What does one do if her or she is neither Republican or Democrat, just an independent thinker, in today’s toxic political brew?

Pete Hegseth, the self-proclaimed stud muffin, former Fox Weekend News talking head, has himself in a serious pickle now, and I’d bet money that it will cost him his job.

WD hen President Trump originally made plans for the United States to leave Afghanistan, he was determined to retain Bagram Airbase in order to keep tabs on Chinese nuclear facilities. Afghans who had helped America would be flown to the West from there in an orderly manner. Under Biden, however, that plan went out the window. The U. S. deserted Bagram in the middle of the night while abandoning watch dogs and leaving the lights on. Those who managed to escape the Taliban were airlifted from a chaotic Kandahar without being vetted. Some actually climbed onto airplanes and fell off to their deaths in flight. Others were crammed inside planes even if they had done nothing to help the Americans. Part of that group eventually reached the United States. Rahmanullah Lakanwal was in that group. It was reported he had assisted the CIA. Rahmanullah eventually reached Washington State where he set up residence with his wife and five children. The normal rent for his apartment was in the neighborhood of $2,000 a month. Allegedly, he spent his days playing video games while his expenses were paid by a wealthy Democrat donor who owned a number of pet clinics nationally. This individual had given money to several Democrat presidential candidates including Kamala Harris.
