As Americans languish behind enemy lines in a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, President Biden addressed the nation on his administration's response to the Wuhan coronavirus and push to mandate vaccination among additional groups before ignoring reporters' questions for the second time this week.
Worse than ignoring the crisis of his making 7,000 miles away, Biden burned valuable time to launch false smears.
Time he could have used to make clear any sort of commitment to bring every single American home from Afghanistan. Time that could have been used to communicate to the Taliban that any attempt to harm Americans would be met with devastating force.
Instead, Biden used his time to attack U.S. governors asserting their ability under our federalist system to decide what mandates exist for their citizens.
"Let me say a few words about masks and our children," the President said. "Unfortunately, as we've seen throughout this pandemic, some politicians are trying to turn public safety measures — that is children wearing masks in school — into political disputes for their own political gain," Biden alleged. "Some are even trying to take power away from local educators by banning masks in school," adding "they're setting a dangerous tone."

To be clear: Biden's accusation, apart from being a massive misfire, is false. Although he didn't muster the fortitude to name names, it's clear he was referring to states such as Florida and Texas, where Governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, respectively, introduced measures to prohibit mask mandates.
No, they didn't ban masks in school as the President falsely claimed. They banned masks from being mandated in order to allow individuals to choose best how to protect themselves and their families. Any parent or student can still choose to wear masks at school. But again, the truth is apparently problematic to Biden's narrative.
Following his false smears against Republican governors, Biden outlined his administration's new decision to push booster shots for fully vaccinated individuals and additional mandates for certain healthcare workers.
Apart from being a disingenuous attempt to direct the press away from his mishandling of the situation in Afghanistan, Biden shows where his administration's priorities lie — not with American lives in Afghanistan but with pushing his administration's COVID mission.
As is, tragically, to be expected by now, Biden again refused to take any questions following his remarks, making it something like seven days — a full week — since he's given any answers on the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.

Shorter Biden: While I’m ignoring the fact that thousands of Americans are currently trapped behind enemy lines by a blood thirsty Islamic terrorist group, if I were to address them, I would encourage them to wear masks while they are held hostage & unable to make to the airport
Can you say “like a dictator”?
Joseph Stolen is an idiot.
Are we supposed to take medical advice from the man who crams the country full of people from all over the world that are covid positive and who refuses the vaccine and that orders a stupendous world renowned disaster in Afghanistan and claims he did the right thing?
It was SO obvious. “Ignore that blazing f-up over There! COVID!!!”
Sung to the Banana boat song by Harry Belafonte......
Day oh, day oh, day oh,
Taliban come and
Joe wanna run
day oh, day oh, day oh,
Taliban wanna fight
Joe wanna take flight
day oh, day oh, day oh
Joe nap all day,
eat ice cream all night,
day oh, day oh, day oh.
I heard somewhere that Biden was leaving for Delaware for a long weekend.
Anybody else heard that?
And if you Americans die in the cross fire of terrorists who are hardliners versus the Taliban leaders who claim they will allow women’s rights, then remember: you died in a 20 years drawn out futile war that ended with civil war factions of Arabs too lazy to fight for their own rights and freedom and your death was meaningless. 20 years ago they were fighting and now they are still fighting but thousands of Americans died and others were injured or had amputations of limbs while behind the scenes billionaires made money off the arms and ammo.
Actually, he ignored Afghanistan and announced his intention to attack Florida and Texas instead.

Wow, I just whipped mine out off the top of my head, but you put some real thought into yours, well done!
I just copied the lyrics and then changed ‘em.
Cut me head off but do it manyana.
Joe Biden: Shut up, and eat your rat poison!
We The People: No, and what about our fellow Americans trapped in the Kabul area??
Joe Biden: Shut up, and where’s my pudding??
That was actually my comment to conservative98…but honestly, if Biden keeps messing with us (Florida, at least), he’s going to set off a domestic conflict on top of everything else.
I was kinda expecting him to do a Covid decoy event today. And I was expecting him to do something dictatorial because he thinks this makes him look like he’s in control of something, and also because he wants to shut us down even more - in order to shut us up.
Ping.
Well, my bad! :) ... It’s a terrific comment!
Inflation is out of control, the “border” is essentially non-existent, and he just surrendered Afghanistan; but Buy-DUNG he can muzzle the peasants’ kiddos.
What a pile!
Biden goes authoritorian on covid-19 which he has little responsibility in controlling vs being AWOL on military withdrawal from a country where he alone is on point.
Everything is backwards with these liberals.
