'They will be the FIRST to die': Oklahoma mom who rescued Afghan girls, now helping SAVE over 200 female Afghan judges



Allyson Reneau is a mother from Oklahoma who has already helped save 10 members of an all-girl robotics team from Afghanistan. But now, more and more desperate women are asking for her help.

Allyson joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to detail what it took to help the girls robotics team escape. And she also explained her next goal: To help evacuate more than 200 female judges who fear that the Taliban who they sentenced to jail are coming for them first.

"Because of the media coverage I've had over the last few days, the cries for help from within Afghanistan, from women who are in hiding, professional women, who have been fired, who are being hunted, who are being tortured. [There were] reports last night of two killed and shot. And these are professional, educated women. Some beaten to death. Some blinded," Allyson told Glenn.

"I was back at ground zero again," she added. "What worked for the girls I helped was not going to work for these people that were in hiding. I said, 'Send me the list. I'm not going to leave one behind.' And I thought there would be 20 people. It was 212 women Afghan judges in hiding, Supreme Court [judges]. And I asked my commander friends on the ground, that are helping me, and they said, 'Yes. They will be the first to die.' The first to die, because they have imprisoned men. They have imprisoned people who were beating their wives. And all those prisoners have been released. These women are being hunted, and it was 212 women."

Glenn offered to assist through the Nazarene Fund's ongoing rescue efforts in Afghanistan. (Read the latest updates on the Nazarene fund's rescue operation here.)

"We're Americans, and we figure it out, don't we, Glenn?" replied an emotional Allyson. "And I just want to say, Mr. President, if you can hear this message, we need more time. We need more time. Please give us more time!"

President Biden has said the U.S. will be able complete its evacuation in Afghanistan by Aug. 31.

Afghani whose remains were discovered in US plane's landing gear identified as 19-year-old former national soccer player: Report



The Afghani stowaway whose remains were discovered in the landing gear of a U.S. Air Force C-17 has been identified as former national soccer player, Zaki Anwari, according to reports.

Anwari, just 19 years old, was reportedly trying to flee Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and attempted to leave the country while clinging to the aircraft's landing gear.

What are the details?

The New York Post on Thursday reported that the remains of Anwari, a former player for Afghanistan's national youth soccer team, were discovered in the C-17's landing gear bay after an emergency landing in Qatar.

Journalist Babak Taghvaee tweeted about Anwari's death, citing, "The Afghan refugees who were riding on the landing gear bays of the #USAF's C-17A transport aircraft to flee from #Kabul, #Afghanistan filmed the moments before their death. Very sad to hear that one of the youths who tried to leave #Kabul through grabbing the landing gear bay of a #USAF's C-17A transport airplane few days ago was a player of #Afghanistan's National youth soccer team, Zaki Anvari. His body parts were found in the landing gear bay."

The outlet reported that Anwari's final Facebook post said, "You're the painter of your live [sic]. Don't give the brush to anyone else."

The country's national soccer team also acknowledged Anwari's death in a Facebook update, the Post reported.

A Facebook translation of the post said, "The player of Afghanistan's national junior team among the victims of the crash from the US military plane! It is said that Zaki Anwari is one of the players of the national youth team of the country among the victims of the crash from the US military airplane. Two days before and after the capture of Kabul by the Taliban, to go to America and find a better future, he rode on the cycles of the American airplane with several other compatriots who fell to the ground while flying with several other compatriots. They did and were martyred. May his soul rest in peace and his memory be remembered."

Shot, stabbed Afghan woman whose eyes were knifed out by Taliban says they 'torture us,' feed remains to dogs



An Afghani woman by the name of Khatera says that the Taliban will not respect or honor women's rights despite the terrorist group's assertions otherwise.

What are the details?

In a Monday interview with India's News18, Khatera, 33, recalled the horrific attack that took place in 2020 when her father — a former Taliban fighter — tipped off the Islamist militant group that his daughter was employed.

