VIDEOSo just how widespread was the skepticism over the Secret Service quickly closing its investigation into who left cocaine in the White House? It was so widespread that even Andrew Weissman did not buy into the Secret Service coverup. In fact, I was only able to find ONE person who mildly supported the Secret Service, Congressman Jared Moskowitz of Florida, but he was embarrassingly shut down after being schooled on this by Piers Morgan. If I find anyone out there who pretends the Secret Service did a good job investigating this matter I'll let you know but as of this...

A senior White House adviser said the Justice Department will set the amount of compensation if it deems that paying migrants separated from their families will save taxpayers money — payments that run as much as $450,000 or more. “If the DOJ determines that it saves the taxpayers money and it rights a wrong, then they will make the determination that is necessary and I would assume if they make a determination, they’ll come up with what they think is an adequate dollar amount,” Cedric Richmond said on “Fox News Sunday.” R​ichmond said the Justice Department is making its decision...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said she was 'not going to get into' the bombshell July 23 phone call between President Biden and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, where he implored the Afghan leader to 'change the perception' of the war with the Taliban. Psaki refused to comment as Republicans tore into the call where Biden told Ghani to try and show the world they were beating the Taliban 'whether it is true or not.' 'I'm not going to get into private diplomatic conversations or leaked transcripts of phone calls,' the press secretary told reporters Wednesday.

President Biden pressured Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani to create the “perception” that the Taliban weren’t winning, “whether it’s true or not,” in a phone just three weeks before the insurgents seized control of the country, a bombshell leaked transcript shows. Biden and Ghani spoke for roughly 14 minutes on July 23 in what would be their final call before the Taliban overran the government and Afghanistan descended into bloody chaos amid the botched US withdrawal, according to a transcript and audio obtained by Reuters. Much of the call was focused on what Biden referred to as the Afghan government’s “perception”...

The Taliban have seized an air force worth tens of millions of pounds, including US-bought helicopters and attack planes, giving them more aerial firepower than a third of Nato members. Over the last few months, the jihadists have captured 10 major airfields from Bagram to Mazar-i-Sharif, and today took to the skies in a $6 million Black Hawk helicopter in their fight against the resistance in the Panjshir Valley. Taliban chiefs are reported to have ordered their troops to hunt down pilots from the disbanded Afghan Air Force, who received expensive training from the US and its allies to fly...

The Biden administration is considering sending economic aid to the Taliban, even as the militants hold mock funerals for American troops and NATO allies to celebrate the end of the 20-year US military intervention in Afghanistan. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told ABC's Good Morning America that the U.S. intends to continue sending health, food and other forms of humanitarian aid to the Afghan people. He also said that other forms of cash aid, including economic and developmental assistance, would depend on whether the Taliban 'follow through on their commitments' including to allow safe passage for Americans still in...

The mother of a Marine killed in the Kabul airport attack called President Joe Biden a 'dementia-riddent piece of crap' as the president meets with families of the 13 fallen service members on Sunday 'My son was one of the Marines that died yesterday,' Kathy McCollum said in a radio interview on Friday of her 20-year-old late son Rylee. '[He was] getting ready to come home from freaking Jordan to be with his wife to watch the birth of his son,' McCollum said. 'And that sackless, dementia ridden piece of crap just sent my son to die.' 'I woke up...

He and Jill Biden will shortly arrive at the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to attend the "dignified transfer" of 13 military personnel killed in a terror attack at Kabul airport. This is a military ritual of receiving the remains of fallen troops killed in foreign combat. The dead ranged in age from 20 to 31. "The 13 service members that we lost were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our highest American ideals and while saving the lives of others," President Biden said in a statement Saturday. "Their bravery and selflessness has enabled more than...

Lara Logan @laralogan · 5h Most Americans don’t understand what’s happening in Kabul - been on this all night again w no end. US citizens are fighting through enemy lines to get to the airport. When they show their blue passport to 82nd soldiers at the gate, many are turned away & sent back to the Taliban.

Hillary Clinton’s physical and perhaps mental decline is Barack Obama’s ticket to a 3rd term in office, when he fundamentally transforms Hillary from shrill to shill There’s a Doctor’s Note that Hillary Clinton will be using for the rest of the 2016 election campaign. The metaphoric doctor’s note being sent to all long-suffering patriots: ‘To Whom it May Concern: Mrs. Clinton cannot possibly appear in a presidential debate with the scurrilous Donald J. Trump, tonight, next week, the week after that or in the foreseeable future.’ ‘Go home. Take an aspirin (if you can still find one) and don’t bother...

Trump Complains America Leads Too Much, Wants Diminished Role in NATO Calls America a 'poor country' Republican front-runner Donald Trump expressed his distaste for how often America takes a leadership role in international affairs on Monday. Trump was specifically upset with the role the United States plays in NATO. “Ukraine is a country that affects us far less than it affects other countries in NATO, and yet we’re doing all of the lifting,” Trump told The Washington Post. “They’re not doing anything. And I say, ‘Why is it that Germany’s not dealing with NATO on Ukraine? Why is it that...
