Afghanistan Surrender Was A Tragedy Biden Caused; Now He's Blaming Others -

 The Lid (lidblog.com)

"The White House issued a bewildering 12-page report two weeks ago, defending their calamitous surrender in Afghanistan 20 months ago. This was such gaslighting that even corporate media pushed back.

"The death of 13 American military personnel, hundreds of thousands of Afghans seeking to escape the chaos, and girls who can no longer receive an education, made CBS deem the withdrawal “one of the darkest moments of the Biden presidency to date.”

"Yet the White House chose to double down on its grievous errors, declaring that Joe Biden “is very proud” of how it was carried out and insisting the evacuation was chaos free. In reality, the operation was an international catastrophe, and its consequences have been tragic.

"Biden ruined much of what our military accomplished during two decades of sacrifice in Afghanistan. The Taliban’s enormous strategic victory — with more than $7 billion worth of U.S. weapons, ammunition, aircraft, materiel, and vehicles — was given to them on a silver platter. Millions of civilians have plunged into destitution thanks to Biden’s rogue move. Many Afghans, who risked their lives to assist us, were left behind to face the wrath of the Taliban.

"The tumult that accompanied the haphazard retreat, with visions similar to Saigon’s fall, conveyed a message of American weakness that Vladimir Putin undoubtedly used as a red carpet to invade Ukraine a few months later.

"The Afghanistan debacle properly took a toll on Biden’s popularity. . ."

Navy SEAL Who Killed Bin Laden Reacts To Navy Drag Queen Digital 'Ambassador': 'I Can’t Believe I Fought For This Bullsh*t' ⋆ Conservative Firing Line

"As we and others reported, the U.S. Navy went full woke when it emulated Anheuser-Busch, using a so-called “non-binary” drag queen to work as a “digital ambassador” as part of its recruiting effort.  That prompted Rob O’Neill, the Navy SEAL who killed al Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden, to lash out at the Navy in a profane tweet.

“Alright. The U.S. Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I’m done. China is going to destroy us. YOU GOT THIS NAVY. I can’t believe I fought for this bullshit,” he said on Twitter.". . .

Dem’s Smear Campaign Against SCOTUS Conservatives Boomerangs On Sotomayor -

"You’d almost have to be blind not to notice the full-court press in the campaign to discredit GOP-nominated members of the Supreme Court.

"Oppo research has dug up stories about friends, relations, and travel — insinuating that these Justices have been somehow ‘on the take’ when, on closer inspection, there is no evidence of rulings being influenced, of improper gifts, or even any indication that the instances cited are equal to or less than similar gifts afforded to their Democrat-nominated counterparts.

"Wave after wave of critical stories come out as if to confirm everything Justice Thomas once said in his confirmation hearings about ‘high-tech lynchings.’ The attention is always laser-focused on what they can dig up about the conservative judges.

"Critics on the right are nearly unanimous in their condemnation of this tactic as a naked attempt to discredit some judges, so they can ‘fix’ the ‘problem,’ so they can control the one branch of government that is an impediment to their agenda.". . .

REPORT: Charges Against Hunter Biden May Be Imminent –

 

REPORT: Charges Against Hunter Biden May Be Imminent – PJ Media "A decision on whether to charge Hunter Biden is imminent in the investigation led by U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, according to sources cited by The Washington Post.

“ 'The people familiar with the matter said Weiss is nearing the end of his decision-making process, although they offered no specific timetable,” the report explains. “They cautioned that the probe has taken longer than some officials thought it would, frustrating some law enforcement officials, and conceivably could slow down again before a decision has been reached.”

"Biden’s lawyers reportedly met with prosecutors to receive an update on the case last week. Sources have claimed that Hunter Biden has received preferential treatment during the agency’s investigation, which has been ongoing for four years and reportedly involves potential tax crimes and gun-related charges. Two senior law enforcement sources told NBC News last month that most of the work on Hunter Biden’s case was completed around a year ago and expressed frustration over its mishandling.

“ 'Any decision could have a significant impact on President Biden, who just launched his reelection campaign, bringing national attention to a sensitive topic that aides often struggle to broach with the president,” the Washington Post admits. Newly released emails offer fresh evidence contradicting Joe Biden’s repeated denials of any knowledge regarding Hunter Biden’s business activities. The emails show that Hunter Biden was selling access to his father during the latter’s tenure as vice president under Barack Obama." . . .

The Biden 'Bribery' Report Shows Joe Must Go

  Katie Pavlich   "It’s official. President Joe Biden is running for re-election and taking Vice President Kamala Harris along with him. 

