Watch Ted Cruz absolutely blister Antony Blinken

Secretary of State Antony Blinken testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week where he had to answer for a few things.

Namely, Afghanistan.

First up to bat, Sen. Ted Cruz - who wanted to know how many names of Americans still in Afghanistan were given to the Taliban.

"Did the State Department give the Taliban a list or multiple list of Americans and or Afghans that we wanted out?" Cruz demanded to know.

Cruz told Blinken point blank how much he and Joe Biden have failed America in how they chose to end the U.S.'s longest war.

Cruz then noted that Biden's Afghanistan botch was a Jimmy Carter-level failure. Actually, Biden's record is worse than Carter's already and he hasn't even been in office a year.

Cruz wasn't the only senator with questions for Blinken.

Sen. Rand Paul wanted to know why the Biden administration would leave billions in American weapons behind for the Taliban.

Good question!

Of course there were no good answers.

Then Paul lectured Blinken on the importance of actually knowing who someone is before the U.S. drone kills them.

Team Biden reportedly killed an aid worker and his family, believing they were instead ISIS-K.

Needless to say most of Blinken's responses were non-answers. Blinken said the Pentagon was still "reviewing" who the target was. Wow. Even the New York Times is ahead of Blinken on this.

But no one should expect any straight answers out of this administration. God help us.

School board member votes against 9/11 tribute

On the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks members of the Fairfax County School Board (Virginia) intended to honor first responders and the victims who died as a result of the terrorist attacks carried out that day.

However, far-Left school board member Abrar Omeish, who has already sparked outrage for anti-Semitic comments and encouraging high schoolers to remember 'jihad', voted against the resolution that called for a moment of silence, saying it was not 'anti-racist' and failed to address 'state-sponsored traumas.'

Omeish lives with her father Esam, who was a director of the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, and hired as its imam (prayer leader) Anwar al-Awlaki, who President Barack Obama later ordered killed by drone strike. That same mosque was also attended by two of the 9/11 hijackers as well as the shooter in the 2009 attack on Fort Hood, Texas.

Campaigner Asra Nomani - who is also Muslim - led the condemnation of Omeish.

Omeish, who is the sole Muslim member on the Virginia school board, is no stranger to controversy.

She recently called on graduating high school students to remember 'jihad' at their commencement and warned that they were entering a world of, 'racism, extreme versions of individualism, capitalism, and white supremacy.'

In English, she told them that: 'The world sees the accolade, the diploma, the fruit of all your years yet be reminded of the detail of your struggle.' When she repeated the speech in Arabic, she told students to remember their 'jihad' - a word meaning both 'struggle' and, specifically, holy war waged on behalf of Islam.

Omeish voted against the motion for the 9/11 moment of silence but it was ultimately passed thanks to votes from all other members of the board.
