The Defence Secretary today blamed Donald Trump for the speedy collapse of Afghanistan into the hands of the Taliban. Ben Wallace told MPs that a 2020 deal struck by the Trump administration with the Islamic extremists 'couldn’t have been more helpful to the regime in achieving its victory'. He made the claim as he faced a grilling over the speedy military collapse of Afghanistan, which sparked an emergency evacuation of western forces and diplomats in the summer.(Snip)He denied that Nato soldiers had been militarily defeated but admitted: 'Our resolve was found wanting'. And he said he knew 'the game was up' in July.

Donald Trump Jr. is taking aim at a longtime family foe—he’s hawking a t-shirt that uses a tragic movie-set shooting to mock Alec Baldwin, who famously skewered his father on “Saturday Night Live.”
A tee declaring “Guns Don’t Kill People, Alec Baldwin Kills People” is selling for $27.99 on a merchandise site linked to the former president’s namesake son. The reference is to the Thursday slaying of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was hit by discharge from a prop gun while working on the Baldwin film “Rust.” Baldwin, the film’s star, was handling the weapon from which the fatal shot was fired. The movie’s director was injured as well.

The NYPD is doing everything in its power to convince its members to receive life-saving COVID vaccine shots as the city’s mandate deadline looms—a cutoff that could send a quarter of the police force home without pay. “We have to prepare as if this is going to go into effect Friday evening and that’s exactly what we’re going to do,” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said on NY1 Tuesday. “We have vaccines available throughout the city for our members.” Shea said that 72% of the NYPD has gotten at least one vaccination shot.(Snip)Opposition to Mayor de Blasio’s mandate led to a massive protest in lower Manhattan Monday

City workers took to the streets Monday to protest Mayor Bill de Blasio’s vaccine mandate for the entire municipal workforce.
At least 20 people were arrested during the protest, a police source said. Days after the mayor announced that all government employees except for jail staff will need to receive a vaccine shot by Friday or be placed on unpaid leave, about 5,000 incensed demonstrators marched over the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. Many carried American flags, chanting, “[Expletive] de Blasio” and “We will not comply!”
Some protesters wore NYPD and FDNY shirts, and several hoisted Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flags, while others took to the extreme of wearing yellow stars

The anti-Biden catchphrase “Let’s Go Brandon” was apparently too big for just one hit record. In what may be a musical first, two different rap anthems with the same name—“Let’s Go Brandon”—held the No. 1 and No. 2 spots Monday on the iTunes top 10. “Let’s Go Brandon” by Bryson Gray featuring Tyson James and Chandler Crump topped the charts, one spot ahead of “Lets Go Brandon” without the apostrophe by Loza Alexander, pushing British superstar Adele’s “Easy On Me” to third place. What’s more, Mr. Alexander’s “Lets Go Brandon (Extended Version)” was No. 16. The songs were inspired by an NBC sports correspondent

China has launched a new satellite that analysts say can be used as a weapon capable of grabbing and crushing American satellites.
The Shijian-21 satellite was sent aloft on Sunday atop a rocket booster from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, ostensibly for cleaning “space debris,” according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, Beijing’s state-run space company. The company stated that the satellite is “tasked with demonstrating technologies to alleviate and neutralize space debris.” The robotic satellite launch followed a suspected recent test of a new hypersonic missile that Chinese officials said was a peaceful space experiment. The commander of the U.S. Space Command, Air Force

The Biden administration is reportedly in talks to appoint Kim Wyman, a Republican secretary of state who challenged former President Trump's false claims of fraud, to lead efforts to protect elections from interference. It would make Wyman, 59, one of the most senior GOP appointments in the administration. And it would propel her into a prominent position working with election officials around the country at a time when much of her own party has sown doubt about voting integrity. Federal officials have spent weeks in talks with Wyman, Washington state's secretary of state, to become the election security lead for the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency

President Biden’s decision to halt border wall construction has left parts of Arizona so dangerous that the U.S. Forest Service has banned its employees from going there, according to a border rancher who grazes cattle on those lands. Jim Chilton, whose ranch covers 5.5 miles of the border, was thrilled when the government began replacing the four-strand barbed wire fence with a Trump-style border wall. Five miles were completed by the end of the last administration. But after Mr. Biden’s construction halt, Mr. Chilton now has a half-mile gap, and people are pouring through like a funnel. “Actually, the border danger is far worse than it has ever

President Joe Biden on Monday pushed to get a deal done on his multi-trillion social spending plan before he heads for Europe later this week by repeating his debunked claim it costs nothing and painting the child tax credit as a 'tax cut' for the middle class.
'We need to get this done,' Biden said in remarks at the NJ Transit Meadowlands Maintenance Complex in Kearny, New Jersey.(Snip)'Under my plan, no middle class family will spend more than 7% of their income on childcare,' he said. Then Biden did as he always does when he wants to emphasize a point—he leaned forward to whisper into the microphone

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers’ criticism that the Federal Reserve and other central banks are too focused on “woke” social issues reflects a growing concern that policymakers aren’t paying enough attention to inflation. the argument from Mr. Summers, a Democrat, also comes as Senate Republicans are trying to prevent congressional Democrats and President Biden from pressuring the Fed to install regional directors who would devote some of their duties to climate change and racial equity. They describe it as a dangerous case of “mission creep” from the central bank’s traditional role of ensuring maximum employment and price stability. All 12 Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee fired a warning shot

Once upon a time it was simple. Children went to sleep on a diet of bedtime stories that grew out of folklore, depended on magic or were just enchantingly simple: Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and Goodnight Moon. Not anymore, because these days bedtime is all about getting woke. Take a glance at the shelves of the children's department of any major bookstore. Teach Your Dragon About Diversity, sits next to Daddy & Dada.(Snip)There are books about transgender infants, queer families and dreamers, but the subject that dominates all others, bound up in the pages of child-friendly picture books, is race–that and a dollop of police brutality

Children 18 and under will get a blanket exemption from the administration's new vaccine requirement on international travelers visiting the U.S. that goes into effect Nov. 8th. The administration created the exception due to different rules and availability for vaccines for kids in other countries, officials said Monday. Also getting a carve-out are citizens from 50 countries where less than 10 per cent of people are vaccinated 'due to the lack of availability of vaccines.'(Snip)'Preventing people from getting sick, hospitalized and dying of covid is a top, top priority,' said a senior administration official on a media call. The administration is doing 'everything we can do to incentivize

It's those rascally Russians again! For a moment I thought it was the Biden junta's efforts to collapse the US and global economy, give or take Microsoft's legendarily poor quality software.
