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:
.
Thank you for posting this excellent interview.
As easy as it is to dismiss not allowing American Citizens with documentation into the airport as just more examples of “evil” or “incompetent” Biden, has anyone heard from any of their reading or from people who were on the ground whether any actual rationale was guiding individual decisions, (regardless of whether it was misguided)?
Were there fake documents floating around and concerns that people pretending to be American citizens were potential suicide bombers? Was the airport so overcrowded it was impossible to fit more bodies inside? As distrusting as I am of our government, It still feels impossible to me that every American human being in that airport was evil or blindly following orders they did not understand or agree with to tell American Citizens at the gate to pound sand.
Forget “chaos”, “evil”, “incompetence”. What did rational, responsible professionals with souls think they were doing to help the operation by bringing in all the wrong people?
All good questions. However do not overlook the fact that the situation WAS chaotic to the extreme. Most of us, when suddenly put under extreme pressure, tend to revert to doing whatever we have long-practiced and done repeatedly in the past. The term “muscle memory” is somewhat suggestive of that.
I can well-imagine that some if not many uniformed soldiers on the ground were completely unprepared to deal with this sudden incoming rush of thousands of emotionally-terrified individuals.
This does not excuse the abject failure of the chain of command to have prioritized the safety of all American citizens and NOT announced any withdrawal before nonchalantly removing as many of those citizens as possible ahead of any announcements.
Mine is but one narrow focused look at the catastrophic mismanagement; there are so many more aspects to this extremely dynamic situation that has become a permanent, inexcusable and very shameful black mark on the corrupt frauds who control our government (to add to all the others that have been committed for decades).
According to recent news articles, the Marines guarding the entrance to the Airport, were not issued ammunition. Just think about that for a moment.
The total scope of this horror, I think, is still hidden. I bet there as as much we don’t know as do. I’m just wondering how much is it going to take to rid ourselves of this aged, sick, lying, pervy, vile fraud. The incalculable damage his presence is doing keeps mounting up. An underground Christian Afghan group was executed, including children, in the last few days. One of their members was on the phone when our “new friends” shot them all. All we can do is weep and pray.
Betsy, you were much better able to articulate an accurate description of the installed occupant than I. Thank you.
Patricia, I think we all have any number of accurate adjectives in our verbal arsenal. I’m certain yours are equally potent. I have so many that I had to choose just a few or else my comment would run on forever.
well we should put the blame were it belongs, and that’s with Obama, and the people paying his to instruct dementia joke
I think there is little doubt Obama, his acolytes, and his fellow globalist travelers are behind this decrepit marionette. The replacement president is going to be as bad or worse.
Betsy…betsy…..there will be replacement by real president who won in 11/03/2020…did you resign as spineless rinos ?????
The Southside ChiTown Gangstahoodie Street Hustler didn’t cast all those votes for himself. However hard he tried.
Our fellow dumcit’izens
did that to us—twice.
And, hard as it is to face, we enabled it—every time WE didn’t ram their mythical “white guilt” racism back through their white-hating teeth.
We elected The Black Prince-ss, God Emperor BO, and his Feckless Court Jester Jo, every time we kept silent out of fear of being labeled a “Racist”.
AND-swallow this bitter pill, every time we didn’t rhetorically box the ears of someone complaining about Trump’s Tweets or moral failings.
I recognize it is not a short-term solution, but the long-term is even more critical. We must take over the Republican party completely and kick half to two thirds of the Republican Congressmen and women to the curb. The RHINO’s must be buried, and those who cooperated with evil charged to the full extent of the law.
People are trying.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/09/flop_sweat_propublica_scandalized_and_horrified_to_expose_that_grassroots_conservatives__are_organizing.html
I am talking Revolution.
Just like the Founders did.
And for the same reason.
They realized their votes didn’t count!
“No taxation without representation.”
I reserve the right to remind myself that we have been “organizing” since Reagan-and it has gotten us…here.
I don’t like here.
And I don’t have experiential reason to have Faith in Conservatives Organizational Successes.
I agree that those republicans in name only need to be primaried and removed. Fortunately there is time to scrutinize potential replacements. I think the chance of prosecutions are next to zero, however, much as I wish it as you do. Justice is dead for the moment. Instead, we have in its place a legal system , and that is skewed so far left, I should have put the word in inverted commas. Our voting systems need a good clean up and clean out. If this can be done, then we’re in with a chance.
