We can rest assured that it will all be President Trump’s fault. That’s how conmunist demoncrats roll.
Like a bunch of three year olds, it always: “Somebody else did it.”
Biden claims “he inherited the problem..well, he inherited Keystone Pipeline..Biden eliminated it on day one.
Biden inherited an “under construction” southern Border Wall…Biden canceled it..
And I am using that. Let’s not forget the Trump admin had a plan in place to leave by May. This clown admin scrapped it so they could have photo ops on 9/11.
Yes… Does anyone really cares what blinken says???
Sickened by the photos of the American Service dogs, trapped in their travel carriers and left behind.
They wouldn’t have taken much room. Their handler could have sat on their cage or sat the cage on his lap. And they had plenty of mostly empty flights going out.
Mohammad hated dogs and you can bet the Taliban do to.
“I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you refused to help me.” (Matthew 25:45 TEV)
WHAT!?
Sorry bastards….
They’re not sorry. Thats the big problem.
OH NO! Just when I thought I couldnt be more heartsick. Not the doggos too?
BASTARDS!!!!!!!!EFFIN BASTARDS!!!!!!
????????
Department of Defense orderd them to be released on the tarmac. So the Taliban can cut their noses off then torture them.
Along with the American Women left behind by Biden
I want one of those!!!!!
Me too!
And they made a fuss about Mitt’s dog?!
My neighbor recently got a new dog. Her name is Lucy.
His previous dog, Simon, died about a year ago.
Lucy and Simon have something in common: both of them had horrible mistreatment for years before he got them. He has a heart for giving a home to dogs that are frightened of everything, have been mistreated, and don’t know how to have fun. He loves them. Gives them safety. Cares for them very, very well.
I just met Lucy officially about a week ago. A beautiful dog,with curly ears and curly tail. Don’t know how else to describe her. The color of of Golden Retriever. Very shy. Sniffed noses with my yellow lab at the fence a couple of times. Curious to want to know him a bit. But very, very timid and skittish.
When I met her (officially) I learned her story.
Lucy came from China with 99 other dogs from the same situation.
Lucy, a beautiful Golden Retriever by breed, had spent the first three years of her life in a cage that was so small she could not ever stand up completely, and as a result, her growth was stunted and distorted. Now she is safe. She’s beautiful. My lab has a crush on her, and he will just have to be patient and worship from a distance. Lucy is very sweet. Very fragile. And well loved by her new owner.
Some people are ok with cruelty to dogs, month after month and year after year. This is who they are. I agree with it being sort of a final breaking point, “Not the dogs, too!!”
Utterly despicable.
I know a sad story like this doesn’t change anything. But there are dogs that are loved and cared for. And for the moment, I’m just gonna hang on to that.
American Dogs before any foreigners. NOT NEGOTIABLE.
Yes. Unfortunately, it was not only negotiable for the rats in charge. It was an easy give away.
It may take years before we see and hear the stories of those good service men and women who were on the ground as all these things were happening, horrified, arguing, looking at their superiors, and saying/yelling/crying – “NO! NO!” NO! You can’t…..”
I pray we hear from them at some point, although at this point we have to assume they will threatened into open-ended nondisclosure agreements .
American Women before any foreigners
Muslim media was scornfully mocking us for saving the dogs we did save, demanding we take their their jihadi breeders instead.
If you take in a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you.
This is the chief difference between a dog and a man.
Or a modern teenager
Thank you for that.
We have a rescue dog, as do our two sons.
The older son and his wife received theirs from a Manitoba Indian Reserve a few months back.
Her name was and remains LUCY!
Only at TCTH
NO!!!! God help us. They left our dogs too
My heart weeps for Americans and man’s best friends left behind. Don’t mention your dead son again, sociopath.
My dog, my best friend, my soul-mate dog in all my years on this rock, was killed in front of my face a few weeks ago by a gator. I have wept like never before. I have lost a lot in this life and nothing comes close; I will never be the same. Ever.
