A Pentagon briefing with Spokesperson John Kirby and General McKenzie took place earlier. The latest update on the suicide bombers around the Kabul International Airport shows that 12 U.S. Military service members have been killed and 15 wounded. Press Briefing below:
There are no words….beyond cold anger.
Who could have known? It was completely unpredictable! Mistakes were made by somebody — about something! /sarc
Folks need to curtail the cold / hot anger. Anger isn’t going to fix the installed administration, nor the steal nor 3.5 Trillion Congress is doling out to their campaign contributors and Dem control states. No peaceful veteran marches either.
This government has nulled our voices, installed a fence with barbed wire around our house guarded by soldiers and colluded with private companies to squash any opposition against it.
This government wants war with us. No amount of peaceful negotiation will return our liberties.
In other words, America can’t comply its way out of tyranny
Agreed, way beyond cold anger…more like surface of sun anger.
I know exactly what you mean.
The anger and disgust is real—and then it enters another level when I realize this is purposefully done….as well as all the other crap of the past several months.
My anger is burning a hole through my gut.
You can bet the Bid3n admin will be looking to deflect blame and not protect Americans.
Watch JoeBama blame President Trump…
And I’m sure Liz Cheney will also blame President Trump.
Lizzie will say whatever Raytheon tells her to say
She is a chip of Schiff, ain’t she?
“deflect blame”
“Not my fault, I was in the basement having an ice cream”
He/they already have denied any responsibility whatsoever. It’s on video from a few days ago.
Gen McKenzie is a disgrace, the taliban is our partners after they allowed thru multiple checkpoints the bombers. These terrorist have our soldiers lives in their hands. ARE YOU CRAZY!!!
That’s what they said about 0bama…
I have to hand it to the TolleyBon … they found proxies to do their dirty work … so they can tell the world … it wasn’t us. We are doing our level best to control our checkpoints … we have BEEN controlling the Airport border BETTER than Byedin-Heiress is controlling the Southern US border.
Yeah, after accusing Pres. Trump of negotiating with the enemy……….Projection.
Anyone associated with the so called Biden administration has blood drenched hands.
Along with every single moron who voted for the usurper.
AND every single member of the GOP-e who not only allowed the election to be stolen but refused to even discuss the possibility…you ALL have the blood of these American service members on your hands!
Mike Pence – may you never find a moment of peace for the rest of your life!
amen one thousand times over.
Perfectly put vikingmom. Disaster upon disaster all because of a stolen election and pansy-a$$ GOPe.
The GOPe have sold out our country … so they can keep on selling out our country
All 200,000 of them.
You’re being generous.
What are you talking about? This is the ONLY kind of collateral damage the Democrat Party approves of …
And now … we must try to understand the “brown rage”. It must have been triggered by all the “white US rage” …
503 msg earlier – glad to see CTH back up!
Same here.
Scary feeling, wasn’t it?
That may indeed come in the not-so-near future. CTH barely dodged being de-platformed permanently in the recent past, at great expense to CTH. Many other alternative news sites faced the same issue.
One thing I observed about the winter weather debacle in Texas last winter was that cell phone towers went down due to lack of power. The excuse was that since the power grid was down, the cell towers could not keep the equipment warm due to loss of electricity and/or when the backup generators went down after using all fuel.
That made me think about the fragility of the mostly non-hardened power grid and what the possible ramifications would be if during a power-down crisis (whether natural or man-incurred); communications would soon be down.
Many preppers are buying satellite phones, which may be a good idea. However, if telecommunication are down (including cable-internet); there will only be a few people communicating with each other.
Perhaps that’s a bit too Mad-Max for you to swallow, but at this juncture: I would not put it past the current powers that be, to pull the plug after a major event….for our own safety, of course.
That is a Good reminder to kick in another hefty donation to help Sundance and his CTH Team maintain this blog’s presence on a very dangerous and hostile internet..
I just did.
Everyone who is able, please follow suit….!

This was all preventable and all the communist in the WH knew it.
Milley
Austin
Osama
And any others in the DOD and intelligence or the military who sat and allowed this to happen should be on the next flight to Cuba
The level of incompetence demonstrated by Alzheimer Joe and his diversity hire military leader are astounding. You own this clusterf*ck, Libs.
and Joe Biden should immediately resign in disgrace over this.
