As we reported‚ the Biden Energy Department paused permits to export LNG to countries with which the US does not have free trade agreements. It’s a horrendous idea. The U.S. must export to them if it is in the “public interest.” Never in our history has the department rejected a permit. But now the Administration […] The post Biden DOE’s “Remarkably Destructive” Ban on LNG Exports appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

It’s been more than two years since the United States abandoned its allies in Afghanistan. While America seems to have moved on from this dark page of history‚ many of our veterans have not. Veteran volunteer groups like Moral Compass Federation continue to sound the alarm‚ because the terror warning dashboard light on Afghanistan is now blinking red. As we enter this turbulent election year‚ a serious national security threat of global terrorism has been eclipsed by sensational civil trials and unprecedented partisan mudslinging. In order to bring the terror threat into sharp focus this election year‚ here are three things that might surprise you about Afghanistan: An Estimated 20 Terror Groups Are Operating In Afghanistan The son of Osama bin Laden‚ Abdallah bin Laden‚ has been spotted as recently as 2023 in Ghazni and Kandahar Provinces. Is he enjoying the tourist season in Afghanistan? Doubtful. A new report from the UN Security Council paints a grim picture of terror threats in Afghanistan. ISIS-K currently presents the greatest threat. They are assessed by the UN intelligence community as capable of projecting effective terror threats on a global level. Al-Qaeda is also re-generating rapidly from a strategic messaging entity to an operational force. While they only possess a regional capacity at the moment‚ they have aspirations (and the potential) to strike on a global scale. This is evidenced by the fact that Al-Qaeda has reportedly opened eight new training camps in Afghanistan. There are also five Al-Qaeda sponsored madrasas inside Afghanistan’s borders where thousands of future terrorists are radicalized for future strikes‚ regionally and globally. The State Department Sends $80 Million To The Taliban Every 10-14 Days According to the UN‚ there’s been more than $2 billion sent to the Taliban since the collapse. While the Biden administration contends that these funds are used for humanitarian aid‚ veterans’ groups and intelligence insiders assert that much of this money gets funneled into other nefarious uses‚ including into madrassas. More than two million students have graduated from these institutions of radicalization since the collapse in Afghanistan. There is little to no external oversight inside Afghanistan to ensure this foreign aid is applied responsibly‚ and not for terrorist activities. In fact‚ John Sopkos‚ Director of the Special Investigator General for Afghanistan Reconstruction said in a recent 2023 Congressional Testimony that he “cannot assure this committee or the American taxpayer [that] we are not currently funding the Taliban.”  A Small Group Of Afghans Are Actively Resisting The Taliban The NRF is led by Ahmad Massoud‚ the son of the slain Northern Alliance Leader‚ Ahmad Shah Massoud‚ killed by Al-Qaeda suicide bombers just before the attacks on September 11‚ 2001. As Afghanistan collapsed‚ resistance fighters consolidated in the Panjshir Valley of Northeast Afghanistan to make their stand against the oppressive Taliban rule. It hasn’t been easy. The NRF has almost no external support. The State Department refuses to officially engage the political wing of the NRF‚ opting instead to push for engagement with the Taliban — a group who practices a neanderthal version of “gender apartheid” on a grand scale. Yet the NRF conducts determined attacks against the Taliban and their Al-Qaeda Allies. The resistance is the only force attempting to disrupt otherwise unfettered terror activity in this safe haven we created by our irresponsible exit. Many veterans‚ concerned with the growing terror threat in Afghanistan have voiced their support for the NRF in an organization called Vets4NRF. The abandonment of our Afghan Allies of 20 years heaped a moral injury on an entire generation of American Veterans who voluntarily fought the longest war in American History. This violation of a strict veteran code of never abandoning our allies by our political‚ diplomatic‚ and senior military leaders has resulted in increased mental health issues across the veteran community. It has also contributed to recruiting and retention issues in the military. We shouldn’t turn the page on Afghanistan. If we do‚ our enemies have a vote in the outcome‚ and they’ll make us pay for it. Veterans serve as our moral compass when institutional leadership fails. They should get loud this election year. They should continue to demand support for our at-risk and highly vetted allies. Helping our Afghan Allies‚ helps our veterans. We also need Americans to bring the growing threat in Afghanistan back onto the main stage this election year. The NRF isn’t looking for American boots on the ground. Perhaps instead of cutting those 40-million-dollar-a-week checks to the Taliban‚ we should send them to the only outfit that’s directly standing up to terrorism‚ the NRF. Because if we stay on this current path of directly financing terror groups and pretending the Taliban will behave in our best interest‚ there will be American boots on the ground‚ only they’ll be worn by our children.

