Taliban Making Hay With the Staggering Amount of Military Gear Left in Afghanistan –

 RedState   "When Joe Biden ordered the chaotic, deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, he didn’t just leave behind our dignity, he also left behind billions in weapons and armaments. Although we’ve known that most of that equipment ended up in Taliban hands, new photos and videos are emerging showing just how much we essentially donated to the violent group.

"According to the Khaama Press News Agency, an Afghani news outlet, the militant group has been successful in fixing hundreds of tactical vehicles:

Taliban’s Defense Ministry has confirmed that the group has repaired around 300 military vehicles left by the United States in Afghanistan.

Most of these military vehicles had been intentionally partially damaged by the American forces when they withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021, Bakhtar News Agency reported.

The Taliban’s Ministry of Defense said that their technical team and engineers have also managed to repair hundreds of vehicles including 150 International Kamazes, 125 Humvees, 2 assault tanks, 4 trucks, 10 Porcliff vehicles, and 15 Humvee ambulances.

According to reports, including RedState‘s, at least $7 billion in materiel was left in the country. (Although many earlier claims indicated the figure was as high as $89 billion, most news outlets are now reporting the $7 billion figure. The $89 billion often cited is actually “the total amount spent on the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund since the war began in 2001.”). . .

First we had Antifa, then BLM, and now Trans Vengeance.

The reporting on the Nashville shooting reveals the incoherence of modern gender theory - American Thinker   *Unconfirmed* reports identify the Nashville shooter as “Audrey Hale”, a biological female that identifies as “He/Him” on their LinkedIn

"When newspapers publish stories using the phrase “her testicles,” it’s easy to add laughter to the tears that always accompany reports demonstrating the complete breakdown of reality in modern America. There is no laughter, though, when trying to decipher the biological sex of the school shooter who killed three children and three adults in Nashville, before the police appropriately terminated the killer’s existence.

"Initial stories identified the shooter as a female teenager. Then the reports changed to say that the shooter (whom I will not name) was a 28-year-old female. That was odd because, historically, women are not mass shooters, although there are always exceptions.". . .

Transgenderism remains a mental illness - American Thinker  . . ."A troubled young woman has been blamed for the killing of three adults and three children, and she identified herself as a transgender person, according to online profiles she left behind."  National Public Radio had just recently done a piece on how MUSS and other “LGBTQ” people are buying guns because, the story goes, they believe they’re imperiled by conservatives.

Trans school shooter Audrey Hale's final messages are revealed | Daily Mail Online

 'I'm planning to die today... you'll probably hear about me on the news': Trans school shooter Audrey Hale's final messages to a friend before she shot six people - including three kids in private Christian school  
. . ."During an appearance on CNN on Tuesday morning, she said Hale had been suicidal in the past. 

'Audrey has shared with others that she had been suicidal in the past and I knew to take this serious.'  

"She also revealed that she was on hold for seven minutes before someone answered her call to the non-emergency police line.

" 'I called Nashville's non-emergency line at 10:14am and was on hold for nearly seven minutes before speaking with someone who said that they would send an officer to my home.

" 'An officer did not come to my home until 3:29 pm,' she said. 

"The first 911 call of a shooting came in at 10.13am. 

"By 10.27am, police were at the school and had killed Hale on the second floor of the building. 

"Hale shot her way into the school, firing through one of the locked doors.". . .

. . ."Patton immediately called the cops to report the messages but it was already too late. 

"By the time she called, Audrey had begun shooting children at the small, church school. 

"Patton told News Channel 5 Nashville that another message read: 'One day this will make more sense. I've left behind more than enough evidence behind.

" 'But something bad is about to happen.' ". . .

EVs Are The Yugo Of The 21st Century –

 Issues & Insights

"Way back in the mid-1980s, communist Yugoslavia exported the Yugo, a compact car that sold for around $4,000. It was so poorly made that bumping into a pole at 5 mph could total it.

"Fast forward to today, and a new class of cars has a similar problem. A minor accident can cause a total loss, even if the car’s been driven only a few miles. The only difference is that these cars aren’t cheap imports from some godforsaken socialist state. These are state-of-art electric vehicles that come with an average sticker price of $55,000.

"Why are insurance companies totaling low-mileage EVs that have been in a fender bender? For the same reason you could total a new Yugo when backing out of a parking spot. The cost of repair is exorbitant.

"As Reuters reported recently, “For many electric vehicles, there is no way to repair or assess even slightly damaged battery packs after accidents,” which means the only viable option is to replace the battery, which represents about half the cost of the car.". . .

Trans School Shooter Neutralized in Body-Cam Police Footage

 WATCH: Trans School Shooter Neutralized in Body-Cam Police Footage (townhall.com)  "The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department has released the body-worn camera footage of the heroic officers who took down 28-year-old transgender shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a former Covenant School student who went by the trans name "Aiden."

"In the six-minute video posted to YouTube, two points-of-view are compiled, showing the perspectives of Officer Rex Engelbert, a four-year MNPD veteran, and Officer Michael Collazo, a nine-year MNPD veteran, the officers credited with fatally shooting Hale:". . .

"As RedState reported, a militant transgender shooter with a manifesto murdered multiple people at a Christian school in Nashville on Monday. The tragedy that rocked the community was revealed to be politically motivated in short order with prior calls for a “Trans Day of Vengeance” permeating the situation. That Tennessee had recently passed a law banning child mutilation under the guise of “gender-affirming care,” something the left described as a genocide, clearly played a role in the shooter’s psyche.". . .

Turley: Alvin Bragg Has Handed Trump 'Proof Positive' of His Long Narrative — 'This Is a Political Prosecution'

 Breitbart

"On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s aggressive push to prosecute former President Donald Trump.

