Incredibly lucky to have caught the President of the United States while he had a rare free moment amid all his tireless efforts to secure victory for the United States over Iran while also overseeing an historic addition to the White House complex, CBS News’s Weijia Jiang on Tuesday called Donald Trump and was able to ask him to clarify whether he really meant to surrender the Strait of Hormuz to Iranian control as he suggested in an earlier post on his personal social media platform.

The president reiterated to Jiang his earlier call for US allies to “build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT” but said he wasn’t ready to pull American troops out of the fight. “At some point I will, not quite yet. But countries have to come in and take care of it. Iran has been decimated, but they’re going to have to come in and do their own work,” Trump told Jiang.

Trump then added that “there’s no real threat” in the Strait of Hormuz. “I’ll be there, but if they’re having a hard time getting oil, let them come and take it like they’re supposed to,” Trump continued, his use of the first person evidently suggesting he personally would fly to the Middle East conflict zone to lead the US armed forces into battle. “Let them come up and take it. They didn’t want to give a hand to anybody. NATO is terrible, and they’re all terrible. So if they want oil, come up and grab it. There’s no real threat, there’s no substantial threat because [Iran] has been decimated.”

“Let them come up and take it. It’s about time they did something for themselves,” the two-time US president concluded his message that a secure shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz already exists so European navies should go and be ready to exchange fire with Iranian vessels and gun batteries.

What a courageous man, expressing a willingness to put the Republican majorities in Congress on the line because of voters suffering inflation if it means that Americans can live free from the vague, hypothetical, imminent-or-not-so-imminent-depends-on-who-you-ask threat of a belligerent Iran.

Such selfless and noble sacrifice for the good of that similarly contingent return to economic prosperity that will, as Maria Bartiromo mentioned at the end of this bit from Texas MAGA Congressman Ronny “Dr Feelgood” Jackson, come as soon as the war is over which will “hopefully” be soon. Whenever the commander-in-chief decides to declare victory or extra super victory.

British monarch King Charles III’s staff on Tuesday confirmed his majesty will be headed to the United States next month at convicted felon President Trump’s invitation, CNN reports without mentioning Donald’s taunting shitpost against Albion from this morning. There are still plenty of UK lawmakers questioning whether traveling is a smart idea right now after Trump unilaterally destabilized global security and economic growth with his deranged decision to attack Iran while simultaneously being unwilling to commit to containing the threat they pose to oil supplies.

And yet Buckingham Palace confirmed Charles and Queen Camilla’s acceptance with “Their Majesties’ programme will celebrate the historic connections and modern bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, marking the 250th anniversary of American Independence.” Kind of odd to invoke one of the worst defeats Britain ever suffered, but whatever.

“COVID-19 continues to evolve, and new variants remain part of that cycle. The latest variant gaining attention is officially known as SARS-CoV-2 Variant BA.3.2, or more commonly called the ‘Cicada’ variant. Like other recent subvariants, such as Nimbus and Stratus, BA.3.2 is part of the ongoing evolution of the virus, with mutations that may influence how easily it spreads and how the immune system responds. As of early February 2026, ‘BA.3.2 was detected in nasal swabs from four travelers, three airplane wastewater samples, clinical samples from five patients and 132 wastewater samples from 25 US states,’ according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”

“‘Monitoring the spread of BA.3.2 provides valuable information about the potential for this new SARS-CoV-2 lineage to evade immunity from a previous infection or vaccination,’ the CDC says.”

“Meaning, the agency is watching how BA.3.2 spreads to learn if it can infect people who already have some protection from COVID vaccines or past illness. As COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses continue to circulate, understanding the Cicada variant – its symptoms, how it spreads and how to protect yourself – can help you make informed decisions for your health,” says a post from Stony Brook University School of Medicine’s Health Hub hyping the new COVID variant.

Don’t say the name too loud around your cats though. It’ll get them awfully hungry. They’ll be pawing at you wondering if you’ve got any cicadas in your pockets, under your shirt, even in your hair.

