Trump rips JPMorgan's Dimon over China
threat: He is 'no patriot'
Posted By: Imright, 8/18/2021 12:41:32 PM
Former President Donald Trump slammed JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon during an interview on FOX Business' "Mornings with Maria" on Wednesday for his stance on doing business in China, arguing that he is "no patriot." Trump made the comments reacting to host Maria Bartiromo’s exclusive interview with the JPMorgan Chase CEO earlier this month, where he defended his company's move to do business in China.Bartiromo asked Dimon about the company's business dealings in the region, noting the national security issue. She asked Dimon if the expansion is "just about money."

KABUL, Afghanistan — Scenes of chaos and calamity continue to unfold in and around Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, as thousands of embattled Afghans purport to push through Taliban barricades and escape the country before the Taliban takes full power.In the latest blow to those running up against the clock, Afghan-Americans on Thursday said that Taliban fighters are now attempting to take their U.S. passports and identification orders in an attempt to stop them from leaving the country.“I got to the gates and was about to show my passport, but the Taliban got it, and he said you are not allowed to go through and wouldn’t give it back,”
ABC News did not air the full interview with President Joe Biden at the most critical moment of his presidency. While Americans are seeking answers on the disastrous Afghan withdrawal from a president who has been avoiding the press, the decision not to air Biden’s interview with George Stephanopoulos does not make sense from a journalistic ethics or ratings standpoint.
Biden’s interview was a disaster from top-to-bottom. There are numerous provable lies and half-truths in the interview that I provided in a Twitter thread, and were recounted separately by CNN. ABC News did release a full transcript of the interview, but there were at least seven parts that were not aired,
So much for a kinder, gentler Taliban

It’s not the same Taliban as 20 years ago, we’re told. They’re smarter, more mature, reformed.They’re looking to gain “legitimacy” in the eyes of the world, President Joe Biden claimed Friday. Their leaders are promising to respect women’s rights. They’ll provide safe passage to the airport to any American who wants to leave. They won’t punish those who fought against them, and they won’t harbor terrorists, as they did al Qaeda in 2001.It’s all a lie.Just look at the images of women and children covered in blood this week and militants patrolling the streets armed with “peaceful” rocket launchers.
After a disastrous week, President Biden tried Friday to clean up the mess surrounding his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. He aimed to be all things he hasn’t been — clear, resolute and compassionate.Strike one, strike two, strike three.Biden didn’t just fail. He made everything worse. His lies, contradictions and occasional incoherence must be ringing alarm bells across the United States and among our allies around the world.For our adversaries, Biden is a gift that keeps on giving.This was his third speech in the last five days on the unfolding crisis in Kabul, and the president should bring a shovel to the next one.

The San Diego County, Calif., Board of Supervisors got on earful about COVID-related vaccine and mask mandates during an intense public meeting on Tuesday that lasted nearly five hours. More than 100 local residents expressed themselves subject to an apparent two-minute time limit. And they made the most of their opportunity in front of the microphone. Many in the room spoke forcefully against government health orders that they feel infringe on personal freedom through coercion, including two citizens in particular who attracted a lot of attention on social media.
A British lawmaker delivered a passionate speech that provided a remarkable contrast to the bloodless, callous, and incomprehensible remarks delivered by U.S. President Joe Biden on his disastrous Afghan withdrawal. British MP Tom Tugendhat, a UK Conservative Party politician and Afghanistan War veteran, decried President Biden for calling “into question the courage of men I fought with” in a passionate speech delivered on Wednesday. (Video) “Like many veterans, this last week has been one that has seen me struggle through anger and grief and rage,” Tugendhat said. “The feeling of abandonment of not just a country, but the sacrifice that my friends made.”
Fewer than 40 percent of likely voters believe Joe Biden is carrying out the duties of the presidency, according to a poll released Friday as the US evacuation of Afghanistan continues to spiral out of control. The survey from Rasmussen Reports found that just 39 percent of respondents thought that Biden was “doing the job of president,” while 51 percent answered that “others are making decisions” for the 78-year-old, and 10 percent said they were not sure. That represents a drastic drop from a similar poll conducted in March, when the response to that question was evenly divided 47-47.
Questions have been raised about US President Joe Biden's cognitive wellbeing after a car crash interview over his handling of the unfolding Afghanistan crisis. America's oldest president provided jumbled responses to questions and mixed up details about his son in an interview with ABC.The stumbles did not make the broadcasted version but were revealed when a full transcript of the interview was published overnight. It revealed the President incorrectly stated his late son Beau Biden worked for the Navy in Afghanistan, before correcting himself that he served for the Army in Iraq.
As the Biden administration scrambles to evacuate American personnel from Afghanistan, it is overlooking the Taliban's plans to seize some $10 billion in assets held by Afghanistan's central bank, according to congressional foreign policy leaders.Somewhere between $18 and $20 million in cash sits in the Afghan central bank's vaults and is likely to fall into the Taliban's hands unless the United States attempts to intercept the funds and fly them out of the country—a scenario that sources say is unlikely as the Biden administration struggles to pull Americans out of Taliban-controlled Kabul.

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?

According to a new report from conservative journalist Jack Posobeic, President Joe Biden is not sleeping well and wants to go home to Delaware after taking a separate vacation last weekend.“Biden telling staff he wants to go back to Delaware. Hasn’t been sleeping well all this week. Thinks he will be more functional if he stays over at home in Wilmington,” Posobeic reported.Just an hour after Posobiec dropped this tweet, WMAL News reported that Biden would in fact be going home to Wilmington, Delaware for a long weekend.“President Biden, who has spent the last few days traveling between the White House and Camp David, is scheduled to head to Delaware

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.

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.”

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
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,
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
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
WASHINGTON — For months, the Biden administration was stockpiling military equipment for the Taliban before the collapse of the Afghan government. The report comes from Reuters who shares that well over a month before the Taliban’s march across the country, the Biden administration was sending military equipment to Afghanistan amid a “planned withdrawal.”
