For the past couple of weeks I have been attempting to draw attention to this segment from a June 23rd congressional hearing.  Given the events of the last 24 hours, that specific segment gains a higher level of importance. {Direct Rumble Link}  PLEASE WATCH:

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley:

“Bagram is not necessary, tactically or operationally for what we are going to try to do here with Afghanistan. Consolidate on Kabul in defense of their government“.

BACKGROUND: People have wondered how the Biden administration could get the collapse of Afghanistan so horribly wrong and botched completely the withdrawal of U.S. forces. To that point there is a little known Question and Answer session by Colorado Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO, CD05) that deserves some attention.

On June 23rd, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley testified in front of the House Armed Services Committee about their budget requests. Rep Doug Lamborn took this opportunity, he only had 4 minutes, to ask some very specific questions about Afghanistan and his concerns for early reports of the Taliban surging back into control.

On August 19, 2021, Joe Biden revealed his “Knock On Wood” strategy for Kabul airport operations.

On August 26, 2021, 12 U.S. Military Servicemembers were killed, 15 wounded.

The ‘knock on wood’ strategy did not work.

There is no distinguishing ideological difference between ISIS, ISIS-K, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, The Islamic State or the Taliban.  All media who are reporting on a difference between the groups are only parsing the situation, attempting to make it appear complex, and obfuscating on behalf of the Biden administration.

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:

Two suicide bombing attacks in Kabul have resulted in American, allied and civilian casualties.  Both blasts were just outside the gates of the Kabul International Airport.  One detonation at the “Abbey Gate”, and the second detonation appears to have happened between the Baron Hotel and the “Baron Gate” entrance.

There are U.S., U.K. and civilian casualties.  The Associated Press is reporting 13 fatalities. Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby confirmed some of the original, albeit sketchy, details:

♦ Associated Press – KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Two suicide bombers and gunmen targeted crowds massing near the Kabul airport Thursday, in the waning days of a massive airlift that has drawn thousands of people seeking to flee the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. At least 13 people were killed and 15 wounded, Russian officials said.

A U.S. official said the complex attack was “definitely believed” to have been carried out by the Islamic State group, whose affiliate in Afghanistan grew out of disaffected Taliban members who hold an even more extreme view of Islam.

At least 13 people died and 15 were wounded, according to Russia’s Foreign Ministry, which gave the first official casualty count. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby also confirmed the blasts, saying one was near an airport entrance and another was a short distance away by a hotel.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

To say COVID fear is running amok in Australia would be the understatement of the year.  Rather than add my own editorial to their announcements, it is much more effective to read their own words.  None of this is a spoof, everything in quotes is exactly as proclaimed by officials and compliant media.  You cannot make this stuff up folks.  [New South Wales Article] – [Queensland Article]

♦ The Premier of the New South Wales directorate (Sydney area) is Comrade Premier Gladys Berejiklian.  She has announced a magnanimous position to relieve the stress upon the year long lockdowns.  As the Australian news is reporting:

(Via NINE NEWS) […] “From September 13, households living in the NSW government’s LGAs of concern will be allowed to spend an additional hour of recreation outdoors, as long as all adults in the household are fully vaccinated.  This is on top of the already-permitted hour of exercise, meaning households will be able to visit a park, Ms Berejiklian said.  However, people must take this hour within the current and ongoing curfew hours, which will continue.” [9pm to 5am]

“Outside the LGAs of concern, through the rest of Greater Sydney and regional NSW, five people will be allowed to gather outdoors, as long as all adults are fully vaccinated.”

“People who live alone can nominate one designated family member or friend to visit for companionship. However, “Singles bubbles” will be required to be registered on nsw.gov.au” (read more)

Masks are mandatory everywhere outside the home except for when exercising. Authorized workers must carry a New South Wales essential workers permit and present their papers at each checkpoint during travel or transit.

♦ Moving slightly north to the Queensland Directorate, they are proud to announce a new COVID Quarantine Camp being built to the West of Brisbane in a place near Toowoomba.

The original claim of the scientific medical community, in their advocacy for “vaccine passports”, was that vaccinated persons were less likely to transmit the virus.

That narrative only lasted until studies showed that vaccinated persons carried a much larger amount of viral load and shed the virus at a more significant rate….

…So they shifted the vaccine passport narrative goalposts, and said everyone needed to show proof of vaccinations because, safer, or something.

Now, in another collapse of the vaccine passport narrative, a large study comparing vaccinated immunity to non-vaccinated natural immunity shows:

CONCLUSION – “This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity.

Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta variant.” [Data Link Here]

If the natural immunity is the preferred and more effective immunity, then why would anyone need a vaccine ID?
