Leve No One Behind

 In the proud tradition of the US armed forces, the statement is often made that they leave no one behind.  Old Joe Biden has changed that.  He left a ton of people in Afghanistan.  That's Americans, not Afghans.  Biden didn't leave one or two or even ten or twenty.  He left way more than 50, indeed, way more than a hundred.  Biden left many hundreds and perhaps many thousands of American citizens stranded in Afghanistan in the clutches of the Taliban.  No doubt Biden will tell us that the Taliban are just nice men trying to get by in a cruel world.  After all, we only spent twenty years at war with them.  They must be nice, right?  They're using American helicopters as scaffolds and literally hanging people from them as they fly over the capital city, but Joe must think these are a partner for future progress, right?

In the single most idiotic move ever, Biden decided to pull out US forces without first taking American citizens out of the country or even giving those people a chance to depart.  It was worse than cutting and running.  It was an act of calculated cruelty and cowardice.  Biden has exposed huge numbers of Americans to torture and death.  He must be so proud.  No doubt someone in the media will nominate JoJo for the Nobel Peace Prize, although in his case it might be the Nobel Piece of CRAP prize.  The only thing that Biden's presidency will be noted for is that in the first half year in office, Biden made all other presidents look like shining heroes.  He's a shoo-in for worst president EVER!!!!!!!!!!

How Many ????

 The worst thing I’ve seen recently was a simple question ask of the Department of Defense. It was short. “ How many Americans remain in Afghanistan?”  Answer: “We don’t know “

The airlift out is winding down, but we don’t know how many Americans are left?  WEDON’T KNOW!!!!!  Do we just abandon Americans while we bring Afghans out?

This is the most incompetent action by the US government in living memory. Biden gets all the blame in my book. The world and the evil in it a real. Life is not a photo op. Someone actually has to be in charge!!  Apparently no one is!

Congrats to Biden -- His mess got more US soldiers killed today than for the last year

 The first inevitable attack on the Kabul airport in Afghanistan happened today.  Biden's strategy of putting thousands of US forces in the airport but nowhere else in the country made it too tempting a target for the Taliban  Of course, the Taliban blames ISIS and denies responsibility.  Surprise!

More American troop died today due to Biden's idiocy than had died in the previous year in Afghanistan.  When you put a lying moron in the White House who only cares about photo ops, this is what you get.  Trump was a braggart with a bizarre personality who said some pretty weird things.  Still, when it came to being president, he cared about the outcomes and he DID some very good things.  This mess would NOT have happened under him.  Instead we have feeble Joe who says nice things even if they're obviously not true or consistent with what he said the day before.  He just seems unable to do anything with competence.

It's sad that US troops and Afghan civilians had to lose their lives as a result of Old Joe.

Another Day, Another Lie

 Don't the people at the Biden White House get tired of telling lies?  Clearly the answer is NO!

Just look at Afghanistan.

Biden was warned by the military and intelligence forces that an American withdrawal of all troops would lead to a total collapse of the Afghan government and the takeover by the Taliban.  Biden told the American people there was essentially no chance the Taliban would take over.  That's a rather major lie.

Biden knew that the Taliban was killing women for not wearing burqas, killing men who were important cogs of the collapsed government, and killing people in the streets who were refusing to cooperate with the Taliban.  There are enough murders that pictures of these deaths have been scattered across some US newspapers.  Biden still said just two days ago that no one had died at the hands of the Taliban.  LIE!

Biden tried in June to get Russia to agree to the stationing of US forces in places surrounding Afghanistan that were parts of the old Soviet Union.  Someone still has to explain why the USA would ask Russia about the disposition of American forces in countries that are not part of Russia.  Nevertheless, Biden told Americans that there was no need for further American involvement with Afghanistan while he was trying to arrange just that.  LIE

There are many more lies on this topic.  Biden has squandered the trust of the American people.

