Nobody likes the war in Afghanistan, but Joe Biden's solution -- a sudden U.S. pullout, complete with a 9/11-anniversary courtesy schedule for the Taliban's convenience, is shaping up to be a U.S. disaster. According to the Washington Post: The Biden administration is preparing for Afghanistan’s capital to fall far sooner than feared only weeks ago, as a rapid disintegration of security has prompted the revision of an already stark intelligence assessment predicting Kabul could be overrun

The Biden Doctrine: Beg

Joe Biden is begging the Taliban to spare the U.S. embassy when they knock down the Afghan capital of Kabul and completely overrun the country, And with the fall of Kandahar, Herat, and all the other big Afghan cities, that could be any day now.
Here's the lovely story from the New York Times:
WASHINGTON — American negotiators are trying to extract assurances from the Taliban that they will not attack the U.S. Embassy in Kabul if the extremist group takes over the country’s government and ever wants to receive foreign aid, three American officials said.
The effort, led by Zalmay Khalilzad,
Joe Biden, who plays Mr. Everyman on T.V., in real life has an amazing history of stiffing the little guy.
He touts a federal $15 an hour minimum wage and raves about wage gains during his administration:
“When it comes to the economy we’re building, rising wages aren’t a bug, they’re a feature,” he said.
His éminence grise advisor, Susan Rice, says the same: (Snip for tweet.) Turns out all those wage gains are gone. According to Politico:
Rising prices on everything from groceries to gasoline have eaten away the wage gains workers have seen since the start of the year, leaving most Americans earning less than they were before the pandemic began

Remember Pajama Boy, the onesie-clad man with hot chocolate who was hired by Obama White House allies to get young people to buy the Obamacare and its 'narrative'?
Well, now it's Benny Drama.
He's the new pop face of the Biden administration's bid to persuade the public to get vaccines. [Snip for tweet] According to the Daily Mail:
In a bid to promote Covid-19 vaccines among young people, the White House has recruited Gen Z TikTok influencers, one who dropped another spoof video on Monday.
Benito Skinner, a comedian whose TikTok handle is @bennydrama7 and boasts over 845,000 followers, posted a video
President Obama planned a 60th birthday party at his Martha's Vineyard mansion for 500 of his closest friends. So much for COVID. So much for global warming.
And after the ridicule and word of hypocrisy got out, Obama scaled it down, claiming it was just close friends and family now. But it didn't quite look that way once photos got out showing Obama dancing the night away — with the celebrity cavalcade of Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Steven Spielberg, Bradley Cooper, Don Cheadle, Erykah Badu, Steven Colbert, all his "closest" friends. Oh, and "close friend" John Kerry, too, who happens to be from Massachusetts. Imagine Kerry discoing
In one of the most outrageous instances of internet censorship, YouTube has suppressed Australian news giant SkyNews for a week, based on its reports about hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.
The London Telegraph has the first report here:
Sky News Australia has been banned for a week from uploading videos to Youtube after it was accused of spreading misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic.
The Sky News Australia channel on YouTube received a "strike" over "numerous" video clips, including "content that denies the existence of Covid-19," the video platform said.
TOKYO — Laurel Hubbard, a transgender weightlifter from New Zealand, was knocked out of the women’s 87+ kilogram competition early after failing on all three of her attempts.
Hubbard failed on her first attempt to get 120kg above her head, bailing out early. On her second attempt at 125kg, she was able to get the weight up and pumped her fist after in satisfaction, however judges ruled it a “no lift.”
She returned quickly for another attempt at 125kg only to fail to stand up with the weight above her head. Hubbard was the only one of the 13 finalists to not complete at least one lift.
President Biden’s troubled son Hunter did not mince words in responding to critics of the stunning prices that his paintings have been fetching.
On the “Nota Bene: This Week in the Art World” podcast, the issue came up when the host began “You seem to have good spirits around the crazed narrative around your paintings. How do you- what’s the response to the people who are coming after the prices of the work, the collectors, what is your response to that?”
Biden responded to the favorably phrased question angrily, “Other than f***’em?” he shot back. Biden’s paintings have been selling for as much as $500,000, the 51-year-old man
The more CDC director Rochelle Walensky talks, the worse she sounds.
Along with her well-noted controversial statements about returning to mask-wearing and a nationally mandated COVID vaccine, the latter of which she walked back to some extent, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director threw out other nutty statements that are worth noting if for nothing else than the fact that Joe Biden says he defers to her and her continuously mistaken bureaucrats at CDC.
Breitbart News reported that a question about illegal border crossers spreading COVID, from Fox News's Bret Baier, triggered this exchange:

Joe Biden, not the brightest bulb in the box, has unwittingly declared war on his own political base.
What else to make of his mandatory vaccine diktat for the federal workforce, which came out yesterday, demanding that 2.876 million federal workers be vaxxed for COVID, or else.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday announced sweeping new pandemic requirements aimed at boosting vaccination rates for millions of federal workers and contractors as he lamented the “American tragedy” of rising-yet-preventable deaths among the unvaccinated.
Is the Joe Biden administration serious about COVID? Doesn't look like it.
Fox News, citing a local incident in La Joya, Texas, found that the Border Patrol is releasing COVID-infected illegals into Texas communities to spread the disease. That's a curious thing given that Biden drew headlines for supposedly keeping Title 42 in place, which would require the Border Patrol to instantly expel migrants based on COVID concerns. Based on this kind of news, the order is de facto rescinded whether Biden says so or not.
In this Texas case, illegal migrants had been let in and then handed over to the NGO Catholic Charities in La Joya, Texas, which
So Kamala Harris is set to campaign for embattled California Gov. Gavin Newsom, to keep him from losing office. The latter, of course, is facing a voter recall.
According to the Washington Examiner:
Vice President Kamala Harris vowed to campaign for Gov. Gavin Newsom as he faces a recall effort in California.
When asked whether she would back the Democratic governor, the longtime associate of Newsom answered, "Yes."
Harris, a former California attorney general and senator, did not elaborate further as she departed the Capitol.

