Biden’s Botched Bug Out -

Clarice Feldman  "This week we were treated to a bloody horror show at Kabul Airport and a preposterous performance (a full day late) by a President who claimed responsibility and then quickly proceeded to shun it, blaming everyone else. As commander in chief, he was responsible for the disastrous consequences of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan by a plan only an idiot would have conceived or endorsed. What followed were continued lies from the Department of State, General Mark Milley, and probably the Department of Defense. Only individual Americans stood fast to preserve our tattered honor.

"The Biden Bug Out Plan was exactly the opposite of the plan President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had crafted. In that plan, our well-fortified base at Bagram, some 40 miles from Kabul, was to be the last thing shuttered. In Biden’s plan, it was the first. He had our troops turn off the lights and leave in the middle of the night without warning to the Afghani government, doubtless encouraging the rapid Taliban advance to Kabul. The President blamed the military for this decision, and General Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, seemed to concur, although even as he fell on his sword there was wiggle room, for he predicated it on the need to get the troops down to about 600 or 700, a decision only Biden could have made.  Essentially a military briefer conceded this by asserting the mission to withdraw was Biden’s and the emphasis on giving priority to protecting the embassy was also his. The Wall Street Journal explains how disastrous this nonsensical order of departure was.". . . More...

Bruce Springsteen Narrates Joe Biden's 'Hometown' Scranton Ad - Rolling Stone  
"Bruce Springsteen narrates and soundtracks a new campaign ad for Joe Biden that spotlights the Democratic candidate’s “hometown” of Scranton, Pennsylvania+.

“ 'Scranton, Pennsylvania. Here, success isn’t handed down. It’s forged in sweat, grit and determination,” Springsteen says over shots of life in the swing-state city. “This is his hometown. In Scranton, good times aren’t promised. But here, and in towns across America, times are harder than they ought to be. Lives are on pause, dreams on hold, futures in doubt.”

"The rocker adds of Biden, “He’s running to change that, to give working people the shot they deserve. An honest living for honest work, and a little piece** of mind at the end of the day. Because this place stays with him. These streets are a part of him. This is more than where he’s from; it’s who he’s for."...

“Convincing someone that Springsteen is fraudulent … now requires much less work from both him and you,’’ Washington Post pop music critic Chris Richards wrote ahead of Super Sunday.

CNN knew it before it happened! ISIS-K Commander Told CNN Before Kabul Bombing The Group Was Waiting To Strike… | Weasel Zippers

"And as usual, CNN did nothing but air it for ratings."  "Via The Hill:

An ISIS-K commander said in a CNN interview conducted two weeks before the terrorist organization’s deadly bombing attack on Kabul’s airport Thursday that the group was waiting for a time to strike.

In the interview, which first aired Friday, the insurgent group leader told CNN chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward that ISIS-K had been recruiting members to join its ranks and that it was waiting for U.S. and other foreign military forces to leave the country before it could start expanding further.

“When the foreigners and people of the world leave Afghanistan, we can restart our operations,” said the commander, who requested that his identity be concealed.

Taliban To Ban Music In Public In Afghanistan Because It's Un-Islamic

 BusinessTimes

"The Taliban has said it will ban music in public in Afghanistan because it is forbidden in Islam, despite the assurances given by the insurgent group that it will be more tolerant than it was two decades ago.

"The restriction on public playing of music acts as a return to one of the harshest policies of the Taliban in the 1990s.

"The previous emirate only allowed religious chants, with nearly all other forms of music forbidden because it was viewed as a distraction that could encourage evil thoughts.

"In an interview with The New York Times, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid laid out the group's plans to rule Afghanistan. From 1996 to 2001, music in public in the country was taboo, while the Taliban ruled the country.

" 'Music is forbidden in Islam... the only exception to the ban during the Taliban's original governance in Afghanistan was for some vocal religious pieces with no musical accompaniment," Mujahid said in quotes by the Times.

"The Taliban have long considered music a dangerous and deceitful influence. And with the insurgents in control of Afghanistan again, musicians are in hiding, afraid the Taliban will hunt them down.

" 'But we're just promoting arts and music and freedom of expression and we're not trying to harm anyone's culture," a local musician said.

"In reaction to reports the Islamic militants are already extracting vengeance against those who resisted them, Mujahid said the group wants to "build the future and forget what happened in the past.' " . . .

Joe Biden’s Catastrophic Judgment

  CarolineGlick.com  

"The Taliban’s seizure of control over Afghanistan will loom large over Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s visit with U.S. President Joe Biden next Thursday, and its implications are dire.

"As Taliban forces seized control of one Afghan province after another, and everyone who was paying attention recognized that the capital Kabul would soon follow, Biden went on a two-week vacation.

"The footage of the Taliban takeover of Kabul stunned the American public. The scenes of dozens of Afghans hanging off a U.S. military C-17 already wheeling down the runway at the Kabul airport, hoping desperately to be let inside or of people being taken out of their homes and shot by Taliban gunmen provoked a bipartisan outcry against Biden and his withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. So Monday, Biden took a break from his vacation.

