Trump: Get U.S. Military Weaponry Back Or Else ‘Bomb The Hell Out Of It’

/1 Comment/in , /by

. . .The Biden administration has brushed off concerns, with Pentagon spokesman John Kirby claiming, on the issue of what was left behind, and whether any of it was destroyed, “Time’s not right for that right now.”

The Washington Examiner reported former President Donald Trump called on Biden to get “every penny” of the equipment or, in the alternative, “bomb the hell” out of it.

At least then it could not be turned back against the U.S. taxpayers, who paid for it.

“Never in history has a withdrawal from war been handled so badly or incompetently as the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan,” Trump wrote in an email statement. “In addition to the obvious, ALL EQUIPMENT should be demanded to be immediately returned to the United States, and that includes every penny of the $85 billion dollars in cost.” (Read more from “Trump: Get U.S. Military Weaponry Back Or Else ‘Bomb The Hell Out Of It'” HERE)

Congressman Predicts ‘Bloodshed’ if Elections ‘Continue To Be Rigged’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Republican congressman is predicting “bloodshed” if elections in America continue to be “rigged.”

The sanguine warning comes from U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina, who was addressing a crowd Sunday night.

“The things that we are wanting to fight for, it doesn’t matter if our votes don’t count,” he said, according to a now-restricted Facebook livestream and videos tweeted by a Democratic congressional staffer.

“Because, you know, if our election systems continue to be rigged and continue to be stolen, then it’s going to lead to one place – and it’s bloodshed.”

“I will tell you, as much as I’m willing to defend liberty at all costs, there is nothing that I would dread doing more than having to pick up arms against a fellow American,” Cawthorn said. (Read more from “Congressman Predicts ‘Bloodshed’ if Elections ‘Continue To Be Rigged'” HERE)

Florida Withholds Funds From Districts With Mask Mandates

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida’s Department of Education announced that it was withholding funds from two school districts over their mask mandates.

Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran announced Monday that the department has withheld funds in the amount of monthly school board member salaries from Alachua and Broward county districts for implementing mask mandates that parents do not have the option to opt out of, violating a state order.

The withholding of funds will continue monthly “until each school board complies with state law and rules,” the statement said.

The announcement comes as the state battles with school districts over imposing mask mandates, in defiance of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). As of last week, 10 districts accounting for more than half of the state’s enrollment have imposed mask mandates.

Earlier this month, Florida’s board of education voted to investigate Broward and Alachua and several weeks ago requested a list of annual salaries of all school board members in both counties. The Florida Department of Education said it would be withholding 1/12th of the amount each month from the district’s funds.

Father of Marine Seen Cradling Afghan Infant Reacts to Daughter’s Death

/0 Comments/in , /by

The grieving father of a U.S. Marine killed in a suicide attack at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul just days after she shared the now iconic photo of her cradling an Afghan baby described his daughter in a heartbreaking new interview as his “hero” and a true “warrior.”

“She’s a hero. She’s a warrior,” Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee’s father, Richard Herrera, told NBC’s “TODAY” in a recent interview from his home in Roseville, Calif. On Aug. 20, Gee had shared a photo to Instagram of her cradling an Afghan baby at the airport in Kabul, captioning the image, “I love my job.”

Filled with pride, Herrera quickly shared the photo with friends and family. Six days later, Gee was one of the 13 service members killed on Aug. 26 when a bomb went off outside Abbey Gate. Asked by NBC’s Erin McLaughlin what he sees in that photo now, Herrera answered “Just my baby. My baby.”

“It broke me for a while,” Herrera said of his daughter’s death. “It hit me hard.”

Gee, 23, of Sacramento, California, was a maintenance technician with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Brig. Gen. Forrest C. Poole III, commanding general of 2nd Marine Logistics Group, said his unit mourned “the immense loss of Sgt. Gee,” and the others.

