‘Christian Evangelicals Are America’s
Taliban’: Actors, Journalists
Equate American Christians To
The Taliban
Posted By: Imright, 8/30/2021 7:07:47 PM
MSNBC host Joy Reid stirred up controversy earlier this week when she compared Christian conservatives to the Taliban. But Reid is hardly the only public figure on the left making that analogy.Actor Tim Russ, best known for playing Lieutenant Commander Tuvok on the sci-fi series “Star Trek: Voyager” and Principal Franklin on Disney’s “iCarly,” tweeted Monday that, “The Taliban are as fanatical about their beliefs and culture as the millions of people right here in the U.S. who believe in religion, conspiracy theories, and alternate reality.”This isn’t the first time Russ has disparaged Americans of faith generally or Christians specifically.

The owner of a diner in Florida has posted a sign in the window of her business recommending that Biden supporters seek food elsewhere.She is apparently angry about the disaster in Afghanistan, and maybe a few other things too. It just goes to show how quickly public opinion can shift after a major event like the terror bombing in Afghanistan last week that left 13 service members dead The New York Post reports: Florida diner owner posts sign telling Biden backers to eat elsewhere The owner of a Florida diner is telling President Biden supporters they’re personae non grata in the wake of the suicide bombing that

Video footage surfaced on Tuesday showing the Taliban celebrating Americans fleeing their country with mock funerals in the streets, hatefully parading coffins draped with flags from the U.S., Britain, and NATO countries.The procession took place in Khost according to Reuters. The celebration with guns firing into the sky was held less than a day after U.S. forces pulled out of Afghanistan following nearly 20 years of conflict. It was one of many that took place across Afghanistan.The viral footage was a final slap at America as President Biden’s deadly botched troop withdrawal ends, leaving many Americans behind enemy lines. Large crowds marched and cheered
How radical is the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion monstrous spending bill?Well, it’s not only the single most expensive legislation in American history, it may well be the most far-reaching expansion of the welfare state as well. Democrats have crammed pieces of virtually every one of their agenda items into the bill, including implementing parts of Green New Deal, amnesty for illegal immigrants, expanding Medicare and funding union bailouts.It is also the first American budget bill authored by a socialist. If Senate Budget Chair Bernie Sanders gets his way, Democrats will have spent $5 trillion this year alone
At least 32 California students were stranded in Afghanistan on Tuesday night, as their school districts urged authorities to help them get home.Twenty nine students were from the San Juan Unified School District, around Sacramento.Three more were members of another family, from Cajon Valley Union School District, outside of San Diego. Both areas are home to large populations of Afghan refugees. On Tuesday the San Juan Unified School District, around Sacramento, told Newsweek that at least 29 students from their area remain in the country.
A day after an explosive wildfire forced the evacuation of a resort city at the southern tip of Lake Tahoe, firefighters braced for strong winds and of the 22,000 residents who were ordered to leave, some had decided to take their chances with flames creeping closer to the city limits.On Tuesday, the city of South Lake Tahoe, usually bustling with summer tourists, was eerily empty, and the air thick and hazy with smoke from the Caldor Fire, one of two major fires burning in the same area. Fire officials said the flames were just three miles from the town. Caldor, which has burned nearly 300 square miles since breaking out
Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) was last seen attempting to enter Afghanistan with a large sum of cash as part of an effort to rescue Americans still in the country single-handedly. According to Mullin's spokesperson, the Congressman is alive and hasn't been captured by the Taliban. The office didn't say where Mullin was and if he was still attempting to enter Afghanistan, but it said he is "completely safe."The statement went on to say that the Congressman is willing to do "anything in our power" to bring Americans home. According to one NBC News report, the few Americans left behind are those with dual citizenship who either elected to stay
Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) has reportedly gone missing after attempting a rogue evacuation mission to rescue five American citizens that President Joe Biden’s administration left behind in Afghanistan.According to the Washington Post, U.S. officials are now “unsure of Mullin’s location” after he requested help from the U.S. Embassy in Tajikistan on Monday with his evacuation of a woman and her four children. From the report: The call to the U.S. ambassador to Tajikistan came in Monday. On the line, two U.S. officials said, was Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) with an unusual and urgent request: He needed assistance in transporting a huge amount of cash into the country, saying he was

Exactly 24 hours after the last US military transport plane departed Kabul, leaving hundreds of Americans and thousands of Afghan allies at the mercy of terrorists who’ve never shown any, President Joe Biden declared the mission an “extraordinary success.”What a slap in the face to the families of the 13 American service members and hundreds of civilians who died last week when the Taliban let a suicide bomber through their checkpoints outside the Kabul airport.Clearly angry that any dare criticize him, Biden showed no remorse, admitted no real responsibility. Instead, he resorted to the same tired talking points and weird non sequiturs he’s trotted out for two weeks

The Justice Department notified judges Monday that at least 17 defendants from the January 6 Capitol Breach are now “effectively without counsel,” citing the absence of high-profile lawyer John Pierce, who says he’s sick with Covid-19. Instead of Pierce showing up to court, he’s tapped an associate, Ryan Marshall, who is notably not a licensed attorney and facing two felony charges.“The Department of Justice (DOJ) says in a new filing it appears (John Pierce’s) 17 #CapitolRiot defendants are ‘effectively without counsel,’ and notes Ryan Marshall, who has been appearing in Pierce’s place, is not a licensed attorney,” reported WUSA9 investigative reporter Jordan Fischer on Monday.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley have been called upon to resign by a group of 87 retired generals.In an open letter from the group "Flag Officers 4 America," the retired generals argue Austin and Milley showed "negligence in performing their duties" during the botched exit from Afghanistan.Members of the group, who describe themselves as "retired U.S. generals and admirals defending the Constitution," also wrote Austin and Milley must be held accountable for their actions that have stranded hundreds of Americans and Afghan allies in hostile territory as "de facto hostages of the Taliban."
Last week, political pundit Matthew Dowd outrageously claimed that President Biden “should be congratulated” for doing “unbelievable yeoman’s work” in Afghanistan and now he’s doubling down on his assertion declaring that Biden was extremely “competent” in his handling of Afghanistan.“The fact is the most honest and competent moments of presidential leadership on Afghanistan over the last 19 years was the last two weeks or so. Don’t we want leaders to tell us the truth and serve the public? (Snip) That comment was met with not only extreme criticism but anger by many out there after Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 service members

