They knew Biden was impaired cognitively. They knew Harris was a joke. What was the plan? Have they already chosen a VP for her. Is that VP the Trojan Horse? Don’t mind me..... I watched “Manchurian Candidate” last night. I need coffee.
I’d like to see the list of Nasty’s talking points that she distributed yesterday just to see if Jen follows them.
Was Ben Cardin following Nasty’s orders, seems like it, blames Bush, blames Trump doesn’t blame “The Buck Stops Here” Biden .
“The tragedy that’s taking place in Afghanistan—a lot of people are going to be hurt and killed, the progress that we made in regards to women and girls is going to be lost,” @SenatorCardin says. “This is a humanitarian crisis.”

So very true!
Good morning.
Thanks for the list.
Will have to tune into Hannity.
Comma-la is licking her chops as she watches the dithering old idiot implode.
And a good morning, exit!
😂
They should demand women and children be rescued, first.
Whitmer kidnapping case rocked by allegations FBI told informant to lie, delete text messages
Attorneys for alleged members of kidnapping team are claiming FBI deceit and entrapment of innocent people

When the Michigan government announced the foiling of a plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in October of 2020, many applauded the law enforcement agency working the case.
Attorneys for the alleged members of the kidnapping plot, however, are claiming Federal Bureau of Investigation deceit and entrapment of innocent people.
Mlive reported Michael Hills, an attorney for Brandon Caserta, one of six men indicted, claimed an FBI special agent told a paid confidential informant identified as “Dan” to lie, delete messages between them, and implicate an innocent third party.
Hills requested government provide all communications between “Dan” and the FBI.
“These text messages indicate the F.B.I. was pushing their paid agent to actively recruit people into an overt act in furtherance of a conspiracy,” Hills wrote.
“Counsel has found further text messages between (special agent) Impola and Dan indicating Dan should destroy his text messages and instruct Dan to lie and accuse an innocent 3rd party of being a federal agent spy to the founder of Wolverine Watchmen.”
Mlive said Hills provided a transcript of the FBI agent, who allegedly texted: “Copy. Best thing to do is deny and accuse somebody else like Trent.” The agent, again allegedly, instructed the informant to “Be sure to delete these.”
If corroborated, the messages would add to allegations the FBI may have entrapped several people in this plot.
“The F.B.I is instructing a paid F.B.I. informant to lie and paint an innocent citizen as an undercover federal agent to a man they claim is the head of a domestic terrorist organization, who they claim is paranoid about being infiltrated by the feds, who they claim has bragged about tossing a Molotov cocktail into a police officer’s house,” Hills said. “This behavior, evidenced by the telephonic communication between F.B.I. handler Impola and Dan, casts a dark shadow over the credibility of this investigation and demonstrates the need for immediate disclosure as demanded.”
However, the government argues these people weren’t entrapped and chose to pursue a radical agenda.
In July 2021, Buzzfeed reported the FBI was involved when the plot began and even used informants to encourage the group to carry out its plans. Militiamen say this is entrapment and claim they couldn’t have advanced the plot without government informants, who went as far as to lead military training simulations.
The lead FBI agent credited with foiling the plot, special Agent Richard Trask, 39, was arrested in July and charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm after allegedly beating and choking his wife after returning home from a swinger sex party.
An affidavit alleges Trask got on top of his wife Sandy in their bed and “grabbed the side of her head and smashed it several times on the nightstand.”
Are We in a Revolution and Don’t Even Know It?
By Victor Davis Hanson
August 15, 2021
Institutions are being absorbed not just by the woke apparat, but by an array of ideologies that seeks to destroy them.
The collective madness that ensued from the pandemic, the quarantine, the self-induced recession, the George Floyd killing and subsequent months of exempted riots, the election year, and the resurgence of variants of the Chinese-engineered coronavirus, all ignited the fuse of formerly inert socialist dynamite. And the ensuing explosion of revolutionary fervor in just a few months has made America almost unrecognizable.
“Workers of the world unite!” was the old Marxist internationalist war cry. The perceived enemies of coerced socialism were nationalism— and the idea of singular countries defined by borders containing unique citizens legally distinct from mere migratory residents, and sharing ties and traditions that transcended race and class. All that is now problematic.
If it is true that two million illegal aliens will cross the southern border with impunity in the current fiscal year, then the Biden agenda is apparently to help erode the idea of citizenship and anybody defined as an American. Under the socialist ethos, the indigent in Yucatan and the impoverished migrant from Nigeria have as much right to enter and live in the United States as U.S. citizens. And their respective rights under the living Constitution are now nearly identical.
In just seven months, our southern border has vanished. Apparently, it was an artificial construct that obstructed the migrations of the global community. We are back to a natural, pre-civilizational and Rousseauian idea of freeing migrating tribes from the chains of civilization. And what better way to start than dispensing with unique borders, citizenship, and the idea of a nation state?
Socialism aligns foreign policy with the interests of the global oppressed rather than the citizens of a particular nation. In reductionist terms, what do lifting sanctions on Iran and appeasing its theocracy, reaching out to Hamas and snubbing Israel, and allowing the Taliban to overrun Afghanistan have in common? Just as the United States is trying to rebrand itself as a sort of new, non-Western nation, so it clumsily seeks to recalibrate its foreign policy to cease support for the overdog, the American client, and the more Westernized. We are to believe that an empowered Persian Shiite crescent offers equity to the silenced of the Middle East. The Taliban, perhaps regrettably, better represents indigenous Afghan culture than does the Westernized bourgeois elite in Kabul. Hezbollah and Hamas are the more authentic Middle Easterners than the Western Zionist interlopers of Israel. In other words, our foreign policy is in a revolutionary flux.
Liberals try to yank capitalism to the left; but true revolutionaries seek to dismantle the very tenets upon which it is based. No wonder that a recent poll showed most Democrats had a more favorable view (59 percent) of socialism than of capitalism (49 percent).
So, the Right shouts “They are socialists!” And the Left fires back “smears and lies!” while quietly the Biden Administration has already begun systematically to warp the rules of free-market capitalism. In other words, we are apparently all to be socialists now.
By continuing to suspend rental payments to landlords who have no redress to the courts for violations of their contractual leases, the government essentially has redefined private property as we know it. Who really owns an apartment or a room in a house if the occupant has not paid rent since last spring? Is the de facto owner the renter in physical control of the unit, or the increasingly impotent title holder who must still pay the insurance, taxes, and upkeep?

