The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan soil was completely motivated by a political calculus to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of 9/11. This was one red line that the Biden Administration was determined to keep no matter what. 9/11 was the reason that US troops were in Afghanistan in the first place. It was former President Bush that sent our troops to Afghanistan to fight the war on terror. It was so that terrorism could not find a foothold in the mountains of this war-torn country. Ironically, the reason we committed the blood and treasure was precisely the same reason why we left.

An eye-opening article, The Taliban’s Goal in Governing Afghanistan May Surprise Youpositions the Taliban with a different set of goals.

According to reports from Arabic newspapers, Afghanistan’s new spiritual leader Sheikh Hibatu Allah Akhwanzadeh, whom they are predicting to be “Amir al Mu’mineen” (commander of the faithful/ actually the Caliph) of Afghanistan, does not intend to spread terror to the neighboring countries or even outside but to concentrate to rule Afghanistan as a Fundamentalist Sharia-compliant, Islamic Emirate. If true, this is the opposite of Iran’s Shia Islamic state that intends to spread its influence, religion, and power all over the world.

Let’s take a strategic look at the Taliban and their future plans with IQ al-Rassooli. The lasting question that we will be asking for years, if not decades, is what does the future of the war on terror look like? What does Afghanistan look like 10 years from now? What does the Middle East look like 10 years from now? Do we expect more terror attacks here in the US over the next ten years? What steps should America take if we are to prevent attacks on US soil in the war on terror?

IQ al-Rassooli, Foreign Affairs Analyst, is an Iraqi exile, Arabic speaker, scholar and author, and a weekly writer at America Out Loud.

Our Founding Documents Were Written for All Americans

Our Founding Documents Were Written for All Americans

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – At a recent school board meeting, Superintendent Dr. Charles Foust claims the Constitution wasn’t written with him, a black man, in mind. This view is contrasted with the belief that our founding documents were meant for every American, regardless of race or creed. I argue for a more inclusive interpretation, highlighting the freedoms these documents grant to all citizens.

Privacy Is Dead & Have We Entered an Era Where Sci-Fi Is Real?

The Tom Renz Show – Privacy and the 4th Amendment seem to have gone the way of most COVID hospital patients. We are tracked, and our information is traded everywhere. The federal government is contracting with private parties to do all the things they could not legally do themselves under the Constitution. This is an old CIA trick and has become mainstream. The scariest part of this is how much further this will go as…

Declaring War on the American Way

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I recall Superman’s original motto, advocating for “Truth, Justice, and the American Way.” Yet, when did we shift from supporting these ideals to opposing them?

It’s time for Americans to…

Supreme Court Blocks Protection of Children Act — Why?

The Voice of a Nation [malcolm at eight] – Does free speech allow for behavior that can destroy the fragile minds of our precious children? Medical psychiatry shows clearly that children who are sexually abused suffer long-term mental instability if they are sexually awakened prior to puberty. When pornography pushers like Hamburger Mary’s invade a child’s “age of innocence,” they are guilty of violating the laws of…

The American Constitutional Republic Is at Great Risk of Collapsing to Globalism and China

The National Security Hour with Col. John Mills Ret. – Yes, America is a growing, diverse society, but America’s Constitution came from and could only be created by Judeo-Christian values.

Looking 4 Healing Radio with Dr. Henry Ealy – Have you had enough of being polite to pro-vax idiots who continue to lie and disrespect you in the process? Have you had enough of entertaining their cognitive dissonance and harmaceutical whoring? Have you had enough of their gaslighting and reflexive dismissal of verifiable facts?

Thankful or Regretful Are We

Chasing Justice with Lt. Joe Pangaro – The state of our union is under siege; it is clear to anyone who looks at the reality.

The Left Doesn’t Think You Understand Complex Information

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – I explore the humorous side of political predictions, focusing on the claim that American democracy will end if Trump wins in 2024.

Argentina & Dutch Vote Against Leftist Ideology. Will US Follow?

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Globally, leftist ideology sparks discord, driving inflation and cultural clashes. Wars rage in Ukraine and Israel, with China-Taiwan tensions simmering. Voters in Argentina and the Netherlands reject this trend, electing right-wing leaders Javier Milei and Geert Wilders. Western media criticizes, but a conservative shift is undeniable. The world seeks change from leftist policies, and it’s happening now.

Why Hamas Won a Case Study in Cognitive War

The National Security Hour with Edward Haugland – In this episode, I delve into Israel’s struggle against Hamas, revealing how Hamas’ tactics in the cognitive war symbolize a broader global conflict.
