During an  interview Sunday, he criticized a number of decisions made by the administration on Afghanistan, including what resulted in the deaths of civilians and Americans in the country. “This is a debacle that didn’t have to be and has real ramifications for American security as we move forward,” Pompeo stated. “The threat from terrorism from abroad is certainly increased now.” He added what occurred after the set date to leave the country was a sign of “stubbornness” on behalf of Joe Biden. “He could see that the Taliban were going to take over and the government in Kabul was going to fall; he chose not t

Pentagon Calls Kabul Strike ‘Tragic Mistake’

The Pentagon retreated from its defense of a drone strike that killed multiple civilians in Afghanistan last month, announcing Friday, Sept. 17, that a review revealed that only civilians were killed in the attack, not an Islamic State extremist as first believed. (AP Photo/Khwaja Tawfiq Sediqi, File) The Pentagon admitted that a drone strike in Afghanistan was a “tragic mistake” after the Biden administration hailed it as “righteous” for weeks. An apology from the U.S. appears to mean little to Kabul residents who are now mourning after the strike killed 10 people last month. Seven of those casualties were children. Sone Kabul resident said the attack should have never happened in a residential area. They have called for the perpetrators to be punished for their actions and suggested the victims deserve compensation. Head of the U.S. Central Com

Onyeji Nnaji Slammed Sophia Dickson on the Wrong Documentation of Igbo History

Image
In a paper titled, The History and Origin of the Igbo People in Nigeria by Sophia Dickson, it was claimed that one of the reasons why the Imo, Abia areas are called the Igbo heartland was that the area was the first place the Igbo people settled when they travelled from the African Great Lakes and Mountains of the Moon of  East and Central Africa. Sophia made the whole history work  laughable when she inked that evidence of this migration was unearthed in Nsukka, evident with potteries carbon-dated back to 4500BCE. The worst part of her document states that the Igbo migration took effect in about 5000BCE. She wrote thus: "The Kwa people's first areas of settlement in Igboland was the North Central uplands (Nsukka-Afikpo-Awka-Orlu) around 5000BCE...." Evidence of this movement was found on the potteries found in Nsukka which were carbon dated to have existed around 4500BCE. There is evidence that the ancestors of the Igbo people and most of their neighbors were the proto-

On Wednesday, the State Senate voted seven to four to authorize 17 subpoenas requesting information from Gov. Tom Wolf’s (D) office. The lawmakers are seeking information on all voters in the state, including partial Social Security numbers, driver’s license details and how they cast ballots. State Sen. Cris Dush (R) said the review is necessary in order to address allegations of voter irregularities in the swing state. A Pennsylvania Senate committee is meeting this morning to vote on subpoenas for their 2020 election review.

(Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images) The Republican Study Committee unveiled a plan to fight Joe Biden’s program to quickly resettle tens of thousands of Afghan refugees into the U.S. In a  memo   on Wednesday, the RSC said Biden’s plan was dangerous and extended as well as an open border approach to immigration policies. RSC Chair Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) pointed out the Biden administration requested $6.4 billion to fly any unvetted Afghan national into the U.S. by the end of the next fiscal year. He added the Democrats’ request included lifetime welfare and a path to citizenship for said Afghans. “The Biden administration wants billions of dollars to fund unlimited green cards for unvetted Afghans,” Banks expressed in a tweet. “Opening our borders to a Taliban-run nation with the promise of lifetime welfare and citizenship for their extended family is reckless and dangerous.” ALERT: Biden just sent Congress hi

(Chip Somodevilla/Getty) Former President Donald Trump on Saturday released a video praising the "brave" first responders from Sept. 11, 2001, then slammed President Joe Biden for his chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.  “The leader of our country was made to look like a fool and that can never be allowed to happen. It was caused by bad planning, incredible weakness and leaders who truly didn’t understand what was happening,” Trump said in a  video shared  by his Save America PAC. “This is the 20th year of this war and should have been a year of victory and honor and strength. Instead, Joe Biden and his inept administration surrendered in defeat,” Trump said. Terrorists killed 2,977 people on 9/11, including many New York City first responders. Ceremonies in Lower Manhattan, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania commemorated the horrific event that shaped the past two decades. "For the great people of our country," Trump said in th
