The Israeli military said it had targeted an energy infrastructure site that was used by the Iran-aligned Houthis south of the Yemeni capital Sanaa early on Sunday, with Israeli media saying the Haziz power station had been hit.

A military statement said Israeli forces “struck… deep inside Yemen, targeting an energy infrastructure site that served the Houthi terrorist regime” in the area of Yemen’s rebel-held capital Sanaa, without naming the site.

The Houthis’ Al-Masirah TV, citing a civil defence source, reported “an aggression targeting the Haziz power plant” south of Sanaa.

Armed Houthi intelligence officers reportedly raided the homes and offices of nine U.N. employees, plus three people who work for a U.S.-funded group called the National Democracy Institute (NDI) and three others who work for a local human rights organization. The nine detained U.N. employees work for the offices of human rights and humanitarian affairs.

In addition to the detentions, Houthi operatives confiscated computers and phones from their targets.

March 6 (UPI) — A Houthi attack on a merchant vessel in the Gulf of Aden on Wednesday killed two and injured six, according to U.S. officials.

The attack on the Barbados-flagged M/V True Confidence marked the first time the Houthi attacks have claimed lives, U.S. officials told the BBC and CNN. Two crewmen were killed and six injured in the attack, which occurred at about 11:30 a.m. local time.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center said the ship was“reported to have been hit and has suffered damage” about 54 nautical miles southwest of Aden, Yemen.

The Houthis earlier had warned of further attacks in response to airstrikes by American and British warplanes in recent days.

They tell us protest is what the United States is built upon.  We’ve seen “protests” go wrong, ending up in mass looting events, with no effort to put a stop to it. Protesters have free reign, because they’ve got arguments!  Police have to suppress any feelings and put up with their antics. 

Well now there are protests from the other side. Nothing is being stolen, but…traffic is backed up. Apparently the farmers in Europe have had just about enough of the government’s high and mighty rules and regulations. This is happening in Germany and all over Europe. There are details in the demands, but you get the picture. They say it’s all about government subsidies. I think it’s about global warming mandates.  

The concept of protest is the darling of the left. They can be so self righteous in their insistence that something is unfair. What happens when the tables are turned? Have you seen the pictures of the tractors at the Brandenburg Gate? All this lecturing, contrary to common sense, has gotten old.

There are big meetings going on and about to go on in Europe. They talk about the “transition to green energy” as if it’s an article of faith. But there’s a huge wild card, unspoken. You know who. If he should defy all the odds, win the legal cases, all their pie in the sky speeches may mean nothing.

Finally America has struck back against the Houthis. We’ve bombed them high and low, and hope they’ve gotten the message. They’ve been menacing world shipping in the Red Sea for a while now, and that’s a big deal. Much was made of the fact that nothing had been done to make them stop, but finally the U.S. hit them with dozens of airstrikes. Mind you, they are “coalition” air strikes, that way they have to take revenge on lots of us. Many nations have stayed out of the fray, hoping they won’t become a target.  

As much as I’ve enjoyed the scandals of Fani Willis, dare not go into it here.  You’ll have to look on your own if interested.  I don’t think they’re banking on losing to Trump’s lawyers, but it may turn out that way, assuming the judges aren’t swayed by the common logic.  But they may be.  They’ve tried to ban Trump from the ballot, on the pretext that he caused “an insurrection.” Colorado ruled against allowing him to participate based on their own conclusions, borne of kindergarten talk.  Other states have gone down this road, to no avail.  

Meanwhile everybody’s worried about our “democracy.” They think democracy is fine, as long as the authoritarians get to tell us what’s up.

Texas Governor Gregg Abbott has apparently decided that the flood of illegal immigrants has gone far enough. He sent the Texas National Guard to replace federal border agents, taking control of significant acreage comprising a state park in Eagle Pass.  (Why didn’t this happen about 10 million ago?)  He sent in the state’s national guard to dislodge the federal agents who are choreographing the invasion. And wouldn’t you know it.  The Biden regime is suing!  You’re going to love their statement. “Texas’ new actions demonstrate an escalation of the State’s measures to block Border Patrol’s ability to patrol or even to surveil the border and be in a position to respond to emergencies.” It seems that we already have an emergency, that the feds are facilitating.  Just a personal observation.

If they over-run Texas, and end up being able to vote, we’re done. Texas has been a bulwark for conservatism. If this state gets over-run, it may well be a harbinger of things to come.

The U.S. Air Force’s Mideast command said it struck over 60 targets at 16 sites in Yemen, including “command-and-control nodes, munitions depots, launching systems, production facilities and air defense radar systems.”

President Joe Biden said the strikes were meant to demonstrate that the U.S. and its allies “will not tolerate” the militant group’s ceaseless attacks on the Red Sea. And he said they only made the move after attempts at diplomatic negotiations and careful deliberation.

The attack occurred at about 9:15 a.m. local time, with Iran-designed one-way attack drones and anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen toward dozens of shipping vessels transiting the Red Sea, U.S. Central Command said in a statement published on X.

There were no indications that any shipping vessels were damaged in the volley, with U.S. and British warships shooting down 18 drones, two anti-ship cruise missiles and an anti-ship ballistic missile, it said.

The US launched a multinational naval task force to counter Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden on Monday. Observers were quick to notice it featured just one country from the Middle East: Bahrain.

Ten nations were officially announced as participants: the US, UK, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles, Spain and Bahrain. They are set to share maritime intelligence in the region and conduct joint patrols.

The naval group will be coordinated by the Combined Task Force 153 (CTF-153), a US-led initiative set up last April to provide maritime security in the Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb and the Gulf of Aden.

Global supply chains are once again under threat, as the impact of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas ripples out across the Middle East.

In recent weeks, Houthi militants based in Yemen have stepped up their attacks on commercial shipping vessels travelling through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, in response to Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza.

Tankers and cargo ships have been targeted by drone and missile attacks launched from Yemen – and although the damage caused has been minimal in most cases, the threat alone has left trade routes through the Red Sea at a near standstill.
