Biden Supporters Chase Sen. Kirsten Sinema Into Bathroom Stall, Threaten Her For Alleged Disloyalty To The Regime

Biden supporters scream “We need a Build Back Better plan right now!” at Sinema while she uses the public bathroom.

Video footage from Arizona shows angry left-wing insurrectionist harassing Sen. Kirsten Sinema for not being sufficiently devoted to President Joe Biden and open borders policies, going so far as to chase her into a bathroom stall while obsessively filming her with camera phones.

“Right now is a real moment that our people need in order to talk about what’s really happening,” one male demands in the footage. “We need a Build Back Better plan right now.” As Sinema heads into the women’s bathroom, female members of the mob follow her inside, screaming “We need solutions and the Build Back Better plan has the solutions that we need.”

The activists stand directly outside of Sinema’s bathroom stall in the footage, continuing to hold their phone cameras outstretched. “We knocked on doors for you to get you elected, and just how we got you elected, we can get you out of office if you don’t support what you promised us.”

“We need the Build Back Better plan right now,” another individual demands as Sinema can be heard flushing the toilet. The activists continue to scream and berate Sinema for the duration of the video, which lasts nearly two minutes.

“The failure of the U.S. House to hold a vote on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is inexcusable, and deeply disappointing for communities across our country,” Sinema had said in a statement on Saturday. “Denying Americans millions of good-paying jobs, safer roads, cleaner water, more reliable electricity, and better broadband only hurts everyday families.”

North Carolina County Wants Teachers Fired, Disciplined If They Undermine Constitution, Bash Founders, Say America’s Racist

A North Carolina county is insisting that its local school board institute a policy that would discipline or fire teachers if they assert that the American Founders were not heroes, if they make statements undermining the Constitution, or if they assert that racism is endemic in America.

The Johnston County Board of Commissioners is withholding $7.9 million until the policy is accepted by the school board, The News & Observer reports, adding, “North Carolina schools have denied teaching Critical Race Theory. Instead, they’ve said they’re promoting equity and inclusion practices designed to help educate an increasingly diverse student enrollment. … Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson released a report in August that included complaints from parents across the state accusing teachers of trying to indoctrinate students.”

The revised Code of Ethics policy, proposed by the Johnston County Board of Commissioners, states:

No student or staff member shall be subjected to the notion that racism is a permanent component of American life. … All people deserve full credit and recognition for their struggles and accomplishments throughout United States history. The United States foundational documents shall not be undermined. No employee of Johnston County Schools will make any attempt to discredit the efforts made by all people using foundational documents for reform. 

No fictional accounts or narratives shall be used to invalidate actual objective historical events. All people who contributed to American Society will be recognized and presented as reformists, innovators and heroes to our culture. Failure to comply with this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

Dale Lands, the founder of Citizen Advocates for Accountable Government, stated:

Citizen Advocates for Accountable Government is pleased that the Johnston County Board of Education worked together to pass a policy to prohibit the implementing of divisive principles of Critical Race Theory in the classroom, the approach used stands as an example of how diverse voices can work together for the betterment of the Students in our Public Schools. While it doesn’t incorporate all of the problems of Critical Theory, it is an adequate start and a direct contrast to the National School Boards Association (NSBA) letter to President Biden yesterday seeking to criminalize concerned parents.”

Greensboro.com reported:

In August, a task force created by Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of Greensboro to monitor classrooms for critical race theory instruction, and to solicit complaints from parents, teachers and students, presented a report to the Senate Education Committee that included more than 500 submissions. … AP reported Robinson’s task force report did highlight instances of educators accused of giving preferential treatment to pupils who agree with their racial views and teachers offering questionable class assignments, including a book called “George” about a transgender child coming to terms with gender identity and a handout that mentions former President Donald Trump in a sentence describing the term “xenophobia.”

Johnston County school district has over 37,000 students.     

How to Restore Trust in Our Elections

This article addresses the issue of how state legislators can fulfill their constitutional duty to better ensure fair and honest elections at polling places.  While the discussion uses Georgia as an example, the recommendations apply to other states where there has been a substantial loss of public trust in the election process.

What is considered adequate funding by state legislators to better ensure fair and honest elections at polling stations?  In other words, how much funding is adequate to regain and maintain the trust of millions of citizens in the election process?

