Although the leftists I know are still resolutely silent about Biden’s Afghanistan debacle, even the mainstream media has caught on to the fact that something dreadful is happening there: Americans are trapped in Afghanistan with diminishing chances of escape, our military is essentially trapped at Kabul airport, tens of thousands of Afghan citizens have been getting on flights that will see them end up in America, sharia and all, and the Taliban is on its usual murderous rampage. The worst thing of all, according to Lara Logan, is that we’re being told there’s nothing to be done...and that’s a lie.

Joe Biden, his cabal and democrats have created the slow moving genocide we all will be watching in real time. They own this. They are in charge of this debacle and thousands are going to die as a result of their decisions. Our reputation on the world’s stage for trustworthiness is shot. We are a laughingstock to our allies and enemies. The mighty United States of America has been brought low by a godless, corrupt and lawless bunch of criminals aided and abetted by the sorriest, weak, stab their constituents in the back Rinos to ever draw breath. They are not alone in their perfidy. The media and tech overlords play an essential role in getting us to the point where we are asking our enemies permission instead of blowing them to smithereens. So much blame and never has it been so deserved. Thousands of our citizens are mentally going through hell because they know what awaits them if the United States military does not rescue them and it is not looking good. I do not see any sense of urgency on the part of this administration to rectify the situation. As Obama and Hillary did in Benghazi, Joe will do in this situation. We will lose thousands of men, women and children to a bunch of seventh century minded goat raping terrorists. Joe has already equipped them for any possible confrontation. My goodness, can this possibly get any worse? The democrat party just wrote its own epitaph with this unbelievably stupid decision to bug out on Bagram Air Force Base, leave all the weapons, vehicles and ammunition behind for our enemies, and worst of all strand our people behind enemy lines. This flagrant display of cowardice and supreme indifference to the thousands who will be tortured and murdered is unlike anything we have ever seen. The democrat party must be held accountable for this debacle. They stole their way into power and look what they have wrought. However, to witness the American military powerless in the face of a taunting enemy is the worst. Biden and his cabal have stripped the military of honor that they had in abundance. Woke generals and an incompetent CIC has wronged every enlisted warrior who would move heaven and hell to rescue their fellow Americans if Biden would unleash them. We could destroy the Taliban in a matter of days. I cannot believe this old depraved fraud has put us in such danger. This just goes to show you what happens to a country when its leaders are lawless and corrupt, the people suffer. Unfortunately, we will witness the coming carnage. God help us.

#1 - "The democrat party just wrote its own epitaph with this unbelievably stupid decision to bug out on Bagram Air Force Base,..." I'm afraid that may not be true. The Bagram bug-out could be part of the "Great Reset" being engineered by the World Economic Forum/Davos crowd. All vestiges of the old order must be uprooted, and there is no bigger symbol of the "old" normal than a strong and effective U.S. military keeping the bad guys at bay. Now the bad guys, Dems, are in charge of the military they have hated for fifty years. Our homegrown Uniparty/Deep State is working in concert with the worldwide Deep State to bring about their New Normal. The link below is to a very well done documentary on the world-wide forces trying to reshape humanity. Its 50 minutes and jam packed with information. Its worth the time investment. I got the link from a comment over at Meaning in History. The New Normal - documentary - What the 1% Have to Gain and What We Are About To Lose https://www.bitchute.com/video/qYFzbvwAXX3d/

I know it may look like just another liberal screw up, but I think it's worth considering that Biden's handlers wanted this to happen. There are murky forces pulling the strings who love chaos and hate America. We have traitors running our government.

I never thought Biden was in charge; he's just not capable and never has been. But think back to several people who definitely hate the US...Barack Obama, George Soros, Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice. Those are the people who are running this country. If you doubt this, prove me wrong. They were all assembled and ready to go; plus they were additionally fueled by a white-hot hate for Donald Trump. To tell you the truth, I am surprised President Trump is still standing. Pray for the United States; pray for all Americans (military and civilian) in Afghanistan; and pray for the hand of God to use all of the above to save us once again!

Unfortunately some half of the country will fall for Biden's (or whomever) the straw man head fake and see the choices as between staying in perpetuity and leaving precisely as we are doing. Any criticism regarding the insane withdrawal of troops and surrender of air bases prior to evacuating civilians will be spun into supporting unending unwinnable war to serve the industrial military complex. It's how the left rolls.

