How would you like to be one of the 15,000+ American citizens in Kabul, or surrounding region, and getting this notice from the United States State Department:
“A congressional aide tells CBS News we have no partners left in Afghanistan to safely get Americans in-country to Kabul.” (link)

Earlier this evening President Trump appeared for a lengthy and detailed interview with Sean Hannity. The topic of the failed Biden administration effort to withdraw from Afghanistan was the primary focus. [Note: These raw videos are likely to be removed overnight. If you missed it, watch while you can].

The 44-year-old academic currently occupying the role of National Security Advisor to Joe Biden, Jake Sullivan, informs reporters that Biden has not spoken to any world leaders since the total collapse of Afghanistan and the embarrassing mess created by Biden’s administration.
Yet again, the Potemkin village of an administration touting their international relationships is highlighted. It’s all a farce folks; a ruse on display for the entire world to see. Thus, the lonely picture of Joe Biden in his bunker at Camp David gets more context.
The U.S. media cannot carry this much water….. It’s just too heavy a lift, even for them.

The number of Americans trapped in Afghanistan is actually unknown. According to Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby, somewhere around 5,000 to 10,000 are known, but the number could be 20,000. Those U.S. citizens are not at the airport in Kabul, and need to reach the airport in order to be evacuated.
Several media reports outline that the Taliban have checkpoints around the airport presumably looking for people who were aligned with the former government. Unfortunately, given the nature of media bias and previous propaganda, it is challenging to determine the level of risk or threat to any American. There have been no reports of Americans killed or taken hostage. Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby outlines the current priority is to secure the airport, that’s what the additional troops are intended to do. WATCH:
…”Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up“… ~ Barack Obama
There is no such thing as “idiot proof.” As soon as you think you’ve developed an “idiot proof” system, you will discover Joe Biden.
The Taliban was retaking Kabul when the White House released a photo of a feeble Joe Biden at a very large conference table. There were no advisors or generals there, only a confused failure of a man who watched helplessly as our embassy took down the revered LGBQT+ flag. They took down Old Glory, too.
The photo has become controversial as the angry millennials running the White House outed intelligence officials locations and identities when they tweeted out the image. People also noticed the clocks were off by 3 hours between London and Moscow. Was this a photoshopped old photo from March when daylight savings time was in effect?
We’ve just seen the worst military flop and embarrassment since the fall of Saigon and sleepy Joe blamed it all on Trump. That’s a cop out of course. Joe is not going to take any responsibility because the man lacks character. Still, perhaps Joe was too busy making sure our military was becoming more ‘woke’ and that plenty of gay and trans soldiers were at their peak readiness. Joe said there was no way we’d see a Saigon-like repeat of helicopters evacuating our personnel from Kabul, but that’s exactly what we saw.
As the Taliban was collecting millions of dollars worth of helicopters, vehicles, weapons, and US pride left behind, Biden was off ‘vacationing’ in Camp David. Barely six months into his regime’s rule and he has to have a vacation. Nothing from his second in command, either. They probably know that no one wants to hear from the cackling hyena Kamala Harris, who would probably laugh the whole thing off.
We all knew the US would eventually have to end a very unpopular war that should never have been started in the first place. The blame can be laid at the feet of the Bush crime family for starting it. The premise for the US ‘police action’ was 9-11. And yet we all know Building 7 was a demolition job performed by insiders with the approval of the shadow government. Cheney and Rumsfeld no doubt oversaw the operation. They staged 9-11 to bring about war and tyranny and allow the military industrial complex to gorge itself. Trillions of dollars and thousands of lives lost later, nothing was accomplished. The Taliban religious fanatics are back in control and stronger than ever.
We can’t lay all the blame on Bush and Biden. The Afghan people did not want our freedom. The same freedom Bush said they hated us for. Oh sure, there are exceptions, but if the Afghans really wanted to be free they would have fought for their freedom. They didn’t. Now the women will wear burkas and be refused higher educations. Gay Afghans will be murdered. Sharia Law will be brutally enforced.
It’s a shame, but it was never, ever any of our business. Maybe now, after two defeats, America will have finally learned its lesson about forcing freedom onto people who despise it.