An analysis of voter attitudes conducted by the Democracy Fund after the November 2020 national election found that about six in ten Americans (59 percent) believe that permanent harm has been done to the United States as a result of real or perceived corruption and dishonesty in the election process.  To regain the public’s trust, many people advocate reverting to what the National Election Defense Coalition (NEDC) calls the voting “gold standard,” where voters cast hand-marked paper ballots tabulated by hand counts of candidate selections on each ballot.

The great majority of Americans vote in national and state elections at over 200,000 prescribed polling places throughout the fifty states.  Hence, it is at these polling places where state legislators need to prioritize measures to better enable and ensure fair and honest elections.  

Georgia election officials indicate that a total implementation of the NEDC’s voting “gold standard” is not feasible or realistic. Reasons given for this belief are 1) hand counts take far too much time to complete and 2) many additional people and facilities are required at significantly higher costs to taxpayers.

Thus, the next best available option is to use hand-marked paper ballots tabulated via low-cost, non-communicating optimal mark recognition (OMR) scanners.  Tabulation outputs or reports from scanners would only be in paper “hard copy” formats that could be hand-carried, faxed, or called in to a centralized location for further statewide tabulation. 

To date, there is no commercially available scanner capable of operating OMR software using the scanner’s operating system.  Thus, a laptop or other computing device is needed in conjunction with a scanner.  (An option is to fund the development of customized OMR software that will operate directly on a scanner’s operating system, thus obviating the need for a laptop, etc.) 

Needless to say, all equipment and software used in this configuration would have to be robustly tested to ensure that no remote access is possible to ballots or ballot records via internet, wifi, local area network, or other remote intervention.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GEORGIA’S POLLING STATIONS.

In an effort to find an example of an equipment and software configuration that satisfies the above requirements, the author contacted Gravic, Inc., a leading provider of OMR software used in conjunction with a wide variety of optical scanners.  A suggested configuration along with budgetary cost estimates (without quantity discounts, etc.) for Georgia are as follows:

1) EQUIPMENT.

a) Dell ruggedized laptop, model 5420, customized by Dell to disable all network interface possibilities, including flash drives, etc.  Securing the laptop against tampering and theft in a small metal box is a small additional cost option.  Cost: $ 1,500 ea; total cost for Georgia is $6,900,000 (2,300 polling places x 2 scanner stations each x $1,500)

b) Fujitsu optical scanner, model 7160, customized to disable all network interface possibilities including flash drives, etc.  Cost: $ 1,200 ea; total cost for Georgia is $5,520,000 (using same calculation for laptop total cost); use of an American-made scanner may be possible.

2) SOFTWARE.

Customized version of Gravic’s OMR software with a special interface for Georgia elections.  Cost: $1,300 per license, or total cost of $ 5,980,000 for 4,600 licenses.

3) BALLOTS.

The Georgia secretary of state’s office projects that if statewide hand-marked ballots are required, approximately 300 million printed ballots will be required over a ten-year period at a cost of approximately 55 cents per ballot.  Cost: Total ten-year ballot printing costs are approximately $165 million.  On a yearly basis, a budget allocation for ballot printing costs is estimated to be $ 16.5 million.  (It is recommended that a unique code be printed on each ballot for better accountability and security.)

4) TRAINING.  

Gravic, Inc. estimates statewide training costs for polling officials to be between $300,000 and $400,000 depending on the number of classes, travel expenses, etc.

TOTAL ANNUAL BUDGETARY COSTS FOR EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, PRINTED BALLOTS, AND TRAINING IS APPROXIMATELY $ 35,300,000.   

4) FUNDING.

Georgia’s state government had state revenues (versus federal and other revenues) of approximately $26 billion in the year 2021.  If, for example, $40 million per year is allocated or budgeted for the recommended equipment, software, ballots, and training described above, this funding amounts to less than one-fifth of one percent (0.0015) of total state revenues — truly a relatively small cost to regain and maintain much of the public’s trust in elections!

Undoubtedly, greater in-depth analysis is needed of the above method of ballot casting and tabulation.  Hopefully, the information in this article will stimulate such analysis and action by the nation’s state legislators.  Without fair and honest elections in America, continual one-party rule will most likely occur with all its many terrible consequences.  Freedom-loving Americans must never let this happen! 

Joe Biden Nominates a Communist to Regulate US Banks

Joe Biden has had quite the run of insane nominees since taking office, from David Chipman, the rabid anti-gun conspiracy theorist who wasn’t confirmed, to Tracey Stone-Manning, the former eco-terrorist who was. But the president’s latest choice may take the cake.

