When you run out of things to say, just say “end times.”

Pen Farthing brought our son’s dog home to us after he was killed by Taliban’
September 2, 2021

Pen Farthing decided to do everything in his power to reunite Tony Lewis and wife Sandi with the dog Peg, who had been their brave son Conrad’s companion after receiving a heartbreaking phone call.

n February 2011, Pen Farthing picked up the phone at his Nowzad animal shelter in Kabul to the father of an Army hero in England asking for his help.

“I understand you bring soldiers’ dogs home,” said the man, wanting to know if he could repatriate the homeless mongrel that had kept his son company while he served in Helmand.

Pen said the region was one of the most dangerous on earth, and asked if his son could help get the animal to the Afghan capital.
But the man replied: “No, he died there two weeks ago.”
The former Royal Marine, who won a special recognition award at the Daily Mirror’s Animal Heroes Awards in 2015, would later remember how, at that moment, he decided to do everything in his power to reunite Tony Lewis and wife Sandi with the dog who had been their brave son Conrad’s companion.
Within days he had mounted a complex operation to have the pet, called Peg, flown out of the battle zone in a Chinook helicopter to Camp Bastion, then put in a Humvee and driven to Kabul

The reconstituted Al-Qaeda only attacks blue cities.
I’ve learned a lot since September 11, 2001.

I no longer give a rats ass if they attack New York City on a weekly basis.

No more red blood for blue cities.

Well, "losing" Afghanistan may not be a complete loss.

We will probably end up with a half million or so of their inhabitants being settled in this country so we can't call it a "complete" loss. We can still enjoy the finer points of Jihad.

Chamberlain’s Munich agreement wasn’t a strategic blunder, he was buying time to rebuild Britain’s military to get it ready for war.

The stragetic mistake was Stanley Baldwin’s continued downsizing of Britain’s military even as Germany rearmed. Baldwin deserves more blame than Chamberlain. Chamberlain was at least buying time with his appeasement policy to gear Britain up for war.

Biden is doing absolutely nothing except sabotage the US.

Biden just followed the orders from Obama. That is who is in control.
