It was short, and it wasn’t sweet. a man wearing a suit and tie© Provided by Washington Examiner The Democratic Party’s quest to defund police forces, an act in which it kowtowed to its hard-left-wing base, has come to a very bitter end. The resulting surge in violent crime has produced a massive public backlash that threatens the careers of elected Democrats throughout the nation. Naturally, the endangered species is trying to distance itself swiftly from the wreckage that “defund the police” has left behind. The mayors of Portland and Seattle, who respectively slashed police funding by $15 million and $7.5 million last year, are now moving to restore those ...
Enough is Enough: Antifa Attacks Reporter in Portland

This past Sunday, while covering a protest in Portland, Oregon for our video partner News2Share, a reporter named Maranie Staab was attacked by members of an Antifa-affiliated group. After complaining about a report she’d done in Colombia in conjunction with TK News, they maced her, shot paint at her, and threw her to the ground. The backdrop for this scene was explained to TK readers this past weekend in our latest episode of “Activism, Uncensored” called “The Great American Fistfight.” After a series of violent street clashes between left and right activists in Los Angeles, right-wing protesters planned a “United We Win” rally in Portland, Oregon for ...
The Afghanistan Debacle Is Exposing President Biden’s Descent Into Unreality

Americans are stranded in Afghanistan. That’s a fact. You don’t have to have special military clearance to know it, or access to classified information, or be in contact with Americans in Kabul or elsewhere in Afghanistan. All you have to do is follow the news. For days now, reports coming out of Afghanistan have chronicled the dire situation of Americans unable to get to the airport in Kabul, unable to get past Taliban checkpoints outside the airport, and unable to get through the airport gates because of the desperate and sometimes deadly mobs gathered there. Members of Congress are even sharing information on social media about Americans trapped in Kabul, some of them ...
The Only Way Back To Deterrence Is Firing Biden’s Entire National Security Team

The Taliban’s seizure of Afghanistan — emboldened by President Joe Biden’s senseless decision to rush U.S troops out of the country without a plan — blindsided the Afghan government, the Afghan military, and America’s allies. This reckless decision has led to bipartisan criticism in the United States and from our global allies, and ridicule by America’s adversaries. Biden’s attempts to blame everyone but himself for this fiasco, his refusal to take press questions for nearly a week (except from sycophantic George Stephanopoulos), and his decision to hide at Camp David while these events unfolded have only intensified criticism. As commander-in-chief, ...
Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal shows a disengaged, befuddled president
Post Date: 2021-08-22 14:25:12 by tankumo

Shortly after President Biden on Friday claimed that Americans had safe passage to the Kabul airport, and the Taliban weren’t harassing anyone, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told members of Congress that some Americans trying to escape had been beaten by the Taliban. The next day, the US Embassy in Kabul said it wasn’t safe to go to the airport. Which leaves two possibilities: Biden lied. Biden doesn’t know. It’s likely the latter. It’s not that Biden doesn’t lie, it’s that all of his statements and actions of the past week show a disengaged, befuddled president who doesn’t care about Americans and their allies in Afghanistan. He has waved away ...
When black Americans choose where to live, they choose GOP-run Texas, Florida, and Georgia

If you consult the likes of Paul Krugman or MSNBC, you'll hear that Texas, Florida, and Georgia are failed states, run into the ground by right-wing ideologues. Krugman points to Texas as an “indicator of the moral and intellectual collapse of American conservatism.” Democratic former congressman Beto O’Rourke has produced headlines such as this: "Beto O'Rourke: 'We are nearing a failed state in Texas' due to Republican leaders." And if you like Georgia, Texas, or Florida, it’s probably because you’re a white racist who likes white supremacist policies, the narrative goes. It might be jarring, then, for these New York-based commentators ...
Biden’s incompetence brought us chaos

ANALYSIS/OPINION: Instead of peace through strength, Joe Biden has chaos through incompetence. What is happening in Afghanistan is an absolute disaster. Worst of all, it could have been avoided—if not for the arrogance and ignorance of key members of the Biden administration. In an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, President Joe Biden said, “The idea that somehow, there’s a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing—-I don’t know how that happens.” Forgive me, but that is bulls—-. First, if Mr. Biden knew there would be this kind of chaos, why did he schedule a vacation for this time? They would have had a statement and a speech ...

The fall of Afghanistan is a disaster for the Biden presidency, but it is far from the only one. The rise of inflation and the massive surge of illegal immigrants are sharp blows, too. In fact, Joe Biden's young presidency already faces an inflection point, as the simultaneous failure of so many major policies, foreign and domestic, suggest to many voters that the administration is incompetent. Voters are also beginning to reach a second, troubling conclusion: Biden is pursuing a very different policy agenda from the one he ran on. They thought they were electing a center-left candidate who would restore domestic calm and constitutional probity after the tumult of the Trump years. What ...
U.S. Hemorrhaging Money From Entitlement Fraud & Waste

Under the Biden administration, the United States is on the path toward becoming a welfare state fully entrenched in waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. President Biden plans to expand welfare to almost half of the country’s working adults through the deceptively named American Families Plan. If passed, it will allow the federal government to meddle in Americans’ everyday lives from birth to death. Meanwhile, every year, entitlement programs are spending tens of billions of taxpayer dollars improperly—either through inaccuracies, incompetence, or fraud. Government is already too big with too much waste. Current entitlement programs are rife with abuse. Their size and ...
Obama Freed The Taliban Leader Who Engineered Kabul Takeover

Former President Barack Obama didn’t listen to Pentagon officials when they told him Taliban mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa was too dangerous to release. Instead, he freed the group that came to be known as the ‘Gitmo five’ — Khairkhwa alongside four of his buddies — from the Guantanamo Bay prison in 2014 in exchange for a U.S. soldier who deserted his post. Obama all but guaranteed that Khairkhwa and the four other men would be sent to Qatar, where their movements would be restricted and where they could do no harm. As it turns out, the Taliban isn’t as trustworthy as the former president thought. Now, Khairkhwa has resurfaced as one of the masterminds behind ...