Saule Omarova, a professor from Cornell Law, has been put forward to be the Treasury Department’s Comptroller of Currency, which is essentially a position that regulates US banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. Her being an academic that’s never run a business or actually had to operate within the normal economy would be disqualifying enough. But it’s even worse than that.

Omaraova is a Soviet-raised communist. This, per The New York Post.

President Biden’s controversial pick to be the Treasury Department’s comptroller of the currency is a USSR-born and educated professor who has praised the former Soviet Union’s lack of a gender pay gap while recently advocating for ending banking “as we know it” by moving Americans’ finances from private banks to the Federal Reserve…

…In 2019, she posted to Twitter in support of the “old USSR” where there was “no gender pay gap.” She attempted to do damage control after being criticized for it, but failed to fully condemn the Soviet Union.

“I never claimed women and men were treated absolutely equally in every facet of Soviet life. But people’s salaries were set (by the state) in a gender-blind manner. And all women got very generous maternity benefits. Both things are still a pipe dream in our society!” she wrote.

To be fair, praising the USSR may be disgusting, ignorant, and ahistorical, but that doesn’t necessarily make Omarova a communist. Rather, what makes her communist is that she’s written in support of federalizing the banking system, making the government the sole lender in the country. That would hand America’s most all-encompassing industry, which already has enormous control over the nation’s economy (and by virtue, its people), to the tender mercies of the federal executive branch — as if enough power wasn’t already gathered there. If that’s not communism, what is?

How would you like for the government to own your house? Your car? Literally, everything you ever buy on credit? These kinds of setups are always about control. No one should ever hand the government that kind of leverage over their lives. It’s bad enough the big banks have so much power, but at least they are limited in what they can do as private entities. The federal government has repeatedly shown it has no limits. Imagine a future where the president could force you to do something via executive order or cancel your mortgage. It’s insane to even think about giving a centralized government that much power.

Of course, Omarova’s praising of the Soviet Union, including the regulation of wages by the state (again, more communism), also speaks to her sympathies. Her political and financial ideology is communist, but she also seems to have no qualms about the human rights abuses of her home country, forgoing to mention them as she pretends Marx had it right. Anyone that would laud the USSR, especially over something like the “gender pay gap,” is not only foolish but should probably be given a mental health check.

This woman has to be stopped, and I’m hoping this is another instance where Joe Manchin steps in and says it’s not going to happen. Truly, as frustrating as that guy can be at times, he’s all that’s standing in the way of the country as we know it and a far-left, communist utopia.

‘God’s Not Dead’ series seeks new life with timely tale of homeschoolers standing up to government

The latest installment in the Christian film series revives the feisty spirit of the original, which grossed a stunning $60 million.

Michael Scott, the founding partner of Pure Flix and Pinnacle Peak Pictures, admits the “God’s Not Dead” franchise suffered a self-inflicted wound via the second sequel.

“God’s Not Dead: A Light in the Darkness” (2018) tried to reach across the secular aisle, and the box office tally subsequently crashed.

The pro-Christian series began with a stunning $60 million box office haul in 2014 only to see those numbers plummet to $5.7 million for part three.

That film asked, “Is there a way we can come together?” says Scott. “In retrospect, I don’t think that message resonated as well.”

That won’t be a problem with the latest “God’s Not Dead” installment. Subtitled “We the People,” the film returns the franchise to its blunt posture. A group of parents, including a dad played by Antonio Sabato, Jr., fight the U.S. government to maintain their faith-based homeschooling program.

The narrative feels ripped from recent headlines, and “We the People” isn’t afraid to evoke a conservative icon in the process. The sequel opens with an ominous quote from President Ronald Reagan warning audiences, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” 

Next, we meet parents forced to shut down their Christian-based homeschooling network or face severe fines levied by a no-nonsense judge (Fox News mainstay Jeanine Pirro).

“There is a time to come together, and there is a time to fight … it’s time not to lay down,” Scott says of the current cultural landscape. “How can we speak to this in an intelligent manner, to stoke the conversation?”

It’s not lost on Scott that a gaming CEO, Tripwire Interactive’s John Gibson, just got squeezed out of his job for supporting Texas’ pro-life legislation on Twitter. 