And take Heels up with you
and still no word from the coward in chief
Thank you Mr President..this is just so sad. Prayers for this sombering day. I was always taught to never hate…I hate these people and this incompetence and intentional administration… may the wrath of guilt suffer them.
I lost CTH for a while. Glad you’re back up!
Me too. My immediate thought was sabotage by our intelligence agencies. CTH spreading too much truth and they can’t handle the truth.
Yeah, me too. I suspected that from time to time they just have to close the doors a while to sweep out the place.
Dittos!
Insanity.
What is the agenda?
Steve Bannon I believe, hit the nail (amongst other things) regarding the Taliban telling the Globalists to pound sand. We all know there is never a “Nice” Terrorist… I mean, hell, look at our own Government.
So I ask, What’s the Agenda, why now?
Trillions.
All that graft money. All those poppy fields. Can’t let go of the forever war.
The agenda? Giving away our national security, of course. Why else would they have evaculated US military first – the ones who know how to use the weapons we left behind?
What do you mean? There were SEVERAL Nice Terrorist States in the ME. SHE said so! SHE gave them the Arab Spring SHE wanted to empower Islamic Terrorists … so they would thank HER for being so “nice” to them.
This is the “intelligentsia’s” world view. You know, that “sophisticated” “urban” crew who partied wit Obama! They believe if the USA is just “nice” to every nation on the planet, regardless of their primitive cultures, then everyone will love us and be peaceful. These people are the most self deluded pseudo intellectuals ever to walk the planet.
The people running our country are dangerously dull witted. They believe “the world” is just like their Trust Fund lifestyles.
Dangerous Idiots.
Get ready for it! The Taliban are our allies! Super-duper buds, you bet! There is no way in hell that the Taliban had anything to do with what happened today and likely will continue to happen today. Not even a smidgeon (according to Obama). Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Gar nichts. It’s all on ISIS-K. Got that? The two groups are “sworn enemies,” you understand. That’s the official line on CNN and MSNBC; and, you can bet money on it, Chris “Hee Haw” Wallace will join in braying the identical message at Fox, too.
In fact, come to think of it, appearances and facts to the contrary, the Taliban have always been “our Afghan allies on the ground,” which are the very words Gen. McKenzie used only minutes ago at his DoD briefing to describe them and their cooperation in securing the airport. How, the argument goes, can we believe otherwise when it’s perfectly clear that the Taliban want the US gone ASAP, more than humiliating the US till the last possible moment, even? Because they know the hellfire awaiting them should their allies, the United States of America’s armed forces, incur casualties during the evacuation. Joe Biden will see to it, they know perfectly well, so there! If there’s anything the Taliban fear more than Joe Biden unleashed, I don’t know what it could possibly be. Do you? An ice-cream headache, maybe.
No, those clever devils in ISIS-K just snuck three suicide bombers by the Taliban despite their level-best effort to protect Americans whom, we all know, they love love love.
ISIS is to the Taliban as Antifa is to the democratic party and Brown shirts were to Hitler
^^^ Nailed it. ^^^
Gosh, it’s almost like there’s a pattern or something. /S
If only we Americans were taught actual history.
Everything the Dems do is right out of the Third Reich playlist (including the finger pointing and false accusations). Indeed the Nazis took lessons from the old Dems, so I suppose it’s the other way around.
the Nazis learned genocide from Margaret Sanger and other famous eugenists in the early 20th century America
Either that or they want to continue the Endless War.
I am literally sick here. The US government gave our Intel to the taliban…..and proudly stated it in a press conference.
WTF
“Our Taliban partners” who just got 12 U.S. military killed and 15 more injured and we’re still working with them? Is this for real? And no real information about our women and men killed. We’re just going back to plan A and trusting the Taliban.
I can’t listen to this putz general try to tell us how great the evacuation has been. Again, they are flying people out of an airport at a rate that is a tiny fraction of the volume that any average sized airport flies out everyday.
Also, remember that many in that tally touted by the State Dept and the WH are private organizations who flew people out.
Biden will “address” the nation at 5 pm ET today. The only message I want to hear from this POS is “I resign.”
I agree, but it will never happen. He will blame Trump within the first two or three minutes, then walk off. If he does walk off, I believe the media will turn on him and he will be forced in the coming days to resign.
