In July 23rd Phone Call, Biden Tells Afghanistan President “There is a Need to Project a Different Picture” Concerning the State of the Country

Reuters.com reports that

In the last call between U.S. President Joe Biden and his Afghanistan counterpart before the Taliban seized control of the country, the leaders discussed military aid, political strategy and messaging tactics, but neither Biden nor Ashraf Ghani appeared aware of or prepared for the immediate danger of the entire country falling to insurgents, a transcript reviewed by Reuters shows.

The men spoke for roughly 14 minutes on July 23. On August 15, Ghani fled the presidential palace, and the Taliban entered Kabul. Since then, tens of thousands of desperate Afghans have fled and 13 U.S. troops and scores of Afghan civilians were killed in a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport during the frenetic U.S. military evacuation.

Reuters reviewed a transcript of the presidential phone call and has listened to the audio to authenticate the conversation. The materials were provided on condition of anonymity by a source who was not authorized to distribute it.

In the call, Biden offered aid if Ghani could publicly project he had a plan to control the spiraling situation in Afghanistan. “We will continue to provide close air support, if we know what the plan is,” Biden said. Days before the call, the U.S. carried out air strikes to support Afghan security forces, a move the Taliban said was in violation of the Doha peace agreement.

The U.S. president also advised Ghani to get buy-in from powerful Afghans for a military strategy going forward, and then to put a “warrior” in charge of the effort, a reference to Defense Minister General Bismillah Khan Mohammadi.

Biden lauded the Afghan armed forces, which were trained and funded by the U.S. government. “You clearly have the best military,” he told Ghani. “You have 300,000 well-armed forces versus 70-80,000 and they’re clearly capable of fighting well.” Days later, the Afghan military started folding across provincial capitals in the country with little fight against the Taliban.

In much of the call, Biden focused on what he called the Afghan government’s “perception” problem. “I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,” Biden said. “And there is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.”

Biden told Ghani that if Afghanistan’s prominent political figures were to give a press conference together, backing a new military strategy, “that will change perception, and that will change an awful lot I think.”

The American leader’s words indicated he didn’t anticipate the massive insurrection and collapse to come 23 days later. “We are going to continue to fight hard, diplomatically, politically, economically, to make sure your government not only survives, but is sustained and grows,” said Biden.

The White House Tuesday declined to comment on the call.

In what is left of Joe Biden’s mind, perception is reality.

That is an old adage favored by politicians and others who lie for a living.

This conversation between Biden and the Afghan President is just another stranded in the tangled web which Biden and his staff wove which led to the debacle in Afghanistan.

Biden wanted to false project strength to Americans and the rest of the Free World, in a desperate attempt to convince everybody that he was in control of the Afghanistan “Situation” regarding the Taliban.

In reality, #DementiaJoe did not have a clue.

Just like in the best seller from the 1970s, “The Peter Principle”, Joe Biden had risen to up to a level at which his incompetency was becoming harder and harder to hide.

He wanted the Afghanistan President to “change the perception” of the rapidly-unraveling country, so that it, in turn, would convince everyone that he, as the President of the Greatest Country on Earth, knew how to handle Foreign Policy Issues, despite what his 40-year track record in Washington showed.

Unfortunately for Sleepy Joe, B.S. can only get you so far.

When the rubber met the road and the Taliban started taking over, it was too late for feeble-minded Biden to do anything about it, except to implement the a@@-backwards strategy of pulling our military out first and then scramble to get American Citizens and our Afghani Allies out later.

Instead of cutting the head off of the snake known as the Taliban when he had the chance, Biden’s ignorance of the true situation allowed them to take over the country.

And, yesterday, when he spoke to Americans, instead of admitting his mistakes, he doubled-down on his ignorance, blaming, Trump, the Afghanis, and anyone else he could think of…except himself and his Military Leaders.

He knew that he had failed.

That is why he spent the majority of yesterday’s speech yelling at Americans.

After all, in Biden’s demented state, I am sure that we share equal blame with President Trump and the Afghanis for not realizing just how brilliant a 78-year old professional politician who was installed as President, actually is.

Why do images of Wile E. Coyote, knocking on Bugs bunny’s door, introducing himself as a “suuuper genius” come to my mind?

Biden Leaves Americans Still in Afghanistan to the “Mercy” of the Taliban

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

FoxNews.com reports that

President Biden appears to have broken his promise to stay in Afghanistan until every American is evacuated.

Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr. announced Monday evening that the last of the U.S. troops stationed at the Kabul airport had left, completing the military’s drawdown in the country, even though hundreds of Americans likely remain.

McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, said some American citizens who wanted to leave Afghanistan remain in country.

“We did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out,” he said.

President Joe Biden told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos during an interview on Aug. 18 that the U.S. military objective in Afghanistan was to get “everyone” out, including Americans and Afghan allies and their families.

“That’s what we’re doing now, that’s the path we’re on. And I think we’ll get there,” he said. “If there’s American citizens left, we’re gonna stay to get them all out.”

