President Joe Biden delivered a speech of quiet fury at the White House on Monday, defending his decision to bring home U.S. troops before blaming Afghan leaders for their failure to prevent the country collapsing. 'I stand squarely behind my decision,' Biden said. 'After 20 years I've learned the hard way. That there was never a good time to withdraw U.S. forces.' It was the first time the president had spoken publicly about the unfolding crisis in six days. He was forced to return from Camp David amid hostile headlines about his absence from Washington while Americans were being rescued from Kabul airport.

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar cornered White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield over Biden’s botched handling of Afghanistan and the efforts to evacuate thousands of Americans trapped behind enemy lines who are now at the mercy of the Taliban.The interview took place on Friday morning on “New Day.” Bedingfield rushed to assure Americans that President Biden is “laser-focused” on getting Americans and Afghan allies out of Afghanistan. Keilar wasn’t entirely buying what she was selling.“So where are the issues then? What issues are you addressing to get to that number?” Keilar asked regarding the number of daily evacuees.Bedingfield parroted that they’re working to move planes and people more quickly,
A British diplomatic memo leaked to Bloomberg News reveals Joe Biden promised G-7 allies in June at the summit in Cornwall, England that “critical US enablers” would remain in place to keep Kabul stable.British officials took Biden’s word and assumed they would keep the embassy safely functioning.They were wrong.(Tweet) The Taliban quickly took over Kabul leaving tens of thousands of Americans trapped behind enemy lines.The UK, France and Germany sent special forces to rescue their citizens trapped outside of Kabul airport because of Joe Biden’s betrayal and incompetence.
It only took this corrupt organization seven months to finally report the truth. The FBI admitted this week there was “scant evidence” the US Capitol “attack” was coordinated. We knew this when it happened. The dirtbags at the FBI finally admitted this today. Chris Wray and James Comey DESTROYED the once-respected intelligence organization. Maybe someday an honest FBI agent will leak out the details on the informants and plants they had in the crowd that day?
As reported earlier, Pennsylvania Republican Senate leader Jake Corman has squashed Doug Mastriano’s quest for an audit of the PA 2020 election results.Senator Mastriano put up a video on his Facebook page blaming the “powers that be” for keeping his committee from meeting and issuing subpoenas. The video was subsequently taken down. On Friday Senator Doug Mastriano joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to discuss the GOP leader’s efforts to block the forensic audit in Pennsylvania.
Osama bin Laden banned al Qaeda from assassinating Joe Biden because the Democrat would become an incompetent president and 'lead the US into a crisis' if jihadists were successful in killing Barack Obama. Bin Laden made the remark in a 2010 letter that was found in a trove of documents at the Pakistan compound where he was killed by US special forces in 2011.
The document was first made public in 2012 but has been brought back to light and given new significance amid the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan that has gifted the country back to the Taliban.
The White House said Friday that President Joe Biden 'never shies' away from taking questions – after the president has been slammed for avoiding White House reporters' questions amid the chaos in Afghanistan.The statement about Biden's willingness to face the press came as the White House communications team has kept Biden away from the reporters who follow him – and the president has avoided his typical proclivity to engage with them on issues of the day, even amid the unfolding international crisis. Biden spoke from the White House on Wednesday about the coronavirus amid the evolving situation in Afghanistan,

Mourners flooded the streets Wednesday and Thursday to pay their respects to 29-year-old Chicago Police Officer Ella French, who was killed in the line of duty. "We'll continue to be courageous, brave, committed, and dedicated for Ella to protecting the city of Chicago," said Police Superintendent David Brown. Processions made their way through the streets Wednesday and Thursday for her wake and funeral before fellow officers took her casket into St. Rita of Cascia Church. Over a thousand mourners poured through the streets Wednesday, and at least hundreds on Thursday.
A strong supporter of former President Donald Trump who has been trying to organize an Arizona-style forensic audit of the 2020 election in Pennsylvania said his efforts have been "thwarted" by members of his own party. On Thursday, Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano said Republican leaders in Pennsylvania were standing in the way of his efforts to initiate an audit in the state, blocking him from issuing subpoenas to election officials in Philadelphia, York, and Tioga counties, which all refused to comply with previous requests."The powers that be made sure that didn't happen," Mastriano said in a Facebook video that has since been deleted,
British paratroopers are risking their lives in Afghanistan to save UK citizens from the deadly Taliban after President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdraw from the region. While the British government is telling its citizens that “help is on the way,” Biden is telling American citizens that they are on their own. The UK is sending paratroopers to Kabul to rescue the 4,000 stranded Brits and Afghan allies in Kabul. The paratroopers were told to “prepare for face-to-face combat.”
President Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan has put a spotlight back on the controversial waiver Congress used to confirm the nomination of now-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.Austin has come under fire for his admission this week that the United States military does not have the capability to help the thousands of Americans stranded outside the Kabul, Afghanistan, airport.Austin said, “We don’t have the capability to go out and collect up large numbers of people.”Austin’s involvement in the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan follows as Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), the chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), urged Republicans in January to vote against Austin’s waiver
New images captured the devastation left behind by the Cache Fire in Northern California while the fast spreading Caldor Fire wildfire grew 24 times in size in just two days. Aerial shots of Clearlake, just north of San Francisco, show the full extent of the damage the Cache Fire has caused. The wildfire has burned through about 80 acres and is 20 percent contained as of Thursday, Cal Fire officials said. About 50 homes in Clearlake have been burned to the ground and 1,600 people were forced to be evacuated at the height of the fire, and about 800 people were put on evacuation standby, NBCBayArea.com reported.
The Biden administration on Thursday struggled to speed up evacuations of as many as 80,000 Americans and Afghan allies — with the suddenly pressing effort being marred by obstacles ranging from red tape and visa paperwork problems to massive crowds and often violent Taliban checkpoints that barred entry.Even American citizens with valid passports fear making the perilous journey to the airport for fear of the armed Taliban fighters who surround the Kabul airport.David Marshall Fox, an American who moved to Afghanistan in 2013, told The Post on Thursday that he’s abandoned hope of getting onto an evacuation flight, saying the danger of his young son getting shot

