The Durak Report March 16, Anno Domini 2026

1. Recent News

1.1. Israel confirms Michigan synagogue attacker’s brother was Hezbollah terrorist commander

Why was he here? Guess he was pretty upset about his terrorist brother being killed. Makes sense, but why was he here?

1.3. Taiwan reports large-scale Chinese military aircraft presence near island

It does seem like some sort of deal was made with China.

1.4. Kent to become first UK county to declare 'illegal immigration emergency', says council

Is the UK finally ready to combat illegal immigration? Hopefully they aren't too late. Seems like their parliament may have a substantial number of people sympathetic to illegal immigrants.

1.5. To Address Farm Labor Shortage, Trump Administration Turns to Migrant Workers

Anti-Trumpers point at Trump policies failing if this is what they have to do, but really this is exactly the point. Everyone is legal.

1.7. Trump thanks TSA agents going to work but "not being paid" after first missed paycheck amid partial government shutdown

And I also give my thanks to all the workers out there willing to accept deferred wages in pursuit of public service. We should push a law that anyone getting delayed pay due to government shutdowns gets it back with bonus.

1.9. U.S. service members killed in refueling aircraft crash in Iraq identified as Ohio National Guard members and Florida-based crew

A salute, a cross, and a prayer for all the souls we've lost.

1.9.1. Capt. Seth R. Koval, 38, of Mooresville, Indiana

1.9.2. Capt. Curtis J. Angst, 30, of Wilmington, Ohio

1.9.3. Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons, 28, of Columbus, Ohio

1.9.4. Maj. John A. Klinner, 33, of Auburn, Alabama

1.9.5. Capt. Ariana G. Savino, 31, of Covington, Washington

1.9.6. Tech. Sgt. Ashley B. Pruitt, 34, of Bardstown, Kentucky

1.10. Trump seeks warships from other countries to help secure Strait of Hormuz

So, maybe other countries will help. France seems on board.

1.11. Top Iranian MP declares Ukraine a ‘legitimate target’

Yes, because Iran needs even more people against them.

2. Extra words nobody asked for

2.1. FCC Chair Brendan Carr says broadcast licenses are not a "property right," as Trump bemoans coverage of Iran war

The important thing to remember, is that the airwaves are the people's. The people discovered them, and the government took them.

However, in return, we were promised that broadcast news must be largely unbiased, or at the very least, show both view points on any given matter without favoring one side.

Democrats in power cry free speech violations, but the airwaves are not a place for free speech.

They shouldn't be coerced into favoring the war in Iran, but they also should not be allowed to favor the war in Iran.

The same goes for being against it.

To suddenly cry "BUT OUR FREE SPEECH!" is insane considering that speech is already heavily censored on broadcast airwaves. If you didn't complain then, it's silly to complain now.

The whole point of the FCC regarding broadcast TV and Radio, is to keep them free from interference, free from interfering, and to ensure all content is family friendly.