“If this can be done”
We had our chance:
The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity also called the Voter Fraud Commission…
Vice President Mike Pence was as chair of the commission and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach was vice chair…
On June 28, 2017, Kobach, in conjunction with the Department of Justice, asked every state for personal voter information. The request was met with significant bipartisan backlash; 44 states and the District of Columbia declined
We Conservatives allowed them to do that.
My only disagreement is with your numbers. Sadly. I think it’s more like 90% need to go. I am certain 90 percent of the GOP Senate needs to go. The House maybe not quite so high. But close.
We can get rid of the corrupt Senators 1/3 at a time.
Assuming we can get an honest voting system
We certainly can’t assume that.
True, but then we always could.
And yet, here we are.
New, America First, leadership in both chambers would help in the interim. Problem is RINOS control the leadership process.
The balance of probabilities favors that premise.
But I think “the correlation of forces” is adverse.
If they fail to keep Newsom from being recalled, I will recognize reason to hope.
If not not.
Mitch is the head of the snake that must be cut off…
Mitch is the “God Father” of the Rino side of the uniparty…He has single handedly managed the Gang of Eight since 2007, selected and seated 3 Suprime Court Justices
and blocked genuine Republican canidates from office…Yes, like a poisonous viper nestled in your sleeping bag, what are you gonna do?
Although at this point I would be happy just to see corrupt politicians removed from power, I understand what you mean. The Uni-Party has done horrible things that betrayed national security, caused lives to be destroyed and in some cases, resulted in loss of life.
My concern is that most people get turned off by long investigations so we must be careful to able to bring strong cases to justice quickly. The newly elected non-corrupt representatives could run the risk of becoming negatively perceived partisan puppets like Robert Mueller.
The most important thing for the newly elected to do is to act morally and truly drain the swamp. We need to move forward in a way that restores our Founding values.
“we must be careful to able to bring strong cases to justice quickly.”
I have yet to experience that.
If Newsom is recalled, I would have reason to hope in the possibility.
From your lips to God’s ears.
Thank you Betsy for saying this. It is a horror show and I no longer trust many painting the picture in media.. I don’t like Bret the the turncoat. He walked away from ‘The People’ years ago. Fox is pretty much lost.
I will say this Rep from OK seemed so real, genuine… very rare nowadays. I thank Congressman Mullin for all his efforts. To Brett I say, “you have no business questioning this man’s good intentions”.
Prayers for all the people suffering right now ??
I agree about Bair, who I considered principled. I was disabused of this in short order and was shocked by it. He seemed balanced in his reporting, all a fraud it seems. I tell my grandchildren here that the first thing they should do when listening to teachers, media, government is to question everything, believe nothing until they do their own research. That’s how I operate. I start from the premise now that they are all lying liars. I regret to say I have not been proven wrong. Sad. I suspect this Rep is genuine. I hate the banal phrase “time will tell”…but it will.
You are exactly right! I taught my children similar. Trust but always verify. Do own research. I agree, too many in media and politics are lying liars. Same with many at top of Govt agencies. Sad we can’t trust. America has lost the innocence I grew up believing in.
Trust but always verify.
That is why I am awaiting the Results of The Newsom Recall before investing great hope in Conservatives Organizing for Political Success and Punishing Political Corruption.
Agree 100% about doing one’s own research. Sadly, the climate now is such that it makes that process exceedingly difficult because so many lies pass as truth, opinions pass as facts, conservatives views are suppressed, and so on. So now, we have to teach our kids and grand kids about how to determine if something is legitimate or not. It’s all very exhausting, but onward we go…
I’m fortunate enough to have 3 of my 9 close enough to be able to pick them up from school, as I have been doing since they were toddlers. Good manners were the first lesson and that one they learned. Now we’re into history and the beginning of politics. They’re listening, asking questions; and since I have them in a moving vehicle, they can’t go any where while I blather on. Have to take the opportunities where they come.?
Hahahahaha! A truly captive audience (though, of course, they can tune you out).
And they do from time to time. Until I call them out. Teenagers you know.
