I'm sure Kabul will fall within a month or even sooner.😢
So that the deaths of 80* countries' soldiers wouldn't be in vain, I wanted the coalition to stay there longer. But then July 2021 ravaged the US w/ Delta.
The US needs it's people (& money) on the home front. Period.

*OK I see now it was >40 countries officially involved. I always thought it was more like 80, but I've made a mistake somewhere along the line. 20 years is a long time to follow the events of a war, right?
Anyway, it was a lot. Not just the USA. Even New Zealand helped...

I don't want the sacrifices of the other countries to be forgotten.
10 of my fellow Kiwis lost their lives serving in Afghanistan. There were a few more who fought for the UK but were NZ-born.

Today is #InaugurationDay. The peaceful transfer of power is an important part of our constitutional republic.
Equally important is holding power accountable. In that spirit, we want to highlight a number of @JoeBiden cabinet picks that are problematic for liberty (THREAD)

1. Janet Yellen
Biden has nominated Yellen to be treasury secretary.
Not only does she hold one of the worst records in history as chair of the Federal Reserve, now she wants to "curtail" cryptocurrency and continue record deficits.

2. Lloyd Austin
Biden's pick for Defense Secretary brings with him a history of leading wars in the Middle East, something America desperately needs to get away from.
He also has a BIG conflict of interest as a member of the Raytheon board. #BringTheTroopsHome
