The ends of things matter as much as the beginnings. This end was unworthy of an epic struggle. It was not a departure but an abandonment. We left carelessly, with incompetence that can hardly be imagined. Could there have been less planning and foresight? That’s what will follow Joe Biden now, his carelessness and, when it broke as a world-wide story with the stampedes at the airport and people falling from planes, his stubbornness and pride.
It was weird from the beginning. The withdrawal plan always seemed abrupt and arbitrary. Why did the White House think the 20th anniversary of 9/11 was the right date for a pullout? What picture of America do they carry in their heads that told them that would be symbolically satisfying? It is as if they are governed by symbols with no understanding of what the symbols mean.
Yesterday Paul Gosar tweeted that the Biden Administration is rescuing the wrong people while Americans remained trapped behind enemy lines:
These are the two photos that he re-tweeted:
The left and the mainstream media decide to criticize him with statements that everyone should be rescued and that these “poor” people do deserve to be rescued too.
Everyone seems to be focused on the “poor” refugee status that no one noticed that they are not that poor as it seems.
The bags that some of them are carrying are worth over $1000.

Rumors are that many of the people that are evacuated used the American influence to gain a lot of wealth.
The Taliban’s swift conquest is attributable to many factors. But one that crosses multiple administrations yet is getting very little attention right now is corruption. Specifically, the kind of corruption the U.S. aided and abetted over many years, glad-handing crooked officials and stalling anti-corruption investigations, as ordinary Afghans struggled and watched officials grow wealthier and wealthier. While corruption can hardly be described as the sole reason for the Afghan government’s disintegration, it is a consistent through-line of multiple American administrations — and an element that the U.S. has consistently overlooked.
Time for evacuations is running out ahead of Biden’s Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw most remaining U.S. troops.
Army Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor, Joint Staff deputy director for regional operations, told Pentagon reporters Saturday that the U.S. has evacuated 17,000 people through the Kabul airport since Aug. 15. About 2,500 have been Americans, he said. U.S. officials have estimated there are as many as 15,000 Americans in Afghanistan.

The only men getting into the airport and out on planes have been approved by the Taliban.
They have our former biometric face scanners, and none of our former interpreters or other allies would DARE to get near a Taliban checkpoint.
The Taliban are playing us for fools, flooding the airport with bogus “refugees” and keep out our AmCits and former allies.
We are getting sleeper jihadists, and the most corrupt who can bribe their way through Taliban checkpoints.
I never cared for Afcrapistan or its people. I just wanted Osama. And they should have hanged that prick from the Empire State building.
And just like that the heat is off dementia Joe’s administration and it is business as usual. Where are the resignations and impeachment cry?
Before Americans are even considered for rescue they have to answer some questions first:
1. Who did you vote for last Presidential election?
2. What is your race?
3. What is your sexuality?
4. What gender do you identify as?
5. Do you properly recognize Nancy Pelosi as the one true God?
Why is Joe Stolen still in the Oval Office? The answer is, he’s not, most of the time. He is either at Camp David, Dover, Delaware, or at some transition point in between. He does not write the pronouncements he makes from the podium, and he cannot, could not, answer any questions posed to him that have not been submitted in advance.
An empty suit dressed up on a sock puppet. With a ventriloquist mouthing the words.
Who is running this country, anyway?
The Rat/RINO uniparty of treason protects him. That’s why there was no major investigation into the election theft. Hillarys Trump/Russia collusion hoax got a 3 year investigation, but a real election theft doesn’t when it prevents a Republican from taking office.
This ‘15,000’ number....where exactly do they validate this? As districts were falling already in April/May, I just don’t think there were that many Americans staying around (other than journalists).
Yep! And just like that the Afghanistan atrocity bumbling with drawl...it’s off the front pages. When you start seeing more articles about Covid then you know the fix is in to help bumbling jo out of this mess...the White House is hoping Americans have A very short memory span.
We just got a few plane loads of Afghans dumped on us in Northern Virginia. I imagine the raping of 13 and 14 year olds and goats will start by the end of the year.
Fact check:
Some idiots may pay $1400 for those bags, but they NOT worth that much.
It’s simple: The people with the four figure luggage can afford the bribes that Deep State’s charging.
How does the author know whether the bags are originals or cheap Chinese knockoffs?
In the 3rd or 2nd world, a bag that looks $1400 is most likely a $20 copy
The fool Blinken is babbling on about ‘saving the damn Afghans... People we paid billions of dollars and our blood and treasure to for twenty years only to watch them cut and run and surrender in less than two weeks.
And now that damn idiot wants to bring all of them here? While Americans are hiding out in danger?
There’s a list - of people who actually helped us. Blinken the commie useful idiot doesn’t want to use the list he wasn’t to ‘save everyone except Americans.
Put the damn Afghans in Blinken’s neighborhood. Buying a 100,000 mansions to house these people is NOTHING compared to the trillions we threw away in that hellhole.
Let Blinken and Biden, and Obama and the elites living in the Hamptons have some new neighbors. Twenty Afghan families to each Mansions should work. I assume Obama and Larry David aren’t bigots,right? They’ll welcome the opportunity to house and educate 50,000 ‘refugees’ on Martha’s Vineyard. We can build 50 story apartment buildings with ocean views...
A lot of knock offs sold there and everywhere overseas. Don’t fall for it. They want you impressed.
These so called Americans are not REAL Americans.
Its a Corp media Lie to drag more Afghan Muslim Savages back here to vote Dem .
These are Benefits Blood sucking Afghans muslim invaders who played the Welfare Scam like the Mexicans and get on welfare and go home the check is mailed out .
Leave these savages.
They have destroyed Europe.
