The U.S. has provided an estimated $83 billion worth of training and equipment to Afghan security forces since 2001. This year, alone, the U.S. military aid to Afghan forces was $3 billion. Putting price tags on American military equipment still in Afghanistan isn’t an easy task. In the fog of war – or withdrawal – Afghanistan has always been a black box with little sunshine. Not helping transparency, the Biden Administration is now hiding key audits on Afghan military equipment. The Taliban has seized US weapons left in Afghanistan worth billions — possibly including 600,000 assault rifles, some 2,000 armored...

President Biden said on Friday that his administration is focused on getting Americans out of Afghanistan by Aug. 31, but said that he was also committed to trying to evacuate as many Afghan translators and others who assisted the U.S. government — a goal he said was “equally important, almost” to evacuating Americans. Taking reporters’ questions for the first time since Aug. 10, Biden said he believed that the U.S. could accomplish its mission of evacuating Americans and others by an Aug. 31 deadline, but that “we’re going to make that judgment as we go.” He also said the U.S....

When Tony Coelho wrote the American with Disabilities Act 31 years ago, his goal was to ensure that people with disabilities could participate in the workforce with equal opportunities of inclusion and success. Three decades later, people with disabilities — the largest minority group in the country — remain underrepresented in the workforce, particularly within the federal workforce. But Biden’s administration went one step further! They even fired their ASL interpreter after her support for former President Donald Trump was uncovered in videos posted online.

OPINION: This article contains commentary which reflects the author’s opinion There’s a reason people call him “creepy Joe.” During his much-criticized town hall on CNN, Joe Biden denied sucking the blood of children.

During the CNN town hall, Biden said: The idea that the Democrats or the Biden is hiding people and sucking the blood of children, no I’m serious, that’s the — Now you may not like me and...

Back in September last year, Kamala Harris said that President Donald Trump’s word alone on any potential coronavirus vaccine is not enough. Asked by CNN’s Dana Bash on whether she would get a vaccine that was approved and distributed before the election, Harris replied, “Well, I think that’s going to be an issue for all of us.” “I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he’s talking about,” she continued in the clip from an exclusive interview...

The so-called ‘Trump Card’ details that the former president’s best chances of retaking his seat in the Oval Office before the 2024 election is by getting him placed in the House Speakership post and ultimately leading Congress in impeaching and removing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris from office.

90 Days since she was tapped as the point person on the Border by the Biden Administration, Kamala Harris finally visits the border. Her performance in this arena has been so bad, even far-left publications are critical of her actions: The liberal Los Angeles Times said Vice President Kamala Harris has been ineffective in her role only five months after fawning over her so hard that the paper’s coverage was labeled “inappropriate and disappointing.” The L.A. paper was ridiculed on social media in January when it announced “Covering Kamala Harris,” a project described as “a beat dedicated to her historic...

Months into Joe Biden’s first term, supporters of former President Donald Trump are still claiming that Trump actually won the 2020 election. Even liberal media outlets reported that roughly one-third of Americans believe that President Biden’s 2020 electoral victory was the result of widespread voter fraud, according to a new Monmouth University poll. Thirty-two percent of respondents say fraud was the reason Biden won the presidential election, maintaining a trend that has taken hold over the past seven months. In similar Monmouth polls conducted in November, January, and March, the number of voters who believe that fraud cost former President...

Instead, the seven youths ages 14 to 19 were suffering from a very...