President Joe Biden received praise from an unlikely source on Tuesday: Ann Coulter.
Biden had just concluded his address to the nation on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, ending a war that had lasted 20 years. The president has been criticized for failing to anticipate the rapid crumbling of Afghan security forces in the face of the Taliban’s advance.
That caused a chaotic scene at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, where the U.S. military hurried to evacuate more than 123,000 Americans and Afghans despite being surrounded by the Taliban and ISIS-K.
How many times has Joe Biden ranted at us about why he is right on Afghanistan? I’ve lost track, but I think this at least the fifth “official” rant.
But this one was the worst yet and you could feel it. He was just so angry. He’s not angry at the Taliban. He’s not angry at his own failures or those of his people. He’s angry at the people left behind. And, he’s angry at you. He’s angry at you for not simply accepting what an “extraordinary success” this all was.
He keeps screaming about ending the war, a point that no one is even contesting
We’ve written about Biden checking his watch while he was at Dover AFB yesterday watching the transfer of those who died in Kabul from the airplane to the hearses (snip) Marine Lance Corporation Rylee McCollum was one of those who died. (snip) his wife, Jiennah went to meet with Biden. (snip) Roice [McCollum’s sister] said. The president brought up his son, Beau, according to her account, describing his son’s military service and subsequent death from cancer. It struck the family as scripted and shallow, a conversation that lasted only a couple of minutes in ‘total disregard to the loss of our Marine,’ Roice said.
A private airplane that was flying into Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) in Kabul, Afghanistan to rescue stranded American citizens and Afghan allies allegedly was told to turn back or they would be shot down.
In the past 24 hours, American officials in charge of giving clearance at the airport told fellow Americans they would be fired upon if they didn’t leave, Mary Beth Long, a former Department of Defense official, told American Greatness in an exclusive interview. (Snip)
Some American citizens, she said, have made the perilous journey to HKIA four times, only to be turned away at the gates each time. As a result of the Biden Administration’s
I ask this question for two reasons:
I have seen enough videos and read about enough officer-civilian interactions to know that the act of subduing a lethal threat requires several rounds.
If an intruder entered my home and threatened my wife and child, I would shoot until I was able to ensure the target was immobilized.
As to the first statement, there are plenty of examples of police officers firing multiple shots at a suspected threat. In the past year, the American public has been thoroughly able to parse through the shootings of criminals like Breonna Taylor and Antonio Brown, to name just two examples.
A day after the U.S. officially pulled out of Afghanistan, and less than a week after a suicide bomber killed 13 U.S. Service Members, Rep. Carlos Gimenez has just tweeted that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) has blocked the names of those dead servicemen and women from being read on the floor of the House of Representatives. Rep. Brian Mast (R), a wounded combat veteran from Afghanistan, tells The Floridian that during a Republican-only “moment of silence,” Speaker Pelosi refused to recognize them to” read names or bring up bills or anything.”

President Joe Biden will address the nation following the US withdrawal from a 20-year war in Afghanistan, after the last American troops departed from Kabul on Monday night. The nation’s longest war – in which nearly 50,000 Afghan civilians, 2,500 US service members, and thousands of Afghan military, police and Taliban fighters were killed – “has ended,” the president said in a statement on 30 August.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki dodged a question about President Biden looking at his watch during a transfer ceremony in honor of the slain 13 U.S. service members killed in a suicide bombing near Kabul airport.On Sunday, Biden and the families of the 13 fallen troops attended the ceremony as the bodies of the service members arrived at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

Tuesday, Biden National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan did not rule out providing aid to the Taliban following the United States’ withdrawal out of Afghanistan.
Sullivan told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” that giving aid to the Taliban “will be about whether the terrorist organization follows through on its commitments,” including safe passage for Americans and Afghan allies.
“[F]irst of all, we do believe that there is an important dimension of humanitarian assistance that should go directly to the people of Afghanistan,” Sullivan outlined. “They need help with respect to health and food aid and other forms of subsistence, and we do intend to continue that. Secondly, when it comes to our economic
With the final military planes off the tarmac and out of Afghan airspace, the Biden administration was desperate to try to paint their deadly disaster as some sort of success. Each of the press secretaries and top officials at the White House, State Department, and Pentagon parroted the same talking point that it was the largest airlift in U.S. history. But CBS News popped their bubble Monday as they pointed out how the “hundreds” of Americans they abandoned in the terrorist haven would beg to differ.

"We are f*cking abandoning American citizens," Army colonel wrote in a frantic series of texts that detail how a group of Americans were rejected at airport as rescue flight awaited.
President Biden declared to a puzzled country on Tuesday that the U.S. evacuation from Afghanistan was an "extraordinary success," while his Pentagon portrayed a prosaic, workaday process to repatriate Americans still stranded in the war-torn country.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) has reportedly gone missing after attempting a rogue evacuation mission to rescue five American citizens that President Joe Biden’s administration left behind in Afghanistan.According to the Washington Post, U.S. officials are now “unsure of Mullin’s location” after he requested help from the U.S. Embassy in Tajikistan on Monday with his evacuation of a woman and her four children.