A senior State Department official told Fox News on Monday that there is still a “small number” of Americans who are in Afghanistan.

That official put the number of Americans at “below 250,” adding that some additional Americans have departed Afghanistan in recent hours. The official added that the State Department is also committed to evacuating “those who worked with us,” referring to Afghan “partners.”

The announced end of the withdrawal comes less than a day before the official deadline agreed to by the Taliban, which was 3:29 p.m. EST Tuesday – 11:59 p.m. local time in Kabul, U.S. defense officials told Fox News.

The Taliban has said they will allow normal travel after the U.S. withdrawal is completed on Tuesday and they assume control of the airport.

Uh huh.

One of the advantages of being **cough** older, is that I remember when Americans were left behind in the middle of another Middle Eastern “Revolution”.

Are you old enough to remember the Iranian Hostage Crisis? If not, here is a summary, courtesy of u-s-history.com:

On November 4, 1979, an angry mob of some 300 to 500 “students” who called themselves “Imam’s Disciples,” laid siege to the American Embassy in Teheran, Iran, to capture and hold hostage 66 U.S. citizens and diplomats. Although women and African-Americans were released a short time later, 51 hostages remained imprisoned for 444 days with another individual released because of illness midway through the ordeal.

…Upon the death of the shah in July [1980] (which neutralized one demand) and the Iraqi invasion of Iran in September (necessitating weapons acquisition), Iran became more amenable to reopening negotiations for the hostages’ release.

In the late stages of the presidential race with Ronald Reagan, Carter, given those new parameters, might have been able to bargain with the Iranians, which might have clinched the election for him. The 11th-hour heroics were dubbed an “October Surprise”* by the Reagan camp — something they did not want to see happen.

Allegations surfaced that William Casey, director of the Reagan campaign, and some CIA operatives, secretly met with Iranian officials in Europe to arrange for the hostages’ release, but not until after the election. If true, some observers aver, dealing with a hostile foreign government to achieve a domestic administration’s defeat would have been grounds for charges of treason.

Reagan won the election, partly because of the failure of the Carter administration to bring the hostages home. Within minutes of Reagan’s inauguration, the hostages were released.

In sharp contrast, the 46th President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, has just, whether intentionally or unintentionally, armed wild-eyed Radical Islamic Terrorists with $2 billion worth of American Military Weapons, including helicopters and left hundred of Americans behind to be killed or taken hostage.

Biden makes Carter look competent.

WTH were Biden’s Handlers thinking when they told him to ignore his Military Advisors and take our Armed Forces out of Afghanistan before he took American citizens and our Afghan Allies out?

I realize that, at this point in his battle against dementia, Biden is just an empty vessel, who cannot speak without first receiving instructions through his earwig.

However, shouldn’t some little sliver of neurons lift in his cranium have fired off, telling him what would happen if he abandoned Americans to the “mercy” of the Taliban?

I haven’t seen a move this stupid since “Tommy’s parents left him at home to be baby-sat by “Wicked Uncle Ernie” (look it up, kids). 

I realize that, Bidden will not be impeached as long as Nancy Pelosi remains the Speaker of the House of Representatives,

However, if there was EVER a president that needs to be boot out of the front door of the White House, it is Sleepy Joe Biden.

How callous can the Democrats who are handling him and advising him be?

Their arrogance and their distancing themselves from us “Deplorables” has erased whatever Patriotism and Common Sense they ever had.

I can only imagine what our Founding Fathers would have done to tis irresponsible, anti-American bunch of cowards.

May God protect those Americans whom Biden and Company have left behind.

Until He Comes,

Biden Agrees to Take a Reporter’s Question Even Though He is “Not Supposed to”, Reporter Starts to Ask About Afghanistan, Biden Walks Away

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Image

FoxNews.com reports that

President Biden blew off a question about Afghanistan after offering to take questions at the Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington on Sunday.

Biden was at FEMA to address the response to Hurricane Ida, which strengthened to a Category 4 before making landfall in Louisiana earlier Sunday.

“I’m not supposed to take any questions but go ahead,” Biden told Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Jacobs.

Jacobs began, “Mr. President, on Afghanistan—”

“I’m not gonna answer on Afghanistan now,” Biden interjected before walking away from the podium.

The Republican National Committee slammed the exchange, which came three days after ISIS-K terrorists attacked the airport in Kabul, killing 13 U.S. service members and more than 170 Afghans.

Biden has faced widespread criticism over his execution of the U.S. military withdrawal in Afghanistan and his actions during and after the collapse of Kabul, which completed the Taliban’s retaking of the country 20 years after their ouster by U.S.-led forces. The president has repeatedly defended his plan while hundreds of U.S. citizens and tens of thousands of Afghan allies and Afghans vulnerable to Taliban reprisal remain stranded in the country.

Just last month, Biden assured Americans that a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan was not likely and that he trusted “the capacity of the Afghan military.” The president largely avoided cameras during the Aug. 15 collapse of Kabul, watching it unfold from the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.

