A BAD IDEA EXPLAINED: Trump shares why he cancelled peace talk with Taliban at Camp David,

Just about any American you could ask about the president meeting terrorists on American soil would think it is a bad idea. Some would say meeting with an enemy  anywhere, at anytime is out of the question.  Pres. Donald Trump tweeted he was to have secret peace talk with the Taliban at Camp David over the weekend just days before September 11. "To bring Taliban leaders ... to Camp David, not that far from New York City, a couple days prior to 9/11, I don't know how that went through the good idea filter and made it as far as it did,” Kinzinger told CNN Tuesday.

On Monday Pres. Trump said talks with the Taliban are "dead.

"cancelled it after the Taliban took credit for a  car bombing.  Trump suspected that if he had the meeting at the White House, which he decided to cancel, that there would be even more criticism.  On Monday he explained that he cancelled the meeting due to the killing of and Americans soldier, ruling out any assumptions that he bowed to the pressure of being criticized for having it.

"The only reason I cancelled that meeting is that they killed one of our soldiers.  They killed a total of 12 people trying to build up their importance," Pres. Trump said.

Confident in his negotiation skills, Pres. Trump behaves as if he can meet with leaders that have had decades long conflicts with the U.S. and forge meaningful agreements.   In 2017 the U.S. and North Korea entered peace talks to denuclearize the area but they continued missle testing, proving to be ineffective.

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
