No One Has Resigned In Three Years Since Catastrophic Afghanistan Withdrawal

Published

on

Today is the third anniversary of the deadly American withdrawal from Afghanistan, when a suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport killed 13 service members in the most humiliating foreign policy failure of the Biden administration. Not one senior official resigned or was fired.

The same major members of the foreign policy team in the White House today, including the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, and the national security adviser, remain in their roles despite the debacle in Afghanistan — a debacle from which the president’s approval rating never recovered.

Former President Donald Trump commemorated the event with a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, where he was joined by family members of some of the soldiers killed at the Abbey Gate attack in Kabul.

“This is the third anniversary of the BOTCHED Afghanistan withdrawal, the most EMBARRASSING moment in the history of our Country,” Trump wrote in an online post Monday morning. “Gross Incompetence — 13 DEAD American soldiers, hundreds of people wounded and dead, AMERICANS and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEIND.”

“Russia then invaded Ukraine, Israel was attacked, and the USA became, and is, a laughing stock all over the World,” Trump added.

The Taliban marked the anniversary this month with a military parade featuring millions (and perhaps billions) of dollars in U.S. gear, complete with helicopters and armored vehicles to display the triumph over what is supposed to be the world’s most powerful nation.

Biden-Harris Hid Info On Suspected Terrorists Crossing The Border From The Public, Former Border Agent Claims

Published

on

The Biden-Harris administration instructed Border Patrol officials from releasing information to the American public on suspected terrorists crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, a former senior agent claimed on Wednesday.

Speaking before the House Homeland Security Committee, retired Chief Border Patrol Agent Aaron Heitke alleged that administration officials told him he “could not release any names or information” on the increase of “significant interest aliens (SIAs)” — illegals with “significant ties to terrorism” — apprehended at the southern border. Heitke was promoted to chief patrol agent of the San Diego sector in February 2020 and retired last summer.

The former Border Patrol agent noted that the San Diego sector “averaged 10 to 15 SIA arrests per year” prior to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris taking office. Once “word got out” about the administration’s open border policies, the sector experienced an exponential increase in the number of SIAs apprehended by U.S. agents, Heitke contended.

After Biden and Harris took office, “San Diego went to over 100 SIAs in 2022, well over that in 2023, and even more than that registered this year,” he said. “These are only the ones we caught.”

Heitke claimed that in keeping information about suspected terrorists crossing the border hidden, the administration was “trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border.”

In addition to a mass influx of fentanyl into the United States, the retired border chief noted how he had to “release illegal aliens by the hundreds each day into

Democrats’ Abortion Extremism Would Not Be Possible Without Help From Corporate Media

Published

on

The abortion extremism that Democrats have made the hallmark of their campaigns in recent years did not sneak into red states and onto debate stages by accident. It is the corporate media’s years-long willingness to amplify abortion activism that gave Democrats desperate to control the narrative on unborn life the ability to make killing babies the center of their 2024 election strategy.

For years, top Democrats have rejected any limits on ending life in the womb. Those blue party members who refuse to admit to their affinity for unlimited abortion so plainly, such as Vice President Kamala Harris, make it clear where they stand when they throw their support behind bills and ballot measures that seek to codify killing unborn babies through birth.

Democrats have publicly advocated for abortion for all regardless of the circumstances in all 50 states. They’ve even pledged to stop at nothing, including the filibuster, to ensure it happens. Yet, corporate media have deliberately avoided forcing pro-abortion politicians to reconcile their radicalism with Americans’ widespread support for restricting abortion.

To put it bluntly, the propaganda press quite literally let Democrats get away with murder without saying a word.

Even the talking heads that dare to ask Democrat candidates and officials exactly what week of pregnancy abortion permissions should end do so meekly and without adequate follow-up.

.@VP Harris calls on Congress to codify the abortion rights protections of Roe v. Wade, and does not say which week of pregnancy should be the cutoff

99 Percent Of Challenged Signatures For Arizona’s Ranked-Choice Voting Ballot Initiative Are Duplicates

Published

on

A court-appointed special master report revealed on Tuesday that roughly 99 percent of challenged signatures collected for a pro-ranked-choice voting Arizona ballot measure are duplicates.

In his report, court-ordered Special Master and retired Arizona Superior Court Judge Christopher Skelly disclosed that 37,657 pairs of signatures gathered in support of Proposition 140 are, in fact, duplicates. As argued by the Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AZFEC), this discovery “now place[s] Proposition 140 thousands of signatures under the constitutionally required signature threshold to qualify for the [November] ballot.”

Proposition 140 would amend the Arizona Constitution by instituting an open primary system in which candidates of all parties run in the same primary. It also paves the way for the state to potentially adopt ranked-choice voting (RCV) for general elections.

Under an RCV system, voters are asked to rank candidates of all parties in order of preference. If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of first-choice votes in the first round of voting, the last-place finisher is eliminated, and his votes are reallocated to the voter’s second-choice candidate. This process continues until one candidate receives a majority of votes.

As described by AZ Free News, Skelly’s report noted how “hundreds of the alleged duplicates were overruled and removed from consideration and 3,333 were removed from consideration by agreement of attorneys on both sides,” and that “[w]hile the signatures were classed into ‘exact matches’ and ‘near matches,’ Skelly [wrote] that he was instructed to ‘not read anything into those descriptions and … did not.’”
