AFGHANISTAN: Before we abandoned the country, one of my military kids observed Afghani women whose male relatives had all died fighting for Allah. In that area, the Taliban did not permit women to appear in public without a male relative. These women were literally left to starve to death in their homes.

The new Taliban is much more progressive. Adult woman are permitted to leave home “out of necessity”, but must be completely covered and not speak. Women also may not look directly at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and taxi drivers are forbidden to drive a woman who does not have a suitable male escort.

I guess if a woman is alone and needs food, she can walk to a local market and point at what she needs. But what about medical care? Females are forbidden education, so there clearly are no female doctors.

I saw a woman in a local JoAnn’s once. It was a hot day, so her husband was in a short sleeved shirt and their little girl was wearing a sun dress and sandals. The wife/mother was not only covered in a BLACK burqa with just eye slits … she was wearing black gloves! I watched her try to feel the fabric she liked with gloves on, then whisper to her husband how much he should purchase. I wanted to cry.

PENNSYLVANIA: Bad news out of the key swing state … a Pennsylvania court has just ruled that undated absentee and mail-in ballots, and ballots with the wrong dates, will be counted this November. They know she can’t win for real.

STOLEN VALOR: Tim Walz sent Wes Moore, Maryland’s Democrat governor, on to cable TV to defend him from stolen valor accusations.

In 2006, Moore wrote on an application for a prestigious White House fellowship that he had been awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his work with the 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan. Apparently, someone had put him in for the award, but he never actually received it.

But never mind. He has been allowing himself to be repeatedly introduced as “a Bronze Star recipient” for the past 18 years. And now he got the job of defending Tim Walz from stolen valor accusations.
