During the 2018 race for governor in Georgia, Democratic candidate Abrams faced off against then-Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp. The race was one of the most watched in the nation, with “likely” over $100 million spent, according to The Atlanta Journal Constitution. With the RealClearPolitics polling average placing Kemp ahead of Abrams by a margin of just three percentage points in the days leading up to the general election, Kemp edged out a 1.4% victory. On November 16, ten days after her Election Day loss, Abrams admitted defeat, and slammed Brian Kemp for alleged voter “suppression” in a monologue that Abrams emphasized was “not a speech of concession.” “I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election — but to watch an elected official who claims to represent the people in this state baldly pin his hopes for election on the suppression of the people’s democratic right to vote has been truly appalling,” Abrams said. “So let’s be clear — this is not a speech of concession because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true, or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that.” After the election, then-President Trump lauded Kemp, and spoke highly of Abrams as well, tweeting: “Congratulations to Brian Kemp on becoming the new Governor of Georgia. Stacey Abrams fought brilliantly and hard — she will have a terrific political future! Brian was unrelenting and will become a great Governor for the truly Wonderful People of Georgia!

 HERAT, AFGHANISTAN - SEPTEMBER 25: Taliban hangs dead bodies of 4 people killed on charges of kidnapping to the main square of western province of Herat, Afghanistan on September 25, 2021.

Taliban terrorists hung a dead man’s body from a crane in the middle of the street on Saturday in one of Afghanistan’s largest cities, sparking fears that the regime’s brutality was already back less than a month after they took over the country.

A store owner in Herat told the Associated Press that the Taliban brought four bodies to the main square, displaying one there and moving the other three to various parts of the city for public viewing. The Taliban claimed that the men who they killed were involved in a kidnapping and that they were all killed during a gun fight.Reuters reported:

Footage of the bloodstained corpse, swinging on the crane was widely shared on social media, showing a note pinned to the man’s chest saying “This is the punishment for kidnapping.”

Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) responded to the event by posting a photograph of one of the hangings, writing: “America needs to see and understand what brutal terrorist thugs we are dealing with…and that their violence will follow us home.”


The gruesome display by the Taliban comes after Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration repeatedly praised the Taliban in recent weeks, calling them “businesslike and professional.”

The White House’s praise of the Taliban came during the week of the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in the U.S. The attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda terrorists, who were being protected in Afghanistan by the Taliban.

“The Taliban have been cooperative in facilitating the departure of American citizens and lawful permanent residents on charter flights from HKIA,” the administration claimed in a statement after some American citizens were finally evacuated out of Afghanistan after being left there. “They have shown flexibility, and they have been businesslike and professional in our dealings with them in this effort. This is a positive first step.”

Biden’s disastrous withdraw from the country resulted in 13 U.S. service members being murdered by ISIS terrorists at the airport in Kabul. A large number of Americans, thousands of green card holders, and tens of thousands of SIV applicants were left behind by the administration.
