Here’s a sharp Points and Figures post about the political response to COVID. Money quote: “Covid is just not as serious as the politicians are making it out to be. They have another goal. Increase their power. Political entities love power. The Founders recognized that and enshrined people’s rights into the Constitution. It’s worth pointing
Details are emerging about U.S. service members who lost their lives during a heinous terror attack Thursday in Kabul, Afghanistan.

The U.S. has executed an unmanned airstrike targeting an ISIS-K planner on the heels of the deadly terror attack in Kabul that left many dead, including 13 American service members. “U.S. military forces conducted an over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation today against an ISIS-K planner,” U.S. Central Command spokeman Capt. Bill Urban, USN, said in a statement.
Despite it being a Friday afternoon after a long, difficult week for the country, many in the White House press corps kept up the heat against Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Afghanistan with Fox’s Peter Doocy, the New York Post’s Steven Nelson, Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann, and even some liberals testing Psaki’s patience.

Sirhan Sirhan is the man who shot and killed Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. He was tried and sentenced to death for the crime. Some years later, his sentence was commuted to life in prison. Now, after going up for parole 16 times, he has been granted parole. This is craziness. If Lee Harvey

It was when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 that the first wave of refugees settled in a quiet corner of San Francisco’s Bay Area. Drawn, it was said, by the green of the tree-lined streets and the mountains that surrounded them, it offered reminders of the homeland they had left behind. Now, the
Since the news from Afghanistan has been so negative, critics on the Left have tried to suggest the media are far too negative with President Biden. One article in New York magazine even tried to argue “Why the Media Is Worse for Biden Than Trump.” Their questions are tough, but their coverage is still sympathetic. Politico
Ponder that. Tom Joscelyn, who runs the essential Long War Journal, responded in shock at the ignorance. Price has been in federal government his entire adult life, but clearly doesn’t study too closely or read the Wall Street Journal, which only yesterday had an informative news story headlined, “In Taliban-Ruled Afghanistan, Al Qaeda-Linked Haqqani Network Rises to Power.” Within the

I won’t preface this with a ton of color, but suffice it to say that President Joe Biden has attempted, multiple times, to lay the blame for the Afghanistan debacle on the feet of former President Donald Trump.

MSNBC viewers lashed out at PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor for criticizing the Biden administration’s withdrawal in Afghanistan but she replied that she was simply quoting White House press secretary Jen Psaki.

Fox News’ Chris Wallace opined that President Joe Biden could come back from the lethal terror attack on Thursday but his presidency won’t survive an attack on the homeland launched from Afghanistan. Wallace made the comments Friday on “America’s Newsroom” on Fox News with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. “It’s terrible, and this is the
The New York Times uncovered one reason President Biden isn’t facing his own “Tea Party” protest movement: Racism. “Why Biden Hasn’t Faced a Second Coming of the Tea Party,” the “Upshot” analysis by Ian Prasad Philbrick in Saturday’s news pages, claimed the Tea Party was built on racial backlash against America’s first black president, Barack

Viewers of Spanish-speaking media in the U.S. have come to expect their daily dose of COVID panic porn. But the new practice of fixating on children as experts on the subject of mask safety, shoving mics into their innocent faces, can only be regarded as a new low in news reporting. As if the above
The last soldier of the Soviet army to leave Afghanistan was Colonel-General Boris Gromov, who marched at the back of a column of armored vehicles across the Hairatan “Friendship Bridge” connecting Afghanistan to the Soviet Union. Presumably, Gromov was not happy with the outcome of that decade-long war. Crossing back into the Uzbek SSR, he
The unfolding disaster in Afghanistan is a bipartisan, transadministrational failure. It is a humiliation. The fact is that after 20 years, after thousands of lives were lost and hundreds of billions of dollars were spent on the military, police, training, infrastructure, and education, the country fell in days. Whatever your position is on the presence
Fox News TV host Tucker Carlson recently aired a 17-minute segment of moral outrage toward people who want to bring large numbers of Afghan refugees to the United States in the wake of the recent collapse of the Afghan government.

Some “medical experts” seem to think men can give birth, but during this pandemic, we should be thankful that it’s women who carry babies, because they appear to be at a much lower risk than men for severe disease from SARS-CoV-2. A new study comparing mortality rates among pregnant vs. non-pregnant COVID hospital patients demonstrates
The fall of Kabul and the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan are a stark reminder of how much identity matters to a country. Unfortunately, America’s identity obsessions are major vulnerabilities that have been met with aggression from our adversaries and threaten the stability of our own nation.
