The University of Kansas student body president has no plans to apologize for sharing a "Death to America" tweet. Death to the University of Kansas student body!
The student senate Twitter account and the @KUPresident account both retweeted a September 3 post that said "happy friday everybody. death to america" with a laughing emoji. She shared a different tweet after that that said "The more you read American history, the more the whole "Death to America" line sounds less like a terrifying, chaotic sentiment, and more like a perfectly rational, if anything remarkably reserved, statement." Ever read any source data, sweetie? Ever read contemporary journals and literature? Ever read anything but Howard Zinn and his many imitators?
The student senate did not respond to a September 8 request for comment. Did you really expect them to?
President Niya McAdoo told The College Fix that there will be a meeting next week about the social media posts. Good idea. Form a committee while you're at it.

Someone needs to electronically follow these people online and social media bomb them when they hit the job market. Won't stop lefty outfits from hiring them, but there are already a few high profile cases of cocky young radicals crying on their farcebork pages after they got caught out.

I had Irish forebearers, some of whom came to the U.S. during Ireland's potato famine. One of the women starved to death before she was able to get on a ship. Life was not easy for those who got here but at least opportunty and hope were offered. They were not a bunch of snowflakes.
[FoxNews] The FBI released a heavily redacted, 16-page declassified document Saturday night that sheds light on logistical support given to two Saudi hijackers before Sept. 11, 2001.
The document was released exactly 20 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and days after President Biden requested a declassification review from the FBI and other government agencies related to the tragedy.
The document summarizes an FBI interview conducted in 2015 with a Saudi man applying for U.S. citizenship who had frequent contact with other Saudi nationals in the U.S. who provided "significant logistical support" to the first hijackers arriving in the country.
Some of the 9/11 victims’ families have been hoping for years for documentation to help them in a potential lawsuit against the Saudi government, alleging it supported the hijackers. But while the document details the contacts the hijackers had with Saudi associates in the U.S., it doesn’t provide proof that senior Saudi government officials were complicit in the plot.
Saudia Arabia has consistently denied involvement in the attacks and the Saudi Embassy in Washington said it supports the full declassification of all records as a way to "end the baseless allegations against the Kingdom once and for all."
Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudis and Usama bin Laden was born in the country.
Despite an investigation of Saudi officials after 9/11, the 9/11 Commission report found "no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded" the hijackers. Money could have been funneled to al Qaeda through Saudi-linked charities, the 2004 report concluded.

If I recall the CIA captured someone in Pakistan and convinced them that he was sent to a Mid-east prison. When given the opportunity to call someone he called a Saudi Prince.

So, 20 years to 'adjust' documents, make sure paper trails don't lead anywhere, and have weekly choir practice (make sure they all sing the same song the same way).
Move along, nothing to see.

