Once Again, Biden Points Finger at Trump Over Chaotic Afghan Withdrawal

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden addressed the nation Tuesday afternoon for the first time since American troops fully withdrew from Afghanistan and pinned partial blame on former President Donald Trump for some of the chaos that unfolded during the withdrawal.

“The previous administration’s agreement said that if we stuck to the May 1st deadline that they had signed on to leave by, the Taliban wouldn’t attack any American forces,” the president said during his Tuesday speech shifting blame to negotiations Trump had with the Taliban before he took office. “But if we stayed all bets were off, so we were left with a simple decision. Either follow through on the commitment made by the last administration and leave Afghanistan or say we weren’t leaving and commit another tens of thousands more troops going back to war. That was the choice. The real choice between leaving or escalating.”

Biden said that the Taliban was in its “strongest military position since 2001” when he took office.

The president also added that August 31 was not an “arbitrary deadline” to withdrawal American troops but instead it was designed to “save lives.” (Read more from “Once Again, Biden Points Finger at Trump Over Chaotic Afghan Withdrawal” HERE)

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)

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)

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)

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.

Pompeo Responds to Biden’s Attempt To Blame Trump for Afghanistan Failure

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday pushed back on the Biden administration for blaming the Trump administration’s Taliban deal for the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Pompeo said the Trump administration had a “conditions-based” agreement with the Taliban which was not the same as the plan pursued by President Biden.

MIKE POMPEO: We were clear with the Taliban that we had this understanding–but you were going to live up to it. And we had a conditions-based withdrawal plan and we executed that. We were down from about 15,000 to a little over 2,500. And for the last 13 months of our administration, we didn’t have a single American attacked or a single American killed.

Republican lawmakers quickly reacted to the reports of terror outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan, where thousands of American citizens and allies remain stranded as the Biden administration aims to stick to the Taliban’s August 31 deadline, concluding President Biden’s “incompetence has now cost American lives.”

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby confirmed an explosion outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport on Thursday morning, affirming that the attack resulted “in a number of US & civilian casualties.” . . .

Republican lawmakers flooded social media, offering their prayers as well as sharp critiques of Biden, whom many blame for the chaos that led to the tragic display of violence Thursday morning, costing American lives.

“As a veteran who served in Afghanistan, my heart breaks for the families of the American servicemembers and the Afghan people who are learning this morning that their loved ones have been harmed or killed in a terrorist attack. My wife Amanda and I are praying and grieving with them,” Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) said in a statement.
