fromMilitaryTimes: “Afghanistan translator who risked his life to save U.S. forces: The US have left us behind for these kinds of humans to kill one by one.” Biden's surrender is an American disgrace.

fromLawofficer: "If you are a police officer working for anyone but Congress, do not expect the treatment that Lt. Byrd got. Your identity will not be hidden and the media will not treat you like a hero…especially if you shoot and kill an unarmed woman that is a different color than you for committing a misdemeanor crime."

fromJonathanTurley: Not only was there no claim that Babbitt was believed to be armed, but there were officers directly behind her and in front of her at the time. As I noted earlier, if the officer intended to shoot Babbitt, it would not likely meet the standard for a justified shooting under governing cases like Tennessee v. Garner (1985). 

fromAmericanGreatness: Afghanistan explodes the technocratic legitimacy of our administrative masters. 

fromMises: This began the era of a global fiat money, debt-fueled economy. Since then, crises are more frequent but also shorter and always “solved” by adding more debt and more money printing.

fromDailyMail: He also said he would have still pulled troops from Afghanistan without former President Donald Trump's deal to get everyone out by May 1 in a reversal of his finger-pointing at his predecessor for the chaos. 

fromReason: The case is the latest example of people who say their savings were seized in airports, despite it being perfectly legal to fly domestically with large amounts of cash. 

fromWashingtonExaminer: Plenty of vice presidents have been actively destructive. But aside from that cackle driving down Democratic turnout, no other vice president has been remotely this useless in this century.
