Trump would have droned the bejesus out of the Taliban.
Trump would have droned the begeezes (there, fixed it) out of the Taliban.
Well articulated one of my oldest and dearest friends. See you soon.
There have been reports in the past (prior to the Trump Administration even) that Taliban fighters were intercepted and taken into custody at our Southern border already.
The number of them will simply increase and I've no doubt that many will get through.
The next terrorist attack on American soil is absolutely the fault of pResident Xiden and his Administrative Cabal.

If Biden can’t secure Afghanistan with the greatest military in the history world, I don’t think we have to worry about Biden harassing us about vaccines or masks. Just blow him off. He is weak.
For reference: CNN Says Biden's July 10th Speech about Afghanistan is the Worst Speech of his pResiency
Hang onto this one. CNN's online news actually gets shit right whereas CNN "News" on Cable TV is a complete shit-show.
A few different takes:
First, Afgan is seen by both the Russkies & Chicoms as a problem spot that they were happy to have in American hands. Now it’s their problem, and there are NO natural alliances here, anywhere.
The supply chain was already in serious trouble from China Virus. Demented Perv Biteme has just added to the America First reality. Gotta get stuff somewhere.
Postively brilliant observation.
Roger that - standing by.
(while, by the way, blowing the cover of several CIA Department Heads on the panel of TV sets Biden was looking at),
while Psaki has decided to take a week-long vacation starting on August 15th.
Calls are going unanswered.
Nobody is home at the White House. We have no leadership whatsoever.
Nailed this one Laz...
Agree. Credit to Wendy Rogers.
I think this is all being done to wake America (and the world, btw) up. You’d think we’d be there by now, but no. Too many people are still blind. Or willfully blind. Some people are unable to learn by hearing or seeing. They have to experience it. (Sign: Wet Paint. Paint has fingerprints in it.)
I’ve read that about 4-6% of people will never wake up to facts and evidence. I think we still have way more than that in my neighborhood (deep blue area). But reports from friends and family outside of my area are looking better. One dingbat in-law is probably not awake yet, but at least seems to be shutting up more.
Praying that at 7:14 daily.
Well, now that you asked. It means that in a few more day, weeks, or months it means, Thanks to the People’s Choice, One Joe the Thief Biden that there will be a Hell of a lot more muslins over here waiting until they can cut off my head. Or chop it off. When the People, via their choice of whom occupies the White House, One Joe the Liar and Thief, have finished their work. There will be more muslims in the United States than wetbacks and Citizens combined. Each with a machete to chop off heads at the appointed time. And what was once the United States of America will be a smoking, smoldering heap of ashes. Thank you Biden voters.
While the news here is Americentric, the big picture is occluded and obscured.
Good point. If you’re paying attention, you can see people all over the world rising up to throw off their shackles.
Those of us who are not afraid are doing the same. I don’t wear a mask. No jab for me. Sadly, I know too many who will wear a mask because “they don’t want to be hassled” or get the jab because “all my friends got it”. So sad that so many are afraid to think for themselves or stand up for themselves.
fr needs to come up with roving backup plans...
Some more positive news, SNAP (food stamp) recipients will be able to get 25% more filet mignon and fresh lobster courtesy of the American taxpayer. (sigh)
You and your son are in my prayers...
It might be time for the children of liberal ‘elites’ to send their children off to war to defend the Biden’s, Gore’s and Soros’ of the country.
We’re so screwed
China wants Afghanistan for it’s rare earth elements. The Chinese don’t care if Afghan women wear burqas/masks...oops, I mean full hear coverings or not...

Recent exploration of rare volcanic rocks in the rugged, dangerous desert of southern Afghanistan has identified world-class concentrations of rare earth elements, the prized group of raw materials that are essential in the manufacture of many modern technologies, from electric cars to solar panels. So far, geologists say, they have mapped one million metric tons of these critical elements, which include lanthanum, cerium and neodymium.
That’s enough to supply the world’s rare earth needs for 10 years based on current consumption
China provides more than 85 per cent of the world’s rare earths and is home to about two-thirds of the global supply of scarce metals and minerals like antimony and baryte, according to the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).Apr 25, 2021
China’s dominance of rare earths supply is a growing concern ...

Why does China produce the most rare earth elements?
What percentage of rare earth metals does China have?
90 percent
As of 2019, China still produced roughly 85 percent of the world’s rare earth oxides and approximately 90 percent of rare earth metals, alloys, and permanent magnets.
Rare Earth Elements:

Neodymium has the world’s mightiest magnetic powers, making it essential for missile guidance systems. Lanthanum enhances the clarity of glass, particularly for high-end camera lenses, such as those used for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, and phosphorescent europium warms the hues in LED lights and plasma displays, while its unique neutron-absorbing properties make it a crucial ingredient in the control rods used in nuclear reactors.
All three are part of a class of 17 elements known as rare-earth metals that are critical for modern technologies, from cellphones to aircraft engines, and from missiles to aircraft carriers. Yet despite their critical nature, the U.S. depends on China for 80 percent of its rare-earth metal consumption.
Largely it's people to drive the trucks.
