The Houthi terrorist organization lashed out on Friday after U.S.-led coalition forces responded this week to months-long attacks from the group against merchant ships. A spokesperson for the Iranian-backed terrorist group said that at least 5 terrorists were killed and 6 more were injured in the strikes. The number likely would have been far higher had the U.S. not telegraphed that it was launching the strikes in the hours before the strikes were executed. “The Yemeni armed forces will not hesitate to target sources of threat and all hostile targets on land and at sea in defense of Yemen‚” the spokesperson said‚ adding that the strikes would not deter Houthi attacks against international cargo ships. He said that there were 73 “raids” that took place during the strike‚ according to a Google translation of his remarks‚ although it was unclear what he meant. بيانٌ صادرٌ عنِ القواتِ المسلحةِ اليمنيةبسمِ اللهِ الرحمنِ الرحيمقال تعالى: {فَمَنِ ٱعۡتَدَىٰ عَلَیۡكُمۡ فَٱعۡتَدُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِ بِمِثۡلِ مَا ٱعۡتَدَىٰ عَلَیۡكُمۡۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعۡلَمُوۤا۟ Ø£ÙŽÙ†ÙŽÙ‘ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ } صدق الله العظيم أقدمَ العدوُّ الأمريكيُّ… pic.twitter.com/KoLpz5eEDa — العميد يحيى سريع (@army21ye) January 12‚ 2024 U.S. Air Force Lt.

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has introduced a bill titled the Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act to force the Department of Homeland Security to commence removal proceedings for any foreign national whose visa is revoked on security-related grounds. “Supporting terrorism disqualifies individuals from having a visa‚ and we should not allow these individuals to remain in our country based on the whims of this administration‚” Rubio stated. “The Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act stands as a decisive measure‚ ensuring that when a visa is revoked on security grounds‚ that individual is automatically placed in removal proceedings.”   Rubio was joined in the effort by joined by Senators Mike Lee (R-UT)‚ Ted Cruz (R-TX)‚ and J.D. Vance (R-OH). Current law allows these foreign nationals to remain in the United States at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) discretion. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP U.S. Representative Wesley Hunt (R-TX)‚ who introduced companion legislation in the House‚ added‚ “I am pleased to lead Senator Marco Rubio’s Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act in the House of Representatives‚ and I applaud his efforts to tackle this matter in the United States Senate. At a time when Biden’s Border Crisis is crippling the American people‚ we need an all-hands-on-deck approach to solving this crisis‚ and the Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act is a significant step in that direction. I am proud to lead this effort in the House and urge my colleagues to join me in holding the Biden Administration and DHS accountable to the American people.” In mid-November‚ Rubio introduced a provision in the national defense bill to revoke visas and initiate deportation proceedings for any foreign national who has endorsed or espoused the terrorist activities of Hamas‚ Palestinian Islamic Jihad‚ Hezbollah‚ or any other foreign terrorist organization that had participated in terrorist attacks against Israel and United States citizens before‚ on‚ or after October 7‚ 2023.