Jay-Z used his time onstage at the 2024 Grammy Awards ceremony to chastise the Recording Academy for never giving his wife‚ Beyoncé‚ the coveted Album of the Year Award. The 54-year-old hip hop artist made the remarks while accepting the 2nd annual Dr. Dre Global Impact Award‚ per a report from People.  “We want y’all to get it right. At least getting close to right. And obviously it’s subjective. Y’all don’t gotta clap at everything. Obviously it’s subjective because‚ you know‚ it’s music and it’s opinion-based‚” Jay-Z‚ whose real name is Shawn Carter‚ stated. “But‚ you know‚ some things — I don’t want to embarrass this young lady‚ but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year. So even by your own metrics‚ that doesn’t work. Think about that. The most Grammys‚ never won Album of the Year. That doesn’t work‚” he continued. Jay-Z's #Grammys speech pic.twitter.com/AWl6snvaPO — JAY-Z Daily (@JAY_Z_Daily) February 5‚ 2024 Though Carter did not clarify which “young lady” he was referring to‚ fans understood him to be complaining about Beyoncé. The publication noted that Beyoncé was nominated for Album of the Year four times and never won. The singer currently holds the record for the most Grammy wins in history with 32. The “Break My Soul” singer lost out in Album of the Year in 2010 to Taylor Swift‚ again in 2015 to Beck‚ in 2017 to Adele‚ and in 2023 she lost to Harry Styles. This year‚ Swift won Album of the Year for “Midnights” while Beyonce was not nominated for any Grammys. “You know‚ some of you gonna go home tonight and feel like you’ve been robbed. Some of you may get robbed. Some of you don’t belong in a category. No‚ when I get nervous I tell the truth‚” Jay-Z added. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Jay-Z concluded his speech while standing beside his daughter‚ Blue Ivy. He said‚ “We gotta keep showing up. And forget the Grammys for a second‚ just in life. As my daughter sits and stares at me‚ nervous as I am. Just in life‚ you gotta keep showing up‚ forget the Grammys‚ you gotta keep showing up. Until they give you all those accolades you think you deserve‚ until they call you a chairman‚ until they call you a genius‚ until they call you the greatest of all time. You feel me?” Viewers were quick to compare Jay-Z’s speech to the infamous incident at the 2009 MTV VMAs when Kanye West interrupted then-19-year-old Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video and declared that Beyonce should have won instead. “Yo‚ Taylor‚ I’m really happy for you‚ I’mma let you finish‚” West said at the time. “But Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!”

An attorney representing the families of two of the Gilgo Beach murder victims claims that the suspect’s wife may have been in town during one of the killings. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney has long maintained that the serial killer suspect’s wife was out of town when each of the four murders occurred‚ but attorney John Ray is arguing that is not the case‚ the New York Post reported. Ray‚ who is representing the families of victims Shannan Gilbert and Jessica Taylor‚ says he spoke to an Atlantic City hotel manager who said the serial killer suspect’s wife and her children arrived at their destination on a different day than investigators believe. The Daily Wire is not naming the suspect or his wife‚ who has not been charged with any crimes and is not suspected of any. An attorney for the wife‚ Bob Macedonio‚ told Fox News that if Ray is right about the timeline‚ the case against her husband could fall apart. “When‚ in the course of any investigations on any criminal matters‚ do they do that up front in a bail application?” he told the outlet. “Very‚ very rarely. … If he’s wrong‚ it creates reasonable doubt in his whole case.” The suspect has pleaded not guilty to the murders of Megan Waterman‚ Melissa Barthelemy‚ and Amber Costello‚ who were found on a beach along the south shore of Long Island‚ New York‚ back in 2010. In January‚ the suspect was charged with the murder of a fourth woman‚ Maureen Brainard-Barnes. He has not been charged with the murders of Gilbert and Taylor‚ whose bodies were also found on Gilgo Beach. It was actually Gilbert’s disappearance and the subsequent search for her body that revealed the bodies of other women and at least one man in the same area. Macedonio‚ the attorney for the suspect’s wife‚ denied what the hotel manager allegedly said and has sent a letter to the hotel demanding it reveal the employee’s name who disclosed confidential information about his client or give a statement on the record saying the claim is untrue. The suspect was arrested on July 13 for the murder of the three women. Six days after his arrest‚ his wife filed for divorce. She and other family members reportedly will receive $1 million for participating in a documentary series with Peacock. The project will follow the family’s lives as they cope with the upcoming trial and how it has uprooted their lives. Police investigating the Gilgo Beach serial killings are operating on the theory that the suspect committed the murders in his own home‚ a source told CNN. The theory is based on the repeated claim that the suspect’s family was out of town during the murders‚ suggesting he may have lured the victims to his home‚ a source involved in the investigation told the outlet. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Authorities are operating under this theory‚ the source said‚ as they continue to search the suspect’s home for trace evidence of the victims. Killing them at his own home would have allowed him to control the environment while having easy access to the materials found along with the victims at Gilgo Beach‚ such as tape and burlap bags. Four bodies were found within days of each other. The body of Barthelemy was found on December 11‚ 2010‚ during a police training exercise with a K9‚ according to a bail application obtained by the Daily Beast. Two days later‚ police searched the area and discovered the three other bodies. If convicted‚ the suspect faces multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole.
