Iran calling the shots for Houthis

 DC Daily Journal:

...

After a bruising year of losses across the Middle East, Iran is doubling down on its sway over Yemen’s Houthi terrorist group to keep its regional ambitions alive.

With its proxy forces faltering in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, Tehran is pivoting to the Houthis as a key weapon in its arsenal, according to a revealing new report.

Insider sources linked to the Iranian resistance group People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, embedded in Tehran, have uncovered a web of influence tying Iran’s top brass to Houthi operations.

The findings, detailed in a report from the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and first shared with Fox News Digital, point to senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials calling the shots. Even Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is said to have his hands deep in the mix, personally overseeing the group’s moves.

“According to reports received from within the IRGC, Khamenei has personally emphasized the importance of Houthi attacks and the necessity of sending weapons and equipment for the Houthis to IRGC commanders and regime officials,” the report states.

The report zeroes in on IRGC Brig. Gen. Abdolreza Shahlai, a high-ranking Quds Force commander, as the linchpin.
...

Ever since the Islamic radicals' coup against the Shah Iran has had a malign influence in the region. The Houthis have become a threat to shipping in the area and to other leaders in the area.  Yemen is worse off because of the Houthis and the Iranian influence.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...
