The Biden administration said late this week that they were concerned about the environmental fallout from Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist attacks around the Arabian Peninsula. The remarks from the administration come as the Islamic terrorist group has launched dozens of attacks against merchant ships over the last few months that have led to disruptions to shipping lanes in the Red Sea. The disruptions have forced many ships to reroute their travel around the southern tip of Africa‚ adding weeks to their voyages and additional fuel costs for each ship — thus leading to a disruption in supply chains and added inflation. The most serious attack the Houthis conducted was against the M/V Rubymar last weekend while it was traveling through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait‚ which connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. “On Feb. 18 between 9:30 p.m. and 10:40 p.m.‚ Iran-backed Houthi terrorists attacked the M/V Rubymar‚ a Belize-flagged‚ UK-owned bulk carrier‚” U.S. Central Command said in a statement late on Friday. “The ship is anchored but slowly taking on water‚” U.S. Central Command said in a statement late on Friday.” Photos of the vessel from earlier this week show that it is on the verge of sinking‚ and‚ if it does sink‚ it will be the first ship the Houthis have sunk during the current conflict. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Despite the threat to the global economy that the attacks pose — in addition to lives of those on the ships and the risk that the attacks could spiral into a wider regional war — the Biden administration indicated that it was really concerned about the environmental impact of the attacks. “The unprovoked and reckless attack by Iran-backed Houthi terrorists caused significant damage to the ship‚ which caused an 18-mile oil slick‚” the statement continued. “The M/V Rubymar was transporting over 41‚000 tons of fertilizer when it was attacked‚ which could spill into the Red Sea and worsen this environmental disaster. The Houthis continue to demonstrate disregard for the regional impact of their indiscriminate attacks‚ threatening the fishing industry‚ coastal communities‚ and imports of food supplies.” On Feb. 18 between 9:30 p.m. and 10:40 p.m.‚ Iran-backed Houthi terrorists attacked the M/V Rubymar‚ a Belize-flagged‚ UK-owned bulk carrier.

Nearly 60% of Americans disapprove of President Joe Biden’s performance while nearly 70% disapprove of his handling of immigration‚ according to recent polling.  In polling conducted from February 1-20‚ Gallup found that 59% of Americans disapprove of Biden while just 38% approve. The polling found that he is underwater on key issues like immigration‚ foreign policy‚ and the economy as he mounts a re-election campaign.  “Americans’ approval of President Joe Biden’s job performance has edged down three percentage points to 38%‚ just one point shy of his all-time low and well below the 50% threshold that has typically led to reelection for incumbents‚” Gallup reported on Friday. “Biden’s approval rating has not risen above 44% since August 2021‚ and his 39.8% average rating for his third year in office was the second worst among post-World War II presidents elected to their first term.” Only 40% of Americans approve of his handling of Ukraine‚ while 53% of Americans disapprove. Biden has staked a large part of his campaign on saying he will continue to prioritize aid to Ukraine in contrast with former President Donald Trump. Trump has said that he would bring peace between Ukraine and Russia within days of coming into office.  Just 36% of Americans like Biden’s approach to the economy‚ which has seen rising inflation impact everyday items like food‚ gas‚ and housing. According to the poll‚ 61% of Americans disapprove of how he has handled the economy. The president’s lowest areas of approval are on the Israel-Hamas conflict and immigration. Sixty-two percent disapprove of his handling of Israel and Hamas. Biden has faced criticism from some Republicans for his comments toward Israel while some Democrats have said he has been too favorable.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Just 28% of Americans approve of his handling of immigration while 67% disapprove. There have been millions of illegal southern border crossings under Biden‚ who has claimed he cannot do anything to stop the surge. Recent Democratic messaging has attempted to pin blame for the border on Republicans after they shot down a bill that provided some funding for immigration security but Republicans argued would only make the problem worse.  Despite speculation that Biden might be replaced as the Democratic nominee‚ his approving among the party has remained relatively steady. “Democrats’ latest overall job rating of Biden is steady at 82% — higher than they give him for any specific issue. However‚ the 82% overall approval is far from the nearly unanimous approval he earned from his party during his first 11 months in office‚ but it is unchanged compared with November‚ even as his issue ratings are mostly down‚” Gallup found.

There are countless reasons as to why people love dogs: They can help us stay active‚ keep us company‚ and they’re simply so stinkin’ cute! Plus‚ some people will get a pup to keep guard of their home. When you want a dog like that‚ however‚ you have to be careful. Not every four-legged friend is quick to jump to our rescue‚ as can be seen with the way this husky reacts to his human being “attacked” by a vacuum. First of all‚ yes‚ this is just as silly as it sounds. But also‚ allow me to explain how Immanuel came up with the idea to test his dog‚ Zeus‚ in this way. While scrolling on social media‚ Immanuel came across a video of a German shepherd and his owner. When the human pretends to be attacked by the vacuum‚ his dog jumps into action. This prompts Immanuel to ask: How would my dog react? Husky Reacts to Vacuum “Attack” in the Funniest Way @immanandzeus He saw an opportunity and he took it… #husky #germanshepard_husky #dogsoftiktok #funnydogvideos #huskiesoftiktok #fyp @Puppi_Paws ♬ original sound – Immanuel Tan! – Immanuel and zeusky the husky As you can see in the video above‚ Zeus doesn’t really know what to make of his human laying on the floor. Rather than seeing the loud vacuum as a threat‚ he simply walks away‚ totally unbothered… or so it seems! Instead‚ Zeus’ actions seem to be motivated less by apathy and more by a strong desire to eat food. More specifically‚ the food that belongs to his incapacitated human. By the time the person recording realizes‚ it’s too late. TikTok “Husky didn’t even wait til he took his last breath‚” one person writes in the comment section. “I got a feeling he been waiting for this moment for a while.” “That seven stages of grief went by in dog years‚” another person adds. TikTok Despite Zeus’ lack of empathy for his owner‚ Immanuel isn’t taking it personally. In fact‚ he can respect the fact that this plan was‚ in fact‚ quite clever. “He saw an opportunity and he took it… ” Immanuel writes in the caption of the video.