Absolutely #4. Zero's administration supported the Islamic people and made sure every policy was in their favor, etc. Trump destroyed ISIS, the Caliphate, and wrecked the jihad terrorist dreams while in office. The Zero led Biden administration will do everything they can to bring it all back. Afghanistan will be home base. Simple as that.

I think this was the Biden Administration's plan all along. They thought the American People were so busy with COVID and fighting their School Boards that they wouldn't notice. They walked away from Billions of Dollars in Military Equipment because if they started to bring it home people would notice. They didn't give American's notice to leave weeks ago because they knew the word would get out that something Big was going to happen there. They didn't care that they were leaving those folks, that's just what had to happen to pull off their plan. All of a sudden, Retired Generals and Vets saw what was happening and Blew the Whistle on Biden. Then the American People woke up and started asking questions. Lastly the Media woke up and started filming the planes leaving, chocked full of Afghans, NO AMERICANS! So now, all hell has broken loose! American's WANT to get out, but can't (no matter what Biden is saying). Then we found out about the Billions in Military Equipment that was left (for the Afghans to now use) because the Afghans were filming themselves ON that equipment and posting the photos! Lastly, we now hear, several times a day, from Biden's Talking Heads that there is "NOTHING to worry about. ALL Americans who WANT to get out will do so"! NOBODY believes them! Now we are at the day when the Pentagon wants to know if we are going to get all Americans out by the 31st because they ALSO need to get all the Troops out, plus Equipment and shut down the Airport. NOBODY believes that will happen by the 31st. We hear Great Britain, France and others went IN and got their People out themselves. They are now denouncing Biden for not letting THEM know what he was planning. What a mess Biden and his very stupid Cabinet and favored Generals have made! God Help Us!

How thorough is the vetting process? If the withdrawal planning is any clue, not thorough enough. Are there ISIS, Al Queda and Taliban embedded within the Afghanistanis being airlifted out of Kabul? More than likely. Will there be ISIS, Al Queda and Taliban crossing our open southern border. More than likely. Be prepared for terror attacks on our shores.

Poster #12: " . . . just ask Winston Churchill about Dunkirk, or Harry Truman about the Berlin Airlift." But - - there is a big difference today. Churchill loved the British Empire - - and Truman loved the USA. They put everything possible into heroic rescue efforts - - to save the countries they loved. But today's demonrats/commies hate the USA with a burning passion. All of their efforts will go into destroying this country - - not rescuing it.

Dissolving the southern border into nonexistence, terminating energy independence by shutting down the Keystone pipeline, flooding the country with covid-positive illegal aliens, turning the entire intelligence apparatus inward on American citizens, serving a humiliating defeat to the military, spending our way into double digit inflation, all in 8 months. This raises the glaringly obvious question: If the Biden administration had set out to deliberately destroy America, what would they have done differently?

Now that we have had 18 months to “slow the spread” it is time to take stock of the pandemic. We have learned many good things that the media and our pandemic managers rarely report.

The Taliban announced that they expected America to be out of Afghanistan as of August 31, even though there are tens of thousands of American citizens and Afghan allies still trapped in the country. Joe Biden did not tell the Taliban to go pound sand. Instead, he meekly agreed provided that America was still allowed to get Westerners and certain Afghan citizens to the Kabul airport during that time. Even the G7 leaders who were thrilled with Biden in June are unhappy.

Thanks to the news out of Afghanistan, Jen Psaki’s recent admission that the executive branch has been colluding with the tech giants to suppress free speech, has apparently passed into the ether with far less scrutiny than it deserves. In fact, this is such a clear violation of the First Amendment that it defies any obvious logic or rationale. But Psaki’s announcement isn’t the first act in this play; it’s only the most recent act in the left’s years-long flouting of the rule of law.

The disaster that is the withdrawal from Afghanistan coupled with other innumerable debacles that Joe Biden has singlehandedly precipitated in just seven months should not come as a surprise to anyone who has paid attention to his career. His fifty-years as a politician is littered with a litany of failures due to unforced errors, countless flip-flops, plagiarism, cupidity, mendacity and demagoguery all brought about by an overweening sense of infallibility and egocentrism.

They are the industrious ant colonies of politics. Republicans, on the other hand, do not organize. We agonize. We are more comfortable wringing our hands, quoting the Founding Fathers, listening to talk radio, and going on cruises than organizing and taking meaningful action.

Those two holes expose the contents of the one-vote ballot in exactly the right strategic place.

Biden has requested contingency plans should the U.S. need to keep troops in Afghanistan until a later date, a senior administration official told CNN.
