White House press secretary Jen Psaki labeled it “irresponsible” to say that Americans currently attempting to leave Afghanistan are “stranded” in the country, in response to a question from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy at a press briefing on Monday. “First of all, I think it’s irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not,” Psaki said. “We are committed to bringing Americans who want to come home, home,” adding that the U.S. is in touch with Americans in Afghanistan by phone, email, and other communications.
“‘There are no Americans stranded’ is the White House’s official position on what’s happening in Afghanistan right now?” Doocy countered.

A firefight erupted early Monday between unknown attackers and Afghan security forces and Western allies at the north gate of the airport in Kabul, officials said.
The German military said via Twitter that a gunfight involving American, German and Afghan soldiers engaging unknown assailants began at 4:13 a.m.
At least one person was killed and multiple people were injured. They were members of Afghan security forces, the military said, adding that no German soldiers were harmed.
The White House said Monday that the U.S. military evacuated about 10,400 people on 28 flights from Kabul

The majority of Americans no longer believe President Joe Biden is competent in his role as the Commander-in-Chief, according to a CBS News poll.
Fifty-one percent of the respondents said Biden is not competent in his position as president. This is compared to only 49 percent who said he is.
Additionally, the poll found that 52 percent of the respondents did not feel the president has been focused.
The poll was taken during and after the fall of the now-Taliban-controlled Kabul, Afghanistan, when Biden botched the U.S. troops’ withdrawal from the country. With that, 53 percent of the respondents said they disagree with the way Biden withdrew the troops.

Afghanistan is on the cusp of morphing from a mere national humiliation that will constrain US foreign policy for the next generation into a military catastrophe that could compare to the fate of the British Army during its 1842 retreat from Afghanistan if we continue on our current course.
Despite the abject and total failure of every component of the US government to carry out its mission, and more than ample evidence to demonstrate that our elites and government are incompetent beyond belief, a campaign is now starting to gaslight us into believing that this is a stroke of genius by

The Biden administration was having an extremely rough time spinning their Afghanistan failure as they made the rounds on the Sunday shows. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made things exponentially worse on CBS’s Face the Nation after fill-in moderator Major Garrett got him to admit the administration was asking the Taliban for “permission” to get Americans out of the country.
Blinken’s fumble began when Garrett asking him about President Biden’s comments regarding “an agreement with the Taliban,” because “that implies we're negotiating with them.” “Does that not confer upon them already legitimacy,” Garrett fretted.

The Biden administration is planning a dramatic ramp-up of its airlift from Kabul by making preparations to compel major U.S. airlines to help with the transportation of tens of thousands of evacuees from Afghanistan, while expanding the number of U.S. military bases that could house Afghans.
The White House is expected to consider activating the Civil Reserve Air Fleet, or CRAF, created in 1952 in the wake of the post-World War II Berlin Airlift, to provide nearly 20 commercial jets from up to five airlines to augment U.S. military efforts to transport Afghan evacuees from bases in the region, according to U.S. officials.

With Joe Biden back in hiding, Kamala Harris flying away to the Far East, and the State Department announcing it has been cyber-attacked while the U.S military remains forbidden from mounting rescue operations to Americans stranded and surrounded in Afghanistan, an American mom is appealing to the White House for help through a Republican congresswoman’s office.
The State Department is offering little help other than warning Americans not to try going to the Kabul airport. A threat from ISIS, which had been defeated under the Trump administration, was behind the threat that triggered that warning. ISIS and al Qaeda are both evidently

The hits keep on coming under Joe Biden.
Remember when Joe Biden allegedly asked Vladimir Putin and the Chinese not to conduct cyber attacks against us, but then he didn’t sanction China and he gave Putin a list of the targets that were important to us?
How’d that work out? Well, the cyberattacks have continued. Great job, Joe!
Now, we’re hearing about a serious breach, a new attack that hit the State Department. It’s not clear who is behind it yet.
According to Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich, while they only are talking about it today, it is believed to have happened a couple of weeks ago.

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting illness, COVID-19, has caused mass hysteria on a global scale. Perhaps no response is as shocking as what we see in Australia. The country is included in the group of western democracies globally and among the Five Eyes intelligence community members. Yet, the nation’s response to the pandemic can only be described as authoritarian.
A COVID-19 Delta outbreak emerged in Australia in June. The country adopted a “Covid-Zero” strategy early in the pandemic. The government has repeatedly imposed draconian measures, rigorous testing, and closed international borders to eradicate the virus.

In yet another recent sign that Joe Biden is losing the support of much of the liberal media due to the debacle caused by his enormous mishandling of the exit from Afghanistan, the Los Angeles Times has now revealed the real purpose of a new War Room set up at the White House.
Now, you would think that such a War Room would be for planning the rescue of American citizens and Afghans who worked for the United States from the clutches of the Taliban, right? Wrong.
Saturday's Times revealed the true purpose of the White House War Room in "Biden focuses on domestic agenda, even as hot spots flare up elsewhere."

A week ago tomorrow, Kabul fell and the Taliban gained effective control of Afghanistan.
Joe Biden and his national security team have taken that week to offer very little in the way of facts, and evidently, even less in the way of security for Americans or U.S. allies stranded there. A British reporter on the ground in Kabul reports that the things he and “hardened combat soldiers” are seeing are the worst things any of them have ever seen. He also says it’s all getting worse. As if the chaos in Afghanistan isn’t bad enough, the Biden administration is evidently in a state of chaos itself.

A Taliban fighting unit called the Badri 313 Battalion was spotted patrolling Afghanistan with U.S.-made gear, and posting one photo appearing to mock the iconic World War II photo, Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.
Propaganda videos posted this week on channels affiliated with the Taliban show soldiers in the little-known Badri 313 Battalion carrying U.S. and U.S. ally-made weapons and gear that appear to be stolen from allied militaries while patrolling parts of Kabul. In one propaganda photo, members of the Badri 313 Battalion are seen hoisting a Taliban flag in a similar fashion
