    "The fools... they used the Carter brain..." As little as a few weeks ago, the Democrat Party handlers who engineered the election of the 46th U.S. president were likely still celebrating their historic accomplishment. Having created a candidate who appeared to the outside world as a kindly and thoughtful moderate, all the while masking secret concessions to the likes of socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, these political operatives believed themselves on the verge of finally enacting much of their far-left agenda. Forward to the present, and the ongoing Afghanistan fiasco has so dramatically shaken many Democrats’ faith in President Biden’s competence...

    The level of incompetence apparent in the Afghanistan withdrawal has been breathtaking. Even a smart 12-year-old, after all, would know that you have to evacuate American civilians and vulnerable allies before removing your military personnel. This reality has given rise to staggering speculation, that, for example, the powers-that-be desired this messy outcome. Some have even theorized that the goal, by hate-America-first Deep Staters, is to diminish the United States. But what if the goal is actually to damage the Joe Biden administration, something that’s already a fait accompli? What if some people who pull strings were so angry about our...

    You do not shun people, ban them from public spaces, mock them as idiots, deny them gainful employment -- and life-saving surgery -- out of concern for their well-being. COVID-19 may end up destroying everything. Everything. Including our way of life. And our prosperity. Or, more accurately stated, the elites’ reaction to the virus may do what no previous enemy, foreign or domestic, has ever come close to doing. It is inarguable that without the coronavirus pandemic Joe Biden would not be president today. And he and his puppet masters are well on their way to destroying America’s work ethic,...

    Long after Twitter decided to censor the leader of the free world for suggesting dangerous ideas, such as his suggestion that the American people should have absolute assurances about the integrity of presidential elections, it struck me that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her cadre have been free as birds to use the platform to loudly crow about the need to “cancel rent.” This is the most dangerous idea to have been peddled by Democrats in recent years, which, if you’ve happened to notice the Party’s hard pitch leftward, is really saying something. The danger here isn’t difficult to discern. Say I...

    American Thinker ^ | 24 Aug, 2021 | Brandi Levine
    Although districts are not teaching classes titled “Critical Race Theory,” they are incorporating CRT ideology into programming and curricula, and hiring people whose job is to insert CRT into every aspect of school life. As irate parents and taxpayers turn up in large numbers at school board meetings across the nation to express their opposition to Critical Race Theory (CRT), school districts are backpedaling as fast as they can, claiming “we don’t teach Critical Race Theory in our district.” Although districts are not teaching classes titled “Critical Race Theory,” they are incorporating CRT ideology into programming and curricula, and hiring...

    Do you want to know why your “extinction” has become “a foregone conclusion,” dear educated elite and Deep State? It really was tremendous fun back in the Trump era when all you media mavens were acting as the willing accomplices of the Deep State in undermining and dispatching that notorious mean tweeter to Outer Slobbovia. Or at least to Mar-a-lago. How are you chaps -- and the weeping Rachel Maddow -- feeling now, as the Deep State turns on Joe Biden? I mean, now that Trump is safely out of the way -- or is he? -- maybe you guys...

    It will not be Donald Trump or any other Republican but Joe Biden that will ultimately relegate this arrogant cabal to oblivion. He is their Frankenstein’s monster unleashed. The disaster that is the withdrawal from Afghanistan coupled with other innumerable debacles that Joe Biden has singlehandedly precipitated in just seven months should not come as a surprise to anyone who has paid attention to his career. His fifty-years as a politician is littered with a litany of failures due to unforced errors, countless flip-flops, plagiarism, cupidity, mendacity and demagoguery all brought about by an overweening sense of infallibility and egocentrism....

    "When they get to Europe or now coming to America from Spain to Sweden the worst refugees are the Afghans hands down. You can have a Tunisian or a Syrian who might rape somebody but it’s like of all of the countries in Europe the Afghani refugees are like HALF of the rapes and I'm not talking about grooming gang date rape I'm talking about seeing an old woman or a young girl in the park and just dragging her under the bushes, you know choking her out and raping her.

    The emergency meeting of G7 nations on Tuesday – called by Boris Johnson as this year’s chair of the G7 – is in essence a gathering of the vanquished but faces a threefold agenda: how to ensure as many Afghans as possible can leave Kabul, and whether the US is prepared to stay beyond the original 31 August deadline for the withdrawal of all US forces; how a resettlement programme can be coordinated for the medium term; and finally, how to encourage the Taliban to form an inclusive government, including by threatening sanctions or withholding recognition. But each country will...

    Then-Vice President Joe Biden was right when he urged then-President Barack Obama to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen said Sunday, adding that the US could have left Afghanistan earlier. "I thought we could turn it around, obviously, I was wrong," Mullen, who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, told ABC News on "This Week." Mullen also said that the US should have withdrawn its troops after the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in 2011. "I think in retrospect, yeah we should have (left) ... I...

    President Biden has left Americans in Afghanistan beholden to the masterminds of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks while his spokeswoman is arguing semantics about terminology, "Fox & Friends" host Pete Hegseth said on Monday. Hegseth and "Fox News Primetime" host Jesse Watters noted White House press secretary Jen Psaki debated Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy's use of the word "stranded" to describe Americans unable to escape Afghanistan due to Taliban checkpoints. Psaki claimed "stranded" is an "irresponsible" term, and that Biden is "committed to bringing Americans who want to come home home." Hegseth, who is a retired...

    SINGAPORE - Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday called out Beijing's actions in the South China Sea, and sought to assure countries in Asia that they won't have to choose between the U.S. and China. "We know that Beijing continues to coerce, to intimidate and to make claims to the vast majority of South China Sea," Harris said in a speech in Singapore during her first official visit to Southeast Asia. "These unlawful claims have been rejected by the 2016 arbitral tribunal decision, and Beijing's actions continue to undermine the rules based order and threaten the sovereignty of nations," she...

    Latasha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, said the president’s possible gesture was admirable, but “we cannot just have symbolic progress.” President Joe Biden got down on one knee in the East Room during the celebration of the 2021 WNBA champions Seattle Storm, on the eve of the vote on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act in the House and days before the anniversary of the March on Washington. While the WNBA has been at the forefront of professional basketball when it comes to issues of social justice and police reform, this is not the first time the president gotten...

    While countries like India are sending free vaccines to poorer nations, there are companies like Pfizer which are bullying governments. The US-based company Pfizer is holding governments to ransom, interfering with their legislation, and even demanding military bases as guarantee.Pfizer has vaccine deals with 9 latin American and Caribbean countries - Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Yurug-waae. Two major latin American nations are missing from this list are Argentina and Brazil.What happened in Argentina?Talks between Argentina and Pfizer began in June 2020.

    Call it the white house’s dream scenario: In the end, the voters don’t blame Joe Biden. The president’s withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan simply aligns him with everyone else who has given up on the notion that the military could mold a fractious country into a stable democratic ally. The administration is hoping that grisly images of desperate Afghans clinging to a C-17 fade, replaced by...
