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

Nearly 90 retired Generals and Admirals call for Gen. Milley and Lloyd Austin to resign|

There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name).  These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.  From: Understanding Taqiyya ― Islamic Principle of Lying for the Sake of Allah - Nordskog Publishing

The Post Millennial

A group called the Flag Officers 4 America has published a press release demanding the “resignation of the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS).”

"The people in that position right now are Lloyd J. Austin III and General Mark A. Milley, respectively. Both military leaders who have had to face questions and scrutiny over the last weeks in the midst of the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Kabul, Afghanistan.

"According to the letter, the concerns from former military officials are that the US military gave up key locations like Bagram air base (alongside the manpower therein), in tandem with not having a concrete plan to evacuate citizens in the meantime."

. . . 

"The situation as it stands this evening is that the Biden administration formally ended their military presence in Afghanistan despite admitting several hundreds of Americans were left behind.

"President Biden said he trusts the Taliban* when it comes to how anyone else wants to get out.". . .

Verizon Endorses Anti-Police Speakers, Critical Race Theorists In Employee Training: Report -

The Police Tribune  "New York, NY – Telecommunications company Verizon has implemented a so-called “anti-racism” training for employees to help them decide whether they are “oppressed” or “oppressors” as they work to understand how racist the U.S. is, according to a whistleblower.

"The company has also been pushing employees to endorse a number of left-wing ideals, to include defunding law enforcement, according to investigative reporter Christopher Rufo.

"Rufo said a Verizon whistleblower handed him a slew of documents regarding the “Race & Social Justice” initiative the company established last year.

"Among the programs created through the initiative is the “Conscious Inclusion & Anti-Racism” race reeducation program for employees, which is laden with critical race theory concepts such as “white fragility” and “systemic racism,” Rufo noted.

"Verizon employees are given official company worksheets so they can list out their “race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, religion, education, profession, and sexual orientation” to help determine whether they are “oppressed” or an “oppressor,” according to Rufo." . . .

Biden’s Legacy Is Reducing The United States to Groveling

 Legal Insurrection

Biden’s debasement of our country should be a life-altering national call to action.

"Add up the damage of his 7 months in office. Serious damage to our energy independence. Making a mockery of our sovereignty on immigration and the border. Weaponizing federal law enforcement for political purposes. Obscene spending plans. All of this and more is serious and long lasting.

"But the unconditional surrender to the Taliban takes it to a different level. It’s a self-inflicted national humiliation in a way that canceling the Keystone Pipeline never will be.

"The observable damage is clear. Biden handed the Taliban and associated al-Qaeda terrorists thousands of American hostages without them having to take a single American hostage. We just left them behind enemy lines. Because of those hostages, we have no ability to recover or destroy billions of dollars of military equipment. We armed our enemy.

"It’s a national humiliation in which we are forced to beg for the mercy of the least merciful people in the globe. Biden’s legacy is reducing the United States to groveling.

"Biden also deprived us of our 9/11 memory. The lasting memory of 9/11 was not just the attack, it was the national recovery. By setting 9/11 as the date for all American soldiers to be out of Afghanistan, and carrying it out in a way to debase ourselves, Biden ensured that 9/11 would be both a bitter memory and an annual humiliation.

"But it’s not just Biden who is the problem. The senior leadership of the military has lost credibility. And Biden in many ways is a figurehead for a deep-seated Team Obama and progressive visceral dislike of our country, our economic system, and our national pride. They are not troubled in the least by the Kabul capitulation, they engineered it."...

Kamala Harris Poses In Front Of Communist Ho Chi Minh Bust - "The WORST Photo Op For An American In That Country Since Jane Fonda Donned A Helmet There In 1972."

"While in Vietnam last week, Kamala Harris posed with Vietnamese Communist leaders in front of the Ho Chi Minh sculptures.

"Ho Chi Minh was a brutal dictator and the founder of the Vietnamese Communist Party. His regime carried out a class genocide against wealthy farmers and landowners, killing hundreds of thousands in Vietnam.

"Who is she appealing to in this photo?

"Kamala Harris bailed on the United States when catastrophe struck in Afghanistan, traveling to Singapore and Vietnam."...

If You Thought The Classrooms Were Bad, There’s a More Toxic Strain of Critical Race Theory Flowing From US Courtrooms -

 Revolver

"Critical Race Theory has become the central issue in American politics over the past year, thanks largely to the efforts of commentators like Christopher Rufo and army of grassroots parent activists standing up against the anti-white, anti-American poison being taught in American schools.

"But Critical Race Theory, or CRT, didn’t originate in America’s primary schools. CRT began as a legal doctrine within America’s law schools — and it is in this capacity that it can still do the most damage.

"Case in point: A federal judge in Nevada just recently demonstrated the potential of CRT as a legal doctrine in what might be called America’s first entirely CRT-driven constitutional ruling. If allowed to stand, this ruling would enshrine open borders as a permanent feature of American law.

"The case in question hinges on the fate of  Carrillo-Lopez, a Mexican national and career criminal with a dizzying array of aliases.". . . 