Three days after the Kabul collapse, Biden was fiercely criticized after he gave public remarks about COVID-19 and failed to address the crisis in Afghanistan or take any questions. On Tuesday, his remarks from the White House were delayed more than four hours after being rescheduled twice, and the U.S. evacuation effort in Afghanistan was the last topic he addressed after touting his Build Back Better agenda.

“I’m not supposed to take any questions…”

Again with the “I’m not supposed to…”

You are the President of the United States of America! You can answer any question that you want to…or that you are able to.

Biden did not answer the reporter’s question because he was not mentally able to.

Who is/are the puppet master(s) behind the living breathing dementia-riddled mannequin that is Joe Biden?

A lot of fun has been had at Biden’s expense over the fact that he is losing his war with dementia.

However, in terms of the safety of our country’s citizens and our nation’s continued existence, it is definitely not a laughing matter.

Any American who paid attention during the campaign soon figured out that Biden has some serious mental and physical health issues.

It was one thing to over look his inappropriate behavior during the Obama Presidency when he was just the Vice-President and Obama, Susan Rice, and Valerie Jarret were running the show, anyway.

Guess what?

They are still running the show!

I am certain that it has been difficult for them to cover for Biden’s compromised state.

They knew that he was a doddering old fool even before the Democratic Primaries.

However, when the time came for Biden to start appearing during the Democrat Primaries and then, the Presidential Campaign itself, it was quite obvious that “Lunch Bucket Joe” was shy a potato chip or two.

Now, the President of the United States of America reminds average Americans of their relatives who live in nursing homes whom they have not seen in a while because they cannot bear to witness them deteriorating like Biden is.

HIs wife, “Dr.” Jill Biden and the rest of his Handlers can try as hard as they can to hide his condition.

Unfortunately, as we have noticed, Joe is declining physically as well as mentally.

Vice-President Kamala Harris and the Democrat Elites know that Joe’s time in the Oval Office is limited.

That is why she has been distancing herself from him by taking trips.

Even she knows that Biden is responsible for the situation in Afghanistan brought about by his pulling our troops out and closing up Bagram before he got the American Civilians and our allies out.

Joe Biden is a perfect example of the “Peter Principle”, a book published decades ago, which posited the theory that people rise in their professional endeavors to their level of incompetence.

The problem with having the Dummy From Delaware sitting in the Oval Office is that he is not paying the price for his incompetence.

We are.

August 26, 2021 Another “Day Which Will Live in Infamy”…And Not Just Because of Our Enemies’ Actions

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

Image

https://twitter.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1431009273782304768?s=20

You know, at 62 years of age, I have a lot of memories.

Memories of great American accomplishments like the Moon Landing.

And, memories of horrible events like the largest Islamic Terrorist Attack ever on American Soil on September 11, 2001.

Now, to add to those horrible memories, I, like the rest of my fellow Americans, have to live with the knowledge that a President of the United States of America is running away like a scalded dog after 13 of our Brightest and Best were murdered by 2 suicide bombers at Kabul Airport in Afghanistan, trying to save Americans and Afghanis from being executed by the Taliban due to mistakes made by this same arrogant dementia-riddled “Surrenderer-in-Chief”.

I was going to ask “What person in their right mind pulls out their military force from a dangerous country before they do their own government workers, civilian operatives and interpreters?”

However, therein lies the crux of the matter: The President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, is NOT in his right mind.

He is in the throes of dementia, which, along with his advanced years, has left him feeble and weak, and unable to perform the duties of the President of the United States of America.

No President in their right mind would have allowed yesterday’s attack to happen.

Biden’s predecessor, Former President Donald J. Trump, left him in the catbird’s seat. There had been no attacks on our soldiers in Afghanistan in 18 months prior to yesterday.

Trump had literally cowered the leader of the Taliban back into his cave by threatening to unleash Hell on them and their families, if he dared to attack us.

So, what did Biden do?

He got rid of Trump’s deal which kept our people over in Afghanistan safe.

And, when the Taliban had taken over, he sent his CIA Director to have a secret meeting with the leader of the Taliban.

Not only that, but Biden’s people gave the Taliban a list of Americans and Afghanis that they wanted them to “escort” to the Kabul Airport.

I’m serious.

After yesterday’s attack, his Handlers made him come out and have a Press Conference late yesterday afternoon, he mumbled something about accepting the blame for what happened…and then he blamed Trump.

Make no mistake….

In no way was yesterday’s Islamic Terrorist Attack Trump’s fault.

The blood of those 13 dead service members can be found on the hands of President Joe Biden.

The Democrats’ lust for complete and absolute power which led them to change the rules of our Presidential Election, allowing them to cheat to win, has now put the entire Free World in danger.

Elections do indeed have consequences.

And, I am afraid that the consequences for us as a country are just beginning.

I sure could use a mean Tweet right about now.

Until He Comes,

WH Cuts Off Biden’s Mic as He Smarts Off to Reporter Who Asked Him What He Will Do If Americans Are Still in Afghanistan After the 8/31 Deadline

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Image

FoxNews.com reports that 

The White House cut off the audio feed for President Joe Biden after he was posed a question Wednesday on stranded Americans in Afghanistan.

