The $148 billion failure: Watchdog’s final report excoriates America’s attempt to rebuild Afghanistan
After nearly two decades of oversight, SIGAR will conclude its work early next year.
Excerpt:
More than $148 billion was spent by the U.S. government in its failed attempt to build a free Afghanistan, according to the final report by the official watchdog office, whose careful documentation of waste and fraud, and its warnings of Taliban resurgence, went largely unheeded.
For 17 years, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, or SIGAR, tracked every dollar allocated to the country for security, development, and humanitarian aid. As early as 2012, the office saw signs that the U.S. government and military’s efforts were falling short.
“A lot of people knew this wasn’t working. This war wasn’t working. In our quarterly reports we would report on ‘the number of districts falling to the Taliban is increasing’,” Gene Aloise, SIGAR’s acting inspector general, told reporters at a Defense Writers Group roundtable on Wednesday. “Our quarterly reports laid out what was happening, and you could predict the future based on what we were saying.”
Aloise spoke as SIGAR released its final report, a 125-page “forensic audit” that condenses its thousands of pages of analysis and documentation of the Afghanistan-reconstruction effort, which consumed more money than was sent to Europe under the post-World War II Marshall Plan. Per the 2025 defense authorization act, the office will close Jan. 31.
“The mission promised to bring stability and democracy to Afghanistan, yet ultimately delivered neither,” the report said. “The outcome in Afghanistan should serve as a cautionary tale for policymakers contemplating similar reconstruction efforts in the future.”
“If there is one overarching lesson to be learned from a tragedy that unfolded over 20 years, it is that any U.S. mission similar in context, scale, and ambition must confront the real possibility of failure,” it said.
Aloise said the group’s independent nature and fierce pursuit of information should also inform future watchdogs—but he fears they won’t.
Scrapped aircraft, vacant hotels, and corrupt contracts
Since SIGAR began its investigations in 2008, the watchdog has determined that $26 billion to $29 billion allocated to Afghanistan reconstruction efforts disappeared to waste, fraud, and abuse.
The U.S. government’s counternarcotics missions in Afghanistan accounted for a large chunk of wasted funds. A June 2018 SIGAR report identified that despite spending $7.3 billion on counter-drug efforts, the country was still “the world’s largest opium supplier.” and rampant corruption in the nation’s narcotics industry “made U.S. efforts to stabilize the country challenging, if not impossible.”
In 2015, SIGAR found that a $355 million USAID power plant was operating at “less than one percent of its capacity.” The next year, it found that $85 million in loans meant to build a hotel and apartments across from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul had not been repaid and had produced only “abandoned empty shells.” In 2018, it found that $486 million for 20 G-222 aircraft for the Afghan air force, purchased for $486 million, fell short of operational requirements. Some were collecting dust; others had been scrapped for “six cents per pound.”
Poor quality work by contractors also led to U.S. service member deaths, SIGAR reported. In 2012, two soldiers were killed after an improvised explosive device hidden in a culvert on a frequently used highway route detonated. An Afghan-owned construction company tasked with installing grates over the culverts did not follow contact specifications, which made them “easy to breach,” SIGAR found, adding “the company’s deceit and shoddy work made it possible for insurgents to bypass the grates and plant explosives that killed the two soldiers.”
Through investigations of criminal activity, SIGAR agents helped convict 171 U.S. and Afghan defendants, which resulted in nearly $1.7 billion in fines, restitutions, asset forfeitures, settlements and savings, the report detailed.
Aloise told reporters that the rampant corruption was perhaps the largest factor that undermined the U.S. government’s efforts in Afghanistan.
“The biggest thing throughout the whole 20 years was corruption. Corruption affected everything,” Aloise said. “It turned the population against the government that we were trying to build over there. It weakened the armed forces, it weakened everything we tried to do.”
.....About 60 percent of the $148 billion went to security initiatives, SIGAR’s report said. Some of that went to buy arms and materiel for the Afghanistan National Defense and Security Forces, included 96,000 ground vehicles, 51,180 general or light tactical vehicles, 23,825 humvees, nearly 900 armored combat vehicles, 427,300 weapons, 17,400 helmet-worn night vision devices, and at least 162 aircraft.
When the United States evacuated in August 2021, it left behind roughly $7.1 billion in equipment it had given the ANDSF, the Defense Department concluded. All of it fell into the hands of the Taliban.
“As noted above, due to the Taliban takeover, SIGAR was unable to inspect any of the equipment provided to, or facilities constructed for, the ANDSF following the Afghan government’s collapse,” the report read. “These U.S. taxpayer-funded equipment, weapons, and facilities have formed the core of the Taliban security apparatus.”