Mitt Romney: Trump Administration Helped 'Cause this Crisis' in Afghanistan

Romney and CNN: a match made in heaven.

 Breitbart  "Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” accused the Trump administration of having helped “cause this crisis” unfolding in Afghanistan.

Benedict Romney

"Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Should there be a U.S. military presence in the Kabul airport until every American citizen and legal permanent resident and Afghan SIV applicant is gone, even if that means service members staying for weeks and months? Of course, there’s this real possibility of American casualties.”

"Romney said, “Leaving Americans behind and leaving our Afghan friends behind, who worked with us, would put upon us and will put upon us a moral stain. This is the result of very ineffective decisions  by the prior administration and the current administration. This did not have to happen. It was preventable. And let me note that’s very different than the military. Our military came in at the very last moment and has performed admirably as far as I can tell to move people out as quickly as possible. We didn’t have to be in this rush, rush circumstance with terrorists breathing down our neck. It’s the responsibility of the prior administration and this administration that’s cause this crisis to be upon us and has led to what is, without question, a humanitarian and foreign policy tragedy.”

Taliban seeks pallets of cash in exchange for extending US Aug. 31 evacuation deadline

Monica Showalter  "In a briefing last week, Joe Biden told inquisitive reporters that every American who wants to get out of Afghanistan would get out of Afghanistan, and he was counting on the Taliban's "self-interest" in letting the Americans leave.

"Toss that one into the bin of lies and errors coming from this Biden Afghanistan fiasco.

"Turns out the Taliban has its own ideas about what its self-interest is.

/RichardGrenell  The Taliban have offered Joe Biden a deal: unfreeze the Afghan funds and they will extend the deadline. 

"Grenell, a former acting director of National Intelligence during President Trump's administration, has been consistently accurate about what is going down at State and other government agencies during the ongoing Afghanistan fiasco, so his disturbing report is very likely accurate." . . .

Why Kamala Harris? -

 

Kamala Harris is against fracking, the Green New Deal, Defund Police,
open borders, etc, but calls herself a moderate.

American Thinker  "When Joe Biden declared Kamala Harris his running mate in the 2020 election, it perplexed many among his allies and detractors.

"Why on earth did Joe opt for a relatively youthful individual who makes him look even older than he is in contrast?

"What caused Joe to choose somebody who lambasted him during the primaries and accused him of racism?

"It has to be remembered that Kamala couldn’t win a single state during the primaries and was compelled to drop out before the election commenced. She, therefore, brought no electoral benefits to Joe.

""Joe had pledged to select a female running mate.

"But among the myriad able, capable, and respectable female politicians in Washington and around the country, why Kamala?

"Before there could be any more questions or speculations, the liberal media began the celebrations -- even where I am, in India.

"She was a woman who had pigment in her skin. She was biracial, her mother is from India while her father is black and from Jamaica. Since diversity is the flavor of the moment, she satisfied all the criteria with flying colors.

"There were fawning interviews, obsequious television profiles, and copious flattering magazine articles.

"Conspiracy theorists claimed that the sinister puppet-masters pulling Joe’s strings were behind this, they knew Joe wouldn’t last long owing to his rapidly declining cognitive abilities. At some point, Kamala Harris would replace Joe as president so that the far-left agenda can be implemented." . . .

Fraudy Joe gets an earful from a big swath of America - American Thinker

You'd think someone who lost his kid, as he dubiously claims, to the "burn pits" in Iraq, would take more care, not less, with other people's kids, but not so with Joe. 

..."And from the Daily Beast:

“They sent my son over there as a paper pusher and then had the Taliban outside providing security,” said [father of slaim Marine Kareem Nikoui, Steve] Nikoui. “I blame my own military leaders… Biden turned his back on him. That’s it.”

. . . " Going through the bios of every one of those young service members (surely we owe it to them) though, is heartbreaking. The photos of the now-deceased are haunting, redolent of the often-slain drummer boy portraits of the Civil War. It's pretty obvious the Marines, the Army and the Navy had been sending their best for this critical operation, top people. "Model Marine," "Marine's Marine." "Died doing what he loved." "..respected by all who knew him," "I love my job." are the social media fragments and statements left in the wake of Biden's preventable disaster.

Look at these beautiful young women here. Look at this precious young man. I wrote about the people of his (and Nikoui's) Riverside County, California community a few months back here. And in 2014 here. That's them. And all of them were clearly exemplary.

"According to the New York Times:

The service members killed in the attack, in addition to Sergeant Gee and Sergeant Rosario, include Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Darin T. Hoover, 31, of Salt Lake City; Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez, 22, of Indio, Calif.; Corps Cpl. Daegan W. Page, 23, of Omaha; Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez, 22, of Logansport, Ind.; Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza, 20, of Rio Bravo, Texas; Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz, 20, of St. Charles, Mo.; Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum, 20, of Jackson, Wyo.; Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola, 20, of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.; Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui, 20, of Norco, Calif. The dead also include the Navy Hospitalman Maxton W. Soviak, 22, of Berlin Heights, Ohio, and Army Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss, 23, of Corryton, Tenn." . . .
