for Afghanistan debacle

The Taliban have retaken 12 provincial Afghanistan capitals following the U.S. military’s secretive overnight withdrawal from Bagram Airfield earlier this year (U.S. officials didn’t even notify the base’s new Afghan commander before silently slipping away, leaving the official to discover for himself, nearly two hours after the fact, that the Americans had Irish Goodbye’d after nearly 20 years of occupation).Since the May 1 departure, the Taliban have captured 69 of the country's 407 districts, including ones American and Afghan officials previously considered impenetrable government strongholds against the terrorist group.

We're Fleeing Afghanistan. Now What?

The surge of the Taliban and the ongoing collapse of the Afghan government is a tragic development for many Afghans, particularly women and those who have been associated with American forces. It's also a disgrace and significant setback for both the Biden administration and for the U.S. itself. The withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan began with President Trump, who said Americans were tired of an war with no end in sight. He was correct. Americans were tired of seeing our brave young soldiers coming home with their arms, legs, and faces blown off or not coming home at all. What was it for?
Hundreds of migrants have been left stranded after being expelled from the US under the Biden administration's 'cruel, unlawful and ineffective' immigration rules.
Central American families with young children have been forced to travel through three countries in the space of 24 hours, with many being dropped in remote jungle outposts along the Guatemalan border after being denied entry into the US.The expulsion is part of the Biden administration's new measure which aims to make it harder for migrants to return to the US border to seek asylum in the future.
Last weekend, former President Barack Obama decided to throw himself a massive 60th birthday party at his home on Martha’s Vineyard.The party was ignored by Democrats but greatly criticized by Republicans considering Democrats have been the group who have pushed the most extreme COVID regulations against the American people and they didn’t seem to care about Obama’s super spreader birthday party.Karma just hit back.According to a new report released by the Daily Mail, at least 74 people on Martha’s Vineyard have tested positive

The Parleys Canyon Fire broke out at around 2pm on the south side of Parleys Canyon near Highway I-80. All residents of Summit Park, Pinebrook, Mill Creek Canyon, Timberline, and Lambs Canyon are being asked to evacuate.Some residents are refusing to evacuate, causing stress to first responders as it is interfering with their efforts to extinguish the fire and 'putting first responders in danger.' Six-thousand to 8,000 homes are at risk of being affected as the fire has grown
Gun-toting Taliban fighters were seen on video lounging in the opulent palace of an Afghanistan warlord after taking over Mazar-i-Sharif, one of the country’s last key cities to fall to the rapidly-moving insurgents, according to a report.The surreal scene of the insurrectionists relaxing on gold-plated furniture and admiring possessions in the ornate home of military leader Abdul Rashid Dostum — a US ally — was captured on footage circulating on social media Saturday, according to Saudi Arabi-based news channel Al Arabiya.Dostum, a former Afghan vice president, is one of two notorious strongmen in the region who fled over the border into Uzbekistan Saturday
Google whistleblower Zach Vorhis says Google altered its news algorithm to directly target former President Donald Trump.Vorhis was a senior software engineer at YouTube and Google. He left after discovering the companies censored conservatives. Vorhis’ new book, Google Leaks: A Whistleblower’s Exposé of Big Tech Censorship, took a deep dive into Big Tech’s censorship of right-of-center conservatives: The madness of Big Tech and their attempt to mold our reality into a version compatible with their globalist view of the world has never been portrayed better than in this chilling account by Google whistleblower, Zach Vorhies. As a senior engineer at Google for many years, Zach was aware of their bias,

The collapse of Mazar-i-Sharif, the capital of Balkh Province and
President Joe Biden and Democrats keep telling Americans not to worry about inflation, that it’s only temporary. Yet the record price hikes keep getting worse.On Thursday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported yet another jump, a full 1 percent, in the producer price index (which measures prices before they reach consumers) for the month of July. Wholesale prices are now up 7.8 percent over the past year, the fastest annual surge since such recordkeeping began in 2010.On Wednesday, the BLS reported consumer prices rose 0.5 percent in July, or 5.4 percent over the past year —
Disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo could collect at least $50,000 taxpayer money a year in state pension even after he resigned in shame over his sex pest scandal. The New York governor is entitled to a monthly pension of $4,222 and annual pension of $50,662 from the state of New York, according to think tank Empire Center's pension calculator.The calculations are based on Cuomo retiring and starting to collect his pension on August 25 - his last day in office - at the age of 63 and after working for the state for 15 years.Cuomo is the highest paid governor in American history,
Intelligence chiefs have warned that online extremist rhetoric is 'very similar' to that which was going on in the buildup to the January 6 insurrection on the US Capitol, with increasing calls for violence linked to conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election.Homeland Security Intelligence chief John Cohen told CNN that there has been an increase in comments online such as 'the system is broken,' 'take action into their own hands' and 'bring out the gallows.''It's very similar to the stuff we saw prior to January 6,'
Taliban fighters today seized $6million US Blackhawk helicopters alongside tons of American equipment as they took to the skies in captured Russian choppers amid their advance through Afghanistan. A series of videos being shared on social media show insurgents flying the Kremlin-made mi-17 aircraft around the city of Kandahar, with concerns continuing to grow over the militants' ongoing grab for power.Even more seismic, however, is the evidence that the Taliban have also seized American-made Blackhawk helicopters, made famous in the 2001 Ridley Scott blockbuster.