Women, under Sharia law, are not permitted to work.

In October, Khatera said that her father, who remains unnamed at the time of this reporting, purportedly conspired with the Taliban to stage an attack on her as she returned home from work one day.

During the attack, Khatera — who worked for the police at the time — was shot at least eight times, stabbed, and had her eyes knifed out of their sockets before Taliban fighters left her for dead.

— Rohini Chatterji (@RohiniChatterji) 1629104770.0

She was pregnant during the horrific attack.

"It's tough for the world to imagine what we built in the past 20 years," she told the outlet. "We built dreams. Now they are gone. It's all over for us. Women who work with the government or police were being hunted and threatened even before the Taliban had taken over the country. Now, the concern has gone beyond letting women work. At this point, I am scared if they would leave these women alive. They don't just kill women — they make animals feed on their bodies. They are a blot on Islam."

Khatera said that the Taliban does not view women as "living, breathing human beings," but "merely some meat and flesh to be battered."

"[The Taliban] first torture us and then discard our bodies to show as a specimen of punishment," she said. "Sometimes our bodies are fed to dogs. I was lucky I survived it. One has to live in Afghanistan under the Taliban to even imagine what hell has befallen on women, children, and minorities here."

After the attack, Khatera fled with her husband and child to Delhi, where she continues to be treated for injuries sustained in the attack.

"The Taliban don't allow women to visit male doctors, and at the same time, don't let women study and work," she told the outlet. "So then what is left for a woman? Left to die? Even if you think we are just reproductive machines, there is not common sense but pure hate. How does a woman deliver her child according to the dictum of these men with guns without medical care?"

Taliban kill woman for not wearing burqa on very day they vow to honor women's rights: Report



The Taliban reportedly killed a woman for not wearing a burqa on the same day the terrorist organization promised to honor women's rights, according to a report from the New York Post.

What are the details?

The Post said that Taliban fighters shot and killed a woman Tuesday despite vowing to respect and honor women's rights.

Fox News reported that a grisly photo of a woman lying in a pool of blood emerged from Takhar province.

In the photo, people identified as the woman's loved ones can be seen crouched around the woman after she was reportedly gunned down by insurgents for not wearing a head covering while in public.

According to a Wednesday report from the U.K. Mirror, the woman was reportedly "executed by a rampaging death squad in [Taloqan]."

The New York Post reported that Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid announced that the insurgent group would "honor women's rights" and urged women to return to school and work while handing out headscarves.

A former Afghani contractor with the U.S. State Department told Fox News that Taliban fighters were attacking Afghans who were trying to flee from Taliban rule.

“There was kids, women, babies, old women, they could barely walk," the unnamed former contractor told Fox News. “They [are in a] very, very bad situation, I'm telling you. At the end, I was thinking that there was like 10,000 or more than 10,000 people, and they're running into the airport. ... The Taliban [were] beating people and the people were jumping from the fence, the concertina wire, and also the wall."

Fox News reported that the contractor said the militants were "going through neighborhoods in search of people who'd helped the U.S. and that Taliban fighters had questioned his neighbors about him."

There are other reports that the Taliban fired shots at protesters across Afghanistan over the last several days, and noted that members of the Taliban were also said to have beaten journalists in the unfolding chaos.

Stephen Colbert likens Taliban militants who took over Kabul to Jan. 6 Capitol rioters — and critics eat him alive



Late-night TV host Stephen Colbert on Monday noted the disastrous Taliban takeover of Kabul and all other major Afghanistan cities following the rapid exit of U.S. troops from the Middle Eastern nation under the leadership of President Joe Biden.

But one part of Colbert's monologue, not surprisingly, took the focus off the horrific practices of radical Islam and ridiculed his political enemies here in the U.S.

What did he say?

"We've had troops there for 20 years. They fought. They sacrificed. Their families sacrificed, so we wouldn't have a terrorist attack in America planned in a foreign country," he said before turning the observation to a perverted perspective.

