Surrender Joe has done a heck of a job with the pullout from Afghanistan, eh? They did it backwards, not getting Americans out first, and now they’re in even more danger
The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan has issued a security alert advising stranded Americans to either avoid the airport in Kabul or “leave immediately†if they are waiting at the gates.
“Because of security threats outside the gates of Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so,†the embassy announced.
“U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately,†it added.
And go where? What are Americans supposed to do? The Taliban is in charge. They also provided more guidance
- Be aware of your surroundings at all times, especially in large crowds.
- Follow the instructions of local authorities including movement restrictions related to curfews.
- Have a contingency plan for emergencies and review the Traveler’s Checklist.
- Monitor local media for breaking events and adjust your plans based on new information.
- Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program(STEP) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
- Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter.
Can you see the one thing that’s missing? Any notion of promising to get Americans out. It’s pretty much an emergency already, and has been for well over a week. The Biden admin doesn’t even seem to know how many Americans are there. The State Department has been touting that they’ve evacuated 80,000 people, but, only 4,400 have been American civilians, per the Pentagon. And the Surrender Joe admin has been making it harder for private organizations to rescue people and get them out. Oh, hey, remember when Joe was saying “just go to the airport” and Psaki was claiming that no American was stranded?
Kabul airport is facing an ‘imminent’ ISIS terror threat within ‘hours’, a British minister warned today as thousands of Afghans still desperately try to flee the Taliban-controlled country.
Armed forces minister James Heappey said there is ‘very credible reporting’ of a ‘severe’ attack which could happen ‘within hours’ by ISIS-K, the sworn enemy of the Taliban who want to cause mayhem in the new regime.
The US, Britain and Australia had already told their citizens to flee the airport over the terror threat with Western forces still stationed at the transport hub, with a multiple car-bomb attack feared by officials.
The potential attack is heaping extra pressure on the operation to evacuate stranded foreigners, with Tuesday’s deadline for foreign troops to leave fast approaching.
Even CNN is reporting this. Now, just imagine Trump was president with this going on. Imagine the way the headlines and articles would read, the furious opinion pieces. The Washington Post is more concerned with the Taliban takeover driving a COVID spike, rather than hangings, stoneings, cutting off limbs, treating women like property, killing gays, and all the rest you get with the Taliban.
Fortunately, in all the bedlam created by Joe’s withdrawal plan, there was time to vet refugees
Report: Up to 100 Afghans Seeking Resettlement in U.S. ‘Flagged’ by Terrorism Watch Lists
Up to 100 Afghans evacuated from Afghanistan and seeking to resettle in the United States have been “flagged†by Defense Department terrorism watch lists, according to a new report.
As President Joe Biden’s administration looks to fast-track tens of thousands of Afghans into the U.S. interior over the next few weeks, Defense Department officials are reportedly sounding the alarm over the potential for fraud.
An official, involved with the vetting and screening process taking place in third safe countries for Afghans seeking resettlement in the U.S., told Defense One that “up to 100 of the 7,000 Afghans evacuated as prospective recipients†of Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs have been “flagged†as “potential matches to intelligence agency watch lists.â€
How many more are hardcore Islamists, bringing their brand of hardcore Islam with them? Joe just laughs

Trump surrendered to the Taliban when he promised all troops out by May1 2021
He also ordered the release of 5000 “terrorists”
Perhaps Teach feels a bit guilty for not enlisting after 9/11 or
You were warned.
Never too early for a toke, hey Johnnie?
Bwaha! Lolgf
Exactly. Joe is just cleaning up the mess and getting it done. People were told to leave back in January, then it was reiterated 29 times since March.
So that means it’s okay to leave them to die at the hands of the enemy? You need a crash course in ethics, Scotty.
BTW, how do you know they “were told 29 times to leave”? Why not 26, or 32?
There is something about leftism wherein all of its manifestations display a total disregard for any human life they can use as a political point to further their narrative, their policies or their power. Quite morally empty these people are. No wonder they are mostly atheist if they had to consider God in their actions they’d go insane.
It’s refreshing to see conservatives now worrying about the impact of regressive taxes on the working class and on the status of Muslim women in Afghanistan.
Every tax except progressive tax is regressive. There is no fair tax. Somebody’s gonna get fuked. Leftists would rather fuk the high earners into poverty than admit nothing can be fair. A progressive income tax only taxes income, not wealth. All raising that would do is chase high earners out of the country. Does that sound like a good idea? Probably to leftists it does. Nothing says “I’m for the working man” more than killing all the employers. Well, maybe locking down small businesses over a flu with a 1.5% mortality rate, that is.
What does worrying about the status of mooslem women in Afghanistan do to help them? If you care go over and defend them you asshole but don’t put their position among their own people on anyone else. Junta joe biden the liar ands coward cared so much about them he left them there to die. Just like he did to thousands of Americans. Just like he did to thousands of allies. Just like he did to hundreds of dogs. That’s what leftists do. They complain and blame others while they run away to create a new crisis.
I spit on all of them. Ptooie!

A fair tax is what the Framers envisioned: a tax by individual, not by income. We should all be taxed the same, and by that I don’t mean the same percentage of income, but the same dollar amount.
LOL. The top marginal rate has been as high as 93% before and few wealthy were impoverished.
Years ago I remember Prof Walter Williams subbing for El Rushbo making that same argument that all people should pay the same amount of tax.
Let’s say we spend $4 trillion a year at the fed level. 4,000,000,000,000/ 260,000,000 = $15,000 and change per adult
So, a mom and dad with two employed teens would owe $60,000/year. Bill Gates would owe $15,000. Seems fair. Why do conservatives hate the working class so much??? Why do you love Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos?? Do you feel they earn their $100 billion a year more than the teacher earns her $40,000 (of which she owes $15,000 to the government to pay for the roads that Bezos delivery trucks use)?
Let’s say an older couple makes about $400,000 a year between them… I bet they’d be delighted to only pay $30,000 a year in taxes!!
Imagine the retired couple living off their modest pensions… owing $30K a year might just starve them to death.
Many conservatives will solve the problem by slashing spending! Defense? Interest on debt? Old age pensions? Medicare/Medicaid? Those are your choices if you want to make a difference.
“LOL. The top marginal rate has been as high as 93% before and few wealthy were impoverished.”
your ignorance is legion. When tax rates were that high nearly every fukin thing you could think of was either deductible or exempt so don’t go throwing percentages around that NOBODY ever paid, liar.
Tax on income is a tax to earn a living. Rich or poor people have to earn a living and just because (thanks to rapist joe) I make more than you is no reason for me to pay a higher percentage than you. If you got a beef with rich people it’s not because we stand to gross about $6 million this year (thank you biden relocation programs for illegals) it’s with what they own. You hate Bezos being worth $150 billion not some up and coming entrepreneur grossing a few million this year after losing two million last year.
Besides, a vast majority of the super rich millionaires and billionaires are leftist commecrats today. I can name ten billionaire demofascists off the top of my head and I bet you can’t name three billionaire Republicans let alone conservatives without the help of tour authority Google.
There are plenty of good, decent, fair ways to tax the citizenry none of which begin with “getting back”, retribution, envy, jealousy, or hate. But if all you want to do is bitch about tax rates nobody actually paid from a hundred years ago when people only made 6k a year that can’t solve anything.
As usual everything you relate to has to do with forcing somebody you hate to do something you want them to do. That’s the way fascists think.
Have you ever considered why you think like that? Perhaps sought help for that burning hatred you carry around all the time?
BTW, we care as much about Afghan women as you do about Ashli Babbitt.
