Trump Encourages Latin American Leaders To Use Military Action To Help U.S. Fight Cartels
Trump encouraged regional leaders gathered at his Miami-area golf club to take military action against drug trafficking cartels and transnational gangs that he says pose an “unacceptable threat” to the hemisphere’s national security. Advertisement“The only way to defeat these enemies is by unleashing the power of our militaries,” Trump said. But with the summit, Trump aimed to turn attention to the Western Hemisphere, at least for a moment. Trump is scheduled to travel to Beijing later this month to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Noem said Trump will announce “a big agreement” at the summit centered on “how we’re going to go after cartels and drug trafficking in the entire Western Hemisphere.”Advertisement___

Severe storms that spawned destructive tornadoes leave 8 dead across the Central US
Severe storms brought damaging tornadoes to parts of the central US Thursday and Friday, shredding buildings into piles of debris and killing at least eight people. The severe weather threat that started Wednesday will largely wind down after Saturday. Competing air masses with record temperatures in the East and the cooler weather behind an elongated cold front are fueling the severe weather threat. Deadly tornadoes hit Michigan and OklahomaAmong the more than a dozen reports of tornadoes, several were confirmed in America’s heartland. In southwestern Michigan Friday afternoon, four people were killed and others injured as severe thunderstorm activity kicked up a destructive tornado.

Nearly One-Third Of Gen Z Men Think Wives Should Obey Their Husbands, New Global Study Finds
The study could provide insight into the voting habits of Gen Z men skewing further right in the last presidential election. According to the study, 31% of Gen Z men believe that a wife should always obey her husband, and 33% said a husband should have the final say over big decisions. Despite women overall giving drastically different responses to the same questions, Gen Z women were still more likely than their Boomer counterparts to say a woman should always obey her husband, with 18% of Gen Z women answering yes, compared to only 6% of Boomer women. Outside of their views on marriage, Gen Z was also more likely to agree with statements more closely associated with traditional gender roles. Gen Z men also agreed at a 21% rate that a man taking an active role in child care made them less masculine, compared to just 8% of Boomer men and 14% of Gen Z women.

Can Paramount Save CNN? Unlikely
The acquisition would give Ellison’s Paramount control of CNN and CBS News, the latter of which he tasked Bari Weiss to oversee in late 2025. In February, CNN averaged just 807,000 viewers in primetime, compared to 1,136,000 for MS Now and 2,612,000 for Fox News. Measuring total day viewership, CNN drew 564,000 viewers, behind MS Now’s 708,000 and Fox News’ 1,718,000. Regardless of format or talent, CNN is not going to overtake Fox News and is unlikely to claw back any meaningful market share. The priority will be integrating Paramount+ and HBO Max and leveraging the combined live sports portfolios of CBS Sports and TNT Sports.

Pentagon Taps Former DOGE Official To Lead Its AI Efforts
LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - The Pentagon on Friday named as Chief Data Officer Gavin Kliger, a computer scientist who aided billionaire Elon Musk’s efforts to overhaul the government last year and who has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online. “The suggestion that I support ‘bigots,’ ‘extremists,’ or white supremacists is categorically untrue,” he said. But the company and the Pentagon have been at odds for months over how the military can use its technology on the battlefield. Anthropic has refused to back down on bans for its Claude AI to power autonomous weapons and mass U.S. surveillance. The Pentagon has pushed back, saying it should be able to use this technology as needed, so long as it complies with U.S. law.

Why is the U.S. at war with Iran? Here’s what the Trump administration says.
In striking Iran, the United States isn’t responding to an attack, as when the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor drew the country into World War II. The Trump administration hasn’t presented a formal case for war, as the George W. Bush administration did before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Instead, President Donald Trump and top administration officials have offered a range of rationales for launching Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israeli attack on the Islamic Republic. So if anything, I might have forced Israel’s hand.” Trump, remarks to reporters, March 3“Somebody asked me a question yesterday — did we go in because of Israel. Well, I got him first.” — Trump, ABC News interview, March 2“Iran tried to kill President Trump and President Trump got the last laugh.” — Hegseth, remarks to reporters, March 2“We’ve known for a long time that Iran had intentions on trying to kill President Trump and or other U.S. officials.

Gavin Newsom Says Stephen Miller, Not Kristi Noem, Is 'The Dark Heart Of This Administration'
Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) shared an intriguing theory Thursday behind the ouster of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, arguing President Donald Trump had only fired her to shield one senior official — the true “dark heart” of the administration — from accountability. “The dark heart of this administration is not Noem, it’s [White House deputy chief of staff] Stephen Miller, and he needs to be next. In so many ways, she’s just a scapegoat in all this.”He added, “Everything she was doing was designed by Miller. In private, Noem reportedly claimed that Miller and Trump had guided her rhetoric about the killings — only for them to leave her high and dry. He’s in retreat in places like Minnesota, because the steel spine of citizens that stood up, real patriots in this country, pushed back against all that.”