Hegseth adviser says ‘Signalgate’ report debunks allegation War Secretary shared classified intel
Tim Parlatore says report also raises concern about former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin use of personal cell phone in classified rooms.
Akey adviser to War Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the upcoming Pentagon inspector general report on so-called “Signalgate” does not find that Hegseth shared classified information when texting about upcoming strikes against the Houthis — and that the report will reveal improper cell phone practices by former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Navy Reserve Commander Tim Parlatore, a lawyer and an adviser to Hegseth, told “Just the News, No Noise” on Wednesday that the report by Pentagon inspector general Steven Stebbins — which was delivered to Congress and is now expected to be made public on Thursday — “totally exonerates” the war secretary, and that it reveals details about the extensive use of Signal by Biden national security officials as well.

“The results are already clear: historic crime reductions, major disruptions to criminal networks and record arrests across violent crime, espionage, terrorism, and child exploitation. This is the FBI doing exactly what it’s supposed to do,” Patel said in a statement.
Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino went on the offensive this week to counter anonymous complaints published by news media – including New York Post columnist Miranda Devine – from former employees alleging the bureau is suffering from systemic problems and is “rudderless.”

Canadian Euthanasia Lobby Pushes Extreme New Demand: Kill Kids
A powerful Canadian pro-euthanasia lobby group, one that enjoys full charity status from the government, is now openly campaigning for “mature minors” to be euthanized under the state-backed “assisted suicide” program.
The group, Dying with Dignity Canada (DWDC), is using its tax-advantaged position to pressure lawmakers to expand the country’s already out-of-control Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) regime to include children.
DWDC calls itself a “national human-rights charity,” claiming it exists to “improve quality of dying, protect end of dying rights, and help people across Canada avoid unwanted suffering.”
In reality, the organization is pushing an agenda that would allow the state to kill children.
The activists argue that the government should be allowed to euthanize “mature minors,” a vague term that includes anyone under 18, if they are deemed capable of making an adult-level medical decision.

Anti-Trump Judge Blocks Federal Authorities from Arresting Illegal Aliens in D.C Without a Warrant
A Democrat-aligned federal judge has stepped in to block one of President Donald Trump’s key immigration-enforcement tools in the nation’s capital, issuing a sweeping injunction that bars federal agents from conducting warrantless immigration arrests unless they can prove an illegal alien is a flight risk.
Judge Beryl Howell, a Barack Obama appointee, is long known for rulings favorable to progressive advocacy groups.
The activist judge issued the late Tuesday order while sharply rebuking Trump’s crackdown.
“This case arises in the wake of a publicly declared emergency in our Nation’s Capital, explained by the current president, in part, to ensure that ‘[t]his city will no longer be a sanctuary for illegal alien criminals,’” Howell wrote, scolding Trump’s emphasis on restoring law and order.
She went further, attacking the administration’s rhetoric:
“Such repeated conjoined use by high-ranking officials of the words ‘criminal’ and ‘alien’ prompts the need for clarification of two fundamental facts in reviewing the two pending motions brought by individual immigrants and an immigrant-focused organization in this case.”

Trump Confirms Plan to Strike Narco-Terrorists on Land
Speaking during a Tuesday Cabinet meeting, Trump said the Pentagon’s lethal strikes on drug-trafficking vessels, which have become a hallmark of “Operation Southern Spear,” will no longer be limited to maritime targets.
“We’re going to start doing those strikes on land too,” the president said.
“The land is much easier. It’s much easier.
“And we know the routes they take.
“We know everything about them.
“We know where they live,” he warned.
“We know where bad ones live, and we’re going to start that very soon, too.”

Homeland Security Warns Criminal Illegal Aliens Are Shielded from Justice in NYC
New York City’s “sanctuary” policies are under fire for reportedly harboring thousands of criminal illegal aliens, shielding them from federal authorities, justice, and deportation.
According to Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, the Big Apple is currently harboring 7,169 known criminal illegal aleins.
It’s a situation McLaughlin argues endangers public safety due to the city’s refusal to cooperate with immigration enforcement, Breitbart reported.
McLaughlin dropped this bombshell during a recent interview with Fox News.
She is pointing a finger at “sanctuary city” rules that prevent local officials from turning over these individuals to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Among this staggering number, McLaughlin highlighted that “hundreds of murderers, hundreds of sexual predators, drug traffickers, the worst of the worst” are housed in NYC jails.
Instead of facing deportation, these individuals are often released back onto the streets, free to potentially commit further crimes in deep blue “sanctuary” havens like New York or Chicago.

