EXCLUSIVE — The former U.S. Army major and self-described “soldier of Allah” behind the deadly 2009 massacre at Fort Hood cheered the resurgent Taliban ’s takeover of Afghanistan in a letter obtained exclusively by the Washington Examiner. Writing from death row at Fort Leavenworth , Nidal Hasan boasted “We Have Won” and congratulated the Taliban.
The Biden administration is reportedly planning to sue the state of Texas over a new law that bans most abortions.
The Justice Department could file the lawsuit as soon as Thursday, two sources familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.
The law that took effect last week exposes abortion providers to financial penalties if they terminate pregnancies once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually at around six weeks. It is the strictest abortion law in the country, and has drawn furious backlash from pro-abortion groups after surviving a Supreme Court challenge.
The DOJ is expected to argue in it suit that the Texas law illegally interferes with federal interests
Biden's $3.5 Trillion 'Infrastructure'
Plan Includes Massive Attacks on

Plan Includes Massive Attacks on
U.S. Energy Producers replies
The American Petroleum Institute and others are sounding the alarm about hidden provisions in the Democrats’ massive infrastructure bill. The $3.5 trillion bill includes a great deal of spending that has nothing to do with infrastructure, and according to the API it also includes pernicious attacks on U.S. energy producers. That’s included in the bill’s latest mark-up.
The energy-related provisions take direct aim and production on federal leases, which Biden already paused via executive order but then lost on when several states took him to court. The provisions in the so-called infrastructure bill go far beyond even what Biden’s lease pause sought

Just three months into Joe Biden’s presidency, his polling numbers were already showing signs that the honeymoon was over. A Washington Post/ABC News poll taken at the time showed that despite incessant media fangirling, Biden’s approval rating sat at 52%, which was the third-lowest 100-day rating since the days of President Harry Truman.
Things haven’t gotten any better since that time as Biden has taken hits for his handling of the economy, the Wuhan virus pandemic, the border crisis, and Afghanistan. In fact, a trifecta of polls released within a 24-hour time span of each other last week showed some of the worst numbers of his presidency but he still
A California memorial honoring the 13 U.S. service members who died last month in Afghanistan was vandalized on Monday. Images show a majority of the 13 American flags and single Marine Corps flag, which were lined up alongside a freeway in Riverside, torn across with fabric hanging down. "Recently after the deaths of our 13 United States Service Members killed in Afghanistan, 13 American Flags and 1 Marine Corp flag were placed on the fence to the Ivy Street overpass to the 91 Freeway in Riverside as a memorial," the Riverside Police Department wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
MINNEAPOLIS — From deep fried, spiced Tilapia in Willo’s, to the sweet and spicy Somali Tea at Hamdi, the Twin Cities Somali mall, Karmel Mall, is surprise after surprise. “This is the suqq, the mecca of Somali shopping,” said Twin Cities chef and consultant Jamal Hashi. (Snip) “It’s awesome,” said Sulakha Hassan, a San Diego resident visiting the Twin Cities on her fourth visit to Karmel Mall. She explained why Somalis traditionally eat with their hands. “As Somalis and Muslims it’s both cultural and religious,” she said.Chef Hashi’s family has run restaurants in Minnesota for decades, helping to introduce a
Former President Trump delivered a double barreled blast on Wednesday, condemning the 'desecration' of a monument to Robert E. Lee and claiming the Confederate general would have led troops to victory in Afghanistan. He delivered his verdict after America's largest Confederate statue—the 12-ton bronze monument Lee in Richmond, Virginia—was removed from its pedestal.
'Black Lives Matter' supporters chanted and sang 'Na Na Hey Hey' as it was winched away. 'Our culture is being destroyed and our history and heritage, both good and bad, are being extinguished by the radical left, and we can’t let that happen,' said Trump in an emailed statement.
St. Paul's Hmong Cultural Center was vandalized early Wednesday, weeks before its museum was set to open to the public. Director of Programs Mark Pfeifer found the University Avenue building drenched in white paint when he arrived at work Wednesday morning. Stenciled over the paint was "Life, Liberty, Victory," a phrase associated with a white nationalist hate group.(Snip)"I mean, it was shocking." Vandals spray painted over Black artwork on plywood boards that have protected the Cultural Center since its windows were broken during last summer's unrest after George Floyd's murder by a Minneapolis police officer. The tattoo parlor next door caught much of the incident on camera
Lucianne Goldberg is a conservative literary agent who was an important player in the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal because she urged Pentagon civil servant Linda Tripp to tape her conversations with Lewinsky about the president.
Goldberg’s role in the saga was resurrected by ABC in 2019 in a two-hour documentary called Truth and Lies, and she plays a key role in the new FX series, Impeachment: American Crime Story, which chronicles the saga of Lewinsky, Tripp, and the president.
Donald Trump appears to have gone a step further than the currently appointed president by sending a heartfelt public message to one of the Gold Star mothers. “Thank you, Kathy. America feels your loss and fully understands your pain. Rylee will never be forgotten,” Trump wrote in a statement. Donald Trump was replying to Kathy McCollum, Mother of Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, USMC, who had written the 45th President: “Thank you. Just want the family to know I support them. We need the corrupt pseudo president gone. President Trump has to run. My son should not be gone. President Trump would never allowed this to happen.

