♦ 82,300 people have been evacuated by U.S. personnel. ♦ 4,500 of them are Americans.
The U.S. and U.K. officials are warning American and British citizens to leave the vicinity of the Kabul airport immediately. [BBC Alert Here – and – State Dept. Alert Here].
The State Department warning reads:
“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.
U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately.” (link)
The U.K. Foreign Office said: “Move away to a safe location and await further advice.” Commanders dealing with vast crowds around the airport are increasingly concerned about the possibility of suicide attacks. What the new advice means for the British evacuation operation is not clear.
From Earlier Reporting there were an original 6,000 Americans in the region – “U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that 4,500 Americans have been “safely” evacuated from Afghanistan in the last couple of weeks, with up to 1,500 more remaining in the country.
“Blinken added that, of the 1,500 who may still want to flee Afghanistan, the U.S. has been in direct contact with 500 who have been given “instructions on how to get to the airport safely.” “For the remaining roughly 1,000 contacts that we had who may be Americans seeking to leave Afghanistan, we’re aggressively reaching out to them multiple times a day through multiple channels of communication,” he said.”
From the data shared by the secretary of state, 4,500 Americans have been evacuated. However, “Since August 14, more than 82,300 people have been safely flown out of Kabul. In the 24-hour period from Tuesday to Wednesday, approximately 19,000 people were evacuated on 90 US military and coalition flights,” Blinken said in the briefing today (video below).
82,300 people evacuated by the United States, and only 4,500 of them are Americans? Good grief, that means we are evacuating 78,000+ non-Americans.
Are we bringing the entire Afghan army into the United States?
I only pray if they do, they’ll all want to live in DC close to the capitol.
They’ll have to fight off the Chinese. And, you know how they fight.
Even if they don’t want to live near the capitol, send them there.
I’ve been mulling over the idea that governors send any illegal “refugees” that have been resettled in their state straight to DC. They may not have the authority to deport them (I would assume that’s federal jurisdiction), but couldn’t they ‘deport’ them from their own state? I’m sure states are getting federal aid for accepting these illegals though, so it’s most likely a pipe dream…
Cities have paid homeless and provided bus tickets one way out of town to move the problem to others
So why not illegal aliens?
Corvallis and Albany Oregon are always giving homeless folks a free ride and money to go squat in somebody else’s town.
Don’t see why a Governor couldn’t as well. Make the money enough to convince them to go. it would be money well spent.
They already have a bunch of them at Ft Bliss in Texas. I just hope they remember what tyrants are.
Regardless, once they get here the dems will be paying a personal visit while the repubs sit back and say aw shucks, we don’t have a chance. Same old story.
also New York , California, and Oregon.
You forgot Martha ‘s Vineyard, Hinaus, Napa Vineyards, plus a few more.
Catastrophe.
My fear is, if an when any body bags come home the American public will never know it.
Just Jen saying we got them all out.
Mission Accomplished.
They will claim the dead were unvaxed.
It will get out.
You can’t keep that sort of toothpaste back in a tube.
Agree. Biden will put a travel ban to and from AFG as soon as troops are out but there is no way to stop all news from AFG. Some brave and real journalists will figure it out and make a name for themselves.
If not the Taliban will get the word out in gruesome pics.
It pays to advertise.
On 9/11.
I fear worse evils will befall us. How long before we are unprotected or put upon?
News filters out. It just has to get around. Surprisingly rags like the Daily Mail are doing more reporting than our MSM.
Sad thing is that the foreign media usually has information before we do.
I agree regarding American casualties, but our allies will also suffer from atrocities/slaughters, and given their anger at this administration, will not keep it under wraps.
I don’t believe their new reduced American numbers. I have nothing to base that on beyond the Biden administration’s past history of inaccuracy (lies). I have a sneaking suspicion that the storyline will be that anyone left behind will be labeled “didn’t want to come home” since the verbiage has been that they will make sure Americans who want to come home make it home. I miss DJT and his mean tweets more and more every day.
Marjorie Taylor Greene stated flatly today that there are 50,000 Americans in Afghanistan.
My guess is she is probably including Afghans who went to America, got green cards, and went back home. And evidently the number of hidden Christians is very high.
But still – the gap between her number and the Xiden regime strikes me as something that Bannon will be calling “a huge difference between the bid and the ask” any moment now…
I agree. Watch their words. It’s a tell.
We cannot believe a word of what they’re telling us.
