Understanding the Afghanistan Debacle
- By Mike Scruggs
The British Military Withdrawal Catastrophe of 1842
August 2021 Reflections
In the nineteenth century, the British and Russian empires vied for dominance of Afghanistan and Southwest Asia in what has been called the “Great Game.”
The British occupied Afghanistan periodically from 1839 to 1919 and fought three Anglo-Afghan wars in 1839-1842, 1878-1880, and lastly in 1919.
Born in British India, Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), immortalized in his poem entitled “The Young British Soldier,” why Afghanistan was a dreaded assignment for British troops:
The Council On Foreign Relations - “Deep State” Devils In Disguise - Part 2
- By W.H. Lamb
Last time we reviewed a bit of the hidden and treacherous history of the now less secret organization known as The Council on Foreign Relations, founded in 1921 in New York City. So why do I accuse this sinister “power behind the throne” of being treacherous, guilty of treason, and the proven enemy of our Constitutional Republic? Well, let me tell you some of the anti-freedom, anti-Constitution programs and policies that the CFR has been promoting for many decades. I refer you to the great article by William Jasper in the June 7, 2021 issue of The New American magazine (from which I quote freely), for the details of the perfidy committed by this group of anti-Americans:
End the Real Estate Racket
- By Stephen Moore
The housing market is hot, hot, hot right now, and home prices continue to soar in many markets to their highest prices ever. Since it doesn't cost a real estate agent ten times as much to sell a million dollar home than a $100,000 home, one would expect that the percentage fees for real estate agents would be falling. They aren't. Why?
I started investigating the fees charged by the real estate industry some 15 years ago when I was an economics writer for the Wall Street Journal. What I discovered is that the real estate agents had created a de facto legal cartel that often rips off buyers and sellers of homes. The excess cost to home buyers and sellers from this industry cartel is typically more than $10,000 for homes with a price above $500,000.

State AG hires current, former lawyer-legislators in civil cases
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Since 2017, S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson has hired at least six current or former lawyer-legislators to handle certain civil cases, including the chairman of a House committee that first approves the annual state budget, which funds Wilson’s office, records show.
The outside lawyers hired to assist the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) were to be paid on a contingency basis, which means they would receive a percentage of any settlement or court award. Records provided recently by the AGO under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act didn’t indicate whether the current or ex-lawmakers have received any fees.
Aftermath of an Afghanistan Debacle
- By Pat Buchanan
In Afghanistan, the mission failure appears complete.
The trillion-dollar project to plant Western democracy in a Muslim nation historically fabled for driving out imperial intruders has crashed and burned after 20 years, and the Taliban are suddenly back in power.
After investing scores of billions in training and arming a force of 350,000 Afghani troops, the U.S. could not stand up an army and a government that could survive our departure.
And the final U.S. departure from Hamid Karzai International Airport may become, like JFK's Bay of Pigs, a synonym for American debacle.
Biden Masking Totalitarian Policies
- By Eagle Forum
Counties Fight Against Mask Mandates in Schools
Another school year is beginning, and kids have one more school supply on their list: masks. Despite the overwhelming evidence that masks are mostly ineffective, and children are rarely affected by COVID, politicians are flexing their power by doing the opposite of what the science tells us. Just when you think these mandates have gone too far, another extremist thinks of a way to make it go further.
The state of Virginia recently took up the mantle of forced masking. The order issued by the state’s Department of Health mandates that children 2 years of age and older must wear a mask while attending school. Virginia isn’t alone in this extremism, though. They are one of twelve states to issue a mask mandate in schools, and the number continues to grow.
What's at Stake in the California Recall Election?
- By iVoterGuide
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The California gubernatorial recall election is underway and voters across the state are eager to make their voices heard. This special election is being held to answer two important questions: Should Gavin Newsom be recalled from the office of Governor? If so, who should replace him? How voters answer these two questions could transform the political landscape of both California and the U.S. for years.
For Debbie Wuthnow, president of iVoterGuide, this recall election provides a unique opportunity. "An opportunity like this hasn't occurred in California in years. Recent polls indicate that the state is evenly split over the effort to recall Governor Newsom, with the majority of California voters still undecided. This is exactly what iVoterGuide is for— equipping voters with facts about each candidate so they can cast an informed vote."

SBA List Slams MSNBC for Opinion Piece Comparing Pro-life Republicans to the Taliban
- By Susan B. Anthony List
ARLINGTON, Va. -- Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser (photo) releases the following statement:
"MSNBC does the nation a great disservice in allowing this piece to run, which exploits Afghan women, ignores their values, and smears pro-life Republicans who are fighting every day in Congress to defend the lives of American women and their unborn babies from the extreme agenda of the abortion lobby.
"America is one in seven nations that allow abortion on demand for any reason up to birth, we're in the company of China and North Korea. Pro-life lawmakers are to be commended for their courage in challenging this extreme status quo -- and they should be emboldened by the truth that the majority of Americans are on their side, eager to humanize our laws."