The National Archives Records Administration placed a “harmful content” warning on the Constitution, labeling the governing document of the United States as “harmful or difficult to view.” The warning applies to all documents across the Archives’ cataloged website, including the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.“NARA’s records span the history of the United States, and it is our charge to preserve and make available these historical records,” the administration said in a statement. “As a result, some of the materials presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly violent views and opinions.
President Joe Biden continues to baffle Americans with remarks that indicate that he is not actually in charge of his own presidential administration. (Video) “I am sorry to go on so long,” Biden said. “But I can’t, I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for the country. And what you’ve done for me over my career. You’ve educated me. You’ve brought me along. And you’ve always been there.”“Now, I am supposed to stop and walk out of the room here,” Biden said. “I am going to stop, and with your permission, I am going to walk into the room and say hello.”The labor union he was addressing chortled
Denmark has proposed making migrants work 37 hours a week to earn welfare benefits because 'there are too many, especially with non-Western backgrounds, who do not have a job'. The proposal by the minority Social Democratic government, a traditionally left wing administration that has adopted right wing anti-immigration policies, would require migrants who have been on benefits for at least three years to find work. It said the programme was necessary because many women of foreign descent do not work, especially those with roots in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkey.(Snip)The programme would start with those who are able to speak some Danish
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded grants to five universities to study whether or not there is a link between having abnormal periods and the COVID-19 vaccine. In the U.S., there have been thousands of accounts of women who have gotten vaccinated against the virus and later had periods that came earlier usual, felt heavier or just appeared irregular. And a report from The Sunday Times in June found that 4,000 women in the UK had temporary changes in their menstrual cycles after getting vaccinated.(Snip)The five studies will likely recruit between 400,000 and 500,000 participants, including adolescents, transgender women and nonbinary people,
President Biden is firing all military academy board members who were appointed by former President Donald Trump—regardless of their qualifications—in a purge that’s drawing stiff pushback because their terms were supposed to last three years. Six presidential appointees on each academy board—18 people in total—were told to resign by 6 p.m. Wednesday or be fired. “I think this complete purge shows that the administration is hellbent on the woke mob controlling or having input into military education. Otherwise, why do it?” said one of the board members, who pointed out that Trump didn’t perform a similar purge.(Snip)‘Unprecedented’ is a word you could use here,”

