Biden screw-up in Yemen leads to massacre of Africans

 Legal Insurrection:

President Joe Biden lifted the terrorist organization label for the Iranian-backed Houthi militia Ansar Allah in Yemen a few weeks ago.

Now the jihadi group has been blamed for horrendous crimes against African migrants in the country.

Reports indicate Ansar Allah, Arabic for Allah’s defenders, is linked to the fire at a migrant detention center in Yemen’s capital Sanaa last week. It killed at least 44 migrants and injured hundreds more, The Associated Press and Arab news outlets report.

The Associated Press, on Saturday, reported the brutal massacre:

A leader of the migrant community in the Yemeni capital on Saturday called for an international probe into a fire that tore through a detention center last week, killing at least 44 people, mostly Ethiopian migrants.

In a news conference in Sanaa, Othman Gilto, who heads the Ethiopian community, blamed “negligence” by the Houthi rebels who control the capital, as well as the United Nations, which has aid agencies present in Yemen. The fire also injured more than 200 people, he said.

Some 900 migrants, mostly from Ethiopia, were detained at the facility — including 350 inside a warehouse — when the fire took place on Sunday, according to the International Organization for Migration.

The Embassy of Yemen in the United States confirmed the latest atrocity committed by the rebel terrorist group.

The “Government of Yemen has categorically condemned the heinous crime committed by the Houthi militias against African migrants detained in prisons of Houthis in Sanaa,” a statement posted by the embassy on Twitter said.

Last month, the Biden administration removed Iran’s proxy Houthi militia from the list of designated terrorist groups, reversing a decision taken by the outgoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The move was among a series of steps taken by the Biden White House to appease the Iranian regime into settling for an Obama-style nuclear deal with Washington.

...

Biden appears to be unconscience when it comes to who the real terrorist are in the Middle East.  The Houthis are Iranian proxies seeking to take over Yemen and threaten Saudia Arabia and the sea lanes from the Middle East to Europe.  Biden's lack of strategic vision and the threat posed by Iranian proxies led to this massacre.

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.