"Why should our soldiers be fighting radicals in a civil war in Afghanistan? We've got our own on Capitol Hill." And as Colbert recited his lines, an image of the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters flashed on the screen to enthusiastic applause.

— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) 1629190124.0

How did folks react?

One might go so far as to say Colbert suggested that U.S. soldiers ought to be fighting the likes of the Jan. 6 rioters — but for a number of Twitter users, his comparison of the Capitol rioters to the Taliban was bad enough:

  • "Hilarious. Everyone who thinks they were in a war [on Jan. 6] should give up their health insurance and get on the VA plan and see how it goes from there," one commenter wrote. "If we are making comparisons, what about BLM & Antifa? They don't count though do they?"
  • "He's comparing a one-time act of 1,000 people doing less property damage than the tens of thousands in BLM riots to the Islamic extremists who stone gay people & women who have sex before marriage who just stormed back into power," another user said.
  • "He just called for our troops to fight U.S. citizens," another commenter noted.
  • "Here we go! Libs can't talk about Afghanistan b/c it's so damning against Dementia Joe. Instead they change the subject to Jan 6th," another user observed. "Reminds me of Chris Rock circa 2002: 'I ain't afraid of al-Qaeda, I'm afraid of Al Crack[a],' minimizing Islamic terror & stressing white supremacy."
  • "Y'all agreeing with Colbert, call me when viking hat man stones women to death for the 'crime of being raped' like the Taliban does," another commenter said. "F*** all of you; you are completely deranged."
  • "Lefties can't [see] anything that doesn't confirm their biases," another user wrote. "This propagandist wants to compare unarmed Trump supporters protesting @ the [Capitol] to an actual armed overthrow of a government. Mental gymnastics champion. Love how the 2020 riots are just ignored like [they] never happened."

Video shows body of desperate Afghan who died clinging to landing gears of US military plane, trying to flee Taliban: report



Authorities discovered human remains inside the wheel well of a C-17 military plane fleeing Taliban-controlled Afghanistan on Monday, the Washington Post and the New York Post reported.

Desperate Afghani people swarmed departing planes earlier in the day in a bid to escape the country as the Taliban took over Afghanistan's capital city, Kabul.

What are the details?

Video footage obtained by the New York Post reportedly shows an Afghan's lifeless body flapping in the air as the C-17 transport plane speeds through the sky.

The landing gear on the plane, which took off from Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport on Monday, was rendered temporarily inoperable due to the presence of the body. Pilots were reportedly forced to make an emergency landing in a nearby country because they were unable to retract the plane's landing gear, both outlets reported and explained that the person was believed to have climbed onto the plane's landing gear in an attempt to stow away on the aircraft.

Olympian and veteran Eli Bremer tweeted about the grisly finding, writing, "This is what failed foreign policy looks like. I was just sent this from an Air Force pilot. Policy mistakes matter. Biden continues his streak of being on the wrong side of virtually every US foreign policy decision."

(Content warning: disturbing photo):

What else?

The new video joins the ranks of other horrifying footage of desperate, panicked Afghanis that was captured on Sunday and Monday after the Taliban's forceful takeover. One such video captured bodies falling from the exterior of a U.S. military aircraft during a hasty departure from the Kabul airport.

On Monday, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said that the Defense Department has temporarily frozen military and civilian flights in an attempt to clear the airfield. But Kirby said late Monday that the U.S. had resumed flights out after taking control of Kabul's airport. The U.S. had sent more troops to help secure the airport so that American citizens, embassy staff, and Afghans can leave the country.

President Joe Biden on Monday addressed the nation on the Taliban's seizure control following a weekend of silence. In his remarks, the president declared "the buck stops with me" while placing nearly all of the blame for the rapid decline of circumstances on former President Donald Trump.

Former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink posts gut-check message to all of us as Taliban rolls through Afghanistan: 'When there is no will to fight, evil will win'



Former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink is a certified American badass.

