What do you suppose caught people’s consideration as we close out this moderately eventful March? Grab a cup of espresso (or one thing stronger if you are so inclined), and sit down with this twenty first Century Weekend Edition of your favourite (online) publication.

#1 – Russia Just Delivered a Big Message to Iran About What It Should Do in Response to the U.S. — by Nick Arama

Democrats are livid that President Donald Trump took motion against Iran with Operation Epic Fury. 

But one of the issues that you will not hear from them is how his motion places paid to one of their favourite fictions about Trump – the Russia collusion fiction, that Trump is by some means in the pocket of Russia. Well, he is pounding one of their principal allies, which he wouldn’t do if he have been in Putin’s pocket. So once again, the Democrat narrative will get blown up.

#2 – It’s Over: Powerful North Carolina Senate Leader Concedes GOP Primary Race in shocking Defeat — by Sister Toldjah

Berger’s concession brings the entire to 9 NC General Assembly incumbents – three Democrats and six Republicans – who misplaced their reelection bids nicely before the final election.

As we famous before, Berger has been serving in the NC General Assembly since 2001. In 2011, he grew to become State Senate chief and has been called the most highly effective man in state politics. He has been instrumental in many GOP legislative victories on points like redistricting (as lately as late 2025), crime, the Second Amendment, ICE cooperation, anti-DEI in public colleges, elevated oversight of larger training, pro-life and anti-trans causes, and neutering the ability of the governor while growing the ability of the legislature – against the objections of our Democrat governors, of course.

#3 – Sen. John Kennedy Goes Full Beast Mode on Cowardly Colleague: ‘By God, Stand Up and Face the Unpaid!’ — by Ward Clark

Senator Kennedy shouted:

If a member of this physique disagrees with what I’m doing, they by God they ought to come down right here and stand up in entrance of the United States Senate, and stand up in entrance of the American people, and stand up in entrance of God and stand up in entrance of (the) nation, and stand up in entrance of all these people, these good people who aren’t being paid, and say ‘this is why.’ Maybe we need to change the Senate rule, Mr. President.

Unless we later study that Senator Schatz did, as Senator Kennedy graciously steered, all of a sudden fall in poor health, then this was a completely shameful efficiency. This is the United States Senate. This august establishment is meant to embody members who can marshal arguments and current them coherently. It is unworthy of the Senate to home a coward who yells out an objection and flees, just to halt a decision – a decision aimed at upping the motivation to get TSA brokers, federal staff, paid again.

#4 – UAE Minister’s Brilliant Response to Iran’s Attacks – They Aren’t Going to Like This — by Nick Arama

Nusseibeh said Iran fired over 2,200 missiles and drones at the UAE, moderately than negotiate over “well-understood concerns” about its nuclear program, over its ballistic missile program, and over its assist for non-state terrorist actors. 

Iran apparently thought this would cut up the UAE off and make them encourage the U.S. to stop. But the alternative is true, “This is a really ruthless regime, and President Trump is right to hold it to account today,” she declared. 

Iran has just ticked them off even more, just like with Saudi Arabia.

#5 – Democrat Implosions Imminent After Scott Bessent Announces Historic Change to U.S. Paper Currency — by Sister Toldjah

Trump’s and Bessent’s names showing on the currency also symbolize another historic change:

[Trump’s] title will seem alongside that of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. As a end result, the U.S. treasurer, whose title has been on the currency for more than a century, is not going to seem on the currency.

The news follows approval last week of a 24-karat commemorative gold coin that will characteristic Trump’s image.

The federal Commission of Fine Arts formally voted Thursday to approve a new 24-karat commemorative gold coin that includes President Trump, amid backlash from Democrats and other stakeholders. https://t.co/yUY5iKw0ZA pic.twitter.com/F7krQMjX3s