Every now and then the RINOs tell you how they REALLY feel about their base voters.
Last night Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) spoke at an event in Chicago.
During questions and answers Crenshaw told supporters there was no voter fraud in the 2020 election adding, “Don’t kid yourself into believing that’s why we lost. It’s not. I’ll tell you openly.”
At that point conservative activist Bobby Piton jumped in to challenge Crenshaw. “You’re wrong.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden said Wednesday his administration is taking steps to crack down on illegal activity that might be contributing to a rise in gas prices. Biden announced that the National Economic Council has asked the Federal Trade Commission to use “every available tool” to monitor the U.S. gasoline market and look for any illegal activity that might be causing gas prices to jump while the cost of a barrel of oil is going down. “That’s not what you’d expect in a competitive market,” Biden said from the White House.

The Pentagon is sending 3,000 troops back into Afghanistan to help evacuate some personnel from the US embassy amid the Taliban's surging encroachment on the capital city of Kabul.Those 3,000 troops, part of three infantry battalions, are in addition to the over 650 US service members still currently stationed in Afghanistan. Another 3,500 to 4,000 reserve forces will be stationed in Kuwait on standby, and another 1,000 will go to Qatar to help with Special Immigrant Visa processing. Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said: 'We believe this is it the prudent thing to do given the rapidly deteriorating security situation in and around Kabul.'
The 2020 Census has revealed that America's white population is shrinking and is now less than 60 percent for the first time on record, with nearly 20million fewer white Americans alive today than ten years ago.White Americans make up 57.8 percent of the country, according to the data that was released on Thursday, a decrease of over 6 percent since 2010. That is the number of people who replied 'white alone, non Hispanic or Latino' to the survey. Another group who just answered 'white alone' make up 61 percent of the country, according to a data map. The white population is still the largest in the country

The Pentagon is sending troops back to Afghanistan to evacuate some personnel from the US embassy as the Taliban surges into the capital, Kabul, according to the Associated Press.
By Thursday, Taliban fighters had occupied Herat, the third largest city in Afghanistan, and took control of 11 of the 34 state capitals. Radical groups are said to occupy Kandahar, the second largest city in the country after Kabul.
Earlier, US negotiators were reported to have sought guarantees from the Taliban that militant groups would not chase the US embassy if they overtook Kabul.
The Pentagon is preparing for a possible evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan amid fears that the Taliban may overrun the compound in the coming days, the New York Times reported Thursday.
As the militant organization makes significant gains, capturing ten provincial capitals across the country, the State Department is expected to reduce embassy staff and is considering relocating its outpost to the Kabul airport, a number of sources told CNN. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is moving marines into position to cover the evacuation of staff as intelligence reports suggest the Taliban may launch an assault within 30 days, the Times reported.
In a recent mixed gathering of friends and casual acquaintances, a man made a joke about “mental masturbation.” A woman’s rejoinder mentioned her habits of the physical kind. Everyone laughed. I did too. It was funny.
That’s an exchange that would not have happened a few years ago. Back then, and forever prior to then, onanism was a fine thing that 90% of people practiced, often to perfection, but 110% denied. Heck, they didn’t even need to deny it, because the entire topic was taboo.
Not so anymore.
Mike Lindell on Thursday claimed he was attacked at his hotel in Sioux Falls, South Dakota during his 'cyber symposium' claiming the 2020 election was rigged against Donald Trump. The MyPillow CEO took the stage and told the crowd 'I'm okay but it hurts' after the alleged confrontation on Wednesday night, hours after he fled the stage when he found out he has lost a bid to dismiss a $1.3 billion lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over voter fraud claims. Lindell is hosting a 72-hour marathon cyber symposium where he is attempting to prove his baseless election fraud claims.
Blue hydrogen has “no role in a carbon-free future” – and is actually up to 20% worse for the planet than burning gas or coal to produce heat, according to what is claimed as a landmark academic study.
In the week that the United Nations declared “code red for humanity” over the climate emergency, researchers from Cornell and Stanford universities in the US branded the blue variety of hydrogen beloved of the fossil fuel sector as a “distraction” that could divert focus away from genuinely green technologies.
Blue H2, produced using natural gas with carbon capture and storage (CCS), is a key plank of the energy transition strategies
Another day, another instance of a Big Tech company censoring content it doesn’t like.
This time, YouTube—owned by Google—took down a video by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., in which he discusses face masks and COVID-19. YouTube also banned Paul from its platform for a week.
“We removed content from Senator Paul’s channel for including claims that masks are ineffective in preventing the contraction or transmission of COVID-19, in accordance with our COVID-19 medical misinformation policies,” YouTube said in a public statement.
Notably, YouTube’s policy cites the World Health Organization and “local authorities” as its source of what’s correct about COVID-19.
