"The Taliban have showed off containers full of weapons and military hardware seized from the Afghan military as American forces withdraw from the country...."
"The weaponry includes 900 guns, 30 light tactical vehicles and 20 army pickup trucks.... District after district has fallen to the Taliban. The militants have seized 120 districts since May 1.... [M]any military outposts have been surrendered without a fight, allowing the Taliban to seize weapons, according to multiple Afghan military and government sources."

Democrats Are Trying to Recreate the 2008 Financial Crisis and You Should Be Asking Why
Yesterday evening, I stumbled across a news story over at Politico that I had to double-check the date on. It read like something you would have seen in 2006, when sub-prime mortgages were being pushed by the government to increase homeownership for low-income individuals, ultimately leading to the 2008 financial collapse.
But no, it’s from the present day.
The problem with this is simple. You can not “expand” access to a loan that a person is not qualified for and not have it lead to financial ruin for everyone involved. Guidelines for credit scores, down payments, and held capital to receive loans exist for a reason, and it’s not because banks want to limit their customer base.
Rather, it’s because lending to low-income individuals who have terrible credit and no ability to pay back a loan is asinine. It ensures the low-income individual sinks further into financial despair while the bank is left holding the bag, and in the case of 2008, taxpayers were ultimately put on the hook for ensuring a complete collapse didn’t occur.
Given that, what politician in their right mind would stump for increased access to loans for low-income individuals outside of the already fairly lax restrictions in regards to getting an FHA loan? That’s a good question, and it’s one not likely to be answered with any logical consistency.
Instead, my suspicion is that Democrats think another housing crisis would benefit their political wants. After all, what better way is there to delegitimize the housing market than to cause its collapse, thereby justifying a bigger, more expensive, more powerful government to “solve” the problem?

SWINDLE OF THE CENTURY:
Norway Carbon Offset Deal Blows Up Rationale for Biden’s Trillions to Fight Climate Change.
Norway has long positioned itself as green, even though it is one of world’s largest oil producers. Norway plans to increase its oil production by 40 percent by 2025 and is expanding its Arctic drilling program.
To maintain its green pose, Norway is buying offsets. What’s interesting about the Gabon offsets is that Norway is purchasing them for a mere $5 per ton of CO2 “stored.”
Keeping in mind that Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats want to spend trillions and trillions of dollars on climate, Norway seems to have found a solution it can sign on to – CO2 offsets at $5 per ton.
The U.S. consumption of energy produces about 5 billion tons of CO2 per year. So at $5 per ton, the entire U.S. energy-related CO2 footprint could be offset Norway-style for “mere” $25 billion. That is a lot less than Biden’s trillion and trillions of dollars.
It was never about saving the earth. It was always about getting the money.

IS IT OK TO QUESTION THEIR PATRIOTISM YET:
Maxine Waters Attacks The Declaration Of Independence On The 4th Of July.
https://conservativebrief.com/maxine-waters-attacks-44392/
-
Say, why is the U.S. Capitol still closed to the public?
On the Fourth of July, Joe and Jill Biden hosted 1,000 military families and first responders at the White House. It was billed as a celebration of Independence Day, both for America and freedom from the coronavirus pandemic. Biden hosted the large, maskless gathering despite the obvious irony in his decision to do so. It was just this spring that he threatened to call off all 4th of July celebrations until everyone is vaccinated.
His administration missed its target of July 4 for 70% of Americans to have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Nonetheless, the show went on. Biden’s stern warnings were not adhered to by those who have made up their minds to not be vaccinated against COVID-19. And, what about the people who, for medical reasons, are strongly advised not to get the vaccine due to underlying health conditions? Biden continues to divide Americans at every opportunity despite his pleas for unity. Americans see through him. And no one was going to cancel a summer holiday cookout because of Biden’s bloviating – especially after being told we all saved $0.16 from the price of the same cookout menu last year. The White House deserved all the teasing they received over that bone-headed campaign meant to prop up the American Rescue Act’s alleged success.
So, if the pandemic is over, why is the Capitol building still closed to the public? It’s been closed for about 16 months, the longest amount of time in its history. There are still no public tours for tourists or groups being ushered around while they learn of some of America’s history. Besides the pandemic, the January riot at the Capitol is also being blamed for the closure.

