President Joe Biden came under fire on Sunday after he was caught checking his watch during the dignified transfer of fallen U.S. service members killed in a terror attack at the Kabul airport last week.

But according to two Gold Star fathers, the president looked at his watch more than one time.

Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Darin Hoover, father of slain Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, claimed the commander in chief looked at his watch 13 times. Read Full Story

Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan demanded records and a briefing from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Thursday over the agency’s proposed use of third-party firms to spy on Americans.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday DHS plans to contract with private companies for monitoring citizen activity on social media after intelligence failed to properly prepare law enforcement for the violence that ensued at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

What was in question and what deserved to be addressed Monday was not whether America should withdraw her troops after 20 years of nation-building. The topic on the table was the disastrous way he executed the withdrawal. 

Biden’s policy and his defensive, stubborn demeanor defending the policy showed zero empathy for the American families who sacrificed over the past 20 years to support the policy he advocated for, voted for, propped up, and now has sabotaged in its final days. 

In claiming the buck stopped with him, Biden proceeded to pass the buck to multiple entities, including his predecessor. Read Full Story
