Donald Trump: ‘Only Reason You Have a Republican Party’ Is Democrats ‘Have Horrible Policy’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump ripped into establishment Republicans for getting “duped” into supporting the Democrat agenda during President Joe Biden’s administration, arguing that the “only reason” Republicans even exist is because of how bad the Democrats are on policy.

After viciously criticizing Biden’s agenda and mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal during a nearly two hour-long exclusive interview here at his golf club in northern New Jersey, Trump told Breitbart News that the Democrats “stick together” something he said Republicans do not do. Trump named names, too, of such establishment Republicans he is unhappy with — name-checking Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — with whom Trump has been feuding since late last year.

“And unlike the Republicans, they [the Democrats] stick together, although we have some great Republicans,” Trump said. “But we also have a group of Republicans, Romney, little Ben Sasse, you look at Louisiana that whole deal with him—so terrible. We have a group of Republicans, they don’t know what loyalty means. They don’t get it. Mitch McConnell is terrible. We have some that just can’t get there. And they never will. Look at the judges that they’re reporting. Look at the judges that they’re approving. And we have to get, unfortunately, Lindsey Graham is voting for all these horrible judges. But look at what’s happening, that’s impossible for the Democrats to do. McConnell can’t hold people in line. Are you seeing what’s going on with judges? Radical left judges are being approved because Lindsey’s voting for them. I don’t- I can’t even- I can’t. I can’t fathom it. I can’t fathom it. I’m a very loyal person. I cannot. And nobody that I understand that. Nobody can understand what’s going on with that. But they’re getting people appointed that are that are very sad. It’s a very sad situation.” (Read more from “Donald Trump: ‘Only Reason You Have a Republican Party’ Is Democrats ‘Have Horrible Policy’” HERE)

Families of Slain Marines Call Out Biden for Disrespectful Behavior at Ceremony

/0 Comments/in , /by

More family members of military service members who died during Thursday’s attack in Afghanistan have come forward and called their interactions with the president “selfish” and “disrespectful.”

Mark Schmitz, father of Marine Jared Schmitz, and Darin Hoover, father of Darin Taylor Hoover Jr., appeared Monday on Fox News’s Hannity to talk about their interactions with the president.

“Initially, I wasn’t going to meet with him,” Schmitz said. “But then I felt I owed it to my son to at least have some words with him about how I felt — and it didn’t go well … He talked a bit more about his own son than he did my son, and that didn’t sit well with me.” . . .

Hoover decided not to speak with Biden, claiming his family decided together that they wanted nothing to do with the president due to perceived disrespect the president showed as the caskets were offloaded. Hoover claimed that Biden checked his watch multiple times throughout the ceremony.

“That didn’t happen just once. It happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They would release the salute, and he would look down at his watch on every last one,” Hoover said. “As a father, seeing that and the disrespect, and hearing from his former leaders, one of [Taylor’s] master sergeants said that this was avoidable — that they left them over there — they had them over there and let them down, and we can’t have that. It can’t happen ever again.” (Read more from “Families of Slain Marines Call Out Biden for Disrespectful Behavior at Ceremony” HERE)

Top Retired Military Officers Call On Milley, Austin To Resign Over Afghanistan

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than 80 retired senior military officers are calling for the resignations of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley following the Biden administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“The consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverberate for decades, beginning with the safety of Americans and Afghans who are unable to move safely to evacuation points; therefore, being de facto hostages of the Taliban at this time,” Flag Officers 4 America, a group of retired generals and admirals across all military services except the Space Force, Wrote in a statement Monday. “Trust in the United States is irreparably damaged.”

The coalition of retired officers—which includes Reagan national security adviser and retired vice admiral John Poindexter, former rear admiral Rep. Ronny Jackson (R., Texas), and former four-star admiral and vice chief of naval operations Jerome Johnson—took aim at military leadership, saying adversaries such as China and Russia “are emboldened to move against America due to the weakness displayed in Afghanistan.”

“A fundamental principle in the military is holding those in charge responsible and accountable for their
actions or inactions,” the retired officers wrote. “There must be accountability at all levels for this tragic and avoidable debacle.” (Read more from “Top Retired Military Officers Call On Milley, Austin To Resign Over Afghanistan” HERE)

Mother of Slain Marine: Biden Voters ‘Killed My Son’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. The mother of slain U.S. Marine Rylee McCollum spoke out in a radio interview Saturday.

“Every Democrat who is listening, you did this to my son,” the marine’s mother, Kathy McCollum, said.

“My son did die in vain. This was an unnecessary debacle. It could have been handled properly. They had months and months to remove everyone from Afghanistan and they chose not to. And so they sent in freaking what? 6,000 troops? And my son, through the laws of statistics, my son was one of the ones that just got blown up in a freaking terrorist bomb yesterday,” McCollum said.

“I never thought in a million years that he would die for nothing. For nothing. Because a feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap wanted a photo-op on Sept. 11, that’s what kills me,” McCollum said.

“Dementia-ridden piece of crap needs to be removed from office, it never would have happened under Trump,” McCollum also said. (Read more from “Mother of Slain Marine: ‘all You Democrats … Who Voted for [Biden], You Just Killed My Son'” HERE)

‘Was It Worth It?’ A Fallen Marine And A War’s Crushing End

By The Associated Press. She was folding a red sweater when she heard a car door slam, went to the window and realized that a moment she always imagined would kill her was about to be made real: three Marines and a Navy chaplain were walking toward her door, and that could only mean one thing. . .

Staff Sergeant Steve Bancroft began an excruciating two-hour drive toward Catherwood’s parents’ house in northern Illinois. He’d served seven months in Iraq before he became a casualty assistance officer, tasked with notifying families of a death on the battlefield. . .