"He flew to the White House. He gave a speech. And he flew back to his vacation.

"Biden spoke with undisguised irritation. Biden blamed his predecessor Donald Trump for sigining  a deal with the Taliban to remove the residual U.S. forces from the country. He blamed the Afghan military and government which collapsed after the U.S. retreat. And he blamed U.S. intelligence agencies, which he said had not anticipated the Taliban’s swift takeover of the country."...

"And he praised himself for having the gumption to remove U.S. forces from the country."...

But to her horror, within days of their arrival, the Taliban seized the country’s capital. I spoke with her on August 20, just five days after Kabul fell to the Taliban. K was overwhelmed with emotions of fear, despair, and betrayal, and emphasized the need for the “world to hear our cries.” As a mother, she was particularly afraid for the future of her country and the safety and security of her young children." ...

An Eagle was soaring through the air when suddenly it heard the whizz of an Arrow, and felt itself wounded to death. Slowly it fluttered down to the earth, with its life-blood pouring out of it. Looking down upon the Arrow with which it had been pierced, it found that the shaft of the Arrow had been feathered with one of its own plumes. “Alas!” it cried, as it died, “We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.”

"Glory and honor to the fallen in the Kabul bombing. Glory and honor to those Marines who defend the free world with courage and dedication, who fight our enemies, and resist, often despite the negligence of politicians. Love and prayers for them, their families and friends. God bless them. And all the contempt in the universe for their cowardly murderers.

"For today, I had written another installment of “Summer Satire,” that saga of articles with which we are having so much fun. But I have decided to press pause on it today. I am all for taking refuge in humor, especially when everything goes wrong, but today I felt that I had to make an exception. There are a lot of people who don’t feel like laughing. And, above all, there is something I simply can’t put off saying: Joe must resign. He has the last chance in his life to do something truly patriotic for America: resign. He must accept his ineptitude and walk away. Being at the helm of the White House is not child’s play. And while terrorists are to blame for what happened, Joe must take responsibility for the most disastrous and dangerous war retreat ever to have been witnessed. Even Siri, with a virus and no battery, would have planned the Afghanistan withdrawal better than Joe Biden.". . .

5. He is a fellow traveler of liberal interventionism
6. He hasn’t shown much original thought or initiative in foreign policy,

Greg Gutfeld Is Humiliating Liberal Late Night Hosts

 Source: The American Spectator

That was until the last decade of nonstop progressive film bombs and plummeting TV viewership only prompted [Hollywoke] to double down on intersectional insulation and anti-deplorable insults. The undeniable truth is they hate us more than they like profit.

. . ."On Tuesday, Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld (Gutfeld!) got higher ratings than both one-note liberal hosts Stephen Colbert (The Late Show, CBS) and Jimmy Fallon (The Tonight Show, NBC). Gutfeld drew 2.1 million viewers to Colbert’s 1.9 million and Fallon’s 1.2 million. Even better, Gutfeld won in the coveted 25-54 age range with 434,000 viewers, beating out Colbert’s 423,000 and Fallon’s 354,000.

"What must CBS and NBC be feeling to have their mighty networks beaten by Fox News, the frequent butt of their attempts at humor, and a comic right-wing pundit with a staff maybe 20 times smaller than their own?

"Gutfeld’s triumph is deserved not because he’s more conservative than the other two, but because he’s much funnier. Colbert and Fallon used to be, before they became embarrassing Democratic shills. They don’t tell jokes, they tell wokes. They don’t earn laughter from the audience, they get clapter — a Pavlovian response signifying audience agreement with their political point. A few genuine chuckles are more rewarding than five full minutes of clapter. And Gutfeld works for every single one."...

But there’s a new wave coming behind Gutfeld. It will drown Hollywoke like the Red Sea did the Egyptian army in that old two-part tome they never read, and in a manner even Ridley Scott couldn’t direct. Conservative artists who know what we’re doing have entered the arena. And to outcast traditionalist moviegoers, we say, “Keep watching the screens. Quality entertainment is on the way.”

Cawthorn calls on Harris to invoke 25th Amendment and impeach Biden as president over Afghanistan crisis – .

FR24 News

"U.S. Representative Madison Cawthorn, a new Republican from North Carolina, calls on Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment and impeach President Biden following the murderous and botched US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“ 'Our nation is at a critical point,” he wrote in a letter Thursday to Harris and the rest of the cabinet.

"He warned of China’s ambitions on the world stage, the resurgence of Russia, rising inflation, chaos on the southern border and other global predicaments threatening the United States – and called argues that tackling them would require strong and decisive leadership.

“ 'Joe Biden’s physical inability to lead is not a matter of political discussion – it’s a demonstrable fact,” Cawthorn told Fox News Thursday night. “He is not mentally fit to serve as President of the United States. “
