Opinion | Biden's hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan is a terrible mistake. By BrettBruen.

economic growth. Importantly, it also preserved certain fundamental freedoms and rights. Why would we give all of that up? course on evacuating our local staff from Afghanistan, there are a lot of others who will be left behind. Most concerning are those who stood up for women's rights and girls' education during America's time in Afghanistan.

In taking this reckless action, Biden is telling extremists everywhere that the United States does not have the strength and stamina to sustain engagements against a stubborn adversary. They just have to fight hard enough and wait long enough. Ultimately, we will go home without having achieved our stated objectives.

America's abrupt abandonment of Afghanistan is a serious cause for concern for parents of young girls in Indonesia or a women's rights activist in Egypt. Even if there isn't a conflict in their country, the way America chose to leave Afghanistan will not go unnoticed.

America asked Afghan women and girls to be brave. The government loudly heralded the start of every new program that created a more equitable country. Unfortunately, we evidently lack the same kind of courage that was so often seen on the streets of Kabul and Kandahar. President Biden opted for the easy way out. It will now make achieving progress on the status of women worldwide much, much harder.

BrettBruen Poor planning, nothing in pkace to get the military's Afghan supporters out! This administration continues to show it’s incompetence!

BrettBruen We've been training the Afghan army for 20 years. How many more years do you think we should stay, 20 more? There comes a point where if YOU are the country's military, then you are an occupier.

BrettBruen Probably thinks they'll soon be needed at home to control the people when they decide they've enough of the BS. It's already started: FranceProtests Coming soon to a country near you. 👍

Pelosi rebuffs Schumer’s push to get Biden to cancel student debtNancy Pelosi rejected efforts by Chuck Schumer and other progressives to convince Biden to unilaterally cancel large amounts of student loan debt, exacerbating a growing rift in the Democratic party over the issue Good luck Democrats keeping your base🤬 Schumer and Pelosi are having the wrong conversation. Cancelling the debt is papering over the problem. We have too many people going to universities AND we have too many people majoring in something that basically guarantees that can't repay their loans. Oh, and banks suck. In this day and time, America should be supporting higher education at all costs. Lack of access to education due to lack of affordability has brought us MAGA and the anti-science group. Nancy got this one wrong.

Biden announces Covid-19 vaccine incentives, mandates for federal workersPresident Biden announced new Covid-19 vaccine incentives including encouraging states to use federal funds to award unvaccinated people $100 if they get the vaccine. He also announced new Covid-19 vaccine mandates for federal workers and contractors and urged other workplaces to follow suit. Baby steps. There's so much more you could do POTUS. Ask major corporations to require vaccinations for their employees and customers. Make it mandatory for the military. Ask governors to do their part. Good deal means if you are family of 3 kids will get $500 not bad At least he is trying to get through to the dumb people

The Latest: Biden sets guidelines for unvaccinated workersWASHINGTON — The Biden administration is announcing new requirements for federal workers and some contractors who do not attest to being fully vaccinated. President Joe Biden is set to declare that any unvaccinated federal workers are subject to universal masking, getting tested weekly or twice weekly, physical distancing from employees and visitors, and restrictions on official travel. This is what leadership looks like. Immoral at the very least. Hopefully illegal. The government continues to incentivize the wrong behaviors. Don’t rush to get vaccinated. Don’t rush to pay off your student debts. Don’t rush to get a job. Just wait until the government takes ownership of your own decisions and pays you for it! Treat everyone equally.
