How would you like to be one of the 15,000+ American citizens in Kabul, or surrounding region, and getting this notice from the United States State Department:
“A congressional aide tells CBS News we have no partners left in Afghanistan to safely get Americans in-country to Kabul.” (link)
…. But they planned for every contingency right?
Joe better hope this doesn’t turn into Little Bighorn.
Last I checked … the public was cheering on the Indians. You can bet HALF this country will be cheering the TallyBahn
Gee, you must have some terrible neighbors…
Joe has no clue and Joe’s puppeteers probably don’t care. Many of our soldiers there are likely the patriots Thoroughly Moronic Milley is weeding out of the military anyway. Its all good. /s
Big difference between then and today.
Then, only Custer and troops slaughtered.
Today, Biden is inviting the enemy (millions of unvetted and diseased across the southern border and tens of thousands of unvetted Afghans) into our country among the populace.
The government isn’t guaranteeing our safety here. Actually they are guaranteeing that we will not be safe.
Entire gov/entrenched Establishment has set their own gallows pole with the swamp water drained down enough for people to finally see how much failure and grift
I await without expectation the body drops.
These people were working in support of the US government?
If so, a costly mistake. Never trust the the US government will be there to support you. Ever.
It confirms Sundance’s 4th estate coup of the USA
Lots of contractors……
Those contractors that get out may not have so fond of feelings toward the swampers.
Yours is possibly an understatement….
The money was too good even if undefended by US troops.
Oh yes the compensation for “support services” over there has been astronomical.
(Risk vs. reward………)
This is what happens when you replace “Strategies” coursework with CRT at our Military colleges.
Those most adept at political-speak rise quickly through the ranks. No military expertise necessary
Pegged it. Heh, with invaders flooding our border and thousands of unvetted Afghans to be dispersed here, along with Antifa, BLM, continually roaming freely in some places, and with the excuse of COVID, violent criminals released from prison, it isn’t interested in guaranteeing our safety anywhere at any time.
Looking at the picture of the airplane full of people, most refuges are young men of fighting age. Maybe only 20% of women and children. This is just a way to further invade the country with refugees. Why aren’t the planes filled with the Americans?
I read elsewhere that they cut in line when the plane was loading. If true, the pilot should not have left until they were removed and replaced with American citizens.
They had the Americans sheltering in place, not yet coming to the airport. Now they can reach it. Afghanis forced their way onto the plane, and the dummy pilots flew them out.
can = can’t
We Were Soldiers (not stuffed shirts in DC)
Lt. Colonel Hal Moore : I can’t promise you that I will bring you all home alive. But this I swear, before you and before Almighty God, that when we go into battle, I will be the first to set foot on the field, and I will be the last to step off, and I will leave no one behind.
Even in Moore’s time, the Pentagon was overstaffed with stuffed shirts.
They don’t make them like that anymore. We could definitely use some of them in the Pentagon and on the line.
A great book , “WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE” was one of the best books I ever read. The movie was also good. He retired at rank of LT General and died at the age of 94 at his home in Auburn, Alabama. A war hero by all accounts.
OMG. Incompetence on display for the world to see.
Joe is earning Hunter’s CCP gigabucks, doing maximum damage before 25th A, election fraud boils over, impeached and convicted (oooh, I like that sound), or the country removes him en masse.
“Beautiful Dreamer….”?
Always has been.
They don’t care.
Not Incompetence. Guess again.
I agree — this is intention, not incompetence.
Embassy personnel top priority … State Dept. twiddlers got out a week ago. Contractors and Translators? Meh. We’re not gonna risk Soldiers lives or political capital for those bottom rungers
Intentional Incompetence? Yeah, I can visualize that.
I think this was planned and purposeful. Its purpose, to demoralize Americans and import lots of Afghan refugees.
Got it. You think correctly.
Import even more people who want to kill us.
The Arizona audit, and the border crisis, are yesterday’s news.
How about that.
Incompetence that may well result in mass American deaths. That’s criminal dereliction of duty IMO.
I suspect mass American deaths will come. Abroad and here. What you call “criminal dereliction of duty”, this admin and its allies call “Action in Accordance with Plan”.
The JoeBama Administration will have a lame and unacceptable excuse repeated and glorified by the Government Pravda Media, that’s a certainty.
Prayers and safety for all Americans in this Hell Hole
The Americans in Afghanistan are most likely Democrat Communist/Fascist/ Totalitarian enemy within. Why would anyone want them back in America to endeavor to destroy America?
Not all, but most. I just pray the smart ones on our side saw the light and got out while the getting was good.
I know of a young missionary couple still there.????????????
Infidel AND promoting Christianity. Double whammy.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Pentagon officials say hundreds of Afghan refugees could be headed to Fort McCoy in western Wisconsin.
“Garry Reid, director of the Department of Defense’s Afghanistan Crisis Action Group, told reporters on Monday that the U.S. Army is working to set up reception centers for Afghan refugees at Fort McCoy and Fort Bliss in Texas.
He says the Army is preparing to receive as many as 22,000 refugees at the two bases as well as at Fort Lee in Virginia.”
.
Huh?
These idiot refugees — who couldn’t count on the US military in their own country to help them help themselves — are now somehow believing they can . . .?
Other countries won’t take in refugees due to their ‘COVID status’?
But, us rubes will continue to rube . . .
They’re mostly males of fighting age and they should have remained home to help those who are still there. Shame on them.
They can be put to use here. Swear ’em in put ’em in uniform, arm ’em and sic them on our most dangerous White Domestic Terrorists. /s
Relocate them, with uniforms, etc., into Democrat cities to combat inner city gun balance.
Alphabet agencies could support both sides.
Disgusting to read this, especially when American citizens have been left behind in enemy territory. Shame on Wisconsin for allowing this. These refugees belong in Hawaii with zuckerberg, California with Pelosi and in Washington, D.C. They can also go to Oregon where the governor doesn’t care about the people there and there are no petitions for recall so perhaps they don’t care.
Gov Evers in Wisconsin is a democrat hard left liberal –
He will go down to meet the plane and give them all a big hug.
Same people dumb enough to think they are James Bond and climbed on the exterior of the aircraft to catch the flight out of town.
Take them to Kennebunkport, ME .
I’d pay for one of the busses.
Dover Airforce Base, Dover Delaware? Joe’s home state. And just up the road from Maryland, who’s governor Hogan, said he’ll take some.
They may have to kick some Mexicans and Salvadorans and Haitians and Africans and Unidentified-But-Middle-Eastern-Lookings out of their bunks to make room for the Afghanis
… I reckon
Perhaps the Afghan Refugees can battle the Somali refugees for dominance in MN?
Ghanis vs Skinnys
Where the hell do you house 22000 people on the spur of the moment?