A case of measles has been identified at Fort McCoy Army Base in Wisconsin as thousands of Afghan refugees are housed there temporarily while they await resettlement in the United States. Fox News was able to view an internal government email on Sunday that confirms a case of measles at Fort McCoy. “All those who had been in contact with the infected person at base have been isolated, and post-exposure prophylaxis and inoculations are in process,” the email stated. Measles is highly contagious and is the primary killer of young children in Afghanistan. It is rampant among the population there.
The Democrat party is attracting an electorate defined by undergraduate and post-graduate degrees while the Republican Party is steamrolling into the 2022 midterms as a juggernaut workers party, shaped by former President Trump, a Wednesday study indicates.The study performed by the New York Times indicates those who hold an undergraduate and postgraduate degree are more likely to vote for Democrats by a combined 49 points (14 undergraduate, 35 post-graduate). Meanwhile, those who have some college or a high school diploma break for the GOP by 16 points (1 some college, 15 high school).
Like the last two Democratic presidents, Joe Biden is heading for a mid-term disaster. Just how big that disaster will be is hard to say at this point.
Will it be as bad as the 1994 Bill Clinton wipeout? Democrats lost 54 House seats and eight Senate seats, handing Republicans control of the House and Senate for the first time in more than 40 years.
Perhaps it will be as bad as Barack Obama’s Obamacare catastrophe in 2010 when Democrats lost 63 seats? The best indicator for the health of the party in power has always been the president’s approval numbers. And Biden’s numbers are in freefall.
During a Tuesday press conference in New Jersey, President Biden stumbled over his words and wound up claiming that people no longer use the word “tornado.” While this peculiar moment has been covered by a handful of news outlets that aren’t right wing by any stretch of the imagination, the Biden-friendly broadcast TV networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have avoided discussing it entirely, even though all three offered extensive coverage of his trip.
The members of Congress know from their colleagues in Congress that, you know, the, looks like a tornado — they don’t call them that anymore —
President Joe Biden marked a belated labor day at the White House Wednesday by speaking about how intimately he knew unions. 'By the way, of course, I sleep with a NEA member every night,' Biden told a crowd gathered in the East Room. 'Same one. same one,' he added as attendees applauded. As a teacher, first lady Jill Biden belongs to the National Education Association labor union. 'Jill had her first day of full time teaching yesterday—this year, back to school,' Biden also added.(Snip)Besides his cringe-worthy comment about Dr. Biden, the president leaned into the microphone at one point and, again, spoke in a whisper briefly
Eight months of bad governance are finally catching up to him, according to the latest Presidentish Joe Biden approval numbers.
Biden has lost traction with all voters, including core Democratic constituencies, pushing him below 40% — a near-record for any president in his first year in office.
The only president with worse first-year numbers — and then even only barely worse — was Donald Trump, after relentless attacks and fake RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA conspiracy theories.
Today’s numbers come from the left-leaning The Economist/YouGov Poll and are actually worse than they appear at first glance.
Joe Biden is a wild animal that can not be tamed, or at least that’s the perception White House staffers are sharing. According to Politico, some of them have gotten into the habit of muting or even turning off the president when he’s speaking because they are so anxious that he’ll go off-script, begin taking questions, or otherwise
And while this is being spun as a concern that he’ll simply end up off message, I think we all know what that really means. I suppose this is part of working for a president who is in steep mental decline, and Biden shows no signs of slowing down. The concern about messaging
Democrats may have carved out $3.5 trillion in their budget resolution for their second massive spending bill on reconciliation, but they won’t get to spend most of it. According to Axios, Senator Joe Manchin has told the White House that his target for spending is one trillion dollars, with perhaps a cap no higher than $1.5 trillion. That shaves at least two trillion dollars off of Joe Biden’s planned progressive wish list and presents new headaches for both Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi:
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) has privately warned the White House and congressional leaders that he has specific policy concerns with President Biden’s $3.5 trillion
ALBANY – Attorney General Letitia James’ office has issued a subpoena to the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics for its records on Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's book chronicling his administration's early response to the coronavirus pandemic, the Times Union has learned.
The subpoena was issued in connection with a criminal investigation that the attorney general is conducting into whether Cuomo's use of government workers to assist him in writing the book violated any laws.
James’ issuance of a grand jury subpoena in the matter does not confirm that a grand jury has begun reviewing evidence in the investigation. But it does signal
Charlotte, N.C.–Police said a deadly overnight shooting in northwest Charlotte that killed a young child appears to be tied to other recent shootings in the area. Susie Whitley, the child’s great-grandmother, said 3-year-old Asiah Fiqueroia was the victim in Tuesday night’s deadly shooting. “This should outrage everyone who hears this,” CMPD Capt. Joel McNelly said. “These incidents that are taking place that result in the loss of a 3-year-old, it is because someone’s not willing to tell us how to do better, how to stop it,” Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles said.(Snip)Several suspects fired nearly 150 rounds into the home.
President Joe Biden grew defensive after residents yelled criticism at him during a visit to New Jersey. As Biden toured destroyed homes in Manville, New Jersey, caused by flooding, two men were spotted standing in the yard of an area home where a Trump flag was flying. The pair along with other residents off-camera shouted that Biden should “go home,” “resign,” and expressed their disgust with his lack of leadership in Afghanistan. “Best friend died in Afghanistan for what? For this guy to pull this sh**?” one man yelled, citing the name of his friend who was killed.
Columnist Derek Hunter wondered why President Joe Biden went maskless in Delaware when schmoozing with union buddies but wore a face covering when visiting black people in Louisiana following the devastation of Hurricane Ida.“Why does Biden wear a mask around black people in Louisiana, but not white union guys in Delaware?” the radio show host asked on Twitter. Many thought that was a very interesting observation.On Friday, the president was seen touring storm-ravaged Louisiana, shaking hands with black people while wearing a mask, and sporting a “cheat sheet” which featured names and photographs of local officials along with talking points.
While there’s no shortage of people in America who hate the U.S., after all, that is a driving theme in many of our institutions of higher learning, it’s still hard to image someone would desecrate the memory of those who’ve given the ultimate sacrifice for their countrymen.A California memorial honoring 13 U.S. service members killed by a suicide bomber at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan has been vandalized.The memorial featured 13 American flags and one Marine Corps flag attached to an overpass fence above the 91 Freeway in Riverside, which is south of San Bernardino, and an alert citizen call police after noticing that the flags were damaged.
The War on Supplements
replies
The Food and Drug Administration -- funded and controlled by Big Pharma -- is heavily biased in favor of drugs. And since Big Pharma wants to solidify its monopoly over medicine, it has coerced the FDA to campaign to limit consumer access to non-patentable nutritional supplements, which promote health and prevent disease. Drugs, even when taken properly under prescription, cause 1.9 million hospitalizations per year and close to 900,000 patients to experience serious drug reactions, according to a Harvard report. More alarming statistics: prescription drugs are a major health risk, ranking fourth (with stroke) as a leading cause of death; and new FDA-approved prescription drugs have a one-in-five chance of
People who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 seem to be getting infected with alarming frequency, including Georgia Bulldog football players and people on social media, and that is driving talk of booster shots before waning protection against the coronavirus grows into a crisis that fills hospitals. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it knows of 12,908 hospitalizations or deaths among the 173 million people who had been fully vaccinated as of Aug. 30, though it hasn’t been closely tracking mild or asymptomatic instances of “breakthrough infections.” Local health departments are trying to fill that gap and say the odds are still vastly in favor of people
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being criticized for her use of the term “menstruating persons” as she lashed out at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over his new six-week abortion ban. The far-left New York congresswoman called Abbott “deeply ignorant” on Tuesday over the Lone Star State’s new law that prohibits almost all abortions after the six-week mark—including pregnancies that are the result of rape or incest. “I don’t know if he is familiar with a menstruating person’s body. In fact, I do know that he’s not familiar with a female or menstruating person’s body because if he did, he would know that you don’t have six weeks
The heads of the nation’s major pharmaceutical companies on Wednesday warned that Democrats’ plan to let Medicare set drug prices would push some of them out of business. The warning upped the stakes in the industry’s fight against the drug-pricing measure in President Biden’s $3.5 trillion social welfare bill, which they previously argued would hamper drugmakers’ ability to create new cures. “It’s going to wipe off the face of the earth some pharmaceutical companies that are household names,” David Ricks, CEO of Eli Lilly and Company and chairman of the industry’s lobbying group, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), said in a call with reporters.
Dan McWilliams made a spur-of-the-moment decision. That morning, hijackers crashed two planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. By half past ten, both skyscrapers had collapsed. Fires burned and toxic ash choked the air in New York’s Financial District. Nobody yet knew how many people had died—save that the number would be “more than any of us can bear,” as Mayor Rudy Giuliani told reporters that afternoon. McWilliams, a firefighter with Brooklyn’s Ladder 157, was walking past the North Cove marina, just a block from where the towers once stood, when he spotted an American flag on a yacht. Inspiration struck,