Or that Christian cake-baker Jack Phillips is enduring even more legal battles after stating he wouldn’t make a gay wedding cake, a battle that began nearly a decade ago.

It helped that Scott’s creative team had a script already written that fit the tenor of the times. The screenwriters behind the first two installments, Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon, had previously drafted a sequel tied to homeschooling.

“We weren’t sure at the time it was timely, so we held it,” says Scott, a producer on the new film. A few years later, homeschooling exploded nationwide as parents rebelled against what they viewed as draconian COVID-19 rules and a sudden push to inculcate Critical Race Theory in the classroom.

A U.S. Census Survey released earlier this year said homeschooling doubled during the pandemic.

“We went back and read [the Konzelman/Solomon script] … 80 percent of this was exactly going on now,” says Scott, who had screenwriter Tommy Blaze join the duo to pen the final version.

No matter where one stands on homeschooling, it’s clear the “We the People” script caught the zeitgeist in a way many films can’t match — and the sequel doubled down on that spirit once cameras started rolling. Scott says the production tweaked the material mid-shoot to enhance the story’s timeliness. The editing process allowed for more subtle shadings to match evolving headlines.

It remains to be seen if a return to franchise form can revive the series’ fortunes, especially since the film will be released via Fathom Events during a three-day theatrical window, Oct. 4-6.

Critics generally loathe the “God’s Not Dead” films, scoffing at their perceived “persecution complex” regarding Christianity and preaching-to-the-choir tone. That won’t change with the fourth installment, which brings a more fire and brimstone approach to the parents vs. U.S. Government angle, the latter personified by veteran actor William Forsythe (“Raising Arizona”).

Scott gently disagrees with franchise critics, saying the series has always reflected reality. Attacks on Christians have “been ongoing and ramping up over the last 20 years,” he says.

“God’s Not Dead: We the People” features two stars who say they’ve been “cancelled” by Hollywood — Sabato and Isaiah Washington. 

Sabato, an openly conservative star, contends mainstream studios no longer consider him for roles due to his politics. He told Variety in 2020 that his pro-Trump rhetoric cost him several gigs, forcing him to temporarily leave show business.

Washington lost his job on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” after he allegedly used a homophobic slur against a costar, who wasn’t present at the time of the argument. The actor apologized, adding he didn’t aim the word in question against a gay costar. 

The actor cut a PSA for LGBTQ media watchdog group GLAAD following the dustup, but he still got cut from the popular show.

Both actors have expressed relatively positive views about former President Donald Trump.

Scott praised both actors for being the right fit for the film, but he adds their connection to the material heightened their performances. Both felt “passionately” about the movie’s themes, Scott says.

Scott, a pioneer in the still-young faith-based storytelling space, says there’s room for many Christian perspectives in the marketplace.

Stories that appeal directly to the devout “are needed, and they tell a compelling narrative,” he says, adding that films with a lighter touch that pack an inspirational, faith-friendly message matter as well.

“There’s room for both,” he says. “We need to inspire people. We the people have a voice, in our government, in how we raise our kids. That’s what ‘God’s Not Dead’ is all about. It’s time to stand up.”

Kyrsten Sinema skewers House Democrats for infrastructure failure

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema blasted fellow Democrats for not passing a bipartisan infrastructure proposal Saturday afternoon after the House of Representatives failed to vote on the act.

A key obstacle to those attempting to pass a massive spending package, Sinema said the House’s failure to vote on the bill was “inexcusable and deeply disappointing for communities across our country.” The delay, aimed at mollifying progressives who refuse to back the proposal without reaching an agreement on a companion bill that would provide trillions of dollars for social services, cost the United States “millions of good paying jobs,” the Arizona Democrat said.

“My vote belongs to Arizona, and I do not trade my vote for political favors — I vote based only on what is best for my state and the country,” she tweeted. “I have never, and would never, agree to any bargain that would hold one piece of legislation hostage to another.”

Sinema slammed members of her own party for their “ineffective stunt to gain leverage over a separate proposal,” saying she has “never, and would never, agree to any bargain that would hold one piece of legislation hostage to another.”

“Good-faith negotiations, however, require trust. Over the course of this year, Democratic leaders have made conflicting promises that could not all be kept — and have, at times, pretended that differences of opinion within our party did not exist, even when those disagreements were repeatedly made clear directly and publicly. Canceling the infrastructure vote further erodes that trust,” she said. “More importantly, it betrays the trust the American people have placed in their elected leaders and denies our country crucial investments to expand economic opportunities.”