To see God’s chosen animal friend for all mankind to be so utterly and callously treated, when all they do is give and give and give, makes my blood boil over. Along with a waterfall of tears. I pray as many that can be saved are. The whole situation is just a nightmare. We are living in hell and watching demons run amuck. God help us.
So sorry for your lost. Jack Rudloe wrote about his horrific experience trying to save his dog from a gator. I hope his experience, the fact that you are not alone in having such a tragedy brings you some comfort. https://gulfspecimen.org/wp-content/themes/gulfspecimens/media/articles/1-AUDUBON-master-of-my-lake-01.pdf

His voice has the same singsong insincerity in it that Obama’s and Wray’s do. Sort of like how some people do when they are not the best readers. It’s just an exercise in pronouncing what’s on the screen without thinking much about meaning.
The Face of Failure right there
The method of forces withdrawal was assigned as a “diplomatic” mission rather than a military mission at that meeting where it was decided to abandon Bagram Air Base
I’m sure Blinken and his Dept of State flunkies lobbied hard for that decision and described sweet fantasies to Biden, who bought it
Understandable on one level – the embassy was their precious interest.
And – oh! the appearances – if the US were not able to retain an embassy in what was perennially described as a pacified country, which it was not
I fault US Military Command for caving to the decision to abandon Bagram
It was an absolute military blunder to abandon a defensible military base with baracks, mess halls, intelligence and tracking electronics, air fields, fighter planes, Blackhawks, and wide view planes to perimeter fences.
From which you could fly offensive sorties and conduct a withdrawal under adequate FORCE PROTECTION
All to maintain an embassy and civilian airport in the city with no defensible perimeters
Diplomatic functions could have been MOVED to Bagram
But – oops – there are those unseemly appearances again
The decision was entirely political, not a shred of military tactics in sight
Not s blunder. Planned
Same consequences
Not “failed leadership”–it was planned. They are murderers!
“Biden spoke with our G7 counterparts” ya, for a whole 7 minutes. This guy is a POS
As I recall, this dope used to work for Susan Rice during the last BO regime.
Read it and weep.
it’s blinken bio
https://www.wikii.org/en/wiki/politician/antony-blinken-99684
Thanks Sundance but I could not even listen to more than 1.5 minutes of it.
I didn’t attempt it.
Sorry, I can’t resist:
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe,—
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew.
“Where are you going, and what do you wish?”
The old moon asked the three.
“We have come to fish for the herring-fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we,”
Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
Oh, how I wish Blynken, his cronies and the entire Biden administration would sail off into a sea of……
Icebergs!
This explains why “they” had to get rid of President Trump – he was going around the world spreading the seeds of peace through such wonderful things as the Abraham Accords and the agreement between Serbia and Kosovo while
Team Swamp is now openly arming the Muslim Brotherhood with the latest military arsenal one could hope for, for free.
The contrast between good and darkness has never been in sharper focus than it is today.
That is the truth. Not only seeding peace, but realigning relationships to strengthen allies and weaken the foes for national interests not globalist interests. Trump had to be stopped.
Your list left off the 26 tac nuks.
Where can we find credible information about those?
I don’t know, but I’m staying away from big cites just in case.
And pallets of cash.
You mean “Thanks OBAMA”! Never forget WHO is behind ALL this!!! Obama is hiding behind a frail, dementia-ridden, POS Biden.
Well Stated , Bessie ⬆️and OldSchool ⬇️ !
Dig in, this is going to be a long war.
Better hunker down an get ready for a civil war its coming to a neighborhood near you.
Let’s get it on! Been ready!
Gallows on the Mall.
“We have commitments from the Taliban that no other terrorists will be able to enter Afghanistan, including Isis k and al qaeda”.Wasn’t that Trumps thing? And didn’t that deal get broken with the suicide bomb?
One, he is lying and hoping. Two, Taliban ARE the terrorists. Three, Sullivan and the entire Biden regime are either ignorant or following a plan.
Saying the Taliban will keep terrorists out of AFG shows exactly how stupid this regime is, especially since Taliban let ISIS out of prison. Give terrorists a country and expect them to cow tow to U.S diplomacy after we have been killing them for 20 years? Give me an effin’ break! No way Jose.
