Four out of five Guantanamo detainees whom former President Barack Obama released in exchange for former U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in 2014 now hold senior positions in the interim government created by the Taliban in Afghanistan.According to the Afghan television network TOLOnews, the Taliban-formed government gave leadership positions to Khairullah Khairkhwa, Norullah Noori, Abdul Haq Wasiq, and Mohammad Fazl; all of whom were released in a 2014 deal between the Obama administration and the Taliban to free Bergdahl, whom the Taliban had held as a prisoner since 2009.

Google has launched 'racial equity training' for its employees, with one session asserting that America is based on a 'system of white supremacy' where babies learn to be racist at three months old. Whistleblower documents from the trainings obtained by City Journal reporter Christopher Rufo were published Wednesday, with the sessions seemingly based on the core principles of Critical Race Theory. Several of the trainings feature CRT buzzwords and phrases such as 'equity' 'intersectionality,' 'white privilege,' and 'systemic racism'.
Taliban authorities have agreed to let 200 American civilians and other non-Afghans to depart on charter flights from Kabul airport, a U.S. official said.The Taliban were pressed to allow the departures by U.S. Special Representative Zalmay Khalilzad, said the official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity on Thursday.The departures were expected on Thursday, and an exact breakdown of how many US citizens and people from other nations will be on the flight has not been shared.The official could not say whether these Americans and third-country nationals were among people who have been stranded
It isn’t hard to make the case against vaccine passports: Requiring proof of vaccination is unnecessarily burdensome to business and a violation of individual privacy. It is also suspiciously similar to Communist China’s social-credit system. No sane person wants to live in a sci-fi world where you have to offer biomedical information to drink a coffee or enter a church. Amusingly enough, liberals, the people most likely to support vaccine passports, have long made contradictory arguments. For years, we have heard Democrats insist that asking voters to present identification is a fundamental violation of civil rights,
Covering up Fauci’s role in COVID leak
0 replies
Powerful people are going to a lot of effort to protect Dr. Anthony Fauci’s reputation, despite mounting evidence of his role in funding dangerous research on bat coronaviruses in the Chinese laboratory believed to be the most likely source of the pandemic. It is clear that Fauci, the White House chief medical adviser, misled Congress when he denied that US money had paid for “gain-of-function” research in the Wuhan lab. Grant documents published this week by The Intercept show that the organization Fauci heads, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,
Kellyanne Conway hit back at President Biden on Wednesday after he demanded her resignation from a military service academy advisory board, saying: 'I'm not resigning but you should.'She was one of 12 officials appointed by President Trump told to either resign or be fired at 6pm, provoking accusations that the Biden administration was politicizing what should be non-partisan advisory groups.The officials include Trump's White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster as well as Conway, a former Counsellor to the President Kellyanne Conway.
Police are reportedly planning to reinstall the fence that surrounded the U.S. Capitol for months after the January 6 protest in response to a rally on September 18 demanding “justice” for jailed Capitol protesters. According to the Associated Press, which cited an anonymous source, a security plan “is being finalized” to put fencing outside the inner perimeter of the Capitol building and the Supreme Court. “The fence had been a stark symbol of the fear many in the Capitol felt after the mob pushed its way past overwhelmed police officers, broke through windows and doors and ransacked the Capitol
California governor hopeful Larry Elder had an egg thrown at him by a woman in a gorilla mask as he toured a homeless encampment on Venice Beach. The unidentified woman - whose choice of headwear has been branded racist by some conservative commentators online - was also filmed punching a man who told her to calm down. Wednesday's incident, which was captured on video by Spectrum News reporter Kate Cagle and posted to Twitter, shows the leading GOP candidate in the gubernatorial recall race as he arrives

With the recall vote for California Governor Gavin Newsom now less than a week away, Democrats are frantically working to save his hide and even President Joe Biden will be pitching in as voters go to the polls to render their verdict on his political career.In news confirming what many have speculated, Biden will emerge to hit the campaign trail for the embattled governor who faces a serious threat that could derail the dreams of the ambitious product of the corrupt San Francisco Democrat machine.
On Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that Biden would travel to the left coast “early next week” where he will join efforts to
Donald Trump appears to have gone a step further than the currently appointed president by sending a heartfelt public message to one of the Gold Star mothers. “Thank you, Kathy. America feels your loss and fully understands your pain. Rylee will never be forgotten,” Trump wrote in a statement. Donald Trump was replying to Kathy McCollum, Mother of Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, USMC, who had written the 45th President: “Thank you. Just want the family to know I support them. We need the corrupt pseudo president gone. President Trump has to run. My son should not be gone. President Trump would never allowed this to happen.

