I mean, you’ve got to be kidding me. In the friendliest of settings, Joe Biden still just doesn’t get it. An interview with former Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos shows a president who simply cannot take responsibility for his screw-up. We have at least 10,000 Americans trapped in Afghanistan. There seems to be no solid plan to get them out safely other than entrusting the Taliban, a terrorist group, not to attack them as some undoubtedly are trying to make their way to the airport in Kabul. Then again, our government said that they cannot guarantee their safety.

Run out of office, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is keeping it all in the family — all his belongings, that is.Before he gets evicted from the governor’s mansion Monday, the disgraced three-term governor’s belongings were trucked down to his sister’s house in Westchester via a pair of U-Hauls, The Post has learned.The home in Westchester County’s Purchase — about 14 miles south of where he once lived with ex-longtime girlfriend Sandra Lee — is owned by Maria Cole and her hubby Kenneth Cole, the famous fashion designer, according to property records and reports.Cuomo has — at the very least — stored some of his possessions from the governor’s mansion in Albany
Minutes after President Biden on Friday said the mission to destroy Al Qaeda in Afghanistan was a success and that he knew of no circumstances where Americans had been unable to reach Kabul airport, he was flatly contradicted by the Pentagon. Al Qaeda remains present in Afghanistan, said Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby during a briefing, and yes, he was aware of reports of Americans being beaten by the Taliban as they tried to reach safety.The contradiction will raise further doubt about whether Biden is in control of the White House messaging operation, let alone the chaotic effort to bring Americans home.He cancelled plans to return home to Wilmington
CULLMAN, Ala. – On Saturday, York Family Farm will play host to former President Donald J. Trump’s Rally sponsored by Save America and the Alabama Republican Party, beginning at 2 p.m.Rally organizers are stressing the importance of arriving earlier in the day, opposed to closer to time when former Pres. Trump is to take the stage.“Though doors open at 2 p.m., we are encouraging everyone to arrive as early as possible to avoid long lines and traffic jams,” stated a media release sent Thursday evening. “There will be food vendors setup both inside and outside of the venue to help ease the wait.
Former Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill, who killed Osama bin Laden said Friday that he could rescue Americans in Afghanistan with “nine guys” and urged the Biden administration to not “ask permission from the enemy.”
WATCH: (Video) “Look, I don’t want to be in charge but if I was, oh I want to get the Americans? Cool. Give me nine guys: I’m going to walk through the streets and I’m going to kill everyone I see and I’m going to grab the Americans,” O’Neill told “Fox News Primetime.”“It’s not difficult. But we have these people who are in charge that are a disgrace.”
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.

You’re a Piece of Sh*t’ 38 replies
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 cop who fatally shot US Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt as she stormed the building was exonerated after an internal police investigation, according to a report Friday. “No further action will be taken” in the use-of-force probe of the United States Capitol Police officer, whose name has not been released, NBC reported, citing an internal memo from the department. The Capitol Police’s report clearing him concludes the last remaining law enforcement investigation into the shooting, according to the outlet.(Snip)The internal investigation backs up a statement by the Justice Department in April declaring that no charges will be brought against the cop, who is reportedly a “high ranking”
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
Incredibly cynical and depressing. And quite possibly correct.
“The public opinion is pretty damn clear that Americans wanted out of the ongoing war and don’t want to get back in. It’s true today and it’s going to be true in six months,” said one Biden ally. “It isn’t about not caring or being empathetic about what’s going on over there, but worrying about what’s happening in America.”…
White House officials believe Americans’ horror over graphic images of the chaos in Kabul and pleas from Afghans who fear they will be killed
During the presidential campaign, the Biden administration introduced a new word into the lexicon: a “lid.” His campaign has called a lid countless times without explanation, meaning it was cutting off all media appearances for that day.
Joe Biden went on vacation to Camp David just before Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and gave no public remarks on the matter until more than 24 hours after the fall of Kabul. That was a speech Biden delivered from the White House Monday, after which he took no questions from the media.
He went silent again, then delivered another speech on Wednesday, this time on COVID. He took no media questions
The Taliban has seized US weapons left in Afghanistan worth billions — possibly including 600,000 assault rifles, some 2,000 armored vehicles, and 40 aircraft, including Black Hawks, according to reports.
The US gave the Afghan military an estimated $28 billion in weaponry between 2002 and 2017 — including seven brand new helicopters delivered to Kabul just a month ago.
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett refused Friday to block the construction of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago as demanded by an environmental group. The groundbreaking for former President Barack Obama‘s namesake library and presidential archives center began earlier this week, but Protect Our Parks, an environmental advocacy group, asked the high court to stop the construction. The group lost multiple requests in lower courts to halt the construction of the Obama center because it is located in a public park, Jackson Park on Chicago‘s South Side.(Snip)The activists argued that 800 trees would be destroyed around the park and affect birds.
President Joe Biden will return to Delaware on Friday to resume his vacation, but first, he will deliver a speech about the disaster unfolding in Afghanistan.
The president is scheduled to deliver remarks at 1:00 p.m., specifically about the process of evacuating American citizens, SIV applicants, and “vulnerable Afghans,” the White House announced.
It is unclear whether the president will take questions after his speech, as he has quickly exited the room after delivering speeches this week.
The president struggled to answer basic questions about his failure in Afghanistan in an interview with ABC News, appearing stubborn
As we approach the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks it is interesting to look back and see how American culture has changed in that two-decade time span. Back then mainstream culture (sorta) rallied around God and country against our enemy, the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Today the culture sees those same people that believe in God and country as bad or worse than the Taliban.
In the wake of the Afghanistan debacle, demands have arisen in Congress for President Biden to resign or to be removed via the 25th Amendment. Elements of the formerly pro-Biden media have joined in the condemnation.
Many silent Democrat office holders likely want Biden out, as they fear the systemic incompetence of his administration will bring them down come 2022.
But Joe can not resign or be fired. The Democrat high command will not let either happen (snip) As soon as Kamala Harris takes the presidential oath, the vice-presidency is left vacant. In that case a tie vote means the legislation, resolution, or confirmation under consideration fails.
How Big Is the Angry Majority?
21 replies
In an article last week, I posited that the silent majority in America is angry and becoming loud. A reader — we'll call him Lloyd — sent me the following: "Trump-supporters are neither silent nor the majority ... and if we had a straight-up popular vote of what the majority of the people want, you'd never win again." I believe that's a challenge to my assumptions. Are conservatives really a majority, or are they just using the Electoral College to occasionally cheat the "will of the people" to win as a minority?
The second part of Lloyd's statement implies that Republicans have an unfair advantage due to the Electoral College.