It’s all smoke and mirrors.
What? The previous definition of insanity wasn’t good enough?
100,000 unvetted Afghan refugees from a country where 99% of the population supports sharia law (last time I checked- decidedly not feminist) with potential sleeper cell members. In the same breath, leaving behind thousands of US citizens with no safe passage back to the US and literally setting up an Iranian disaster- ala Carter. Guess I’m going to watch Argo tonight!
Afghanistan is 99% Muslim: Sunni ~87%, Shiite ~13 %.

https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/afghanistan/
That’s it in a nutshell.
I would add that 100,000 becomes 1 million in the blink of an eye as extended family are brought over and as these families typically have many children.
wait for the stabbings and the rapes to occur wherever they settle the refugees. Afghan refugees have brought horrific sex crimes and murders to Europe – now it’s our turn.
Keep track if any are coming to your area – near your home or kids’ schools. Also, warn your children and elderly parents. Both elderly men and women have been sex crime victims in Europe.
Old info.
Last time I checked, the average response time of police is about 5,10, sometimes 15 minutes depending on location.
Now in the event of an attack on my person, while I haven’t yet, I will depend on Cor-Bon 40 S&W 165 gr. JHP
At 1150fps I believe my response will be faster
Raciss!!!!
/s
Black Guns Matter.
I’m partial to the response time of a 45 ACP at 230 grains JHP myself. But whatever it takes, remember center mass.
Unless they are wearing vests.
“horrific sex crimes and murders to Europe”
Yep … the nature of Afghan refugees is well and already known
From 2017:
I’ve Worked with Refugees for Decades. Europe’s Afghan Crime Wave Is Mind-Boggling.

Review Morning Shmoe’s outraged/outrageous comment a few weeks ago. About how there are immigrants who will be pleased to serve in the military etc.
The shmucks in power aim to unleash a lot of raping predators on America, both from Central America and from Afghanistan.
(And as a brave man once said… “some of them, I’m sure, are good people”)
As a guest in WR said…
“Videos from victims phones of their rapes could be sent to their personal contact lists” that could come soon.
Not to mention the rage at how America screwed them over. I don’t think things are going to be so great.

WHO in the State Department mis-led these Californins to think this would be a good idea?
Misled? Didn’t they know where they were going? Was it a mystery destination?
Other sources says they were visiting relatives
Yes, I read that they are Afghans from California.
The only difference is the Afghan army will fight when they get here.
You mean Taliban don’t you? If memory serves right, the Afghan Army tucked tail and ran or joined the Taliban.
Liar liar pants on fire
Maybe the Taliban will reconstitute and launch terrorist attacks on the Capitol again. That might be a plus for world peace.
Where are these people supposed to go???? US expects them to find a cave to hide in?
What state has the most caves ?
They say 82,300 people have been evacuated by the US, but what I would like to know is how did 82,300 manage to get into the airport, past the Taliban? We know they lie, they know we know they lie, and yet…
Simple answer: the Taliban let through who they wanted to be flown into America.
Jackpot!
Taliban spokesperson says group is no longer allowing Afghans to leave country
Aug 25, 2021
The Taliban said Tuesday that it would no longer allow Afghans to leave the country amid U.S. military evacuations.
According to CNBC and CNN, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said during a press conference Tuesday night that the group would continue to block the road leading to the airport in Kabul, and that Afghans would not be allowed through those checkpoints.
Of couse the GOPe is silent on this. As it is on everything. We really should be showing the dirtbags what an actual revolution looks like.
I saw Kevin McCarthy today saying that the Rs in Congress needed to work on nothing else except this problem.
(Might as well since they couldn’t do any reach across the aisle to keep 3 votes from stopping the monstahtrillion bill.)
He did not, however, hint at whatever they think they can do….
I had the misfortune to walk by a TV burdened with FoxNews’ coverage, an experience further degraded by the blathering of one Nikki Haley.
Being a non-masochist, I did not stop long enough to make out specific words, but I caught enough of her tone to observe that what her feigned outrage lacked in conviction was amply compensated for by enthusiasm.
BBB, there is no GOPe. It’s UNIPARTY, UNIPARTY and UNIPARTY ad nauseam.
Sundance has shown us the intel which include hundreds of articles, interviews, data, charts, etc. for many years now.
The real kicker was when he went ” in country” and saw how F’ed up this whole gubment system operates.
