A fascinating interview with Oklahoma Congressman Markwayne Mullin as he describes the frantic effort to help stranded Americans in Afghanistan. {Direct Rumble Link} Rep Mullin was part of a rescue mission to Afghanistan that ran into a roadblock put into place by the U.S. State Department.
As more details begin to surface, it’s clear the U.S. State Department, now led by Anthony Blinken, was attempting to control chaos in Kabul and down-play events to avoid catastrophic political consequences. The story by Mullin is gripping and heartbreaking. WATCH:

Osama and company have armed the very terrorist who killed thousands of Americans and the state department and other alphabet agencies are complicit as well.
They allowed terrorist to come to this country on our aircraft and are now being catered to on military bases. Why should we be surprised by the USAID program putting Americans in harms way while catering to terrorist or millions of illegals ?
Yet they live among us as the overlords of America in gated walls and with security detail. How is that? People aren’t mad enough to up the game of contempt? Americans complain al they want, but truth is they will go back to look at their mobile apps and get distracted by another crisis in the making! “Oh COVID 19, by the dawns early light” La LA LA, blah, blah,blah!
Obuma’s fingerprints & Joe’s arrogance are all over this withdrawal. Obviously their concerns are not for the member of the US Military or our citizens.
They’ve armed our enemies to the hilt instead of blowing every weapon, plane, sophisticated military tool, everything on wheels, hangers, to hell. The money spent is gone regardless, & any more used for Taliban ransom demands, should burst into flames in the hands of all involved.
The US military brass are men wishing to get extra stars and news for Americans and military personnel: the brass are willing monkeys for the entire of the military-industrial complex, which of course now includes Big Tech.
War. WAr. And more WaR.
Amen. The demonic cabal is already laying the groundwork for money for the Taliban.
While having us look over here, they will be flying it in at night in unmarked planes.
Lying, cheating, stealing and abandoning Americans & our allies is what they do best.

List of US Weapons of War Lost In Afghanistan
This is the information you are not supposed to have. According to Forbes, the Biden Administration is not helping transparency by “hiding key audits on Afghan military equipment.” I have gleaned this from published data from multiple reliable sources. *To determine the otherwise unstated number of ScanEagle Military Drones present in Afghanistan I used a news item which mentioned a DOD announcement that the Afghan National Army would be operating 65 of them by June 2018.
The night vision equipment, very expensive stuff, is why the Taliban feared the night. We had it, they didn’t. Now they do as well as any other terrorist organization that wants them.

An extremely conservative total cost of the above would fund the creation of about 1,000 of our newest stealth fighter, the F-35, or 6 of our newest aircraft carrier, the $12.8 billion USS Gerald R. Ford.
Makes me sick to continue to think about it!
We are not surprised. At least those with a functioning brain & any interest in what the dems have been doing in plain sight to destroy Americans.
This explains why the leftist media put out their stories so quickly suggesting this guys was just an out-of-control nutball.
Blinken, Biden, Harris, Haines, Milley, Austin, McKenzie are just despicable swine. As are Pelosi and Schumer who want to ignore all this.
Meanwhile, how does one advance to the rank of Three-Star General in today’s Army and not know how to correctly spell “heroes” ?
“This picture is worth 1000 words—thanks to these American hero’s. #Grateful”
Our Incompetent Woke Military: Three Star General Posts Photo She Thinks Are U.S. Troops Leaving Afghanistan–Turns Out They’re British
answer: here’s how
What an absurdity!
Very amusing that she pinned badges on her jacket about where her nipples would be. Kinda like a stripper.
Bet that scares the head-choppers.
Good catch. I thew up in my mouth but it’s still a good catch.
Gen A E Neuman
That’s a pic of Butterbutt.
This is a woman?
Is she a he?
I would suggest that the underling who sourced that photo is now on his/her way to secondment guard duty at RAF Brize Norton to learn what us Brits’ uniforms look like. Brize is our transport airbase, the location those soldiers in the picture came into.

