Let me make this pellucidly clear

No matter what he says at 9.00pm (and he will be late), it will go down in history as the…ahem…All Fools’ Day Speech delivered in the dark of night.

Spoiler - You know what I love most about Jamie Ding

the 13 wins (so far ) genius on Jeopardy - how he continues to shatter everything related to their DEI bullshit. I also like his description of himself - a bureaucrat.

Many countries in Europe have called the conflict illegal, with some blocking Israeli and US planes from moving weapons

through their airspace

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/31/trump-launches-tirade-against-european-countries-not-joining-iran-war

Donald Trump has launched a tirade against European countries that refused to join his war against Iran, calling out the UK and France, as transatlantic relations soured from the spiralling conflict that has wreaked havoc on the global economy.

On his Truth Social website, the US president told governments worried about fuel prices to “go get your own oil” by force from the Gulf, comments that sent oil prices even higher.

In a tentative sign of a more proactive European pushback to the war, it was revealed on Tuesday that France had blocked Israeli planes from flying weapons through its airspace while Italy refused last-minute permission for US bombers to land in Sicily.

Spain has already denied the US use of its bases and airspace for the war, and on Tuesday Madrid’s defence minister said the country would not “accept lectures from anyone”. The UK, meanwhile, has allowed the US to use its bases for a war its government says is illegal, but has nonetheless received public admonishment from Trump.

In his Tuesday posts, Trump said “all of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran”, should buy US oil instead.

Your best Easter memories

My mum asked me to carry freshly baked hot cross buns to our neighbour one Good Friday. As I walked into aunt Millie’s kitchen she was seasoning chicken. I was in shock - how are you seasoning chicken - aren’t you supposed to eat fish today I asked. She laughed out loud -and said Lord if you want us to eat fish today change this fowl to fish.
I still laugh at that one. Changed my thinking too 😂😀😂.

Russian oil finally reaches Cuba

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czrevyx28z2o

A Russian tanker carrying oil to Cuba has entered the waters off the Communist-run island, Russia's Interfax news agency reports.
The oil shipment - the first to reach Cuba since January - comes hours after US President Donald Trump said that he had no problem with countries, including Russia, sending supplies to the island.
Trump's remark appeared to signal a loosening of a de facto oil blockade his administration had imposed on Cuba since January.
