Twelve elected Republicans are demanding Thursday for President Joe Biden to resign over the deadly Afghan extraction amid reports of Americans being killed in bombing attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan.
At least 12 U.S. service members were killed in a pair of suicide attacks outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan, including 11 Marines and one Navy medic, two U.S. officials told the Associated Press.
An explosion went off on Thursday outside the Kabul airport, where thousands of people have gathered to try to flee the country on Western airlift since the Taliban seized power earlier this month. The Pentagon confirmed the blast, with no immediate word on casualties.

The independent inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing of May 2017, in which 22 pop fans were killed by an Islamist extremist, has published the first volume of its report. It makes for chilling reading. The inquiry has found there were numerous ‘missed opportunities’ to confront Salman Abedi, the bomber, and potentially stop him from detonating the device in his rucksack. Most chilling of all is the reason given by one of the key security guards on patrol that evening as to why he failed to question Abedi. He was worried, he said, that asking a brown-skinned man why he was hanging around the arena might be construed as racist.

Major coverage in mainstream media is about violent clashes in Israel this past week and ongoing.
The Globe and Mail (one of Canada’s main newspapers) covered the story on May 10 with the headline “Flag Waving Israeli March to Go Ahead” and the story repeated the same paragraph twice about Israeli police clashing with hundreds of Arab students.
The point being is that most mainstream coverage of the incidents as one-sided with Israel getting the raw end of the deal and with little or no context. The news stories portray a victimized Muslim/Palestinian community during the last important days of Ramadan (the holiest month of the Islamic calendar) being attacked indiscriminately by ‘wicked’ Israelis. As a result, all over the Muslim world, Muslims are in a hysterical frenzy posting on media, social media, writing, and exposing the ‘evil’.
