By Douglas Andrews While the White House did damage control, GOP House members pressed Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley for answers. Whenever a leftist complains that he was “taken out of context,” you know you’ve got the goods on him. Such was the case yesterday, when White House flacks tried to say Joe Biden  didn’t lie  when ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos  challenged him  last month: “Your top military advisers warned against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep 2,500 troops.” “No, they didn’t,” replied Biden. “That wasn’t true.” It  was  true, though, and all three of Biden’s senior-most military advisers  confirmed it  Tuesday during testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, and again yesterday before the House Armed Services Committee. And no amount of pathetic spin from the White House can make it otherwise. But Mike Gwin, the Biden White House’s “rapid response director,” has spent much of the last two days ...

Skip to Comments By Amrita Jash Pakistan’s support for the Taliban is not surprising. The international community needs to take stock of Pakistan’s moves in the Taliban-led Afghanistan, and to observe how the Pakistan-China nexus will be played out in the war-torn country. The nexus is already taking root in Afghanistan as witnessed in the coordinated efforts between Islamabad, Beijing, and the Taliban. That is, while Pakistan  called  the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul “breaking the chains of slavery,” China has endorsed the new “interim government” of the Taliban by calling it a “necessary step” to restore order and “end anarchy.” Furthermore, on Sept. 8, the Pakistani government led the initiative of organizing a foreign ministers’ meeting on the Afghan issue, which was attended by China, Iran, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. At the meeting, China  announced  that it would donate 200 million yuan ($31 million) worth of aid, including grains, winter...

Skip to Comments By Raymond Ibrahim A “moderate” Muslim cleric and counter-terrorism advisor to the U.K. government was recently  caught  on film referring to Israel as a “terrorist state” and praising “martyrs”—jihadist code for suicide bombers. During his speech, Imam Irfan Chishti  told  the crowd that “if they wanted to become ‘mujahideen,’ holy warriors, then they should emulate the Muslim general Saladin, who expelled the Crusaders from Palestine in 1187.”  He then lamented, “Where is the modern-day Saladin?” The choice of Saladin is interesting in that he is in many ways emblematic of Palestinian terrorism: widely seen, especially in the West, as a freedom fighter and liberator, the sultan was in fact a terrorist of the ISIS variety.  Consider some brief facts about this historical figure that is otherwise extolled both in the Muslim and Western worlds.  According to his biographer, Baha’ al-Din, Saladin loved hearing Koran ...

Skip to Comments By ROBERT SPENCER JetBlue Flight 261 was heading out of Boston for San Juan, Puerto Rico, Wednesday night when, according to an  FBI affidavit , “an unruly passenger” had to be “physically restrained by flight crew members in response to a physical altercation during the passenger’s attempt to gain access to the flight deck.” A little over an hour before the flight reached San Juan, the passenger, Khalil El Dahr, “attempted to make a telephone call and became angry about the call’s unsuccess.” This must have been a supremely important phone call, for a few minutes later, El Dahr “pulled himself out of his seat and rushed toward the flight deck yelling to be shot in the Spanish language.” At that point, a flight attendant (FA) “physically redirected El Dahr into the area in front of the front row before the galley.” However, in a spectacular instance of poor judgment, bad timing, or both, “as the JetBlue FA had El Dahr corralled in the area before...

Skip to Comments By Kyle Becker President Joe Biden made an appearance at the Congressional baseball game on Wednesday night, which was held at the Washington Nationals’ stadium. As Biden appeared to near the Republicans’ dugout, he was soundly booed.

Biden hugged Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was in attendance. Neither were wearing masks. Joe Biden had earlier canceled a trip to Chicago , purportedly so he can work on his legislative agenda. “In meetings and calls over the weekend and through today, ...

Skip to Comments By Matt Vespa If you support Second Amendment rights, you know California, like most Democrat-run states, is a hell hole. If you’re a gun owner and live in the Golden State, what in God’s name are you thinking by sticking around here? It’s one of the most anti-gun states in the country. Almost every item the anti-gun Left wants is the law—and the state still has mass shootings. Once again, it shows that criminals don’t follow the law, that gun control only hurts law-abiding Americans, and most of all the Democrat’s gun agenda simply doesn’t work. It’s also unconstitutional. The end goal is a total gun ban. The end goal is confiscation. They can’t do that…yet. In the meantime, the state has allowed gun owners’ personal information to be shared with researchers. Why? The state won’t say which is all you need to know. Doxxing is bad… unless  you own a firearm which is a constitutionally protected right (via  The Reload ): California gun owners ...