“I will say this Rep from OK seemed so real, genuine.” You betcha. He was real and genuine when he hugged Ashley Babbitts murderer and told him that he “did a good job.”
I am afraid to get rid of Biden, you will have to accept Cackling Kamala, who is ineligible to be president.
I’m with you. I’m terrified. Like being in a locked room with certifiable lunatics and no exits.
A fair point.
On the other hand, a lack of eligibility has never stopped these people.
It doesn’t matter which of those two morons (“sniff & squeeze” or “heels up”) are in the Oval Office. The ones who are actually making policy and executing it are neither of those two puppets. Ozero, Cankles, and all of their DemoFascist / DemoCommunist minions are behind the curtains creating all the chaos and destruction.
Obunghole wasn’t eligible either,but that didn’t seem to worry him or the DemocRATS,did it??????
Can you supply a link to the Christian group being executed. I can’t find anything.
I believe this, but would like a source to use in my discussion with family and friends.
I wish I could give a solid link. It was a tweet by a “Ismael Montoya”, if you know how to access his Twitter page. He ended his tweet by saying ” God is so powerful they went to be with the Creator fuller with joy. We will be fasting tomorrow for the churches.”
I don’t believe our political or media overlords want us to know of such atrocities.
Obama…never biden, always obama
The world’s worst kept secret.
“I’m just wondering how much is it going to take to rid ourselves of this aged, sick, lying, pervy, vile fraud.”
Indeed.
And how?
Our Overlords knew what they had, and what they were/are going to do with Jo S•••.
It is possible the ridding process is completely removed from any conceivable input from ourselves.
It is also possible our real situation is closer to that of those underground Afghan Christians than we think.
A chilling way to put it. And worse, I don’t think you’re wrong. I’ve tried to put my finger on my exact feelings about everything we’re enduring up to and including the jabs and mandates. And as I said to my husband I think it is this. I feel as if we’re all being hunted down, like prey. It’s a terrible, unsettling feeling. So yes. Just like those martyred Afghan Christians.
CS Lewis once remarked that “the [downside] of miracles is that they tend to cluster around Martyrs.”
Your reply, Betsy, interestingly enough, cheered me up!
Because it suddenly jujitsued Lewis’ observation.
Being hunted down means our Martyrdom is assured.
We have no hope in our own ability to remain faithful, but He has assured us that He is able to accomplish that: “and stand he will for God is able to make him stand.”
I’m sure you know many other scriptures that offer such assurances.
Here’s the flip.
If we can’t dodge the Martydom, we’ll probably be stepping right into the Miracles!
I’m glad it did that. I adore CS Lewis, who didn’t start out as a committed and devoted Christian, as I’m sure you knew. I pray so often ” Thy will be done”, as it certainly is being done. And at the same time, I pray to our Almighty for a miracle. He is our Way Maker. But you know, I watch constantly, and where in the last months I’ve felt helpless and fearful, all of a sudden, I feel I’m seeing Him working to turn a hopeless situation inside out. Little by little. And I always try to remember He is never too early nor too late. Abiding faith is a great help. In His own time.
Branco is brutal, isn’t he? He never misses.
Truth to Power.
“How do you say ‘No’ to people who are asking for help?”
Check with biden and his staff. They know how to do that without even thinking about it.
People like Bidung are trying to help themselves, not others, and, especially, not others that can’t grease their palms.
The learned that from the Clintons.
Oh dont worry we wont say no to the Taliban when they need us to help them with the awful ISISK and the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. They’re our new friends dont you know?
Did they give 10% to the big guy? No? To Hell with them.
Pregnant American trapped in Kabul talks to VOA from hiding after Taliban shot at her in view of US troops.
https://therightscoop.com/wow-pregnant-american-trapped-in-kabul-talks-to-voa-from-hiding-after-taliban-shot-at-her-in-view-of-u-s-troops/
ALL of the fallout the installed idiot has created is so gut wrenching. All I can say, is please pray everyone.
So very true “kf”.
It is if Biden went out of his way to stick it to every vulnerable human in the path of the Taliban, children, pregnant women, elderly and dogs who assisted our military leaving them caged and gave assistance to the violent brutal nasty killers who deserved it the least.
Biden has trapped the helpless and handed them over to our enemy and brought the violent Terrorists to us here in America.