Fun fact: This press conference comes less than 24 hours after CNN’s Brian Stelter led Monday’s edition of his daily newsletter with, verbatim, “The Pentagon has not held a press briefing about the war in Iran in a week and a half,” under the headline “The Pentagon goes quiet,” so extra lol at hardcore mainstream media hater Petey Pee Pants evidently being shamed into this by friggin CNN.

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the US, we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the USA won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated.”

“The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday.

The “buy from the US, we have plenty,” was an especially nice touch given the demented old idiot’s failure to understand that would further raise prices for Americans already pissed at $4 gas.

“The Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory. France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the “Butcher of Iran,” who has been successfully eliminated! The USA will REMEMBER!!!” Donald continued ranting.

Corrupt scumbag Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department closed more than 23,000 active investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs, and – this one’s extra on-brand because DOGE’s “waste, fraud, and abuse” bullshit was all the rage at the time – federal procurement and program fraud, ProPublica reports on convicted felon President Trump’s failures on his own terms.

More than 11,000 of these plug-pulls came in February 2025 alone, meaning Bondi and her goons had simply decided that since it was a Biden-Garland DOJ case then it must be a leftist witch hunt.

Naturally the DOJ shifted to MAGA priorities, prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in the first six months of the administration, triple the number under Garland.

A photo of White House Minister of Information Karoline Leavitt holding her son next to a pardonee at the annual White House Thanksgiving turkey amnesty event taken by AFP photographer Andrew Caballero-Reynolds back in November was removed from Getty Images’ database after the French wire service was “made aware” Karoline did not like the angle from which the pic was taken, the Daily Beast reports on the latest capitulation to Robespierrean vanity and censorship.

AFP brand and communications director Gregoire Lemarchand confirmed to Status.News that the image was pulled after initial publication and that the agency was “made aware” that the White House did not like the photo, but emphasized that the decision to remove the image was “an internal editorial one, based on our standard quality and selection criteria” even though, well, questioning the causality vs the correlation isn’t really a thing here given the sequence of complaint and removal.

Sources tell the Wall Street Journal that convicted felon President Trump has been telling his minions he’s okay with ending the war against Iran without any effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz – the narrow waterway through which 20 percent of the world’s oil supply moves – closed on Tehran’s terms and, according to the Journal, “leaving a complex operation to reopen it for a later date.”

The President of the United States, who projects an image of courage and resolve to his fanatic cultists, felt a lot of indecision and reluctance when informed by aides that any operation to reopen the Strait – that he also recently decided would eventually be renamed the Strait of America or the Strait of Trump as symbol of his victory – would take four to six weeks. So now he wants to just try to cripple Iran’s naval and ballistic missile capabilities while resuming diplomatic pressure and, should that fail, pressure allies in Europe and the Middle East to figure out how to reopen the Strait.

Brooking Institution Vice President and Iran expert Susan Maloney called any such capitulation before the Strait is opened “unbelievably irresponsible, adding that Trump and Israel started the war together and can’t walk away from the fallout, “Energy markets are inherently global, and there is no possibility of insulating the US from the economic damage that is already occurring and will become exponentially worse if the closure of the strait continues,” said Maloney, expressing the exact kind of smarty-pants, swampy “expertise” thinking that got Trump elected twice in the first place.

The average price of a gallon of gasoline nationally is now above $4 for the first time since 2022, the AP reports on a milestone achievement for convicted felon President Trump’s regime after the he returned to power on a promise of lowering it through his economic and energy policy genius.

The Kuwait Petroleum Corporation on Monday said Kuw-flagged oil tanker al-Salmi was subjected to a “direct and criminal” Iranian attack while stationed in the anchorage area of Dubai’s port in the UAE, Al-Jazeera reports on the kind of stuff that Trump was supposed to stop from happening.

