Tell that to the Abandoned: CBS Rips Biden
Admin Spinning Afghan Crisis

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/31/2021 1:28:42 AM

With the final military planes off the tarmac and out of Afghan airspace, the Biden administration was desperate to try to paint their deadly disaster as some sort of success. Each of the press secretaries and top officials at the White House, State Department, and Pentagon parroted the same talking point that it was the largest airlift in U.S. history. But CBS News popped their bubble Monday as they pointed out how the “hundreds” of Americans they abandoned in the terrorist haven would beg to differ. During their Special Report break-in for the Pentagon press conference with U.S. CENTCOM General Kenneth McKenzie, senior White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe seemed taken aback

So, the question becomes: are the Alphabets REALLY “reporting,” (see articles posted below). Or is this a coordinated effort to start undermining Xiden for his soon departure?

U.S. citizens were left behind with no care from the ENTIRE administration. Where in the h#ll is Kamala? During the entire thing she has been hanging out in Asia. Every General/Adminal and Defense secretaries involved in this tragedy need to be court-martial and hung. Every State Department person involved in this horror needs to be arrested for treason. Then the two clowns (Biden/Kamala) need to be dragged out of the WH and impeached. Where are the republicans on this???

Suppose Biden purposely left those people there so the Taliban could have a good source of revenue for years to come by demanding money from the USA for their release? Remember this is the same guy who gave the Taliban $85b worth of military gear.

Sorry to sound so crass, but the only “Americans” worth saving are the ones who were ORDERED to be in Afghanistan. No American worth their salt remains in Afghanistan, especially since the transfer of power was planned long ago. I fully understand that this is largely a geriatric female forum but dammit, at what point do people stop being so naive as to believe “Americans” are running around Kabul in their jammies. Sheesh!!!

Biden's pre-planned abandonment of Americans and Afghan allies is a window into his addled mind. The ease with which he has cheated and lied is something American adults have repeatedly observed. Still, his lack of conscience in leaving Americans and their Afghan interpreters behind... to be hunted down using the LIST his administration provided the Taliban... confirms he lacks the intellectual and moral capacity to remain in the Oval Office.

Afghanistan is supposedly a country the size of Texas. Biden and his apologists only refer to Americans in Kabul. Thats like saying all Texans are in Austin. I think many thousands of Americans are trapped throughout Afghanistan but Biden flat doesn't care. A week ago, I predicted that Biden would lie about Americans who do not want to leave Afghanistan. That is an excuse for abandoning Americans, period.

Pumping sunshine up the collective arses of Americans about this debacle is about like setting fire to one's own house and then bragging to the press about how you singlehandedly saved your family from the inferno. They purposefully downplayed bringing out the Americans because they knew they were scattered all around the country. Why in hell didn't they give them sufficient notice to gather their belongings and get to the Kabul airport is beyond dereliction of duty. Bidet is evil to the bone.

There’s an interesting story in the Wall Street Journal today about the declining enrollment of men in 2 and 4-year colleges. This gender enrollment disparity is a trend that has been happening for a while now, but at this point the divergence between men and women is becoming pretty dramatic. At the close of the 2020-21 academic year, women made up 59.5% of college students, an all-time high, and men 40.5%, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of enrollment data from the National Student Clearinghouse, a nonprofit research group. U.S. colleges and universities had 1.5 million fewer students compared with five years ago, and men

Jean-Paul Belmondo, whose bad-boy presence in Jean-Luc Godard’s new wave masterpiece “Breathless” established him as the French idol of his generation, has died, Variety has confirmed. He was 88. For more than a decade following the release of “Breathless,” Belmondo reigned as one of France’s top box office stars. The actor was likened alternately to James Dean, Humphrey Bogart and Marlon Brando for his brooding, charismatic persona, and he proved able to work in virtually any genre. After “Breathless,” the cult that formed around him was dubbed le belmondisme by the French media. Unlike Dean, who was a rebel without a cause, Belmondo’s antihero persona was more existential

You can almost hear the wailing. If the media wants to keep up the COVID-19 panic porn, they will have to pick on a Democrat governor. Right now, Oregon Governor Kate Brown is seeing a significant surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in her state, just like Hawaii experienced concurrent with the red states in the Southeast. But if the media talks about Hawaii and Oregon, they have to point out that these states enforced some of the strictest restrictions and mask mandates, and cases surged anyway. That can’t happen. The corporate media prefers to portray Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as incompetent and generally fails spectacularly.

The CDC has released statistics concerning the plight of children hospitalized for COVID-19. Over the last year and a half, there’s been no more hotly debated topic than that of the coronavirus. Fierce arguments have erupted online, school board meetings have turned tense, store confrontations have gotten ugly, and social media users have been censored. And at the center of many a fight: America’s approximately 73 million children. So what are the real numbers where the pandemic and America’s young progeny are concerned? On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), and it shines a light on the situation.

The ministry announced Jan Hecker’s “sudden death” in a short statement in the early hours of Monday. It didn’t give details of when or where Hecker died, or specify a cause of death. Hecker, who became ambassador in August, was married and had three children, according to his biography on the Foreign Ministry website. He arrived in China on Aug. 1 and presented his credentials on Aug. 24, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

Joe Biden promised to control the coronavirus pandemic, and he is failing. Today, there are more new coronavirus cases than there were at this point in 2020. The economy is sputtering, and parents are starting to worry that schools will close once again. Moreover, FDA officials are resigning in protest at the White House’s effort to impose booster shots that they say are not yet supported by scientific evidence — breaking a central Biden campaign promise to “follow the science.” Biden has repeatedly touted his administration’s success in distributing coronavirus vaccines. But Biden has followed the plans left for him by the Trump administration, which not only developed the vaccines

McCaul said the Taliban is making demands while blocking the aircrafts’ departure, effectively creating a hostage situation.

The federal minimum wage in the U.S. has remained glued at $7.25 an hour for the last 12 years, the longest stretch without a boost since it was first adopted in 1938. Yet there's another revealing figure that underscores how the minimum wage — created by Congress after the Great Depression as a way to ensure that Americans were fairly paid for their labor — has failed to keep up with the times. Even as workers have been more industrious — helping drive corporate profits, the stock market and CEO compensation to record heights — their pay has flatlined, or even declined when factoring

Daily coronavirus infections are more than four times what the U.S. was seeing on Labor Day last year, or a 316% increase, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. And daily deaths are almost twice as high. Blame the highly contagious delta variant and a swath of Americans refusing easily accessible vaccines that most of the developing world is furiously scrambling to obtain. Hospitalizations are up 158% from a year ago, U.S. Health and Human Services data shows. The result: Some U.S. hospitals are getting so crowded with COVID-19 patients that physicians may soon be compelled to make life-or-death decisions
Is Joe Biden Senile or Just Dumb? 31 replies

Sometimes it is difficult to know whether or not Joe Biden is senile or just dumb. I know it’s tempting to ascribe everything he does to his dementia, but he’s been stupid for his whole life. Even people suffering from dementia have moments of lucidity, so it’s really impossible to know what is the true motivation behind the President’s asininity. The effects and the facts of it, however, are easy and important to dissect, because whether it’s due to him losing his grip on reality, that he’s just a very simple and dumb man, or a combination of both doesn’t really matter, what matters is the end result.
