Why You Should Be Armed When You Vote
From Bearing Arms:
An Afghan national allowed into the US shortly after the Harris-Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was charged Tuesday with plotting an ISIS-inspired Election Day terror attack.
Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was living in Oklahoma City on a Special Immigrant Visa as he took steps to stockpile AK-47 rifles and ammunition to carry out an attack on US soil “in the name of ISIS,” according to the Justice Department.
At Least 76 Americans Still In Afghanistan
From National Review:
 The U.S. State Department announced that since Thursday, it has been contacted by another 76 American citizens in Afghanistan, of whom 20 want to leave the country; families of more than two dozen American hostages held abroad write a letter questioning President Biden’s commitment to bringing their loved ones home; and a useful perspective on just what kind of “extremism†worries Joe Biden.
A Marine Learns Lessons From The Taliban
From Twitter user Lysander The God:
Extortion 17 Was The Deadliest Loss Of Life In Afghanistan and Questions Still Remain
From Salem Now:
A U.S. Army helicopter carrying 30 Americans, most members of the elite Navy SEAL Team 6 is shot down in Afghanistan. But what really happened that night? Why was the black box missing from the crash site? And why was the fire control officer of the AC-130 Gunship flying above denied permission to engage the enemy? Ten years later, long-awaited answers to these and other pressing questions are here.
The New Taliban Government
From The Spectator:
More than half of the members of the new government face international sanctions as terrorists. The list includes four of the five men released from Guantanamo in a prisoner swap in 2014 and four members of the Haqqani family, whose terrorist network was responsible for the largest attacks in Kabul in recent years, and who have US bounties on their heads. The failure to form an inclusive administration means that the Taliban will have to rule by force as they do not have wide consent
Over 200 Retired Generals and Admirals Call For Resignations After Afghanistan Withdrawal Chaos
From Flag Officers 4 America:
As the principal military advisors to the Commander In Chief (CINC)/President, the SECDEF and CJCS were the two top military officials in a position to recommend against the dangerous withdrawal in the strongest possible terms.
If they did everything within their authority to stop the hasty withdrawal and the President did not accept their recommendations, then knowing the disastrous consequences looming, the retired flag officer signers believe these top military advisors should have resigned as a matter of conscience and public statement.
Afghan Embassy Staff Desperate
From NBC News:
WASHINGTON — Local staff members at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul are “deeply disheartened†by U.S. evacuation efforts and have expressed a sense of betrayal and distrust in the U.S. government, according to a State Department diplomatic cable obtained by NBC News.
US Has No Idea How Much Equipment The Taliban Captured
From The Independent:
The Pentagon has admitted it has no idea how much of its military hardware has been seized by the Taliban and said it has no plan to try and retrieve it.
The Politicians Continue To Play Checkers In Foreign Policy
From SOFREP:
Incredibly, Secretary of State Blinken said that Chinese influence in Afghanistan could be a positive thing if China sought a “peaceful resolution of the conflict,†and a “truly representative and inclusive†government. Yet, China doesn’t have a government that could be called “representative and inclusive†by anyone. So, why would they work towards one in Afghanistan?
Yet, it’s not unlikely that the Taliban held meetings with the Chinese intelligence service that could have aided in Taliban planning and operations.
Anyone who understands diplomacy and espionage can do the math and see that the Taliban are solidly backed by China. This could have emboldened them to take back Afghanistan in true blitzkrieg style as they did.
Biden and Taliban Agree On Disarming Civilians
From The Truth About Guns:
The Taliban are not the first gun-grabbers to cite need as a reason for firearm confiscation. Joe Biden has been citing it nearly every time he mentions guns.
The World After Afghanistan
From Spiked Online:
While a new regime in Afghanistan offers opportunities, this is still the Taliban we’re talking about. It is still a brutal Islamist movement, committed to the rule of Sharia law. And, insofar as it backs and inspires other Islamists, the Taliban still poses a significant security threat to all those regional powers hoping to take advantage of its retaking of power.
