The Path to Zero: The Withdrawal From Afghanistan

The End Date was August 30th, 2021

Published

on

– By Jeff Davis

The end date was August 30th, 2021.

If you have questions about America’s military and foreign policy decisions under President Donald J. Trump, I would highly encourage you to watch the newly released 57-minute Wall Street Journal Opinion documentary, The Path to Zero: The Withdrawal From Afghanistan.

Produced by Michael Park’s Palladium Pictures (HERE), the film examines the decisions and events that led to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. It traces the collapse of the Afghan government, the frantic evacuation effort at Kabul’s airport, and the deadly Abbey Gate bombing that claimed the lives of 13 American service members.

What makes the documentary especially important is how quickly many Americans have forgotten those events under the previous Biden Administration. They question the direction of President Trump on international affairs … while forgetting exactly how embarrassing things were just 5 years ago.

The Path to Zero is available to watch free on The Wall Street Journal Opinion YouTube channel (HERE).

THIS WEEK’S HIGHLIGHTS:

Coffee & Politics – Greenville Edition Highlights

Good Saturday morning, Patriots!

This week on Coffee & Politics Greenville, we take a closer look at the proposed $1.1 billion Greenville County Penny Tax and the question every taxpayer should be asking: Who ultimately pays for it?

We also recap Monday’s packed Greenville County Republican Party quarterly meeting, discuss the censure vote involving County Councilman Curt McGahee, examine South Carolina’s political landscape ahead of November 3, and explore pro-life issues, driverless vehicles, artificial intelligence and the importance of civic engagement.

Grab your coffee and catch up on this week’s conversation!

Featured Segments:

00:00 – Greenville GOP Quarterly Meeting & Censure Vote

03:00 – The $1.1 Billion Penny Tax: Who Really Pays?

04:00 – The Cost to Greenville County Families

30:00 – South Carolina Politics, Write-In Campaigns & the November Election

1:08:00 – Driverless Vehicles, GPS & Artificial Intelligence

1:18:00 – Pro-Life Issues, Legislative Action & Education Freedom

1:30:00 – Penny Tax, Taxpayer Burdens & Government Accountability

1:50:00 – Freedom, Communism & Civic Responsibility

Top 5 Takeaways:

1. The Penny Tax means a major new tax burden
The proposed $1.1 billion tax deserves serious scrutiny. Dividing that total by Greenville County’s approximately 550,000 residents illustrates the scale of the proposal: about $2,000 per resident over the life of the tax.

2. Businesses don’t simply absorb new taxes.
When businesses face higher costs, those costs can be passed along to consumers through higher prices. The discussion challenges the idea that a tax on business is somehow separate from the burden borne by individuals and families.

3. The Greenville GOP meeting sent a strong message.
The October discussion revisits the party’s quarterly meeting, including the censure vote involving County Councilman Kurt McGahee and the party’s opposition to the Penny Tax.

4. November 3 is approaching.
The conversation explores South Carolina’s political environment, write-in campaigns, candidate dynamics and the importance of staying engaged rather than allowing political noise to distract voters.

5. Civic engagement matters beyond Election Day.
From pro-life advocacy and education freedom to local tax accountability, citizens have a role in influencing public policy, communicating their convictions and encouraging others to vote.

Quotes of the Week: 

“One point one billion is coming from somewhere. Where do you think it’s coming from?”

“Businesses don’t pay taxes, individual do. Businesses pass along that cost.”

“We have to get everybody to vote.”

——-

The Bottom Line

A $1.1 billion tax proposal deserves more than a slogan. Taxpayers should understand what is being proposed, examine who benefits, and ask who ultimately bears the cost.

The same principle applies to every issue discussed this week: informed citizens, engaged communities and active voters make a difference.

Please share this episode with friends, family and fellow Greenville County residents who want to stay informed about local government and South Carolina politics.