8:30 mark. jizya.
I know next to nothing about this Congressman, but this interview was one of the most incredible I’ve ever heard with an elected official.
The moment at the end when Bair asked him if he thought we’d get everyone out was painful and sobering. His initial silence and what appeared to be a few moments to maintain his composure felt like a rare experience with an elected official when they are fully present, with no agenda, no ulterior motive, no choreographed moment to use in a fundraising ad down the road… just an American and a member of Congress who is trying to do the right thing by his fellow Americans.
Excellent, Sarah. There are a few like him. It is a tragedy that we could probably count them in total on one hand.
Yup. Two hands, max. I have a list of the good guys. I make it a point to call them every few days to thank them an urge them to do more. But (and I hate to say it) of late, even the good guys are letting me down. Perhaps they’re weary from bucking the rest of the party. Hard to say. Everywhere one turns, we’re reminded how truly on our own we are.
Would you be kind enough to share your list? If we commit to support them as individuals and the numbers grow, it may help to stiffen their backbones. A weekly note of support via VM or email may do wonders.
Tricky stuff these days posting such lists as leftists will seize upon it and hassle them. I don’t recognize your handle, not that this website isn’t a public space that anyone can access, but at this juncture I would say, learn, do your own research, and determine for yourself who you think the good guys (or gals) are.
My list of disappointments grows daily… they run as rock ribbed conservatives, then once elected, shed those down to earth clothes and put on their fancy sparkling duds supplied by various lobbyists and the Chamber of Commerce. Dan Crenshaw and Kristi Noem come to mind. And yes…until we choose with discretion their replacements we are on our own. No guarantees, but we can do our homework as best as possible.
Yup. I often wonder what’s in the water they’re drinking.
It seems they think we can’t see them. Or aren’t paying attention.
Donor Cash
dan Crenshaw, for instance, regarding the 2020 steal
OTOH, didn’t a congressmen or two go to Guyana to bust up that cult?
Can you picture McCarthy flying into Afghan to attempt this? Hell will freeze over first.
Utterly impossible! What a weak sister he is.
“Blood being on the hands” of dems / libs / progressives / commies, ALL birds of the same feather, is a desired FEATURE of their sick and twisted political ends, not a flaw.
Blood also on the hands of every Boneless Turkey Repubs that stood silent about the stolen election.
9/11 is one week from today. Who among us would not be surprised to see Americans beheaded or worse broadcast to the world? There are no words to describe the naked catastrophe that is the installed occupant of our executive mansion. God be with these poor souls.
I’m hoping not, but preparing for the worst. I’m also hoping, probably in vain, that the p(resident) takes his cue from the 9/11 families who told him not to show up, that he wasn’t welcome at any remembrance ceremonies. They said this well before this whole tragic embarrassment occurred. I’m sure their wishes are more intense now. And they are right. He has no place …none… at any memorial for 9/11. And if he dares to show his odious countenance, well, may their righteous anger make itself known.
This is a time to pray like never before.
Just IMHO – September 11 is too obvious. Many of us are wary and watching. Would not put it past them to do something nefarious within a few days of the 11th, before or after. Probably after, when millions of people have signed with relief, but too soon.
Dont worry Joey’s got a gala victory lap on deck for 9/11.
Oklahoma Congressman Markwayne Mullin’s comments about the brutal realities are certainly more honest and informative than Woke Milley’s comments this morning.
I’m not surprised that the otherwise excellent reporter Jennifer Griffin was given the 1st exclusive interview with Woke Milley after she countered some of her Fox colleagues comments and defended the military brass in some interviews since the debacle. sundance can add her to those reporters that are linked closely with the Pentagon.
Milley mixed genuine facts with a creative narrative that military conditions warranted ALL of the decisions and outcomes that occurred. The only alternative was a resurgent war with the Taliban. He ended by assuring America that “The Marines did not die in vain but so others (not Americans) will live free.” He is bragging about freeing non Americans while he and his Democratic bosom buddies are investigating Americans for white rage and other sick political reasons. Despicable!