October Surprise 22
Biden didn’t kill himself?
My bet was on Jill developing some illness so Joe resigns—to care for her. Given his family losses the lapdog media would dutifully spin it for him.
He leaves out of ‘duty’ not shame.
She’ll make a miraculous recovery six months later.
Biden will return to the White House tomorrow morning and do an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC.
watch for George to ask Joe about Jill’s recovery — after her foot surgery at Walter Reed.
Always the coward as people know he can’t even wipe his own butt
On Sunday I forecast Oct. Yah, the October surprise. But I was thinking it’d be by natural causes, such as resignation or impeachment.
There might be a final trip head first down the stairs.
Wake up dead….
how are those strandied 15,000 Americans even getting THAT message?
is this a tragic form of Biden inflation – the very real impending tragedy of perhaps 5,000 to 10,000 Americans in country – now 15,000
what the good are you, “Intelligence Community” if you don’t KNOW?

This is a standard message that all airlines send when you book a flight in Chicago.
Well played
Here’s a great story from the UK DM.
Back in the days before he became the fake President, Joe Demento told Hussein’s special rep from Afghanistan exactly what he thought of our obligations.
‘F*** that, we don’t have to worry about that. We did it in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger got away with it.‘
I wonder if anyone from the useless media will be following up on this.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9901577/F-k-Biden-told-Obamas-special-representative-Afghanistan-obligations.html
No worries, everyone.
Ted Cruz is calling for an investigation!
Senator Ted Cruz
@SenTedCruz
· 20h
Once Americans are safely evacuated, Congress should begin a thorough investigation into how this Afghanistan catastrophe unfolded and provide the American people with an honest accounting of their leaders’ intel analysis, policy decisions, and political calculations.
I sense that a strongly worded letter will appear soon! Harumph!!!
If that was a Blazing Saddles allusion I owe you 50 points.
And take THAT!!!!! (upper case and additional exclamation points for added emphasis and impact)
AHAHHAHAHAHHAHA! Just too funny.
So another dog and pony show?
Yeah and Kevin McCarthy wants to form a commission to look into it. These guys in DC live a rarified existance, like ivory tower intellectuals who’ve lost all touch with the real world. Yet I bet lots of them (like Cruz) think they’re very much in touch and that their proposals (such as calling for an investigation) are the correct path. It’s as if they don’t even realize how lost they are in the forest for the trees scenario.
Cruz is an idiot.
Pretty much describes a vast number of members in his party. Sadly the dems don’t have a monopoly on idiots.
Great … hours and hours of Gen. Meallymouth mumbling statistics, eventualities, and probabilities … oh! and Trump. Yeah, Trump … baaaaad.
“once Americans ae safely evacuated”….which means Cruz’s investigation is a moot point, as always. Sick of him too.
Who needs these losers…
My cat came up with that idea yesterday!!!
“The Embassy in Afghanistan has confirmed…”
Is that the same empty Embassy that was abandoned last week? Yeah, that’s what I figured!
There’s still a curtain there, Oz from the Emerald City.
And yet, Md. and Va. announce they are ready to accept any and all Afghan refugees.
So little sense in this world today.
Coming to a neighborhood near me.
“Lockdown Larry” Hogan never asked me…. or anyone I know. That’ll probably result in an increase in covid cases so….here come the lockdowns again.
We citizens are just the unwashed hoi polloi….. Our health and safety doesn’t count.
We are only pawns in the game of life.
We went so rapidly from America Last to America First…and back again, it makes me dizzy, infuriated, frustrated, and saddened.
