After Robert Reeder was arrested in February and charged with four misdemeanors for his involvement in the Capitol protest on January 6, he lost his job as a truck driver for FedEx. “As a result of his arrest in this matter, he has been placed on administrative leave/has been terminated,” Reeder’s attorney wrote(snip)“He has not been able to secure steady employment since being charged in this matter.” Reeder, like many Americans who attended Donald Trump’s speech then walked to Capitol Hill, went alone.

Online “Sedition Hunters”, aided by reporters from the likes of the Huffington Post, have gotten charges added in Reeder’s case - and brag about it.

The message is quite clear. Criticize the government, and lose everything.

Driving for FedEx is top notch. I am finding it hard to believe he can’t find a job as a truck driver though. By and large, we’re a conservative group of people.

To all of those who are enabling and normalizing the arrest and imprisonment of political prisoners in this country, one day the other side will be in power and then what will you do?

Re #3, a read of the article describes how they are adding on charges, and he won’t be sentenced until October. He was going to get two months; now they’re aiming for six or longer. That makes it easier to understand his inability to get a new job.

Doubtless you have read or heard comments like those of the TV journalist Jen Griffen about Joe Biden’s brief remarks on Friday regarding Afghanistan. “I’m having a hard time digesting what we heard,” she said, “because I couldn’t fact-check it fast enough in real-time because there were so many misrepresentations of what is happening on the ground.” Bottom line: “This was just an alternate reality that was presented to us from the White House.” I presume what she had in mind were statements by Biden like this: “We know of no instance where the Taliban are not letting our citizens through the checkpoints freely.”

A new report found that, in the 2020 election, almost 15 million mail-in ballots were unaccounted for—meaning that their whereabouts are deemed “unknown” by election officials. Meanwhile, four days ago, the director of the National Institute of Health (NIH) said during an interview that the reason kids are being forced to wear masks in school isn’t necessarily because they are in danger of infection, but rather so that the school districts don’t shut down classrooms.Over in Florida, a group of parents were so concerned their kids were being forced to wear masks all day long at school that they had their kids’ used masks sent for laboratory testing.

This has gone so badly that even people and institutions that are normally sympathetic to Biden and his party have noticed. American allies have been appalled, and vocal about it.

Throughout his candidacy, presidency, and reelection campaign, Donald Trump was targeted by the deep state, which undertook to subvert, defeat, and destroy him. (snip) Unlike so many of Biden’s open supporters(snip), it is impossible to quantify how much the deep state contributed to him. But it is indisputable the deep state is part of Biden’s core constituency. To date, Biden has handsomely rewarded these constituencies, and damn near everyone else, with your tax dollars, executive orders, and whatnot—except for one. And this core constituency he not only stiffed, he screwed. This explains why the mockingbird media has begun to turn on Biden, and a Democratic-controlled Congress is scheduling hearings and demanding answers

Democrats and Republicans are right to blame each other for the fall of Kabul. It’s a loss for America’s bipartisan foreign policy establishment as a whole. For nearly two decades Washington sent thousands of Americans to their deaths and spent trillions of taxpayer dollars to wage a strategically pointless war. And because both sides of the political divide should be held accountable, military as well as civilian officials, too, it is unlikely that anyone ever will be. Since everyone is to blame, holding anyone accountable implicates everyone.

The United States Supreme Court on Friday blocked the reinstatement of the “Remain in Mexico” program, intervening just hours before President Joe Biden’s administration would have had to restart the policy. Justice Samuel Alito, a George W. Bush nominee, in a one-page order stayed a ruling that was poised to go into effect on Saturday. That ruling would have forced the Biden administration to restart the Trump era program, formally known as the Migrant Policy Protocols (MPP).

Former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker said Friday that he has “some grave questions” about President Biden’s “ability to lead our nation as commander-in-chief” after the Taliban seized control of the country following U.S. troop withdrawal. “I’m left with some grave questions in my mind about his ability to lead our nation as commander-in-chief,” Crocker, who led the U.S. Embassy in Kabul from 2002 to 2003, then again from 2011 to 2012, told The Spokesman-Review. “To have read this so wrong – or, even worse, to have understood what was likely to happen and not care,” he added.

The Taliban face a frontal challenge in cementing control of Afghanistan: Money. Despite their dominant military blitz over the past week, the Taliban lack access to billions of dollars from their central bank and the International Monetary Fund that would keep the country running during a turbulent shakeup. Those funds are largely controlled by the U.S. and international institutions, a possible leverage point as tense evacuations proceed from the airport in the capital of Kabul.

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.

DETROIT – General Motors on Friday said it is expanding its recent recall of Chevrolet Bolt EVs to newer models of the electric car due to potential fire risks. The recall expansion is expected to cost the automaker an additional $1 billion, bringing the recall’s total to $1.8 billion to replace potentially defective battery modules in the vehicles. About 73,000 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada are being added to the recall from the 2019-2022 model years, including a recently launched larger version of the car called the Bolt EUV. The former recall involved about 69,000 of the cars globally, including nearly 51,000 in the U.S.

The Biden administration was forced to close the Kabul airport as the chaotic, catastrophically planned evacuation of American citizens from Afghanistan is overwhelming state department employees with too much paperwork. There are thousands of people — mostly Afghan civilians who collaborated with the U.S. military — waiting at the airport to be rescued. According to the British military, seven Afghans have died at the airport from the heat and the crush of people. SIS has issued a warning to Americans looking to leave Afghanistan. This precipitated a warning from the U.S. embassy for Americans to avoid going to the airport. Does Biden expect people to walk home from Afghanistan?
