I mean, you can probably guess what happened to this woman. She was left behind. The woman named “Nasria” is one of the hundreds of Americans that Joe Biden said ‘sayonara’ to when we left Afghanistan on August 31. We had to be out of there. The troops had to go; Joe didn’t want to…
I mean, you probably figured it out just by reading the headline. Dr. Anthony Fauci was testy when asked about Wuhan funding from the National Institutes of Health. He couldn’t dissuade any scrutiny either, admitting that he couldn’t say for sure that the grant money was used for other things, like gain of function research.…
It’s sad but we cannot be shocked that there was a suicide bombing outside of the airport in Kabul that left 13 US service members dead. We trusted the Taliban with the outer perimeter security at the airport. They were the ‘TSA,’ and they likely allowed this bomber to slip through their maze of checkpoints.…

With hours remaining in the United States military’s two-decade presence in Afghanistan, the Pentagon really doesn’t want to talk about the Americans or Afghan allies who helped our country that will be left behind.

While the issue of Afghanistan has been the main focus of the news headlines in recent weeks, the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border continues to be a major problem for the country and now Republicans and former border security officials are raising the alarm over how the two crises can intertwine. Terrorist organizations finding a…
The United States left behind $85 billion worth of military equipment that the Taliban now has full control over. Rep. Jim Banks knows precisely how dangerous that is—in 2014 he deployed to Afghanistan with the Navy and was assigned as a Foreign Military Sales Officer. “My job was to help on the front end and…
The Pentagon had little to say Tuesday about the news that the Biden administration had failed in its humiliating attempt to grovel before the Taliban in order to extend the August 31st deadline for withdrawal and instead doubled down on its plans to be out of the country by the deadline that is just one week away.…
House Republicans had harsh words for the Biden administration and Democratic leadership in Congress as the crisis in Afghanistan escalates.

We discussed this on the Triggered Podcast yesterday, but the fallout from Joe Biden’s failure in Afghanistan could have devastating consequences abroad that go beyond the issue of eradicating radical Islamic terrorism.
