He says it’s about SCIENCE

It may be Psuedo Science, Junk Science or Political Science, but it sure as heck ain’t REAL Science.
Breathing fresh air is good for a person. Rebreathing your own waste products is not.
It looks like I'll be watching a lot of old sit coms and game shows today. The news sucks. The rain outside is "brighter" than what is happening news wise. Not giving up , though. Not by a long shot.
I don’t even know what to say. I would like for Milly would explain why the British and French can rescue their people but we can.

Biden admin moved to dismantle protections for citizens trapped overseas months before Kabul’s fall: report
The Biden administration moved in June to dismantle a system designed to protect American citizens trapped abroad — just months before the Taliban took over Afghanistan, stranding thousands of Americans in the Central Asian country.
New reports published on Wednesday detailed that a memo sent around the State Department gave the green light on the “discontinuation of the establishment, and the termination of, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR).”

Now doesn’t that look simply heavenly, a breakfast taco, thank you.
Pass the hot sauce, please.
And a good morning to you.
Raining hard there, that is good, right?
We sure have been getting a good soaking, got about an inch a day for the last 3 days.
Biden has abandoned thousands of Americans and Afghans who helped us to an uncertain fate possibly death.
Meanwhile, back at home Biden goes on ABC and gets angry that he is asked hard questions.
He says nobody is getting killed, correct me if I am wrong.
Steffy didn’t but I will, just watch vids on twitter Dementia Joe, PEOPLE ARE GETTING KILLED!!!!
Wow. You’re fired up early this morning.
Thank the good Lord for Piran and his dedication who helped save this lady.
Thank you for the story with a happy ending.
Yes, I am.
Lara Logan just said that Biden is totally unable to give any credible reason for what he is doing.
That may be the understatement of the day.
What is he hiding?

When the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, The Atlantic, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC... (Need I go on?) hold a Democrat President accountable, you know it is bad. The Liberal Media has jumped ship.
“BAD” is an understatement!

Fort Bliss in Texas becomes ground zero for resettling Afghan refugees during chaotic exit
Military installation and famed home of tank division poised to get 10,000 refuges, and possibly more … on top of border children.

Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, is best known as home to the Army’s tank division, the revered Old Ironsides military insignia and the country’s largest military-controlled airspace. But the Biden administration’s botched exit from Afghanistan is turning the vast installation into ground zero for the evacuation of Afghans who spent two decades helping the United States fight the war against terror.
Texas Sen. John Cornyn says the fort is preparing to receive 10,000 Afghan refugees, and military officials have hinted that number could reach much higher.
It’s the second major wave of civilian guests to be hosted at the fort, which began this spring helping the Homeland Security and Health and Human Services Departments to house thousands of unaccompanied minor children who were brought across the border.
The first mission has been plagued by multiple allegations of “poor, unsanitary and otherwise inadequate conditions,” child abuse and neglect.
The portable tents set up for the migrants can hold up to 10,000 unaccompanied minors, but at the time of Cornyn’s visit only 2,500 were there, with an average reported stay of seven days.
On Tuesday, Cornyn received briefings at Fort Bliss and said the base was prepared “to take as many as 10,000 of those Afghans who worked alongside their American partners all these many years to try to combat terrorism and make America safe.” The Texas Republican serves on both the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary Committees.
“My hope is that we can get those people out of Afghanistan that we’ve worked with these past 20 years because if we can’t, many of them will simply be killed along with their families,” he said.
Cornyn’s visit came after the Pentagon announced that up to 30,000 Afghans who worked with the U.S. military over the last 20 years would be relocated to Fort Bliss in Texas and Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. The move comes after President Joe Biden announced a removal of U.S. troops by Aug. 31, the Taliban took control of the country, and the U.S. exit strategy is now being described as one of the greatest foreign policy failures since the fall of Saigon.
Videos posted on social media show thousands of Afghan civilians rushing the airport, chasing planes as they taxied down runways, and individuals falling from the sky as a plane took off after they had hidden in a wheel well. Other images show the Taliban going door to door shooting individuals who worked with the U.S. military, still others of public beheadings.
Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told Fox News that the Biden administration wants “the capacity to get up to several thousand immediately, and want to be prepared for the potential of tens of thousands” of Afghan refugees. “Bliss and McCoy have the capability right now — and what’s advantageous is with a little bit of work, they could increase their capacity in very short order.”
American citizens in Kabul won’t necessarily be given priority to leave.
“Once we get more airlift out of Kabul, we’re going to put as many people on those planes as we can,” Kirby said. “There will be a mix, not just American citizens, but perhaps some Afghan SIV applicants as well. We’re going to focus on getting people out of the country, then sorting it out at the next stop. It’s not going to be just Americans first, then SIV applicants. We’re going to focus on getting as many folks out as we can.”
A Special Immigrant Visa (SIV), is only made available to Afghan or Iraqi nationals who worked with U.S. military or through the Chief of Mission authority as translators or interpreters in Iraq or Afghanistan. A bill passed by Congress earlier this year increased the number of visas available to 34,500.
The visa process requires applicants to provide a picture ID, proof of a U.S. military background check, a letter of recommendation and a filing fee of $435. After they pay the fee and pass a security check, they are required to go through in-person interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Once approved, they can travel to the U.S. and become eligible for federal benefits through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP).
Afghans who don’t qualify for an SIV can apply for a Priority 2 designation for USRAP, the Department of Defense said. A P2 designation applies to “groups of special concern designated by the Department of State as having access to the program by virtue of their circumstances and apparent need for resettlement.”
Department of Defense official Gary Reed said that sites other than Fort Bliss and McCoy would be “identified if services are needed, additional capacity is needed. At this point we’re looking to establish 20 [thousand] to 22,000 spaces. We can expand if we need to.” A reported 8,000 refugees will be transported to a third country for processing.
Refugee Services of Texas reports that at least 324 Afghans will initially be settled in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston.
Its CEO, Russell Smith, told KXAN News that 107 families would be relocating to Austin in the next few weeks. The Austin office already resettled a family of seven this past weekend and plans to help bring in another four families this week.

Well, as I’m fond of saying...
Follow the FRAUDci $cience™
Based on NOTHING, but profits.
Health and safety be darned.
Good morning, you two!
🙋♀️Howdy. I’ve been up all night—might wind down here in a minute or two. Ha.
New reports published on Wednesday detailed that a memo sent around the State Department gave the green light on the “discontinuation of the establishment, and the termination of, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR).”

Glad to see other media outlets running with this.
What a complete disaster...embarrassment....failure useful tool XiDen is.
Gee, up all night!
And I thought I had trouble sleeping.
Hope you can get a few hours of shut eye.
😱😱😱
Thanks, Gran.
This is just horrifying. Thanks for the update.
Good morning, Jane!
Tell Cornyn to relocate these Afghanis to New Mexico or Nevada.
More like home, and they are already cesspools of Dem corruption.
Leave Texas alone!
This is beginning to shape up as something far worse than incompetence.
It is beginning to look well planned, the plan to ruin the US in the world community, as some have already claimed.
I bet the Biden Regime has already plotted the take over of Taiwan by China, plan to make it look like more incompetence.
Biden is such a useful tool!
Comma-la waiting in the wings to swoop in to save the day or to help further the fall of the USofA.
Nice to see so many folks commenting here on the Trump Train that normally don’t do so.
We welcome your contributions to the thread.
You have been burning the midnight oil!! Good stuff, though, as usual. :-)