Evidently unafraid of provoking MAGA outrage, Subway on Monday announced in a press release that “Financial pressures are sandwiching Americans between increasingly difficult spending choices. Filling up your gas tank is hard enough, that’s why Subway is making sure fueling yourself is the easiest decision to make this month. Beginning April 1, Subway will offer all Sub Club members a FREE footlong sandwich with the purchase of another footlong sandwich through April 28.”

“The offer is available for all orders made via Subway’s app and website by using promo code FLBOGO for existing Sub Club members and all who join Sub Club while the BOGO is underway.”

Several dozen January 6 MAGA insurrectionists have filed a class-action lawsuit against the federal government, alleging that the US Capitol Police and the DC Metropolitan Police Department “indiscriminately” fired chemical munitions, pepper spray and other projectiles into a crowd gathered on the Capitol’s west side when they were trying to storm into the building and kill every single member of the legislative branch as well as lynch the then-Vice President, Scripps News reports.

It’s not clear yet how many tens of billions of dollars the government will pay out in a settlement and how quickly it will be reached if it has not been reached already. Friday might be pushing it.

Any outcome that is not a swift, massive payout to the plaintiffs will be seen as an unacceptable betrayal of those who risked their lives – and died – trying to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss.

A deer cull that had aimed to wipe out 400 of the ungulates in the towns of Southfield, Farmington, and Farmington Hills in the Detroit area was a complete fucking failure as USDA sharpshooters killed only 70 white-tails during this year’s hunt, the Detroit Observer and Eccentric reports

“Our city and our region continue to face challenges from deer–vehicle collisions, property damage, and ecological impacts,” Farmington Hills Acting City Manager Karen Mondora said. “This first‑year regional deer management effort is one part of a long‑term strategy that also includes education, enforcement, and ongoing evaluation of additional tools. Because deer move freely across municipal boundaries, a coordinated regional approach is essential,” Mondora continued, the very polished language serving only to heighten awareness of the sad, low-energy effort.

The President of the Central African Republic was sworn in for a third term on Monday after an election result disputed by the opposition, a News Website reported. The President, with the first lady at his side, the was sworn in by a judge during a grand ceremony in the Capital City.

The Central African Republic President wore a suit and a tie to the ceremony. He then addressed supporters of his Political Party with a speech promising a bright future for Central African Republicans and a strong defense against threats from the Rebel Group. Tensions with the Rebel Group may have been exacerbated by the election result disputed by losing candidate from National Opposition Party, whose base of power is in Disputed Ethnic Minority-Dominated Region, far from the Capital City. The President may need to call Army General to violently quell unrest in Disputed Ethnic Minority-Dominated Region and execute Religious Leaders and other Opposition Dissidents.

Still key to the future of the Central African Republic is to increase production of agricultural products such as food, rocks such as minerals, and manufactured goods like products. That way more people will have a greater quantity of Central African Republic currency, known as money.

Now-former top CBP official Greg Bovino refused to hand over his official Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts – which combined for 850,000 followers though there was no doubt plenty of overlap – even after he officially left government service earlier this month so the Trump Regime seized control of them and shut them down last week, the Washington Examiner reports.

“Chief Patrol Agent Bovino has retired from federal service and no longer has access to official government social media accounts,” an official wrote to the Examiner, lol. It’s not clear why Bovino wanted to hang onto the accounts – one of which was Bovino’s command post, CBP El Centro, before he renamed it for himself – but it’s not hard to guess that he wanted to hang onto his following for a podcasting career or whatever now that he’s been ousted as the official scapegoat.

In a tweet, an Examiner reporter quotes a DHS official shittalking Bovino over the social media account turf war in which Corey Lewandowski had allowed Greg to do whatever he wanted with the accounts. “Corey prevented the Commissioner from taking any action against Bovino, so that just empowered Bovino and his ego even more. Ever wonder why [CBP] put boats on the river in Chicago? Bovino was willing to make agents literal sitting ducks just for the photo op,” said the source.