After a week of arguments, Democratic leaders delayed the vote on the infrastructure bill due to progressives’ refusal to support the measure without reaching an agreement on a separate social and climate change bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delayed the vote, originally scheduled for Thursday night, when it became clear the party did not have the support required for passage.

President Joe Biden remains determined to get both bills passed, the White House said Saturday, despite reports that the president’s Friday visit to Capitol Hill ended without budging target lawmakers.

Pelosi ordered a deadline of Oct. 31 to pass the infrastructure bill in a letter Saturday, but she urged the House to pass it even sooner “to get the jobs out there.”

Doctor Rand Paul Absolutely TORCHES HHS Secretary Becerra on Natural Immunity

Senator Rand Paul’s positions on COVID-19, the virus’s origins, and pandemic management are generally spot-on. Video of him grilling Dr. Anthony Fauci always goes viral. In hearings last week, it was Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra’s turn in the hot seat, and Paul did not hold back.

Paul opened his questioning during a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing by asking if Becerra was aware of a recent population-level study in Israel. Paul noted that the study included the health records of over 2 million Israelis. It demonstrated that vaccinated people were seven times more likely to catch COVID-19 than recovered patients. Becerra said he was not familiar with the study.

The research has made national news and even got discussed on CNN, where Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked Dr. Fauci about the study and how he would justify vaccinating recovered Americans. Fauci famously said, “I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that. That’s something that we’re going to have to discuss regarding the durability of the response.” The second sentence is absurd since Fauci is pushing boosters after six months for vaccinated Americans. The Israeli study looked at all recovered patients over a period of 18 months.

Becerra’s ignorance of these findings is a concern since three of his agencies direct nearly all of the pandemic response. From a policy-making perspective, over 100 million Americans with strong, durable natural immunity seem kind of important. Especially if you sit on the president’s cabinet and advise him. Paul called him out hard.

“Well, you think you might wanna be if you’re going to travel the country insulting the millions of Americans, including NBA star Jonathan Isaac, who have had COVID, recovered, look at a study with 2.5 million people and say, ‘Well it looks like my immunity is as good as a vaccine or not.’” Paul continued, “And in a free country, maybe you ought to be able to make that decision. Instead, you’ve chosen to travel the country calling people like Jonathan Isaac and others, myself included flat-earthers.”

Paul asked Becerra if he was a doctor. Paul, of course, is a licensed physician who often does charity eye surgery during congressional breaks. Becerra offered his 30 years of work on health policy, but Paul kept going.

“You presume somehow to tell over 100 million Americans who have survived COVID that we have no right to determine our own medical care?” Paul asked. “You alone are on high, and you’ve made these decisions? A lawyer with no scientific background, no medical degree. This is an arrogance coupled with an authoritarianism that is unseemly and unAmerican. You, sir, are the one ignoring the science.”

Paul noted that dozens of studies show robust, long-lasting immunity following a COVID infection. He pointed out other illnesses like measles and smallpox, where the CDC does not recommend vaccination after a person recovers. As almost anyone over the age of 40 knows, we were not vaccinated for chickenpox if we had it as children.

Paul told Becerra he should be ashamed of himself and accused him of being dishonest about natural immunity. “Today, after hearing millions of people in a study prove, show without a doubt that there’s a great deal of immunity from getting it naturally, do you want to apologize to the 100 million Americans who suffered through COVID, survived, have immunity, and yet you want to hold them down and vaccinate them? Do you want to apologize for calling those people flat-earthers?”

Becerra, of course, did not.

Becerra called Paul’s assertion about natural immunity, which is backed up by dozens of studies, an “opinion” and said his organization follows data, science, and on-the-ground results. Paul noted that this did not include the dozens of studies he referenced. “You’re selectively doing this because you want us to submit to your will. You have no scientific background and no scientific degrees. And yet, you aren’t really concerned about 100 million Americans who had the disease. You just want to tell us, ‘Do as you’re told.’ That’s what you’re telling us. You want to mandate this on all of us.”

Paul discussed the outrageous $700,000 proposed fine for employers with 100 or more employees that do not comply with the mandate. “This is incredibly arrogant combined with this authoritarian nature that you think we’ll just tell all of America to do as I say and they better or we’ll fine them or put them in jail or not let them go to school or not let them travel. The science is against you on this.”

