3 killed at Afghan wedding for playing tunes: killers claimed to be Taliban

Eyebrows by Max Factor

You cannot dance, you cannot sing, you cannot play music or wear a kippa, [a Jewish skullcap] if you don't want any trouble from the Taliban or other super orthodox Muslims. They will kill you and think they're the better for it because you don't believe the way they do.

Men claiming to be Taliban members shot 3 Afghan celebrants at a wedding, which doesn't bode well for this marriage, if you ask me.

Two men have been detained by Taliban authorities pretending that they are becoming "westernized" and a softer, gentler group of Allah-fearing folks, after the shooting and killing three wedding guests over music being played because fun is banned in super orthodox Islam.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid denied any connection to the two men who said they were Taliban members. A third gunman has not yet been detained but he is easily recognized as he has a dark beard, was dressed in earth tone Afghan clothing, has bad teeth, and wore sandals.

Four couples held a joint wedding in the Nangarhar province on Friday because they were having a "four-for-one" tent sale. The Taliban had banned music during its earlier administration from 1996 to 2001, and the wedding parties Friday had obtained permission from a local Taliban leader to play the music, the BBC reported.

The new Taliban government has not yet issued any decree on the subject, but many singers and musicians have already fled the country and let's not bring up the gays and lesbians.

A witness told reporters that some "young men" were playing music in a separate room when "three Taliban fighters [terrorists] came and opened fire on them."

Another witness said that the men "broke the musical instruments and then went out and … opened fire on approximately 50 people."

At least three people died as a result of the shooting, according to The Guardian.

Mujahid said the two men detained by authorities will be "handed over to face Sharia law." This could result in a double-whammy beheading or a slap on the wrist.

Virginia Dem scumcrumpet caught tampering with GOP signs before election while driving with suspended license

Radford, Virginia -- The cops saw something fishy going on and pulled over a vehicle less than 24 hours before Election Day. A deputy witnessed a woman pulling out campaign signs Monday evening and getting into a car that was being driven by party Delegate Chris Hurst. 

The signs were on display in front of the city recreation center that the woman was surreptitiously removing, according to Radford Sheriff Mark Armentrout. [H/T Fox News]

But the kicker was that Hurst, a Democratic Delegate, was driving the car with a suspended license and was given a "driving while suspended notification" by a deputy, local outlets report. 

Hurst was pulled over last year in Christiansburg for swerving his car, and he blew a 0.085 percent on a blood-alcohol test, above the legal limit.

Despite stinking of alcohol and struggling with a "walk and turn" test, he passed other field tests and was told to let his girlfriend drive home, according to The Roanoke Times.

"Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when they come for you?"

The current incident comes as the country watches the Virginia gubernatorial elections unfold Tuesday when former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe faces off against Republican challenger Glenn Youngkin.

Armentrout directed Fox News to the Radford Police Department for information regarding why Hurst’s license was suspended. That department said the matter has now been transferred to the Virginia State Police.

Radford City Police also confirmed that there was damage made to several of the political signs.

After getting pulled over, a deputy asked the female passenger, Emily Frentress, to return the signs and she complied without providing why she took them and why does she believe that parents have no say in their kids' education.

Hurst, for his part, was first elected as delegate in 2018 and is currently running as an incumbent against Republican challenger, Jason Ballard who said a lot of political things about Hurst and yadda, yadda.

Hurst’s office did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment about his underhanded, low-life, cowardly behavior as to why he was driving with a suspended license, having his passenger pull up signs belonging to the opposing party, and what does his mother think of his behavior. 

He represents the 12th District of Virginia, which includes Radford and Giles County, as well as other areas containing enough low-information voters to make this ginger their delegate.

Warren Wilhelm Jr. [aka Comrade Bill de Blasio] plans to run for NY governor

Among his accomplishments are: his ability to hide his wife's $800,000 of taxpayer money for ThriveNYC; his putting city workers out of work who refuse to abide by his COVID vaccine mandate; his miserable presidential campaign debacle; his support of the Sandinista National Liberation Front, a socialist Nicaraguan political party; and his height, Mayor Bill de Blasio [aka Warren Wilhelm Jr.] is reportedly planning to run in the New York 2022 gubernatorial election. 

Two [anonymous] sources told this to the New York Post on Monday. But the sources do not know when the comrade mayor plans to make the announcement as he is winding down his final two months as a failed mayor in the Big Apple.