Xiden probably tell everyone to get vaccinated and walk out.
And wear your mask
Yeah, he can leave the mess to the Kamel Toe Hoe to clean up!
He will not be removed until they find a way to get rid of Harris first. The DS underestimated the unified hate of Harris. So they may to place a new VP in position first. Her trip to Nam right now seems strange.
He won’t be addressing me. I would probably shoot my computer if he were on.
At least some are USMC
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/large-explosion-outside-kabul-airport/
he sent our finest over there to be blown to bits.
Thanks to asshat Biden…. that’s what’s coming here. I’m waiting for the day they are all dragged out in handcuffs… no punishment is too unsavory.
Who exactly is going to drag them off in handcuffs?
who cares… anyone … A REAL AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pseudo Biden administration’s handling of Afghanistan is as indefensible as it is reprehensible. Election fraud has consequences and must be immediately remedied!
Bulldoze every single mosque in the U.S. Deport all followers of islam from here. Islam is not a religion. Manufacture new stockpiles of nerve agents. Any of our trading partners that do business with Islamic theocracies gets black-listed.
Don’t blame the Muslims on this one. We murdered them by the bushel for the past 20 years and they are getting payback.
Who is at fault here? The Democrats. The Republicans. The “media”. Big Tech. Wall Street. CIA. FBI.
All of our institutions are corrupt.
Reprobates. All of them.
Neither I nor my family deserve their “payback.” Nope. Maybe you don’t mind yours getting blown up, but I do. They should not be in the USA at all. The Founders were correct to forbid Mohammedans from entry to the USA. Absolutely correct.
The Americans who deserve payback for what they have wrought serve only themselves and have rendered every American institution corrupt and evil. Average America did not do any of this.
Yep, the “ true Christian “ Pence was one of those most to blame.
The devil himself PDJT/sarc was going to unleash hell on earth…???
Pence rhymes with Stench.
He knew!!
I can tell you this…several in our family. None are Americans are utterly disgusted with the Dems and Republicans, and are spitting mad.
Please Americans rise up if you can.
Our PM was in town yesterday, and was booed and heckled incessantly.
It’s time to start getting in all of these politicians faces.
So much tragedy and for what..
God bless all who are suffering.
Islam is a political system that the Taliban uses to great effect to terrorize those under their control.
Islam is not a religion of peace. They are inbred retards that attempt to attack vastly superior civilizations with sneak attacks and lies about victimhood.
The gloves will come off and their adherents and those attempting to justify their evil will be swept into the dustbin of history.
If you are white, then you are truly a traitor to your race.
Yup, every last one of them CORRUPT!!!
I don’t really think we have a govt–just an organized crime outfit masquerading as a govt.
All of our institutions aren’t merely corrupt, they’re evil.
well to be fair Islam is inimical to ALL other cultures around the world…if you look at the wars Muslims are engaged in it is ANYONE who isn’t ruled by them or subservient to them
Are we still trying to get credit for the greatest airlift since Berlin? Or is that narrative over?
Raggedy Ann said in “history”…their one week airlift supersedes the over year-long Berlin airlift
Although incompetence is abundant, these soldiers were setup by their military commanders. That is sinister.
Where are the military resignations??????? Anyone wearing the uniform who could have stopped this–you know who are–but didn’t because you think your pension and “honor” are more important than the troops you SWORE to protect. YOU ARE COWARDS and will be remembered as such by all Americans from this day forward. Rot in hell…..
I changed my comment because betrayal and abandonement of Americans and our allies is one of the most despicable acts that our politicians have ever done. As I think about it, the angrier I get. Families have been destroyed because these incompetent traitors, criminals, and their allies in the mainstream media. My aunt always used to say that I should not say I hate anyone because it is such a strong word. I hate these progressive politicians, bureaucrats, and media.
PBR Streetgang, do you copy? PBR Streetgang, this is Almighty.
This is the end. Beautiful friend, the end.
Dazed and confused, that’s what everyone is right now, dazed and confused.
The Military industrial complex refused to pull out and when it finally happens, people will start calling to “Go Back In” and save the American civilians. MIC wins again. This is absolutely disgusting, and I believe planned from the get go, why else cancel what President Trump already had in place.
I am sad…so avoidable…so much incompetence…so little accountability…
I am not yet angry…that will come…
Is it incompetence?