"In only two years at the White House, Biden has caused enormous damage to the country, threatened U.S. national security and weakened America throughout the world with his disastrous foreign policy.
 
"In his re-election video, Biden claims he’s standing up for the freedoms of Americans. Reality and Biden’s actions tell a different story.
 
"Biden has repeatedly targeted political opponents with the full force of the federal government and violated the fundamental rights of Americans. He’s destroyed the economy with sky-high inflation, implemented Marxist policies in the mortgage system (which will lead to another housing crisis) and forced hardworking Americans to pay off the student debt of wealthy degree holders. He’s made it a habit of tearing down fundamental American values about hard work and personal responsibility. All of this while partnering with his son Hunter to sell out the country to foreign adversaries.
 
"Biden talks about freedom, yet he’s targeting your Second Amendment rights with calls for gun bans and by signing executive orders. Government bureaucrats, with his endorsement, have violated the First Amendment through Big Tech censorship. Not to mention his efforts to fire thousands of Americans after they said no thank you to an ineffective vaccine.". . .

'The View' Somehow Managed to Get Even Worse as Writers' Strike Leaves Whoopi Totally Lost

So these women are not the bitter scolds we have thought them to be; that they voice the writer's opinions? Just as Joe Biden and KJP's words are those of someone in the bowels of the Democrat party! The Tunnel Dweller

 IJR  "It turns out, the legal department’s lawyers aren’t the only writers for “The View.”

"Most Americans who are even aware of ABC’s hour-long exercise in intellectual ineptitude probably look at “The View” like a particularly annoying happy hour in a college town: A collection of wealthy, ill-informed women voicing utterly conventional opinions on the “hot topics” of the day.

"But the Writers Guild of America strike that started Tuesday revealed there’s something else going on besides the usual limousine leftist echo chamber — and Whoopi Goldberg & Co. weren’t dealing with things particularly well.

At the top of the hour, Goldberg — the de facto ringmaster of the chattering circus — announced to the viewers of “The View” that the show was going on despite the writers’ strike, and the warts might show.

They showed — almost immediately.

At the top of the show, Whoopi warns that The View is not going to be funny for a while because all their writers are on strike.
"So, you're going to hear how it would be when it's, you know, slicked up. Okay?" pic.twitter.com/q9vHw7CXNJ

US Weakness Invites Iranian Attacks on Shipping in the Gulf

There is only two ways to respond to Iranian regime aggression: forceful military action, and by empowering the Iranian pro-democracy movement.

American Thinker   On Wednesday we learned that the Iranian regime has seized a second oil tanker recently in the Persian Gulf, forcing it to dock at an Iranian port under orders from the regime's "judiciary."

It was seized by Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Go-fast boats in the Strait of Hormuz. This remains the world's most important oil transit chokepoint, according to the US Energy Information Administration, where roughly 20% of the world’s oil transits every day.

"The Pentagon subsequently informed us that these two incidents were just the latest of fifteen cases since Biden came to the White House where Iran has threatened or attacked international shipping in the Persian Gulf region.

"These kind of attacks are unacceptable. The Iranians know that, and I guarantee you our enemies and adversaries know that. And yet the Iranians act with impunity. Why?

"For starters, they know the current U.S. President. Biden has been taking money and supporting pro-Tehran regime lobbyists since at least 2002, when a group of Tehran-supporters threw a fund-raiser for him in California that brought in $30,000.". . .

Soros-backed prosecutor mired in scandal resigns from office

  Fox News   "An embattled George Soros-bankrolled prosecutor in St. Louis resigned Thursday amid a legal effort by Missouri's attorney general to fire her for allegedly neglecting her duties.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, the city's top prosecutor, is stepping down following repeated, bipartisan calls for her resignation from officials across the state.

"Gardner's office tweeted her resignation letter, which was addressed to the people of St. Louis.

"Gardner is one of the first progressive prosecutors whom Soros, a liberal billionaire and Democrat mega-donor, bankrolled in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020. She announced last month that she would seek a third term. Her resignation is effective June 1.

"For years, Gardner's office has faced criticism for mishandling cases and office dysfunction. The final straw for Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey came in February, when a teenage volleyball player visiting St. Louis with her team was struck by a car and lost both of her legs.

"A man was charged in the crash with assault, armed criminal action and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license. He was out on bond awaiting trial for a separate armed robbery case despite violating the terms of his bond several dozen times.". . .
