President Joe Biden thinks history will strongly support his Afghanistan decision which led to a Taliban takeover, deaths of innocent human beings, rape of children, oppression of women and the total waste of over $2 trillion.During a train wreck of a speech on Sunday, Biden delivered comments from the White House where he continued to voice his support for his botched Afghanistan withdraw which has been widely criticized by most people in the media.Biden went as far to say that his decision was not only right, but “logical” and “rational” as well.

The White House repeatedly refused to address the Taliban's August 31 deadline to get US troops out of Afghanistan on Monday, dodging questions on the subject and snapping at reporters who asked how the government planned to save the remaining Americans stuck in Kabul. The Taliban's spokesman issued the sternest threat yet to Biden on Monday morning, saying there will be 'consequences' if US troops - who are holed up at the airport in Kabul evacuating tens of thousands of people and fending off an increasingly desperate crowd - don't leave in the next eight days. Biden and his administration have no idea how many Americans remain trapped in Afghanistan,

Over the past days there have been reports that the Taliban is attempting to implement some degree of greater disciplined uniformity in terms of the appearance of its forces as it prepares to "govern" war-torn Afghanistan.There are suggestions the group could move to the look of a more professional military as part of its bid for "legitimacy" both at home and abroad. This as opposed to their typical rag-tag appearance as bearded jihadists from the mountains wearing Islamist garb. And they have a little bit of help after inheriting some $80+ million in military equipment after the US and Western coalition troop exit. "Meet the new Taliban teams,

Hurricane Henri, which has since been downgraded to a tropical depression, is makings its way up the Northeast, bringing heavy rain, storm surges, power outages, flooding, and high winds to those in its path.On Sunday evening, President Biden issued a word of warning to those in the affected areas, but rather than focus on practical advice relevant to a storm of this nature, he of course made it all about Covid-19.“To those in Henri’s path: Don't forget that you may need to seek shelter while we’re still battling COVID-19 and the Delta variant,” he tweeted. “So wear a mask and try to observe social distancing.”

America is a global laughingstock right now, but that's no reason not to give Chairman Xi and Putin and every up-country village headman in Helmand a few more yuks. Step forward, State Department spokeswanker Ned Price: The United States is dead as a global power because of this kind of indestructible stupidity. You've lost, you blew it, it's over: The goatherds just decapitated you; could you at least have the self-respect not to run around like a headless chicken too stupid to know it's nogginless? Or like a broken doll lying on its back with its mechanism jammed on the same simpleton phrases: "Diversity is our strength...

The Department of Defense is issuing guidance to make the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccinate mandatory for all troops in the United States. “The Pentagon says it will require service members to receive the COVID-19 vaccine now that the Pfizer vaccine has received full approval,” the AP reported. “Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Monday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is making good on his vow earlier this month to require the shots once the Food and Drug Administration approved the vaccine,” the report continued.

The Taliban has delivered a chilling warning to foreign nationals and Afghans scrambling to leave the country, saying there will be 'consequences' if the US does not leave Afghanistan by August 31 and extends a deadline for the withdrawal of troops.
Thousands of Afghans who worked with U.S. military forces remain camped around Kabul airport trying to find safety as the clock ticks down. American nationals are also waiting for their own flights home. President Joe Biden wants all Americans to be out by the end of the month, in order to meet the troop withdrawal agreement reached with the Taliban,

As Samuel Johnson once said, “when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” So it is with the Democrats’ big spending proposals. For much of the summer, there has been wrangling without final decision. That time for posturing is over.Nearly 20 Senate Republicans have foolishly signed on to a bipartisan bill with $550 billion in new infrastructure spending. By contrast, Democrats must go it alone to pass the American Families Plan, their $3.5 trillion package of welfare spending and all sorts of other goodies.

Almost everything Joe Biden has touched since entering office has turned to dross. None of his blame-gaming, none of his distortions, none of his fantasies and unreality can mask that truth. The Afghan Catastrophe - Seven months ago, Afghanistan was relatively quiet—with about 10,000 vestigial NATO troops, including 2,500 Americans, anchored by the Bagram Airfield. They were able to provide air superiority for the coalition and Afghan national army. With air power, NATO forces, if and when they so wished, could have very slowly and gradually withdrawn all its remnant troops—but only after a prior departure of all American and European civilians, coalition contractors, and allied Afghans.

In his Pulitzer Prize–winning book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, geographer Jared Diamond attempts to explain why Eurasian civilizations have survived and triumphed over those lost to history. I wonder whether a future sociologist might one day sum up Western civilization's demise as the natural consequence of Guns, Germs, and Feelz, or rather, how hysterical fear-mongering over self-defense and microorganisms and a new world order based on feelings ended up dooming the West. At the end of July, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives sent a letter to Rare Breed Trigger notifying the Florida company that the ATF had classified
