The World Shifts by Increments


As it is rumored that refueling tankers are leaving Ben Gurion airport and heading toward the Strait of Hormuz, the ground war widens - not in Iran - but along the strategic Bab el Mandeb Strait.

Riyad is said to have moved to mobilize and equip loyal tribes, but a broad ground offensive has failed against areas controlled by Ansar Allah.  

The Houthi state that a pre-emptive strike which caused severe human and structural losses for Riyadh caused the offensive to be aborted in its infancy. The Houthi lay claim to "intelligence superiority" and "High combat readiness."

The broad offensive operation was aborted in its infancy by missiles and drone forc





There are reports of the death of a Saudi delegate to the Wadiea Camp in the Hadramout Governate following airstrikes which are being launched by the Houthi. This news, released from the Yemeni Emergency Forces.



My favorite media whore (I call him the guy with the red cap),  states that Saudi crowds were targeted in Al-Ruwayk, Al-Abhar and Al-Thaniya - and additional camps east of Yemen.  They have images with poofs of smoke to prove it.




I am seeing what can only be called a rough draft for the Iran-Oman agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz.  But with all of the smoke and mirrors, one can never be sure.

But I found this news interesting.

And also, this news:

A new image of the warhead of the Kheibar Shekan rocket's aerial return reveals a striking technological leap: A jamming-resistant space guidance system + a highly maneuverable warhead, meaning higher accuracy and greater capability to penetrate electronic warfare environments.




And in the category of agit-prop - this image will soon be deleted from my files. smile

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