Putin Warns Russia Is ‘Ready’ If Europe ‘Suddenly Wants to Wage War with Us’
Russian President Vladimir Putin has just escalated tensions with Europe by warning that Moscow is fully prepared to respond if European nations provoke a war, even as diplomatic talks with the United States continue behind the scenes.
Putin’s comments came on Tuesday during a forum appearance in Moscow.
During the event, Putin claimed that European leaders are deliberately undermining U.S.-led peace efforts and blocking progress toward ending the nearly four-year conflict in Ukraine.
According to the Associated Press, Putin said:
“But if Europe suddenly wants to wage a war with us and starts it, we are ready right away.
“There can be no doubt about that.”
The Russian leader insisted, as he has throughout the conflict, that Moscow is not seeking confrontation with Europe.
But he argued that European officials have introduced “demands that are absolutely unacceptable to Russia” and “blocked the entire peace process,” accusing them of doing so to later place the blame on Moscow.
Putin made the remarks shortly before meeting at the Kremlin with a high-level U.S. delegation that included Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Dutch Government Moves to Lift All Restrictions on Euthanasia
The Dutch government is taking a stunning step toward fully decriminalizing euthanasia, preparing to eliminate the last remaining restrictions on state-sanctioned assisted suicide after a lobbying blitz from far-left activist groups.
Dutch media reports confirm that Parliament will now debate a proposal that would allow unrestricted, open-ended euthanasia, turning the Netherlands into one of the most radical death regimes on Earth.
A petition demanding full legalization surpassed the required 75,000 signatures and is backed by the NGO Stichting Levenseinderegie (the End-of-Life Self-Direction Foundation).
The far-left group led by psychologist-turned-euthanasia evangelist Wim van Dijk.
The NGO openly campaigns for a future in which virtually anyone, regardless of medical condition, age, or circumstance, can receive state-approved suicide on demand.
Globalist Death Model Spreading Worldwide
The Netherlands already legalized euthanasia in 2002, but with guardrails, at least on paper.
Those limits required physician approval, certain qualifying conditions, and safeguards.
However, critics have been warning that those “safeguards” were a façade, and they were right.
Now, activists and radical lawmakers from the left-wing Democrats 66 (D66) party are preparing to introduce legislation next session that would strip away the remaining restrictions entirely.
The Netherlands has seen explosive growth in state-sanctioned deaths.
In 2025 alone, the government killed a staggering 10,000 Dutch residents via euthanasia, according to DutchNews.
However, experts warn the real number may be far higher.
Alex Schadenberg of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition says the Dutch government doesn’t even report all euthanasia deaths.
In a government-commissioned review, investigators uncovered:
• 9,038 euthanasia deaths
• 245 assisted suicides
• 517 deaths where life was ended without explicit request

The WHO’s new fertility guidelines call on countries to promote embryo-destroying IVF and urge that homosexuals and gender-confused people can ‘to fulfill their fertility preferences.’
“Implementation should also align with comprehensive, rights-based approaches to sexual and reproductive health – including fertility care – that empower people throughout their lives to make informed, individual decisions about whether and when to have children,” an accompanying news release states, suggesting that people have a “right” to kill their preborn baby in the womb.
“The prevention and treatment of infertility must be grounded in gender equality and reproductive rights,” Dr. Pascale Allotey, director of WHO’s Department of Sexual, Reproductive, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health and Aging and the United Nations’ Special Program on Human Reproduction,” stated in a news release. “Empowering people to make informed choices about their reproductive lives is a health imperative and a matter of social justice.”

Writing for National Review, pro-life researcher and statistician Dr. Michael New said JAMA’s study found that the law has reduced abortions more than 18 percent over the past four years.
“While abortion numbers fell among all age demographics, the results indicate the incidence of abortion fell the most among Texans younger than 18 years of age,” he said of the report’s findings.