As he wrapped up a meeting on cybersecurity in the State Dining Room, Biden dismissed the press as they continued to ask questions. However, he appeared to answer one reporter’s query before leaving.

NBC’s Peter Alexander asked, “If Americans are still in Afghanistan after the deadline what will you do?”

The White House then proceeded to cut off the audio feed from Biden’s response. It was unclear if the maneuver was coincidental or done to prevent feed viewers from hearing any off-the-cuff comments.

Alexander later confirmed the exchange and noted Biden answered, “You’ll be the first person I call.”

He tweeted “I asked President Biden what he will do if Americans are still in Afghanistan after the 8/31 deadline. His response: ‘You’ll be the first person I call.’ Took no questions.”

Other reporters on the scene confirmed the exchange including Daily Caller correspondent Shelby Talcott, Breitbart correspondent Charlie Spiering, and Voice of America’s Steve Herman.

Republicans accused the White House of trying to protect the president.

Former Mitch McConnell chief of staff Josh Holmes tweeted, “The White House cuts the President’s microphone. Pretty remarkable.”

Republican communicator Matt Whitlock tweeted, “Oh my gosh they cut the President’s microphone so nobody could hear him answer. That’s how worried this White House is about Biden answering questions on Afghanistan.”

Others decried what seemed like a callous response from the president.

Biden has faced intense criticism for the Taliban’s recent takeover of Afghanistan following his removal of U.S. troops, and he’s continually dodged questions regarding efforts to rescue stranded Americans in the country.

Biden has been an arrogant ass for the entire length of his decades-long career as a Professional Politician.

The problem that his Handlers are facing is the fact that dementia often not only magnifies an individual’s worst personality traits, it destroys their “filter” as well.

So, instead of Biden responding to the reporter’s question like an American President, he responded like a 7th-Grader.

Unfortunately for those Americans stranded in Afghanistan, Biden’s answer revealed their fate.

He really does not care whether they make it home or not.

If they are captured, tortured, and beheaded, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of the Democrats and their minions in the Main Stream Media will blame what happens to them on Former President Trump.

Biden is like every other member of the Democrat Elite: It is never their fault when a plan goes sideways or a decision they made winds up being a bad one.

And, the Democrats who installed him as Leader of the Free World will be as guilty as the Taliban for what happens to those Americans who are unfortunate enough to be left behind in Afghanistan.

The whole world is going to see them meet their fate, thanks to the 24/7 News Cycle.

Biden and his Handlers have damaged our Sovereign Nation so badly that it is liable to take decades to restore America to its rightful place among the world’s countries.

The President of the United States of America is supposed to be our greatest advocate, not our greatest enemy.

And the thing is, even if Biden steps down or is impeached, Heels Up Harris and the Wicked Witch of the West, Nancy Pelosi, are next in the line of succession, at least until the Midterm Elections. 

The Democrats have shamed. embarrassed, and endangered our country.

God protect us.

Until He Comes,

“Neville Chamberlain on Steroids” Biden to Complete Afghanistan Pullout on August 31st Per Taliban Demand

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

 

Afghan Translators Betrayed

Newsmax.com reports that

 

President Joe Biden said Tuesday the United States intends to complete its pullout from Afghanistan by August 31 and needs to withdraw rapidly because of a growing risk of terrorist attacks.

“The sooner we can finish, the better,” Biden said of the plan to evacuate Americans, Afghan nationals and US troops from Taliban-controlled Kabul.

“Each day of operations brings added risk to our troops.”

The US president said he had discussed the evacuation with Group of Seven leaders earlier Tuesday and they agreed to “continue our close cooperation to get people out as efficiently and safely as possible.”

“We are currently on the pace to finish by August 31,” said Biden, who has been under pressure from some European leaders to extend the deadline to ensure the evacuation of everyone who is seeking to flee the country.

He said meeting the August 31 deadline was contingent “upon the Taliban continuing to cooperate and allow access to the airport for those who we’re transporting out.”

“I’ve asked the Pentagon and the State Department for contingency plans to adjust the timetable should that become necessary,” Biden added.

The Taliban have been “taking steps to work with us” so far, Biden said, but there is an “acute and growing risk of an attack by a terrorist group known as ISIS-K,” or Islamic State-Khorasan.

“Every day we’re on the ground is another day we know that ISIS-K is seeking to target the airport and attack both US and allied forces and innocent civilians,” he said.

US-led troops have ramped up operations to get thousands of people out of Kabul by August 31 — the deadline set by the US before the fall of the capital for all foreign troops to have pulled out.

Biden said the United States has evacuated 70,700 people since August 14 — the day before the Taliban took power in Kabul — including 6,400 in the past 12 hours.

US officials said more than 4,000 Americans were among those flown out of Hamid Karzai International Airport in the Afghan capital.

Several thousand other people have been evacuated by allied European nations, such as Germany and the United Kingdom.

