Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration was reportedly warned weeks ago by U.S. officials in Afghanistan that the nation was at risk of collapsing as the Taliban made rapid territorial gains. “The cable, sent via the State Department’s confidential dissent channel, warned of rapid territorial gains by the Taliban and the subsequent collapse of Afghan security forces, and offered recommendations on ways to mitigate the crisis and speed up an evacuation,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The cable, dated July 13, also called for the State Department to use tougher language in describing the atrocities being committed by the Taliban.”

Scientists sharply criticized the Biden administration's push to widely distribute Covid-19 vaccine booster shots in the U.S. next month, saying the data provided by federal health officials this week wasn't compelling enough to recommend third shots to most of the American population right now. While data suggests there is a reduction in protection against mild and moderate disease, the shots still held up well against severe disease, scientists said. "The data are showing that yes, we are seeing breakthrough infections but, the infections are mild or moderate colds," said Johns Hopkins University's Dr. Anna Durbin.

Many parents have been plagued by whether or not to vaccinate (even me), but a better question might be: How can my child receive the maximum benefit from critical immunizations while reducing potential risks and unnecessary exposures? The key is to know there is a middle ground that recognizes an individual child’s risk factors for getting sick and assesses the most appropriate timing to vaccinate based upon the least neurologically vulnerable time and the most competent time for a proper immunologic response. Immunizations have had a tremendously positive effect on the spread of contagious disease in the world. However, the...

When the Iranians took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 they took 66 Americans hostage. Today the Taliban in Afghanistan hold thousands of Americans hostage and they didn’t have to lift a finger. Joe Biden handed them over. He closed the impenetrable Bagram air base that provided air cover and an escape hatch, pulled out the 2,500 U.S. troops, lowered the American flag and shuttered the U.S Embassy. In addition, he handed over billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment and the keys. He surrendered. It’s hard to argue with British Daily Mail newspaper columnist Andrew Neil when...

North Texas doctors have quietly developed a plan that seeks to prepare for the possibility that due to the COVID-19 surge the region will run out of intensive-care beds. If that happens, for the first time, doctors officially will be allowed to take vaccination status of sick patients into account along with other triage factors to see who gets a bed. A copy of an internal memo written by Dr. Robert Fine, co-chair of the North Texas Mass Critical Care Guideline Task Force, was sent to members of the task force -- and leaked to The Watchdog. It summarizes the...

Alan M. Gottlieb, the Second Amendment Foundation’s founder and executive vice president, says that out of the swirling chaos may come a silver lining for American gun owners. “The silver lining might be that there’s such a mess going on, they won’t have time to put through their anti-gun agenda, because right now they have so much other stuff on their plate,” Gottlieb said Sunday night on Armed American Radio. “Gun control may not be anywhere near the front burner for Biden now because of all the other problems he’s got to worry about,” Gottlieb said. “Right now, we’ve got...

Valley Village, CA: 2 women caught on camera opening a mailbox and stealing stack of California Gov. recall election ballots.

Death and life lie in the power of the tongue. What that means is that our words actually have more power than we think they do. In the light of all the cursing and blaming, how can we tame our tongue and use our words to bless instead of curse? The answer I found in a story in Ezekiel, where the prophet is shown by God a vision of dry bones coming to life with the power of words. Our words are very much affected by what our physical eyes see. When you see a thief, what is the first...

There is Western magic in the colors red, white and blue. Old Glory. The Union Jack. The tricolor. The Aussie and New Zealand flags. It reminds us of what we have forgotten. Teamwork. Manliness. Discipline. Freedom. The sporting team based down the road from me, the Western Bulldogs, has achieved great success this year by playing lots of players. Sharing the work. Showing trust. Isn't that what life used to be like in the West? Tonight (the game starts about eleven hours after this post) the Bulldogs take on Port Power to secure a spot in the top four. Go...