“Was it worth it? We lost so many people. It’s hard to think about how many we’ve lost.” he said. (Read more from “‘Was It Worth It?’ A Fallen Marine And A War’s Crushing End” HERE)

Special Ops Vets Carry Out Daring Undercover Mission to Rescue Afghan Allies Biden Left Behind

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a daring mission as the Taliban laid siege over the critical checkpoints and entrances outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport, a US special operations vets group shepherded more than 630 vulnerable Afghans to in an undercover operation dubbed as the “Pineapple Express”. The secret mission was solely strategized and led by the American war veterans that formerly served as US Green Berets and SEAL Team members.

The spec ops team escorted hundreds of Afghan Special Forces troops and their families as they began a raid into Kabul at nightfall, late Wednesday. Special ops vets filled in those stranded about a plan of action that provided safe passage to the airport, where once they reached, they each had to identify themselves with the password “pineapple” or show a photo of pineapple on their smartphone so they would be taken on board the military aircraft. . .

The special operations group was initially formed to rescue out the ex-Afghan commandos getting death threats from the Taliban for working with US special forces and elite SEAL Team Six, but the task force then resorted to helping the Afghan allies as they risked getting at least 630 discreetly through the dangerous ring of surveillance and checkpoint of the Taliban militia.

Biden Says the Taliban Has Committed to ‘Safe Passage’ of Americans Left Behind; Taliban Air: Terrorists ‘Gloatingly Fly U.S. Black Hawk’ As Person Dangles

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. President Joe Biden said Monday that the Taliban had committed to providing “safe passage” to Americans and others who were left behind and wanted to leave Afghanistan.

He made the comment in a statement released after the end of the evacuation mission at the Kabul airport was announced by the Pentagon. . .

Details of the Americans left behind were provided earlier during a media briefing with Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the head of the U.S. Central Command.

“There’s a lot of heartbreak associated with this departure. We did not get out everybody we wanted to get out,” McKenzie said.

He went on to say that he believed the number of Americans left behind were “in the low — very low hundreds.” (Read more from “President Biden Says the Taliban Has Committed to ‘Safe Passage’ of Americans Left Behind in Afghanistan” HERE)

Biden Is Hidin’ in the White House as America Ends War in Afghanistan

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden remained publicly silent from the White House on Monday as the last American forces withdrew from Afghanistan.

White House staff called a “lid” for the president’s activities for the day, just prior to the dawn of August 31 in Afghanistan, his scheduled withdrawal date.

The White House relied on a Pentagon briefing with spokesman John Kirby and Gen. Kenneth McKenzie to mark the official end of the war, after the last planes departed from the airport in Kabul.

McKenzie acknowledged there were people remaining in the country, who still needed to get evacuated.

“We did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out,” he said, describing the number as in “the very low hundreds.” (Read more from “Biden Is Hidin’ in the White House as America Ends War in Afghanistan” HERE)

Study Finds Mask Mandates Have No Substantial Effect on Slowing COVID-19 Spread

/0 Comments/in , /by

With students finally headed back to school for the fall, debate is raging nationwide over whether K-12 children should be required to wear face masks to reduce the spread of COVID-19. But a peer-reviewed study suggests that mask use and requirements during the pandemic had no substantial impact on reducing the spread of the virus.

Researchers from the University of Louisville examined COVID-19 case growth and mask use in the United States, comparing states with mask mandates to states without, and found that “mask mandates and use likely did not affect COVID-19 case growth.”

“For our study, we wanted to determine if effects of mask mandates and use were observable in the general population,” Dr. Damian Guerra, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Louisville, said. “Essentially, did the theory of mask effectiveness hold up on a population-wide level?”

Guerra observed that given the widespread adoption of mask requirements as a COVID-19 mitigation strategy, there was a need to evaluate the effectiveness of that policy. He told TheBlaze in an email that previous studies on mask-wearing using case studies, mannequin experiments, or theoretical models had produced conflicting results, but his study used states without mask mandates as a control group to better gauge the effectiveness of the policy.

JPMorgan Chase Terminates Account of General Michael Flynn Over His Political Views

/0 Comments/in , , /by

JPMorgan Chase bank has terminated the account of General Michael Flynn, citing potential “reputational risk” for providing banking services to the American patriot.

“After careful consideration, we have decided to close your credit cards on September 18, 2021 because continuing the relationship creates possible reputational risk to our company,” the banking giant wrote in a letter to Gen. Flynn.

“You may receive additional account closing notification if you have other accounts under a different name or address,” they added.

The letter can be seen here:

This news should come as no shock to anyone following what has been happening across America in recent months. Gen. Flynn may be the most prominent victim of this corporate repression meant to punish political dissidents, but others such as congressional candidates Laura Loomer and Lauren Witzke have been targeted as well.

Constitution Expert: Capitol Cop’s Reason for Shooting Babbitt Is Dangerous

/0 Comments/in , /by

A constitutional expert is warning the excuse used by Capitol police officer Michael Byrd for shooting an unarmed protester at the January riot in Washington is more than dangerous.

“Under this standard, hundreds of rioters could have been gunned down on Jan. 6 – and officers in cities such as Seattle or Portland, Ore., could have killed hundreds of violent protesters who tried to burn courthouses, took over city halls or occupied police stations during last summer’s widespread rioting,” said constitutional expert Jonathan Turley.

“In all of those protests, a small number of activists from both political extremes showed up prepared for violence and pushed others to riot. According to the DOJ’s Byrd review, officers in those cities would have been required to see a weapon in order to use lethal force in defending buildings,” he said.

A report at Legal Insurrection explained the issue has arisen again because Byrd has publicly identified himself as the cop who shot and killed an unarmed Ashli Babbitt, a veteran, on that day.
