Some School Board Members Resigning Amid Hostile Meetings –

  CBS Denver (cbslocal.com)  "A Nevada school board member said he had thoughts of suicide before stepping down amid threats and harassment. In Virginia, a board member resigned over what she saw as politics driving decisions on masks. The vitriol at board meetings in Wisconsin had one member fearing he would find his tires slashed.

"School board members are largely unpaid volunteers, traditionally former educators and parents who step forward to shape school policy, choose a superintendent and review the budget. But a growing number are resigning or questioning their willingness to serve as meetings have devolved into shouting contests between deeply political constituencies over how racial issues are taught, masks in schools, and COVID-19 vaccines and testing requirements.

"In his letter of resignation from Wisconsin’s Oconomowoc Area School Board, Rick Grothaus said its work had become “toxic and impossible to do.”

“ 'When I got on, I knew it would be difficult,” Grothaus, a retired educator, said by phone. “But I wasn’t ready or prepared for the vitriolic response that would occur, especially now that the pandemic seemed to just bring everything out in a very, very harsh way. It made it impossible to really do any kind of meaningful work.' ”. . . 

Biden Left Behind the Afghan Interpreter Who Helped to Rescue Him in 2008 –

  RedState

"Joe Biden has told a lot of stories over the years, most designed to puff himself up, and some of them with very little relationship to reality.

"But there’s one story that he tells that does have some relationship to reality — that’s the story of having to land in a helicopter in the woods of Afghanistan in 2008. He often told the story to add to his alleged foreign policy credentials when he was running for office.

From WaPo:

“If you want to know where al Qaeda lives, you want to know where [Osama] bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me,” he said on the campaign trail in October, just months after the February rescue. “Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down…in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are.”

"Now, Joe being Joe, there’s puffery there — they weren’t exactly near al Qaeda, and their helicopter was “forced down” by a snowstorm, not by any enemy action. But, it was true that it had to land and there was potential danger, given he was a U.S. senator and there with two other U.S. senators — Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE)."....

Taliban Sets Up Special Unit To Hunt Down Afghans Who Helped U.S. And Allied Forces

Legal Insurrection

"The Taliban has set up a special unit to hunt down Afghans who worked for the U.S. and Western allies, the New York Post reported on Friday. The operation is being led by the members of the Al Qaeda-linked Haqqani Network, a Taliban faction with a history of killing and kidnapping American service members and civilians in the region.

"The Taliban has reportedly seized U.S.-built biometric devices and could use them to target Afghans who helped U.S. troops and other agencies. This cache of information comes at a time when the Taliban in Kabul is conducting door-to-door searches looking for former Afghan government officials and security personnel. The Taliban has drawn up “kill lists” to eliminate the “enemies” of the newly-declared Islamic Emirate, UK’s Daily Mirror reported.

"There are also reports of U.S. handing out the names of American evacuees to the Taliban, making them potential targets for killings and hostage taking. “U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport,” The Politico reported on Thursday. The names were shared because the “Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport,” the new outlet added. It was an grave lack of judgement as Thursday’s Kabul airport bombing showed.

How Joe Biden's Wokeness Caused the Catastrophe in Afghanistan –

[WATCH] How Joe Biden's Wokeness Caused the Catastrophe in Afghanistan – PJ Media    "America is now reaping the wages of wokeness.

"Just about a week ago Afghanistan’s fall accelerated and spun wildly out of control. We now have thousands of Americans surrounded at an airport in the heart of Kabul, which is controlled by the Taliban.

"Joe Biden insists that there was no other way to withdraw from Afghanistan, but the fact is, it didn’t have to be this way. Numerous choices he has made in the name of wokeness have led the United States to this grim impasse, in which our enemies are emboldened like never before and even our closest allies hold him and us in contempt. He was supposed to be the expert adult in the room but he has behaved like an angry child and then left the room.

"Biden has gone out of his way to prioritize and impose wokeness across the entire government, beginning with his choice for vice president. He’s left the scene for an indefinite amount of time now, as the crisis worsens, leaving the nation with no credible national leadership. Our UN ambassador thinks a strongly worded letter will do the trick. The Pentagon because he made them woke and prioritized optics over operations, and now they have no plan to get us out of this inferno because he has left them under-equipped for it. At every turn, Joe Biden’s choices, such as the decision to abandon Afghanistan without warning to our allies during the well-known fighting season, and his decision to choose his cabinet based on woke intersectionality and not experience and credibility, created this historic disaster." and State Department helped create this debacle. . .

The Media Whitewashes Biden’s Afghanistan Blunders | The American Spectator 

"When the Biden administration’s feckless management of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan produced all too predictable chaos, the legacy media uncharacteristically reported on the debacle with remarkable candor. This was unsettling to a White House inured to obsequious coverage, and various administration officials have expressed frustration concerning the Fourth Estate’s unfavorable approach to the story. Inevitably, certain “journalists” echoed the complaint. New York Magazine’s Eric Levitz, for example, querulously insisted, “America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan has yet to cost our nation a single casualty.” The day after this was published, 13 Americans were murdered by Islamic State terrorists. In a New York Times column published on the day of this attack."   Via Lucianne