Is the Catholic Church finally showing some leadership?
Sure looks like it, with this Washington Post op-ed by San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone:
Prominent politicians lost no time in reacting hyperbolically to the Supreme Court’s decision refusing to enjoin Texas’s new law banning abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat. President Biden announced a “whole-of-government effort” to find ways to overcome the Texas measure. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) denounced the Supreme Court’s refusal as a “cowardly, dark-of-night decision to uphold a flagrantly unconstitutional assault on women’s rights and health,” and promised new legal action: “This ban necessitates codifying Roe v. Wade” in federal law.
America's largest Confederate statue - the 12-ton bronze statue of Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee - was removed from its pedestal in Richmond, Virginia, on Wednesday morning to the sound of 'black lives matter' chants and crowds singing 'Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye' in the latest victory for BLM. The 21ft bronze statute of Lee atop a horse will now be sent to the Goochland Women's Correctional Center in Virginia until officials know what to do with it permanently. It is the latest Confederate statue to have been toppled by the BLM movement amid protest from white residents who thought it should be preserved in history.
A new Texas law that drastically restricts abortion didn’t just spawn outrage from progressives. It also created a Twitter hashtag — #TexasTaliban — that trended as liberal celebrities and their followers vented their outrage at the prospect of the end of legal abortion in the Lone Star State. They spared neither the state’s legislators nor the conservative US Supreme Court majority that declined to stop the law from being implemented.
Part of this is just business as usual in American politics in 2021. We’re long past the point where civility was a concern on either side of the aisle. Too many Democrats and Republicans tend to consider their opponents evil,
Joe Biden Is a Total Failure