Afghanistan: Biden’s denial of responsibility
By Abraham H. Miller
August 17, 2021
There will be blood! That’s the one thing that can be said with any certainty about the catastrophe in Afghanistan. The ensuing question, of course, is who is responsible for the inevitable bloodletting?
The Taliban obviously. Their record for savagery long precedes the current debacle. But the cast of characters is much larger. There are a series of corrupt Afghan governments that despite the deluge of American treasure and blood failed to create a meaningful military force. There were the neo-cons whose delusion of regime change and nation building appealed to American hubris but had no correspondence to political realities.
There was the American failure to acknowledge history. Afghanistan has always been the graveyard of empires. Ask the British and the Russians or Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great.
But most of all there is the Biden administration that conducted an asymmetric negotiation in Doha for withdrawal without getting anything meaningful in return. The agreed upon intra-Afghan negotiations will not take place.
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said this not Vietnam. But we must wonder if he has seen the chaos at Kabul’s airport. The last days of Saigon and Kabul are strikingly similar.
Foreign wars have never been a political winner for any candidate, and 2022 is an election year. Most Americans could not find Afghanistan on a map, and the Taliban is less important to them than the price of gasoline or the employment rate.
Those who will applaud the decision to leave will point out that twenty years of blood and treasure have not defeated the Taliban, and another five years will not make a difference. To them, Afghanistan was lost from inception, and once Osama bin Laden was out of the picture, we had no business there.
Even so, there are ways to withdraw from the battlefield that does not result in chaos or yield to the enemy billions of dollars of military hardware.
For twenty years, we changed Afghanistan, extricating it from the nightmare of fundamentalist Islam. We provided hope and opportunity, especially for the women and minority faiths in Afghanistan. We made important advances in health care, education—especially for women—and human rights. Now we are abandoning the Afghan people to a ruthless fundamentalism that has shown a penchant for shedding innocent blood. People with whom we worked will be murdered. Single women will be coerced into sexual slavery for Taliban fighters. This is our responsibility.
It is a responsibility the Biden administration is happy to ignore. We will call on the international community to come to the aid of Afghanistan, but except for begging the Taliban to behave with civility, the international community will do nothing.