His well rehearsed anecdote about a teary eyed Marine mother he met at Walter Reed with her severely injured Marine (from the bomb) will likely ensure that he and all the other planners of this shameful betrayal are never punished or held accountable in any way. According to him, the Marine’s mother had seen an Afghan family with 4 other children that were also wounded and “they connected and it was at that point the Marine mother says to me, ‘At that point it all became clear to me.” It’s not at all clear to me and I suspect for the parents of the other dead Marines.
Jennifer concluded with another well chosen “heart tugging” anecdote:
“I spoke to Colonel Amy Gleason who is in charge of the camp behind me and she said for her, helping the thousands of Afghans here is helping her to process the last 20 years of war.” The U.S. military’s primary job seems to be freeing foreigners while their own country’s gov’t seeks to strip its own citizens of their freedom in many ways.
So suck it all up America, confident, cocky Gen. Milley said “IT was not in vain.” Just ignore the trapped Americans and the military arsenal left behind etc.
Give him a cigarette and a blinding
blindfold
I saw that interview yesterday.
Later, a panel discussing it had that a-hole who pretends to be a conservative, Something Lane. Can’t recall his first name.
He said, “I don’t know what the Congressman was even trying to say; he was disjointed. I don’t know what he thought he could accomplish but he shouldn’t have gone.”
I gave Lane’s image on the tv the Double Mickey Finger.
Just remembered the a-hole’s name–Charles Lane. I always picture a guy like that, 20 years older, to be Peggy Noonan’s husband.
Lane recognizes neither courage nor humanity when he sees it. That is what I took from the interview. Elites=w/out humanity
I think he may have matriculated at The New Republic. Replaced Michael Kelly as editor.
I have never in my life seen a President of the United States and his direct subordinates unwilling to help and protect American citizens.
Absolutely amazing.
You are not seeing one now either. Biden is NOT President. He was installed and he is senile.
Couple that with the utter lack of push back or any attempt to expose him and everyone in his administration accountable to the highest level of the law possible.
These are surreal, terrifying, and dangerous times.
But they were only Afghans, you know, the people you see at the 7-Eleven counter. \s
ahem … O … Benghazi ??
And Jimmy Carter stranded 50 American hostages in Tehran for over a year.
How quickly we forget.
Carter was a failure but he tried to rescue the hostages. You’ve got to give him that.
Obama, HRClinton, Biden OTOH……. Digusting!!!!
Well that’s probably because we have never before had such a totally un-American Deep State criminal cabal pulling the strings of our government, cheered on and defended by a totally un-American globalist corporate-controlled media, as has been going on and getting progressively worse for the past 2+ decades.
The crooks in DC don’t care.
Politics is everything. Preserving the club is number one priority.
Yes and their state press has already quit covering it. There are no consequences now and they all know it.
Well this explains why the State department is blocking Americans ‘s return even now….it would made them ” look bad” . Which is far , far more upsetting to the regime than the loss American lives…I mean, way far more.
Exactly right. As long as they have their media propagandists to cover for them, the controlled optics is all they care about.
Never forget the same people in almost total control of our country are of the same ideology that has killed hundreds of millions of people in the 2oth century.
Human lives, other than their own, means nothing to them.
Speaking of “looking bad”… I think that it is MUCH more criminal & traitorous!

The purest version of American courage and resolve so far comes from a Republican congressman.
These kinds of personal stories become the rising tide that lifts all boats.
He will never regret his decision and his supporters will never regret supporting him.
Someone please tell me how estimates of 10,000 to 15,000 and possible as much as 30,000 American citizens in Afghanistan turns into 4,500 returned to the US and 2oo remaining in peril.
Don’t even try to make the math work. It won’t. Because they lie. All the time. In their quest to destroy America.
Because for the woke 2 + 2 does not equal 4 anymore. It equals whatever they want it to and us proles aren’t allowed to dissent.
The 30,000 number is based on the number of Afghan bank accounts opened by Americans that the Treasury Department has been sending money to every month for the last 20 years. Fortunately 90% of those people actually live in Maryland and Northern Virginia.
The 30,000 number is based on the number of Afghan bank accounts, opened by Americans, that the Treasury Department has been sending money to every month for the last 20 years. Fortunately 90% of those people actually live in Maryland and Northern Virginia so…
If The U.S. Government Wanted it to be Different, It Would Be
Smartest person I know to bought and paid for father, Look we own 10% of a 1.5 billion $ hedge fund and have been told to leave Afghanistan quickly, leave 85 billion in equipment behind ,, import as many unvetteted tallyban as we can and leave Americans and afghans who helped behind. China steps right in and gets the mineral assets they want and Afghanistan will be a problem for us and around the world for many years to come. Or else
Trump had the audacity to get close to Modi in India and setting India up as the alternative to China for offshore manufacturing. China sad panda.
