President Trump on Friday renewed his threats to invade Cuba while speaking at the Future Investment Initiative Priority Summit in Miami Beach, Florida.
While speaking about the US’s invasion of Venezuela, where Nicolas Maduro was captured, Trump told the crowd, “Cuba’s next by the way,” before joking that the media should disregard his comments. Then, he doubled down, stating, “Cuba’s next.”
This comes as the Department of Justice is preparing to charge Communist Cuban leaders in cases related to drugs or violence.
Trump has also cut off the flow of oil by threatening tariffs on any country that provides oil to Cuba through an Executive Order last month.
“Swiss philosopher” and Muslim Brotherhood heir Tariq Ramadan is back in the news: it seems that he has been given a more significant punishment than the one he received previously for a different rape (or rapes). This time a French court has sentenced him to eighteen years in durance vile.
One of his accusers in the current proceeding is a former Salafista named Henda Ayari, whose case has been covered herepreviously.
News broke that Tariq Ramadan has been convicted in Paris in absentia for three rapes, and sentenced to 18 years. He is currently in Geneva.
The translated article:
Rape trial: 18 years in prison requested for Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan
The preacher, who never appeared at his trial, is accused of raping three women. The criminal court has issued an arrest warrant for him.
A prison sentence of 18 years was requested Tuesday in the rape trial of the Swiss Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, in the Paris Departmental Criminal Court, which tried him in absentia and behind closed doors for the rapes of three women, a judicial source indicated.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office also asked for an arrest warrant for the accused, who has not appeared before French justice since the beginning of his trial, as well as a permanent ban from French territory once his sentence is served.

It is hard to work out Labor’s priorities, by which we mean Labor’s priorities in destroying this nation. On virtually every front it would appear that the once-proud party of the Aussie blue-collar battler is hell-bent on applying a wrecking ball to everything that Australians once held dear.
.
Our electricity bills are soaring and at the same time hard-working Australians are being warned that thanks to the ‘unexpected’ circumstances surrounding a so-called ‘massive heatwave’ there may well be blackouts across New South Wales. That a few scorchers – i.e. hot and entirely normal early summer days – is enough to strain our energy reserves is worrying enough, but the blasé approach by the hapless Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, freshly returned from his pointless and embarrassing trip to Cop 29 in Azerbaijan, should leave Australians hot under the collar even before the air-con is switched off.

Iran “Laying Traps” & “Building Up Defenses” On Kharg Island
Iranian forces are said to be “laying traps” and “building up defenses” on Kharg Island, in preparation for a possible US ground attack and takeover. Iran has recently bolstered its defenses around Kharg Island, anticipating a possible US move to seize the key oil export hub, CNN reported this week. The island is vital to Iran’s economy, handling roughly 90% of its crude shipments, and has become a focal point in escalating tensions.
There is also growing skepticism among US allies and policymakers about whether capturing the island would achieve its broader objective. Even some Republicans are starting to publicly push back against any possible plans involving ground forces.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced Friday that ships traveling to or departing from ports belonging to countries it described as allies and supporters of the United States and Israel would not be allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz.
West said, “Domestically, they are beholden. They’re being held hostage to Islamic jihadism. Especially in the United Kingdom and especially in France.”
US President Donald Trump says he will further delay attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure by 10 days – until April 6 – as he continues to claim talks with Iran on a peace deal are going “very well”.
An unnamed senior Iranian leader told the Reuters news agency that officials in Tehran had received a US peace proposal, which the official described as “one-sided and unfair”.
President Donald Trump is “prepared to unleash hell” if Iran refuses to “come to a deal,” the White House warned Wednesday, cautioning that the regime “should not miscalculate again” after suffering devastating battlefield losses, as U.S. forces — including Marines and elements of the 82nd Airborne Division — deploy to the Middle East to support combat operations against Iran.

Australia
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is under fire after Donald Trump singled out Australia over its lack of involvement in the protection of the Strait of Hormuz.
Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson said the Prime Minister must stand up and explain how Australia had been criticised by the president twice in a month.
“The US is our strongest defence ally, and so this is pretty grim news overnight from the United States,” Ms Henderson told Sky News Australia.
“This is just a pretty dire situation, and the Prime Minister, frankly, has got a lot of explaining to do.”

The vote in the 193-member world body was 123-3, with 52 abstentions. Argentina, Israel and the United States were the three members voting against the resolution. The United Kingdom and all 27 members of the European Union were among those that abstained.
The U.N. General Assembly on March 25 adopted a resolution declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans “the gravest crime against humanity” and calling for reparations.