Border Patrol agents in a California mountain range were fired upon from Mexico while taking a group of migrants found illegally entering the country into custody last week – another instance of violence against U.S. immigration officers at the border, yet no arrests have been made. At approximately 9 p.m. on Aug. 9, Border Patrol agents "were the target of multiple shots" near Otay Mountain, which contains the highest summit of the San Ysidro Mountains in San Diego County, according to a statement released Saturday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The barrage of bullets was unleashed on agents arresting a group of undocumented immigrants, about two miles east of the ...
Texas Supreme Court blocks mask mandates in Dallas, Bexar counties

The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily restricted Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins’ ability to enforce a mask mandate in schools and businesses, allowing Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order banning local leaders from implementing such mandates to stand. The entirely Republican Texas Supreme Court granted a temporary stay Sunday, at the request of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. But hearings on the matter will continue in lower courts as scheduled, though the Supreme Court could still issue a ruling. Bexar County, where the county seat is San Antonio, has a hearing Monday, and Dallas County has a hearing Aug. 24. Late Sunday, Dallas ISD ...

“What’s coming next is that we are going to have to continue to get people vaccinated so that right now, even in states in which you have a good relative proportion of people vaccinated, you have to get the overwhelming proportion of people vaccinated. But you also have to do mitigation. And that gets to the controversial issue of mask-wearing and the mandating of things mandating of vaccines, for example, for teachers and people in the personnel in the school, but also in situations as uncomfortable as we know and controversial as we know it is with regard to masks wearing, particularly in the situation in schools, we’ve just got to realize that we’re dealing with a ...

Gov. Groper is almost gone and Mayor Putz is moving toward the exit. Who says there’s no good news? Andrew Cuomo’s resignation and the term-limited end of Mayor de Blasio give New York state and city much-needed chances for fresh starts. While the slate isn’t wiped clean, the unusual near- simultaneous changes at the top create an opening to clean up the mess the two men helped create and reverse the sharp decline of recent years. Put it this way: Kathy Hochul in Albany and, presumably, Eric Adams in City Hall can’t screw up more than Cuomo and de Blasio. Over the last eight years, their performance confirmed them as the worst team of governor and mayor in modern ...

(We should love everyone regardless of skin color, God does). A friend of mine told me a true apocryphal story. He is an old- fashioned “liberal” and a strong advocate of public education. The Covid-19 lockdowns left him additional time to inconspicuously sit in on his sixth-grade son’s online classes. One afternoon, he observed an assignment in an English class in which all the white students were required to place their arms beside a brown paper bag. The teacher, a white woman, asked if they noticed a difference in color between their skin and the brown paper bag. The white students verbally assented. The teacher then asked if the color of the bag looked close to the ...

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney chose to raise awareness recently about the most obvious thing in Washington: The Democrats’ control of the U.S. House of Representatives is in serious jeopardy. Politico’s story “House Dem campaign chief warns the majority at risk without message reboot” amplified Mr. Maloney’s cry for help but made it clear that Democrats are in serious denial about the dire situation they’ve created for themselves. Not only is history working against them - a new President’s party almost always loses seats in Congress in their first midterm election - but Democrats have the smallest majority ...
Chris Cuomo Should Resign

Color me shocked that Gov. Andrew Cuomo knuckled under to demands he resign after a devastating report detailing his sexual harassment of 11 women. But it was not quite as shocking as reading a Washington Post report that CNN's top star Chris Cuomo was still moonlighting (or daylighting) as one of his top political advisers. Chris Cuomo should follow his big brother's example and resign. This CNN situation should be seen as untenable. Chris made a promise not to do this again. Back in May, he said, point blank, "It will not happen again. ... It was a mistake because I put my colleagues here, who I believe are the best in the business, in a bad spot." He claimed, "I ...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday that he would step down amid an ongoing sexual harassment scandal, raising further questions about what CNN will do with his beleaguered little brother, star anchor Chris Cuomo. CNN’s Cuomo was away from the network this week and wasn’t around for his big brother’s political downfall. But he’s caught up in the scandal himself, as the New York state attorney general concluded that CNN’s primetime host tried to help the outgoing governor fight sexual harassment allegations along the way. A former CNN employee who worked closely with Chris Cuomo at times thinks the "Cuomo Prime Time" host will be allowed to ...

Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York has come under fire following an investigation into his conduct by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which found 11 counts of sexual harassment. Following the release of this report, prominent democratic politicians from the speaker of the New York State Assembly all the way up to President Joe Biden have called for his resignation. Yet while people across the country are surprised, this is not the first time the governor has shown us who he really is. The New York government has long been corrupt. And while Cuomo has vowed to rid Albany of the moral and political rot that has plagued New York for so long, he has been contributing to it. We know that ...

When midterm elections loom just around the corner, most presidents push populist policies to lure Independent votes as a means of retaining their party’s majority in Congress. President Biden, however, seems to be doing everything to push middle-ground voters away. It’s almost hard to believe that Biden wants his party to retain control of Congress at all, given his performance so far. While the administration celebrates saving families 16 cents on Independence Day barbecues, American families face the harsh realities of misguided government priorities. Countless small businesses have shuttered their doors, millions of American workers have been paid to stay home instead of ...