There is something amiss with the Camp David photos recently posted by the White House — and it’s not just the clocks.The White House on Sunday morning posted a photo of Joe Biden at Camp David, where he was vacationing when the news hit that Afghanistan was falling into the hands of the Taliban.(Tweet) “This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel in Afghanistan, evacuations of SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul,” the account said.One of the first things people noticed was
As scenes of horror and terror continue to unfold in Kabul amid Presidentish Joe Biden’s haphazard and increasingly desperate evacuation efforts, many of us have said all week that it didn’t have to be like this. Here’s the proof. Raheem Kassam revealed on Wednesday that under President Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo’s State Department had ordered the creation of a “Contingency and Crisis Response” office whose job would be avoiding “a future Benghazi-style situation for Americans overseas.” But while Biden lied to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday that “We planned for every contingency,” behind the scenes,
The US Capitol was put in lockdown while police negotiated with a man in a pick-up truck demanding airstrikes in Afghanistan to 'kick the Taliban's a**' and asking to speak to Joe Biden on Thursday before surrendering to police after a five hour standoff. The man in the truck is believed to be 49-year-old Ray Roseberry from North Carolina. At 9.15am this morning, he drove his black pick-up truck onto the sidewalk outside the Library of Congress, opposite the Capitol building. Congress is in recess so no elected officials are there but there are staffers who are still working in the Capitol buildings.
Vice President Kamala Harris is missing in action amid the crisis in Afghanistan and, according to rumors, it’s because she’d rather the blame be directed onto someone else.The problem is she’s already admitted to having played a key role in President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11th versus the May 1st deadline that had been negotiated by his predecessor.In a CNN interview in April, she admitted to having been the “last person in the room” at the time the decision was made. She also defended the decision. “This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage.

During Wednesday’s briefing by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, CBS national security reporter Jennifer Griffin asked the two about the decision to abandon Bagram Air Base in the weeks leading up to Afghanistan’s collapse. That decision has proven to be crucial, as it left Afghanistan with no U.S. military support and now leaves the civilians stranded there with one option: to try to get to the Kabul international airport through Taliban checkpoints. The U.S. government issued a statement saying that it cannot guarantee

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted a video on social media on Wednesday in which she called President Joe Biden “a piece of sht.”
The video was posted on Gettr, a new social media platform launched by former Donald Trump adviser Jason Miller.
“Joe Biden, you’re not a president,” she said in the 17-second video filmed at a gym. “You’re a piece of sht. Thousands of Americans are stuck over there in Afghanistan and you’re letting the Taliban kick your ass while you’re lecturing governors about masks and vaccines. Do your job. Bring these Americans home.”
The pending report from special counsel John Durham, who was tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe, should be released to the public, demanded Senate Republicans in a letter this week.
More than 40 GOP senators, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), signed a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking that Durham, a former U.S. attorney, should be allowed to continue his investigation and his report released to the public.
There have been questions about whether Durham’s investigation will lack funding past the end of the federal government’s fiscal year on Sept. 30.
Students at Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University will be fined up to $2,275 and lose internet access if they fail to comply with the university’s COVID-19 vaccination policies.
The private liberal arts college in New Haven County announced the new penalties on Aug. 16 in an email sent to some 600 students who haven’t yet provided proof of COVID-19 vaccination or requested an exemption.
Students at Quinnipiac were required to submit their vaccination records by Aug. 1, according to an email obtained by The Epoch Times. Those not in compliance by Sept. 14 will begin to face $100 weekly fines, with increases of $25 after every two weeks,

Is Biden okay?

Jim Geraghty’s written two posts today making the case that something is up. I’m not sold on his first post. His second is more persuasive.
The first post argues that Biden’s chat with George Stephanopoulos was filled with enough contradictions and awkward stammering that, paired with his low visibility lately, we might reasonably conclude that his health has become an issue. Whether you agree comes down to a gut check on how you felt about the interview. I didn’t see it as out of the ordinary for Biden. His answers were emphatically not good but he didn’t seem checked out to me. If anything, he was combative
It seems that Alan Dershowitz’s ties to the Trump administration have made him persona non grata among the Martha’s Vineyard elite — including Larry David.A Page Six spy spotted the Harvard Law professor — who was once, like David, a fully paid-up member of the Democrat cool kids — bumping into the comic on the porch of the island’s picturesque convenience store and community hub Chilmark General Store, and found their exchange so bizarre that they “wrote it down to remember it.”Page Six strongly recommends that readers enjoy the following while