Whether it was his multiple deployments throughout the world, his leadership in the battle of Ramadi, or even now his daily 4 a.m. workouts to "get a jump on the enemy," Willink knows exactly what it takes to defeat evil.

Evil, in fact, that we're seeing right now as the Taliban once again takes over Afghanistan.

But never fear. Willink — who's become a sought-after motivational speaker since leaving the U.S. military — has some words for us to ponder in the face of this catastrophe.

Except don't think for a minute it's a message underscoring that "everything will be OK."

What did he say?

No. Willink on Monday instead declared on Facebook that we're all responsible for defeating evil. And that it will take blood and sacrifice.

The biggest gut-check of all, he writes, is that if we're not willing to stand up and fight, evil will win:

There is evil in the world.
If given the opportunity, it will grow in strength and power.
The only thing that can stop evil is people willing to stand and fight and sacrifice to destroy it.
When there is no will to fight, evil will win.
Innocent people will suffer.
Darkness will expand.
But there are people who do have the will to fight.
They will never surrender to the tyranny of evil.
I served with many of these men and women.
The battle is fraught with blood and tears.
Failure and defeat.
Anguish and loss.
But the good and brave souls will hold the line and, in the end:
Righteousness will prevail.
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.

How did folks respond?

Willlink's post has picked up some steam, and a number of his readers were inspired and quickened by his words:

  • "90% of people won't do anything unless it shows up on their personal doorstep. Even then, people want someone else to take the risk," one commenter wrote. "Until we all see our nation as our doorstep and step up and unite, evil will win."
  • "This makes me sick to my stomach. But evil is out there, and we must face it and deal with it. Every day. Every moment. Through unmitigated self discipline. Through true freedom," another commenter added. "And yes, freedom is not free."
  • "What can you do if the population of the country is not willing to fight for their own freedom?" another commenter wondered. "We may find out at home in the not to distant future."

Here's a look back at Willink's interview with Glenn Beck, founder of TheBlaze. The whole clip is worth watching, but the segment below focuses on Willink's experience fighting evil:

White House press secretary Jen Psaki 'out of the office' this week as Afghanistan falls and President Biden vacations



White House press secretary Jen Psaki is "out of the office" this week while President Joe Biden vacations at Camp David — all while Afghanistan rapidly falls to the Taliban in a stunning takeover, Fox News reported.

What are the details?

The cable network said it sent questions to Psaki's White House email address Sunday morning and then tried to reach her once again Sunday evening — and each time received the same auto-reply: Psaki wouldn't be available this week.

"I will be out of the office from August 15th-August 22nd," Fox News said the auto-reply read. Others received the same auto-reply:

— Techno Fog (@Techno_Fog) 1629080272.0

Although Biden is on a scheduled vacation, Republicans ripped his absence amid a colossal disaster in a country that was the primary focal point following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in the United States — a month shy of 20 years ago.

"Joe Biden has been commander-in-chief for seven months — the current failure in Afghanistan falls squarely on his shoulders," Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said. "His lack of leadership during this pivotal moment has been shameful — it has only served to embolden our adversaries and let down our allies."

Indeed, Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani fled to Tajikistan, the presidential palace in Kabul on Sunday was "handed over" to the Taliban, and U.S. diplomatic members were forced to evacuate the U.S. Embassy in Kabul on helicopters — a scene that drew comparisons to the fall of Saigon at the end of the Vietnam war.

In addition, Biden reportedly "overruled" top U.S. military commanders when he authorized the full withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan. Vice President Kamala Harris also played a "key role" in Biden's decision.

What did folks have to say about Psaki?

Psaki's absence only added fuel to criticism of the Biden administration's handling of the crisis:

Anything else?

Biden issued a Saturday statement placing blame on former President Donald Trump for the Afghanistan debacle — after which Trump blasted Biden, saying the current commander-in-chief "gets it wrong every time on foreign policy."