The New York Times just said: “Extreme versions of Shariah are a problem in some countries, including Afghanistan and Iran, but they are not a threat in the United States. American Muslims are not attempting to impose Shariah principles on others.” No doubt it would say the same for Germany as well.
“Radical Islamist: ‘The country belongs to the Muslims – you can’t do anything about it!,’” translated from “Radikaler Islamist: „Land gehört den Muslimen – dagegen könnt ihr nichts tun!“,” Unzensuriert, March 21, 2026 (thanks to Medforth):
Headscarf, Ramadan, and Sharia law. Is Islam increasingly imposing its values on us? ServusTV explored this question yesterday, Friday, on the program “Talk im Hangar-7,” airing a video of a radical Muslim who offered the answer: “Germany belongs to us Muslims.”
“You lost your cultural heritage long ago.”
The bearded man, who posed in front of a mosque for his video recording, said:
“We will spread because we are having more children, and one day all of Germany will be full of mosques, full of houses of worship. And against that – ask yourselves – you can’t do anything. You lost your cultural heritage long ago.” There is no Germany anymore. Germany belongs to the Muslims, the Turks, and the Arabs. Continue reading ‘Germany belongs to us Muslims…’
The Orange Bad Man’s powers appear to have no limit. Today, the warning has gone forth that Donald Trump will decrease the number of stories about homosexuals and immigrants told (or in this case, not told) thousands of miles away in the Islamic Republic of Europe.
I think anyone who watches television shows and movies produced in Europe knows that pretty much every story currently told is about gays or immigrants or gay immigrants or those who have immigrated gayly to become gay immigrants.
CNN Just Admitted the Real Reason Iran’s Mullahs Are Scared to Escalate
Even CNN can’t hide the truth anymore.
In a rare moment of clarity on mainstream television, Bloomberg Editor-at-Large Bobby Ghosh told Anderson Cooper exactly why Iran’s regime is desperate to avoid real war with the United States.
“They’re fighting for their existence,” Ghosh said. “They know that if they lose this war, their biggest problem will not be American bombs from the air. Their biggest problem will be their own citizens, who will be hanging them from lampposts in Tehran.”
He continued: “They’ve done so much damage to their own country and their own people for so long that there’s a lot of resentment built up there. They can’t afford to show any weakness.”
That’s it. The mullahs aren’t holding back out of strength or clever strategy.
They’re terrified of their own people. After decades of brutal repression, stolen elections, crushed protests, and economic ruin, the Iranian street is a powder keg.
One major defeat and the regime knows the payback will be swift and final.
This is the dirty little secret the foreign policy blob never wants to say out loud: the greatest threat to the ayatollahs isn’t America. It’s the Iranian people finally rising up and settling scores.
The regime has spent years building a police state precisely to prevent exactly that outcome. Now even CNN is forced to admit the obvious: weakness invites the noose.
The mullahs aren’t strategic masterminds. They’re cornered thugs who know their own citizens hate them more than we ever could. And that fear is the only thing keeping them from going all-in.
Hundreds have been arrested as Iran cracks down on ‘traitors’ following killing of Larijani, Soleimani.

Iranian authorities have announced hundreds more arrests across the country, as well as operations to counter what they describe as “traitors” aligned with the interests of the United States and Israel.
The Ministry of Intelligence said in a statement that 111 “pro-monarchy cells” in 26 of Iran’s 31 provinces were stopped overnight into Wednesday from launching acts opposing the country’s theocratic establishment that toppled a US-backed monarchy in a 1979 Islamic revolution.
Iranians have for millennia celebrated the eve of the last Wednesday of the year with a fire festival called Chaharshanbe Suri, which welcomes Nowruz, the Persian New Year. But authorities urged pro-establishment backers this year to take to the streets and retain control while security forces arrest any dissidents, amid the US-Israel war on Iran.
The ministry claimed that a number of weapons were also discovered from arrested individuals, and renewed its call on the public to report any suspicious activity.
As Iran imposes a total internet shutdown on more than 92 million people for a third week, the ministry said 21 people were arrested specifically for sending videos to “terrorist” media outlets outside the country. It said two shipments containing 350 Starlink satellite internet terminals were confiscated while being smuggled into Iran.
The state-run Fars news agency said some of the dozens arrested in the city of Karaj near Tehran had “burned images of and insulted the martyred supreme leader”, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the start of the war on February 28. Khamenei’s son Mojtaba Khamenei has since been picked as Iran’s new supreme leader.