That this regime can think they can negotiate in good faith with terrorists, although expected, is insanity and the reason for impeaching Biden and his regime. Full Stop. Let youR Congressmen know the stupidity, no matter that most will ignore it. Put your voice out there.
“We evacuated 126,000 civilians from Afghanistan, including 6,000 Americans.” Only “200 maybe closer to 100 Americans remain.” If they want to leave they can show the Taliban their papers and “we have a commitment from the Taliban they can leave whenever they want for whatever reason.”
Prove your numbers do not be-leave you Fake news
We all know any Taliban commitment is worth about 2 cents less than 2 cents.
Are they aware we speak their language?
They’re just changing cost center lines on the ledger. Nothing else has changed.
So now charter airlines will fly to Afghanistan to bring them home. So…does it look something like this Secretary Blinken?
Hunter Airlines flys in pallets of cash and leaves with passengers. Hunter is paid handsomely and brings back the Big Guys cut.
Vanity unleashed – patting himself and his fellow diplomats on the back for the great job they did with the evacuation. Implies that the 100-200? American citizens left in Afghanistan may be unsure about whether they really want to leave or stay. Yeah, right. His vanity does not permit him to admit that he was one of the ringleaders of a giant fiasco.
He knows what he did. He hope to fool the rest of us
“I don’t need a single dollar. I just need every single person that’s willing to go back outside the wire every single day to wear a blue-collar and just go into work every single day and feed their families. Those are the people that I need,” Scheller said. “Follow me and we will bring the whole f—ing system down. I am honorable and you can ask any Marine who served with me for 17 years. I dare you to ask them all and find out what I’m made of. We’re just getting started.” Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller
I will go just say when
The Dept of Defense released military service dogs onto the streets. No doubt readers here know about Islam and dogs. I will say no more.
https://therightscoop.com/report-defense-dept-released-service-dogs-into-the-streets-of-kabul-to-fend-for-themselves/
They are not even loyal to their own service dogs.
How loyal can they be to Americans?
But UNVETTED EFFING AFGHANS got flown out first didnt they. SPITTING MAD
One group involved with dogs that become service animals for veterans indicates it costs over $50,000 to train one dog. But by them all means, don’t make provisions ahead of time and transport them over to where they will be needed – – along with the military equipment etc.
“Central Command Commander Gen. McKenzie says that the Taliban “have been very pragmatic and very business-like as we have approached this withdrawal””
Just try to imagine this –
Supreme Allied Commander, General Dwight Eisenhower says that the Nazis “have been very pragmatic and very business-like as we have approached this withdrawal””
Can’t do it, can you. No one can.
As they are all on the Communist Chinese/People’s Liberation Army payroll nothing anyone in the Deep State or Uniparty does or will do surprises me whatsoever.
Remember ALL their names when the shooting starts
I missed the press conference. Did the entire Biden administration resign?
No justice, no peace.
notice all the praise and admiration for”the diplomats” with a small hat tip to the military?
The CCP owns Biden, and the CCP has always wanted the USA out of Asia (See Korea and Vietnam, and now Afghanistan). So Biden and McConnell had to obey their paymasters in Beijing and the multinational corporations associated, or else the CCP would exercise their blackmail power on both.
Meanwhile, the neocon globalists want war perpetually and would stay in Afghanistan forever. But because Biden is a late stage dementia patient, an organized withdrawal from Afghanistan was impossible. It was going to be a disaster from the gitgo. .
But both of the above groups, the neocon globalists and the CCP employees, were on board with the Afghanistan occupation and nation building exercise when it started 20 years ago. But what also happened 20 years ago is that the CCP was elevated to full status in the WTO and achieved MFN status. So now, 20 years later, now that the CCP is running a $600B/year trade surplus with the US and is buying off so many political grifters like Biden and McConnell, and can blackmail them so easily… a schism has formed in the Deep State that runs this country.