I say “Let’s just get it on!” and stop pretending that ‘voting them out’ will save us.

I’ve been read/lurking here since Trump ran the first time. And I agree 100% with you. I naively thought there were good people in the government that could clean up our corruption. There weren’t.
This man made disaster is going to be around for a long time. This was not a miscalculation.
78,000++, that number is a moderate size American town…
So, any guesses on how many sleeper radicals the CIA has embedded in amongst the Afghan fighters being flown into the US?
Close to 100.
Lots.
The real question might be “How many will suddenly get religion”?
Yeah, where is barry? Has he come out of his hidey hole to try to contain his happiness?
Well that is one way to conquer the country. Just empty it out.
The world is going to really miss President Trump and Israel’s BB in a middle east minute.
Notice they got rid of them bout the same time.
Praying for a miracle that all who want to get out can. Imagine being an American stuck in Afghanistan and hearing you can still be evacuated AFTER the military pulls out on the 31st. How is that even possible as once they pull out on the 31st the airports are no longer under U.S. control.
Glenn Beck has raised 20+Million for soccer balls and teddy bears for the Afghani refugees. I kid you not. 😉
Where did you read that? He actually raised $28 million for Operation Nazarene Rescue – three flights have so far rescued 1,200 Afghan Christians vulnerable to persecution. Supposedly Zimbabwe has pledged to take many of these refugees.
Thanks Sal. Christians, at one time, could live in these countries. After we fertilized the radicals, they are being exterminated.
What carterzest? Glenn Beck didn’t raise “20+ Million for soccer balls and teddy bears.” He raised money to evacuate Christians and ethnic minorities from Afghanistan.
I cannot imagine, but unless I was in uniform, ordered to go, nothing could ever get this American to go to Afganistan.
Wait until the illegal aliens from the southern border meet the Afghan army and they team up with BLM/Antifa. Now that’s an insurrection that DHS doesn’t have on their risk assessment.
Nah, the Afghans will rape all the Mexican’s wives and daughters and the coalition will disintegrate with reprisals
BLM will just stay on the couch and smoke blunts, aside from brow-beating school boards one evening a month
Obama is definitely calling the shots.
Please read this commentary found on today’s Patriot Post.
The one definitive editorial on Biden’s Afghan bug-out you should read. People are so over this administration.
https://patriotpost.us/alexander/82240-joe-biden-is-the-red-flag-2021-08-25?mailing_id=6085&utm_medium=email&utm_source=pp.email.6085&utm_campaign=alexander&utm_content=header.default
As if any of these people need a “warning” to leave. It is absolutely despicable that those STRANDED are trying to get themselves and families to safety, with the only “help” from this administration coming in the form of PSA’s. I will continue to pray for those abandoned by our government, and hope there is meaningful justice for those who chalk up their horror to “collateral damage” for the cause. Follow the money. These potential hostages have been abandoned, and I will never be convinced
that SOMEONE isn’t cashing in.
The entire operation in Afghanistan has been nothing but about the cash.
Does anybody know if the Battleship U.S.S. Missouri is still around?
Maybe our Military could officially surrender to the Taliban there.
Afghanistan is land-locked
They’d have to convene at a Mediterranean resort town to conduct the surrender ceremonies
Maybe Cannes or Nice, they have the best hotels
… and highest per-diem rates, which would be the foremost concern of American military brass
If the first generation doesn’t shoot, stab, blow you up, behead you then their unassimilated off spring will. What a catastrophe.
Hes Back. No doubt about it.
Nice political cartoon but I picture Barack Hussein wearing a black bow tie.
My guess, they know ISIS and AQ are going to start car bombing the area to kill Westerners.
Thanks Biden voters!!!!
No, they’ve been paid off. With your tax dollars.
“Are we bringing the entire Afghan army into the United States?”
This question reminds me of what sundance has written about Tienanmen Square:
“Few people even know how most of the regular Chinese military refused orders to open fire on the protesting crowd. Hundreds of young Chinese military soldiers actually formed lines around the mostly student activists in an effort to protect them. The Chinese government eventually bypassed the regulars and instructed the Mongolian military divisions who carried out the orders.”
and
“Again, this is a problem if the government is going to weaponize the military against the citizens. Hence, they need to quantify the issue in advance.
[HISTORIC NOTE: This is not the first time the Pentagon has undertaken such an assessment. In the aftermath of the Chinese regular army refusing to turn their fire on the protesting students at Tienanmen Square (remember, the Mongolian divisions were called in); the world noticed. The U.S. Pentagon did a similar internal assessment.]”