Endless Wars = Endless Refugees
- By Michelle Malkin
It's time to end the madness. However you feel about President Joe Biden's handling of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, I want you to focus on what's best for Americans on American soil right here. Right now.
Our citizens are suffering under continued draconian lockdowns, medical tyranny, skyrocketing inflation, violent crime, cancerous homelessness, border chaos, ideological persecution and Silicon Valley censorship.
Cops cannot or will not maintain law and order.
Gun owners who exercise their right to self-defense face scorn at best and decades in prison at worst.
Debacle in Afghanistan Symptom of Confusion at Home
- By Star Parker
President Joe Biden was right in his speech to the nation about our withdrawal from Afghanistan, that a long legacy of American involvement there preceded him.
But across the board, in domestic as well as foreign policy, any new president inherits realities that precede him. The issue confronting every president is what principles and policies will he put in place to deal with these existing realities that will define his administration.
Most clear now is that America's withdrawal from Afghanistan is surrounded by a perception of confusion, weakness and humiliation.
Santee Cooper Seeks State OK to Dive Deeper in Debt
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
State-owned utility Santee Cooper’s debt load is projected to grow by more than a half-billion dollars under a proposal that a legislative committee likely will rubber-stamp today.
The utility’s board of directors in a special meeting Thursday approved asking the state Joint Bond Review Committee (JBRC) to allow the utility to sell up to $350 million in revenue obligation bonds. Last week’s board meeting was held the same day The Nerve revealed that the Berkeley County-based utility in recent years had approved millions in economic development spending while being mired in debt.
The 10-member JBRC is scheduled to meet later this morning.
Abolishing the ‘United’ States: A Radical Approach to Teaching
- By Eagle Forum
It’s as radical as it sounds.
As parents and taxpayers discover more about what is taught in many local schools, national education leaders’ extremism continues to be exposed. The new evidence? Fox News correspondent Aishah Hasnie’s recent report1 that the U.S. Department of Education has recommended Abolitionist Teaching Network2 resources for schools as they prepare to reopen in the fall.
Abolitionist Teaching is a new concept to the public at large.
Most people have never heard of the Abolitionist Teaching Network because it was not created until July of 2020. Dr. Bettina Love,3 a Professor in Education at the University of Georgia, has been touted and awarded over the past few years in the world of higher education, Black queer feminist scholarship, and liberation for students of color. Now she has inroads with the Biden administration’s Department of Education, as recently explained by Stanley Kurtz4.
Media Ministry Offers 'Lifeline' to Fearful Afghans as Taliban Kill Christians
- By Christian Newswire
EASTON, Md. -- An "unstoppable" media ministry in the Middle East is proving to be a lifeline for isolated Christians in Afghanistan, as the resurgent Taliban go door-to-door, executing believers who refuse to renounce their faith.
Taliban militants are even pulling people off public transport and killing them on the spot if they're Christians or considered ethnically "unpure," according to shocking reports from Middle East media ministry SAT-7 (www.sat7usa.org).
"We're hearing from reliable sources that the Taliban demand people's phones, and if they find a downloaded Bible on your device, they will kill you immediately," said SAT-7 North America President Dr. Rex Rogers. "It's incredibly dangerous right now for Afghans to have anything Christian on their phones. The Taliban have spies and informants everywhere."

Georgia Lawmakers Back Overturning Roe
- By Georgia Right to Life (GRTL)
NORCROSS, Ga. -- Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) today praised four state lawmakers who joined more than 300 colleagues from 34 other states in petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
"Those who value the sanctity of human life and the Personhood of every pre-born child are grateful for the courage shown by these GRTL PAC endorsed legislators in taking a public stand against the un-godly, horrendous ruling that has claimed the lives of more than 62 million innocent children," said GRTL President Ricardo Davis.
The legislators: Rep. Charlice Byrd (Woodstock), N. Stanley Gunter (Blairsville), Philip Singleton (Sharpsburg), and Tyler Paul Smith (Bremen) added their names to an amicus brief filed with the court that says Roe is "egregiously wrong."
Taxpayers Are Getting Ripped Off and Congress Does Nothing
- By Stephen Moore
Milton Friedman used to quip that, in Washington, if a government program is working, Congress says we need to spend more money on it. And if a government program is failing, Congress concludes we are not spending enough money on it.
We are seeing that in spades with the unemployment insurance program that has been looted by fraud for nearly 18 months and has become a poster child of everything gone wrong in government (already) under President Joe Biden.
CNBC recently investigated the ransacking of the unemployment insurance program and was told by Michele Evermore, a senior policy adviser for unemployment insurance: "What we're seeing now is really terrifying. Fraud has gotten so big." She wasn't exaggerating.
US Embraces a Diversity China Fears
- By Pat Buchanan
The first returns from the delayed census of 2020 are in, and they have made for celebratory headlines in the mainstream media.
Big takeaway: Between 2010 and 2021, the white American population declined in real and relative terms, with more deaths than live births, as the white share of the U.S. population fell from 63% to under 58%.
As The Washington Post reported, between 1990 and 2020:
Black Americans held at roughly 12% of the population. Hispanics doubled their share from 9% to almost 19%, and Asians went from less than 3% to more than 6%.

Extralegal Secret Prison System in Dubai -- Run by Chinese State Security
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- China Aid Association releases detailed information about a black jail, an extralegal secret prison system run by Chinese state security, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) highlighted in a breaking AP report. Wu Huan, political asylum seeker and her fiancée Wang Jingyu, was forcibly detained for days by Chinese Consulate officials in the first evidence of a black jail operating outside of China's borders.
When faced with an increase in persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) due to his posts on social media, Wang Jingyu purchased an Emirates Airline ticket from Istanbul to Dubai to New York on April 5, 2021. However, when he arrived in Dubai for transit, he was inexplicably arrested by Dubai police. During this process, officials from the Chinese Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Chinese Consulate-General in Dubai visited Wang in prison multiple times.
