose their lives, with 150 deaths reported in January.

The coroner says that although this number represents a decrease of 10 per cent from the number of deaths in January 2025, it still equates to 4.8 deaths daily and is consistent with the number of deaths reported monthly throughout 2025. Continue…

Canada to put 24 million barrels of oil toward IEA effort

Canada, the world’s fourth-biggest oil supplier and second-largest within the IEA, does not hold a strategic petroleum reserve like the US. The country’s support will come from planned production, according to a government official familiar with the matter. Continue…
