Biden Agrees With Trump’s Decision to Pull Troops From Iraq
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday night agreed with President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. Asked if he agreed with the president’s move, Biden said, “Yes, I do. As long as he has a plan to figure out how he’s going to deal with ISIS.” Biden voted to authorize the war in Iraq in 2002. He then admitted in a 2007 book released during his presidential bid at the time that it was a mistake.

Red Hot Sauce
This homemade hot sauce mimics many of the hot sauces found on grocery store shelves. The big difference? This sauce is not fermented, which means it has a much shorter shelf life. Use or freeze this sauce within a week of preparing.
To make a green hot sauce, substitute 12 jalape帽os for the cayenne peppers. Throw in a habanero or Thai pepper for extra heat. Oh, and wear gloves to protect your hands when working with raw chiles.
Makes 2 cups
- 15 cayenne peppers
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar聽
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Remove the stems from the peppers and slice in half lengthwise.
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until peppers and garlic are tender. Let stand for 5 minutes, then pour mixture into a blender. Cover the blender and also put a cloth over the top. Blend until mixture is smooth.聽
Pour mixture into a pint jar and refrigerate, or divide into freezer-safe containers to freeze for later.

Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) have introduced a series of bills intended to hold rioters accountable for destroying property and otherwise harming citizens throughout America’s cities. “Under lenient leftist policies, insurrectionists around the country continue to pillage America’s communities.
