Meanwhile, grab your cuppa, and join in! Good Morning 6:12 am I remembered it was my day!! So I saw this over night! The Houthi militia in Yemen launched strikes on southern Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, targeting civilian and economic sites and injuring dozens of people, the Saudi foreign ministry said. — The New York Times (@nytimes.com) 2026-09-08T07:37:44.579117Z Scores wounded as Iran-backed Houthis attack Saudi Arabia in major regional escalation | CNN Houthis strike Saudi Arabian cities in significant expansion of Middle East war | Houthis | The Guardian Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have attacked four cities in Saudi Arabia, wounding more than 70 people and setting oil installations ablaze in what appeared to be a significant expansion of the Middle East war. Saudi Arabia said it would retaliate after the overnight strikes – reportedly involving dozens of drones and missiles – that targeted several oil facilities in the country’s south. The country would “take all necessary measures to defend its sovereignty”, a foreign ministry statement said, demanding a halt to the Houthi strikes on Saudi territory and oil tankers in the Red Sea. Have you Motters seen this story starting? I believe this is a serious problem The orange man won’t be able to understand the threat! Both the orange man & BiBi are backed into corners! Keep your eye on this!! US citizens will receive $5,000 if Republicans win midterms, Trump claims in lengthy convention speech | US midterm elections 2026 | The Guardian Donald Trump pledged to pay every adult citizen in the US $5,000 if Republicans retain the House and Senate in the midterm elections, during a marathon speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas in which the president assailed Democrats as “radical” and defended his unpopular war in Iran. The outlandish proposal, which would cost over $1tn, immediately raised ethical concerns. But it laid bare the extent of the Republicans’ concern about their prospects in the pivotal November elections. “If the Republicans win, you win with us, and you get $5,000,” Trump told a roaring crowd, during a nearly two-hour long speech in which he also urged voters to “pretend that I’m on the ballot” – despite his historic unpopularity causing many vulnerable Republican politicians to avoid the event. Holly Cow Isn’t that against the law?
