 Infidel Bloggers   

"WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan this weekend killed Ayman al-Zawahri, who took over as al-Qaida leader after Osama bin Laden’s death in a U.S. raid. President Joe Biden was set to announce the killing Monday, delivering a significant counterterrorism win just 11 months after American troops left the country after a two-decade war.

"The strike, carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency, was confirmed by five people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity before Biden was set to brief the American people on the details of the operation in a 7:30 p.m. EDT address to the nation.

" 'Current and former officials began hearing Sunday afternoon that al-Zawahri had been killed in a drone strike, but the administration delayed releasing the information until his death could be confirmed, according to one person.

"White House officials declined to confirm al-Zawahri was killed but noted in a statement that the United States conducted a “successful” counterterrorism operation against a significant al-Qaida target, adding that "there were no civilian casualties.”. . .

Dems Mayors Cry Out For Help Now That Biden's Open Border Policies Are Affecting Them

Dems Mayors Cry Out For Help Now That Biden's Open Border Policies Are Affecting Them (townhall.com)   "Republican led-states are criticizing far-left politicians in Washington D.C. and New York City who are asking for help in dealing with the uptick of illegal migrants coming to their state. 

"Democrat mayors Eric Adams of New York City and Muriel Bowser of Washington D.C., is crying out for assistance with illegal migrants now that it is now affecting them, despite once looking past Biden’s border policies. 

"They are now blaming Arizona and Texas for sending illegal immigrants to their cities. However, Republicans argue that the Democrat-run cities are dealing with the side effects of their own party’s immigration policies. 

"Describing his city has being “overburdened,” Adams called out Texas and Arizona leaders by calling them “cowards.” 

“In some instances, families are arriving on buses sent by the Texas and Arizona governments, while in other cases, it appears that individuals are being sent by the federal government," Adams said. 

"However, a spokesperson for Gov. Greg Abbot (R-TX) hit back at Adam’s comments saying “Mayor Adams should check with President Biden if his administration is the one dumping migrants in his city, as they’ve been doing to Texas border towns for months.” 

"Gov. Doug Ducey (R-AZ) also put Adams in his place accusing him of not having his facts straight and needs to open his eyes to see what his party’s leaders are actually doing. 

“ 'The State of Arizona is providing voluntary transportation for asylum seekers only to Washington, D.C., not New York…President Biden created the crisis at the border — he’s failed to respond to calls for action and refuses to even visit the border, so we’re bringing the issue a little closer to home for him,” Ducey said in response. 

"Meanwhile, Bowser is also playing the blame game with Republicans.

" She has accused the governors of “tricking” illegal immigrants by transporting them to Washington, D.C. However, Abbott hit back saying that the only “lie” being told is by the Biden administration.". . .

Obama Hammered For 'Worst Tweet Ever' After Texas School Shooting -

Referred to by Joe Biden as "Barack and     I"Obama Hammered For 'Worst Tweet Ever' After Texas School Shooting - Analyzing America

  Analyzing America   "Barack Obama is facing severe backlash for attempting to link the deadly Texas school shooting in Uvalde, Texas to the death of George Floyd.

"At least 19 children and two teachers were killed this week at Robb Elementary School by an 18-year-old gunman. This is one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history.

"In response to the attack, Obama used his social platform to link the tragedy to the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. Two years ao, Floyd was killed while being held under the knee of Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin. Chauvin was later found guilty by a jury for second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.

"Obama said, “As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer.”

" 'His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him,” Obama added.". . .

Defining Recessions Down: Biden’s Pollyanna Act Won’t End Well – Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)  . . ."Trying to keep the nation’s spirits up during hard times is a legitimate role of the president. But these days Biden is less like FDR and more like Groucho Marx saying “who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?”

"By doing so, Biden not only insults the millions who are truly suffering today, he further undermines public confidence, diminishes what little respect people still have for him and other political leaders, and makes it all the harder to right the economic ship."

Up next: Redefining ‘depression’? - American Thinker   "Joe Biden and his administration are good at two things: lying and transitioning. Their latest attempt to re-define the word “recession,” is downright scary. It’s obvious that the American economy is “transitioning.” From Trump to Biden, the economy has transitioned from soaring to plummeting. Like a rock in a handkerchief.

"Transitioning to what? Considering the fact that everything the Bidens touch turns into Milorganite, I suggest that the fabulists around Biden start working on a new definition for “Depression.” No, not the deep, dark, sad feeling that we all suffer when contemplating the fact that our country is being run into the ground by an absurd collection of pronoun freaks, cross-dressers and nincompoops. That’s emotional depression.". . .