Poll Finds Most Americans Believe 'Others' are Controlling Biden and That's Bad News for Democrats
President Joe Biden doesn’t exactly give off the impression that he’s a man in charge of things. Watching any of his speeches for more than a few minutes will lead you to believe he’s a fry short of a happy meal. His colleagues and the media can make excuses for him till the cows come home but between his outbursts, constant confusion, and controlled interactions with the public, Biden’s not exactly selling us on being the decision-maker.
The Trafalgar Group wanted to see how many people aren’t sold on Biden being at the front, and sure enough, they found the majority of Americans think Biden is hardly taking the lead, but instead, is being led.
The findings even show that a solid chunk of Democrats isn’t even sold on Biden being in charge:
56.5% of American voters do not believe that President Biden is fully executing the duties of his office, while 36.4% believe he is directing all policy and agenda
31.7% of Democrat voters do not believe that President Biden is fully executing the duties of his office, while 58.6% believe he is directing all policy and agenda
83.6% of Republican voters do not believe that President Biden is fully executing the duties of his office, while 11% believe he is directing all policy and agenda
58.4% of Independent voters do not believe that President Biden is fully executing the duties of his office, while 36.1% believe he is directing all policy and agenda

President Dementia is getting worse
American Thinker, by Thomas Lifson
Can we call it a national security crisis yet? The stress that comes with the job of POTUS seems to be accelerating the cognitive decline of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. at a time when the world is becoming ominously more dangerous. Embarrassing incidents of inappropriate Biden behavior are accumulating, even as the agitprop media begin publishing material that makes Kamala Harris look unsuitable as a replacement should the 25th Amendment be invoked. (snip) Two recent examples of Biden’s mental decline are especially troubling, given the high stakes of international diplomacy currently.

What I discovered about critical race theory in public schools and why it shouldn't be taught
USA Today, by Christopher F. Rufo
America is up in arms about critical race theory in public schools. Lawmakers in California and school districts in Washington and Oregon have introduced or mandated aspects of critical race theory in the curriculum; lawmakers in Texas, Idaho, Oklahoma and, most recently, Florida have passed legislation prohibiting teachers from promoting critical race theory in the classroom. But despite all of the furor surrounding these bills, many Americans still do not have a firm grasp of what critical race theory is and how it manifests in public schools.

it's not about "teaching the truth", it is about teaching history (and ALL subjects) through the lens of race.
That is NOT truth.
@AGHamilton29 schools blue-checked HS history teacher ranting about ‘fascist march to whitewash history with your anti-history laws’
Sari Beth Rosenberg is a self-described “Educator & Host who writes about history, politics, education, civil rights, pop culture, & feminism.” According to her bio, she’s been teaching U.S. History at New York City’s High School for Environmental Studies for 19 years.
She’s free to write about whatever the hell she wants. But as far as being an educator goes, she definitely doesn’t belong anywhere near your kids:
Apparently Sari doesn’t think teachers owe it to young people to teach them actual history as opposed to history through the warped lens of Critical Race Theory.
Quote@saribethrose
P.S. this message applies to all K-12 educators who teach these essential texts & readings & concepts. Not just history teachers!
It’s just a right-wing conspiracy theory that K-12 teachers are instructing students in Critical Race Theory!
Also, all K-12 educators who teach Critical Race Theory must be allowed to keep teaching Critical Race Theory!
Reminder: Nobody has passed any "anti-history laws." If you were right, you wouldn't have to lie.

On 7/3/2021 at 11:13 AM, Governor said:
RINO!
DeSantis to forgo Trump rally in Sarasota.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) will not be attending former President Trump’s rally in Sarasota, Fla., on Saturday amid ongoing recovery efforts following the deadly condo building collapse in Surfside, Fla.
“We can confirm that the Governor will not attend the rally in Sarasota. He spoke with President Trump, who agreed that this was the right decision, as the Governor’s duty is to be in Surfside making sure the families and community have what they need in the aftermath of the tragic building collapse,” press secretary Christina Pushaw said in a statement to The Hill.
Hahahahahahahahaha.

CHRISTOPHER BEDFORD: Why Saving Comedy Is So Crucial To Saving America.
Real humor requires risk-taking — it requires saying something that will surprise and, sometimes, appall the listener. So why should we be surprised that humor is vanishing?
People aren’t dumb. They’ve looked around, and they see that telling the wrong joke — or even simply laughing at one — is a quick way to destroy your life; better to just suffer in silence and watch old Eddie Murphy clips from the 1980s like they’re banned readings in the Soviet Union, which, soon, they might well be.
Most of the funniest comedy today comes from anonymous people online — the people who make internet memes and run anonymous Twitter accounts. Think about that: Random idiots on the internet are way funnier than professional comedians paid millions of dollars a year for one simple reason — only anonymous people can actually be funny without fear.
Read the whole thing.