Only Trump could have both hacked away at the $600B/year trade deficit the US runs with the CCP, while simultaneously and successfully withdrawing from Afghanistan. And he would have forced the CCP to make compromises on trade, in order to achieve their longterm geostrategic goal of a US withdrawal from Afghanistan. It would have been a win-win for the US. MAGA, baby.
With Biden and McConnell, disaster for this country is the only possible outcome, in all things ultimately. A disastrous and bloody pullout AND economic devastation.
We are in for a bad time with these miserable wretches running the country.
How dare this disgusting piece of excrement call those fallen service members his brothers and sisters. This person typifies what is wrong with our government today. It’s not my fault, I can’t be blamed, it wasn’t my responsibility after all….Jesus, Ayn Rand is rolling around in her grave. She predicted the exact behavior of these leeches in 1954. It’s like they used Atlas Shrugged as a model for core operational guidelines and values. I could not be more disappointed, more disgusted or more ashamed in and of my government and the condition that we the people have allowed America to sink into…….
Counterproductive.
They will get filthy rich by signing book deals, and will get high paying jobs working for the swamp behind the scenes.
Plus, who will replace them, I guarantee you Milley and Austin 2.0 even more woke.
Jail yes, resigning… just for show and nothing more.
Why don’t those SAME 90 call for Biden’s Impeachment???
Yeah, the outrage is so polite and careful. Nothing like we saw against Trump.
That tells me, there’s no real outrage or opposition to the current woke leaders.
Until I see FBI busting their doors are 4am and terrify their families, arrest them and destroy their lives… I see it as fake outrage just for show. Like our Huber, Barr, Durham, all meant to make us believe something was being done and run the clock.
They should be in jail.
Awaiting their date with a rope.
Karma in this entire fubar process of exiting Afghanistan will certainly be more than a b…tch.
The war isn’t over. We ran.
The war has been going on for 1400 years and counting.
If only the entire world would understand that.
Sending up prayers for all those Americans left behind, for our military who are likely enduring unthinkable mental torment for this all unfolded, for all families who lost their loved ones in this s-hole country, and for all Americans who are suffering under the unbearable weight of evil that is crushing our nation, with much more to come.
These are dark dark days.
Amen
Every American That is can needs to stand up now a say hell no. I WILL NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!
In Jesus name. Amen
Anyone currently in the US Military is now in a state of disgrace.
They may not be a disgrace themselves, but they are employed by an organization that is.
Similar to the FBI and its employees.
biden adminstration = evil incarnate
I sure feel better, I mean what could go wrong?
Got to love Democrat woke math…a few days ago the State Department said there were 10,000+ US Citizens in Afghanistan. The reports from the State Department gave the impression 10,000 was a low end number and that they did not really know how many were in Afghanistan.
Reports say only 5,400 evacuated. (10,000 minus 5,400 = 4,600, according to old fashion racist math)
Secretary of State Blinken the Blind and designated DoD Scapegoat General Mckenize say only 100-250 left behind??
Plus, they even left the service dogs….in cages. I am sure an assault team from PETA will be departing to save them or the Chinese Embassy said they have use for them.
When you take the spin off the evacuation you see that the Biden administration put 123,000 people at risk of life and limb. They further extended this number by sending in 6,000 troops to secure the airport.
Untold numbers of people were beaten and murdered on their way to the airport. Thirteen American Marine, Navy, and Army members were murdered at the airport. Now they will extend the problem with continued evacuations for the people who could not get to the airport or flights were unavailable. This was likely all avoidable if a draw down plan was followed. What a hellish mess.
Oh! BTW 55,000 phone calls and 33,000 e-mails are not impressive. I worked in an office that did more than that on routine business and not a rescue operation with urgency.
Many people thought the sun would rise in the west before the US Military went down the tubes.
Looks like they were wrong.
I’ve decided that it’s pointless to listen to these people. I see headlines elsewhere about how Jen Psaki handled a question from Doocey, and how “Biden” just put out a statement, etc. But, for me, it really doesn’t matter. These people are evil and they are liars (usually goes hand in hand). It’s seems quite clear that the powers that be lust only for more and more power and care nothing about human life – certainly not about Americans or America.