Paul said his argument was not against the vaccine. He’s arguing for recovered patients to be allowed to make their own decision about getting vaccinated. He directly asked if Becerra was willing to consider natural immunity. Becerra answered that his team was reviewing every study and making recommendations based on them. He noted the current death count, which is invariably overcounted according to local studies in California and CDC data on breakthrough infections. Becerra said, “We’re using the facts, were following the science, and following the law.”

Paul shot back: “Nobody’s arguing the severity of this. But you are completely ignoring the science on natural immunity. So’s Fauci. So’s the whole group. You’re just ignoring it because you want submission. You want everybody to just submit to your will, do as you’re told, despite the evidence, the large body of scientific evidence that says natural immunity does work.”

Paul also noted that Americans with natural immunity are an essential part of how we will recover from the pandemic. When recovered and vaccinated Americans are added together, he said, we’re in a much different place in the pandemic. Paul pointed out that healthcare workers who recovered from COVID before the vaccine are now being coerced into vaccination by HHS mandates.

“Now, people like you are arrogant enough to say you can no longer work in the hospital because you’ve already had the disease. We’re going to force you to take a vaccine that the science does not prove is better than natural immunity. That’s an arrogance that should be chastened.”

Paul recovered from COVID-19 earlier in the pandemic and has advocated relentlessly for the recognition of natural immunity and early outpatient treatment. Becerra brought a feather to a knife fight. Astonishingly, he was not better prepared to answer fundamental questions that have permeated the public discourse.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky Admitted COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot ‘Prevent Transmission’

Little noticed interview explains vaccines are powerless at stopping delta variant

Rochelle Walensky, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, appeared on CNN in August and admitted that COVID-19 vaccines cannot prevent the transmission of COVID-19, citing the delta variant.

Walensky said that the controversial vaccines are working “exceptionally well” at keeping people from experiencing severe illness and death after they contract COVID-19, but admits, “what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.” She then urged the vaccinated to go back to wear masks.

Specifically, those who are vaccinated should “continue to wear a mask” indoors if they are in the presence of people who are unable to be vaccinated or are immunosuppressed or “a little bit, uh, frail” or have a high risk comorbidity like obesity.

The CDC has been criticized for being partisan and authoritarian throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, first with masks and now with vaccines. Recently, National File examined available CDC data and found that the federal agency’s own numbers suggest children are more likely to die from drug overdose, suicide, and influenza than COVID-19.

Last month National File also noted that the CDC quietly changed its definition of a vaccine:

On August 26, 2021, the definition of “vaccine” on the CDC website was “a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease.” The definition of “vaccination” at that time was “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.”

As of yesterday, the new definition of “vaccine” on the CDC website is “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” The definition of “vaccination” describes “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.”

National File also recently highlighted that the CDC is developing a gun injury “surveillance” program at hospital emergency rooms, and a separate gun data collection project involving the children involved with the 4-H non-profit organization’s popular programs for rural communities.

Lights at Bagram Airbase Turned On—Chinese Military Planes Reportedly Seen Landing at Abandoned US Airbase in Afghanistan

China military planes reportedly landed at Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan.  This is after Biden abandoned the base in its hasty surrender of the country.

For the first time since Joe Biden and General Milley withdrew all US forces from Bagram Air Base and left the Taliban with billions in US military weapons, the lights at Bagram were turned on last night.

Local witnessed several military planes, reportedly from China, landing and taking off from the base last night.

Joe Biden withdrew all US forces from Afghanistan and Bagram Air Base and now China is reportedly landing its planes there.

There has NEVER been a greater military blunder in US history.

The Daily Mail is reporting:

There have been multiple reports of military planes arriving at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan, just hours after images emerged showing that power was restored to the base for the first time since US forces evacuated the stronghold in July.

Images circulating on social media appear to show the airbase’s floodlights blazing in the distance, amid reports that several military planes have taken off and landed at the base in recent hours.

Several sources suggest that the aircraft are Chinese, given the Taliban are not thought to possess the expertise needed to power the base or maintain and fly several military aircraft.

The Taliban rejected rumors China was at the former US base:

There are other reports of China meeting with the Taliban.

Meanwhile, the Taliban is rounding up individuals suspected of being attached to the former regime or the US and torturing them.
