Kamala’s Legacy: Three Years After the Botched Biden-Harris Afghanistan Withdrawal, Taliban Announces New ‘Vice and Virtue’ Laws Banning Women’s Voices and Bare Faces in Public:

Democrats and the media don’t like to talk about it, but the botched Biden-Harris withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 has put a brutal regime in the driver’s seat.

AP reports that an emboldened Taliban, who recently embarrassed the US by holding a parade with abandoned military equipment, has issued new ‘Vice and Virtue’ laws that include a ban on women’s voices and bare faces in public.

From AP:

The laws were issued Wednesday after they were approved by supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, a government spokesman said. The Taliban had set up a ministry for the “propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice” after seizing power in 2021.

The ministry published its vice and virtue laws on Wednesday that cover aspects of everyday life like public transportation, music, shaving and celebrations.

Article 13 relates to women. It says it is mandatory for a woman to veil her body at all times in public and that a face covering is essential to avoid temptation and tempting others. Clothing should not be thin, tight or short.

Women should veil themselves in front of all male strangers, including Muslims, and in front of all non-Muslims to avoid being corrupted. A woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public. It is forbidden for women to look at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and vice versa.

Harris defended the decision and even tried to take credit for the disastrous withdrawal that left 13 American service members dead and placed Afghani women at the mercy of monsters that have no mercy.

She proudly told CNN’s Dana Bash that she played a key role in Biden’s withdrawal decision, bragging that she was “the last person in the room” before President Joe Biden made the decision to pull all U.S. troops out.

Biden-Harris also gave $1 Billion to Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover and the Treasury Department and USAID won’t say where the money went.

Activist Riley Gaines asks an important question, “Where is the outrage? No protests on college campuses. No statement from the White House.”

The Regime Strikes Back: Secret Service Rips Away RFK Jr.’s Protection After Endorsing President Trump:

The Biden Regime is striking back against RFK Jr. after he endorsed President Trump.

The New York Post reported Sunday that the RFK Jr. will no longer have Secret Service protection because had suspended his candidacy, despite the fact he remains on the ballot in 40 out of 50 states.

Recall that RFK Jr. on Friday said that he was only withdrawing from the race in 10 swing states, which would decide the election between President Trump and Kamala Harris. He still wants his fans residing in safe red and blue states to continue to vote for him.

Moreover, RFK Jr. will soon join Trump on the campaign trail. Given that two high-profile individuals will appear together across the country, more, not less, Secret Service security is imperative.

This is especially true when one considers the fact Trump came within a centimeter of getting assassinated last month, and another maniac wanted to end the 45th president’s life in Arizona this week. The chances of someone wanting to put a bullet in Kennedy just WENT UP because he endorsed the Democrats’ most loathed man.

Make no mistake: this move was not about the Secret Service wanting to save a few dollars. This is about petty vengeance due.  Now, the Regime is perfectly content with leaving RFK Jr. out to dry despite the inevitable dangers he will surely encounter.

Pro-Illegal Immigration Kamala Harris Possibly Caught Using Trump’s Border Wall in TV Ad and Social Media Replies Are Savage:

Earlier this month, Kamala Harris’ campaign started running a propaganda ad focused on “securing” America’s southern border by hiring more border agents while stopping fentanyl and human trafficking.

However, the uproar over the ad is focused on something quite ironic.

An eagle-eyed conservative noticed the open borders. Harris not only featured border walls during the advertisement but may have used segments of Trump’s own border wall.

Mike Howell, the executive director of the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, screenshotted the two wall images in the ad in an X post and made the following remark:

What is that in this ad? Looks like the @realDonaldTrump BORDER WALL to me!

Conservative X users savagely roasted Harris, who previously plagiarized Trump’s “No Tax on Tips” proposal.”

Former Obama Intern and Democrat Campaign Worker Speaks Out After Attending the DNC as Volunteer:

A former Obama intern and lifelong Democrat who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 has taken to social media to blast the Democrat Party in a scathing video that exposes what conservatives have long suspected: the party is out of touch, elitist, and disconnected from the real struggles of everyday Americans.

