Conspicuous confusion at The Washington Post.
At the top of the WaPo website right now... note the photo caption:
Yes, we're all very concerned that surging Red Sea violence could imperil a fragile Yemen.

Poor Yemen. They had such a good season.
I think the WP meant to say 'Biden' instead of 'Yemen'.
"Conspicuous confusion at The Washington Post."
Yes and no. Progs are not at all confused about their anti-American priorities.
Yemeni fragility is a thing. Photo editors no longer are.
Democracy dies in confusion
Let's hope Brandon doesn't respond like Ronaldus Magnus Reagan by turning tail and skedaddling, secretly sell advanced weapon systems to Iran to fund and arm Central American death squads, import cocaine on the return trips to fund the inner city crack epidemic.
More Red Sea violence on Feb. 11.
Hey, Washington Post, get a proofreader.
As a Chiefs fan, I found this very amusing.
With all the layoffs lately the WaPo may be down to Bezos himself behind the curtain writing the headlines and photo captions he wants everyone in DC to see.
“What do those people want, a war with Iran?”
—- Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff responding to Americans who question the lack of response to 150 attacks
Fuck these Quislings.
But what would Tay Tay do?
I had already read the article about "Red Sea Violence..." and was, frankly, exasperated and disgusted over all the hand wringing by the aid agencies about the poverty, homelessness and starvation that has been building in Yemen over the past 10 years because of the Houthi's militant activities. So all this negative stuff had started happening during the Obama Biden Administration. Meanwhile, Dems like Obama and Biden keep giving the Houthi's sponsor, Iran, billions of dollars. Dems are fools and suckers on the international stage. At least, Trump recognized the evil that the leadership of Iran represents.
Perhaps Taylor Lorenz is running the front page of the website- that or a weasel.
Huh? I thought the picture showed evil people from the US Heartland state of Missouri conspiring to force the good citizens of Baltimore to stay home in their Hellhole on February 11th.
"Yes, we're all very concerned that surging Red Sea violence could imperil a fragile Yemen."
Find Muslims.
Find trouble.
Someone notify the sports reporter who tried to cancel that one kid for wearing face paint. The WaPo just called the Kansas City Chiefs, the Red Sea.
Breaking news: A climate of diversity threatens the nation as an insurgent red sea rises to drown a [black] yeoman.
In other news, the Obama/Biden/Clinton World War Spring (WWS) progresses as the President threatens to exercise liberal license to share responsibility in order to abort the surge of CAIR at the border.
Muslims protest the viability of President Biden's second trimester in the oval womb.
But we're not sympathetic enough to journalists losing their jobs.
This is an AI generated publication from a large diversity of sources with an anthropogenic prejudice (AP).
"... import cocaine on the return trips to fund the inner city crack epidemic."
Naah. He's just insisting that *no* effective border controls be implemented that might have the effect of reducing human trafficking, cutting the murderous flow of fentanyl, or harming the interests of the South American drug cartels.
Joe Biden is Ronald Reagan on steroids.

Amazon Ai (AA).
Well, if violent acts committed in the US are classified as Gun Violence, and in the UK as Knife Violence, shouldn't we be calling this Missile Violence and marching for common sense missile control....with waiting periods and provisions for confiscation? This would at least be consistent myopia.

