Even GOP Hawks Now Alarmed Over Iran War Fallout As 60-Days Hits Friday

Even GOP Hawks Now Alarmed Over Iran War Fallout As 60-Days Hits Friday

Amid reports that Vice President JD Vance is very seriously questioning the White House’s Iran War narrative along with the Pentagon’s rosy and overly positive updates on how things are going, over in Congress there’s growing alarm as Trump’s Operation Epic Fury is set to hit the 60-day mark on Friday.  Republicans no doubt want to wrap things up fast, however, the latest reports say the White House is preparing for an extended Hormuz blockade of at least ‘months’ longer, per fresh WSJ reporting. There now appears to be a significant shift among Republicans underway, given that the 1973 War Powers Resolution requires that a US president must terminate unauthorized military operations within 60 days of initiating them. The stickers have started to appear: from a gas station in Texas, submitted by a ZH reader. Congress must then certify a need for continued military force in the instance that the nation faces an imminent threat. Already several war power initiatives have been effectively blocked on the House and Senate sides.  But amid the ongoing Hormuz Strait blockade, …

The UAE is leaving OPEC on Friday : NPR

The United Arab Emirates has announced that it’s leaving OPEC, the cartel representing major state-owned oil producers, on May 1. In an announcement posted on state-owned media, the UAE wrote that the decision “reflects the UAE’s long-term strategic and economic vision and evolving energy profile.” The UAE has long been frustrated with its allotted quota for oil production as an OPEC member. The small nation is one of the largest oil producers in OPEC, but its spare capacity — the amount of oil it could produce but is not currently producing — is also unusually large. Leaving the cartel frees the UAE up to produce more of that oil — and make more money. None of that would happen right away, since the near-closure of the …

UK households urged to put cling film in fridge door before Friday | UK | News

UK households urged to put cling film in fridge door before Friday | UK | News

UK households are being urged to put cling film in their fridge before this Friday as hot weather returns. The country is bracing for another spring scorcher this Friday (May 1) when temperatures are expected to climb as high as 25C in London and hit 23C to 24C in other parts of England, according to the Met Office. But when temperatures rise, one key household appliance can start to struggle – the fridge. According to kitchen expert Michael Forbes, from kitchen white goods firm AEG, food will spoil more quickly in hot weather if your fridge isn’t properly sealed. That’s why households should check their fridge seals before hot weather returns, and one way to do so is to use cling film. Mr Forbes explains: “As temperatures across the UK start to rise, so do the hosting opportunities – from last-minute dinners to long Sunday lunches and drinks with loved ones. But with extra use, your fridge can quickly become strained, leading to spills, clutter and lingering odours, especially in warmer weather. “A quick way …

Home Depot Spring Black Friday (2026): Best Tool and Grill Deals

Home Depot Spring Black Friday (2026): Best Tool and Grill Deals

Words have no meaning when Black Friday falls in April and lasts two weeks. Originally coined to denote the pandemonium and chaos when holiday shopping met football games after Thanksgiving, Black Friday has come to blankly mean “discounts whenever.” And so when The Home Depot says they’ve got a “Spring Black Friday” sale going, what they seem to be trying to say is that springtime might as well be Christmas for the DIY and backyard set. It’s when you buy stuff. Except probably for yourself. Anyway, most of this sale is not a barn-burner. But Home Depot loves a BOGO tool sale on the Milwaukee tools used and recommended by WIRED tester Scott Gilbertson.

The daily love horoscope is here for April 10, 2026, when the Last Quarter Moon rises in Capricorn, creating a need to approach your relationship with greater seriousness as you talk about the future. The Last Quarter lunar phase brings reflection and greater understanding. Yet if you and your partner aren’t aligned on where you see your relationship going, then it also may be one of release.  Capricorn is a logical zodiac sign concerned with the practical steps required to progress or maintain a relationship.