“This is a big step – a courageous step really – for the school. I believe Dr. Foys is committed to restoring the Catholic identity of Benedictine,” he said.
“[At] most universities we work with we face opposition from faculty and staff. It gives me hope that Dr. Foys was here. Our Lady will surely provide the resources needed for Benedictine to continue to grow in its Catholic identity.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — On Nov. 5, ICE Buffalo officers arrested an illegal alien from Turkey who — during his apprehension — violently resisted officers’ commands to exit his vehicle and attempted to grab one of the officer’s tasers, yelling “Allahu Akbar” as he was removed from the vehicle. Saim Irgi, 39, was subdued after an officer tased him. He has a violent criminal history, including charges for assault in New Jersey and charges for strangulation, assault and recklessly endangering in Pennsylvania.
“Saim Irgi is a violent criminal offender and a significant public safety threat to the residents of western New York,” said ICE Buffalo acting Field Office Director Tammy Marich. “The officers of ICE Buffalo will continue to work tirelessly to arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens from the United States.”

Here is one of the latest results of the IDF’s campaign to hunt down and kill all those who participated in the October 7, 2023 atrocities: “WATCH: IDF kills senior PIJ Gaza City Brigade cmdr. who infiltrated Kibbutz Nahal Oz on Oct. 7,”
Alaa al-Din Abd al-Nasser Hasan Khudar, a Nukhba commander within Palestinian Islamic Jihad Gaza City Brigade, was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip, the military said on Monday.
Khudar infiltrated Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7, 2023, and continued attacks on Israel throughout the war, according to the IDF.
Kibbutz Nahal Oz was among the communities hardest hit on Oct. 7, with residents killed, wounded, and abducted.
The strike followed Islamic Jihad and Hamas violations of the ceasefire, including reportedly firing at Israeli forces on November 22, according to the military.

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries (followers)! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy…A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity…Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

Two Virginia brothers arrested for plot to wipe federal databases, steal sensitive records
Two brothers from Alexandria, Virginia have been arrested and accused of scheming to destroy government databases hosted by a federal contractor, an alleged retaliation effort that authorities say disrupted federal operations and put sensitive information at risk.
Federal prosecutors say the defendants, Muneeb Akhter and Sohaib Akhter, both 34, used their access as government contractors to target systems tied to multiple US agencies after their employment ended. The brothers were indicted Nov. 13 and face a range of charges tied to unauthorized computer access, database deletions, and theft of government information.
“These defendants abused their positions as federal contractors to attack government databases and steal sensitive government information,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, adding that the alleged acts jeopardized system security and interfered with agencies’ ability to serve the public.
US Attorney Lindsey Halligan for the Eastern District of Virginia said the case reflects an effort to hold accountable anyone who “abuses the trust placed in them to safeguard vital government information” and deliberately compromises government data infrastructure.

Owens posted on X Tuesday that she would “be naming names and providing evidence” to support her allegations, which have involved French paratroopers, the Egyptian military and TPUSA leadership.
Ever since Charlie’s murder, Candace Owens has leveled a flood of allegations against people at Turning Point USA, people at Turning Point Action and people who work for this show. She’s made them against some of Charlie’s closest friends and against some of his most dedicated employees.”

Christmas markets across Europe are being hijacked by violent Muslims determined to wreck the season. In Milan, a Muslim mob stormed the city center, climbing statues, waving militant flags, and unleashing ear-splitting chants to drown out Christmas music and terrorize families trying to enjoy the market. What should have been a night of lights and tradition instead turned into a menacing spectacle, as parents grabbed their children and police struggled to restore order in the heart of the holiday season.

Islamic Terror Flags Raised Over Votive Church in Vienna
Terrorist flags were raised on the Votivkirche, Vienna’s second-tallest church built in the 19th century. The Archdiocese condemned the act, distanced itself firmly, and is weighing legal steps while police investigate without named suspects.
They used cranes.
Make no mistake, this was allowed.
You don’t just move a 200 foot crane next to a Cathedral without local and governmental approval. The politicians of Vienna hate their constituents and are telling them. “We are replacing you.”

House Bill Targets Muslim Brotherhood For FULL TERROR DESIGNATION
The House is looking to go further than the Trump administration did in the president’s executive order.
Just over a week after the Trump administration announced moves to designate branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations, the House Foreign Affairs Committee is set to discuss and vote on legislation that aims to classify the entire organization globally as a terrorist group on Wednesday.

I remember some Democrat threatening to go after anyone that contributed to the Trump 2020 campaign; they made no distinction between large donations or small donations.
