Pakistan alleges that US equipment left behind in Afghanistan is showing up elsewhere in nefarious hands.<\/p>\n

Pakistan’s caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said terror groups in the country are now using American equipment, including night vision goggles and firearms, in their operations. One group, known as the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), has increased attacks on government forces in recent months.<\/p>\n

The U.S. abandoned approximately $7 billion worth of military equipment in Afghanistan following President Biden’s withdrawal from the country in 2021.<\/p>\n

Just under three-quarters of the 427,300 weapons provided to the Afghan forces were left behind along with less than 1,537,000 “specialty munitions” and small arms ammo.<\/p>\n

Pakistani officials said the TTP has boasted of possessing weapons with laser and thermal targeting systems and that the TTP have begun engaging security forces at longer ranges than they were previously capable of.<\/p>\n

I’m gonna ignore that dangling preposition, just like Biden ignores the irony of legal citizens getting banned from buying faux assault weapons while he provided real ones gratis to real terrorists.<\/p>\n

Continuing the Biden hit parade, the Biden administration has reversed a Trump decision to allow transport of liquid natural gas (LNG) on trains.<\/p>\n

In a federal filing Friday ahead of the holiday weekend, the Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) formally suspended the 2020 authorization of LNG transportation in rail tank cars. The rule will remain in effect until either a permanent rule regarding LNG rail tank car transportation is proposed and finalized \u2014 a process that may take several months \u2014 or June 30, 2025.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sure a good way to demand electrification – make it harder to transport the stuff many electric power plants actually run on.<\/p>\n

If only there were some other way to transport it….maybe in long tubes – we could call them “pipelines”!\u00a0 Oh, wait…<\/p>\n

And we’ll get off the organized crime administration, and move on to other organized crime. Remember “Cop City”? The police training center near Atlanta at which all those soulful human-rights activists motivated by purity, altruism, and a prayerful stance against the dreadful Po-po have been living in trees, vandalizing the work, and otherwise expressing their Purity of Bodily Essence? Seems after a bit of investigation the Georgia folks disagree a bit:<\/p>\n

Sixty-one people have been indicted in Georgia on racketeering charges following a long-running state investigation into protests against a planned police and firefighter training facility in the Atlanta area that critics call \u201cCop City.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the defendants: more than three dozen people already facing domestic terrorism charges in connection to violent protests; three leaders of a bail fund previously accused of money laundering; and three activists previously charged with felony intimidation after authorities said they distributed flyers calling a state trooper a \u201cmurderer\u201d for his involvement in the fatal shooting of a protester.<\/p>\n

In addition to the 61 racketeering indictments, five of the defendants were also indicted on domestic terrorism and first-degree arson charges. Three previously charged leaders of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, which has provided bail money and helped find attorneys for arrested protesters, were also each indicted on 15 counts of money laundering.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not holding my breath for the success of the indictments…after all, they and the state’s Attorney General are on opposite sides of the political fence.\u00a0 But the protesters have had more or less free rein there for almost two years…’bout time someone asked for accountability for vandalism, arson, throwing Molotov cocktails etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