The adult LGBTQ population in the United States reported living in households facing much higher levels of food insecurity when compared to non-LGBTQ adults, according to data recently released by the Census Bureau.
Of the more than 64,000 people who responded to a recent survey by the bureau, 13.1% of LGBTQ adults reported living in a household “where there was sometimes or often not enough to eat in the past seven days,” compared to 7.2% non-LGBTQ adults. The latest version of the Household Pulse Survey, which measures household experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, also included questions about respondents’ sexual orientation and gender identity.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday signed into a law a bill that bars hair discrimination in schools, saying it will help ensure that students statewide feel “comfortable and confident in their own skin.”But the mother whose son was an inspiration for the law — a 4-year-old Black child who was told his braids were a violation of school dress codes — said the moment “is bigger than just hair.”“Our hair is an extension of who we are as a race and is deeply connected with our cultural identity,” said Ida Nelson, who had a front row seat at the bill signing, holding son Gus “Jett” Hawkins in her lap.
GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell called on President Biden to launch 11th hour airstrikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan, as the group comes perilously close to seizing the nation’s capital of Kabul. “It is not too late to prevent the Taliban from overrunning Kabul,” The Kentucky senator said in a statement Friday, Fox News reported. “The Administration should move quickly to hammer Taliban advances with airstrikes, provide critical support to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) defending the capital, and prevent the seemingly imminent fall of the city.”
The message came after McConnell had what he described as an “urgent conversation” with Adela Raz,
He sure is. One can give him a partial pass on COVID’s resurgence since the rise of the Delta variant was out of his hands. But the other three here are squarely on him. Even COVID is only a partial pass. Many millions of senior citizens are sitting around waiting to be infected as the immunity from shots they received six or seven months ago ebbs. What are Biden’s CDC and FDA doing about it? Jack at the moment, to all appearances.
I have no sense of how the catastrophic lightning fall of Afghanistan’s government will play with voters.
A Teaneck woman who was attacked and suffered a broken bone in her leg in Staples last summer after asking a fellow customer to put on a mask has filed a lawsuit against the business.

I later learned it was my tibia,” Kagan said. Police arrested Terri Thomas, 25,

Marine Corps General David H. Berger on Monday rebuked Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s edict requiring all Armed Forces personnel to submit to Covid-19 vaccinations under threat of court martial or discharge, said a source in Gen. Berger’s office who overheard a heated conversation between them. Gen. Berger telephoned the defense secretary minutes after he said in a press conference that the Covid-19 vaccination is needed to maintain military readiness and that he would enforce the mandatory vaccination policy regardless of FDA approval status. “There will be no mandatory vaccinations for my Marines,” Gen.

Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has reportedly instructed embassy staff in Kabul to destroy American flags to minimize the embarrassment the administration will face through propaganda produced by the Taliban as the extremist group has rapidly seized large swaths of the country.“Facilities will provide destruction support between 0830 and 1600 daily until further notice,” an internal memo stated, according to The Washington Post. “Please take advantage and reduce the amount of sensitive material on the property.”
The United States Department of Homeland Security made a quiet and alarming announcement yesterday, creating the official position of the United States Government under the Joe Biden regime. [SEE DHS STATEMENT HERE] According to the statement, if you question the orthodoxy, mandates, or COVID-19 response from the U.S. government, you are now considered a “terrorist”, specifically a “Domestic Violent Extremist” (DVE).This is quite a remarkable development and seems to underpin the tenuous, unstable and fragile disposition of the current regime. The Department of Homeland Security seems rather paranoid in their need to label anyone who would question the COVID-19 response. More than half the country would now
Gas customers voiced their disappointment and frustration regarding soaring prices in Arlington, Virginia, on Thursday.
“It’s killing me. It takes 60 bucks to fill up the 2020 Camaro and it takes $52 to fill up my 2016 Chevy Malibu,” a man named Tony, who is a Shell customer, told a reporter with Fox News, adding, “It’s crazy.”
Consumer prices grew 5.4 percent in July compared to one year ago, mirroring the prior month’s increase as the fastest since 2008, a recent Department of Labor report said, according to the outlet.

President Joe Biden is quickly proving to be the weakest president in modern history. According to a bombshell new report, the Taliban has seized US weapons and military equipment in Afghanistan. The equipment includes guns, artillery and even tanks.The report, released by the Washington Free Beacon, came after video footage began spreading online showing terrorists with United States weaponry.Check it out: (Tweets/Videos) The Washington Free Beacon reported:The Taliban has seized scores of American weapons and military equipment from Afghan security forces as the terrorist group accelerates its takeover following the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country.
What will it take for Joe Biden to admit he is disastrously wrong about Afghanistan? The US leader struck a defiant pose last week. Sounding like a slightly desperate Olympics coach, he told Afghans it was their country. If they want it, they have to fight for it. In American politics-speak, this is called tough love. Without the love.
Biden has more hands-on foreign policy experience than any president since George HW Bush. That doesn’t mean he knows what he’s doing. Opinion polls suggest his abrupt Afghan withdrawal has majority public support. That doesn’t mean Americans will remain indifferent as the carnage and misery mount.