“Are we bringing the entire Afghan army into the United States?”
Yes, as a matter of fact, we are. DO you have a problem with that? Are you RAAAACIST?
They will then be recruited into America’s Army where affirmative action will put them on the promotion fast track.
Like the current secretary of defense.
Some how I think that if they do join our current military, there will be a lot of Afghan on wokesters violence.
Isis threw gays from tall buildings. And other than their proclivity for marrying young girls and having “dancing boys” they take a dim view on other perversions.
They will be able to teach the rest of our troops how to quickly strip off their uniforms, throw down their rifles, run and blend into the American civilian population.
The Afghan Army has now eclipsed the French Army for its world record speed in surrendering.
Put has it eclipsed the Pentagon ?
There is no reason for the U.S. to be evacuating anyone other than U.S. citizens and those we employed who are enduring threats to life. Those persons number far fewer than 82,300.
And somehow we have erased thousands of Americans who were reported to be in Afghanistan.
You don’t exist anymore, so we can look like we had a successful evacuation.
Seriously, the number started out in excess of 10,000 and kept climbing. Even saw 20,000 mentioned.
Americans who have made it to these airport gates are not being let in???
“U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately.”
No way. What commander could abide such an order?
While the French and the Brits go out to retrieve their people we won’t even open the door for ours?
Even after previously announcing that they have to get themselves to the airport?
Are all of our brass pink pantied General Millies?
Why yes, yes they are. and they have to buy their panties in the jumbo department.
Just as long as they aren’t stranded…
Obviously CNN sucks but when that one female reporter was ordered out all truth and accountability went with her.
The Government can say anything about what is going on at the airport.
Welcome baskets being prepared by Catholic Charities. Keep donating.
You forgot the s/
And liberal Lutherans as back up.
Drop them on Martha’s Vineyard, The Hamptons, DC, Scranton and San Francisco!
Whoooaa, Scranton?
…are we bringing the entire Afghan army?
No, probably a chunk of the Taliban or sympathizers
Afgan army will be used as mercenaries to enforce covid lockdowns and vaccine passports.
I just wonder how many Taliban fighters these morons have flown into the USA for free?
Soooo, let’s say that the 82,300 and 4,500 numbers are accurate, doubtful. Just around 5% of those evacuated by our military, paid for by our tax dollars, are our fellow Americans. Words fail and my reservoir of adjectives is empty.
In answer to your question, SD, “Are we bringing the entire Afghan army into the United States?”, my guess is yes. The agencies have been ferrying in from other countries on chartered flights young military age men ever since Biden was installed in DC.
I think they are creating their own standing army to fight against US citizens since they can’t purge the military of people who swore an oath to protect the Constitution fast enough. The people in charge of the federal government hate us and they are evil.
Well, of course! The biden regime had to focus evacuation efforts on bringing terrorists here. Rescued Americans just don’t fit into their plans for never before seen chaos in the US.
I believe it’s going to get really bad here in a very short time. Thousands of possible terrorists brought here intentionally, thousands of terrorists coming across our southern border, and illegals from Central and South America coming in infected with God knows what and spreading those diseases all over the country.
Be prepared . . . for anything.
Sundance one of your posted in titles says it all. BIG STUPID GOVERNMENT
Merciful God – please protect those in harm’s way.
The Taliban and the Biden administration should be tried for crimes against humanity.
Our Dem & GOP Congressmen who recently visited Kabul Airport said we couldn’t evacuate everyone … by Sept 11th.
Military Contractors? NGOs? Religious groups?
Purposefully understanding who’s there. CYA.
Something is wrong with this story, there is another con going on here, this is too quick and Biden would not leave this many Americans behind so blatantly.
My question is, what were all of these Americans doing in Afghanistan? Are these American citizens of Afghani descent visiting relatives? Makes no sense. I caught part of the Bucks and Clay show that replaced Rush in some places and they were talking about some people who were on vacation somewhere in the area and decided to check out Afghanistan. Are you kidding me? You take your chances in “vacationing” in Afghanistan.
No, just the poor SOB’s who sided with us during the 20 years of this sorry war.
Besides, they’re the type of real refugees our Amnesty laws were actually designed to help, like those who made it out from behind the Iron Curtain, Cuba and Vietnam.
