Seriously? WTF?
State Department cancels its briefing.
“They think we’ll blame the Taliban. Not this time. We know this was Biden and the woke generals fault,” a veteran writes in, expressing a sentiment I’ve heard from others.— Cernovich (@Cernovich) August 26, 2021
Doesn't Psaki want to have a press briefing so we can give them their props for the job they have done?
British telling their people to go to border for rescue. What border?

How many American military personnel have to die to evacuate unvetted refugees?

Are you freaking kidding me!!!!!
Bye-done is so exhausted from watching the carnage in Kabul that he is done for the day?!!!
Tell me this is a joke, right?
The greatest foreign policy debacle of my lifetime was Carter’s disastrous rescue plan of U.S. hostages in Iran.

The White House took the unusual step of clearing President Joe Biden’s schedule on Thursday, following a deadly attack near the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, which killed several U.S. service members and injured others.
The violence added fresh urgency to the frantic effort already underway to evacuate tens of thousands of Afghans and foreign nationals ahead of Biden’s Aug. 31 deadline for the removal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
Biden began the day Thursday the same way he has for more than a week, with a national security briefing on the withdrawal effort in Afghanistan.
Attendees included Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Gen. Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mark Milley and commanders on the ground in Afghanistan, according to White House officials.
After that, Biden was scheduled to meet with newly elected Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett at 11:30 a.m. ET.
But that meeting has been delayed. Israeli journalists traveling with Bennett left the White House at around noon, a good indication that Bennett had also departed the grounds.
The White House has yet to give a new time for the meetings with Bennett, which are set to include an Oval Office téte-a-téte and an expanded bilateral meeting with aides.
Biden was also scheduled to hold a virtual meeting at 3:00 p.m. Thursday with governors who have volunteered to host newly arriving Afghan refugees in their states.
Shortly after noon, however, a White House official said that this meeting had been canceled.
Biden moved up to the Oval Office around midday after spending much of his morning in the secure, underground Situation Room.
We know what must happen to end this nightmare. I won’t write it down or even say it, but it is the only long-term solution.
.@POTUS must decisively respond to these horrific terrorist attacks against Americans & our allies in Afghanistan from a position of strength & with appropriate force. The world is starving for American leadership in this moment, & we cannot shy away from this responsibility.— Senator Bill Hagerty (@SenatorHagerty) August 26, 2021
Dereliction of Duty. Clearing his schedule probably means postponing his schedule, not a complete lid, right?
In a major escalation in the fight over Arizona’s Maricopa County’s refusal to comply with a Senate election audit subpoena, the state attorney general’s office ordered the county to give in or lose its state funding, which provides nearly a third of the county’s budget.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said that the county, America’s fourth largest in population, is violating state law by not complying with the Senate’s request for routers in its 2020 election audit and review of former President Donald Trump’s loss.
In his ruling shared with Secrets, Brnovich said, “Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is in violation of state law for failing to comply with the Arizona Senate’s legislative subpoena related to the 2020 election audit. If MCBOS does not change course, the AGO will notify the Arizona Treasurer to withhold Maricopa County’s state-shared funds as required under the law.”
According to county and state estimates, the state provides about $700 million a year to the county, over a quarter of its $2.7 billion budget.
Now at least 10 American troops killed.
As of this minute, I’m not seeing anything saying they’ve called a lid. But I haven’t checked twitter.
I know exactly what you won’t write down or say.
And I fear you are right.