We have 80,000 Afghan “allies” who want to be evacuated to the US?
That’s the same number as the Taliban. Tell those people to grab a rifle and fight for their country,
https://twitter.com/EmeraldRobinson/status/1427619408822915079?s=20
Apparently, the most important change we could have & should have been focusing on we didn't make. That is, the desire & ability to defend themselves & take over their own country from the Taliban. That should have been our number one priority, and we failed miserably.
What kind of military training were we giving them for 20 years, that they cannot hold off a rag tag band of fighters for even 1 week? Or did we fail in instilling a "fighting spirit" into the Afghanis to want to defend their own country? Instead of nation building, we should have been building a fighting force.
Taliban announce ‘amnesty,’ urge women to join government
Following a blitz across Afghanistan that saw many cities fall to the insurgents without a fight, the Taliban have sought to portray themselves as more moderate than when they imposed a brutal rule in the late 1990s. But many Afghans remain skeptical.
Following a blitz across Afghanistan that saw many cities fall to the insurgents without a fight, the Taliban have sought to portray themselves as more moderate than when they imposed a brutal rule in the late 1990s. But many Afghans remain skeptical.
Older generations remember the Taliban’s ultraconservative Islamic views, which included severe restrictions on women as well as public stonings and amputations before they were ousted by the U.S-led invasion following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

The capital of Kabul remained quiet for another day as the Taliban patrolled its streets and many residents stayed home, remain fearful after the insurgents’ takeover saw prisons emptied and armories looted. Many women have expressed dread that the two-decade Western experiment to expand their rights and remake Afghanistan would not survive the resurgent Taliban.
Germany, meanwhile, halted development aid to Afghanistan over the Taliban takeover. Such aid is a crucial source of funding for the country — and the Taliban’s efforts to project a milder version of themselves may be aimed at ensuring that money continues to flow.
The promises of amnesty from Enamullah Samangani, a member of the Taliban’s cultural commission, were the first comments on how the Taliban might govern on a national level. His remarks remained vague, however, as the Taliban are still negotiating with political leaders of the country’s fallen government and no formal handover deal has been announced.
“The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan with full dignity and honesty has announced a complete amnesty for all Afghanistan, especially those who were with the opposition or supported the occupiers for years and recently,” he said.
Other Taliban leaders have said they won’t seek revenge on those who worked with the Afghan government or foreign countries.
But some in Kabul allege Taliban fighters have lists of people who cooperated with the government and are seeking them out. A broadcaster in Afghanistan said she was hiding at a relative’s house, too frightened to return home much less return to work following reports that the insurgents are also looking for journalists. She said she and other women didn’t believe the Taliban had changed their ways. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety.

“Inflation and the devaluation of the currency are now seemingly a good thing”
I’m trying to figure out what to invest in. Property seemed like a good idea, but not now that renters don’t have to pay rent.
“Remember, under socialism, in T-ball style, we all win—or lose.”
We will all lose. Our younguns have been lazied down, dumbed down but also told they are entitled and don’t have to work. The dumbing-down is what makes them believe it.
“In 1961, Cubans were not quite aware that they were experiencing a Marxist takeover. Nor were Russians fully cognizant in 1917 of the plans that the Bolsheviks had for them over the next few decades. It is hard to see during anarchy, chaos, and collapsing institutions that leftists still have an agenda for what will emerge on the other side.”
Actually we do know, it’s history being repeated. The youngins might not know but the rest of us are watching it in impotent rage. And that rage will have to go somewhere.