What a lost opportunity for the world–we were ascendant with Trump. Our enemies were on the ropes. Now this.
Ugh.
Makes for a good movie
To paraphrase The Snake – they knew what he was before they installed him in the WH.
To all the rats and the never Trumpers – you asked for this, you committed illegal and unethical acts to achieve this. I just wish I weren’t stuck on the same sinking boat.
The Taliban will keep them safe with their shiny new MRAPs.
Was this the problem in Benghazi? The required paperwork requesting evac wasn’t completed in triplicate?

ChiCom Joe’s press secretary is redefining the word “focus” to mean inattention/indifference/disinterest/inaction! Once you understand that the video makes perfect sense!
She did actually say that, “…our work at the moment is undoing the work at hand…..”
So she came back in, apparently.
I think she said “on doing” to be fair. Not that any of them are ever fair.
I hope she burns from the heat. Go back on vacay, life was better w/out having to look at this evil witch.
I guess Psackey is in a tizzy that she had to cut her vacay short. What a dismissive, evil, bi**h she is. (Sorry, not sorry, but if Ad rem must delete, so be it.)
She’ll receive some Bonus Bucks and a Hunter Biden painting for her troubles.
Thus sprak Jenna Wormtongue.
Stated differently…
NO!!
Gosh I HATE this moo
A small child could have told you to get civilians out first.
It’s pretty clear:
This is a planned failure, an intentional defeat for the United States by enemies both Foreign & Domestick. It is meant to signal Taiwan and others that the US is a Toilet-Paper Tiger under
BidenObama.Until proven otherwise, I will assume that China ordered this up–not that Shadow Brain Hussein wouldn’t have done it for free.
The only question is will they also order Joe to lose a war over Taiwan?
Try this: “Today the Administration announced the movement of aircraft carriers from the China Sea into the Indian Ocean to help with the massive Hostage Crisis there…”

I bet the Chinese have them figured out.
Good question.
Maybe she should ask some of those WWII vets she used to fluff interview.
They would give her the answer, but she wouldn’t like it.
Does anybody think MacArthur, Eisenhower, Patton or Marshall would be this stupid?
Doesn’t this prove now that CRT has NO place in the military?
Lt. Fuzz wouldn’t be this stupid.
Corporal Klinger (Aka Gen. Miley) would have handled it better……..
Colonel Schultz wouldn’t be this stupid.
“I see nothing”
Colonial Klink and Sgt Shultz
Communism has no place in the military.
Of course, but I recall Obama cleared out the military upper echelon of warriors and replaced them with obedient left wing politicians and social workers.
Officers like those you mentioned are not wanted and every effort is made to show them the door.
Mouth breathing Martha never fails at being a mouth breather.
It’s called the Biden contingency plan. No one going in or out…Pincer Movement Martha.
Shelter in place was the order I heard yesterday from this administration. One would think that Joe, his Military and State Dept. Dunces would be speaking with their allies to coordinate rescue and military combat plans. But his State Dept. just said Joe hasn’t spoke with any allies. Maybe Dr. Jill is brushing up on military tactics and will let Joe know what to do next.
Here’s a better idea, how about Austin and Milley just might want to plug in the Bat signal for Mark Nutsch and ask for some help and advise.
It happens very easily when people are put in charge of tasks they have ZERO experience in the real world dealing with. How many more examples do we need. The only time shit actually got done was when someone with real world problem solving experience happened to catch them off guard and got elected. Can he come back now please…. ??????????
This is what you get Martha, when you conspire with Democrats to install a traitorous administration that serves China.
“Ba,ba,backout out ba ,

