Fertilizer prices have skyrocketed since the conflict began, with costs climbing as much as 40% in just three months—forcing farmers to pay an extra $50 per acre, a crushing blow to their budgets. This ripple effect is driving up the cost of everything from corn and soybeans to strawberries and meat, as pricier animal feed translates to higher beef, chicken, and pork prices. While some farmers can pivot by planting less, others with fixed crops like orchards or vineyards can’t easily adjust. A recent dip in prices offers hope, but with planting seasons already behind us and fuel costs also...

Three Dead in Millvale Shooting

Jessica Simpson Concert Cancelled in Dayton

A controversial bill to make daylight saving time permanent is gaining momentum, with President Trump supporting the move—but health experts and Orthodox Jewish communities are pushing back. While the bill has passed a House committee, critics argue permanent daylight saves winter mornings too dark for safety and disrupts religious prayer schedules tied to sunrise. Some lawmakers are now considering a compromise: shifting clocks forward half an hour permanently, though that too faces criticism for complicating time zones. The debate heats up as the main bill heads toward a full House vote.

Vice President Vance just landed in Switzerland to kick off high-stakes nuclear talks with Iran — the first direct U.S.-Iran summit since April. With Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz over Israel’s alleged ceasefire violations, tensions are sky-high. Vance’s focus? Building a framework for 60 days of negotiations while also pushing for peace in Lebanon. He’s confident Secretary Rubio is handling the regional fallout, and despite the chaos, Vance says things are calming — but the work is far from over.

Sal Stewart exploded on Saturday, smashing his career-high with six RBIs as the Reds obliterated the Yankees 10-2. His bases-clearing double late in the game sealed the win, while his six-RBI performance against the Giants earlier this month proves this rookie isn’t a fluke. The Reds’ offense was on fire, tallying 15 hits including four unearned runs in the fifth thanks to a Yankees fielding error — Spencer Steer’s three-run homer capped that surge. Even without Elly De La Cruz on rehab assignment, the Reds kept rolling. Starter Andrew Abbott shut the door with five innings, one run, five hits, wh...

Trump’s throwing down the gauntlet on the Strait of Hormuz, warning that if Iran doesn’t finalize a deal within 60 days, the U.S. could start charging tolls for passage—calling itself the region’s “Guardian Angel.” With global oil prices already rattled by past disruptions, this move could send markets into chaos. Meanwhile, conflicting claims swirl: VP Vance says the strait’s open and bustling, while Iran threatens to shut it down again over Israeli strikes and U.S. “bad faith.” U.S. Central Command denies Iran’s claims, and talks are set to resume in Switzerland—making those 60 days f...

Ohio’s controversial social media consent law is back in effect after a federal court upheld its constitutionality, declaring it a necessary safeguard against the harmful effects of unmonitored online platforms on children under sixteen. The ruling, delivered by the Sixth Circuit, sided with state officials who argue that parents—not tech giants—should control what kids see online, especially amid growing concerns about mental health and algorithmic addiction. The law now requires platforms to obtain parental permission and disclose privacy policies, empowering families to make informed decisions in a digital landscape deemed increasingly dangerous for youth.

The Grand Canyon is turning deadly hot, with temps soaring to 110°F at Phantom Ranch and officials warning against midday hikes. Two hikers died recently from heat illness, and the canyon’s deadly heat gradient—20-25°F hotter at the bottom than the rim—makes even downhill trails perilous. With wildfire risks rising across the West and monsoon season still months away, experts urge everyone to stay hydrated, plan smart, and avoid the canyon’s deadly heat.

Trump promises no tolls on ships through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days, framing U.S. military protection as a “Guardian Angel” role — but warns future compensation may come if talks with Iran stall.

The vital waterway remains open — for now — as tensions simmer and the world watches for signs of lasting peace or renewed disruption.

Beef prices are soaring as a deadly screwworm outbreak in Mexico spills over into the U.S., hitting a market already strained by historic low cattle numbers and drought. Compounding the crisis, the shaky future of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal threatens to disrupt cross-border cattle flows — a lifeline for supply stability. With Canada already blocking cattle from affected zones and looming tariffs or delays on the horizon, ranchers fear a repeat of the soybean crisis when export markets vanish. Consumers are already feeling the squeeze — and prices could climb even higher if trade unravels.