Look, it doesn't take a military genius to realize that in a pull out, the USA should have removed its big weapons and equipment first, then American citizens, then embassy personnel and finally the military.  Biden chose to do all that in reverse by removing the military first with the result that the Taliban now have 1000's of potential American hostages with the USA having essentially no chance of retrieving them absent Taliban goodwill.  (Just writing Taliban goodwill makes me cringe.)

We need an honest assessment of the situation and a competent review of how best to get our people out.  Sadly, Biden doesn't seem up to producing either.

Who Is Biden Kidding?

 I waited before posting about Joe Biden's speech on Afghanistan.   My initial reaction was anger at the dishonesty and I did not want to speak out of anger.  After a day of reflection, however, I still consider the speech to be completely dishonest.  In essence, what Biden said was "I have always been against the war in Afghanistan and wanted to have no troops there, but I had to end the war now because President Trump made an agreement that called for a US troop withdrawal.  Huh?  If you were always against that war, Joe, and if you wanted no troops there, it surely wasn't due to an agreement made by Trump that you were reluctantly withdrawing US forces.  Your claim makes no sense.  Either you were always against the Afghan war (even while the Obama/Biden administration multiplied the number of US troops in the country by five times), or you were fine with US troops in Afghanistan were constrained by the agreement Trump made.  It can't be both.  And while we're considering Biden's lies, perhaps someone in the administration could explain why an agreement made by Trump could not have been undone or modified by Old Joe.  There was no binding treaty; there just was a tentative agreement made by Trump.

Let's be clear:  what is happening in Afghanistan is not just an embarrassment for the USA, it is a major disaster for this country.  Why should any regional power accept assurances of support from team Biden who abandon a long term ally on what seems like a whim?  

It's hard to imagine that Biden, in just six months in office, could 1) bring back inflation in a major way, 2) undermine and destroy Afghanistan after thousands of Americans died to protect freedom there, 3) allow Iran to attack international shipping and go all out developing nukes, 4) completely abandon enforcement of our southern border, and 5) stand by incompetently while COVID makes a startling comeback.  Biden's term is only about 15% complete.  What disasters await the USA in the remaining 85% of his term.  And, God forbid, when Biden leaves after his term (or more likely is pushed out in his wheel chair), it VP Harris follows him, America's days as a world power or even a civilized nation may be at an end.

Hopefully, in 2022, the nation's voters will oust the Dems from control of Congress.  Sadly, though, Biden and his incompetence will be in the White House until 2025.

Someone Needs To Explain This

 For almost 20 years, the USA has worked to build up the army of Afghanistan.  Now that country is being taken over by Taliban terrorists as Joe Biden ignores the mess and tries to re-enact the fall of Saigon.  Someone needs to explain where the Afghan army is.  Why are they just collapsing in the face of the Taliban?  What happens to all those women who went to school in the last two decades?  Will the Taliban just execute them?  How about everyone who worked for the government in Afghanistan?  Will the be tortured, killed or just re-educated?  There are literally millions of Afghans at risk of death at the hands of the Taliban but Joe Biden seems unconcerned.  His big issue today seems to be what flavor pudding they will serve with his lunch.  It's a true disgrace!

It's Undemocratic and Unconstitutional

 You have to laugh at the typical response from the Democrat shills in the media to the recent polling in the California recall election.  The Democrat governor of that state is facing an election as to whether he will remain in office or be removed by the voters.  Two million people signed petitions to bring about this election.  Now all California voters will make the decision on the governor's future.  The funny thing is that polls show the election very close with the momentum moving against the governor.  In typical fashion, the media arm of the Democrats (the mainstream media) is now denouncing the recall election as undemocratic and unconstitutional.  It's hysterical.  Letting California's voters decide the future of their governor in an election is "undemocratic".  Giving power to the people is unconstitutional?

The reality is that the Democrats are scared that they could lose power in Sacremento.  Oh, the horror!  And if they lose, it must be undemocratic, right?  