It isn’t just the spelling. She also doesn’t know the correct use of an apostrophe. But how do you confuse US and British uniforms. Her MOS is probably diversity training.
yes, the difference between plural and possessive

Gender, sexual orientation, pigmentation & a dose of wokeness for good measure.
I don’t know if she went to a military academy, although I suspect she did, and I can tell you that many engineering majors fall short in areas that do not demand mathematics/spacial intelligence. Their verbal scores often do not illustrate unusually high intelligence in that area.
However, she should have learned to have someone edit her writing.
It must also be pointed out that after the Vietnam War the quality of candidates for the academies took a dive.
To be fair, the list of republicans state and federal dwarf democrat traitors 2-1. We own many state houses and senates also.
Don’t insult pigs!
They tried gain of function research for Joe Biden until they discovered that improving any inherent quality he possessed would make him worse. The retrograde project was canceled.
According to Fox News and likely other outlets, Blinken was claiming today or last night that there was a 17,000 visa backlog when Biden took office, so it’s Trumps fault.
If this were the case, why didn’t Blinken argue in favor of keeping Bagram open?
Why is Blinken just floating this BS now?

Probably the optics are so bad, with their bungled evacuation. They are attempting to change the narrative.
yeah, and they have brainstorming sessions
some drone holds his hand up and says
“Ooh … ooh … I know! Let’s point out this [shortcoming from the last administration] yada yada”
That’s interesting, especially as our Kabul Embassy shut down the entire
visa processing department on June 13th, 2021 due to…….wait for it……Coid-19 concerns.
I have no idea how long it was shut down. They probably don’t know either.
the visa backlog was/is a GOOD THING!
We should not be expediting the import of foreign nationals from anywhere, especially those selected and vetted by the Taliban.
The Americans and our allies were told NOT to come to the airport. Those who stormed the gates & boarded the planes & are now roaming wherever they like; were not concerned about visas & many are on terror watch lists, or should be.
This “administration” has structured this surrender/love fest with the enemy of Americans intentionally; even they are not this dumb.
It’s called DESPERATION!!
plus this photo
so-called “fact checker” in lefty media tried to claim he looked at his watch “after the ceremony ended”, yet here is Jill Biden with her hand over her heart … actually, Joe too
What he should’ve said, “I blame you and the rest of the news media for allowing voter fraud to go unchecked. You are allowing this to take place by not reporting the truth.”
The media wrote a blank check to a bunch of sellout communists, now they have to watch “us” pay the bill with blood.
So spot on and well said.
give that car a brown paint job, give him a brown toupee and you have Joe Biden tooling around in Wilmington in Jill Stevenson’s brown Corvette
Was he married to his first wife at the time or had she passed?
A couple thinks I heard today while listening to Levin’s show.
President Trumps plan required the Taliban not not attack any provincial capitols. Since attacks on those capitols started in May, clearly Biden ignore Trumps plan in total.
He played a clip of Biden repeating the BS that State tried contacting people in Afghanistan 19 times about leaving.
Given how pathetic State Department instructions were right up to the last plane leaving, it would be interesting to see the transcripts/text of those 19 warnings, to include dates they were sent. If we had functioning journalists, they would be asking for those warnings.
The “Bad Guys” are in total desperation and panic. It can only get worse for them n the coming weeks. more people are becoming aware and getting a feeling of concern.
As an example; I talked to a Hispanic neighbor of mine, he and his wife has been lifelong Democrats, but not anymore. They are very scared and concerned about the future. It is no longer a “what if’ with them. It is what they see right now.