Almost a carbon-copy response from he and Jen- “we wont comment on hypotheticals; we will focus on the task at hand”-
What a contrast between this and the last Administration.
Yeah, I miss Kayleigh flipping through her 3-ring binder for the perfect reply.
For once the lame media is doing their job and asking tough questions to put on the heat. Color me shocked.
I’m going to have to circle back to you on that…
“I/we are going to stay focused on the task at hand”, aka “ignoring the question.”
Exactly
This soyboy must be wearing depends. Such a big cranium with nothing inside. Fool.
Who would have thought that Harris had the most common sense of the whole lot by not going in front of media gauntlet and taking the incoming. If she had any integrity she would resign before the depends hits the fan.
JoeBama is under total control of his handlers and advisers. They have a plan and it’s probably the exact opposite of what it should be in the minds of an American patriotic citizen.
Looks like they are setting the stage to leave thousands of our people behind to be slaughtered by the murderous Islamic terrorists.

Translation: Adios MoFo
I translated this ridiculous government statement in an earlier post today:
“Dear Bait. Now that we have cast you out far out into the water, please make your way across the dark lake. If you make it back to our pole, we may take you off the hook. But if the hungry fish gobble you up on the way, no worries. While we may not be able to then save you, we will then be justified and allowed to bomb the lake again.”
I’ll just add:
“Yours Truly,
The United States Government
Helping Kill Americans Since 1913.”
The Left’s complete lack of interest in US citizens has never been more clear.
Hmm, so the illegitimate Biden administration is currently flying 1000’s (soon to be 10k’s) of Afghan refugees to the United States…meanwhile up to 15k Americans are hiding and told ‘you are on your own’ if you can make it to the airport, great if not start converting to Islam now. SMH
Pretty much sums it up!! My question is HOW are they getting all of these tens of thousands of “refugees” (a/k/a single fighting age males) out of the country but they can’t manage to even get US Citizens to the airport?
Had to go back and check, but on the TLR twitter feed is post from OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical stating the NSC Jake Sullivan warned the Americans several weeks ago that they should leave, but many chose to stay right until the end.
As SD points out, that is quite a contrast from the Biden admin. telling Americans the local government would not fall.
To your point about 10k’s of fighting age males…it kind if sounds like the U.S. Govt. gave up on their own American citizens and decided to take ‘whoever’ showed up at the airport and call it a day.
Jake Sullivan is a fraud and evil person
Obama or val Jar
True statement. With armed Taliban roaming throughout the city and manning checkpoints leading to the airport, no one can guarantee your safety. The US failure to evacuate its citizens earlier has placed them in extreme jeopardy. And the situation for our Afghan allies is ten times worse.
Afghans are getting first pick.
What Afghan associated with the Americans would take the risk of going thru a Taliban checkpoint, especially with his family? Getting the first pick is predicated on reaching the airport. It is like hitting the lottery and being unable to pick up the money.
They have a better chance of making it to America, than the Americans at this point.
How so? Taliban have been allowing foreign nationals thru. Just saw 200 allowed on to the airport. Diplomats and their staffs.
Foreign nationals as in American foreign nationals?
Let’s see what happens. Our media has no idea what the GCC has been doing thr past 4 yrs
https://thediplomat.com/2018/05/saudi-arabias-new-taliban-strategy/
“But they planned for every contingency right?”
No, no, no…they planned for every “consistency”. Didn’t you hear Joe’s exculpatory speechifying about the withdrawal?
Good point. I think he covered himself from a legal perspective. Probably talking about his applesauce and pudding.
Sounds like a lawyer statement to me. (I mean, would anyone believe the statement if the government said it WOULD guarantee your security?) So maybe it is a backhanded reassurance that the government thinks it’s likely that they’ll survive and sue the government….
This video is not viewable on YouTube unless one “signs in”. A lot of us don’t sign into anything affiliated with Google.
The administration does not care about American citizens. We have seen their contempt and disregard for us throughout this fraudulent administration. They are focused on importing their “new army” of illegals they’ve been bringing in, and the illegals to replace us.
Until the sleeping public wakes up and realizes the biggest threat to us and our safety IS the federal government! It is an enemy of the people.
Coup Day 210 –
GET OUT, OUT OUT OUT!
Soon it will be like that for all of us, but there will be nowhere to go.

