Ayman al-Zawahiri is dead, or at least that’s what Old Joe Biden tells us, and he wouldn’t lie to us, would he? Anyway, while he and his handlers are taking a victory lap over taking out the big, scary al-Qaeda honcho, the fact is that Zawahiri was first declared dead in November 2020 and has only surfaced once since then. He was 71 years old and much more a man of the past than of the present. His killing, in other words, is more a matter of PR than evidence of an effective counterterror strategy. And meanwhile, Biden’s handlers are undermining the effectiveness of what little counterterror strategy they have by sending hundreds of millions over to Zawahiri’s friends, the Taliban.
According to a Tuesday report from The Foreign Desk, the U.S. “has pledged an additional $55 million in aid to Afghanistan.” This is just the latest in a more or less non-stop money train since the Taliban took over: “Over the past fiscal year, this totals to over $1 billion to humanitarian, economic, and military assistance aid to Afghanistan.”
Biden’s foreign policy wonks would likely insist that this money was not sent to the Taliban but to other groups that are operating in the country. The Taliban may be in control, says Biden’s State Department, but there is still a massive humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan that we cannot ignore. Unfortunately for that narrative, however, the aid money that is being sent to Afghanistan is ending up in the hands of the Taliban despite all the denials and claims to the contrary. “Now,” says The Foreign Desk, “humanitarian aid to the Afghan people is lining the pockets of the Taliban at the expense of innocent Afghans and American taxpayers alike.”
There is an important reason for this: “The Taliban’s ‘Monitoring and Control Plan of NGOs’ provides them with oversight and control of movements and work of various NGOs, including the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and the World Food Program.” Thus if the U.S. government sends money to any of those organizations, there is nothing that they can do to keep the Taliban from seizing the funds.
The Foreign Desk adds: “The Afghan people are desperately in need of this aid to ensure access to basic food and water, education, and health services. However, this Taliban program requires Afghan citizens and foreign NGOs to submit to the Taliban’s brutal rule in order to ensure they receive the necessary aid to survive. The U.S. cannot ensure that its humanitarian funding is being used as it was intended. More than likely, it’s only bolstering the Taliban’s repressive regime.” So the American taxpayers are funding the Taliban’s consolidation of power in Afghanistan, thanks to Old Joe Biden.
There is more. Read the rest here.

IMO, all too convenient with an election process coming up, wall being built this killing a terrorist, smells fishy.

No, reason they’re toning back the open borders is that they’ve been hemorrhaging Hispanics due to other reasons, be it LatinX, high school grooming of toddlers, sinking the economy for everyone, including Hispanics and so on. So by their calculations – purely political – open borders ain’t winning them Hispanic votes, but it’s costing them votes from other people, which is why they’re now looking at filling up the wall in places
November can’t come soon enough

Does seem convenient, and Joey and his handlers like nothing better. “Aid” money is going to bring us all down.

The treachery joe Joe Biden for funding and supportng the Taliban is absurd as it’s also evil . It’s very evil.
The other thing worth mentioning is that Islamic fired al-Zawahiri was killed off in Kabul the capital city of the Taliban . Therefore the Taliban did give him safe haven on the land that Joe Biden just “gave over” with much high quality US military equipment
That they gave safe haven to al-Zawahiri shows that the Taliban still , insite of all the other things treacherous old Joe gives and does for them , the Taliban still hate America and the American people with the full passion of malice=filled Islamic hate . Likewise this also reveals that the Taliban isn’t sorry ,at all ,that they gave Osama Bin Laden a base in Afghanistan scheme those horrendous jihad mass murder affronts of 9/11.

The Afghanis need to stand up to the Taliban just as the Ukrainians have done so with the Russians. It is their country and their responsibility. They need to make the terrible sacrifices necessary to secure their freedom and liberty. It is time to stop treating these inbred people who follow the teachings of a perverted psychopath as if they are children. “Freedom isn’t free.”

“The Afghanis need to stand up to the Taliban”
I’m not so sure that many of the Afghanis are that different from the Taliban…

The ones who came over here, have not shown that they wanted to get rid of the taliban. they brought all of their baggage of belief with them.
Some people are too ignorant…or evil…to realize what is in their own best interests.

That’s exactly right! A muslim, is a muslim, is a muslim. If they all read the koran, then they all believe their superior to everyone else, and the 100+ verses in that “satan’s bible” that tell them to kill anyone and everyone who is not like them, says it all!
If one of them, DOESN’T read/study the koran, I wonder what they are. Are they still a muslim? A muslim that converts to ANY other religion, is, I guess…what the people in that religion calls themselves…but their not a muslim anymore, as far as I see it…

There is no honor among thieves or terrorists. sometimes, the terrorists work together, and sometimes, they don’t
the hitman usually gets the money, while the one ordering the kill gets his rival out of the way. This is the hitman doing the deed and paying the other guys who will carry on the terror work.
That work is hard…it costs many lives, so they have to get paid a lot in order to ensure that they keep doing it. This billion to the terror dudes there in charge…just insurance, making sure they keep on demanding, and killing and whatever else…oh, yeah, threatening, and raping and kidnapping, cutting off hands and feet and heads.

Stop sending our tax dollars to these muslim/islamic countries. We are only helping them arm themselves against us, not helping their people at all.
