REUTERS TV/1TV/Handout via REUTERS The deadly attack on Kabul airport has underlined the realpolitik facing Western powers in Afghanistan: engaging with the Taliban may be their best chance to prevent the country sliding into a breeding ground for Islamist militancy. Almost two weeks after the Taliban’s surprise return to power, officials in Europe are beginning to acknowledge that their pragmatic option is to put aside distaste for the country’s new leaders and work with them instead. “It is clear: the Taliban are reality in Afghanistan now,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said this week. “This new reality is bitter, but we have to work with it.” A senior European Union official said it is not enough for G7 powers to take the moral high ground and adopt an aggressive stance towards the Taliban, not least because that would hand China

Kathy Hochul (D) announced her selection for her second-in-command, which is soon to be Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin. During the announcement event Thursday, Hochul praised Benjamin as a choice that would help her get her new administration off the ground. “Someone who’ll be out there championing our policies and our admission administration’s agenda in every corner of the state with a real focus on New York City,” she stated. “Because New York City needs our help.” Hochul promised Benjamin would have an important role in her administration, which marks a stark contrast from the relationship she had with her predecessor over the last seven years. This new relationship will be tested next year when the Hochul-Benajmin ticket will appear on the ballot. I want to thank Governor Hochul for trusting me with the i

Mark Andries/U.S. Marine Corps) The general overseeing the American evacuation from Afghanistan said Thursday’s attack against U.S. service members might not be the last. On Thursday, Commanding General Kenneth McKenzie warned terrorist attacks could continue in the region. “We believe it is their desire to continue those attacks and we expect those attacks to continue,” he stated. “And we’re doing everything we can to be prepared for those attacks.” General McKenzie said very serious security threats remain for American military personnel as the U.S. approaches Joe Biden’s August 31 deadline to withdraw from Afghanistan. “Very, very real threat streams….would call tactical,” he explained. “That means imminent could occur at any moment and they range from rocket attacks. We know that they would lik

In a video statement Friday, former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said America’s powerful elite have downplayed the threat of ISIS and Al-Qaeda for reasons she could not detail because of her active duty status. “This incident should remind the American people that ISIS and Al-Qaeda are alive and well,” Gabbard stated. “And are actively continuing to use terror to try to force the world to accept their demand that we convert to their interpretation of Islam.” (1) Our hearts go out to the families of our brothers and sisters who were kill