Speculation over a de Blasio run to fill in the big shoes of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo [aka Handy Andy] ramped up last week after Politico New York said that the 'Big Drink of Water'  had finalized forms for the creation of a candidate committee with the state Board of Elections.

De Blasio gave a Bidenesque response when asked in a Monday night interview with NY1’s Errol Louis about the committee — which doesn’t list his specific future political plans.

"They're asking about the $800 thousand. Where'd you hide it?"

Called “New Yorkers for a Fair Future,” de Blasio replied that the committee “is a vehicle that I’ll be using to get the message out about things we need to do differently in New York City and New York State.”

Without confirming a gubernatorial run, the commie mayor went on about his desire to help move the “state forward,” noting: “There’s a lot of things that need to be fixed in Albany,” like getting rid of capitalism and free speech.

“I’m really looking forward to getting into this bigger discussion about where this state is going,” he told Mr. Louis.

A third source told The Post that de Blasio has been ramping up his outreach to his socialist political allies about jumping into next year’s race. He would join New York Attorney General Letitia Jones, who called for Cuomo's indictment so the office would be vacant and she could jump in as a democratic challenger to incumbent, albeit unelected, Gov. Kathy Hochul. She took over as governor after Handy Andy was forced to resign over several sex scandals. However, he still gets to keep his Emmy Award for best actor.

If de Blasio somehow gets elected, the state will get exactly what they deserve, good and hard.

AG. Garland misses deadline to give Senate info on basis for school board memo

Imagine, this guy could have been a Supreme Court Justice. Thanks Mitch.

Attorney General Merrick Garland, perhaps the worst AG ever to be in office, told Senate members of the Judiciary Committee last week that the Department of Justice would provide information regarding the DOJ's intervention in matters explaining their actions and words directed toward school board officials. The promise was to be completed by November 1, but so far they failed to provide the committee with the information. It may be due to Garland's incompetence as AG, but it's more likely due to the absence of additional information.

On the day that Garland testified, a letter was sent by eight GOP committee members addressed to Garland and calling for any information that acted as a catalyst for the memo other than the letter the National School Board Association sent to the Biden administration calling for federal action to their baseless claim, as we now know it to be. Garland agreed that the letter had a big effect on the DOJ's decision, but he pretended there was more that influenced his decision and that the letter wasn't the only basis for the memo.

Garland said that the incidents cited in the NSBA letter did not provide the basis for the memo. He claimed that other evidence including "public reports of violence and threats of violence" informed his decision-making, but he did not specify which ones.

"Pursuant to this commitment," the GOP members' letter said, citing Garland's agreement to turn over information, "please provide all evidence you personally used or relied on between Wednesday, September 29, 2021, and Monday, October 4, 2021 – other than the content of the NSBA letter dated Wednesday, September 29, 2021 – that formed the basis for the memo issued by the DOJ dated Monday, October 4th that addressed '…harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff," the letter requested.

"Because you were able to distill your evidence and craft a memo that fixed the gaze of the FBI directly on concerned parents across this country in just four days, you should be able to share that evidence with us in the same period of time," the letter said.

The request was signed by Sens. Ben Sasse, (R-NE), Charles Grassley, (R-IA), Mike Lee, (R-UT), Tom Cotton, (R-AR) Thom Tillis, (R-NC) Lindsey Graham, (R-SC), Marsha Blackburn, (R-TN), and John Kennedy, (R-LA).

The senators said they specifically chose November 1 as the deadline because it was exactly five days after the hearing. There should have been no problem, no time constraint on Garland's DOJ to gather the information the committee members requested.

But they either failed, or refused to do so.

Parents not wanting their children being taught that the are bad because of their skin color and arguing with the scumcrumpets on the school boards is not violence and the parents are not terrorists.

Fake You Leftist Hypocrites With Your Strategic Outrage Over "Let's Go Brandon!"

"Let's go Brandon!"

A pilot on Southwest Airlines allegedly said over the intercom "Let's go Brandon" and an alleged reporter for the Associated Press got the vapors and tried to enter the cockpit of the aircraft, possibly to wag a finger at said pilot and berate him if this really happened in the first place. She said that she was nearly kicked off the plane [for breaking federal law].

The media hearing about this story from the so-called reporter who almost had to be taken to the ICU compared the slogan "Let's Go Brandon!" to an ISIS sympathizer and many voiced outrage over the vulgarity of the name Brandon and what it now stands for. 