Many people have wondered how the Biden administration could get the collapse of Afghanistan so horribly wrong and botched completely the withdrawal of U.S. forces. To that point there is a little known Question and Answer session by Colorado Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO, CD05) that deserves some attention.
Approximately 7 weeks ago, June 23rd, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley testified in front of the House Armed Services Committee about their budget requests. Rep Doug Lamborn took this opportunity, he only had 4 minutes, to ask some very specific questions about Afghanistan and his concerns for early reports of the Taliban surging back into control.
Lamborn asked about the hazard of closing Bagrham AFB given the tenuous nature of reliance on one airport in Kabul. Lamborn also asked about the evacuation of U.S-Afghan allies and the risk to women and girls if the Taliban were successful. What Def Sec Austin and General Milley said in response totally explains why the White House was blind-sided by the Taliban in the past week. [WATCH Video at 01:06:56, Prompted]
Given the nature of what has happened in Afghanistan, those totally wrong estimations of the situation in the region should be enough to see both Secretary Austin and General Milley fired. At the very least reliance on this inept and totally wrong outlook explains why the Biden administration had no idea what was about to happen.
Congressman Doug Lamborn’s questioning was directly on point and in hindsight, stunningly prescient. Great job by Lamborn!
Hopefully Austin was wrong when he said that any defense of women and girls in Afghanistan will be contingent upon the U.S. embassy in Kabul. The U.S. embassy in Kabul is no longer there, the Taliban have it.

Apparently, the communications goal from the White House team was to create a strawman argument around the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan, and totally avoid the main point of crisis right now being the method and manner of the withdrawal.
However, he went one step further which makes it worse.
Joe Biden blamed the Afghan people, currently being hunted in the streets of Kabul by the Taliban, for not availing themselves of earlier opportunities for evacuation at the time when Joe Biden and his Secretary of State were telling them the country was in no imminent threat of collapse.
…”I know that there are concerns about why we did not begin evacuating Afghans — civilians sooner. Part of the answer is some of the Afghans did not want to leave earlier — still hopeful for their country. “… [Full Transcript]
The entire speech delivered by Biden was a classic example of a non-sequitur argument. Biden kept defending his decision to exit Afghanistan (which few disagree with) while avoiding the massive crisis created by his unplanned and haphazard manner/method of exit. A point that was not missed by former President Trump:
Biden took no questions, ran away from the podium and immediately hopped back on the helicopter to escape back to his bunker in Camp David.
Joe Biden is an embarrassing joke, installed on our nation.

The installed occupant of the White House is scheduled to deliver remarks to the nation explaining and justifying his complete failure to manage the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Most analysts agree, the dementia riddled occupant is expected to mumble his blame toward Donald Trump.
The White House has turned a deaf ear to those who asked the administration to turn around the teleprompters so we can read the remarks ourselves. We will be forced to listen to Mr. Mumbles version of what the word assembly might be. The effort is scheduled to begin at 3:45pm Eastern Time. Livestream links below:
In early July, Joe Biden informed the American people of the coming drawdown of U.S. forces from Afghanistan after a 20-year occupation. The evacuation would be “secure and orderly,” he said, with little chance of a Taliban takeover. “The likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely,” he said.
Little more than a month later, the bumbling idiot with his feet in the oval office has been proven wrong on all counts.

The crisis unfolding at the international airport in Kabul has reached horrific levels. Afghan nationals are swarming the airport in an effort to escape the onslaught, as Taliban fighters go door-to-door looking for people who have assisted the United States during the 20 year war.
At least seven people were killed at the airport, many fell to their deaths as they clung to the outside of U.S. C-17 transport planes. Horrific videos have surfaced showing desperation amid the humanitarian crisis. The AFP is reporting:
KABUL – […] Residents raced to Kabul’s international airport, where the “civilian side” was closed until further notice, according to Afghanistan’s Civil Aviation Authority. The U.S. military and other Western forces continued to organize evacuations.
Videos circulating on social media showed hundreds of people running across the tarmac as U.S. troops fired warning shots in the air. One showed a crowd pushing and shoving its way up a staircase, trying to board a plane, with some people hanging off the railings.
In another video, hundreds of people could be seen running alongside a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane as it moved down a runway. Some clung to the side of the jet just before takeoff. Another video showed several falling through the air as the airplane rapidly gained altitude over the city.
Senior military officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing operation, told The Associated Press that the chaos left seven dead, including several who fell from the flight. (read more)