Howard says: “Let's hope Brandon doesn't respond like Ronaldus Magnus Reagan by turning tail and skedaddling, secretly sell advanced weapon systems to Iran to fund and arm Central American death squads, import cocaine . . . “
Have you forgotten the $6,000,000,000 Biden sent to Iran? Is it a coincidence that all the current troubles in the Middle East occurred after this enormous infusion of funds?
Yes, Howard, let's hope that.
Howard still misses wearing the regulation “Bill Clinton Kneepads” he used to sport in his duels with Eleanor Clift.
That and the cool mint ChapStick®.
Well, they’re not selling weapons systems to Iran directly. We’re just giving them American tax dollars and allowing g them to take it from there. You’re a fucking retard Howard.
The Iran-Islamic State Affair in Spring.
Clinton to China with Obama to assist in an experimental stealth helicopter, and soldiers in cargo carriers, left behind.
Some day, the recipients of Iran's largesse of violence will get fed up enough to do something really outrageous about Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi, etc., such as send a few cruise missiles every day for a month into Tehran aimed at the mullahs, just as a suggestion that they should reconsider their behavior towards the West. Or better, have a proxy group such as the suddenly well armed and never before heard of Iranian Freedom Front do so from western Afghanistan, then have the EU and the US act all surprised about it.
Althouse writes, "Yes, we're all very concerned that surging Red Sea violence could imperil a fragile Yemen."
(sarc tags omitted.)
Yemen has always been fragile because Yemenis have always harassed commerce in the Red Sea. In the early centuries of the Byzantine ascendency, Yemeni tribes were a minor thorn in the side of the East Indian spice trade into Mare Nostra. Things got a bit worse when an Arabian professional thief and caravan raider proclaimed himself God's final and perfect prophet -- can't fault the Yemenis for following Mohammad's principles, can we? Worse conditions prompted the blazing of new routes from Europe to East Asia, first around the Cape of Good Hope, later through the Straits of Magellan both avoiding the Bab-el-Mandeb, the aptly named "Gate of Lamentation" a very wide berth, thus further fragilizing that forever fragile sheikdom, leaving the tribes with nothing entertaining to do but gather honey for the Muslims until the Suez canal was excavated. Yemeni piracy resumed, followed by British warships seeking battle, followed in turn by more honey-gathering.
Now, they're at it again

Hey! I'll have you know weasels and other mustelids are very clever animals.
Typical of Howard to libel the dead and ignore the transgressions of his master.
Layers and layers of fact-checkers and editors...
Oh, right, Howard (8:07) it's all about Reagan. It has nothing to do with QuidProJoe funding these terrorists through his proxy Iran to the tune of tens of billions of dollars.
Beneficiaries of Biden/Obama largesse, through Iran, are responsible for more than 100 attacks on US troops and thousands of deaths worldwide, including Oct. 7th. Of course, Joe also funds Hamas directly.
Democrats are beyond corrupt. They are monstrous!
Hilarious.
That crazy 49 victory had me thinking of Middle east geography.
Yeman

Can someone please calm down the Red Sea? It may hurt itself with all its violence.
Maybe we could call the Pacific Ocean for advice.
Apparently leftist trolls have received a new memo - tie brandon's failures to Ronal Reagan. Which only serves to remind Americans of just how great RR was, warts and all. Sure do miss that man.
WaPo moved away from being color blind about race to now just noticing color for the news. This DEI stuff is something.
Does Ye' man have racist connotations? It hearkens to culturelal appropriation of black Caribbean intonations.
At last we finally got three Americans killed in Jordan so now we can attack Iran.

I don't think most of us care what happens to Yemen so long as they cover the spread.

Thanks Biden voters.
Confucius say that confusion is the wellspring of opportunity.
"In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! - I hope I'll be safe at home!"
Howard sounded intelligent for a week or two but maybe that was one of his kids. Now, he is back to his Jimmy Carter stage where the Contras are "Death Squads" and the cocaine epidemic in the inner cities was the work of the CIA.
Frankly, compared to Brandon and Harris, Carter was a genius.
I pity you, Howard- it can't be easy for you knowing you voted for this shit show of an administration.
The US fucked up Iran in the 1950's. We continued to fuck it up by supporting a torture loving tyrant the Shaw of Iran and his evil epileptic brother the Shan of Iran.
Since WWII, the US has gone from one clusterfuck to the next. It didn't start with nor will it end with Brandon.
Lots of blame to go around. I'm just happy to see all you dogs salivating after ringing the Reagan bell.
I haven't thought ever of putting Biden in the same sentence as Reagan before this comment thread, let alone the same category of presidential statesmanship. Damn that Reagan, all he accomplished was ending the failing Soviet empire without a war, and without trials in Nuremburg. Thanks, Maggie and Pope John, too!
That we are living with the consequences of that success (and also with that missing resolution of trials for crimes against humanity) might be met with some appreciation by thinking about the consequences that would exist today, had there been a nuclear exchange with that expiring communist party in the late 1980s. Remember how likely that seemed, how much that was worried over by Dems, when Reagan was in office, and was literally Hitler?
We need another Reaganesque president to do the same with Iran, a nuclear state in all but use of their planned and in-production weapons, and with China, another failing communist empire with nukes. Biden ain't that guy now, and wasn't ever.
"Democracy dies in darkness" adds a nice exclamation point to the parody that the Washington Post has become. Frankly, it looks like a Babylon Bee gag that they rejected for being too silly.

