OMG, she equates Biden taking time to “honor” the dead by being there and talking to families, from what I’ve seen, about his son that died from cancer to the lives he cost?
lol
bttp
Really wanted to give chair to someone we know who could use it but may have to call St. Vincent de Paul tomorrow, think they have a truck to come get it.
Don’t know what’s forecast for us with this storm, but we have had hurricanes hit Nashville while still tropical storms.
And we sure don’t need the rain; we’re still cleaning up from the flooding 2 weeks ago.

U.S. ‘willfully ceded’ security of Kabul to Taliban during evacuation: report
August 30, 2021 | Jon Dougherty
The Biden administration gave up the opportunity to provide security around the international airport in Kabul, Afghanistan in the days prior to the deadly bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members last week, deciding instead to leave that responsibility to the Taliban, according to a report published Sunday.
The Washington Post noted that a security “void” developed as the Afghan government and military collapsed in the face of a Taliban onslaught, as the militant group’s fighters began to converge on the capital city “with reports of armed gangs moving through the streets.”
The paper went on to describe a “hastily arranged in-person meeting” between senior U.S. military and Taliban leaders in Doha, Qatar, where the militant group has long had a presence. The meeting included CENTCOM commander Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, whose area of responsibility includes Afghanistan, and Abdul Ghani Baradar, chief of the Taliban’s political arm.
“We have a problem,” the Taliban leader said, according to a U.S. official who spoke to the Post. “We have two options to deal with it: You [the United States military] take responsibility for securing Kabul or you have to allow us to do it.”
The Post said that throughout that day, President Joe Biden “remained resolute in his decision” to pull all American forces out of the country and that after the Afghan government disintegrated, his mind had not changed.
McKenzie, then, had no choice but to follow the commander-in-chief’s policy decision — or resign.
He chose the former.
“McKenzie, aware of those orders, told Baradar that the U.S. mission was only to evacuate American citizens, Afghan allies and others at risk. The United States, he told Baradar, needed the airport to do that,” the Post reported.
“On the spot, an understanding was reached, according to two other U.S. officials: The United States could have the airport until Aug. 31. But the Taliban would control the city,” the paper added.
The Post’s revelation that the U.S. had the opportunity to keep control of Kabul long enough to evacuate, with the Taliban’s blessing, is causing new reverberations throughout the country as well as renewed criticism of the Biden administration, which was already under heavy fire for the loss of more than a dozen U.S. military personnel on Thursday.
“The result of this decision by President Biden & Gen. McKenzie is that Khalil Haqqani—an al Qaeda-linked terrorist with a $5 million U.S. bounty on his head—was placed in charge of security of Kabul,” National Review correspondent John McCormack noted on Twitter.

Been hearing from friends on active duty.
Total loss of confidence in top brass.
“I think after this whole incident I’m just gonna spend the rest of my time at [redacted] and get out”
“Don’t have it in me to commit to these f@#king people’s leadership and guidance”
“I’ve just had it with these douchebags. Why hasn’t anyone resigned yet?”
“Thank God I can finally get out and retire in a year and half. I’m so f#@king over it.”
This is less of an indictment of whoever’s in the White House, but of senior MILITARY leadership over the past 20+ years.
Our senior military officers continue to fail us.
Just this morning from a service academy graduate (and former Democrat) with multiple combat tours:
“Our government is garbage... F#@king grossly, criminally, negligent garbage”

Even now I’m receiving DMs from active duty guys echoing the same sentiments.
“If these pictures are real,............”
I am with you on that Rusty.
They are saying the 20 year war has ended in Afghanistan and that ALL the military are out. But they admit that some Americans have been left behind.
Yes and been doing some errands.
I think I’m done for the day.
GRRRR!!!!
I would really like to see a helicoper take off with Bye-done like we are seeing in Afghanistan.
Heaven help those poor people STRANDED and left behind!
I would love to bring it to you.
The day became kinda interesting for a very short while. I’m just about finished taping this one class. There may have been 5 minutes left in the lecture. Suddenly, my phone alarm rang and so did all the students’ phones. Alarms were going off everywhere. The prof just kept on with his lecture.
I glance down. Tornado WARNING! I look outside. Not even raining. Just a high overcast gray. No wind. But still, ALARMS!
The students just keep listening to the prof drone on and on. He keeps on. Finally, at five minutes after the ending time of the class, he mercifully calls it quits. The students slowly gather their things and exit. Not a one is in a hurry.
I did get a chance to call up a weather map. The dang “tornado” was spotted on radar. It wasn’t on the ground and all this panic that the university was spouting was for a radar echo about 30 - 40 miles away. To be sure, the storm was moving in our direction, but sheesh! It sounded as if death and destruction were seconds away.
The warning was cancelled 10 minutes later. We did, and do, have rain.
Biden is going to speak on Afghanistan tomorrow.
They punish those who speak out....God bless these brave military, who’ve sacrificed so much...many, even their lives....for this kind of treatment, and ‘leadership’.
Just no words.
:-(
Hard to know these days.
I’m done for the day too. Got my priorities done, but not everything. Enjoy your evening!
