US May ‘Unsanction’ More Russia Oil Post India Move
By Daniel Flatley Bloomberg March 7, 2026
Mar 7, 2026(Bloomberg) –Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the US may lift sanctions on further Russian oil supply after a move Thursday to give Indian refiners the green light to purchase crude from the nation.
“Treasury agreed to let our allies in India start buying Russian oil that was already on the water,” Bessent said in an interview with Fox Business Friday. “To ease the temporary gap of oil around the world, we have given them permission to accept the Russian oil. We may unsanction other Russian oil.”
Bessent said there’s “hundreds of millions of sanctioned barrels” of crude on the water now. “In essence, by unsanctioning them, Treasury can create supply,” he said.
Brent crude prices surged past $90 a barrel Friday as fighting in the region kept tankers away from the Strait of Hormuz, with some traders and energy executives warning that prices could climb to more than $100 per barrel if the conflict continues.
Heading Off ‘Chaos’
In an effort to unlock supply from the region, the Trump administration has rolled out a plan to allow the US International Development Finance Corp. to put in place a reinsurance program to guard against losses up to about $20 billion for vessels that traverse the strait.

Bessent echoed other officials in anticipating the US efforts to defeat Iran will prove victorious. “Our campaign has been overwhelming,” he said. “They’re trying to create economic chaos, and I don’t think they’re going to be able to do it.”
Earlier Friday, President Donald Trump called for “unconditional surrender” from Iranian leaders and indicated the US would continue targeting sites in the country until the regime capitulates. Bessent said Friday night would see the “biggest” barrage since the attacks began last weekend.
“We’ve considered all this,” he said. “This is in the president’s calculus, and things are proceeding as planned.”

India Allowed Iranian Warship To Dock As U.S. Sank Another Off Sri Lanka
Reuters March 7, 2026
NEW DELHI, March 6 (Reuters) – India has allowed an Iranian warship to dock as a humanitarian gesture, Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said on Saturday, after the U.S. sank another Iranian navy vessel off neighbouring Sri Lanka.
The Lavan docked at India’s southern port of Kochi on Wednesday, the same day the U.S. submarine struck Iranian navy frigate Dena, after an urgent request from Tehran, an Indian government source told Reuters.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said destroying the Iranian navy is one aim of the war he and Israel launched against the Islamic Republic a week ago.
The Lavan – an amphibious landing vessel, according to the U.S. Naval Institute’s online news site – and two other ships “were coming in for a fleet review and then they got, in a way, caught on the wrong side of the events,” Jaishankar told the annual Raisina Dialogue event.
“I think we really approached it from the point of view of humanity, of other than whatever the legal issues were,” he said. “I think we did the right thing.”
At least 87 people were killed in the U.S. attack on the Dena in Sri Lanka’s exclusive economic zone 19 nautical miles off the coast, outside its maritime boundaries.
India received the docking request for the Lavan on February 28, the day the Iran war started, the source said late on Friday, adding that the request “was urgent as the vessel had developed technical issues”.
Its 183 crew members have been accommodated at naval facilities in Kochi, said the source, who asked not to be identified citing confidentiality.
The Dena was on its way back from a naval exercise organised by India, according to the drill’s website and Sri Lankan officials.
Sri Lankan authorities said on Friday that they were escorting the Iranian naval ship Booshehr to a harbour on the eastern coast and moving most of its crew to a navy camp near Colombo.

Iran’s IRGC Challenges Trump To Have US Vessels Escort Tankers In Strait Of Hormuz
Reporting by Dubai Newsroom Reuters March 7, 2026
March 7(Reuters) – A spokesperson for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards challenged U.S. President Donald Trump to deploy U.S. naval vessels to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state media reported on Friday.
The U.S. Navy could begin escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz if necessary, Trump said on Tuesday. The conflict in the Middle East has halted shipping and energy through the vital Strait of Hormuz.
Guards spokesperson Alimohammad Naini said: “Iran strongly welcomes the escort of oil tankers and that U.S. forces will be there for the crossing of the Strait of Hormuz. And we are, by the way, awaiting their presence,” according to state media
“We recommend that, before making any decision, the Americans remember the fire on the American supertanker Bridgeton in 1987 and the oil tankers that were recently targeted,” Naini said
At least nine vessels have been attacked since the U.S. and Israel first began strikes on Iran on Saturday and the Guards ordered ships not to cross the strategic waterway

Hollywood Legend James Woods Leaves Republican Party: “I am Done”
by Jim Hᴏft Mar. 8, 2026
Conservative icon and Hollywood legend James Woods has announced he’s ditching the Republican Party.
Woods, a fierce patriot and vocal supporter of President Trump, blasted the “uniparty traitors” in a fiery post on X, declaring, “I am done with the Republican Party.”
Woods’ decision comes amid growing frustration with Senate Republican leadership, particularly cowardly Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), who has continuously stalled the crucial SAVE Act, a bill designed to safeguard American elections by requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration.
Without this measure, Woods warns, the floodgates will remain open for election fraud, illegal aliens pouring in, and the permanent destruction of our republic.
“Between this and Thune’s refusal to pass the SAVE Act, I’m done with these uniparty traitors,” Woods wrote.
“I’m changing my party affiliation to Independent. No wonder President Trump is fighting an uphill battle every day,” added.
Woods has been hammering Thune for weeks, asking who destroyed the GOP more: Paul Ryan or Thune? He praised young warriors like Wesley Hunt, Marco Rubio, and JD Vance as America’s last hope, while calling the old RINOs destroyers.
Without the SAVE Act, Woods predicts disaster:
Without the SAVE Act, we will…
Lose the House in November.
Democrats will nuke the filibuster.
The Senate will be lost within four years.
More Ketanji Browns will be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Democrats will then cheat a Democrat into the White House.
The border will be opened like a wound. We will be flooded with illegal aliens.
The cheating at the polls will then be irreversible.
Democrats will be a supermajority for decades to come.
Every city and town will look end up looking like every blue city shithole looks now.
America will become a socialist sewer.
OR…
The Senate can dump big corp parasite John Thune, and pass the damn SAVE Act.
Woods is also frustrated with the ongoing dispute inside the GOP over whether to pursue aggressive investigations into Democratic lawmakers.
Woods specifically cited the controversy surrounding Rep. Nancy Mace’s effort to subpoena immigration records connected to Rep. Ilhan Omar, an effort that reportedly failed to gain support from fellow Republicans.
Mace publicly complained that her motion to subpoena the records was killed by spineless RINOs.
“Well, what’s happened so far? I think the remark is always, “Let the process play out.” That’s what they always say—and nothing ever happens. I tried to subpoena her immigration records and her brother-husband’s immigration records, and it was Republicans that killed my motion,” Mace told LindellTV.
She added, “As far as I know, nothing’s going on. Nothing will go on. That’s Congress for you—because both sides protect the other.”
James Woods’ defection is a wake-up call for every true conservative: The Republican Party is infested with traitors. Time to clean house, support real fighters like Trump, and take back our country.

