Good morning. It’s Saturday, March 15.

 

President Trump pledged Saturday to unleash “hell” on Iranian-backed Houthi rebels until they stop attacking ships in the critical maritime corridor.

“Today, I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post announcing the strikes.

“They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones,” he continued.

President Donald Trump’s administration is considering implementing travel restrictions for the citizens of as many as 43 countries, it has been reported.

A draft list of recommendations has been drawn up by security officials, placing the countries into three different categories — red, orange and yellow — according to The New York Times, citing unnamed U.S. officials.

The red list comprises 11 countries whose citizens would face a complete ban, while the other two lists of countries would face various degrees of visa restrictions, according to the newspaper.

Over a dozen people have died in severe storms as tornadoes and fires wreak havoc on dozens of states.

At least 11 deaths have been reported in Missouri as deadly tornadoes tore through the Midwest on Friday evening, with three more people losing their lives in Texas to car accidents caused by the severe weather.

Numerous more people are reportedly injured as huge storms flipped cars and destroyed homes, as hurricane-strength winds unleashed severe thunderstorms, whipped up deadly dust storms and fanned over 100 wildfires.

SpaceX’s Crew-10 launched into space Friday to bring home two NASA astronauts who have been stuck at the International Space Station (ISS) since June 6.

The crew of four geared up in the “suit-up room” amid photos of the Apollo crew, before driving to the launchpad in multiple Teslas adorned with “LIF10FF” license plates — an ode to the mission number.

Each astronaut received a medical check before being briefed by SpaceX and NASA. Later, they partook in various traditions, including a card game to eliminate any bad luck.

Warren Buffett is likely selling his real estate empire – the latest warning sign that the property market is in dire straits.

The real estate market has been on the skids in recent years. Brokerage companies have attempted to consolidate as home sales remain very low.

Compass, the largest real estate brokerage in the country, is in advanced talks to acquire Berkshire Hathaway’s HomeServices of America, the fourth-biggest player in the industry, according to The Wall Street Journal.

A jury in California on Friday ordered Starbucks to pay $50 million in damages to a delivery driver who was severely burned by an improperly secured lid on hot beverages.

Michael Garcia was picking up drinks at a drive-through in Los Angeles when he “suffered severe burns, disfigurement, and debilitating nerve damage to his genitals when hot drinks ultimately spilled” onto his lap, according to the lawsuit filed in California Superior Court in 2020.

The lawsuit accused Starbucks of breaching its duty of care by failing to secure the lid.

State Rep. Stan Gerdes, R-Smithville, introduced the FURRIES Act (Forbidden Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education) on Thursday to prohibit Texas public schools from allowing furry subculture behavior in classrooms and on campuses. The furry subculture involves individuals adopting anthropomorphic animal identities who often dress in costumes and attempt to mimic animal behavior.

“I can’t believe we have to do this, but we cannot allow these types of role-playing distractions to affect our students who are trying to learn or our teachers and administrators who are trying to teach,” Gerdes said in a statement. “We just have to keep this nonsense out of our schools.

“No distractions. No theatrics. Just education,” he said. “While school mascots, theater performances, and dress-up days remain part of school spirit, this bill ensures that students and teachers can focus on academics – not on bizarre and unhealthy disruptions. Texas schools are for educating kids, not indulging in radical trends.”