I’m sure your Hispanic neighbors are seeing the same communist chaos that they fled in their home country.
It is only willfully ignorant AMERICANS who can’t see the obvious, because they never lived it before and they don’t believe it can happen here.
But it did. And it is.
???☠️
American MSM is facilitating Phase II of the Venezuela Plan…
Stand by Phase III includes mass layoffs, failed economy, sky rocket inflation,food rations, riots and plagues.
But dont worry we still have ESPN and the knee taking NFL to keep us occupied throughout the winter.
Thank academia for the dumb clucks that are indoctrinated with hate for their country, and ignorant of her history.
The dumb dem youths, shoot, loot , burn & try to mate with ambulances, causing deaths of their Juneteenth celebrants shooting each other. They are protected & never see the inside of a jail for monumental destruction, terrorizing citizens & murder. Meanwhile a patriot Ms. Babbitt is murdered & those trespassing at the People’s House are sitting in solitary confinement. What COUNTRY is this?
From memory the Talibans did not attack those provincial capitols until after the date in Trump’s Doha Agreement they agreed they wouldn’t.
It was Biden that broke that Agreement by delaying unilaterally the ‘out by’ date. The Talibans then took the moral high ground by not attacking US forces even though, under the Agreement, they were entitled to.
Yet another unfortunate time when the US confirms Russia’s claims that the US is agreement incapable.
The state department is actively putting roadblocks in the paths of planes from non profits, & retired military to bring our people home. Pure unadulterated EVIL
Representative Mullin, in speaking on his readiness and willingness to do what he and other former military have stepped up to do – this is how I always believed our military to be, honorable in every way possible. Thank you Sir and everyone who is able to step up and remind our politicians, and the world at large, that we are not what the current narrative is trying to sell.
Prayers go out to all who are silently working to save as many as they can, and return safely home.
It’s interesting to hear him say their plane was circling Kabul and denied landing 5 times.
Earlier news reports on this suggested he was a loose cannon, and possibly going to get a woman and kids. I had the impression from reading it that he had been in-country as a soldier and knew the woman.
Other reporting was that he only made it as far as Tajikistan, then turned around when refused entry into Afghanistan.
There was some serious attempts by the swamp rats at State to throw shade on this entire operation. With what he stated, it’s now clear why.
In his interview, he says he was never a soldier but he did get a call from a woman and child and then the suicide bomb happened and he hasn’t heard from her since. Not sure if he knew her- he definitely didn’t say he did. And rumors were already spread about him going to a different airport (starts with a T, in region) that he never even attempted to go to. So there’s that.
Before you fall for this, Mullins is my representative. I voted for him, twice. However, he recently hugged Ashli Babbitt’s murderer and told him he did the right thing and was a hero. Ask yourself, why was the Nazarene Fund and Mighty Oaks able to get thousands of America-loyal Afghans, Americans and other foreigners out of Afghanistan (and still are right this minute) without “secretly” leaking their plans to the press and making sure the world knew the dangers they were in? My guess is they didn’t need to create a Lindsey Graham-like stunt to fool enough constituents to get poll numbers up from a recent photo-op disaster with a murderer. I’m not buying Mullins’ verve. Not for one second.
“However, he recently hugged Ashli Babbitt’s murderer and told him he did the right thing and was a hero.”
That report does take the “glitter”off Mullins’ actions descried in this Fox interview. It certainly legitimizes anyone questioning what this man’s motivations are at his core. However his report about State Dept. obstruction is useful and informative.
Here are 2 link(s) to published new stories that substantiate your assertion. (there are other links if one searches but these suffice for now)