Once Again, Biden Points Finger at Trump Over Chaotic Afghan Withdrawal

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden addressed the nation Tuesday afternoon for the first time since American troops fully withdrew from Afghanistan and pinned partial blame on former President Donald Trump for some of the chaos that unfolded during the withdrawal.

“The previous administration’s agreement said that if we stuck to the May 1st deadline that they had signed on to leave by, the Taliban wouldn’t attack any American forces,” the president said during his Tuesday speech shifting blame to negotiations Trump had with the Taliban before he took office. “But if we stayed all bets were off, so we were left with a simple decision. Either follow through on the commitment made by the last administration and leave Afghanistan or say we weren’t leaving and commit another tens of thousands more troops going back to war. That was the choice. The real choice between leaving or escalating.”

Biden said that the Taliban was in its “strongest military position since 2001” when he took office.

The president also added that August 31 was not an “arbitrary deadline” to withdrawal American troops but instead it was designed to “save lives.” (Read more from “Once Again, Biden Points Finger at Trump Over Chaotic Afghan Withdrawal” HERE)

Texas Heartbeat Law Allowing Private Citizens to Sue Abortionists Slated To Take Effect

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Texas Heartbeat Act, which allows private citizens to sue abortion providers, is set to take effect September 1, despite failed attempts by the abortion industry to block it through the courts.

However, at the time of publication, Texas Right to Life reported abortion provider Whole Women’s Health applied to the U.S. Supreme Court for an injunction to block the law:

Abortionists appealed to the High Court in Whole Woman’s Health v. Jackson, and Justice Samuel Alito will consider their application.

Texas Right to Life Legislative Director John Seago responded:

The abortion industry is using their last, desperate option in an attempt to block the life-saving Texas Heartbeat Act from taking effect Wednesday. This anti-Life lawsuit is invalid. We are hopeful that Justice Alito will examine the compelling arguments raised explaining why the case should be ultimately dismissed.

Donald Trump: ‘Only Reason You Have a Republican Party’ Is Democrats ‘Have Horrible Policy’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump ripped into establishment Republicans for getting “duped” into supporting the Democrat agenda during President Joe Biden’s administration, arguing that the “only reason” Republicans even exist is because of how bad the Democrats are on policy.

After viciously criticizing Biden’s agenda and mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal during a nearly two hour-long exclusive interview here at his golf club in northern New Jersey, Trump told Breitbart News that the Democrats “stick together” something he said Republicans do not do. Trump named names, too, of such establishment Republicans he is unhappy with — name-checking Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — with whom Trump has been feuding since late last year.

“And unlike the Republicans, they [the Democrats] stick together, although we have some great Republicans,” Trump said. “But we also have a group of Republicans, Romney, little Ben Sasse, you look at Louisiana that whole deal with him—so terrible. We have a group of Republicans, they don’t know what loyalty means. They don’t get it. Mitch McConnell is terrible. We have some that just can’t get there. And they never will. Look at the judges that they’re reporting. Look at the judges that they’re approving. And we have to get, unfortunately, Lindsey Graham is voting for all these horrible judges. But look at what’s happening, that’s impossible for the Democrats to do. McConnell can’t hold people in line. Are you seeing what’s going on with judges? Radical left judges are being approved because Lindsey’s voting for them. I don’t- I can’t even- I can’t. I can’t fathom it. I can’t fathom it. I’m a very loyal person. I cannot. And nobody that I understand that. Nobody can understand what’s going on with that. But they’re getting people appointed that are that are very sad. It’s a very sad situation.” (Read more from “Donald Trump: ‘Only Reason You Have a Republican Party’ Is Democrats ‘Have Horrible Policy’” HERE)

Families of Slain Marines Call Out Biden for Disrespectful Behavior at Ceremony

/0 Comments/in , /by

More family members of military service members who died during Thursday’s attack in Afghanistan have come forward and called their interactions with the president “selfish” and “disrespectful.”

