Japan is considering a significant expansion of its military presence on Iwoto – the island south of Tokyo better known as Iwo Jima and the site of one of World War II’s fiercest battles – as it responds to growing Chinese activity in the Pacific Ocean.

Japan is considering a significant expansion of its military presence on Iwoto – the island south of Tokyo better known as Iwo Jima and the site of one of World War II’s fiercest battles – as it responds to growing Chinese activity in the Pacific Ocean. The Asahi newspaper reported on Wednesday that the defence ministry planned to strengthen its presence on the volcanic island, about 1,207km south of the Japanese capital. Analysts say the aim is to bolster the economic and military security of the country’s land and sea territories. “Iwoto is in a very important position in the Pacific because it helps give Japan a large exclusive economic zone and is important to the economic development of the region,” said Masayuki Masuda, director of Chinese studies at the Ministry of Defence’s National Institute for Defence Studies in Tokyo. Advertisement Japan’s interest in the waters around its remote Pacific islands has sharpened in recent months as it explores the potential for rare earth resources on the seabed. The deep-sea drilling vessel Chikyu in February recovered seabed mud from a depth of 5,500 metres in waters close to Minamitorishima, Japan’s easternmost island, which lies some 1,267km east of Iwoto. Advertisement Experts from the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology hope the samples contain significant quantities of rare earth minerals that are essential for advanced Japanese industries.

Watch: Marine Veteran Protesting Iran War Suffers Broken Arm In Scuffle With GOP Senator It's merely less than a week in to the Iran war and Trump's Operation Epic Fury, being done in cooperation with Israel, and much of the whole Middle East region is on fire. The blowback has been fierce, and as the energy supply disruptions compound and begin to be felt at the gas pumps in American, we expect growing blowback among the US domestic public as well . Washington has already expended untold blood and treasure in the horrific two-decade long quagmires of Iraq and Afghanistan, and US interventions have resulted in mass death and enduring instability in places like Libya and Syria as well. President Trump of course ran on a "no new Middle East regime change wars" platform, but with the massive attack on Iran, here we go again ... And already some Iraq war veterans are loudly calling out the Trump administration over this new 'war of choice' : BREAKING 🚨 MARINE: “NO ONE WANTS TO DIE FOR ISRAEL” U.S. Marine Brian McGinnis got dragged out of a senate hearing for standing up and saying what everyone is thinking. Reports that they BROKE his hand. This is a patriot. pic.twitter.com/RiO3ohgdoQ — ADAM (@AdameMedia) March 4, 2026 An Iraq War Marine veteran was forcibly removed from a Senate hearing after speaking out against the war with Iran. Veteran Brian McGinnis earlier posted a video on X saying he had come to Washington, D.C. to challenge lawmakers over the expanding conflict. "I’m here to speak out against the Senate and ask them why they are going to send our men and women into harm’s way," he said. During the hearing, McGinnis stood up from the audience and interrupted proceedings , declaring loudly: "Israel is the reason for this war. America does not want to fight this war for Israel." Security quickly confronted the retired Marine and began dragging him out of the chamber . McGinnis kept shouting at the senators in the room, and the situation fast escalated - with sec...

Earnings Call Insights: CarParts.com (PRTS) Q4 2025 Management View CEO David Meniane highlighted the completion of a $35.7 million strategic investment and a full cost structure reset, stating, "Our A-Premium partnership is already at a $35 million annual revenue run rate with a clear path to $50 million in the short term, and we believe it will eventually exceed $100 million at attractive contribution margin. All without requiring us to carry the inventory or the working capital. That's the headline." Meniane emphasized four consecutive quarters of improvement in "contribution margin, fixed operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA," noting that the operating model is "now delivering results every quarter." The company consolidated Virginia warehouse operations, centralized logistics into other warehouses, and transitioned Manila-based operations to a third-party BPO, driving a more flexible cost structure. Marketing efficiency improved by close to 300 basis points between Q1 and Q4, with retention channels (e-mail and SMS) increasing from 6.7% to over 10% of e-commerce revenue and mobile app adoption rising to over 13%. Meniane described the company as "leaner, more focused and built to operate at our current revenue scale." Interim CFO Mark DiSiena stated, "In the fourth quarter, we reported net sales of $120.4 million, down 10% from $133.5 million last year. For the full year, we generated $547.5 million in net sales, down 7% from $588.8 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the company's efforts to improve returns by optimizing our advertising spend." DiSiena added, "Gross margin was 33.2%, up 70 basis points from 32.5% in the prior year period. For the full year, gross margin was 32.8% down 60 basis points from 33.4% in 2024." DiSiena noted, "GAAP net loss for the quarter was $11.6 million compared to a loss of $15.4 million in the prior year period. For the year, GAAP net loss was $50.4 million compared to a loss of $40.6 million in 2024, primar...
Before you retire, you need to make sure you can afford it. That might seem like a no-brainer, but some people rush into retirement without creating a budget or seeing how far their Social Security checks will go.

Before you retire, you need to make sure you can afford it. That might seem like a no-brainer, but some people rush into retirement without creating a budget or seeing how far their Social Security checks will go. People in that boat often end up squeezed financially. But while it's a bad idea to retire before running the numbers to ensure you'll have enough income, it's an equally bad idea to retire before knowing what you'll do with your time. That's why it's important to ask yourself this key question before ending your career: How will I keep busy? It's a simple but loaded question. You might think you'll stay busy with various activities -- mowing the lawn, cooking meals, reading the paper, and taking your dog on extended walks. But will you be happy with that? Will those activities be enough to keep you truly engaged? You don't want retirement to be a series of days where you go through the motions without being emotionally and mentally fulfilled. Where's the joy in that? So think about what you want to do with your time and what sort of routine you'll need to feel content. Taking care of your household and errands may not cut it. You might need social connections, physical activity to push yourself, and the mental stimulation of a part-time job or coursework. Think this all through carefully before resigning from your job. Financial experts like to say that you want to retire to something, not just from something. Assess your choices and make sure you're looking at a meaningful next chapter. Otherwise, you may want to postpone retirement until you've come up with a better plan.
