As we reported Friday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order authorizing the Energy Department to invoke the Defense Production Act, a 1950s Cold War-era law, to force the restart of a dormant offshore oil operation along the California coast.

Oil prices have been volatile as the Iran conflict continues, and the Islamic Republic threatens the crucial Strait of Hormuz, the Middle Eastern waterway through which over 20 percent of the world's oil flows.

According to the Santa Barbara News-Press, that oil could start flowing immediately:

A federal order Friday directed Sable Offshore Corporation to restart its pipelines to transport oil from Santa Ynez to Bakersfield.

Sable told the Santa Barbara County Fire Chief on Friday, shortly after the order, that it will begin transporting oil within 24 hours. 

“The Trump Administration remains committed to putting all Americans and their energy security first,” U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said in a statement. “Unfortunately, some state leaders have not adhered to those same principles, with potentially disastrous consequences not just for their residents, but also our national security. Today’s order will strengthen America’s oil supply and restore a pipeline system vital to our national security and defense, ensuring that West Coast military installations have the reliable energy critical to military readiness.”

THE EPOCH TIMES

Chinese Regime’s Missiles Terrorize the Middle East

The United States has been tracking China’s missile technology assistance and missile sales to Iran since the mid-1980s.

Commentary


It takes megatons of chutzpah, or gall, for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its diplomats to carry on as if the world doesn’t know that it is responsible for assisting and enabling Iran’s campaign of ballistic missile and drone terror attacks in the current Iran war.

On March 9, China’s special envoy for the Middle East Issue, Zhai Jun, met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Al-Budaiwi, and according to Arab News that day, Al-Budaiwi “expressed appreciation for China’s condemnation of Iranian attacks on GCC states.”

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the U.S. conflict in Iran will likely come to an end in the “next few weeks” amid uncertainty about oil prices linked to whether the strategic Strait of Hormuz could be kept open.

“I think that this conflict will certainly come to an end in the next few weeks,” Wright told ABC News’ “This Week” on March 15. “Could be sooner than that, but the conflict will come to the end in the next few weeks.”

Wright, responding to a question about elevated gas prices in the United States, said that the war’s end could lead to a “pushing down of prices after that.”

Lawmakers Introduce Legislation to Ban Chinese Nationals From Driving Trucks With US Military Cargo

Two Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to prevent Communist China from exploiting U.S. transportation contracts for spying.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) introduced the bicameral legislation (S.4077 and H.R.7924) on March 12. The legislation, called the Trucking Security and CCP Disclosure Act, would prevent Chinese entities from being awarded sensitive U.S. transportation contracts and ban Chinese nationals from driving trucks carrying the Pentagon’s cargo.

“Communist China continues spying on American military technology by exploiting truck drivers handling Department of War cargo,” Cotton said in a statement on March 12.

“My bill will require anyone handling military freight to be properly vetted to ensure our adversaries cannot gain access to valuable information.”

President Donald Trump said on March 14 that Iran is willing to negotiate a cease-fire, but he doesn’t like the terms offered.

“Iran wants to make a deal, and I don’t want to make it because the terms aren’t good enough yet,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview.

Trump did not say what specifically needed to be included in the deal to end the war, but he said that Iran would need to completely abandon any nuclear ambitions.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denied that Iran had pushed for a cease-fire.

Trump blasts judges who ‘disrespect the presidents who nominate them’ in social media rant

President Donald Trump walks by Supreme Court Justices as he arrives on the House floor to give his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026. (AP Photo/J. … more >

By Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Monday, March 16, 2026


President Trump is airing his dissatisfaction with federal courts and certain justices he appointed to the Supreme Court, writing in a lengthy social media post that the legal system is stacked against him and his MAGA allies.

Mr. Trump took particular aim at U.S. District Chief Judge James Boasberg and the conservative-wing Supreme Court justices who ruled against his tariff policy in February.

“The Democrats on the Court always ‘stick together,’ no matter how strong a case is put before them — There is rarely even a minor ‘waver,’” Mr. Trump wrote late Sunday in a Truth Social rant that took multiple posts.

“But Republicans do not do this,” he posted. “They openly disrespect the Presidents who nominate them to the highest position in the Land, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and go out of their way, with bad and wrongful rulings and intentions, to prove how ’honest,’ ’independent,’ and ’legitimate’ they are.

The post underscored Mr. Trump’s lingering disgust with the Supreme Court for striking down his use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs on other nations.

The decision forced him to reconstruct his duties on imports — a central plank of his economic agenda — through more cumbersome authorities.

“The decision that mattered most to me was TARIFFS!” Mr. Trump posted. “The Court knew where I stood, how badly I wanted this Victory for our Country, and instead decided to, potentially, give away Trillions of Dollars to Countries and Companies who have been taking advantage of the United States for decades.”

Mr. Trump thanked members of the conservative wing who sided with him but decried the overall court as “little more than a weaponized and unjust Political Organization.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said President Trump might postpone his trip to China in late March if he needs to monitor the Iran war from Washington.

Mr. Trump floated the possibility of a delay as he pressured Beijing to assist the effort to open the Strait of Hormuz.

However, Mr. Bessent said a delay in the March 31-April 2 visit would not be tied to the campaign to reopen the oil-shipping channel near Iran.

“If the meetings are delayed, it wouldn’t be delayed because the president demanded that China police the Strait of Hormuz,” Mr. Bessent told CNBC’s Brian Sullivan. “If the meeting, for some reason, is rescheduled, it would be rescheduled because of logistics.”

Mr. Bessent explained the situation in between meetings with his Chinese counterpart, He Lifeng, in Paris.

Also Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the possibility of postponement.

“The president looks forward to visiting China,” she told White House reporters. “The dates may be moved. As commander in chief, it’s his number one priority right now to ensure the continued success of this operation, Epic Fury. So we will keep you updated on the dates soon.”

Mr. Trump agreed months ago to visit China, setting the stage for high-stakes talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping about trade and other global matters.

Federal Reserve tapped Robert Hur to help fend off DOJ subpoenas

The Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors has enlisted former special counsel Robert Hur to help defend the central bank against Justice Department subpoenas targeting Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, according to court filings unsealed Friday that revealed a federal judge blocked the government’s demands for records.

Hur, a former U.S. attorney who investigated former President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents, has been working as part of the Federal Reserve’s legal team as the central bank moved to quash subpoenas tied to a criminal investigation into renovations of the Fed’s Washington headquarters.

The truth about China’s organ harvest and its inconvenient source

By Rob Crilly
March 16, 2026 12:01 pm

Welcome to Washington Secrets and your guide to the capital’s politics. Why is the harvesting of prisoners’ organs in China not a bigger story? We have part of the answer. Plus, a long-lost pair of Abraham Lincoln’s spectacles appears at auction, and has Joe Rogan put his finger on Donald Trump’s decision to go to war?

Millions of prisoners of conscience have their blood tested and tissue typed every year. When their hearts, lungs, or liver are needed, they are executed and delivered to surgeons.
