Too Early

The White House this week prematurely celebrated the success of President Joe Biden's evacuation of U.S. citizens and allies from Afghanistan. Administration officials boasted that they were "over performing" their own metrics and "defying expectations," even comparing the withdrawal operation to the Berlin airlift.On Thursday, that characterization of the evacuation effort fell apart, as suicide bombers struck the gates of the Kabul airport and killed at least a dozen American service members and 60 Afghans.

The Taliban deployed extra forces around Kabul’s airport Saturday in a bid to prevent large crowds as the US-led effort to evacuate people from Afghanistan races toward an Aug. 31 deadline.The move to seal off the airport comes two days after a deadly attack which killed nearly 200, including 13 US service members.Officials warned Americans to avoid the airport because of security threats, and told those desperately waiting at the gates to leave, Reuters reported.Taliban forces on Saturday fired warning shots and deployed some kind of colored smoke on a road leading to the airport, sending dozens of people scattering, The Associated Press reported.
Fox News host Jesse Watters broke down the laundry list of military weapons the Biden administration left in Afghanistan that are now the property of the Taliban.Watters noted on “Fox News Primetime” Friday that thanks to President Joe Biden’s botched exit from Afghanistan, not only are Americans being left behind but so are a “treasure trove” of military weapons that “set our enemy up pretty nicely.”“They’ve just inherited billions of dollars worth of guns, war vehicles, and aircraft. In fact, reports say that the Taliban now has more Black Hawk helicopters than 85 percent of countries in the world,” Watters explained.
Calls to impeach President Joe Biden are growing in tenor in the wake of the disastrous and deadly attack on U.S. military personnel and Afghan civilians in Kabul. Rep.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.The South Carolina lawmaker said in a statement that he feels it’s time to remove Biden following his “gross negligence” that lead to the Taliban retaking Afghanistan

Joe Biden’s first half-year in office concluded with a string of disasters and failures to deliver on his campaign rhetoric.Afghanistan: Of course, the list must begin with Biden’s hideously bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, a debacle that claimed the lives of 13 American military personnel on Thursday.Biden’s Afghanistan disaster is likely to haunt the United States for years to come. Terrorists are emboldened far beyond the previous Democrat administration’s Islamic State disaster, which blew jihadi recruiting through the roof while President Barack Obama helplessly dithered,
Hurricane Ida is gathering strength as it barrels toward the US Gulf Coast, prompting evacuations in flood-prone New Orleans and offshore oil rigs along the storm's path. The storm could reach a Category 4 designation on the Saffir-Simpson scale by the time it makes landfall, forecasters warned, generating winds up to 140 miles per hour and submerging a mass of Louisiana shoreline under several feet of rainfall.After battering Cuba on Friday with 80 mile per hour winds, Ida began churning northwest this morning, the National Hurricane Center said.
All 13 US troops slain by an ISIS-K suicide bomb attack in Kabul on Thursday have been identified, with the haunting final images of one female Marine showing her escorting evacuees days before her death.

The identities of the 13 US service members who were killed by an ISIS-K suicide bomber outside the Kabul airport while helping to oversee the evacuation of thousands of Americans and Afghan allies have begun to emerge. The names of one Navy corpsman, nine Marines, and one Army soldier killed in Thursday’s blast have been released, while the identities of an additional Marine and one Army soldier have yet to be disclosed while the military works to inform their families. “We continue to mourn the loss of these Marines and pray for their families. Our focus now is taking care of the families of those who were killed
President Biden’s approval rating is now under water, RealClearPolitics’ Friday average showed. RCP’s polling data average showed the 78-year-0ld president’s approval rating in the negatives, with 48.4 percent disapproving and 47.4 approving, the week the crisis in Afghanistan reached a tragic, deadly breaking point resulting in 13 U.S. servicemembers killed — the largest single-day loss for U.S. servicemembers since 2011. Even prior to the deadly suicide bombings in Kabul, Biden’s approval had been suffering, sinking to Rasmussen Reports’ all-time low of 44 percent approval this week.
Americans still hoping to get on evacuation flights out of Kabul’s international airport were warned by the State Department late Friday to get away from the airport gates “immediately” in an eerie echo of a warning sent hours before Thursday’s deadly suicide blast.The latest alert from US Embassy staff — posted early Saturday morning, Afghanistan time — advised American citizens to “avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates” due to “security threats” It then added that US citizens “who are at the Abbey gate, East gate, North gate or the New Ministry of Interior gate now should leave immediately.”

