The New Taliban is the Old Taliban. Afghanistan is once again a safe haven for terrorists and yet the AP and the woke, progressives are disappointed in the lack of diversity and “representation” in the Taliban government. The author almost seems surprised that the Taliban did not indicate in holding elections.

I thought the Democrats cared about women’s rights. How do you think women are being treated in Afghanistan? Not a single woman received a post in the “New” government. According to the Taliban education is promised to “ALL COUNTRYMEN”. Hopefully that includes everyone who identifies as a man. Women are not even allowed to protest for equal rights.

Direct Quotes:

The Taliban on Tuesday announced an all-male interim government for Afghanistan stacked with veterans of their hard-line rule from the 1990s and the 20-year battle against the U.S.-led coalition, a move that seems unlikely to win the international support the new leaders desperately need to avoid an economic meltdown.  

Appointed to the key post of interior minister was Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is on the FBI’s most-wanted list with a $5 million bounty on his head and is believed to still be holding at least one American hostage.

Drawn mostly from Afghanistan’s dominant Pashtun ethnic group, the Cabinet’s lack of representation from other ethnic groups also seems certain to hobble its support from abroad.

Since taking over Afghanistan in mid-August after U.S. troops withdrew, the Taliban have shown no indications they will hold elections.

The U.S. State Department in a statement expressed concern that the Cabinet included only Taliban, no women and personalities with a troubling track record, but said the new administration would be judged by its actions.

A policy statement accompanying the Cabinet announcement sought to allay fears of Afghanistan’s neighbors and the rest of the world, but was unlikely to calm the fears of women, who didn’t get a single post.

TThhee ssttatement spoke of protecting the rights of minorities and the underprivileged, at and it promised education “to all countrymen within the framework of Sharia.” Women were not mentioned in the three-page statement.

A long-time Taliban member, he is unlikely to satisfy demands for inclusivity and minority representation.

The new foreign minister will be Amir Khan Muttaqi, another prominent figure from the Taliban’s last time in power. He faces a difficult task, given the Cabinet’s lack of diversity.

On Saturday, Taliban special forces in camouflage fired their weapons into the air to end a protest march in Kabul by women demanding equal rights.

Democrats stuck their heads in the sand a pretended this didn’t happen, now a full on pardon for Hunter? Maybe some shady stuff did happen overseas that the Biden’s made millions off of. Direct Quotes: Devon Archer told the House Oversight Committee on Monday that his former business partner, Hunter Biden, was selling the “illusion” of access to his father, according to a source familiar with the closed-door interview After the interview concluded, a second source told CNN that Archer did affirm to the committee that Hunter Biden was selling the “illusion” of access to his father, but later clarified that the president’s son was actually selling the illusion of access to Washington, DC, and knowledge of how it worked. Rep. Dan Goldman, a Democrat on the panel who sat through the portion of Archer’s interview where he was question...

  https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-putin-treated-cancer-april-us-intelligence-report-says-1710357 This article kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. There are a lot of “seems”, “sensing”, “rumor” and suggesting so it’s tough to put a lot of faith in the idea that Putin is nearing the end of his leadership. The statement quoted in this article by a Ukraine Intelligence official is the most reliable source. Even though this idea is interesting and may bring some comfort to Ukraine. The world and the Biden administration cannot plan on a soon “expiration date” of Putin. We should have learned that lesson already. Also who is to say that the next Russian “President” won’t have similar ambitions?  Compared to the weak, frail and cognitively failing Biden, everything I’ve seen makes Putin look like a rock star. I disagree with the authors about the long tables in Russia. This article states that the long table “became a baseline against which to measure the Russian presi...