The National Archives Records Administration placed a “harmful content” warning on the Constitution, labeling the governing document of the United States as “harmful or difficult to view.” The warning applies to all documents across the Archives’ cataloged website, including the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.“NARA’s records span the history of the United States, and it is our charge to preserve and make available these historical records,” the administration said in a statement. “As a result, some of the materials presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly violent views and opinions.
President Joe Biden continues to baffle Americans with remarks that indicate that he is not actually in charge of his own presidential administration. (Video) “I am sorry to go on so long,” Biden said. “But I can’t, I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for the country. And what you’ve done for me over my career. You’ve educated me. You’ve brought me along. And you’ve always been there.”“Now, I am supposed to stop and walk out of the room here,” Biden said. “I am going to stop, and with your permission, I am going to walk into the room and say hello.”The labor union he was addressing chortled

Another Failed Presidency at Hand

This Sept. 11, a diminished president will preside over a diminished nation. [Snip] Joe Biden was supposed to be the man of the hour: a calming presence exuding decency, moderation and trust. As a candidate, he sold himself as a transitional president, a fatherly figure in the mold of George H.W. Bush who would restore dignity and prudence to the Oval Office after the mendacity and chaos that came before. It’s why I voted for him, as did so many others who once tipped red. Instead, Biden has become the emblem of the hour: headstrong but shaky, ambitious but inept.
Perhaps, at long last, the deadly reign of Anthony Fauci will come to an end. That’s because The Intercept, a hard-left publication, has revealed 900 pages of government documents definitively proving that Fauci used his position to fund gain-of-function research into bat viruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (“WIV”)—and then lied to Congress about it.
Since February 2020, the wizened Fauci has been the face of the government’s response to the pandemic. In the ensuing 20 months, Fauci was frequently wrong, incredibly arrogant, and deeply dishonest. Because he was the anti-Trump, though, we were stuck with him.
Lucianne Goldberg is a conservative literary agent who was an important player in the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal because she urged Pentagon civil servant Linda Tripp to tape her conversations with Lewinsky about the president.
Goldberg’s role in the saga was resurrected by ABC in 2019 in a two-hour documentary called Truth and Lies, and she plays a key role in the new FX series, Impeachment: American Crime Story, which chronicles the saga of Lewinsky, Tripp, and the president.
Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is in danger of being excommunicated from the Catholic Church for her continuous support of the murder of unborn children.Over the weekend, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, who just so happens to be the archbishop of Pelosi’s home diocese in San Francisco, California, wrote an essay in the Washington Post, announcing that excommunication is a potential action to take against self-proclaimed Catholic Democrat leaders who support abortion.In his piece, Cordileone urged Catholic politicians to oppose abortion, saying that “[y]ou cannot be a good Catholic and support expanding a government-approved right to kill innocent human beings.”
The State Department on Tuesday expressed concerns over the makeup of the new interim Afghan government announced by the Taliban, including the lack of female leaders and the past actions of some of those appointed to top posts.
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement shared with The Hill that although the Taliban “has presented this as a caretaker cabinet,” the U.S. “will judge the Taliban by its actions, not words.”
“We have made clear our expectation that the Afghan people deserve an inclusive government,” the spokesperson added.

President Biden is firing all military academy board members who were appointed by former President Donald Trump—regardless of their qualifications—in a purge that’s drawing stiff pushback because their terms were supposed to last three years. Six presidential appointees on each academy board—18 people in total—were told to resign by 6 p.m. Wednesday or be fired. “I think this complete purge shows that the administration is hellbent on the woke mob controlling or having input into military education. Otherwise, why do it?” said one of the board members, who pointed out that Trump didn’t perform a similar purge.(Snip)‘Unprecedented’ is a word you could use here,”
MSNBC anchor Joy Reid said Tuesday on her show “The ReidOut” that she was doubtful God blessed anything Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) stood for. Reid said, “COVID cases are rising at an alarming rate as we head into the fall. The number of new infections this Labor Day was nearly four times of that one year ago, and the number of deaths due to COVID is nearly double. That’s thanks to the highly contagious Delta variant as well as the roughly 75 million Americans who are eligible for the vaccine but refuse to take it. The Washington Post reports in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas,
The heads of the nation’s major pharmaceutical companies on Wednesday warned that Democrats’ plan to let Medicare set drug prices would push some of them out of business. The warning upped the stakes in the industry’s fight against the drug-pricing measure in President Biden’s $3.5 trillion social welfare bill, which they previously argued would hamper drugmakers’ ability to create new cures. “It’s going to wipe off the face of the earth some pharmaceutical companies that are household names,” David Ricks, CEO of Eli Lilly and Company and chairman of the industry’s lobbying group, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), said in a call with reporters.
President Joe Biden marked a belated labor day at the White House Wednesday by speaking about how intimately he knew unions. 'By the way, of course, I sleep with a NEA member every night,' Biden told a crowd gathered in the East Room. 'Same one. same one,' he added as attendees applauded. As a teacher, first lady Jill Biden belongs to the National Education Association labor union. 'Jill had her first day of full time teaching yesterday—this year, back to school,' Biden also added.(Snip)Besides his cringe-worthy comment about Dr. Biden, the president leaned into the microphone at one point and, again, spoke in a whisper briefly
America's largest Confederate statue - the 12-ton bronze statue of Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee - was removed from its pedestal in Richmond, Virginia, on Wednesday morning to the sound of 'black lives matter' chants and crowds singing 'Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye' in the latest victory for BLM. The 21ft bronze statute of Lee atop a horse will now be sent to the Goochland Women's Correctional Center in Virginia until officials know what to do with it permanently. It is the latest Confederate statue to have been toppled by the BLM movement amid protest from white residents who thought it should be preserved in history.
The mother of one of the Marines killed in a suicide attack in Afghanistan has invited Donald Trump to attend the funeral, snubbing President Joe Biden after slamming him as responsible for the deaths of US troops. Shana Chappell, the mother of 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, invited Trump to attend his funeral in a Facebook post, writing: 'It would be such an honor to meet the real President of the United States of America, President Trump.
