Biden’s passivity invited this tragedy Yesterday, an Iran-backed militia launched a drone strike against US troops in Jordan, killing three and wounding over forty. But this was just the latest such attack. Because Iran-backed militias have launched over 160 attacks against US troops in Iraq, Syria, and now Jordan since October 7.

Conference Championship matchups I maintain that Conference Championships Sunday is the most exciting day of the NFL season.
