My latest in PJ Media: Kyle Shideler, the Director/Senior Analyst for Homeland Security & Counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy, said it best: “They may have a 7th-century law code, but they grift with the best of the 21st century.” The Taliban does indeed appear to have caught on to one of the most […]
Afghanistan: Taliban calls for international funding to support its efforts to fight climate change