The Texas National Guard has taken control of a public park where illegal immigrants have surged across the border amid the state’s ongoing feud with the Biden administration over the border crisis.  Texas started restricting federal officials’s access into Shelby Park in Eagle Pass this week‚ reportedly saying they were taking control because federal immigration officials “perpetuate illegal crossings.” The action comes as the Biden administration has attempted to remove barbed wire put up by Texas in the park to prevent crossings.  “The Texas National Guard has maintained a presence with security points and temporary barrier in Shelby Park since 2021. The current posture is to prepare for future illegal immigrant surges and to restrict access to organizations that perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings in the park and greater Eagle Pass area‚” the Texas Military Department said in a statement.  According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin‚ Texas had set up razor wire and fences at the park “to block the area off from the public and federal government.” Republican Governor Greg Abbott said the efforts were due to President Joe Biden’s handling of the border and that his state was going to make it clear to caravans of foreign nationals headed to the United States that Texas would be a difficult place to enter.  As caravans of migrants are moving through Mexico toward the U.S. border‚ we are making clear that Texas will be a tough place to cross. https://t.co/G4LJfKfiK3 — Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) January 12‚ 2024 “Texas is holding the line at our southern border with miles of additional razor wire and anti-climb barriers to deter and repel the record-high levels of illegal immigration invited by President Biden’s reckless open border policies‚” spokeswoman Renea Eze said. “Instead of enforcing federal immigration laws‚ the Biden administration allows unfettered access for Mexican cartels to smuggle people into our country.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The Department of Homeland Security said in a legal filing that Texas had started restricting access to the park on Wednesday. The filing asks the Supreme Court to immediate rule against Texas and give full authority over Shelby Park to the federal government.  “Beginning around 8:00 p.m.‚ Central Time‚ on January 10‚ 2024‚ Border Patrol was denied access to an approximately 2.5 mile stretch of border‚ inclusive of Shelby Park and stretching south. Texas National Guard (TNG) established fencing and concertina wire‚ and is blocking access to of Shelby Park and blocking entrances through federally owned and maintained border barriers with armed soldiers‚” the filing‚ part of the DHS lawsuit against Texas over the barbed wire‚ said.  Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas Jr. said he was not expecting the action from Texas.  “So‚ right now‚ there’s military personnel and they put gates in Shelby Park blocking access from the public into the park that belongs to the city‚” he said. “The state‚ through Gov. Greg Abbott’s emergency declaration‚ has custody of the park.”

In a recent turn of events‚ First Lady Jill Biden has publicly criticized members of the Republican Party for what she describes as a ‘horrible’ act. During congressional hearings‚ nude photographs of her son‚ Hunter Biden‚ were displayed‚ prompting the First Lady to speak out against the perceived cruelty of the action. The First Lady’s rebuke comes amid heightened political tensions in Washington‚ where partisan divides seem to be deepening. Her statement underscores the personal toll that political battles can take on individuals and their families. The use of private photographs in a public forum has raised questions about the boundaries of political discourse and the ethics of such actions. JILL BIDEN: “I think what they are doing to Hunter is cruel.” pic.twitter.com/xQCIB4yI8B — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) January 11‚ 2024 Republicans involved in the hearings have defended their decision to show the photographs‚ arguing that it is part of their oversight responsibilities. They claim that the images are relevant to ongoing investigations into Hunter Biden’s business dealings and potential conflicts of interest. The GOP contends that shedding light on these matters is in the public interest and necessary for transparency. Critics of the GOP’s approach‚ however‚ see this move as a low blow and an invasion of privacy. They argue that the display of such images is not only irrelevant to the investigation but also a deliberate attempt to embarrass and discredit the Biden family. This tactic‚ they say‚ distracts from substantive policy discussions and undermines the dignity of the proceedings. Jill Biden‚ Ed.D.‚ says Biden is "unflappable:" "His integrity‚ his character‚ has not changed." TRUE: Biden has been a corrupt liar his entire life. pic.twitter.com/zElpm2tamm — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) January 11‚ 2024 Supporters of the First Lady have rallied around her‚ expressing solidarity and condemning the Republicans’ actions. They emphasize the need for decency in politics and the importance of respecting personal boundaries. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the nature of political attacks and the impact they have on the individuals involved. On the other side‚ some conservative voices have expressed concern over the implications of the First Lady’s comments. They argue that while the method of presentation may be questionable‚ the underlying issues related to Hunter Biden’s activities warrant scrutiny. They maintain that the focus should remain on the potential misuse of influence and the need for accountability‚ regardless of the individual’s relationship to those in power. The controversy has highlighted the delicate balance between personal privacy and public accountability. As the debate continues‚ it remains to be seen how this incident will affect the political landscape and the ongoing investigations into Hunter Biden. What is clear‚ however‚ is that the First Lady’s condemnation has brought national attention to the issue and set the stage for further discussion on the limits of political warfare. In conclusion‚ the First Lady’s strong words reflect a growing concern over the tactics used in political arenas. While the quest for truth and transparency is vital in a democratic society‚ the methods employed to achieve these ends must also be considered. As the nation watches on‚ the unfolding drama serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges inherent in the intersection of politics and personal life.