The truth is that this is just another new low for the media.

So the "Good" war is lost

 I know it isn't politically acceptable to remind people of what Democrats have said in the past, but the current collapse of the Afghan government and the impending victory by the Taliban is too important to ignore (unless you are a reporter for the New York Times).  As I write this, the Taliban have taken eleven provincial capitals in the last week since their offensive began.  The Afghan army into which the USA poured huge resources has just cut and run.  Collapse is too nice a word for it.  It's more a disappearance than a collapse.  Things have gotten so bad inside Afghanistan that Biden is sending at least 3000 marines just to guard the US embassy and to protect our other troops as they are pulled out of the country.  It looks just like the fall of Saigon in 1975.  It's a total and embarrassing American defeat.

The strange thing is that Biden and his people had many months to plan the withdrawal.  They didn't do it though.  They had plenty of time to reach an agreement with the Taliban that would have delayed the Taliban takeover until after we were gone.  They didn't. Instead we have chaos, disaster and total embarrassment for the USA.  Sounds just like what Biden would want.

In 2008, Barack Obama campaigned for months against the Iraq War.  He always said that our efforts in Afghanistan were valid but Iraq was a mistake. He called Afghanistan the "good war".  Once he and Biden won, they sent over 100,000 troops to Afghanistan to finish off the Taliban once and for all.  Of course, as soon as the troops got there, Obama/Biden announced a phased withdrawal and put severe limits on the freedon of action of our forces.  The result was that the war was never won and the Taliban learned that our words and deeds were not consistent.

It truly pains me to think of the thousands of American soldiers who have died in Afghanistan only to be abandoned along with the Afghan people as Biden cuts and runs.  I'm truly furious.

Kunduz Is No News

 Kunduz is a provincial capital in northern Afghanistan. It is also the fifth provincial capital to be conquered by the Taliban in the last ten days. American forces are being completely withdrawn by Biden and as a result, the country is going back to Taliban rule. They’re the folkls who brought us 9-11. In other words, it’s a catastrophe. 

You would think the collapse of the Afghan forces before we’re even completely ouu would be splashed across the front page of every American paper. Of course, that news is hardly mentioned in the media. The reporters can’t have  Biden looking bad. Sad!

Cuomo No Mo

 The creepy governor of NY, former progressive hero and currently slimy alleged criminal, Andrew Cuomo has resigned.  Facing certain impeachment, Cuomo chose to go instead.  My guess is that he is hoping to avoid prosecution for the many crimes alleged by the NY Attorney General.  I hope he is still prosecuted.  

The new governor is a virtual unknown in most of the state.  I would be willing to bet that fewer than 10% of NY's people would recognize either her picture or her name.  I purposely haven't mentioned her.  Just think to yourself, who is NY's new governor?  Do you know?  So the Empire state now has a nobody as governor.  Today is one of those days when a nobody is much better than a famous somebody.

What’s The Story With Unilever?

 Unilever is one of the world’s largest sellers of consumer goods. It’s another corporate giant that looks for profit everywhere. That’s ok, it’s our economic system. Now however, Unilever has decided to become political. It stopped selling Ben and Jerry’s ice cream in the West Bank area of Israel to protest the “occupation “ of the area. Until ever has taken a stand. 

The key here though is that Unilever still sell the ice cream in Iran. That country supports terrorism. It just used drones to attack a ship in the Persian Gulf which resulted in multiple deaths. Iran kills gays, denies all rights to women , and prosecutes all religious minorities. Unilever is fine with that; Ben and Jerries is sold across Iran. What’s a little murder, terrorism and hate in Iran when there’s a buck to be made for Unilever?

And the we have Syria where Unildver also sells Ben and Jerries. The Syrian government killed close to 1 million people and wiped out whole minority populations in the last decade. So even genocide doesn’t bother Unilever. They just keep selling their ice cream to the war criminals

Unilever sucks  don’t buy their products
