(WE ALREADY LOST THE FERTILIZERS AND THE FOOD FROM THE UKRAINE.)

By Michael Snyder, themostimportantnews.com

Where do we go from here? Peace talks with Iran have totally failed, and there appears to be no hope that the gaps between the demands that the U.S. is making and the demands that Iran is making can be bridged. There are several key issues that both sides are not willing to compromise on, and that is going to have very serious implications for the entire planet. In the aftermath of the failed peace talks, Iranian officials warned that the status quo in the Strait of Hormuz would continue. Needless to say, that was completely and totally unacceptable to the Trump administration, and in response President Trump has just announced a full naval blockade of the Strait. What this means is that virtually nothing will get through the Strait of Hormuz for an extended period of time. As a result, the spring planting season in the northern hemisphere will be a total disaster, and global food shortages will hit the world like a freight train about 6 to 9 months from now.

Negotiating teams from the United States and Iran went back and forth for many hours in Pakistan, but ultimately the Iranians were simply not willing to agree to the “final offer” that Vice-President JD Vance set forth…

So this is it.

Our last best chance for peace just went out the window.

The Iranians feel like they have more leverage than the U.S. does, and following the peace talks they warned that “there will be no change in the situation of the Strait of Hormuz”…

Since the war began, it has primarily been vessels from Iran and vessels from nations that are allied with Iran that have been able to travel through the Strait.

But now President Trump is putting an end to that.

Trump just announced that the United States will conduct a full blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and will intercept any ships that pay tolls to Iran…

This is a big move.

On top of everything else, approximately one-third of all globally-traded nitrogen fertilizer normally travels through the Strait of Hormuz, and this war is already “causing shortages and price spikes”…

But at least most of us have enough food to eat.

In impoverished nations all over the globe, that is certainly not the case.

The United Nations has been telling us that the number of people in the world that are dealing with “acute hunger” was already at an all-time record high even before this war began.

When food shortages dramatically escalate 6 to 9 months from now, things will get so much worse.

(AS I SAID LONG AGO, WE WILL HAVE NATIONWIDE FOOD SHORTAGES. IT IS TIME TO MOVE TO RURAL AMERICA.)

   Israeli settler attempts to smuggle, sacrifice animals at al-Aqsa on the rise, fuelling concerns of 'takeover'

 Israeli settlers have increasingly tried to smuggle animals to sacrifice at the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in recent days, around the Jewish holiday of Passover, triggering widespread fears of an attempt to take over one of the holiest sites in Islam.

According to the Palestinian Authority’s Jerusalem governorate, there were at least seven attempts to smuggle animals on Sunday. Israeli authorities have closed the compound for 40 days, including during Ramadan and Eid, using the war on Iran as justification.

Various reports said that settlers were caught in the Old City, leading to Al Aqsa, with goats and sheep.

Despite Israeli authorities reopening the holy site to Muslims early on Thursday morning, there have been repeated Israeli incursions.

Son of Legendary Australian Cricketer Shane Warne Blames His Father’s Sudden Death on ‘Forced’ COVID VaccineMargaret Flavin

Lefty casino and timeshare mogul Stephen Cloobeck, who once called Swalwell his “little brother” and poured over $1 million into his flailing campaign for California governor, has dramatically cut all ties and kicked the serial liar out of his luxurious $26 million Beverly Hills mansion.

Cloobeck is now demanding every penny of his cash back after explosive new allegations that Swalwell sexually assaulted multiple women, including a former staffer who claims the Democrat raped her while she was too drunk to consent, the New York Post reported.

The Gateway Pundit reported last month that Swalwell has been missing votes in Congress while running for California governor, spending his time hanging out at a multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills mansion owned by one of his top campaign donors.

  Swalwell has visited the lavish 9,700-square-foot estate on Roxbury Drive on at least 10 different days since September.

 The property, owned by Las Vegas timeshare mogul Stephen Cloobeck, features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a tennis court, double gates, and luxury artwork that Swalwell has used as a backdrop for social media videos and TV interviews.

Congressional records show Swalwell missed House floor votes on at least three days when he posted content from the mansion.

Swalwell missed more votes in 2025 than any other active member of Congress, more than even the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who died in March.

 Cloobeck has been a major backer of Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign. He contributed $1 million to a supporting committee, provided resources from his own short-lived 2025 governor bid, and previously spent $31,000 on a trip flying Swalwell to Nice, France, according to congressional gift reports. Cloobeck has publicly referred to Swalwell as his “Little Brother” and confirmed the use of his home for campaign work, saying of one televised hit, “That’s my backdrop. Mi casa, su casa.”

The visits occurred during key moments in Swalwell’s campaign, including the October government shutdown, his November campaign rollout, a December campaign stop, and multiple days in January.

Now, according to an explosive New York Post report, Cloobeck confronted the congressman and told him to get the hell out.

The billionaire is done with the entire corrupt Democrat Party, stating, “F— the Democratic Party… I’m a libertarian now.”

He added, “I’m going to change my god d— party affiliation, because I cannot stand this Democratic Party at all… I am done. Finito.