Or is it deliberate?
I think it’s both. One feeds the other.
Not mutually exclusive. I’d say it’s both. A lot of us have ideas about who is really calling the shots (ie, Obama, Rice, etc) and I’m confident they have been involved from the moment Biden was sworn in. But I also think that things are not as organized as one might believe and it’s a combo platter of people behind the scenes pulling the strings but without any real, consistent organized leadership.
I think we passed the transformation of America a ways back during this free fall and are headed for a kind of Dark Ages that I dare not even contemplate.
I KNOW it’s not Ozero…definitely not Rice as she is a follower…VJ is likely passing the orders through from the REAL puppetmasters
Deliberate incompetence, maybe?
I think it’s deliberate-not sure what the agenda is, but our govt is NOT stupid, they just pretend incompetence as cover.
worth reading Darren Beattie’s twitter- he seems to call out their lies and BS:
@DarrenJBeattie19m
“It’s amazing how low-effort their bullshit is Intel community behaves as though there’s no limit to the gullibility of the American public Are they right?”
“Here we go again… X bears all the “all the hallmarks of” Y is spook speak for “X has nothing to do with Y but we’re gonna shove this shit down your throat anyway for our own agenda”
“Biden’s incompetence and deep state ruthlessness…they’d do anything to prevent withdrawal”
“ISIS=Proxy forces for the United States national security establishment”
The US national security state spent trillions and decades arming and training Afghan army, only to have it fold Compare this to ISIS which reliably does the American Security State’s bidding at the drop of a hat”
And don’t forget what Lara Logan said about how the US knew the Talibans supplies came from Pakistan, so they could have bombed the supply lines, but didn’t. And she said that Pakistan supports the Taliban, and the US pays for the budget of the Pakistani military and ISI (so kind of looks like US supports Taliban via Pakistani middle man).
Are we paying for all sides of the war just to keep endless wars going?
Biden is the incompetent figurehead they installed to keep us from seeing that it is all deliberate.
Random 500 pounders dropped in Kabul from 40,000 feet. Careless and incompetent wins.
They’ll never see this coming and will be powerless to stop it.
Sounds like a typical weekend in Chicago USA. The JoeBama administration has blood on their hands. Zero accountability in government. Heads should roll.
Expect Biden to issue a new vaccine mandate and mask requirements, after he wakes up from his nap and has an ice cream cone. My anger level is reaching nuclear hull breach threshold.
A third bombing at the Kabul Airport has just been reported. More killed as the news is starting to pour in.
To my fallen brothers, I salute you. And will keep you and your families in my prayers.
Thank you Covertly for a beautiful comment… I stand with you in prayer for my fellow Americans.
Joe the Warrior in his famous skirmish with Corn Pop was not preparing for this.
Wait for it. It may take a couple weeks, or it may come as early as next week, but you can hear it coming like a thunderstorm. Watch for the taliban to “demand” that evacuated Afghans be repatriated, returned to Afghanistan, in exchange for the American citizens we are abandoning to their fate. The Americans we leave behind will be used as hostages to get the Afghans back. And the Biden State Department will make the trade.
That works for me!
Deal.
The Taliban is going to want more money for the hostages, taken from the plan book of Iran. They already have billions of dollars in military equipment. They are going to get richer, because this administration will send them money and it will delivered on the tarmac in the middle of the night.
I think it more likely that they will keep the Americans for propaganda purposes. If ISIS has anything to. do with it, it will include videos of Americans being beheaded.
That is why there must be an immediate military response.
Knowing the Biden administration it will consist of weak and unenforceable “diplomatic sanctions”.
An earthquake registering 10.5 on the Richter Scale has taken place with the epicenter identified as Arlington National Cemetery resulting from countless fallen heroes spinning in their graves.
Time to rain hell fire down on these terrorists!!
One MOAB for each service member killed today…. Bombs away!!!
Tears Of Rage, Tears Of Grief , an old song co-written by Dylan and Richard Manuel, somehow it fits. And Life Is Brief.
Our Nation has been betrayed by the very people that have sworn an oath to protect it.
I don’t think any one of them “swore an oath”.
What they did was say the words that needed to be said for them to take a place of power.
Swearing an oath requires an internal fortitude, a moral base, that swears that oath without reservation or purpose of evasion.
