The U.S. ambassador in Kabul has told staff there that four U.S. Marines were killed in an explosion at the city’s airport and three wounded, a U.S. official with knowledge of the briefing said. Two explosions ripped through crowds of Afghans trying to enter the airport on Thursday.
At least three U.S. troops were injured, a U.S. official said. Witnesses reported multiple fatalities among the Afghans, many of whom were trying to enter the airport because they had assisted U.S.-led coalition efforts and feared persecution by the Taliban.

Just heard on the radio Biden will not be speaking today, nor anyone his behalf. Don’t know if it’s correct. If it is, I have no words.

At least 10 US service members have been killed outside the airport in Kabul — from US officials according to our Pentagon team.

Biden is too much of a cowardly ass to do anything and if he does it will be probably wrong.

That’s it the mother-fxxxer needs to be impeached and I totally understand Kamala will be just as bad or worse. And I know Biden is a puppet, but it’s time for him to be put away.

Yes. Bongino is reporting that, referring to Sandra Smith’s reporting on Fox.
No updates from FPOTUS or State Department to come.
