‘We Were Ignored’: Marine Corps Sniper Testifies Kabul Suicide Bombing Could Have Been Stopped


"On August 22, the sergeant and his fellow service members reported to the chain of command that the enemy performed an IED test run. Days later, they received intelligence of IED threats and a detailed description of a suspected suicide bomber and his companion. On August 26, Vargas-Andrews and others spotted a pair at Abbey Gate matching the description exactly and they requested permission to engage."

Why were they ignored?

South Carolina Senate 35 Race: Wading Through the Muddy Swamp Water on Election Day

Image
          The South Carolina Senate 35 Republican primary race that is currently in a run-off between Kershaw County businessman Mike Jones and Richland School District 2 board member Lindsay Agostini will be decided at the polls today, and the amount of muddy water voters have had to wade through from the mudslinger has made it difficult to decipher truth from fiction and smears from fact.           The Lindsay Agostini campaign released a press release on June 19 that claims Mike Jones was found guilty of misdemeanor and felony charges from more than a decade ago and "has no business running for any public office, much less the South Carolina Senate. His violent past is deeply troubling and makes him unelectable in November."            Mike Jones says the only thing he has ever been convicted of is a traffic violation and if those allegations were true, federal law would have prohibited him...

Can You Spare Eleven Minutes for Jesus on a Good Friday? He died, so that we may live.

I didn't find Jesus. He was never lost, but I sure was. Jesus found me and saved me from myself. On this day, which appears to be a dark day of blood bath and death, becomes a Good Friday of the greatest love imaginable, because nothing could ever surpass this goodness. God gave his only Son to die for our sins and transgressions. Jesus borne our griefs and carried our sorrows with him to the cross so that we may have peace in life. And I'm here to tell you, life without His peace, is not peace at all. I'm not talking about "peace on Earth" kind of peace. The peace I'm talking about is that inner peace that makes you whole. It gives you purpose. And it can only be found through Him. I know, I've walked without it. I was on the verge of destroying myself without it. The emptiness in my soul was punishingly powerful that it almost did me in. But His mercy and grace are more powerful. It was the resurrection of my life. The greatest gift ever given, and that ...

The Media and Democrats Can't Stop Trump Momentum and Biden Derailment with Black Voters

Image
     Former President Donald J. Trump was the keynote speaker at the Black Conservative Federation's honor's gala held in Columbia, S.C. the night before the South Carolina Republican Primary, and the press tried to make something about nothing of his remarks.       MSNBC asked South Carolina Republican Party Chair, Drew McKissick about the comments to which he replied by comparing Trump to a construction worker.      "If at this point everyone doesn't know how Donald Trump speaks and has spoken since he came on the scene in 2015 then they haven't been living in this country very long, McKissick told MSNBC. "Donald Trump is like a billionaire construction worker. I mean that's the way he talks and if they haven't gotten used to that yet then they're not going to."      Trumps remarks throughout the night was received with applause and laughter from the approximately 500 mostly black conservative lawmakers, activists, pun...