So here we are, on yet another profoundly sorrowful and enraging day.
Praying that G-d may show us a path forward out of this darkness. Until then, praying for strength.
Bidung is having an ice cream. He got what he wanted. No airplane shot down at the airport.
Contacted my brother this evening, retired Army helicopter pilot, he served in Kosovo and many tours in the sandbox. He agrees that the Afghanistan pullout was a disaster, but supports this administration. I’ve said it before, my older siblings – two military, one law enforcement, all got their Masters degrees post “service”, they’ve been brainwashed. God help us.
Un. real.
So he likes having a President with an estimated IQ of 72.
He sounds as stupid as my sister.
He’s teaching history classes in a charter school in Colorado Springs. I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt, unfortunately I trust no one other than my husband and dogs anymore, and a few great neighbors (including a young couple with little crumb crunchers, so there is hope yet).
People who refuse to accept reality are not safe to be around in a crisis. They get people killed.
This is what we are seeing in Afghanistan. And the people refusing to see the reality of why will just continue to get more people killed.
That’s your brother.
….”Nearly 90 retired generals and admirals signed a letter Monday calling for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley to resign over their roles surrounding the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.”……

Too little and too late. And they left off Biden.
I think it was about 500 of them who signed a letter condemning Trump.
The cops were after my hotrod Blinken…
Is that a huge underground zit on his lip?
When do we get to see the Surrender Letter and it’s terms than Biden signed?
Anthony Blinken came out, p ssed on our leg, and told us it’s raining.
No one with a functioning braincell would!
……” Nigel Farage: “When Boris Johnson made a desperate phone call to Biden he didn’t get a response for 40 hours… The result of this is any new military engagements that they want us to engage in we simply will not do with this man in charge… I can’t even see a future for NATO… I would not trust America under this administration.”……..
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/08/not-trust-america-administration-nigel-farage-great-britain-will-refuse-new-military-interventions-biden-charge/
Nigel, are you and all our “NATO allies” still paying your FAIR SHARE of NATO as mandated by our President Trump? Or has that also been rescinded by Sleepy Joe DamnedMinistration?. And is your conscience good with that, if that is the case?
Thank you. I LOVE Fernando!
So when the terrorist attacks resume (funny how they evaporated with Trump in office) how will BLM and antifa react? To this point they have been the can-do-no-wrong darlings of the left and protected from prosecution. I have no hypothesis. It just seems the golden children are about to be demoted.
Americans who don’t want to leave? So a new kind of suicide in martyrdom by hostage ? Thus holding the USA hostage to rescue them later?!! WTH!?
Just a few observations
Mr Bilinken, how do you explain the fact that The taliban is now hanging “dissidents” from Black Hawk helicopters?
And how should we interpret the idea that we left the helicopters to a supposed bunch of cave dwelling savages
who wouldn’t know how to fly a helicopter if their lives depended on it?
Is it possible that those flying the helicopters are USA trained pilots who posed as average Afghans wanting to protect their country?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I was in shock at the naivety and stupidity of the little speech.
The Bid3n administration as _Arrested Development_’s “The Surrogate” for 0bama — wonderful!
There is so much to be outraged over but for some reason leaving all the dogs behind is just the last straw for me. I am beyond enraged. I was so upset I had to go hug my own dogs. Someone has to pay for this.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/08/us-contract-working-dogs-abandoned-kabul-airport-last-plane-left/#post-comments
I am also very upset about the poor dogs abandoned to be tortured there.
It would’ve been better if they had euthanized them than whatever awaits them in the hands of these Demons!
Praying for all sentient lives in harms way in that unfortunate SH*T HOLE.
Why are soldiers who were on the ground in Kabul swearing to me that the State Department handed manifests to the Taliban but State and White House are saying that didn’t happen?
Whistleblowers!!! We need you!
Speaking of which….
Where is LtCol Scheller?