President Biden on Friday said he and Dr. Anthony Fauci discussed requiring COVID-19 booster shots every five months rather than every eight as previously anticipated. The shorter timeframe would increase the number of vaccine doses that the US will need to set aside for booster shots—as poorer nations clamor for more US donations. “The question raised is should it be shorter than eight months? Should it be as little as five months? That’s being discussed. I spoke with Dr. Fauci this morning about that,” Biden said in the Oval Office during a visit from Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
The deep grief on President Biden’s face as his eyes swelled with tears was painful to watch. But his personal suffering cannot exonerate him from the responsibility for what happened in Kabul. Nor can his obscenely shameful effort to shift the blame to former President Donald Trump and even his own military commanders be taken seriously. Biden says the buck stops with him, but he doesn’t really mean it.When the enemy strikes with deadly results, it’s somebody else’s fault. That’s not leadership and it certainly isn’t presidential.
One of the things that disgusted conservatives following news of the bloody terrorist attack in Kabul that killed twelve Marines and one Navy corpsman was the fact that Nancy Pelosi, during a public appearance in San Francisco, not only didn’t mention, she was also in an exceptionally jovial, joking mood. My bet is that this wasn’t mere callousness on her part. (snip) I believe that the reason Pelosi is behaving in this way is to keep her base from realizing that something bad happened. It’s a form of gaslighting that involves her shaping their reality through lies, not to drive them crazy, but to keep them ignorant.
So why did the Capitol Hill cop come out?

After months of supposed hiding, the Capitol Hill cop who shot unarmed pro-Trump protestor Ashli Babbitt at the Capitol, Lt. Michael Byrd has come out of the woodwork to talk about his shooting, in a softball interview with NBC's Lester Holt. Which is weird stuff, given that for months his identity had been concealed, by investigators, Congress, and other supposed watchdogs, on the grounds that revealing it to angry Trump supporters was too dangerous, and whose investigative conclusions excused him from accountability.
Now he's come out -- telling Lester Holt of his great heroics. He doesn't even need to, having been exonerated repeatedly.
The most likely reason is this lawsuit,
Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller of the United States Marine Corps revealed Friday afternoon that he has been relieved of duty for posting a video criticizing military leaders for failing to take responsibility for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.In the video, Scheller, a 17-year Marine Corps officer, said that he knew he was risking his career by speaking out, but that he wanted to explain why so many service members were frustrated, in the wake of the terror attack on U.S. forces in Kabul on Thursday.“The reason people are so upset on social media right now is not because the Marine on the battlefield let someone down. …
Robert F. Kennedy's assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, was granted parole by a California board Friday after spending more than 50 years in prison after two of his sons said they support his release, a decision that still needs to be approved by the governor.
Sirhan gunned down Kennedy, then a Democratic U.S. Senator from New York and brother of President John F. Kennedy, in 1968 at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles moments after Kennedy delivered a victory speech in the pivotal California primary. Sirhan was convicted of first-degree murder.
Sirhan, a Christian Palestinian from Jordan, has said he was angry at Kennedy for his support of Israel.
Until recently, the practice of medicine was based more on science, less on science fiction. (snip) evidence today has taken a back seat to wishful thinking — or is it an agenda? (snip) This science fiction story begins with the 2019 "virus" and 2020 "vaccine." A selection of the story's chapters include a virus of which the CDC claimed not to possess a reference sample. A vaccine that did not fit the definition of a vaccine. Approval of a vaccine for which the studies had not reached clinically important endpoints.