It's also been reported that Biden will address the American people on the Afghanistan situation in the "next few days."

Mike Pompeo savages Biden after Biden administration tries to blame Trump for Afghanistan failure



Mike Pompeo, former CIA director and Trump secretary of state, blasted President Joe Biden on Sunday after the Biden administration attempted to blame former President Donald Trump's administration for the melee unfolding in Afghanistan.

What are the details?

During a "Fox News Sunday" interview with Chris Wallace, Pompeo said that Biden had no other move but to blame the former administration for its mistakes.

Wallace asked, "How dire is the situation in Afghanistan as we talk today? Is a full Taliban takeover of the country now inevitable?"

Pompeo responded, "Well, Chris, it certainly looks like it. It looks like the Biden administration has just failed in its execution of its own plan. This reminds me of when we have seen previous administrations allow embassies to be overrun. It's starting to feel that way. It also looks like there's a bit of panic having to reinsert soldiers to get them out. The plan should have been, much like we had, was that we would have an orderly conditions-based way to think about how to draw down our forces there.

“Were I still the secretary of state with a commander in chief like President Trump, the Taliban would have understood that there were real costs to pay if there were plots against the United States of America from that place," Pompeo added. “Qassem Soleimani learned that lesson, and the Taliban would have learned it as well."

Pompeo added that Biden was only trying to deflect blame onto Trump.

“If the risks weren't so serious, Chris, it would be pathetic," Pompeo added. “I wouldn't have let my 10-year old son get away from this kind of pathetic blame-shifting. He should be less focused on trying to blame this on someone else than to solving the problem of making sure that we protect and defend American security. Chris, it's worth noting this did not happen on our watch. We reduced our forces significantly and the Taliban didn't advance on capitals all across Afghanistan. So it's just a plain old fact that this is happening under the Biden administration's leadership now almost a quarter of our way into his first term, this is not the way leaders lead, by pointing backwards."

He continued, "We had a bad deal we inherited — the JCPOA [Iran nuclear deal]; we got out of it. We secured America from the risk from Iran. We inherited a horrible deal in Syria where ISIS controlled real estate the size of Great Britain. We crushed them. Every president confronts challenges. This president confronted a challenge in Afghanistan. He has utterly failed to protect the American people from this challenge."

China state media reportedly mocks Taliban's takeover as 'more smooth' than US presidential transition



Chinese state media reportedly mocked the United States' withdrawal in Afghanistan and said that the Taliban's takeover in the country was "more smooth" than this year's presidential transfer of powers.

According to a Monday report from Insider, Hu Xijin, editor of the country's Global Times, also compared the Capitol riot to the Taliban's takeover.

What are the details?

The editor on Sunday took to Twitter, where he compared the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan to the Trump-Biden presidential transition that took place earlier this year following the 2020 presidential election.

The outlet's Cheryl Teh reported, "Hu was referencing posts made on Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter. People made posts saying that the Taliban takeover was 'peaceful' compared to the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6 when a pro-Trump mob swarmed the Capitol, sieged the building, smashed and damaged property, and forced lawmakers into lockdown."

Hu tweeted, "Chinese netizens joked that the power transition in Afghanistan is even more smooth than presidential transition in the US."

What else?

His remarks came after the Taliban commanded its militants to enter Kabul late Sunday.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Taliban said, "Now there are reports that districts in Kabul have been evacuated, police have left their job of providing security, ministries have been evacuated, and security personnel from the Kabul administration have fled."

Amid the crisis, the U.S. Embassy warned Americans to shelter in place and stay away from Kabul's airport.

On Sunday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that American diplomats were being transported to the airport to "ensure they can operate safely and securely."

He also defended the Biden administration's decision to withdraw troops from the country.

"We went to Afghanistan 20 years ago with one mission, and that mission was to deal with the folks who attacked us on 9/11 — and we have succeeded in that mission," he added.
