‘American Taliban’: CNN Compares Conservatives to Terror Group (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

CNN anchor Jim Acosta attacked Republicans and singled-out Fox News host Tucker Carlson on his weekend show Saturday, comparing some Republican lawmakers to the Taliban and calling Carlson a “human manure spreader.”

At the center of his criticism, Acosta blasted Republicans and Carlson for expressing concern about the influx of Afghan refugees into the U.S. Carlson, for example, has said “They’re not all heroes. We don’t know who they are,” while Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), for example, has raised alarm about the refugee vetting process.

“Over on Fox, human manure spreader Tucker Carlson has floated yet another race-baiting conspiracy theory that tens of thousands of Afghan refugees are being welcomed into this country in order to change the outcome of future elections,” Acosta said.

While delivering his anti-GOP monologue, CNN blared a chyron at the bottom of the screen that read, “It’s the far-right, not Afghan refugees, posing a threat to democracy.”

Marine’s Shocking Video of Afghanistan Withdrawal Exposes Just How Insanely Chaotic ​Evacuation Was​

/0 Comments/in , /by

Raw and shocking footage of the U.S. evacuation from Kabul shows much more chaotic scenes than many were led to believe happened during the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Real-life, behind-the-scenes video clips were released last week by Marine Cpl. Mike Markland. The Marine, who was at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, captured the grittiness and desperation of the hurried evacuation of the Afghan capital as the Taliban marched toward power.

Markland stitched together video clips from a GoPro camera attached to his helmet to show exactly how tumultuous and unorganized the evacuation at the Kabul airport was. The firsthand footage reveals “two straight weeks of worsening conditions” on the ground as seen from the viewpoint of the Marine from 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment.

Markland posted the video on his Instagram, but it has since been deleted. Task & Purpose published the video, as well as Markland’s commentary from social media, which has also been removed.

“I hope this answers questions but also provokes you to ask more,” Markland captioned the since-deleted Instagram video. “To my brothers and sisters who were there I made this for you and your family. When you have the lack of ability to explain all that happened in those two weeks, show them this. Stand tall and wear the last two weeks on your chest.” (Read more from “Marine’s Shocking Video of Afghanistan Withdrawal Exposes Just How Insanely Chaotic ​Evacuation Was​” HERE)

WATCH: WH Dismisses Male Reporter’s Abortion Question on Biden’s Catholicism

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dismissed a male reporter’s question on President Joe Biden’s Catholicism and abortion by telling the reporter, “I know you’ve never had to face these choices.”

EWTN’s Owen Jensen asked the White House press secretary why Biden supports abortion when “his own Catholic faith” teaches that the procedure is morally wrong. . .

Jensen, who has repeatedly pointed out the contradictions between Biden’s faith and public policy, asked: “But who does he believe then, should look out for the unborn child?”

“He believes that it is up to a woman to make those decisions and up to a woman to make those decisions with her doctor. I know you’ve never faced those choices, nor have you ever been pregnant, but for women out there who have faced those choices, this is an incredibly difficult thing, the president believes that right should be respected.”

‘Impeach Biden, Impeach Kamala Harris’ — GOP Rep. Goes off on Administration at House Freedom Caucus Press Conference (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert said both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris should be impeached during the House Freedom Caucus press conference held Tuesday.

“The blame starts at the top with Biden and his hand-picked Vice President who bragged that she was right there making the same bad decisions. And if not for her own dereliction of duty, she should be impeached for not demanding we invoke the 25th amendment. It is time for action. Impeach Biden. Impeach Kamala Harris,” Boebert said at the press conference.

“And throw in the Secretary of State if you can get him back from vacation. Take a vote to vacate the chair to get Nancy Pelosi the heck out of here,” Boebert added.

The comments came after Republican Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins introduced resolutions calling for the resignations of Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and General Mark Milley prior to the press conference. The group of House Republicans slammed Biden and his administration, saying they failed at their job after at least 13 U.S. service members were killed in one of the deadliest days for U.S. service members in Afghanistan in over a decade.

The Republicans also pushed for a vote on a resolution to impeach Secretary Of State Antony Blinken, introduced Friday by Republican Reps. Ralph Norman of South Carolina and Andy Harris of Maryland. They said Biden, and specifically, Blinken were solely responsible for the ongoing bloodshed in Afghanistan.

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)

By Breitbart. The White House said Friday that President Joe Biden still had confidence in his generals and in Secretary of State Tony Blinken after their disastrous performance in Afghanistan.

Someone Has Been Fired Over Afghanistan and It Isn’t the Generals

By Townhall. As Julio reported Friday morning, Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller risked his career by speaking out against military leadership’s disastrous handling of Afghanistan. . .

“To all my friends across the social networks. I have been relieved for cause based on a lack of trust and confidence as of 14:30 today, My chain of command is doing exactly what I would do… if I were in their shoes. I appreciate the opportunities AITB command provided. To all the news agencies asking for interviews… I will not be making any statements other than what’s on my social platforms until I exit the Marine Corps,” Scheller wrote in a Facebook post. “America has many issues… but it’s my home… it’s where my three sons will become men. America is still the light shining in a fog of chaos. When my Marine Corps career comes to an end, I look forward to a new beginning. My life’s purpose is to make America the most lethal and effective foreign diplomacy instrument. While my days of hand to hand violence may be ending…I see a new light on the horizon. Semper.” (Read more from “Someone Has Been Fired Over Afghanistan and It Isn’t the Generals” HERE)

‘I Am Willing To Throw It All Away to … Demand Accountability’: 17-Year Marine Veteran Loses Career After Viral Video

By Daily Caller. Marine battalion commander Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller said in a video that he was willing to “throw” away his military career as he demanded accountability from senior leaders over the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“People are upset because their senior leaders let them down and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying ‘we messed this up,” Scheller said in the video posted Thursday on Facebook and LinkedIn that has since gone viral. The comments were noted by Task and Purpose.

“If an O-5 battalion commander has the simplest live fire incident, EO complaint. Boom. Fired,” he added. “But we have a secretary of defense that testified to Congress in May that the Afghan National Security Forces could withstand the Taliban advance. We have Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs — who the commandant is a member of that — who’s supposed to advise on military policy. We have a Marine combatant commander. All of these people are supposed to advise.”

“I’m not saying we’ve got to be in Afghanistan forever, but I am saying: Did any of you throw your rank on the table and say ‘hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone,’” the 17-year Marine veteran said.

CNN: Biden ‘Should Be Congratulated’ for Doing ‘Extremely Good Job’ on Afghanistan Evacuations (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

CNN guest and political commentator Matthew Dowd has been one of the growing liberal voices to say President Joe Biden should be praised for his handling of the chaotic and last-minute evacuations from Kabul in the aftermath of the Taliban taking over Afghanistan.

According to Dowd, Biden was given a difficult situation to begin with and he has handled it well, despite the multiple deaths at Hamid Karzai International Airport and the increasing prospect American citizens will be left behind after the U.S. military withdraws from the city on August 31.

“He was dealt a horrible situation and as of today, he’s done an extremely good job in the situation. There were many people over the last seven days that said there is no possible way he could get 50,000 people out. No possible way and that was the number of people who thought had to get out. He’s got 70,000 people in the last eight days. 70,000 people out of Afghanistan in the last days and I actually think the President from what he was dealt and done over the course of the last week, should be congratulated on the way this was done,” Dowd, who used to be a Republican strategist, said.
