It was only a matter of time. The Houthis should have been dealt with during the Biden administration when they were tying up Red Sea shipments and creating a nightmare for the world economy. But Biden was weak and a global laughing stock. Now, the Trump administration is left to deal with the fallout. Days […]
IDF Hits Houthis Harder

An Excellent Idea: Iran and Houthis Offer to Enroll US Campus Protesters
Hundreds, and possibly thousands, of American students – so far 2,000 have been arrested — are about to be, or have already been, expelled from their universities for refusing to take down tent encampments set up in the middle of the campus, for smashing windows and doors of university buildings and then barricading themselves inside, […]
