US Provided Over $17B to Afghanistan, Afghan Refugees Since 2021: SIGAR
 
SIGAR said $3.5 billion in assets were moved from the Afghan Central Bank to the Afghanistan Resilience Trust Fund (ARTF).
 
Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said in its latest report that the United States has appropriated or otherwise made available $17.19 billion in assistance to Afghanistan and to Afghan refugees since the return of the Islamic Emirate.

SIGAR said $3.5 billion in assets were moved from the Afghan Central Bank to the Afghanistan Resilience Trust Fund (ARTF), and it counted this amount as part of the $17.19 billion total.

According to SIGAR’s report, these funds have been spent on humanitarian aid to Afghanistan and the cost of relocating and resettling Afghans who have worked with the US.

A part of the SIGAR report states: "$3.50 billion (was) transferred to the Afghanistan Resilience Trust Fund that is intended to protect macro financial stability on behalf of the Afghan people and could, in the long-term, include recapitalizing Afghanistan’s central bank, should the conditions materialize.”

Officials of the Islamic Emirate said the funds in the Afghanistan Resilience Trust Fund are part of the strategic reserves of the people of Afghanistan.

Alabama Supreme Court Green Lights Nitrogen Gas Execution for Convict Who Survived Lethal Injection
Nick R. Hamilton May 4, 2024 - 10:06 am



The Alabama Supreme Court has authorized the execution of a death row inmate who previously survived after being given a lethal injection.

The convict, Alan Eugene Miller, will now receive execution by nitrogen gas, the Washington Examiner reported.

Alabama’s high court authorized the method in a decision Thursday.

Republican Gov. Kay Ivey has not set the date for Miller’s execution.

Once it’s carried out, Miller will become the second death row inmate to die by nitrogen gas in the state.

However, the method has become controversial among liberal death penalty opponents.

After being convicted of killing three men during a 1999 workplace shooting, Miller was set to die by lethal injection.

However, the drug cocktail administered to Miller did not succeed in taking his life.

Attorneys for the condemned man echoed liberal opinions that the failed attempt was “precisely the unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain that the Eighth Amendment was intended to prohibit.”

Elections 2024 / Constitution Party - Presidential Acceptance Speech
« Last post by libertybele on Today at 03:32:33 pm »
I am not impressed and disappointed.  We have the right to express our beliefs in Christianity, and conservatism -- but attaching primarily a religious 'tone' and preaching is a wonderful attempt to promote the Constitution Party  but I don't see it as attracting new voters nor getting onto the ballot in all 50 states.

Speech is @ link below.

   I agree @LMAO but Trump is selling re-runs.  He campaigned on this $hit 8 years ago and he was in charge half that time.  Obviously, I can't give him the benefit of the doubt here.

The border is right where Trump's hyperbole bit him in the ass.

He campaigned on that ridiculous claim that Mexico would pay for the border wall and the result of that was that he couldn't/didn't push hard for border money when elected because that would have been contradicting his stupid promise.

As a result, he waited too long to make that push, and by the time he got around to it, the Democrats controlled the House and wouldn't give him the money.

Why no room at the inns? Feds filled ’em with people here illegally
Commentary
May 3, 2024


By Brian Lonergan

Those planning a sightseeing tour in one of America’s largest cities this summer may find it difficult to book a hotel room in or near the city, and the reason has nothing to do with increased tourism or business travel.

The U.S. government, in cooperation with sanctuary cities, have co-opted a growing number of hotels as temporary housing for the crush of people living in or entering the country illegally.

The epicenter of this phenomenon is New York City, which has been in crisis mode since buses of migrants began arriving steadily in the summer of 2022. Since then, the city has tried tent cities, homeless shelters, cruise ship terminals, airports and schools as living space for those here illegally.

Hotels, however, have emerged as the city’s go-to option. There are more than 16,000 hotel rooms in and around the Big Apple housing those who have come to America illegally. Many of the rooms are in hotels being used solely for migrants. Approximately 140 hotels in the region have either temporarily or permanently been taken out of inventory and are not available to regular travelers.

We don't "hate" Conservatives.

We hate pompous asses who don't recognize Donald Trump was a great POTUS because their savior Ted Cruz and now Ron DeSantis were rejected.

I recognized Trump wasn't a great POTUS before DeSantis even ran.

Primary voters choosing to nominate Trump rather than DeSantis has nothing to do with whether or not we approve of Trump's actions and the direction in which he wants to take the country.   They are unrelated issues.

NBC reports Biden's handlers are "looking to shorten his speeches" to limit his public displays of cognitive decline.

A Biden campaign spokesman insists it's about "quality over quantity."

Wasn't last Thursday's "speech" on campus violence only about a minute long?

That minute was a fraction of a speech that he spent mumbling about something else.  I think he spent more time on "Islamophobia" than antisemitism.

During the interview Cuomo offers to share his doctors’ info with him since he is also suffering from a vaccine injury as well.

I was searching through the interview to find the point where Cuomo admitted that Conservatives were right all along.  But no luck.

Typical liberal.  Zero connection to their own past actions.  Purely driven by emotion instead of facts.

Even more telling, there has been zero attempt to elevate Kamala Harris to make her look even remotely Presidential.  The most likely reason is that it has proved to be an impossible task.  Either way, they are fully vested solely in Biden as their ticket for the next four years.  They can't even fall back on the White House being in good hands if Biden faulters.

You would think they would at least be pushing out Kamala as having leadership capability.  But she is nowhere to be found.