Mark Schmitz, father of Marine Jared Schmitz, and Darin Hoover, father of Darin Taylor Hoover Jr., appeared Monday on Fox News’s Hannity to talk about their interactions with the president.

“Initially, I wasn’t going to meet with him,” Schmitz said. “But then I felt I owed it to my son to at least have some words with him about how I felt — and it didn’t go well … He talked a bit more about his own son than he did my son, and that didn’t sit well with me.” . . .

Hoover decided not to speak with Biden, claiming his family decided together that they wanted nothing to do with the president due to perceived disrespect the president showed as the caskets were offloaded. Hoover claimed that Biden checked his watch multiple times throughout the ceremony.

“That didn’t happen just once. It happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They would release the salute, and he would look down at his watch on every last one,” Hoover said. “As a father, seeing that and the disrespect, and hearing from his former leaders, one of [Taylor’s] master sergeants said that this was avoidable — that they left them over there — they had them over there and let them down, and we can’t have that. It can’t happen ever again.” (Read more from “Families of Slain Marines Call Out Biden for Disrespectful Behavior at Ceremony” HERE)

Top Retired Military Officers Call On Milley, Austin To Resign Over Afghanistan

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than 80 retired senior military officers are calling for the resignations of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley following the Biden administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“The consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverberate for decades, beginning with the safety of Americans and Afghans who are unable to move safely to evacuation points; therefore, being de facto hostages of the Taliban at this time,” Flag Officers 4 America, a group of retired generals and admirals across all military services except the Space Force, Wrote in a statement Monday. “Trust in the United States is irreparably damaged.”

The coalition of retired officers—which includes Reagan national security adviser and retired vice admiral John Poindexter, former rear admiral Rep. Ronny Jackson (R., Texas), and former four-star admiral and vice chief of naval operations Jerome Johnson—took aim at military leadership, saying adversaries such as China and Russia “are emboldened to move against America due to the weakness displayed in Afghanistan.”

“A fundamental principle in the military is holding those in charge responsible and accountable for their
actions or inactions,” the retired officers wrote. “There must be accountability at all levels for this tragic and avoidable debacle.” (Read more from “Top Retired Military Officers Call On Milley, Austin To Resign Over Afghanistan” HERE)

Mother of Slain Marine: Biden Voters ‘Killed My Son’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. The mother of slain U.S. Marine Rylee McCollum spoke out in a radio interview Saturday.

“Every Democrat who is listening, you did this to my son,” the marine’s mother, Kathy McCollum, said.

“My son did die in vain. This was an unnecessary debacle. It could have been handled properly. They had months and months to remove everyone from Afghanistan and they chose not to. And so they sent in freaking what? 6,000 troops? And my son, through the laws of statistics, my son was one of the ones that just got blown up in a freaking terrorist bomb yesterday,” McCollum said.

“I never thought in a million years that he would die for nothing. For nothing. Because a feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap wanted a photo-op on Sept. 11, that’s what kills me,” McCollum said.

“Dementia-ridden piece of crap needs to be removed from office, it never would have happened under Trump,” McCollum also said. (Read more from “Mother of Slain Marine: ‘all You Democrats … Who Voted for [Biden], You Just Killed My Son'” HERE)

‘Was It Worth It?’ A Fallen Marine And A War’s Crushing End

By The Associated Press. She was folding a red sweater when she heard a car door slam, went to the window and realized that a moment she always imagined would kill her was about to be made real: three Marines and a Navy chaplain were walking toward her door, and that could only mean one thing. . .

Staff Sergeant Steve Bancroft began an excruciating two-hour drive toward Catherwood’s parents’ house in northern Illinois. He’d served seven months in Iraq before he became a casualty assistance officer, tasked with notifying families of a death on the battlefield. . .

“Was it worth it? We lost so many people. It’s hard to think about how many we’ve lost.” he said. (Read more from “‘Was It Worth It?’ A Fallen Marine And A War’s Crushing End” HERE)
