The University of Missouri held its annual homecoming parade in Columbia this morning. As in all election years local and statewide candidates participate. The parade route winds through the university campus and downtown Columbia – with a crowd numbering in a multiple of thousands.

This morning, we accompanied the grouped entries of Democratic Party candidates in the parade.

Like all parades there’s a lengthy period between line-up and the start of the parade. Candidates and party volunteers can and do utilize the time to visit and sometimes stand for group photos:

B-2, Houthi

Statement by Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III on U.S. Airstrikes in Houthi-Controlled Areas of Yemen
Oct. 16, 2024 |
Today, U.S. military forces, including U.S. Air Force B-2 bombers, conducted precision strikes against five hardened underground weapons storage locations in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. U.S. forces targeted several of the Houthis’ underground facilities housing various weapons components of types that the Houthis have used to target civilian and military vessels throughout the region. This was a unique demonstration of the United States’ ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened, or fortified. The employment of U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers demonstrate U.S. global strike capabilities to take action against these targets when necessary, anytime, anywhere.