The chant "Let's Go Brandon!" became an internet sensation in September after an alleged reporter for NBC at a NASCAR Xfinity Series race claimed the crowd, that was clearly chanting "F**k Joe Biden!" was actually chanting "Let's Go Brandon" following the win by Brandon Brown.

"This is, I think, a witty and funny viral take on the media’s dishonesty that they tell us something that is clearly not true that we can see with our own eyes, and that is why I think it’s so popular with so many people," Outkick founder Clay Travis said on Monday on "America’s Newsroom."

Soon after the race, jokes and memes went viral and spread across the nation while the legacy media had to work fast to support their candidate and current co-President, Francis Joseph Biden [aka F. Joe Biden]. Now the "Let's Go Brandon!" chant is everywhere as Biden's poll numbers sag lower than his chin when he got caught napping at the G20 climate joke. 

The chant "Let's Go Brandon!" has made the left even crazier and angrier than normal. They tweeted, they shouted, they wrote columns and voiced hot takes by pundits calling the chant "vulgar" and offensive. But it's only offensive when it's their guy being mocked.

Alleged reporters for the Washington Post, Ashley Parker and Carissa Wolf wrote about what they considered "vitriol" from Biden critics in a piece titled "Biden’s critics hurl increasingly vulgar taunts."

The article claimed, "The current eruption of anti-Biden signs and chants, however, is on another level, far more vulgar and widespread" than anything seen in previous administrations. [Italics mine.]

Oh my, oh my, get me some smelling salts.

Not so ironically, but clearly hypocritically, these same leftists cheered when their fellow leftist used actual vulgarity to attack former President Donald Trump--the guy from the previous administration.

Take the aging actor Robert de Niro, for example. Hollywood stood and cheered for him at the Tony Awards when he twice proudly said "f**k Trump."

Leftists also cheered Kathy Griffin when she was photographed with the likeness of President Trump's severed head--they showed no outrage at all and she later claimed to be the victim when conservatives and Trump supporters called her out for her vulgar display. Other leftists also threatened to blow up the White House and posed with a mock severed head of Trump and even celebrated his fictional assassination in a poor adaptation of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar."

CNN has also complained about the chant on air when Democratic "political analyst" and New York Times writer, Maggie Haberman, spoke somberly about South Carolina Republican Congressman Jeff Duncan wearing a mask with the "Let’s Go Brandon" phrase on it.

"There's nothing serious about this. This is literally done so that he will get attention. And it's working. ..." Yes, Maggie; that's the point. He's a politician, you're a hack.

Also on "New Day," CNN’s John Avalon called the chant "trollish" and "not patriotic."

But it wasn't 'trollish' and 'not patriotic' when last June, Los Angeles magazine had an entire article about an art show whose theme was F**k Trump art. That did not cause mental harm on the left nor any consternation by the hordes of hypocrites who went ballistic over "Let's Go Brandon1"

However, a pilot on Southwest Airlines was able to cause "reporters" to freak out and have a cow just for saying those words: "Let's Go Brandon!"

Nobody in their right mind would freak out hearing someone from the old West say, "Dagnabbit." That's because he isn't saying "G-d d**nit." It's a substitute and is used to remove the vulgarity or offensiveness of the term it substitutes. 

So Fake You, leftists for your fake outrage and your fake moral superiority. You can all go to H-E-double hockey sticks!

McAuliffe lies about CRT "never been" taught in Virginia schools

Parents in Virginia, and indeed, in other parts of the country, are angry and are pushing back against Critical Race Theory (CRT) being taught to their children in public schools. But Virginia's Democratic Gubernatorial candidate, Terry McAuliffe, repeatedly claimed that CRT is not taught in Virginia's public schools even though it is being taught in Virginia's public schools where McAuliffe says it isn't. That he clearly lies doesn't look good for McAuliffe's chances for winning the governor's race, but he should get at least 25% of the vote since it seems as if one quarter of registered humans are oppositional to reality and common sense.

Just look at the Virginia Department of Education website and their multiple references to CRT. By multiple, I mean 47 references. But don't take my word for it--click on the link and check out what they referenced. McAuliffe's multiple claims that CRT isn't being taught in the schools is worse than hogwash--it's Marxist and racist propaganda.

Comrade McAuliffe made an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday and lied to host Chuck Todd that his GOP opponent, Glenn Youngkin, is lyingabout CRT-influenced curriculum in public schools.

“What’s Glenn Youngkin’s education plan? He wants to ban Critical Race Theory. Well, let me explain to you, it’s never been in Virginia,” McAuliffe said through the fork in his tongue.