Mentioned earlier upthread, that he either has a Conscious or is attempting to get better optics. Unfortunately I am leaning for better optics.
It would appear he took one heck of a personal risk going over there to just get some “positive optics.”
Maybe the guy is not terribly bright and just sticks his wet finger up in the air frequently to check the current direction of the political wind.
As usual it always is best to know what we can learn about public figures before endorsing them. Still, I think Sundance did the right thing publishing this particular interview for the insight gained from Mullins experience.
Most in Congress aren’t terribly bright.
Hugging and praising Ashli’s killer is outrageous! Thank you for the links proving such.
Hopefully, Sundance will be able to dig a little further and figure out exactly what Markwayne is up to.
It’s a Fox News interview for Pete’s sake!
Why would anyone not have their very first inclination be ‘what’s the goal behind airing this?’ Including Sundance.
Sheesh! ?♂️?♂️?♂️?♂️?♂️?♂️
Has the criminal occupant of the WH been arrested or court martialed yet? Meanwhile, tom cotton and the senate cabal of empty suits sent a ltr to jihad joe and his accomplices demanding answers… if they hadn’t cast a YES vote to certify a blatantly fraudulent, stolen election in the 1st place, we wouldn’t have 13 fallen servicemen / women and wounded, and b in this mess. May God’s justice b swift and brutal..
Firing squad
Bret Baer is disgusting. First time I’ve seen him in a while. He did not believe the story and it showed.
I hadn’t seen him in a long while either, he looks as if he has had some plastic surgery, or some really bad make-up on, looked like a Cabbage Patch doll. Bret is another one that is an unelected politician that is in the decision making loop on what/how America should be.
‘…Blood on his hands… ‘funny from the fella who told Ashley Babitts murderer he did the right thing.
I expect better from an Okie.
Sooo FOX NEWS actually reports some news… Finally?!?!?
Puke on Brett Bair! Another freaking liberal media a$$hat who becomes the new gate keeper of controlled opposition! Hey Chrissy Wallace has a new book out!
Markwayne’s story jives w/others that were on the ground. Our State Dept. is evil and like all other agencies should be disbanded. It still blows my mind how all of this was handled.
I’ll tell you what time it is, Joe.
It’s time to take your lying, heartless, Communist self out of the Nation’s House.
As one of its many owners, I want you out – SCOTUS has declared your asinine, free-loading occupancy, illegal.
God bless Congressman Mullin! How many are standing up to do what he did? Certainly not the State Department, or the top military brass!
These other Members of Congress, what are they doing? McCarthy didn’t want Rep Mullins to go. What does that say about him?
All we heard was lies from everry one of them who was basically covering their posteriors, from the resident on down. Every one of them, from spokespeople to heads of Departments and Agencies who had a hand in this humanitarian debacle and papered it over with their words from various podiums, must resign in ignominy.
Just like January 6th, we know what we saw. Lies, and more lies!
Don’t call Bret ‘sir’. Just nod.
All real Americans were long gone before collapse. Any story that promotes the idea of having more dual passport Afghanis in America I take with a grain of salt. Then factor in he’s a RINO who feels January 6 protest was the greatest threat to our democracy since……
I’m glad he was ‘unsuccessful’.
One you get over the warm glow of a story that makes Biden look bad you begin to realize this a just another narrative being used by the Uniparty to justify bringing in tens of thousands more Afghanis.
Great catch by GB Bari down thread ?

It should be pinned to the top of this thread as a reminder of all things Fox News.
My first inclination on seeing the video/link was why is Fox News airing this?
What’s up with Bret Bair? Is he morphing into another Chris Wallace?
Ol’ Bret ” Arizona called for Biden” Baer looks green.
the united States government and their lack of love for mankind along with their love of money and control and power have murdered innocent people period!!!
Never trust Brett Baier.
Never forget that Fox News was a co-conspirator in The Big Steal on November 3, 2020 by flagrantly “calling” Arizona early.
The Constitution mentions nothing about “calling” anything.
Motto of Blinken’s State Department: Save face, not lives.
Hmmmm……this is the member of the House of Representatives that told his constituents that they don’t pay his salary because he owns, actually his family owns, numerous businesses that he pays plenty of taxes on and he pays his own salary. And he is also the guy that comforted the Lt Byrd after he murdered Ashli Babbitt and told him he did what he had to do.
So, yeah, it probably would have been great if the Taliban got a hold of him and kept him.
