US troops injured in 'suicide bombing' at Kabul airport - reports Our chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay says he understands the explosion took place in a sewage canal outside the airport, where thousands have gathered in a bid to board flights since the Taliban takeover on 15 August. Ramsay - who was until recently on the ground in Kabul - says this event could mark the end of the airlift from Afghanistan. The journalist added it is understood that American soldiers were injured in the blast, which US officials believe was an attack by a suicide bomber. He said: "From our...

TWENTY-FIRST WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME MATTHEW 24:42-51 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus praises the faithful servant who served his master in a theo-drama. We are called to serve our Master in the same way. A theo-drama is written and directed by God. On the great stage that is the created universe and according to the prototype that is Christ, we are invited to “act,” to find and play our role in God’s theater. The problem is that the vast majority of us think that we are the directors, writers, and above all, stars of our own “ego-dramas,” with other people...

Corrupt Obama judge Linda Parker was somehow chosen for the 2020 Election case in Michigan where mountains of corruption took place that led to stealing the election from President Trump in late-night ballot dumps in the state. She ended the case. Judge Parker was mentioned due to her actions involving a case the Democrats in Michigan took out against attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood for claiming the election was stolen. Now today we find out that the corrupt Obama judge agreed with her fellow Democrats and ordered Powell and Wood to go to training, pay the state’s costs in...

(CNN)As polls have tightened dramatically in recent weeks in the effort to recall Gavin Newsom, the Democratic California governor and his allies have been warning of doomsday scenarios if he is ousted on September 14 and replaced by a conservative Republican bent on unraveling the state's progressive agenda. But as some of the major candidates vying to replace Newsom met for a debate in Sacramento Wednesday night -- where they portrayed him as ill-equipped to handle the state's many crises -- there are some early signs that rank-and-file Democrats aren't wasting time returning their vote-by-mail ballots in their effort to...

There is reason to believe that we are approaching the end of an era of freedom on the internet. Recently, Apple announced that it will deploy a new algorithm, NeuralMatch, to monitor iMessages and images on its devices. The ostensible purpose is to scan for photos containing nudity sent by or to children and also for photos of nude or seminude children. If a number of suspect images are backed up to an iCloud account, they will be decrypted and inspected, and the user reported to law enforcement. Police could then investigate or prosecute the user for possession of child...

Representative Bennie Thompson (D-MS), chair of the House Select Committee investigating January 6, said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that his committee had “information” that individuals were planning in anticipation of the election not going their way. Thompson said, “Clearly, a lot of us at this point feel that had January 6 been successful, this democracy would not be what it is today. So we came real close. So by getting this information, we think it will provide the necessary direction for us to correct it so that the military or no other branch of government can be...

JUST IN - Large explosion at Abbey gate at the #Kabul airport.

Most people who actually follow what is going on know that Resident Biden is NOT in charge of the U.S. government. Which begs the obvious question–WHO IS? SOMEBODY is calling the shots. And we are wasting a lot of time and trouble going after Biden when he’s just a front man anyway. Actually, I’ve been wondering about this since the “election.” It’s obvious that there was a great deal of collusion (you thought that word was only to be used when referring to President Trump, right?) necessary to pull off the great steal. So how come we don’t have this...

A video has emerged that appears to show Taliban fighters taking a Black Hawk helicopter on a joyride at an Afghan airport — the latest example of how the insurgents are flaunting their newly acquired military gear and rubbing it in America’s face. The former Afghan air force UH-60 Black Hawk is seen taxiing at an airport in Afghanistan, according to the Independent. However, it does not appear to leave the ground in the footage. Russian television network RT and tech and motoring outlet The Drive identified the airfield as Kandahar Airport in southeastern Afghanistan. Joseph Dempsey, a research associate...

As Joe Biden “takes a knee to the Taliban” and it has been suggested that we absorb millions of Afghan migrants, a simple question is largely unasked: Why aren’t Muslim countries “stepping forward to take care of their co-religionists”? as American Thinker puts it. “Isn’t it time they did?”

My fellow InsiderNJ columnist, Fred Snowflack, authored an excellent column on Monday, August 16 that was a rarity in journalistic accomplishment. It achieved the objective of being both relevantly informative and highly entertaining. In the column, “Christie Tees off on Murphy at Bucco Golf Outing,” Fred described a verbal eruption of former Governor Chris Christie regarding New Jersey incumbent Governor Phil Murphy. In my view, the words of the former governor reflected a highly vitriolic tone. If you do not believe me, read the column yourself: https://www.insidernj.com/christie-tees-off-murphy-bucco-golf-outing/ I find it hard to understand why Chris Christie should feel any bitterness...

One big barometer of how far Joe Biden's credibility has fallen in the wake of his Afghanistan disaster is that even Politico is now calling his credibility into question. An example of this is a Tuesday article by Lara Seligman, Alex Thompson, and Alexander Ward which shreds the administration's public stance versus the reality on the ground in "‘The definition of gaslighting’: As chaos unfolds at Kabul airport, Biden team projects calm."