The Taliban urged skilled Afghans not to flee the country on Tuesday and warned the United States and its NATO allies they would not accept an extension to the evacuation deadline.

Gentle Readers, think for a moment how the leadership of this Sovereign nation has changed in just a few short months.

We have literally gone from a Commander-in Chief who sincerely loved this country and her people to a Coward-in-Chief who have surrendered to the Taliban, the same Radical Islamic Terrorists who killed over 3,000 Americans almost 20 years ago on September 11, 2001.

How far we have come…in the wrong direction.

Joe Biden has now eclipsed Jimmy Carter as the worst United States President in Modern Times.

Carter only allowed 52 Americans to be held hostage by Radical Islamists.

Biden is about to allow thousands of Americans to be either held hostage or beheaded on international television for the world to see how weak America has become.

How did we get here?

Whose fault is it?

It is the fault of the Far Left Democratic Party, who were so desperate to regain the White House that they were forced to nominate a doddering old fool in the throes of dementia because all of the other primary candidates had the personality of a cardboard cutout.

To add to the problem, the professional politician that they chose had a 40 year track record of making horrible Foreign Policy decisions.

And, even though Biden ran as a Moderate, he has governed as a Far Left Radical Socialist, even taking a knee at the White House with the NBA Champions.

All of our enemies, foreign and domestic, must be throwing a party.

The Democrats installed Neville Chamberlain on Steroids as President of the Greatest Country on God’s Green Earth.

Nero fiddled and just burned down Rome.

The Democrats are about to set the Free World on fire.

Damage Control: WH Press Sec Psaki Says It Is “Irresponsible” to Say Americans Are Stranded in Afghanistan

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

 

FoxNews.com reports that

White House press secretary Jen Psaki grew visibly annoyed during the press briefing Monday when she was asked whether President Biden was aware that most of the criticism against the Afghanistan withdrawal was about Americans being “stranded” in Kabul.

“Does the president have a sense that most of the criticism is not of leaving Afghanistan? It’s the way that he has ordered it to happen by pulling the troops before getting these Americans who are now stranded. Does he have a sense of that?” Fox News’ White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked.

Psaki said it was “irresponsible” to say that Americans are stranded in Afghanistan. “I think it’s irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not. We are committed to bringing Americans who want to come home, home.”

Doocy followed up and asked whether “there are no Americans stranded” is the official White House position.

“I’m just calling you out for saying we are stranding Americans in Afghanistan when we have been very clear that we are not leaving Americans who want to return home,” Psaki said. “We are going to bring them home and I think that’s important for the American public to hear and understand.”

Doocy later asked Psaki whether Americans being beaten up by the Taliban and Afghans passing babies over barbed-wire fences was what Biden meant when he said, “America is back.”

“What the president meant is that we are going to continue to lead in the world including being the leaders in evacuating not just our Afghan partners, not just American citizens, but also our allies,” Psaki replied.

Fox News had reached out to Psaki on Saturday about an American woman who described being trapped from reaching the Kabul airport. The White House never issued a response.

“I really have given up hope, given up on the hope of going to the airport,” the woman, whose identity is being withheld due to concerns for her safety, told Fox News. “It’s just not possible to make it through all those people.”

She said there are as many as 20 Taliban checkpoints between her and the airport – and she’s one of an uncertain number of American citizens trapped behind enemy lines.

She was whipped by Taliban fighters on one attempt to get through, she said. A man standing near her was shot in the head on another try, leaving his wife and baby in tears. Since then, she’s been in hiding.

I haven’t seen an Administration as full of incompetent liars as this one is….since the Obama Administration.

They continue to dig a hole which they have dug deeper with every lie that they tell.

The entire world is laughing at Biden and those who work in his Administration.

Just as Doc Holliday’s (Val Kilmer) hypocrisy knew no bounds in the movie “Tombstone”, the Biden Administration’s incompetence knows no bounds in attempting to deal with the Crisis in Afghanistan.

Yes, there are Americans stranded there who cannot get to the Kabul Airport because it is surrounded by the Taliban, who are also going door-to-door, seeking Americans and our Afghan Allies.

If was Biden’s own arrogance, magnified by his dementia, that brought about the Afghanistan Crisis and, if a miracle does not happen, a hostage crisis which will make Iran dwarf in comparison.

Until he sends our military to the Americans who are “in country” to escort them safely to the airport, they will never make it, regardless of Biden’s naïve “agreements” he may have made with the Radical Islamic Barbarians.

The only thing that the Taliban understands is a leader with steely resolve, backed up by the will to use military force, if necessary.

Biden acts like he is scared of the Taliban.

Trump was not.

Biden’s botching of this situation has not only endangered Americans in Afghanistan, it has endangered everyone living in America, as well.

The rest of our enemies, like Putin, and Xi, have seen how weak Biden is, and had better believe that they are watching and waiting to see how they can take advantage of incompetence.

American has never been more vulnerable than we are now.

May God protect us.

