Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast issued the following statement after the House voted in favor of a bill sponsored by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) to ensure no more U.S. tax dollars fall into the hands of the Taliban after the Biden administration paid the terrorist regime millions of dollars following the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. "This bill makes sure not a single penny of American taxpayer money ends up in the hands of the Taliban"not directly, not through back doors, and not via weak-willed foreign governments or shady NGOs," Chairman Mast said. "If you're funding the Taliban, you're no friend of the United States." This issue has been a key focus for House Republicans since last Congress when lawmakers were made aware that weekly cash shipments of nearly $40 million were being sent to Afghanistan's Taliban-controlled Central Bank.

We're told Pride is about 'inclusion,' but increasingly it feels like a middle finger to anyone who doesn't co-sign every fringe performance or ideology. If you so much as raise an eyebrow at what's happening on your city's main street, you're labeled a bigot, even if you're gay yourself. You don't have to be a conservative Christian mom to think that maybe the Pride movement has lost the plot. What's worse, Pride has become corporatized to hell. Every June, major brands roll out rainbow flags like seasonal decor. You can't walk through a Target without being bombarded by LGBTQ-themed merch " not just for adults, but now for toddlers and babies, too. Meanwhile, some of these same companies have no problem doing business in countries where homosexuality is punishable by death. It's not activism. It's marketing " and it's insulting.
Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) revealed that days before January 6, 2021, President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders urging them to do their jobs to protect lives and property.

Israeli authorities screened footage of Hamas's October 7 atrocities to Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and other pro-Palestinian flotilla participants upon their arrival in Ashdod on Monday, shortly after the IDF intercepted their ship, the Madleen, in international waters. According to Defense Minister Israel Katz, the activists refused to continue watching the film after seeing the brutality of the attacks. "These antisemitic flotilla activists closed their eyes to the truth and once again proved they prefer the murderers over the victims," Katz said. "They continue to ignore the atrocities committed by Hamas against Jewish and Israeli women, the elderly, and children."
