A 21-year-old Pennsylvania man accused of plotting a violent attack on behalf of ISIS was arrested after FBI agents tracked him to a hotel and seized a semiautomatic rifle, five magazines and 190 rounds of ammunition, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.

The Tates are languishing in a roach-infested and feces-filled Florida detention center as they battle extradition to the UK on rape and human trafficking charges.

Dazed And Confused Mitch McConnell Reappears After Three Month Hiatus

He's 84-years-young and the poster child for term limits - Mitch McConnell has been a thorn in the side of the Trump Administration for years.  A classic Neo-Con, McConnell has continued to oppose voter identification under the Save Act and Trump's tariff policies.  He blames Trump for the events of January 6th and criticized Trump's sweeping pardons of J6 political prisoners.  

The Kentucky Senator has also been a primary proponent of US intervention in Ukraine, and much like the late John McCain and late Lindsay Graham, he has clamored for more military spending and aid which places the US at odds with Russia.

Mitch McConnell has remained largely out of public view from mid-June to mid-September after "a fall" at his Washington home that led to hospitalization.  He last voted in person on June 11th.  His office gave few details for weeks which fueled speculation about his health and fitness to serve. 

This is not the first time the Senator's physical and cognitive health have come into question.  In 2023, McConnell seemed to break down into a daze on several occasions, leaving everyone to question who is actually deciding how he votes in the Senate.  

Well, it would appear that "the turtle" is back in action, though not as triumphantly as some hoped.  

During the roughly 92-day absence he missed about 60 Senate floor votes.  He returned to the Capitol this week in a wheelchair, looking frail and speaking slowly. He cast a vote that evening for a judicial nominee (Matthew Byrne) and told reporters it was “time to get back to work.”

He said he is “not quite back to 100%” but would try to be present for tough votes. Priorities he mentioned: finishing the farm bill, supporting NATO, and backing Ukraine against Russia. He did not take questions about whether he would serve out his term, which ends in January 2027.

He is not running for reelection.

McConnell's disappearance and limited updates from his office led Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and others to publicly question his capacity to serve.  Questions have also been raised over the lack of cognitive testing in the US government in light of McConnell's condition.  Similar to Joe Biden during his Administration, the public is concerned that unelected actors behind the scenes are dictating policy using elderly and dementia addled politicians as proxies.

UK Mulls Military Support For Saudis Against Houthis After MbS Appeal

Amid ongoing Saudi humiliation as the Houthis have rapidly expanded their territory in Yemen, which involved a 36-hour period last week where the rebels took control of the country's entire Red Sea coast, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) is desperately seeking military help from key allies in the West and regionally.

Already rejected by the Trump administration (other than some few dozen American advisors being brought into the kingdom to help guide a response), Britain is weighing whether to step up.

According to Bloomberg, the Saudi government has issued a formal request to Andy Burnham's government for operational support in repelling the Iran-aligned rebels, given their threat over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and amid the increased attacks inside the kingdom on airbases and Aramco oil sites.

Like the meager US response, Burnham has agreed to send British military advisors, Bloomberg notes, while contemplating potentially bigger action - which has yet to be decided.

The key problem remains that after drones struck the kingdom's East-West oil pipeline, which is expected to be down for major repairs for a month or more, Riyadh is looking to increase its amount of oil shipments to offset the losses. Reuters has indicated at least five or six weeks for the pipeline to come back online.

And now it is both the Iranians and Houthis threatening its exports, and not to mention Shia militias out of Iraq (the latter believed responsible for the drone attack on the pipeline). Oil has soared since last week's Houthi blitz against the Saudi-backed Yemeni government, allowing it to tighten its 'siege for siege' policy against Saudi Arabia.

Not only do the Saudis desperately want British help in Yemen, but MbS is flying to Cairo Tuesday, where he will likely also asked President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for military support.

Reports also say he wants Turkish help, especially in light of the recently inked Mecca Defense Pact - which so far hasn't resulted in any kind of 'Article 5-style' response.

Saudi wants British help in Yemen, MbS is flying to Cairo today presumably to ask Sisi for the same, and perhaps hoping for Turkish support as well

As for where things stand on the battlefield, and amid more overnight reports of Houthis ballistic missiles fired on Saudi Arabia, one pundit has offered a hilariously accurate assessment of Saudi Arabia's performance thus far. Bill Buppert of The Libertarian Institute writes:

I’m not sure there has been a more incompetent regional military power as the Saudis since Italy in WWII. They have the 8th largest military budget in the world. The Saudis pour billions into their military for the very best state-of-the-art equipment which makes the result even more comical.

Their whole army is designed for vibes and aura farming.

They’re the opposite of the Italians. Italy had terrible production, equipment and leadership, but actually fought bravely, whereas the Saudis are given all the equipment and advisors they could dream of and still fail.

Mind you, the current conflict is primarily between the Yemeni military and Houthi militants. Currently the Saudis only provide logistical support and airstrikes.

The whole first book of Dune revolves around underestimating the Fremen.

The commentator then concludes: "Money can’t buy competence" - after Washington and London have spent decades sinking billions into Saudi military readiness and base infrastructure.