The woman, who identifies herself as Evan, posted the video on X, where she shared her disillusionment with the Democrat Party after attending the Democratic National Convention (DNC) as a volunteer.

According to her, she left the convention early because “it sickened me.”

Evan, who has dedicated much of her career to working in ‘progressive politics,’ signed up to volunteer at this year’s DNC, expecting to find renewed faith in the Democrat Party. Instead, she found herself more disillusioned than ever before.
“Okay, I’m going to get real in this...

“I just got back from the DNC, where I signed up to volunteer. When I initially signed up to volunteer, Joe Biden was still the nominee; it wasn’t yet Kamala Harris. I’ve worked in progressive politics for a long time.

I have worked for many different Democratic candidates—Senate candidates, House candidates, and even some Democratic organizations. As the years have gone by, I found myself getting more and more disillusioned with the Democratic Party, although until now, I’ve never said that out loud or anywhere public. I just want to say that by saying this, I’m not necessarily saying that the other party is better. I’m just giving you my experience working with the Democrats.”

Evan reveals the unvarnished reality of campaign fundraising, where candidates devote countless hours courting wealthy donors instead of engaging with everyday voters. This systemic flaw, according to Evan, undermines the very democracy that the party claims to champion.

“Throughout my career, I’ve mostly done campaign fundraising, so I’ve seen the way that it works behind the scenes. I know that candidates spend 8, 9, 10 hours a day just calling donors and begging rich people for money. It’s pretty much the only people that they talk to.

Of course, sometimes they have to talk to voters, but the majority of their time is spent calling and begging rich people to give them money for their campaigns. What this inevitably means is that we don’t actually live in a democracy; it’s just rich people calling the shots and having the access to talk to the politicians.

They’re the ones that basically get their ear all day. They’re the ones that can help shape and prioritize what the politician actually focuses on. Even the politicians that detest this, that want to get big money out of politics, still have to play this game. They still have to make these calls. They still spend the same amount of time just calling rich people and begging them for money.

Unfortunately, once they get into office—if they get into office—they soon realize that the money machine is so great and the seduction of power is so immense that they no longer adhere to these values. When I first got into politics, I thought that Democrats were the party of the people.

The convention atmosphere struck Evan as elitist and disconnected from the struggles of average Americans. The speeches, filled with vague promises rather than concrete plans for economic relief, left her feeling angry and betrayed.

“But at the DNC this week, I felt like I was in a building with the most elite and out-of-touch people in the entire world. It very much felt like, “Let’s just have a huge party and forget all of our problems because the vibes are good.”

When I was there, I didn’t feel any connection to real America or the place that I come from, which is the Midwest—Kansas City, Kansas, and Missouri. I didn’t feel any connection to the people that I know right now who are struggling to buy their groceries or pay their rent. The people who want to know what both candidates are going to do to materially affect change in their lives.”

Evan’s disillusionment reached a breaking point during Kamala Harris’s speech, which she found devoid of substance.

“When I was there listening to the speeches, I felt myself getting mad because I didn’t hear anything about the economy—definitely not in Kamala’s speech, and not very much in the others as well.

Instead, I heard generic platitudes, things like “joy,” “respect,” and “integrity.” What does that even mean? “Let’s make the military the most lethal in the world.” I thought I was part of the anti-war party. I thought I was part of the party that fought for the underdog, that championed working people. When and how did we just become the party of academia, anemia, and affluence? Because that’s what we are right now.

How can we ever say that we’re going to fight corporate power or give a voice back to those communities that have been left behind when, above the delegates on the floor, in levels and levels of suites, donors and corporations were literally looking down on the people below from above?

In a final, gut-wrenching admission, Evan declared, “I don’t think I can support Kamala Harris for president. I don’t even know if I can call myself a Democrat anymore. I don’t know who I’m going to support, but I know it’s not her.”

Hey, kiddo, you're just now figuring that out?  Check a calendar for November 22, 1963 and June 6, 1968.  Democrats being "anti-war" and "fighting for the underdog" and "championing working people" ended a long time ago.  Grow up.
