More than three years after our messy and mortifying Afghanistan exit, Secretary of State Antony Blinken finally had to face the House Foreign Affairs Committeeābut did he take any responsibility? Of course not.
Ā
He passed the buck, tried to blame Trump, and made more excuses than a kid caught shoplifting a candy bar. This embarrassment of an administration has a zero-accountability MO on just about everything.
Ā
But as if our mortifying Afghanistan exit wasnāt bad enough, weāre still giving the Taliban lunch money every dadgum day.
Ā
My friend, who goes by the name of āLegend,ā is an Afghan American and former U.S. Army noncommissioned officer who has deployed to Afghanistan many times and even went to Kabul to rescue people left behind during our disastrous withdrawal. He explained to me that the UN flies the cash from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan Central Bank, which is managed by aĀ terrorist.
Ā
Millions of U.S. tax dollars are being doled out to evil-doers who hate Christians and Jews and kill Afghan citizensāand Secretary Blinken doesnāt seem to mind. He thinks you should be okay with giving them money because itās ā0.1 percentā of the cash we blindly funnel into the UN and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).
Ā
Let me be clear: I donāt care if itās a dadgum penny.
Ā
These monsters will hate us for free. Why let them use our own cash against us?
Ā
This is exactly why I recently introduced legislation to make sure our tax dollars donāt go to terrorists who want to wipe us off the map. The bill draws a hard line with strict oversight and accountability measures to keep every red cent of American money out of terroristsā hands. The "No Tax Dollars for the Taliban Act" passed in the House, and I look forward to the day itās put into motion.
Ā
This isn't just a fight for our tax dollarsāit's a rallying cry for our safety and our valuesāno more American money for terrorists.