[KhaamaPress] Head of Hezb-e-Islami Gulbadin Hekmatyar said that the interim cabinet of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is the most ideal one he has seen in the past five decades in Afghanistan as it does not include dual passport holders. Hek throws em a bone. As usual, he misses
Though he himself is not part of the cabinet, he has praised the cabinet as it is free of seculars and what he called agents of other countries.
Gulbadin Hekmatyar said that the announcement of the interim cabinet was an urgent requirement since there was a complete political vacuum.
He also suggested the Taliban ...Arabic for students... be cautious in reopening those embassies that were part of the 20 years’ war and killed over one million people in Afghanistan.
The Head of Afghanistan’s largest political party also accused the defense minister of the previous government Bismullah Muhammadi of stealing 17 helicopters and other military equipment.
He said that Muhammadi was appointed as defense minister before the US’s full withdrawal and he stole hundreds of Humvees, rangers, artilleries, and other military equipment to fight the Taliban.
On the cabinet, Hekmatyar said that it includes those who have been in Bagram and Guantanamo and have fought NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... He said that the Taliban has said the cabinet to be flexible and added that they have to be given time.
[ToloNews] The 9/11 attacks that triggered the war on terror brought US and NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... soldiers to Afghanistan and started the 20-year war in Afghanistan, which took thousands of lives of foreign soldiers, Afghan forces, Taliban ...Arabic for students... forces and civilians.
According to a report by the AP, over 150,000 lives, including foreign troops, the Afghan cops, Taliban forces and civilians have been lost.
The report highlights that 3,592 foreign soldiers, including 2,448 US and 1,144 NATO soldiers, were killed in the last 20 years. Also, 3,846 US contractors were killed.
The report also says that 66,000 Afghan soldiers, 51,191 Taliban fighters and 47,245 non-combatants were killed during the war in the country.
Additionally, 444 aid workers and 72 journalists were also among those killed, AP reported.
Reporters Without Borders told TOLOnews that nearly 100 journalists, including 16 foreign news hounds, bit the dust in Afghanistan since 2001.
"In the past 20 years, we saw heavy casualties and even the 'Mother of All Bombs' was used in Afghanistan. Suicide attacks also had casualties. The Afghans were killed on both sides," said Sayed Ishaq Gailani, head of the National Solidarity Movement of Afghanistan.
Although the Taliban government was ousted in 2001, the war did not end. The Taliban become the opposition group and continued fighting the new government formed at the Bonn Conference. The war continued for 20 years.
"The Americans bombed weddings, funerals, meetings, mosques, villages and different places. During the war, Taliban were killed, non-combatants were killed, Afghan army members and babus government employees were killed and also Americans were killed," said Sayed Akbar Agha, head of Shura-e-Aali Rah-e-Nejat.
The war, in addition to taking thousands of lives, also destroyed infrastructure and caused massive economic costs.
"The American soldiers and others came here and some were killed in this 20-year war and the rest went back. The biggest damage was sustained by the Afghan army, civilians and the Taliban and they are all Afghans. They were all brothers, but it was a conspiracy of the United States and United Kingdom, who created the disagreement among them," said Mohammad Akbar Niazai, a Kabul resident.
"The Afghans sustained extensive damage. If the government forces were killed or the Taliban, they all were Afghans," said Mohammad Haroon, a Kabul resident.
The 20-year war ended in August after the US and NATO soldiers pulled out of Afghanistan and the Taliban retook power.

[IsraelTimes] Pentagon acknowledges ’redeployment of certain air defense assets’ but insists America maintains ’broad and deep’ commitment to its Mideast allies.
The US has removed its most advanced missile defense system and Patriot batteries from Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... in recent weeks, even as the kingdom faced continued air attacks from Yemen

So the improvement of relations between the KSA and Israel a couple of years ago could be rather helpful?
[TASS] Tens of thousands of Islamic State militants (IS, outlawed in Russia) are located in Afghanistan, including the provinces on the border with Central Asian countries, according to intelligence, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said in an op-ed published by the Gazeta.Ru news website on Saturday.
"According to the intelligence services, now the region numbers tens of thousands of the IS militants and their followers, with the significant part of them concentrated in the northern and eastern provinces bordering the Central Asian countries. The leadership of the Islamic State openly announced plans to spread its influence to the entire region," the article dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks said.
According to Medvedev, the US during its almost 20-year-long operation in Afghanistan "could not offer anything against the Islamic State militants who massively relocated from Syria to Afghanistan." "The US pulling out of Afghanistan is only heating the activity of the terrorist organization which remains an enormous threat to Asia, Africa, Middle East and Europe," he thinks.
Medvedev pointed out that the Americans did not attain the main goal which was expressed by the country’s then-President George Bush after the September 11 attacks - the victory over terrorism in Afghanistan. "Due to many US’ miscalculations, including in the Middle Eastern policy, the terrorists continue to operate in the country’s territory," he thinks.
He also named drug production among unresolved problems in Afghanistan. Medvedev noted that Afghanistan’s drug industry reached peak production figures during the presence of US and its NATO allies in the country. According to data cited, over the past 20 years the volume of the illegal production of opiates increased from 17 to 40 times compared to the 2001 level. The share of Afghanistan in the global production of these drugs makes up about 85%.
"All these examples once again confirm the idea that it is impossible to create a democratic miracle from the outside while simultaneously ridding the world of terrorism and drugs. Washington hasn’t managed to stabilize the situation in a poor country tortured by wars, transform it into a modern state," he concluded.

I look forward to Russia and China having to spend blood and treasure trying to stop these fanatics. I can't see them backing off. Islam says gambling with cash is a sin. Staking your life to subjugate the infidel, however, is a commandment, the reward for which, upon death, is an eternity in paradise. Both the Taliban and the foreign Islamist warriors they shelter are degenerate gamblers. We've not heard the last of them outside their borders.