Well, Howard, just think if Henry Wallace had still been VP when Roosevelt died. The Iran situation would have been much simpler. The Soviets would have had it in weeks. The Shah tried to modernize Iran too quickly and Carter sent his brilliant advisor Andrew Young to see Khomeini, who called Khomeini a "Saint" and the rest is history, as they say.
The Shah's father was a Nazi and, I suppose you wish we had left him in place.
The worst part is, every time the Houthis hit something with a missile they have to stick in a picture showing Taylor Swift's reaction.
Howard choking on that shit sandwich, apparently.
Need someone to give you a Heimlich, Howard? Good luck with that- that is a big shit sandwich.
The buck always stops on the desk of some guy who isn't in charge with the Democrats like Howard.
By the way, the Americans were killed in Syria, not Jordan, something all over X, and which the Jordanian government has confirmed. Why are we in Syria again? What have they ever done to us? By what authority are we there? Oh wait, my bad, Obama put a letter in a file, so it’s all justified. The invasion, the occupation, the huge refugee crisis that destabilized Europe and produced so many heart wrenching photos of drowned refugees and probably led directly to Brexit.
This is all part and parcel of the endless war for world domination that the neocons and neoliberals have been embrangling us in since the fall of the USSR. “Never let a crisis go to waste” is their motto and creed.
It's amazing how CNN feels no compunctions about lying to us that the strike took place in Jordan when the truth was available to anybody who cared to look that it was a base from our Putinesque invasion of Syria. Don't worry though, everything else they tell you is true, and the Gell Mann Effect is a myth.
Remember that the Ukrainian Army is not an "American backed and armed force that is provided with weapons, ammunition, and targeting information by the United States, right on Russia's border and so under the control of the United States. That's a paranoid fantasy of Putin's! We have no control over them! Ukrainians are only fighting and dying because they want to!" But every militia that fires off an Iranian made missile is under the control of Iran, and therefore war with Iran is perfectly justified, even the moral and righteous thing to do, after all, who doesn't love $15 gas?
It almost looks like the real purpose of all of these wars is to cripple energy production and destroy economies worldwide.
"If the US can't have it both ways, the entire 'Rules Based Order' will collapse!" - Twitter wag
These military deaths can not be possible. It has to be disinformation because Biden said eighteen days ago he gave a stern warning to Iran and their proxies to not attach US personnel. Biden assured the country Iran would heed the warning.
Best line of the week from Instapundit,
"THIS ADMINISTRATION MUST HAVE BEEN FOREVER HANDING OVER THEIR LUNCH MONEY ON THE PLAYGROUND AND NEVER LEARNED THE FIRST RULE OF HANDLING AGGRESSORS"
Oh look, the mainstream media, at least in Australia, is starting to catch on that the Biden Administration lied to us to keep the focus off of our invasion of Syria, which nobody has ever explained to Americans why we are there.

This is the kind of bald-faced lie that never can hold up.
Tim, every word out the Biden Administration and their media cocksuckers is a lie, including a and the.

Is that droneball those fellows are engaged in?

Since Howard was yammering on about Reagan above, I am assuming you are talking about the '84 election.
