So, let’s see: under Biden’s leadership Russia invaded Ukraine, and there’s no end in sight. Hamas attacked Israel, raping, torturing, and killing civilians to the point that this was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Israel. Israel and Jew haters have come out of the woodwork throughout the U.S., and most support Biden.
The Houthis are launching attacks on shipping. Iran has been getting frisky. China is making movement towards Taiwan. Haiti has melted down and the U.S. evacuated the embassy. And then there’s that whole disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal with the Taliban being fully back in charge, meaning women are treated like cattle, which led to all the other issues thanks to Biden’s weakness and ineptitude.

ISIS Is Back and Threatens to Be Deadlier Than Ever
It was a little over two weeks since Mohammad Ali Raihani, 28, a student of engineering at Kabul University, had started a day job to provide for his brother and sister while he studied. On Jan. 6, an explosion ripped through the minibus taking him to the printing press where he worked, killing him and six others.
“He studied at night so he could work during the day and support the family. He was our only breadwinner,” his sister Sumaya Raihani told The Daily Beast, choking back tears. “When Mohammad got this job, he was always telling us to study. He promised to buy a bicycle for my younger brother to encourage him to study harder.”
Sumaya has been unable to work or go to school herself under the brutal restrictions on women and girls imposed since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in August 2021.
As well as cruelty and misogyny, Taliban rule has also brought a resurgence in the threat from ISIS. The Sunni Muslim terror group has been allowed to re-group and re-tool in Afghanistan where thousands of fighters are training and plotting attacks, despite Taliban claims that they are trying to clamp down on them.
Hundreds of people—like Mohammad—have already been killed in dozens of attacks inside Afghanistan and in the wider region this year, as part of a new campaign of violence announced in January called “Kill Them Wherever You Find Them.” The campaign was originally billed as a plan to target the Jewish community in response to Israel’s bombing of Gaza after the Oct. 7 attacks, but has since seemingly expanded to include other groups that ISIS deems heretical.
I wonder how much of the military equipment Biden left behind is now in the hands of ISIS?
According to the latest U.N. Security Council report, released in February, despite being largely diminished from its peak presence in 2014-19, ISIS in Afghanistan has seen a resurgence since the Taliban takeover and “managed to undermine Taliban security by carrying out multiple high-profile attacks.”
The U.N. report noted that, since 2022, the group has claimed more than 190 suicide bomb attacks in major cities in the region, resulting in over 1,300 casualties. In 2022, the ISKP conducted large-scale attacks on the embassies of Pakistan, Russia and several Chinese interests in Kabul. In fact, the ISKP attacks in 2022 were found to be “greater lethality than in 2021,” according to the UNSC.
Well, on the bright side, their attacks are staying within the area from Pakistan to Iran. So far. What happens when they decide to attack outside of the area, maybe go after European nations and the U.S.? What happens if they realize how easy it is to cross the U.S. southern border?
These friends didn’t realize that not only were they enjoying a great meal in the city’s west end, they were also helping grow back a forest destroyed by fire.

Jeremy Solin doesn’t need a jacket right now on his family farm in northern Wisconsin. There’s no snow blanketing the dead leaves in the grove of sugar maples. There, pails already hang beneath spiles in the trunks that have started dripping sap. And the ground is muddy — a sign of the spring thaw.