As cant and emotionalism subside, it is becoming possible to give a clear and fair assessment of the performance of the Biden Administration and of the president himself: a total failure.
The shortfall of 500,000 in the expected net new job figures for August shows that stagflation is upon us: employers are afraid to hire employees as they normally would coming out of the COVID recession because they don’t know if they will be able to afford them. Hourly pay scales are increasing at 7.5 percent, new car prices at 10 percent, rental accommodation at 12 percent, and new homes at 20 percent,
The State Department on Tuesday expressed concerns over the makeup of the new interim Afghan government announced by the Taliban, including the lack of female leaders and the past actions of some of those appointed to top posts.
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement shared with The Hill that although the Taliban “has presented this as a caretaker cabinet,” the U.S. “will judge the Taliban by its actions, not words.”
“We have made clear our expectation that the Afghan people deserve an inclusive government,” the spokesperson added.
"In a normal year, the Kentucky Poison Control Center might receive one call from someone who has taken ivermectin, a drug commonly used to treat parasites in livestock. But amid increasing misinformation about the drug’s ability to both treat and prevent COVID-19, that number has increased to six this year." This alarming news was published in Spectrum News - formerly known as Time Warner Cable - on August 24, 2021, and should be a lesson to every American. https://spectrumnews1.com/ky/louisville/news/2021/08/24/ivermectin-calls-to-kentucky-poison-control-are-up The lesson is not about Ivermectin being poisonous because it isn't, but about the pervasiveness of a type of new internet propaganda termed "informational flooding.” CORRECTION*
The Wall Street Journal has a long feature up today on the fact that in larger and larger numbers men have decided not to go to college. But despite its length and depth, the story is too chicken to investigate what may be the leading cause of this trend.
Let’s take in some excerpts:
Men are abandoning higher education in such numbers that they now trail female college students by record levels.

