Kamala Harris discussed Christmas shopping and climate change but failed to mention the current crisis in Afghanistan during her major foreign policy speech on Monday. Addressing a round table of business leaders before her speech she warned climate change and the pandemic have contributed to supply chain issues suggesting parents consider getting Christmas presents now. 'The stories we are hearing about caution, that if you want to have Christmas toys for your children, now might be the time to start buying because the delay may be many, many months. Across the board people are experiencing issues, and of course the climate crisis is fueling a lot of this. When we look at the stronger typhoons that have disrupted shipping lanes and sea level rise which threatens port infrastructure as an example, these are the issues that are that are causing these disruptions.'
Harris, who kicked off her week-long Asia tour on Sunday, also delivered sharp rebuke to China for its incursions in the South China Sea warning its actions there amount to coercion and intimidation affirming the U.S. will support its allies in the region against Beijing's advances. But she once again dodged the most weighty issue: Afghanistan. She's been criticized in the U.S. for her silence leaving remarks to figures such as National Security Adviser, Sullivan, Defense Secretary, Austin, and Joe Biden himself. Harris also remained quiet on comments made by Adam Schiff who claims President Biden is unlikely to meet his August 31 deadline to evacuate US citizens and their allies from Afghanistan. He said a full evacuation was possible but very unlikely. Despite not mentioning the chaos in Kabul during her address Harris was praised by Biden during a visit by the WNBA - during which he joked he may need a job soon.

We left in secret like thieves in the night, so it’s hard to imagine how we snuck our equipment out.
I have heard that some aircraft left behind at Bagram were “disabled,” but that is just a rumor.
Is she KIDDING? What moron!!
Eh, the lady in the movie had way, more class than Kamala.
LOL, very good point.
I can’t even imagine 984 C-17’s....someone had to hit the wrong key....I would question whether or not we even HAVE 984 C-17’s. I have no knowledge of what our inventory is but that is an awful lot!! The list given and reported on for what was left behind has 4 C-130’s on it...those certainly COULD have been used. I just don’t know but that puts me in the same box with the idiots in DC..who hem and haw their way through press briefings.
I have a friend retired AF who flew transport (won’t say the model because I’m not sure) and I will ask him what he thinks of that number 984...he flew for the reserves out of the old March AFB after active duty..
Just caught some of the Pentagon briefing - good grief. Isn’t there a better spokesperson they could find than Kirby? He was bad years ago and he hasn’t improved - really is much worse..
The Army uniformed guy beside him - don’t know who he is - said something about “getting equipment and people out” - talking about Kandahar... What on earth equipment could he mean?
The deadline is going to be met and the Taliban is going to help with securing the airport and with evacuation. And I guess they’ll sell the US some beautiful resort property high in the mountains at the same time..since they don’t have a bridge in Brooklyn....
Mayorette of Feral land.
Historical Mistakes BTTT!
“getting equipment and people out” - talking about Kandahar..””
My goof - I meant Kabul - something didn’t feel right when I typed that..
I heard it repeated on FOX a bit ago and he said, “troops and equipment” and possibly he meant “their” equipment but was he talking about WEAPONS? Heaven forbid - that’s what makes them troops. Words means nothing to these pukes.
“Words! Words! Words! I’m so sick of words. I get words all day through - first from him, now from you - is that all you blighters can do?”
That’s really too kind a word for those marched out to set us straight.
Eliza - My Fair Lady...
Meanwhile in Afghanistan anyone caught shoppoing for Christmas presents will be stoned. Sorry atranded Americans who ‘don’t want to come home’ as Biden’s team has dubbed you.
Let’s me get this straight, JOE BIDEN IS now the COVID czar and KAMALA HARRIS IS our little mystery shopper.
You win the internet! lol
