Joe Biden is begging the Taliban to spare the U.S. embassy when they knock down the Afghan capital of Kabul and completely overrun the country, And with the fall of Kandahar, Herat, and all the other big Afghan cities, that could be any day now.
Here's the lovely story from the New York Times:
WASHINGTON — American negotiators are trying to extract assurances from the Taliban that they will not attack the U.S. Embassy in Kabul if the extremist group takes over the country’s government and ever wants to receive foreign aid, three American officials said.
The effort, led by Zalmay Khalilzad,

Joe Biden, who plays Mr. Everyman on T.V., in real life has an amazing history of stiffing the little guy.
He touts a federal $15 an hour minimum wage and raves about wage gains during his administration:
“When it comes to the economy we’re building, rising wages aren’t a bug, they’re a feature,” he said.
His éminence grise advisor, Susan Rice, says the same: (Snip for tweet.) Turns out all those wage gains are gone. According to Politico:
Rising prices on everything from groceries to gasoline have eaten away the wage gains workers have seen since the start of the year, leaving most Americans earning less than they were before the pandemic began

Nobody likes the war in Afghanistan, but Joe Biden's solution -- a sudden U.S. pullout, complete with a 9/11-anniversary courtesy schedule for the Taliban's convenience, is shaping up to be a U.S. disaster.
According to the Washington Post:
The Biden administration is preparing for Afghanistan’s capital to fall far sooner than feared only weeks ago, as a rapid disintegration of security has prompted the revision of an already stark intelligence assessment predicting Kabul could be overrun

Remember Pajama Boy, the onesie-clad man with hot chocolate who was hired by Obama White House allies to get young people to buy the Obamacare and its 'narrative'?
Well, now it's Benny Drama.
He's the new pop face of the Biden administration's bid to persuade the public to get vaccines. [Snip for tweet] According to the Daily Mail:
In a bid to promote Covid-19 vaccines among young people, the White House has recruited Gen Z TikTok influencers, one who dropped another spoof video on Monday.
Benito Skinner, a comedian whose TikTok handle is @bennydrama7 and boasts over 845,000 followers, posted a video

President Obama planned a 60th birthday party at his Martha's Vineyard mansion for 500 of his closest friends. So much for COVID. So much for global warming.
And after the ridicule and word of hypocrisy got out, Obama scaled it down, claiming it was just close friends and family now. But it didn't quite look that way once photos got out showing Obama dancing the night away — with the celebrity cavalcade of Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Steven Spielberg, Bradley Cooper, Don Cheadle, Erykah Badu, Steven Colbert, all his "closest" friends. Oh, and "close friend" John Kerry, too, who happens to be from Massachusetts. Imagine Kerry discoing

In one of the most outrageous instances of internet censorship, YouTube has suppressed Australian news giant SkyNews for a week, based on its reports about hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.
The London Telegraph has the first report here:
Sky News Australia has been banned for a week from uploading videos to Youtube after it was accused of spreading misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic.
The Sky News Australia channel on YouTube received a "strike" over "numerous" video clips, including "content that denies the existence of Covid-19," the video platform said.

TOKYO — Laurel Hubbard, a transgender weightlifter from New Zealand, was knocked out of the women’s 87+ kilogram competition early after failing on all three of her attempts.
Hubbard failed on her first attempt to get 120kg above her head, bailing out early. On her second attempt at 125kg, she was able to get the weight up and pumped her fist after in satisfaction, however judges ruled it a “no lift.”
She returned quickly for another attempt at 125kg only to fail to stand up with the weight above her head. Hubbard was the only one of the 13 finalists to not complete at least one lift.

President Biden’s troubled son Hunter did not mince words in responding to critics of the stunning prices that his paintings have been fetching.
On the “Nota Bene: This Week in the Art World” podcast, the issue came up when the host began “You seem to have good spirits around the crazed narrative around your paintings. How do you- what’s the response to the people who are coming after the prices of the work, the collectors, what is your response to that?”
Biden responded to the favorably phrased question angrily, “Other than f***’em?” he shot back. Biden’s paintings have been selling for as much as $500,000, the 51-year-old man

The more CDC director Rochelle Walensky talks, the worse she sounds.
Along with her well-noted controversial statements about returning to mask-wearing and a nationally mandated COVID vaccine, the latter of which she walked back to some extent, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director threw out other nutty statements that are worth noting if for nothing else than the fact that Joe Biden says he defers to her and her continuously mistaken bureaucrats at CDC.
Breitbart News reported that a question about illegal border crossers spreading COVID, from Fox News's Bret Baier, triggered this exchange:
Baier said, “But do you know the surge,

Joe Biden, not the brightest bulb in the box, has unwittingly declared war on his own political base.
What else to make of his mandatory vaccine diktat for the federal workforce, which came out yesterday, demanding that 2.876 million federal workers be vaxxed for COVID, or else.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday announced sweeping new pandemic requirements aimed at boosting vaccination rates for millions of federal workers and contractors as he lamented the “American tragedy” of rising-yet-preventable deaths among the unvaccinated.

Is the Joe Biden administration serious about COVID? Doesn't look like it.
Fox News, citing a local incident in La Joya, Texas, found that the Border Patrol is releasing COVID-infected illegals into Texas communities to spread the disease. That's a curious thing given that Biden drew headlines for supposedly keeping Title 42 in place, which would require the Border Patrol to instantly expel migrants based on COVID concerns. Based on this kind of news, the order is de facto rescinded whether Biden says so or not.
In this Texas case, illegal migrants had been let in and then handed over to the NGO Catholic Charities in La Joya, Texas, which

So Kamala Harris is set to campaign for embattled California Gov. Gavin Newsom, to keep him from losing office. The latter, of course, is facing a voter recall.
According to the Washington Examiner:
Vice President Kamala Harris vowed to campaign for Gov. Gavin Newsom as he faces a recall effort in California.
When asked whether she would back the Democratic governor, the longtime associate of Newsom answered, "Yes."
Harris, a former California attorney general and senator, did not elaborate further as she departed the Capitol.
