Let’s Be Honest: There WAS Major Miscalculation on Afghanistan. By the Keyboard Commando Mainstream Press.

Since the beginning of the withdrawal of American troops under President Biden, and especially since the fall of Kabul to the swiftly advancing Taliban little more than a week ago, the media backlash to the exit and to President Biden has been swift, unforgiving, and relentless. The wide swath of beltway critics and "chief foreign correspondents" - most of whom cut their teeth in the field by cheerleading the Bush administration's military misadventures presented as 'shock and awe' action theater - has been loudly protesting President Biden for finally being the president with the courage to end a forever war, America's longest no less. Sure, they couch their drumbeat of neocon talking points in the pretense that they are merely criticizing the "logistics" of the withdrawal, not the policy, but that argument is as phony as a three-dollar bill. There are several tells that expose the media's disingenuousness. The beltway press's coverage has

Guest column: A look at what went wrong in Minneapolis as trial begins for Derek Chauvin

Editor's note: This guest column was submitted by Andres Boland . Andres, a former writer for RTF's previous iteration, The People's View, is a Minnesota native and excels in issues of national importance with a local focus. Today, former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin and his three accomplices go on trial for murdering George Floyd. Truth be told, I am not confident that Chauvin and his accomplices will face justice. The last time that a cop was tried for killing a black man unjustly, Jeronimo Yanez killing Philando Castille, he was found not guilty . 60-40 in Chauvin’s favor. But in the immediate aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Everyone who was responsible for ensuring Minneapolis did not burn at the local level failed. It's only a question of how badly. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey The bulk of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s mistakes were made immediately after George Floyd’s murder. He should have gone out

The Far Left Grasps at Bigoted, False, Dumb Straws to Cope with Nina Turner's Loss

The brogressive left can't take it. Their most high profile candidate since Bernie Sanders lost a race they had every expectation and early advantage to win, and they are grasping at every possible straw to avoid the inevitable conclusion: the left's ideological dogmatism and confrontational approach against Democrats isn't sitting well with Democratic voters in high-turnout elections. The Turner campaign had expected to win the race - which had tightened after Turner being up by a whopping 35 points margin in June - because even under their own insider estimates, they had expected a voter turnout of around 40,000. Instead, over 75,000 people turned out in the Democratic primary, and now-nominee Shontel Brown beat Turner by a 6-point margin . Since the wild upset, the alt-left has been searching for explanations. That is not to say that they have been searching for the truth. Rather, they have been searching for a narrative that they can settle on that will not offend the c

Katie Porter, not Maxine Waters, is the reason Katie Porter is not on the House Financial Services Committee

Credit: Rep. Katie Porter official Congressional site. Rep. Katie Porter has gained quite the notoriety and fan base from her sharp questioning of bankers and financial industry bigwigs during hearings of the House Financial Services Committee in the last two years. But she will not be returning to the high profile committee assignment in this Congress. And that has the Peacock Left up in arms. The Democratic "establishment" conspired against Porter to deny her return to the Committee, they charge, because she makes big banks uncomfortable. Specifically, they say Maxine Waters, the progressive giant and Chair of the powerful committee, forced Porter out. In a column published in The Prospect - the left's version of Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller - David Dayen trains his mark squarely at Waters , accusing Waters, the first Black woman to chair the panel and one of the first members of Congress to call for Donald Trump's impeachment. Dayen's argument is made in b

There is no such thing as "democratic" socialism. There never has been.

"I'm a democratic socialist," Bernie Sanders tends to correct anyone who refers to him as just a socialist. The idea behind it is that 'democratic' socialists are different from authoritarian socialist and communist regimes and that democratic socialists are predominantly interested in a welfare state with lots of taxes to fund lots of public benefits. Indeed, through his two campaigns for president, every chance he got, Bernie Sanders would talk about being elected through a "political revolution" that would entail voter turnout so massive that the country would be forced to radically change in the blink of an eye. Fantastical as that notion always was - and as much as in practical terms, the higher turnout a state saw, the more likely Bernie Sanders was to lose that state in the Democratic presidential primary - it at least had an aura of democratic legitimacy. But the truth is that revolutionaries have never cared about democracy. Socialists care abou