[KavkazUzel] Kidnapping of people in Russian cities for the purpose of their further export to Dagestan has become a fairly common practice in recent years. "Recruiters" are looking for potential employees at train stations in Moscow, Saratov and other large cities. Most often, the victims of slave traders are people from the provinces who come to large cities to work. In addition to Dagestan slavery, it is worth remembering that in the 1990s, there was a practice of kidnapping people in Chechnya for the purpose of ransom. The abducted were then also used as forced laborers. If you look into the more distant past, you can see that the use of slave labor was a typical phenomenon in the history of the Caucasus.

It’s been a while since we had a Sunday morning coffee pot. How exciting!
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The operational headquarters decided to cancel the counter-terrorist operation in the Buinaksky district of Dagestan, where two militants were killed.
The "Caucasian Knot" previously reported that on the morning of September 10, a counterterrorist operation (CTO) regime was introduced in the Buinaksk region.
The special operation took place in the forest near the village of Talgi, where a lot of military men appeared in the village itself, local residents said. The National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) has reported the killing of two militants by security forces who opened fire in response to a demand to surrender.
According to sources, those killed in a special operation in the Buinaksky district of Dagestan were identified as Uruj Ramazanov and Eiruz Abdulaev.
The counter-terrorist operation in the Buinaksk region has been lifted, with reference to the republic's FSB department reported to RIA Novosti.
"The head of the FSB of Russia for the Republic of Dagestan, the head of the operational headquarters in the republic, made a decision to lift the counter-terrorist operation from 1745 hrs in certain areas in the Buinaksk region of the republic," he was quoted by TASS agency as saying.
The official version of the reasons for the CTO raised doubts among Instagram users, who indicated that the state of the items shown in the video about the special operation, which, according to the security officials, belonged to the killed militants, does not correspond to the conditions in the forest.
The special operation in the Buinaksky region became the second in Dagestan since the beginning of the year. Previously, CTO was held on March 11 in Makhachkala.
[DW] Afghan refugees in Greece are increasingly worried about their status. The EU's differing and uncertain asylum policies are making it even harder for them to cope.

[From the blog No Pasarán] 9-11 Remembered by a Young Frenchman
I also and especially remember September 12, 2001, when all my colleagues mocked me during the coffee break, laughing at my dismay, shouting at the "arrogance" of the Yankees and the "imperialism" of their leader Bush. What is worse is that ... at the time I was not working in an artistic or intellectual environment which is traditionally anti-capitalist, therefore anti-American. No, I was working in a Parisian police department.
Read the whole thing and remember.

[ONEINDIA] Pakistan on Friday categorically denied links to the Taliban and rejected media reports that it had helped the group take control of the Panjshir Valley.
While Islamabad denies any meddling in the affairs of Afghanistan, a year ago, much before the Taliban had taken control over the country, Twitter was abuzz with details of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar's passport.
Baradar who is today number two in the Afghanistan government holds a Pakistan passport. He holds a Pakistani passport with different identification details. The passport which was circulated on Twitter identifies Baradar as Muhammad Arif and a Pakistani national.
Aurang Khan Zalmay, a Twitter user pointed out in 2020 that Baradar, head of the Taliban's political office in Qatar holds Pakistani nationality and travels with a Pakistani passport on the condition of anonymity.
The government of Pakistan has issued Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar an identity card (NIC) and a passport by an alias of Muhammad Arif Agha S/O Syed Muhammad Nazeer Agha, Zalmay also pointed out.
Baradar along with Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai was heading the negotiations at Doha. He used to reside in Quetta, Pakistan and was provided heavy security by Pakistan.
[Ynet] Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi became the first foreign leader on Sunday to visit and meet with Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi since the hardliner took office in August.
"I hope despite the aims of the enemies of the two countries, we will witness expansion of good relations between Iran and Iraq," Raisi said in a joint news conference in Tehran.
Raisi said Iraq had agreed to waive visas for Iranian pilgrims to Shi'ite holy sites in Iraq later this month on the occasion of Arbaeen marking the end of the 40-day mourning period for Imam Hussein, Prophet Mohammed's grandson.
"Decisions were also made about the two countries' financial issues that should be adopted," Raisi said, without elaborating.