"According to Turley, Bragg’s attempt will prove Trump’s narrative that it is a “political prosecution.”

“ 'Well, they have discretion, but they don’t have discretion to create their own laws,” he said. “ 'And what is being done is something that most of us consider really beyond the pale, that is Bragg is taking a New York misdemeanor, which, by the way, has expired, only a two-year statute of limitations, and he’s potentially bootstrapping that into a felony. But he intends, according to reports, to prove a federal crime that the Department of Justice itself declined to prosecute. Now that effort, he’s losing already the court of public opinion. A poll came out showing roughly 60 percent of people viewed this as politically motivated. But he’s playing to a jury pool in New York.”

“ 'And the likelihood of finding a Trump supporter in the New York jury pool is about the same as finding a triceratops,” Turley added. “I mean, it’s not that likely. But he also has judges in New York who I think are going to look askance at this and say, wait, you’re a state prosecutor, and you’re going to prove a federal crime? I think he’s got a rough road ahead. But what he has done is handed Trump proof positive of his long narrative. This is a political prosecution.' ”

Stanford Law Diversity Dean Placed On Leave, Student Disrupters Will Be Re-Educated Not Disciplined

 Legal Insurrection

"Law School Dean Jenny Martinez: “the hate mail and appalling invective that have been directed at some of our students and law school administrators in the wake of March 9 are of great concern to me.' ”

The latest development in the Stanford Law School shout-down of 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan has focues on the antics of Stanford Law School Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Tirien Steinbach. I concluded that The Stanford Law School Culture, Not The Diversity Dean, Is The Problem (but I repeat myself).

Then things got worse when it was revealed Stanford Law Protester Screamed At Conservative Judge: “We hope your daughters get raped!”

The latest news is that the Diversity Dean is on leave, though the exact circumstances and terms are not known. That was revealed in a letter sent to the Stanford Law Community by Dean Jenny Martinez. You can read the full letter here. The main focus of the letter is to portray Stanford Law as the victim because of the negative reaction from the public:

She then addressed the claim by some students that heckling and disruption was their own free speech:

. . .Some of the protestors at last week’s event stayed within the bounds of permissible, non-disruptive counter-speech, while others crossed the line in sustained heckling that disrupted the event. Some students contend that the judge invited the heckling with offensive comments or engagement with protestors. These arguments misunderstand the nature of the disruption policy. The policy would not be meaningful to protect the carrying out of public events and the right of attendees to hear what is said if it applied only when a speaker said things protesters in an audience found agreeable. Nor does the fact that the speaker departs from their planned remarks and engages with the hecklers justify further heckling that disrupts the event. The Stanford disruption policy prohibits not just conduct that literally drowns out the speaker, but also that which “disrupt[s] the effective carrying out” of the event (emphasis added).

Joe Biden: the target on America's back

"A warrior works all the time because when he is not working, someone else is, and when those two meet on a battlefield, only one will walk away. That is not the mindset of today's woke armed services.  Whining, psychobabble, coddling, and grievance-conditioning do not create a superior fighting force.  "Safe spaces," fear of "triggering" words, and fixation on personal pronouns make minds weak."   J.B.

The Biden disgrace that unleashed the ongoing torrent of foreign policy disasters - American Thinker   . . ."Our lying media will cover up this disaster as long as it can: until it becomes impossible. Bad things are in prospect, as our enemies know that we have become, in the prophetic words of Richard Nixon, “A pitiful, helpless giant.”

“If when the chips are down, the world’s most powerful nation, the United States of America, acts like a pitiful, helpless giant, the forces of totalitarianism and anarchy will threaten free nations and free institutions throughout the world.”

Warriors Don't Want to Fight for a Woke, Anti-American Military - American Thinker  "The House Armed Services Subcommittee for Military Personnel held a hearing last week to discuss the growing national security crisis arising from the military's cratering recruitment numbers.   A potpourri of Pentagon nincompoops all universally lauded the Defense Department's ideological obsession with "lived experiences" and "diversity for diversity's sake." While championing the Marxist military's decision to waste over six million man-hours of training on the dangers of "extremism" and "white privilege" and the seminal importance of "diversity, equity, and inclusion," not one Pentagon official could muster a real answer as to why recruiting numbers are so disastrous.

"The touchy-feely, group hug–loving mandarins proved experts in Critical Race Theory but poor problem-solvers when tasked with the actual duties of their jobs — building and maintaining lethal military forces filled with top-notch warriors who will fight to win.". . . 

Lyin' Biden does it again - American Thinker  "Just as with his breathing, fibbing, fudging facts, telling tall tales, or outright lying has become so natural to President Joseph R.

Trump Rally Goes Silent After He Attempts to Mock DeSantis

                                              

 Trump Rally Goes Silent After He Attempts to Mock DeSantis (resistthemainstream.com)  . . .“ 'So, he came, and he really wanted [my endorsement]. I said, ‘You can’t win, can you? How do you – can [you] win?'” Trump said, recalling the alleged conversation with DeSantis. “‘Sir, if you endorse me, I’ll win. Please, please, sir, endorse me,'” Trump continued as he acted out a crying, begging voice.

"While similar jabs against political opponents have been a hit with Trump’s crowds during past rallies, those in attendance were noticeably more silent as Trump took aim at DeSantis. Though some in the crowd could be heard laughing or clapping as Trump continued to be critical of DeSantis, the reaction of the crowd was much more silent than when Trump went after other targets, such as the mainstream media.

"DeSantis, who has yet to declare a 2024 White House bid, is largely regarded as Trump’s biggest rival in the Republican primary field. Having just won reelection in Florida in a landslide, many analysts have noted the governor’s growing national profile and popularity in the key swing state as a reason DeSantis could be a legitimate challenger to Trump.". . .