China bots in the Bidenbama White House want to wreck it with India. So, if you wanted to send $80 billion of advanced US military tech and materiel to Pakistan to use against India and mess them up a bit, how would you go about it? Hey guys! I have an idea. Don’t we have it all just sitting in Afghanistan already? How about we just let Pakistan have all that stuff that’s in Afghanistan? Now ….. how could we go about transferring all that stuff to Pakistan? Hmmmmmmm
Do you think they installed LoJack on those military vehicles? At least we can see where they’re heading.
This is what you get when you have an entire leadership apparatus that lives to burn each other for gain.
Real Americans back Americans in need, **** the consequences, and we’ll smooth things over when it’s all said and done.
I want this congressman for VP behind DeSantis.
I believe this congressman is the one who hugged & thanked the killer of Ashley Babbitt.
? Seriously?? ?
Sad to say, Treepers,
Congressman Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) told CSPAN he hugged Byrd after he killed Babbitt in cold blood. This was published in the Gateway Pundit July 27, 2021.
Link to GP article: GOP Rep. Mullin Hugged Lt. Byrd After He Shot Trump-Supporter Ashli Babbitt Dead in Cold Blood
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/07/gop-rep-mullin-hugged-ashli-babbitt-shot-trump-supporter-ashli-babbitt-dead-cold-blood-told-sir-video/
Thank you for bringing that tidbit back to our attention, Plus the link.
Could be a means of attempting to do the right thing. Having a conscious?, or having received to much heat from his hugging of the cold bliided killer of Ashli Babbitt.
Nowadays my head is spinning with everything that is going on. Have been disappointed lately many times.
Or it could be that humans are complex creatures and our behaviors don’t always align w/how others think they should.
Did not know that.
It appears that he’s familiar w/the officer who shot Babbit, that he thinks highly of him, that the officer was shaken afterwards and Mullin hugged him to comfort him, and that Mullin felt that since Babbit didn’t obey his commands, he had no choice, among other things.
https://www.newsweek.com/pro-trump-rep-markwayne-mullin-defends-capitol-officer-who-shot-ashli-babbitt-1612849
This is a very interesting read on the shooting, written by a lawyer who sub-specializes in self-defense.
https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/09/law-of-self-defense-analysis-jan-6-shooting-of-ashli-babbitt-was-legally-justified/
If you read the Legal Insurrection article, be sure to read the comments.
The lawyer is very persuasive, verbose and technical, but the commenters pick it apart, with important objections. Lawyer calls it ”legally justified”, then says the prosecution would have a difficult time getting a conviction, so no reason to bring case.
Pure lawyerese, all trained as liars, can argue any side of an argument with equally convincing glibness and this lawyer has no reason to present a case against Byrd to be tried in DC; he would be doxed and disbarred. CYA.
Bottom line: Pelosi is Bryd’s boss, and does not want this in the courts, and cross examined with possibility of discovery included all Byrd’s telephone contacts from 1/6.
Yes, I did read the comments and thought the entire discussion was interesting. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Branca, as I do for many of the regular commentators at LI. When Branca writes something, I challenge myself to consider it even if it goes against my pre-conceived idea(s). I may wind up disagreeing with him in the end, or not, but he is a an expert on the topic of self-defense and has provided incredible coverage of salient trials in recent years with a great deal of not only expertise, but also personal/professional integrity. Comments are also illuminating oftentimes, as they were in this case.
From his explanation of why the Special Forces guys needed him to go is a little fuzzy. If they needed some political clout with the State Dept, choosing a Republican congressman was hardly the way to go.
Did he get anybody out?
What he did accomplish was to verify that the crazies in charge of our country are somehow aligned with the enemy and don’t care how many Americans and soldiers are blown to bits, or executed.
Well, then, too bad he didn’t have the sense to recognize that Ashli’s death was an execution and that Byrd didn’t care.
Yup
link?
