Friend,
As the fallout from President Biden’s exit from Afghanistan continues to worsen, Mike has been holding the administration accountable for repeatedly lying to the American people. While Biden retreats, the Chinese Communist Party is rapidly acting to expand its power in the region.
Bottom Line: “Surrendering Bagram and pulling out military assets before we had gotten every American citizen out of the country will go down as one of the worst foreign policy mistakes in the history of United States foreign policy and so this president, to add insult to injury, has been lying to the American people for two weeks. The foundation of our foreign policy has always been peace through strength. Well, the Biden doctrine is to sow chaos through weakness.” –– Rep. Gallagher Bottom Line: “He [Fauci] has repeatedly lied before Congress and the American people and he should immediately resign. But his resignation is not enough. Congress must also conduct a thorough investigation into this research and the way in which these grants were issued to ensure no bureaucrat is able to hide behind lawyerly definitions and skirt regulations like this again.” –– Rep. Gallagher I AGREE! DR. FAUCI NEEDS TO RESIGN! [READ] CHINA SENDS TALIBAN $31 MILLION TO HELP CEMENT CONTROL OF AFGHANISTAN
Bottom Line: “China will provide almost $31 million worth of food, winter weather supplies, vaccines, and medicine to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, China's Foreign Ministry said Wednesday. The Taliban announced the formation of a hardline interim government for Afghanistan, filling top posts with veterans of the Islamist militant group who oversaw the 20-year fight against the US-led military coalition.” –– CNN

Bottom Line: “China is considering deploying military personnel and economic development officials to Bagram airfield, perhaps the single-most prominent symbol of the 20-year U.S. military presence in Afghanistan. The Chinese military is currently conducting a feasibility study about the effect of sending workers, soldiers and other staff related to its foreign economic investment program known as the Belt and Road Initiative in the coming years to Bagram, according to a source briefed on the study by Chinese military officials.” –– US News & World Report