Enrollment rates for poor and working-class white men are lower than those of young Black, Latino and Asian men from the same economic backgrounds. .
Seattle, Washington, a city already ravaged by the “Defund the Police” movement, could lose at least 200 more officers over the city’s Chinese coronavirus vaccine mandate.
The officers face termination “because they’ve either not received the jab or would refuse to hand over their private medical data,” according to a report cited by Fox News on Tuesday.
“The Jason Rantz Show on the city’s KTTH said the number represents about 20 percent of the department’s deployable staff. The department and Mayor Jenny A. Durkan’s office did not immediately respond to after-hour emails from Fox News,” the report states.

the Distribution of Monoclonal
Antibodies Now? replies
After demonizing nearly every medication with the potential to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finally recommended monoclonal antibodies earlier this summer. Before the official recommendation, some providers used them under an emergency use authorization (EUA) granted by the FDA in November 2020. The FDA just granted an EUA to allow their use for SARS-CoV-2 post-exposure and ongoing prophylaxis. This approval will increase demand. (Snip) Once Florida Governor Ron DeSantis decided to promote outpatient treatment using the antibodies and establish infusion centers, the media reacted because he is a very dangerous Republican.
This Sept. 11, a diminished president will preside over a diminished nation. [Snip] Joe Biden was supposed to be the man of the hour: a calming presence exuding decency, moderation and trust. As a candidate, he sold himself as a transitional president, a fatherly figure in the mold of George H.W. Bush who would restore dignity and prudence to the Oval Office after the mendacity and chaos that came before. It’s why I voted for him, as did so many others who once tipped red. Instead, Biden has become the emblem of the hour: headstrong but shaky, ambitious but inept.
The ever-more-radical left may rule in Washington, Hollywood, the media, academe, and the arts, but when an architecture of ideas is built on a San Andreas Fault of error and defiance of human nature, the inevitable failures register high on the Richter Scale.
Botching a war is one thing, but President Joe Biden turned the ending of a war into an unmitigated disaster. That’s the massively experienced-in-foreign-policy Joe Biden, first elected way back during Richard Nixon’s first term to the U.S. Senate, where he would remain for 36 years,

It does also, however, make sure it is harder than ever for people to cheat at the ballot box.”“Election integrity is now law in Texas,” Abbott said before signing.The bill takes several measures to ensure integrity in casting ballots, instituting a ban on drive-through and round-the-clock voting, and adding an ID requirement
Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is in danger of being excommunicated from the Catholic Church for her continuous support of the murder of unborn children.Over the weekend, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, who just so happens to be the archbishop of Pelosi’s home diocese in San Francisco, California, wrote an essay in the Washington Post, announcing that excommunication is a potential action to take against self-proclaimed Catholic Democrat leaders who support abortion.In his piece, Cordileone urged Catholic politicians to oppose abortion, saying that “[y]ou cannot be a good Catholic and support expanding a government-approved right to kill innocent human beings.”

As I write this, both my wife and I have COVID. My wife came down with COVID symptoms approximately two weeks ago. My symptoms started approximately a week ago. Our diagnoses were confirmed at a local clinic.

Perhaps, at long last, the deadly reign of Anthony Fauci will come to an end. That’s because The Intercept, a hard-left publication, has revealed 900 pages of government documents definitively proving that Fauci used his position to fund gain-of-function research into bat viruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (“WIV”)—and then lied to Congress about it.
Since February 2020, the wizened Fauci has been the face of the government’s response to the pandemic. In the ensuing 20 months, Fauci was frequently wrong, incredibly arrogant, and deeply dishonest. Because he was the anti-Trump, though, we were stuck with him.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said on Tuesday that the city of Tucson‘s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for public employees violates state law and the governor’s executive order. The city must either revoke or amend the ordinance to align with state law or risk losing millions in state funding, the attorney general’s office said in a statement. “Tucson‘s vaccine mandate is illegal, and the city could be held liable for attempting to force employees to take it against their beliefs,” said Mr. Brnovich, a Republican. “COVID-19 vaccinations should be a choice, not a government mandate.” Arizona lawmakers passed a law during this year’s legislative session that prohibits city governments