I believe he made an emotional mistake in a time of terror having been told about the bombs……maybe this action was an attempt to redeem himself.
Don’t believe anything that you hear or see from the MSM.They lie constantly.
Brett Baier’s performance in this interview was the very definition of the soulless millionaire apparatchiks who shape the deep state narrative. What a ruthless, shameless punk.
Should we expect any better, any different, from a nation where abortionist’s rights trump that of the child’s? PP was just given an ER temp restraining order against the TX right to life law. If we don’t value life, if we don’t protect the most vulnerable lives, it follows that we wouldn’t give a damn about Americans in Afghanistan desperate to come home.
Power hungry, sociopathic tyrants have taken control and evil rules the day.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/09/04/planned-parenthood-granted-emergency-temporary-restraining-order-against-texas-right-to-life/
No, the story was more than compelling Baier, you azz, it was damning.
Glen Beck and the Nazarene Fund tried to get people out of Afghanistan and ran into some of the same issues caused by the state dept. and well as having them call countries who them refused to take refugees they had previously welcomed. Here’s a link to his update:
I think every person/org that’s been working to get people out have encountered the same roadblock: the State Dept.
They want those left behind dead. “Dead men tell no tales”.
Well, here’s a least one telling her tale stuck in a “safe house” in Afghanistan and running out of hope.
https://therightscoop.com/wow-pregnant-american-trapped-in-kabul-talks-to-voa-from-hiding-after-taliban-shot-at-her-in-view-of-u-s-troops/
If Biden’s betrayal was anywhere near the crime of eating two scoops of ice cream things would be different.
The whole biden administration is illegitimate and guilty of treason.
They may never be held accountable in this life, but this life is not all there is.
Can anybody in OK add something about Representative Mullin??
Seems to be a good guy. He also seems smart and well spoken. I am sure he has warts as do the few in congress I like, but he seems to be cut from the same cloth as Jim Jordan.
I don’t live in his district, but here are a few things you might find interesting:
https://www.numbersusa.com/content/my/congress/11605/gradescoresheet
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/markwayne_mullin/412568

I live in his district and I had rather have him as our rep and get rid of our senator James Langford. At least if he said he would do something, it is done. Was very disappointed when he hugged a murderer.
Yes, he would be better than the horrible RINO Lankford and yes he did hug the man who shot Ashli Babbit. Generally speaking, he comes off as a bit of a clown. He also promised to serve only 6 years and then backed out of that promise to run again in 20.
was he ever interviewed for us to hear in his own words what transpired to make him hug that murderer? No. We only got the MSM version.
He is no Jim Jordan. Does not have the intellectual firepower.
Plain and Simple, Bret Bair is &Hore.
Bret Hair is a Bore.
Do I understand the interview correctly? The plane wasn’t even allowed to land?
I heard the same thing…the plane was given at least 5 different clearances in 5 different … clear..deny…clear cycles, with the US State Department having a hand in each part of the cycle, especially the deny (withdrawal of clearance) part.
If heard correctly, allot of the detail as far as money and people to be evacuated was concerned was the subject of numerous TEXT messages with people in Kabul as well as Various State Department Employees and they did not get on the ground.
Bottom line…State Department spiked the rescue at least 5-times during the mission over Kabul Airport and purposely worked to scuttle the mission.
Thanks,thedoc00, for your reply. Appalling.
Would love to hear the whole interview. It was cut to do the least damage possible.
Sorry for the inconvenience Nora! 🙁
…build ISIS back better….Muslim brotherhood rawks …in obamaville
Your comment is sadly hilariously true.
This is quite the snapshot of what most who comment here already surmised. Still, it’s sickening to have it verified in detail:
https://conservativebrief.com/afghan-evacuation-50403/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=55321
Excerpts:
Tensions in the temporary shelters had “flared,” the report said, “due to prolonged stays and unpredictable exit dates.” At the Army base, “single males, including former Afghan military” had become unruly “and contraband weapons have been confiscated.” Overwhelmed, neither base was testing Afghan evacuees for the coronavirus.
“Refugees pushed their way onto airplanes. Hundreds of children were separated from their parents. Rogue flights landed without manifests. Security vetting of refugees was done in hours or days, rather than months or years,” the Times added.