Biden Defends Making Decision “No One Else Can or Will Make”, Completely Ignoring That Americans are Not Upset About the Pullout…They’re Upset He Botched It

President Joe Biden on Sunday said he had no qualms about removing U.S. troops from Afghanistan, telling reporters he had a decision to make, a judgment “no one else can or will make,” and that he is convinced he’s “absolutely correct in not deciding to send more young women and men to war for a war that is not warranted.”

Answering a question about a CBS poll published earlier Sunday that found that just 49% of Americans consider his actions competent – compared with 56% in April – Biden defended his decision for the U.S.’ chaotic exit from Afghanistan, which resulted in the swift takeover of the Afghan government by the Taliban.

“I haven’t seen that poll,” Biden said, laughing when he was told it was from CBS News.

“I had a basic decision to make. I either withdraw America from a 20-year war, that depending on whose analysis you accept, cost us $150 million a day for 20 years or $300 million a day for 20 years. Lost 2,448 Americans dead 20,722 wounded. I either increase the number of forces and keep that going or end the war,” he said.

“I decided to end the war. The only reason we are in Afghanistan is because this is the place from which (Osama) bin Laden attacked the United States of America. If this had been in other Middle Eastern country where he could have easily moved from, we would have never gone to Afghanistan.

“The question is when is the right time to leave? Where are our national interests? Where do they lie? The idea that we are in a situation where we cannot recognize that terrorism has metastasized around the world and the need for us to focus on other parts of the world which create an even greater danger of another al Qaeda-like operation can’t be ignored. We are in a number of places where we are doing that without permanent basing American forces there.”

Biden, under a barrage of criticism from U.S. allies, including NATO and Group of Seven members, also expressed confidence that Americans “will have a clear understanding of what I did, why we did it. That’s the job. My job is to make judgments, to make judgments no one else can or will make. I made them; I’m convinced I’m absolutely correct in not deciding to send more young women and men to war for a war that is not warranted.”

The president also touted the U.S.’s evacuation efforts, saying troops have evacuated nearly 33,000 people from Afghanistan since July, including American citizens, citizens of NATO allies and “our partners” and their diplomats and embassy staff, and promised that Americans who wants to get home “will get home.”

“We are also working to move our Afghan allies who stood with us side by side and other vulnerable Afghans such as women leaders and journalists out of the country,” Biden said.

He also acknowledged that the evacuation of thousands of people from Kabul will be “hard and painful, no matter when it started, when we began.”

“There’s no way to evacuate this many people without pain or loss and heartbreaking images you see on television. It’s just a fact. My heart aches for those people you see. We are proving that we can, though, move thousands of people out of Kabul. … But we have a long way to go. A lot can still go wrong. To move out 30,000 people in just over a week, that’s a great testament to the men and women on the ground in Kabul and our armed services.”

Biden said the U.S. has expanded its efforts to help evacuate Americans who’ve struggled to reach the Kabul airport and may extend the Aug. 31 deadline for a full U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“We’re working hard and as fast as we can to get people out,” Biden said Sunday at the White House. “That’s our mission, that’s our goal.”

The president declined to provide more detail about U.S. efforts to assist people outside of the Kabul airport perimeter. Biden said about 7,800 people were evacuated over the weekend, bringing the total since Aug. 14 to more than 25,000.

Biden’s Handlers, since he is no longer able to think on his own, are desperately trying to spin the blowback from his horrible handling of the Afghanistan Pullout into a fallacious argument that all the dissent is about the act of pulling out of Afghanistan.

Former President Trump had already devised a strategy for leaving Afghanistan. He had already reduced the number of American Military in Afghanistan.

He was doing it the right way.

Who in their right mind and with any common sense whatsoever would close Bagram Air Force Base, take our troops out of the country, and THEN tell the civilians to leave? 

Joe Biden did.

And, as Former President Trump has said, this is the greatest Foreign Policy Humiliation in American History.

Our enemies around the world now know that we have a spineless demented old fool for President and “Woke” Military Leaders advising him who are nothing but a bunch of namby-pamby pencil pushers whom General George S. Patton would slap en masse like Moe slapping Larry and Curly in a Three Stooges Short.

It is obvious that Biden has completely left reality behind.

His Handlers can no longer cover for him.

Even Main Stream Media Outlets, like CBS and CNN, are beginning to turn on him because it is too dangerous to their continued existence to continue to cover for him.

Even Biden and his supporters attempting to blame this fiasco on Trump is not working.

Reason being, the whole wide world can see very clearly that Biden is not fit to be the President of the United States of America.

“Sleepy Joe” is off his rocker.

It is time for him to leave the Presidency and be put back on his rocker on his front porch in Delaware…where he can wave at the cars going by.

Until He Comes,

At Rally in Alabama, Trump Calls Biden’s Botched Afghanistan Exit “Greatest Foreign Policy Humiliation” in US History, Says “Everything Woke Turns to Sh**”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Newsmax.com reports that

In a show of presidential strength, against President Joe Biden’s failed Afghanistan withdrawal, former President Donald Trump delivered pointed remarks at a packed Save America rally in Cullman, Alabama, on Saturday night.