“People trust me on education, but it’s at the forefront here in Virginia as it now is in others. You see what’s happening in Georgia and Florida because they’re talking about this Critical Race Theory,” McAuliffe bloviated. “And as I said before, and I’ll say it again, it’s never been taught in Virginia. And I really hate it, because it’s a racist dog whistle. And all Glenn Youngkin has done in this campaign is run down Virginia, run down our education system, run down our economy.”

Whenever Democrats use the term 'dog whistle' they are lying.

“And when you think of this right now on Critical Race Theory, Chuck, it’s not taught so all you’re doing is pitting parents against parents, parents against teachers, and they’re using children as political pawns,” McAuliffe said, in spite of it being taught and also on the Virginia Department of Education website.

The Manhattan Institute’s Chris Rufo, a man who is doing yeoman's work on dismantling CRT,  

highlighted several documents on the aforementioned website featuring CRT. One dated back to when McAuliffe was governor from 2014 to 2018. [In Virginia, one cannot run for two consecutive terms as governor but can run again for a second term at a later date.]

In 2015, the state Department of Education featured a slideshow promoting CRT in response to racial disparities in public school discipline.

To reduce school suspensions of Black students in Virginia, Brenda Townsend Walker, of the University of Southern Florida, pushed for school administrators to incorporate CRT into their disciplinary process and encouraged teachers to "[e]brace Critical Race Theory} and "[e]ngage in race-conscious teaching and learning."

In other words, be a racist and favor one group of students over another and also allow the favored group special advantages over the other group.

Let's go Brandon!

Israel complied with Law of Armed Conflict--Hamassholes, not so much

A report released Thursday by the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) argued that Israel complied with the law of armed conflict (LOAC) and the actions needed to mitigate civilian casualties in May hostilities with Hamassholes in the Gaza Strip.

“IDF military operations complied with LOAC and consistently implemented precautions to mitigate civilian risk, some exceeding those implemented in recent US combat operations that we participated in, despite confronting an adversary that often sought to exacerbate that risk deliberately,” the report assessment concluded. 

The report was performed by a task-force of twelve retired US generals, admirals and military legal experts commissioned by JINSA, a Washington, D.C. based organization.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) used a number of measures to reduce collateral damage to Gazan civilians such as: dropping leaflets warning of impending attacks, telephone calls to Gazan residents, text messages also used to warn Gazans the proverbial feces was about to hit the proverbial fan, and warning them to leave before airstrikes were about to level the playing field. In some cases small munitions were used as a "knock on the roof" just prior to an attack to provide further warning.

On the other side of the conflict Hamas wasn't so transparent in what they planned to do, which was a violation of LOAC.

“Yet, we found a significant gap between this reality of IDF LOAC compliance, and of Hamas’ violation of it, and the public’s perception. Israel’s messaging efforts were unable to close this gap,” the report stated.

The report states that it presents the first independent analysis of the conflict by US military commanders and lawyers with experience in counterterrorism and the laws of armed conflict.

The assessment by the contributors of the report was based on primary source research, a fact-finding trip to Israel, and discussions with senior Israeli and United Nations (UN) officials.

“The most telling feature of the Gaza conflict was the strategy mismatch between Israel’s purely military and operational objectives to degrade Hamas’ military capabilities and Hamas’ information-based strategic objectives of delegitimizing the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in global opinion as a violator of Palestinian rights and international law and degrading the IDF’s operational advantage,” the report found.

In the eleven-day Guardian of the Walls operation in May, approximately 4,300 rockets were fired blindly by Hamas from the Gaza Strip in the direction of Israel in a "point, fire, and pray" attempt to kill anyone unlucky enough to be at the receiving end of the rocket's flight. Hundreds of those rockets actually landed in Gaza to the dismay of the anti-Semites. 

Israel responded by striking about 1,600 military targets and destroying over 60 miles of "terror tunnels" in the Gaza Strip that were intended to be used for Hamassholes to enter Israel and kill anyone they could kill, including women and children as had been the case in the past. As far as the rockets go, the Iron Dome air defense system intercepted 90% of the incoming rockets. The Biden administration, especially members of "the squad," called for the defunding of Iron Dome in order to allow Hamas to do kill Israelis--it's as simple as that.

The JINSA report cited Israeli estimates of 264 total deaths in Gaza during the conflict, including 99 confirmed combatants, 40 believed to be combatants, and 120 civilians, with 20 of those killed by misfired Hamas rockets.