For 2,753,112 Afghani (AFN) I can get you a seat on the landing gear of the next plane out.
Your friend,
Achmed
Well it turns out one of the transport planes couldn’t get their landing gear up all the way up and had to land once out of Afghanistan airspace and human remains were found on the landing gear! How awful!
Well, the hits just keep getting better, don’t they!
“How would you like to be one of the 15,000+ American citizens in Kabul or surrounding region and getting this notice from the United States State Department”
The first thing I would think is what the hell happened to America’s $750 billion /year , 1,400,000 man/woman/transgender military? Where are they? We know they are not on America’s southern border.
Rounding up Jan6 insurgents and setting up stings on couple of white guys who said something like Biden is stupid.
They’re all busy taking CRT and Transgender Appreciation classes.
DHS hot on the trail of additional Jan6 insurrectionists, no effort or resource will be spared.
I will freely display my foreign policy ignorance:
If Russia, UK and others are NOT closing their Embassies, could they serve citizens of what were once allies – Americans?
I would assume that at this point all embassies are closed and if any were open, they would be utterly overwhelmed. But, again, pretty sure they’re all closed at this point.
I want to hear from the people on the ground that are in hiding.
Brian Kemp is taking 30,000 Afghanistan immigrants.
Just announced by John Fredericks on Real America’s Voice.
This is a disgrace!
Hey, don’t you know that being disgraceful is all the rage these days???
Desperate to keep his job.
95% will vote democrat.
Q: HOW did 30 000 Afghanis leave when Americans cant leave???
Biden and co. are useless, feckless, anti-Normals, at home and abroad.
However, this message (USG cannot guarantee your safety on the way to Kabul airport) is normal procedure for an American embassy in any country during emergencies requiring evacuation.
Most people seem to misunderstand what services the US embassy could/should/will provide non-official US citizens when abroad. A good summary: not much to very, very little.
From the point of view of a US embassy considering American citizens present in a given foreign country, official Americans are at the top of the totem pole, and are recipients of any and all needed security (which was why Benghazi was so shocking). Normal American citizens, who have no connections to the embassy, are viewed as second/third class citizens at best.
While the mission of any American diplomatic facility includes providing services to American citizens, that part of the mission is the least prestigious/valued. The preparations for notifying and evacuating American citizens in an emergency are sort of like the recommendation that you should carry out fire drills in your house–yeah, right, we’ll do that next year. There are lists and plans, but it all goes to hell when the s**t hits the fan. And that’s a fact, regardless of whether Condoleeza Rice is Secretary of State, or Hillary Clinton, or anyone else.
As shocking as that message must seem, spend a few years in a foreign country, in a non-USG capacity. If you do, you’ll see that message is par for the course.
Isn’t it time to get all the Communications?
I can only imagine what the world might see and hear.
Just out! Your fake poll of the day!

Next up: Proof positive Trump was wrong all along. Not our fault. Orange man bad. Wait for it.
The total projected irony of all this is just over the top – EVERYTHING they said would happen under VSGT – reckless , war monger , incompetent , will mess up foreign affairs etc. and on and on – THEY , the so-called professional career ‘ smart ‘ people have done it all, and by themselves, in just 6 or 7 months . It really defies belief . A non politician business man was totally more competent on all levels than these clowns . It is a crying shame

Sadly, because of our new arrivals with different cultural ideas, yet will have access to guns, the next round of attacks of Christians, gays, malls should begin around Christmas. Think Orlando, San Bernardino. Then the usual pablum about more gun control laws.
Benghazi all over again, they are going to leave people behind. It is sickening. There is more I can say but I won’t, I am so sad. upset and angry about this whole debacle.
