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.

INFOGRAPHIC: For Our COVID Response, Why Are They Hiding These Key Stats From Us?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

It took me well over 12 seconds to find the website of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, where weekly Covid updates from each country are tabulated. That level of effort finding the numbers apparently is too difficult for Pro Journalists at the HDNY Times*, CCNN, NBS, Politishmo, Yapoo and the rest.

You’d think these numbers would be newsworthy. They’re not, at least not to our current gaggle of CCP-funded objective and honest news reporters.

And beyond the censorship, why are dipsh**s excellent journalists like Aria Bendix — if that is its real name (no idea about the preferred pronouns, so playing it safe) — offering clickbait like this (“A year and a half after Sweden decided not to lock down, its COVID-19 death rate is up to 10 times higher than its neighbors”)?

I think we can all guess why.

Sweden didn’t lock down. It didn’t issue unconscionable mask mandates. It didn’t follow the CCP gameplan. It protected the most vulnerable and its economy.

But for bureaucrats, power is addictive. Power is a drug. And these people are addicts. Because these are the real numbers out of Sweden.

Anything that undermines their control, from Covid restriction resistance to the Constitution, is anathema. I refer, of course, to the entanglement of big media and indestructible federal bureaucracies driven by common interests and ideologies.

You may know this entity as the modern Democrat party.

This hellish union has resulted in a series of clumsy attempts at increasingly oppressive and centralized control of information (e.g., the Hunter Biden laptop story and relentless suppression of Constitutional voices).

We — all of us — need to continue to push back in every lawful way against these illegal and un-American dictates.

Because if we can take away anything from the chart above, it’s that lockdowns and universal masking (for all but the most vulnerable) appear to be anti-science. (For more from the author of “INFOGRAPHIC: For Our COVID Response, Why Are They Hiding These Key Stats From Us?” please click HERE)

State Lost Over 80K Ballots in 2020 Election

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Wisconsin lost track of more than 82,000 mail-in ballots cast in the state in the November 2020 elections—more than four times the margin of difference separating the two presidential candidates in the state, according to a report by the nonprofit Public Interest Legal Foundation.

The legal foundation, an election integrity watchdog group, released a research brief Friday looking at one of the most closely contested states in the 2020 presidential election.

However, the Wisconsin Elections Commission disputes those findings, as the commission spokesman said the report “mischaracterizes election systems and cherry-picks data,” adding, it is “unreliable and frankly, it’s sloppy work.”

Joe Biden defeated then-President Donald Trump by 20,682 votes in Wisconsin in the November presidential election. However, according to the legal foundation’s report, 82,766 mail-in ballots in the state were either undeliverable or suffered an unknown fate.

A further breakdown by the legal group shows that 1.4 million ballots were sent by mail. Of those, 6,458 were undeliverable. An additional 2,981 mail-in ballots were rejected. The vast majority, 76,308, met an “unknown” fate. (Read more from “State Lost Over 80K Ballots in 2020 Election” HERE)

New York Magazine’s Shocking Revelation: The Liberal Media Are Biased!

/0 Comments/in , /by

In defending President Biden’s debacle in Afghanistan, New York magazine’s Eric Levitz has come to an earth-shaking revelation. You ready? The liberal media are biased. They “manufactured” the crisis.

Levitz is shocked, shocked to discover that “straight news” stories in the New York Times are laden with judgmental adjectives and the writers’ own opinions.

He takes particular aim at Roger Cohen, the Times Paris bureau chief, saying that in stories, “he is presenting editorial judgments as factual ones.” Cohen uses the phrase “reinforces the impression,” to which Levitz says, “This is, of course, a thin scrim for concealing outright advocacy. Impressions are inherently subjective.”

You don’t say. Welcome to the awakened, Eric. The Times (and CNN and the Washington Post and the list goes on) regularly presents opinion as news. It’s not just those vague “impressions.” How about “sources are saying,” “part of the conversation,” “observers wonder” and countless other phrases that scream, “This is what I think.” (Read more from “New York Magazine’s Shocking Revelation: The Liberal Media Are Biased!” HERE)

Secretary of State Was Vacationing in Hamptons Hours Before Kabul Fell

/1 Comment/in , /by

Despite warnings that Kabul was at risk of collapse, Secretary of State Antony Blinken was vacationing in the Hamptons just hours before the Taliban invaded the Afghan capital and toppled the government, according to a report.

On the Friday afternoon before the fall of Kabul on Aug. 15, many senior White House staffers prepared to go on vacation after President Biden left for his Camp David retreat, according to the Washington Post’s detailed timeline of the Taliban takeover.

Blinken headed to the Hamptons, according to the paper.

His family has had a longtime presence in East Hampton, where Blinken’s father, Donald Blinken, a US ambassador to Hungary under President Bill Clinton, has lived seasonally on Lily Pond Lane for some 50 years, the East Hampton Star reported.

But Blinken and other top Biden administration officials — who expected the Afghan government to hang on for weeks — had to be called back to Washington, DC, when the insurgents swept to power, according to the Washington Post.

Report: Biden Brings Convicted Afghan Rapist Deported by Trump Back to U.S.

/1 Comment/in , /by

A convicted Afghan rapist deported by former President Donald Trump’s administration was reportedly brought back to the United States thanks to President Joe Biden’s massive resettlement operation out of Afghanistan.

According to the Washington Times’ Stephen Dinan, 47-year-old Afghan national Ghader Heydari was flown to Dulles International Airport in Dulles, Virginia as part of Biden’s Afghanistan resettlement operation where tens of thousands, and potentially hundreds of thousands, of Afghans are being brought to the U.S. for permanent resettlement.

Following his arrival in Dulles, Heydari was flagged by federal officials after it was revealed that he had been deported from the U.S. in 2017 after serving time for a rape conviction. . .

According to Dinan’s reporting, Heydari is currently being held at the Caroline Detention Facility in Bowling Green, Virginia. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not commented on how Heydari was able to pose as a refugee to board a U.S.-bound flight out of Afghanistan.
