“ Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue has told his British Army counterpart, a high-ranking field-grade officer of the British army’s 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, that British operations were embarrassing the United States military in the absence of similar U.S. military operations. ”
Sounds like something out of the Babylon Bee

The draft report should be finished this coming week. Then the AZ Senate’s specialized legal team will comb through it. This team includes the auditor, Senate president, Senate Judiciary chair, attorneys, and key Senate staff. (1/3)

They will verify the draft for accuracy, proof of documentation, and clarity. The AZ Senate will only issue a report that can be proven and is void of possible misinterpretation. Once these specialized Senate experts fully examine this report, the auditors will then (2/3)
prepare the final report, which will be presented to AZ Senate Judiciary Committee and the public. (3/3)
I haven’t yet; but I did read the Reuters story he was talking about. It’s one of the links I posted last night.
This is what the Reuters story says:
“The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.”
“Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.”
*note: it doesn’t say WHO those sources are/were with. May or may not be current/former FBI*
Thanks for ping. Going to listen while cleaning out my garage.
Thanks.
Only thing I can say, if it is true that farmers are being paid to destroy their crops, you WILL be glad to have those mushy peaches.
How is the flavor?
Yeah but I think we would have to be pretty desperate before we enjoy the pictures. But we would get some nutrients. I guess. I don’t know about the flavor, I couldn’t get past the texture. But admittedly they were warm, and might firm up a bit in the fridge.
Thanks for the post, exit.
Looking forward to the final report.
Expect more FF!
“The XVIII Airborne Corps denies the central thrust of this story,” the spokesman said. “Specifically, Gen. Chris Donahue, whose sole focus is security at HKIA, never made such a request to any British Army officials and would have no motive for doing so.”
This show of rare tension between the U.S. and British command groups in Kabul reflects three factors.
First, it shows the obvious stress of attempting to extricate thousands of personnel under a situation of increasing terrorist threat. Elements of the Haqqani network, the Islamic State in Afghanistan, and possibly al Qaeda are now operating in proximity to Kabul airport with some degree of command separation from the Taliban.
In addition, the British military has more operational latitude in Kabul than the U.S. military, including the Navy SEAL elements present at the airport. I understand that the SAS has conducted operations to bring American citizens, as well as British citizens and at-risk personnel, through checkpoints and to the airport. This is not an indictment on U.S. capabilities or special operations intent, but rather, it’s a reflection of political-military authorities. In part, this difference is understandable. Large-scale U.S. military operations beyond the Kabul airport perimeter would entail significant risk absent prior Taliban approval. But there is a sense, at least by allies, that the U.S. military could be doing more to leverage the Taliban into providing greater ease of access to the airport for those most at risk.
A bureaucratic tug of war between the State Department, Pentagon, and White House is also disrupting evacuation operations out of Kabul. This is aggravating British, French, and other Kabul-present military authorities. I understand that these governments have been further aggravated by the failure of the White House and Pentagon to communicate adequately, or in some cases, to communicate at all, on their intentions and actions. All these allies admit, however, that only the U.S. military could provide the airfield defense and air traffic control capabilities now on display.
Still, as I noted on Wednesday, the Biden administration’s conduct of the Afghanistan withdrawal has raised deep concerns by allies as to the administration’s credibility and confidence. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, allied officials reemphasized this concern to me on Friday.
If the vaccine causes liberalism in conservatives, I wonder what it causes in liberals?!?!?! 😬 (best eeek face I could find)
Thanks!
You’re welcome.
Must be garage cleaning day, Jane was doing the same.
I wish.
Not in my opinion.
No doubt peaches are better cold unless they are in a peach pie fresh from the oven with vanilla ice cream.
ANTIFA?
Alabama is in central time zone. I think Trump will be speaking at 8 PM EDT ….. or later
Welcome!😊
Biden Administration Sent Out Thousands of ‘Bogus’ Visas to Americans in Afghanistan
The proof of the Biden administration’s incompetence keeps piling up in the wake of the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. According to a report from Newsweek, Biden’s State Department sent out thousands of “bogus” generic visa documents to Americans in Afghanistan to help them get out of the country,
David Fox, who runs a marketing company in Kabul, said he received an email from the U.S. Embassy’s consular services department that included the document, meant to help U.S. citizens and Afghan citizens eligible for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) to leave the country.
Fox noted that the document looks like a U.S. visa, except it had no name, serial number, or barcode on it.
Clearly, the Biden administration didn’t consider the most obvious result of such a foolish move.
“And what do you think happened when these people received a document like this that has no name? Of course, they printed out a thousand copies,” Fox said. “You have tens of thousands of Afghans who now have this kind of ridiculous, bogus document that the State Department created.”
“I don’t know how else to explain something like this except for brain worms,” Fox added. “I mean, it’s absurd. What were they thinking?”
Totally incompetent nincompoops at State, heck not just State, the whole Biden Regime!
They are Career Criminals that are sooooo dangerous.