“I warned the entire country of the disastrous consequences of a Biden presidency,” Trump said. “I understood; a lot of you understood it. I said Joe Biden would eliminate America’s borders in the middle of a pandemic. He did.

“I predicted that he would unleash a wave of violent crime that would turn our cities into a nightmare of killing and bloodshed.”

It was Trump’s fourth post-presidential rally and was billed to be the biggest one yet, particularly with national security questions rising amid the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.

“Biden failed totally on the pandemic, and he’s now overseeing the greatest foreign policy humiliation in the history of the United States of America,” Trump said. “This is the greatest humiliation I’ve ever seen.

“Biden’s botched exit in Afghanistan is the most astonishing display of gross incompetence by a nation’s leader – perhaps at any time that anybody’s ever seen.

“Name another situation like this. Vietnam looks like a master class in strategy compared to Joe Biden’s catastrophe.”

Trump ripped Biden’s avoidance of media, not taking questions, and permitting the Taliban to quickly takeover Afghanistan.

“Joe Biden was going on vacation as Afghanistan was going to hell,” he continued. “This is what you get when you have weakness in the White House. You can’t have weakness in the White House.

“They have to respect your president. When I was president, we only had strength.”

Trump said this “would have never have happened” if he was still president, saying the Taliban respected American military “strength.”

“They knew we weren’t playing games,” Trump said. “They understood that right from the beginning. This proven record of America’s strength laid the groundwork to safely and responsibly bring our troops back home. Nobody was going to mess with us.

“And then this clown,” Trump continued, referring to Biden. “They rigged the whole deal.

“Now they’re taking advantage of us. And remember this: This isn’t stopping, this going to go on for a long time. This isn’t going away.”

Trump lamented the leaving behind of American citizens and allies, leaving the billions of dollars of American military equipment with the surrendering Afghanistan military, which declined to defend its country against the Taliban.

“When Biden took office, he foolishly tore up our really good plan,” Trump said. “It’s conditions. We do this. We do this. We do this. If you don’t do these things were not going to do it, and then we start dropping bombs all over the place.

“And they say, ‘you know what? We’re going to do it; we’ve decided to do it.’ We had a good understanding.”

Trump played a video of Gen. George Patton’s patriotic address to World War II troops before taking the stage, adding rips of failed generals and the White House Joints Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley.

“Let me ask you: Do you think that Gen. Patton was woke? I don’t think so,” Trump said to loud cheers. “I don’t think he was too woke. He was the exact opposite.

“You know what woke means? It means you’re a loser. Everything woke turns to sh**. It’s true.”

“Wokeness” is a pseudonym for oppressive Liberal Cultural Stupidity.

Trump was and IS right…about EVERYTHING.

I have to tell y’all…it was great to watch the 45th President of the United States of America do what he does best: communicate directly with average Americans.

Talk about a breath of fresh air,

I will take the brash honesty and “mean Tweets” of Donald J. Trump over the anti-American Policies, ineptitude, and prevarications of Dementia Joe and Heels Up Harris any day of the week.

Last night, American Citizens living in Alabama heard from a man who genuinely LOVES America and her people, instead of viewing us all as racist, misogynist, xenophobes…the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

Just like Trump did, with his refusal early in his first Presidential campaign to “act more presidential”, he is still taking his message directly to the American People.

You see, Gentle Readers, Trump has always been a “people person”.

That is the reason that, when he was still a contributor to Fox News, he would speak to everyone in the building, from the maintenance crew, on up the ladder.

As Sam Walton, the Founder of Walmart, knew, you don’t inspire people by acting imperious and above it all.

“Mr. Sam”, until his health would no longer allow him to do so, would travel to Walmart Stores in his old pickup truck, with a tie and a baseball cap on, visiting the employees, in order to find out how his stores were doing.

He knew that the only way to be successful and to stay in touch with the public, was to be out among them, and speak to them honestly and directly, as one would speak to a friend.

Just as President Trump did when he went on a “Thank You” Tour after being elected in 2016 and his use of Twitter to speak directly to the American People.

The Political Establishment, of both parties, lost that concept, a long time ago.

Bypassing the borders to communication, historically determined by both political parties and the Main Stream Media, is a concept which I first witnessed being used by a Presidential Candidate in the 1980 Presidential Election, the legendary Ronald Wilson Reagan.

While I am not comparing the two, I am noting that this strategy has proved effective for both men.

As America witnessed last night, Trump continues to strike a resonant chord in the hearts of Average Americans, living in the part of America, which the snobbish Political Elites refer to as “Flyover Country”, but which we refer to as “America’s Heartland”, or, quite simply, “HOME”.

The reason being, President Trump kept his promises.

He does not talk down to us while disparaging our Sovereign Nation, as Sleepy Joe Biden, “Dr.” Jill Biden, and Kamala Harris do..

Trump talks to us in a plain-spoken, clearly understood way, a style which is in stark contrast to a Far Left Democrat party full of professional politicians, whose only interest is the totalitarian retention of power in Washington, D.C., at whatever the cost.