Brazilian healer John of God, promoted by Oprah Winfrey as an inspiring figure of spiritual miracles, sentenced to 118 years in prison for sexual rapes
Joana Campos Mar. 7, 2026
João Teixeira de Faria, also known as John of God, self-proclaimed Brazilian medium and spiritual surgeon, has accumulated sentences exceeding 489 years in prison for systematic rapes and sexual abuses.
In September 2023, a Goiás court imposed an additional 118 years, six months, and 15 days on him for 17 cases of rape, rape by deception, and rape of vulnerable persons. He had already received 19 years and four months in December 2019 for four rapes, and in 2020 he added another 40 years for five additional cases.
The convictions are based on judicial evidence and testimonies that the courts considered credible. More than 600 women from Brazil and abroad, aged between 9 and 67 years, reported abuses committed between 1986 and 2017 at their center in Abadiânia.
Among them is his own daughter, Dalva Teixeira, who recounted abuses from the ages of 10 to 14 and a forced pregnancy that ended in abortion due to beatings.
The victims described an identical pattern: Faria would separate them during “private healing sessions,” turn off the lights, and sexually assault them under the excuse of transferring spiritual energy.
International media reported even more serious allegations of an alleged “baby farms” system: poor young women supposedly held and forced to gestate in order to sell newborns abroad.
These allegations, spread by activists and some victims, were investigated, but the firm convictions focused on the sexual crimes proven in trial. Oprah Winfrey elevated Faria's figure to a global level. In 2010 she dedicated an episode of her program to her “miracles” and in 2012 she traveled to Brazil to record Oprah's Next Chapter, where she explored her methods and presented them as inspiring.
After the scandal broke out in December 2018, the presenter removed the contents from her platform and issued a brief statement: “I empathize with the women who are now coming forward and hope that justice is done.” She has not spoken publicly about the topic again.
This case bears parallels with the scandals at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, her $40 million school in South Africa.
In 2007 a matron was accused of sexual and physical abuse against students; Although she was acquired in 2010, Oprah admitted that the case “shook her to the core” and ordered a complete cleanup. In 2011 a 17-year-old student gave birth on campus and a dead baby appeared in her backpack.
The institution also expelled students for sexual harassment among peers. Oprah's professional friendship with Harvey Weinstein, the convicted producer of rape, adds another element. They collaborated on films like The Butler and she publicly described him as a “bully” in calls, but she never reported criminal behavior until the scandal exploded.
What is not in dispute is that the man Oprah presented as a miraculous healer in prime time ended up convicted of massive abuses against hundreds of women and girls.
In a world where media and Hollywood elites preach female empowerment while ignoring warning signs for years, this case reveals the distance between progressive discourse and real accountability.

Scientists Just Taught Lab-Grown Brain Cells to Play Video Games — and People Are Freaked Out
by Ben Kew Mar. 7, 2026
Researchers say they have successfully trained living human brain cells to play the classic video game Doom, marking the latest experiment in so-called “biological computing.”
Australian biotech company Cortical Labs announced the development in a recent demonstration showing neurons grown in a laboratory interacting with the 1993 first-person shooter.
The experiment builds on earlier work from 2022, when the company revealed that clusters of human brain cells grown in a petri dish had learned to play the much simpler video game Pong.
Those early experiments involved “mini-brains” made up of roughly 800,000 to one million living human neurons.
According to the company, the cells demonstrated the ability to adapt and learn basic tasks in real time.
Now researchers say they have taken the technology further by teaching the neurons to interact with the far more complex environment of Doom, a three-dimensional game that requires movement, targeting, and exploration.
To make the system work, engineers translated the digital signals from the game into patterns of electrical stimulation that the neurons could interpret.
“So we showed that biological neurons could play the game Pong,” Cortical Labs chief scientific officer Brett Kagan explained in a video announcement.
“This was a massive milestone because it demonstrated adaptive, real-time, goal-directed learning.”
“Doom was much more complex,” he added. “It’s 3D. It has enemies. It needs to explore, its an environment, and it’s hard.”
In the system, the neurons respond to electrical signals produced by the computer. Their activity is then translated back into actions within the game.
“If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots,” said Cortical Labs chief technology officer David Hogan.
“If they fire in another pattern, he moves right.”
The system, known as the CL1 biological computer, allows developers to interact with the living neurons through an online platform.
Researchers say the neurons are still learning. For now, they play the game roughly like a beginner who has never used a computer before.
Scientists say the technology could eventually be used to power new types of artificial intelligence systems or control advanced robotics.