Rogue flights landing without manifests…true heroes…Biden admin is warped….we got to get rid of them
JoeBama administration has a well concealed plan to advance their agenda. They still have three years and five months and according to their assessments they are doing an extraordinary job. It will only get worse and we are now going from crisis to crisis. The media partners of the democrat Marxist party are so happy they got real news to report about and not Trump tweets. What a disgraceful state of affairs.
Biden admin has screwed this nation SO hard already….they’ be got to go..
The U.S State Department does NOT represent the American people. It is time to throw these traitors OUT of government and into federal prison where they belong.
History did not begin 7 months ago. The Pentagon has been lying about just about everything Afghan for over 19 years, getting around 2,500 of their own American troops killed, with thousands more now missing one or more limbs, to satisfy the Bourbon Generals hubris and vanity, for nothing achieved for America even remotely worth that terrible price, so how can it be that the man with an estimated IQ of 72, who doesn’t even know where he is at more than half the time, let alone where he is going, and so prone to wander off in random directions, can possibly have all the blood on his two hands?
It does takes a village, as well as many years, to bloody screw things up this bad and the Pentagon is most of that village.
Blinken= Twinkie. Spongy on the outside filled with ersatz toxic creme on the inside.
Mayorkis …DHS…even worse
This story makes me wanna cry. I can’t believe this. Then that dough boy says at the end “compelling story” What?!!! People belong in jail for treason, like yesterday. Freaking deserters.
I’m surprised the Murdoch spawn approved of this “compelling” interview. What’s in it for them and their fellow elitists?
Throw Biden out! He is not an elected President. I am more of a President than he is. This is horrible. Those Americans need to be saved and brought home now.
This brought me to tears.
What a humble, noble, capable representative.
God bless congressman Mullin for what he has done with getting the Afghan & American peeps out of that hell hole. So awesome. Fake pResident Xiden and sec of state Blinken have blood on their hands for this awful mishandling of the Afghanistan pullout
Reptilian Baer can’t hide his green undertone here. Markwayne should ask Brett if HE feels the blood on his hands. This is partly his fault for assisting that creature into the WH on election night.

No comment. I’m all out of outrage, disgust, and snark for the day. Handing it off to fellow Treepers…
Milley spews more utter nonsense:

Great interview! Rep. Mullin is a good guy. Bret Baier is typical of what FOX has devolved into. Complete pos
And it just keeps on coming…

Milley’s only area of expertise seems to be in his Jihad against “white rage”.
W-A-L-B-S
As Sundance posted recently, where are all the pics and video of happy reunions of those US citizens that were able to return to the USA?
That is so true, just for optics one needs the reunions.
Must thank Sundance etal for a place to ask questions, learn about what questions to ask in conversations to attempt to red pill so more people.
TY for the video Sundance.
These two memes say it all.
.
Side note, since Tajikistan keeps being mentioned.
Please pay attention to what’s going on in Tajikistan. It’s where “diplomats” from U.S., Russia, China, Iran, Pakistan, et al. have secret meetings that seem to be reported nowhere.
I have not been a Mullin fan but I can say that interview brought tears of rage to my eyes!! What kind of evil people have been installed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue by even more evil people?
Heartbreaking was exactly the word I was going to say after hearing this. I do not give a damn what happens between now and 2022, every campaign ad for every race must contain Americans left behind to die because that is exactly what the O’Biden Admin and all the Democrats in the Senate and Congress did. I am not too happy with the Reps on this but kudos to this man for going there and doing what he could. They severely miscalculated, they thought they could blame Pres Trump and it would be all on him but no ONE bought that and now they are trying to rewrite what we just witnessed with our own two eyes. Do not let them.
Sundance, Thank You so much for presenting this interview. I had only heard the MSM accounts of this story and they were so idiotic as to be beyond belief. The Congressman is a very modest and brave man, brimming over with empathy, common decency , and love for his fellow Americans. god Bless him and his family. I am so relieved to hear he is back safely.
And a pox on our scurvy State Department for not lifting a finger to help evacuate our People, in Kabul and apparently in Mosir al Sharif Airport where there are a number of airliners on the ground for over 7 days waiting for departure clearances to go through neighboring airspace.
This smacks of the hatefulness of one certain kenyan for america…..
