Appalling: Biden Scrapped Trump Afghanistan Rescue Plan

As scenes of horror and terror continue to unfold in Kabul amid Presidentish Joe Biden’s haphazard and increasingly desperate evacuation efforts, many of us have said all week that it didn’t have to be like this.

Here’s the proof.

Raheem Kassam revealed on Wednesday that under President Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo’s State Department had ordered the creation of a “Contingency and Crisis Response” office whose job would be avoiding “a future Benghazi-style situation for Americans overseas.”

But while Biden lied to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday that “We planned for every contingency,” behind the scenes Biden’s State Department had already “revoked the funding and the approval” for Trump’s response team, according to Kassam.

Biden didn’t plan for every contingency. He killed our ability to respond to the most likely contingency.

Think that’s an exaggeration? Hardly.

Trudeau Increases Foreign Aid To China From 2015-2019

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the Trudeau government gave $41 million dollars of foreign aid to China in 2019. Canada sent the following amount of foreign aid to China from 2015-2019:

  • 2018 – $9.1 million
  • 2017 – $8.5 million
  • 2016 – $1.6 million
  • 2015 – $0.1 million

In other words, an intentional year-over-year increase in foreign aid dollars to China as approved by PM Justin Trudeau.

LEVY: The government prepares to enable hard drug use

A recent report by a Health Canada government task force recommends that the Canadian government end criminal penalties for possession of hard drugs like heroin, cocaine, meth and fentanyl.

Health Minister Patty Hajdu even goes as far as to say, “substance use is a health issue. It is not a moral issue or a criminal justice one.”

“I Don’t Think About Monetary Policy” Is The Biggest Gaffe Of The Campaign So Far

With voters putting the surging cost-of-living as their top issue of concern, Trudeau demonstrates incompetence and detachment from what is impacting Canadians the most.

Defense Secretary: US Military Not Currently Able to Go Beyond Kabul Airport to Rescue People

The U.S. military does not currently have the capability of extending its presence beyond the perimeters of the Kabul international airport, Defense Secretary Gen. Lloyd Austin said Wednesday when asked about people wanting to leave, being prevented from reaching the facility.

Who Is Running The US Government Right Now? Because It Sure Isn’t Joe Biden

It is clear that Americans need a leader now more than ever, but who is stepping up to the plate to fight this crisis head-on? It certainly isn’t President Joe Biden and his team at the White House, who have all been hiding behind each other and using vacation time to cower from the press.

Tucker Carlson: Why Is It Our Unique Moral Burden To Take In Afghani Refugees?

What a betrayal the war in Afghanistan turned out to be. Above all, it was a betrayal of the American public, the people who for 20 years paid for the occupation. It was a betrayal of the ones who died there, of course, and of the tens of thousands of Americans who will carry the scars from this disaster for the rest of their lives. They were lied to. We were all lied to. And we have a right to feel bitter about that.

If only Milley cared less about critical race theory and more about Afghanistan

Our country has undergone a radical change in the 21st century. It has not been a change for the better. We have focused more on arguing among ourselves while the “barbarians are at the gates,” so to speak. If we learn no other lesson from the Afghanistan debacle, it is that our military and intelligence agencies need to refocus their priorities. If we fail to do so, situations such as Afghanistan might become much more common.

As I walk around Kabul, the streets are empty of women

Four days after the quick and unexpected invasion of Kabul by the Taliban, the streets of the Afghan capital are almost entirely devoid of women.

The few women who are on the streets are wearing the traditional blue burqa, Islamic garb that, while customary in Afghanistan, was not used as widely in Kabul until now. Many women are dressed in the long black clothes commonly worn in the Middle East and Arab nations.

All the women are accompanied by a male guardian – a requirement that the Taliban has imposed on women across the country. Many of these women are out grocery shopping; a simple task that has become extremely dangerous for them.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: on refugees we must learn from 2015

Maybe they’re women who have transitioned to male!

The West’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the country’s subsequent fall to the Taliban, has brought the number of refugees the UK should take back to the forefront of the political conversation. It is eerily familiar: many of the same ideas were being advanced by many of the same people in 2015 at the height of the Syria crisis.

Earlier this year, Ayaan Hirsi Ali did an interview with UnHerd in which she predicted exactly this, and warned about not making the same mistakes again.

The Vultures Are Circling: Thanks to Biden, carrion birds are picking at the pieces of America.

While Sleepy-Time Joe recuperates from the hard work of not getting lost on the White House lawn (Camp David is so peaceful this time of year), the vultures are circling.

The America which flexed its muscles under Reagan and Trump is now prostrate.

The Taliban, Mexican cartels, OPEC, city savages – the sky is full of carrion birds. Signs of weakness always bring them out. With Biden, America might as well be wearing a kick-me sign on its back.

Shock video: Lara Logan confirms what we feared about Afghanistan

I wonder if they paid extra for those seats.

Biden’s pullout from Afghanistan has been the worst managed event in American history.  With Saigon as an example, the administration knew exactly how bad it would be.  There’s a lot of finger-pointing going on now, but, at bottom, people are wondering if the unconditional Taliban takeover, including the trapped Americans, is a deliberate policy.  On Tucker Carlson’s Wednesday show, Lara Logan said, “Yes, it is.  This was what the government wanted.”

Taliban chic: Woke Westerners need to understand that the burqa is an oppressive garment, not an exotic fashion item.

You couldn’t ask for better proof of the madness of wokeness. This week, as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, model, influencer and climate-change nagger Lily Cole posted photos of herself in a burqa on Instagram. Yes, as women across Afghanistan trembled at the swift victory of these 12th-century regressives, worrying what their lives will be like following the return to power of a movement that views women as an inferior species, a posh woke Westerner was donning the burqa for likes. ‘Let’s embrace diversity on every level’, Ms Cole said in her post, as if this chilling blue cloak forced on Afghan women by Islamist brutes is little more than a quirky, exotic fashion item.

The US and Soviet Union in Afghanistan: A Tale of Two Withdrawals

When the cash-strapped Soviet Union stopped providing military support to its client government in Afghanistan in February 1989, U.S. intelligence officials predicted immediate demise for the Russian-backed Afghan regime.

They were wrong.

“Weeks passed and then more weeks. [Soviet-backed leader Mohammad] Najibullah, his cabinet, and his army held firm. Amid heavy snows, the Afghan military pushed out a new defensive ring around the capital, holding the mujahedin farther at bay,” author Steve Coll wrote in “Ghost Wars,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning history on Afghanistan in the 1980s and ’90s. “As March approached, the Afghan regime showed no fissures.”

Fire the military and intelligence bigs who bungled Afghanistan — now

There are many lessons to learn from the disastrous US pullout from Afghanistan, but there is one that we should take home right now: Failure must be punished.

The United States has been in Afghanistan for almost 20 years. It has been obvious for the last few years that we would be leaving soon. Former President Donald Trump wanted to leave Afghanistan, but the generals managed to slow him down and wait him out. Instead of making plans, they stonewalled.

Biden Claims Taliban Going Through ‘Existential Crisis’

Joe Biden is truly not in the same reality as the rest of all are.

He’s now just saying whatever comes out of his head to try to defend himself, regardless of facts or morality. As we noted earlier, he’s completely delusional — thinking that we have control of the airport right now as chaos reigns outside.

He is too warped to be president.