Last night, the President of the United States of America, the most powerful man in the world, made residents of Alabama, along with the rest of us average Americans, feel good about ourselves and the future of our Sovereign Nation

And, gentle readers, to see and hear a Former, and possibly Future American President who genuinely loves this country and her people and who was willing to give up his “lifestyle of the rich and famous” in order to secure a safe and prosperous future for American Citizens is indeed a “radical change” from what this country is experiencing coming out of the Oval Office now.

Until He Comes,

“When the Going Gets Tough, the “Tough” Get Going: Biden MIA as Taliban Goes Door-to-Door Killing Afghans Who Helped Us

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

FoxNews.com reports that

As the U.S. military and State Department rush to evacuate American citizens and Afghan allies from Kabul’s airport, Taliban checkpoints are cutting off many from freedom and safety – and reports on the ground indicate the militants are summarily executing people who helped U.S. forces over the years.

Ryan Rogers, a retired Marine sergeant, told Fox News Thursday that the interpreter he worked with during the bloody 2010 battle of Marjah in Helmand province is currently trapped in Kabul, prevented from reaching the airport as Taliban fighters seek out and murder former Afghan commandoes and interpreters.

“He told me yesterday they hung three [Afghan National Army] commanders that they had found,” he said. “And that close to the place that he’s hiding, they’re going house-to-house and that they sent a transmission out saying they had plans for the people that operated with America.”

“I said, hey, did you see any of this stuff with your eyes? He said yes,” Rogers said. “They’re not showing this stuff because the people are cheering, but they’re scared to death, and they’re hanging these people. And he said they’re going house to house and their priorities are Afghan National Army Special Forces, the police special forces and the interpreters.”

The Biden administration on Thursday finally acknowledged reports that evacuees were having trouble reaching the international airport and Kabul, which is surrounded by Taliban checkpoints.

State Department spokesman Ned Price said during a Thursday news briefing that the government had received a “small handful of reports” of American citizens who were unable to reach the airport. But he also said that though U.S. officials were aware of reports that interpreters and former Afghan military officers were being hunted and killed by the Taliban forces, he could not confirm their veracity.

“I’m just not in a position to confirm those details,” he said. “Every time we see a detail like this, we take it extraordinarily seriously, and we do what we can.”

Over the past two weeks, as Taliban forces swept across the country, there were reports of the militants executing surrendering Afghan soldiers. And Fox News has received video showing gunmen in pickup trucks, firing bullets in the streets of Kabul.

“In a bipartisan fashion, there’s extreme disappointment, especially by those that have served,” Rep. Brad Wenstrup, an Ohio Republican and Army Reserve officer, told Fox News. “And we have lost on this our moral standing in the world, and it’s a sign of weakness rather than strength.”

Wenstrup pointed to bipartisan legislation passed months ago designed to lessen the red tape U.S. allies would need to get through to safely leave the country as the American military withdrew. But the rushed withdrawal left thousands of people stranded anyway.

“I find it hard to believe that our military and intelligence community would have recommended it this way,” he said, faulting the Biden administration’s leadership. “But those are some of the questions that we need to have answered.”

Wenstrup, who served in the Army in Iraq, said he helped more than one interpreter relocate from there. One of them, now an American citizen and physician at Ohio State, called the Afghanistan situation “disheartening,” the congressman said.

But despite the chaotic U.S. withdrawal, Wenstrup had a message for veterans of the War on Terror.

“We have not had another attack in 20 years,” he said. “We must praise all those that have sacrificed so much in the last 20 years because they did keep us safe, and they should be applauded for that.”

And so did their coalition partners.

Tens of thousands of American Citizens and Afghani Allies are trapped in what is noW a Radical Islamic Terrorist Nation.

They are desperately waiting on help from the United States Government.

Meanwhile, where is the President of the United States of America?

He has gone into hiding in Delaware, at Camp David, or in the Basement of the White House, being fed soup as our fellow Americans and the Afghanis who stood with them against Radical Islamic Barbarians are feeling abandoned and are in danger of being killed.

Yes, I blame Hoe Biden for this situation.

He is the President. Donald J. Trump is not.

The responsibility for saving the lives of those trapped in Afghanistan lies squarely on the shoulders of a demented old man who wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, even when he was younger.

If any of those trapped are held for ransom or killed, their blood is on Joe Biden’s hands.

And, not just his hands, but those of his “Handlers”, his military leaders, and the pompous idiots of the Democrat Elite, including “Dr, Jill”, who thought that it would be a great idea to run a senile old man for President and then commit massive fraud to get him elected.

Actions (or inactions) have consequences.

The arrogance of the Democrats, compiled with Biden’s lifetime record of Foreign Police mistakes, have created a situation that makes the Iranian Hostage Crisis pale in comparison.

It is quite apparent that Biden and his Military Advisors are nothing but a bunch of pencil-pushing lightweights that do not have a spine or A SET among them.

This crisis in Afghanistan has revealed the true colors of the Democrat Elite to the world.

They are 99.99% yellow.

Until He Comes,