That is not what they did.
You’re saying that these elected officials and in some cases appointed judges committed treason from day 1.
Their treasonous actions require that they face justice by immediate removal from office, trial by a military tribunal and review of any misconduct while in office that would require rectification.
well no matter what you want to call it, they DID swear an OATH even if it was done FALSELY on their side
Bannon will be on for two hours starting at 5:00 Eastern.
Will they bring the bodies of the 11 Marines and the 1 Navy corpsmen back to America?
It seems this outfit does not believe in “no one left behind”.
Pentagon expects more attacks from ISIS. And our military leaders are working with and counting on the Taliban for protection!!! WTF x infinity!!!!!!!!
https://therightscoop.com/breaking-pentagon-expects-attacks-at-kabul-airport-to-continue-says-12-service-members-killed-and-15-injured/
A truly tragic day. I’m sick in my heart about it.
Biteme will announce while his his ice cream is melting that he is negotiating with the tolly bun to allow him to send in his crack Bubba Wallace noose garage door pulldown FBI team to investigate this crime and arrest those responsible.
As a former Marine I’ll bet the leather necks are seething with fury.We better get some payback…and fast
As I understand it from my oldest son, there are no “former Marines”. Once a Marine, always a Marine.
I have no doubt the leather necks are seething. And those still on the ground there are trying to just cut loose on everyone around them….perhaps beginning with the upline officers, if they could get to them?? I don’t know. But I can’t imagine the fury they are experiencing and the self control they must employ in order to get out of there alive, themselves, and bring the bodies of their dead comrades with them.
O’biden had better NOT go to Dover. If he does, I hope the honor guard turns their backs on him. Seriously.
….those on the ground are trying NOT to just cut loose on everyone around them….
USN here and served with many Marines…Marines are a different breed that is for sure…not sure if they are born or molded that way but ONCE a Marine ALWAYS a Marine
McKenzie’s prepared remarks have a disconnected tone to me. He sounded like the mission has been successful.
And I thought the Taliban are our enemies, not partners in the evacuation.
Our enemy – especially our brave soldiers in Kabul – IS FROM WITHIN and compounded by the “politically correct”, corrupt CRT-loving military brass…..THEY SOLD OUT AMERICAN AND SOLDIERS in Afghanistan.
I am so…..sorry for those who has had to go through this horror. My heart aches for you.
Junta Joe and his Generals all hiding.

THE OFFICE OF DONALD J. TRUMP
AUGUST 26, 2021
BEDMINSTER, NJ
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
Melania and I send our deepest condolences to the families of our brilliant and brave Service Members whose duty to the U.S.A. meant so much to them. Our thoughts are also with the families of the innocent civilians who died today in the savage Kabul attack.
This tragedy should never have been allowed to happen, which makes our grief even deeper and more difficult to understand.
May God Bless the U.S.A.

Could they really have been this STUPID?
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/26/us-officials-provided-taliban-with-names-of-americans-afghan-allies-to-evacuate-506957
Every former General who proudly supported the incompetent and/or complicit criminal in the WH should NEVER, EVER again be accepted into civil society. They should be held in the utmost contempt, and their names should be forever attached to this preventable tragedy.
Biden said, “We planned for every contingency …”. Did they plan for a terrorist attack like this? If they had, then I think they would have built plenty of medical care facilities at the airport, with the ability to care for the victims of such an attack.
At least 30 of the wounded had to go to a hospital, and they’ll probably be stuck in the hospital past the Aug. 31 deadline. I wish the wounded could be cared for on the airport grounds.
It’s easier to evacuate them from the airport grounds, than from a hospital. If Biden’s people had built medical facilities at the airport, then the wounded could be cared for there, at the airport. Then a medivac plane might have flown to the airport, to evacuate the wounded.
I’m not a doctor or a nurse, so I might be mistaken, but that’s how I see it.
So, in essence, we gave the Taliban a kill list.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-biden-admin-gave-taliban-list-of-american-citizens-green-card-holders-and-afghan-allies-that-needed-to-get-into-airport-report
Not only that, they shared their concerns about specific methods of terrorist attack on the airport with the Taliban.
U.S. Officials: “We are worried about a car bomb attack on the airport.”
Taliban: “Gee thanks, we hadn’t thought about that one.”