The hostilities claimed the lives of 12 Israelis, including one IDF soldier.

“Hamas serially violated LOAC by directing attacks against Israeli civilians, launching indiscriminate attacks against Israel, and exposing Gazan civilians to avoidable risk to either intentionally complicate Israeli military operations or exploit civilian casualties in order to make false claims of Israeli war crimes,” the report said. “Hamas deliberately located its military assets — including rocket launchers, mortar positions, command and control posts, and military tunnels — in close proximity to civilians, indicating an unlawful intent to utilize human shields and render it near impossible for the IDF to attack lawful targets without serious risk of incidental civilian casualties or collateral damage to civilian property.”

The JINSA report faulted Israel for “insufficiently” countering Hamas’ strategic use of disinformation. 

“The mismatch between Hamas’ strategic informational and Israel’s military operational objectives enabled both sides to claim victory in the May 2021 conflict, failing to resolve any foundational issues in the conflict and suggesting a high probability of future hostilities,” it was stated.

So nothing has changed between the two sides.

The task force concluded,  based on what it learned from the Israel-Hamasshole conflict: “the United States should prepare for operations against future adversaries that fight in complex environments, willingly put civilians at risk, and deploy deliberate disinformation campaigns to blame the other side for it.”

In conclusion, if you hate Israel, and thereby hate Jews, [because you can't have one without the other] you might believe the poor Hamassholes were innocent freedom fighters going up against the evil Israelis, but the opposite is the truth. 

No other nation on Earth has done so much to protect the civilian population of their enemy [who has made every effort to attack the civilian population] as has Israel.

Colin Kaepernick suggests slaves made millions, and all they did was play football

A serious clown

Former failed NFL quarterback Colin [aka Anus] Kaepernick was challenged on his blatant stupidity in which he compared playing a game one loves for fortune and fame to being treated like a southern slave.

In a report about a new Netflix flick by Fox News:

“Colin in Black & White” explored the former NFL star’s life from high school to the events that supposedly led him to become an advocate for social justice. One clip that had gone viral on social media showed Kaepernick comparing the scrutiny players receive from coaches to that of slavers.

“But let me tell you, what they don’t want you to understand, is what’s established is a power dynamic,” Kaepernick claimed as images showed NFL athletes being evaluated by coaches.

“Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod, and examine you searching for any defect that might affect your performance,” he said. “No boundary respected. No dignity left intact.”

In other words, the coaches are being compared to slave owners because they check the physical condition of the players in order to determine their fitness for the brutally physical game of football--emphasis on "game." The responsibility of coaches is to do all they can to win the game and if Kaepernick feels his "dignity" was compromised, he ought to join the military and take a physical with them.

The video cuts back to the time of slavery and those same athletes were shown shackled at a slave auction where they were physically evaluated. Today, we call such events a "job interview."

So here we have a below average football player who detracts from the horror of slavery by comparing it to the game of professional football. That's like comparing the Holocaust to the GOP. It isn't only stupid and inaccurate, it's a way of trivializing horrible events with things you don't like.

Social media exploded with responses to this idiot's words. Here is a sample:

Matt Walsh, The Daily Wire: “Kaepernick spent half a decade crying that NFL teams wouldn’t give him a shot and now he’s decided that actually being an NFL player is like being a slave. This dude is the most obvious and shameless con artist in modern American history.”

David Hookstead, The Daily Caller: “Colin Kaepernick thinks playing in the NFL is the same as being a slave. Kaepernick made $43.4 million playing for the 49ers and he still has a multi-million dollar Nike deal. This guy is an idiot and will do anything for attention. It’s that simple.”

Clay Travis, sports commentator: “Colin Kaepernick compares the NFL combine, which allows all players of all races a voluntary chance to become multi-millionaires, to slavery. Anyone still defending this imbecile lacks a functional brain.”

Kathy Barnette, political candidate: “My ancestors knew real slavery… it wasn’t being paid $20 million/year to play a game.”

Ian Miles Cheong: “The irony of Colin Kaepernick is that he’ll compare the NFL to slavery but remain silent on actual slavery in Xinjiang, where his Nike shoes are made.”

Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT): “How dare @Kaepernick7 compare the evil endured by so many of our ancestors to a bunch of millionaires who CHOSE to play game.”

Colin Kaepernick is no better than fellow idiots like Al Sharptongue and all the other race hustlers who make a living spouting crap like this.
