A massive fire has broken out on a barge carrying scrap metal on the Delaware Bay. The U.S. Coast Guard said it responded Tuesday morning to reports of the fire and dispatched a helicopter and two boats in the water.

While ship traffic was not impacted, he said the fire was still burning several hours later.
Vice President JD Vance joined the grieving family of a Kentucky man who was the seventh U.S. service member to die in combat during the Iran war as his remains were brought back to the U.S. The dignified transfer took place at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware Monday evening.

Police are investigating a triple murder in New Jersey. Authorities say a gunman killed 3 people before turning the weapon on himself early this morning in Berkeley Township.
The Pentagon proclaims that the United States is “crushing” Iran with its military might. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the results of the war against Iran are clear after 10 days of fighting. Hegseth said Tuesday will be the “most intense day of strikes inside Iran. Also speaking at a Pentagon news briefing, Joint Chiefs chairman General Dan Caine said Iran’s missile attacks have fallen 90 percent since the start of the military campaign.
The FBI found explosive materials in a Pennsylvania storage unit after two men were charged with bringing homemade bombs to a protest outside the home of New York City’s mayor. The police department in Middletown Township, Pennsylvania, said Tuesday that the FBI conducted controlled detonations after finding the materials at a Public Storage facility in Langhorne. Eighteen-year-old Emir Balat and nineteen-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested Saturday near Gracie Mansion in Manhattan.

Police in Toronto are investigating after gunfire was reported at the U.S. Consulate in downtown Toronto early Tuesday morning. Authorities say no injuries were reported.
Toronto police responded to the scene around 5:30 a.m. after receiving reports that someone had fired a gun at the consulate, located near University Avenue and Queen Street West. Investigators later confirmed that evidence of a firearm discharge was found at the scene.
No suspect information has been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford condemned the incident, calling it “an absolutely unacceptable act of violence and intimidation aimed at our American friends and neighbors.” He added that there must be zero tolerance for such behavior.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow also denounced the shooting, noting that it comes just days after two Toronto-area synagogues were struck by gunfire. Chow said the city has increased police presence around both the U.S. and Israeli consulates as a precaution.
Officials say tensions tied to the ongoing war in Iran have prompted demonstrations outside the U.S. consulate in recent days, both supporting and protesting U.S. involvement.
Police have not said whether the shooting is connected to those demonstrations.
How Does The Strait Of Hormuz Being Closed Affect Gas Prices?
With Steve Moore, Committee to Unleash Prosperity, former economist at the Trump White House, author of the daily “Hotline” newsletter from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity. @StephenMoore
Opening The Strait Of Hormuz: Liquefied Natural Gas & It’s Role In The Iran Conflict
With Daniel Turner, Founder & Executive Director of Power the Future (PowertheFuture.com) | @DanielTurnerPTF
In this episode, Carl Jackson discusses the current state of gas prices and the US energy dominance under President Trump's administration. He talks about how the US has weakened Russia and Iran by increasing oil production and exporting liquefied natural gas, making them vulnerable to economic pressure. Carl also touches on the hypocrisy of Democrats, who claim to care about gas prices but have historically ignored the Arab Spring and supported appeasing Iran. He emphasizes that the US has an abundance of oil and is not dependent on the Middle East, and that President Trump's "drill, baby, drill" strategy is working to reduce global prices.
