- Afghanistan has all but fallen into the wrong hands (or so it is thought.)
The onslaught of violence and movements made by the Taliban over the course of the past month have all but overthrown the already existing government. As a group, the Taliban has managed to re-emerge like it is 2001 all over again in near full control. Some are acknowledging that the west should be on high alert — because the last time they held full power 11 September happened which resulted in the invasion of Afghanistan.
Meanwhile over in New York….
2. Incoming NY Governor Kathy Hochul has some words for those curious as to how she’ll run America’s most fascinating state.
According to an interview with CNN ‘s Jake Tapper, the following comments were made in response to an inquiry about what kind of environment Hochul intends to foster at work.
“It won’t be difficult for me. Everyone who has known my career over 27 years of elected office knows that I have very high ethical standards and I will go in there and literally say, ‘It is a whole new day.’ Zero tolerance,” Hochul told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.” “I’m going to be very firm in my expectations on how my administration conducts themselves throughout the entire work force but also I want people to know, particularly young women like I was once a young intern working in Buffalo in Democratic politics, I want them to know this is a place they’re welcome.”She continued, “They’ll feel safe. They’ll know their ideas are valued. So I don’t think it is going to take a lot for that tone to change on day one, and I’m excited about that.”
