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

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)

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

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

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

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)

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

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.

Secretary of State Admits Americans Are Being Left Behind in Afghanistan

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday said that “under 200” Americans who remain in Afghanistan still want to leave the country.

Blinken promised that the State Department would continue its “relentless efforts” to help Americans and U.S. allies leave Afghanistan despite the end of the military mission.

The secretary of state said that around 6,000 Americans had so far been “evacuated or otherwise departed” from Afghanistan amid the chaotic withdrawal, with only a small number still in the country. Blinken pointed out that some Americans may choose to remain.

“We believe there are still a small number of Americans, under 200 and likely closer to 100, who remain in Afghanistan and want to leave,” Blinken said during a news conference. “We’re trying to determine exactly how many. We’re going through manifests and calling and texting through our lists. And we’ll have more details to share as soon as possible.” (Read more from “Secretary of State Admits Americans Are Being Left Behind in Afghanistan” HERE)

Report: Biden Admin Bringing Afghans ‘With No Documents Whatsoever’ to U.S.

Afghans are arriving in the United States despite having “no documents whatsoever” after having been screened and approved by President Joe Biden’s federal agencies, CNN reported.

Sources with knowledge of Biden’s massive refugee resettlement operation out of Afghanistan to the U.S. told CNN that many Afghans are arriving at Dulles International Airport in Virginia without having any paperwork on them.

The goal from the top-down, a source told CNN, is to fast-track as many Afghans out of the screening and vetting process in European and Middle Eastern countries and board them on flights to the U.S. without first requiring documentation or proof of identity. . .

CNN reported:

The approach from the administration has been “get as many people on the plane as you can, and we’ll sort out the (immigration visa) stuff later,” the source added, pointing to the rush to get people out of Afghanistan after the US-backed government there collapsed. [Emphasis added]

Report: New Deal for Security at Kabul Airport Would See Taliban Recognized as Legit Government

Turkey will operate Kabul’s airport in collaboration with Qatar, according to a new report.

As part of the deal, Turkey — a NATO member — will recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan, according to a report by the London-based news outlet Middle East Eye.

News media accounts throughout the frenzied evacuation in Kabul last week pictured the deal to run the airport once the U.S. leaves this week as an on-again, off-again transaction.
