Preview: Bruins welcome Sharks to TD Garden
The Bruins welcome the San Jose Sharks to the friendly confines of TD Garden, where the B’s will be looking for the 14th home win in a row. While the Sharks are 6th in their division, they remain very much in the hunt for a wild card spot in the Western Conference. He won’t win, but should at least be in the Hart Trophy conversation this summer. This visit is part of an Eastern swing for San Jose, who kicked off their road trip with a 6-3 loss in Buffalo on Tuesday. Team defense and goaltending have been issues for San Jose this season, with the Sharks allowing the sixth-most goals in the league (217, or 3.5 per game).

Should The U.S. Capture Iran’s Kharg Island?
That being the case, the question is being raised about whether Kharg Island, the terminus for 90% of Iran’s oil exports, should be captured or destroyed as a next step in the battle. Without Kharg Island, Iran basically has little to no energy revenue to sustain the country and maintain its resistance to United States and Israel’s attacks. The mammoth facility on Kharg Island can store as much as 28 million barrels of oil, along with loading infrastructure. As one oil trader based in Dubai stated, “If it goes offline, Iran’s oil revenues collapse overnight.” (Source). By taking and controlling Kharg Island, the US and Israel could hasten the moment when Iran must make that decision and make deciding even harder for Iran’s citizens.

Q&A with Pulliam fellow, Fox News contributor
Mary Katharine Ham is a Eugene C. Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Journalism and gave a speech titled “The Left’s Outrage Industry” on Monday night. She is a Fox News contributor, the host of two podcasts, “Getting Hammered” with Vic Matus and “Normally” with Karol Markowicz, and a freelance writer. I’m a fourth generation newspaper journalist. So, I grew up in a newspaper house, not really a political house, but still a news junkie house. Even though I consumed a lot of media, the media was coming from three different newspapers and three different networks total.

US-Israel War, Day 13: Iran Steps Up Attacks on Gulf's Shipping, Oil, and Port Infrastructure
UPDATE 1204 GMT:The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says more than 200 children have been killed and more than 1,100 injured in Iran by the US-Israel War. UPDATE 1132 GMT:The UN High Commission for Refugees says up to 3.2 million people have been displaced inside Iran during the US-Israel War. ORIGINAL ENTRY: Retaliating against the US-Israel War, Iran escalated its strikes on the Gulf States on Wednesday, damaging shipping, energy, and port infrastructure. Bahrain’s authorities told residents in three areas of Musharraq to stay home after an Iranian attack on fuel tanks. The price of oil, just above $60 per barrel when the US-Israel War was launched on February 28, reached $118 on Monday morning before falling back amid Donald Trump’s assertion that the war was “very complete”.

Column: Trump's recklessness endangers the nation
And now Trump has taken the nation to war against Iran in league with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu . Longtime agents and operatives have been eliminated at the FBI, Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, CIA and elsewhere. I raised this scary prospect just over a year ago as Trump’s teardown of the purported Deep State was underway. But it stands as a metaphor for the entire Trump administration’s cavalier attitude toward homeland security. Yet all three “national security” officials — Noem, Bondi and Patel — simply reflect Trump’s own warped approach and blasé attitude toward the homefront.

Spencer Strider gets better aligned as Braves top Rays
At the top line, Spencer Strider looked really good on Wednesday afternoon: four innings, one walk, five strikeouts. When you consider that it was a visiting Rays team, maybe that’s more akin to something expected, but… I thought that this was a nice outing for him. Then, when things fell apart for him later in the year after his really nice run of starts, it was the slider mechanics (and resulting command) that did him in. So, the good news, if you care at all about my divinations into a guy’s mechanics in Spring Training, is that Strider looked much better for big chunks of this outing. Matt Olson popped his third Spring Training 2026 homer, and the Braves drew some walks against Nick Martinez, but this was a low-scoring game for a while.

The Lakers turn a big liability into an asset, using strong defense to beat Minnesota
Lakers guard Luka Doncic knocks the ball out of the hands of Timberwolves forward Julius Randle at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday. But the quiet force behind the Lakers’ recent surge is the team’s defensive improvement. The Lakers were 23rd in defensive rating before the All-Star break, giving up 116.6 points per 100 possessions. They’ve jumped to 12th during the past 15 games with a defensive rating of 112.3. “I couldn’t tell you why [the defense has improved], but it’s a good time to do it, that’s for sure.
