** US Government, Past and Present: The New 'Sixth Columnists' ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

US officials, some elected, some not, who appear to have been compromised both from within and from abroad, now seem to be trying to enlarge their voter base with an invasion of "Sixth Columnists." (Image source: iStock/Getty Images)

We have heard of Fifth Columnists -- "a group of people who support the enemies of the country they live in and secretly help them," according to the Cambridge Dictionary.

It sometimes appears as if there are American elected officials, such as Reps. Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal, veering in that direction. They recently made an "under the radar" (meaning secret?) visit to Cuba and returned to plead the case -- not for the human rights of the starving, destitute Cuban people -- but for the human rights of the dictators causing them to be starving and destitute. They also both voted "no" to House Resolution 760,
"Expressing solidarity with Cuban citizens demonstrating peacefully for fundamental freedoms, condemning the Cuban regime's acts of repression, and calling for the immediate release of arbitrarily detained Cuban citizens."

** Why the US is Losing the War to the Houthis ([link removed])

* What is the Biden administration doing wrong? Apart from scale, it's trying to target Houthi drones and missiles, and some air bases.... This is the same approach that failed in Iraq....
* When rockets are targeted, the terrorists run away and regroup, but when the terrorists are targeted, they have to keep running, so they don't have the time and space to regroup.
* That is what the proposed hostage deal and the various calls for a 'ceasefire' are really about.
* Biden is unwilling to target the Houthis and so they keep attacking.
* Given a choice between alienating the country and his party's terror supporters, he chose a middle ground of "show" strikes... that will avoid offending terror supporters but also will not end the Houthi attacks.
* This strategy serves no one except Biden who has sacrificed the nation's prestige, a major international waterway and the lives of two U.S. Navy SEALs to win an election.

Why have the Houthis been able to not only survive, but to escalate their attacks? Because the Biden administration was never serious about taking them out. Pictured: Houthis parade in Sanaa, Yemen on February 8, 2024. (Photo by Mohammed Huwais/AFP via Getty Images)

After President Joe Biden came home from his Caribbean vacation, the Deputy Defense Secretary came back from hers and the Secretary of Defense was on the verge of being released from the hospital, airstrikes were finally authorized against the Houthi Jihadis attacking ships in the Red Sea.

Biden said that the air strikes sent "a clear message that the United States and our partners will not tolerate attacks on our personnel or allow hostile actors to imperil freedom of navigation in one of the world's most critical commercial routes."
