Associated Press should check with Chris Wray to see if he still thinks “white supremacists” are our biggest threat.

When President Trump dealt with the Taliban, he told them if they did not keep to any agreement, he would bomb the hell out of them.
See the difference?

America’s reign as the sole global superpower will be marked from the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 to the fall of the US Embassy in Kabul on August 15, 2021.
We gave it away.

How many hundreds of billions and lives lost for this? The sickening part is that the Biden flying monkeys all think this can be "Handled" with the right PR and issued talking points. It's not the actual situation they are concerned about but more in how it looks?!!
Rubbing a shine on a turd doesn't get the desired result.

Biden, on the other hand, has been steadfast in his refusal to change the Aug. 31 deadline, in part because of his belief that the American public is on his side. While surprised by elements of random journalism, clearly the corrupt MSM are trying to shield slow-Joe. The corrupt MSM would have devoured Trump with screaming headlines with multiple pictures of women, children, and LGBTQ.
The issue is NOT withdrawing US forces from Afghanistan, the issue is Biden's complete and utter failure to do it in a sane and rational manner. Biden and Milley pulled out critical assets a month ago. They have no intel on the ground by the State Department's own admission. And then they told the Taliban when exactly they were leaving and politely asked them to go along. Days ago Biden begged the Middle East for more oil. Biden and Milley are weaklings more concerned about paying for sex change operations and raising the rainbow flag. They are super screw ups and China is just licking their chops with Taiwan.

No President should ever be stunned by an event he could have controlled. Maybe he shouldn’t have gone on vacation.

The Biden Team is symbolic of the Democrat Party. A hollowed out, diseased ideology that only offers destruction and survives due to their mad thirst for power, and with the help of their PR firm- the US Media and big tech.
