U.S. Confirms New Military Strikes in Yemen, Houthis Hit Bulk Carrier
Mike Schuler January 16, 2024
The U.S. has confirmed new military strikes in Yemen ahead of another successful Houthi missile strike on a Greek-owned, Maltese-flagged bulk carrier and another suspicious approach by small boats in the Southern Red Sea.
U.S. Central Command said at approximately 4:15 a.m. (Sanaa time) on Tuesday, U.S. Forces struck and destroyed four Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles prepared to launch from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
Hours later, at approximately 1:45 p.m. (Sanaa time), Iranian-backed Houthi militants launched an anti-ship ballistic missile into international shipping lanes in the Southern Red Sea. The Maltese-flagged M/V Zografia reported they were struck but seaworthy and continuing their transit.
The ship, which is empty of cargo, was transiting northbound in the Red Sea from Vietnam to Israel when it was hit approximately 100 nautical miles northwest of the Yemeni port of Saleef. There are injuries reported among the ship’s 24 crew members.
Equasis data shows the Zografia is owned by Bonneure Shipping Corp based in Pireaus, Greece.
In a second incident reported today by the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a vessel was approached by four suspicious small craft in the Southern Red Sea. The craft came within 400 meters of the vessel but departed the area after the ship’s armed guards fired warning shots into the water.
The incidents follow a successful missile strike on the M/V Gibraltar Eagle, owned by U.S.-based Eagle Bulk Shipping (NYSE: EGLE) on Monday in the Gulf of Aden.
Today’s military strikes by the U.S. follow joint strikes on multiple targets in Yemen by the U.S. and UK last Thursday and an another strike on Friday by the U.S. on Houthi radar systems.
The Houthis seem undeterred by the strikes as they continue attacks unabated. Meanwhile, Houthi leaders have threatened U.S. and British ships and warships are considered potential targets in addition to Israeli-linked and -bound ships.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy has announced a significant seizure of Iranian weapons destined for Houthi forces in Yemen, marking the first confiscation of such advanced conventional weapons (ACW) since the Houthis began attacking merchant ships in November 2023. The operation took place in the Arabian Sea, near the coast of Somalia, on January 11, 2024, and tragically resulted in the loss of two U.S. Navy SEALs.

Hmmm, perhaps if you want to advertise for Gould then you should buy an ad?

Hold it
Wasn't there going to be an online multiplayer game, kinda like Civilization/SimCity/ and Farmville combined? You know, where some are real estate tycoons, some are truck lines tycoons, some are railroad tycoons, and some have massive cannabis farms

FAA seeks to hire people with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ problems in DEI push – what could go wrong?
Chris Donaldson January 15, 2024
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is actively recruiting those with “severe intellectual disability” and “psychiatric disability” for employment in a push for diversity and inclusion.
“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the agency’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”
The initiative shows the stunning degree to which the Biden regime has embraced left-wing ideology, potentially imperiling the lives of air travelers by prioritizing DEI over merit, a stunning revelation that comes at a time when air safety is in the public eye after a “door plug” blew out on a Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft shortly after takeoff.
What could go wrong?
It’s just the FAA, it is merely the government agency charged with regulating civil aviation, our airlines, air traffic control, etc. https://t.co/rW4zPsHNaX

The FAA, which is under the purview of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, himself a diversity hire, states that its “continuing mission” is to “provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world,” the agency employs “roughly 45,000 people,” according to Fox News which first brought attention to the recruiting push.
“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA states. “Individuals with targeted disabilities have the greatest difficulty obtaining employment. This is the only protected group for which Federal agencies may have a hiring goal,”
Reactions were of shock and outrage, especially after the recent Alaska Airlines incident that already had some speculating that lower standards as a result of DEI hiring played a part in the harrowing experience of a door flying off while in the air.
