When I see what’s happening in Afghanistan, I don’t see the country I fought for during my 30 years in the military.
Two days ago, I received the following text from a business associate in Afghanistan:
Hello James,
As you know, Afghanistan is on the brink of a drastic devastating change to its system and the fabric of its society. Taliban has taken control of the country and is targeting humanitarian and NGO in Afghanistan and they are conducting house by house search to identify NGOs, UN, and civil society activist. Currently, my wife and I are in danger, if Talib identifies our status we will not be alive anymore. We are looking to get out here to save our lives. Thus, I am contacting you to assist us to get out here and save our lives.
The administration keeps insisting that "all is under control." It is also dealing directly with the Taliban — who control security to Kabul airport — while at the same time stating that U.S. policy is still not to negotiate with terrorists. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is relying heavily on the statements and promises by Taliban leaders to evacuate Americans from Afghanistan. As we would say in the military, the administration's policy and actions are FUBAR. I will let you figure out the meaning of the acronym for yourself.
Despite a feckless attempt at spinning a positive narrative through the art of kabuki theater, texts like the one that I received tell the real story of what is taking place on the ground. It is time for the administration to come clean and tell it like it is. Once the election was called in his favor, Biden assured Americans, "I'm going to tell it to you straight. I'm going to tell you the truth."

REPORT: The Taliban Is Hunting Down, Killing Afghans Using Biometric Data Gathered And Then Abandoned By The US

Both the innocent and the guilty-as-sin will claim “they didn’t do it”. The fact that Biden said “I’m going to tell you the truth” is meaningless.
People such as this business associate do not deserve this.
Don’t forget the State Department’s list they purposely gave the Taliban.
Stolen elections have consequences.

They lead to broken, dysfunctional and autocratic systems, and ours is seriously broken.
We are now ruled by a regime. We are a republic in name only.
While a handful of them are making noise and trying to distance themselves (at least verbally) from the Xiden regime, probably in anticipation of next year's mid-terms, the vast majority of them are circling the wagons and even praising his feckless "leadership."
The congress won’t do a damn thing about it. Just the normal plumes of hot air over the Potomac — signifying nothing.
All have my prayers.
Maybe it’s super busy, but I can’t open that link. Same thing happened yesterday on a twitter link where the Aussie woman was bragging about their new Covid concentration camp.
I think Twitter is throttling negative videos.
Whatever it is that we've become, we became it after Bay of Pigs in Cuba, doubled down on it with the Montagnards (and likely our own POW/MIAs) in Vietnam, and tripled down with the Kurds in Iraq.
With few exceptions, the policy and decision makers in our government have generally been a dishonorable lot for a very long time. Statists regard individual lives as disposable once their purpose has been served. The only difference is that nowadays they are far less coy about revealing that.
This is unfortunate!
Upon receiving the text, I did what I could, which, in my case, as a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia, meant contacting Senator Mark Warner’s office.

Good luck with that.
People on the Right like James Poplar still don’t seem to get that they are dealing with an opposition that doesn’t care about the truth and has the Marxist mentality that their objective - worldwide totalitarian government - justifies any means to get there.
I think the root of this blindness to the delusion and deceit of the Left may very well be symptomatic of trusting in man rather than trusting in God.
Restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic requires enough hearts turning from trusting in man, his “goodness”, and his government and instead trusting fully in God in Christ who has sacrificed all to redeem individuals and the world.
