The White House Hopes We Can All Forget Afghanistan (And The Press Will Help)

“Look, we’ve closed the chapter on Afghanistan. And now we’re committed to America. We want to put the past behind us and are committed to build back better and infrastructure.” “We want to focus on people, on jobs, on working-class Americans struggling to pay the bills.” “We’re not dwelling on the past.” None of these are quotes — yet. Already by the time you read this, that might have changed. Because even while the frantic Kabul evacuation effort was ongoing the White House preferred to talk about anything at all other than their deadly and disastrous retreat. And we all heard Tuesday afternoon’s angry, 20-minute speech by the ...
Conrad Black: Evicting Donald Trump was clearly a catastrophe
Post Date: 2021-08-31 20:21:13 by tankumo

Seven months into the Biden regime, the truism that dare not speak its name is now almost too obvious to bear stating. It was a catastrophic error to evict Donald Trump. No one, and certainly not I, would try to whitewash the stylistic infelicities of Donald Trump. He said many things that were toe-curlingly embarrassing coming from the holder of so great an office. But he proved in government as he had in the private sector that he was capable and forceful, and although he had the terrible handicap of personalizing everything and escalating all disagreements, he had a clear conception of domestic and foreign national interests and pursued them very successfully. Despite the frenzied, ...
Joe Biden’s Presidency Has Gone Off The Rails And The Democratic Party Will Pay For It

Well, I certainly picked the wrong week to go on vacation. Normally you don’t have to worry about much going down news-wise in August, so I’ve typically taken a week there and the week after Christmas off in nearly a decade of writing this newsletter … and I cannot think of a single time I’ve done that where I felt more absent or overwhelmed by the amount of news I saw flying by every single day. Today the White House faces a massive crush of challenges, both thanks to the world and of their own making. Their pandemic response has stalled, and they’re desperately throwing out impotent mandate threats — their vaunted plans proven incapable of returning the ...
Our military and our allies no longer trust Biden

President Biden has lost the trust of the military, our allies — and the American people. In April, the president promised that troops would come home from Afghanistan “responsibly, deliberately, and safely,” downplaying any risk associated with withdrawal. Today, he says the “evacuation of thousands of people from Kabul was going to be hard and painful no matter when it started, when we began.” After a Kabul airport attack that killed 13 American servicemen, at least 90 Afghans, Biden has done nothing but deflect responsibility for the biggest foreign policy blunder in decades. Even as the president was telling ................
As Newsom Recall Vote Looms, Corporations Are Fleeing California On The Double

California voters have started casting their ballots on their second gubernatorial recall ever and their first in 18 years, deciding whether to give Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom a new lease on his political life. Polling shows the recall on a knife’s edge. At the time of this writing, “Yes” — remove — narrowly leads with 48 percent of Californians polled, while 46 percent plan to vote “No.” Both are within the poll’s margin of error. If the recall passes, whoever has the most votes on the second question will replace Newsom, with longtime conservative radio talk show host Larry Elder out front with a lead of 11 percent. I was running for the ...
Panicked Democrats switch from 'defund' to 'refund' the police

It was short, and it wasn’t sweet. a man wearing a suit and tie© Provided by Washington Examiner The Democratic Party’s quest to defund police forces, an act in which it kowtowed to its hard-left-wing base, has come to a very bitter end. The resulting surge in violent crime has produced a massive public backlash that threatens the careers of elected Democrats throughout the nation. Naturally, the endangered species is trying to distance itself swiftly from the wreckage that “defund the police” has left behind. The mayors of Portland and Seattle, who respectively slashed police funding by $15 million and $7.5 million last year, are now moving to restore those ...
Enough is Enough: Antifa Attacks Reporter in Portland

This past Sunday, while covering a protest in Portland, Oregon for our video partner News2Share, a reporter named Maranie Staab was attacked by members of an Antifa-affiliated group. After complaining about a report she’d done in Colombia in conjunction with TK News, they maced her, shot paint at her, and threw her to the ground. The backdrop for this scene was explained to TK readers this past weekend in our latest episode of “Activism, Uncensored” called “The Great American Fistfight.” After a series of violent street clashes between left and right activists in Los Angeles, right-wing protesters planned a “United We Win” rally in Portland, Oregon for ...
The Afghanistan Debacle Is Exposing President Biden’s Descent Into Unreality

Americans are stranded in Afghanistan. That’s a fact. You don’t have to have special military clearance to know it, or access to classified information, or be in contact with Americans in Kabul or elsewhere in Afghanistan. All you have to do is follow the news. For days now, reports coming out of Afghanistan have chronicled the dire situation of Americans unable to get to the airport in Kabul, unable to get past Taliban checkpoints outside the airport, and unable to get through the airport gates because of the desperate and sometimes deadly mobs gathered there. Members of Congress are even sharing information on social media about Americans trapped in Kabul, some of them ...
The Only Way Back To Deterrence Is Firing Biden’s Entire National Security Team

The Taliban’s seizure of Afghanistan — emboldened by President Joe Biden’s senseless decision to rush U.S troops out of the country without a plan — blindsided the Afghan government, the Afghan military, and America’s allies. This reckless decision has led to bipartisan criticism in the United States and from our global allies, and ridicule by America’s adversaries. Biden’s attempts to blame everyone but himself for this fiasco, his refusal to take press questions for nearly a week (except from sycophantic George Stephanopoulos), and his decision to hide at Camp David while these events unfolded have only intensified criticism. As commander-in-chief, ...
Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal shows a disengaged, befuddled president
Post Date: 2021-08-22 14:25:12 by tankumo
1 Comments
Shortly after President Biden on Friday claimed that Americans had safe passage to the Kabul airport, and the Taliban weren’t harassing anyone, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told members of Congress that some Americans trying to escape had been beaten by the Taliban. The next day, the US Embassy in Kabul said it wasn’t safe to go to the airport. Which leaves two possibilities: Biden lied. Biden doesn’t know. It’s likely the latter. It’s not that Biden doesn’t lie, it’s that all of his statements and actions of the past week show a disengaged, befuddled president who doesn’t care about Americans and their allies in Afghanistan. He has waved away ...
When black Americans choose where to live, they choose GOP-run Texas, Florida, and Georgia

If you consult the likes of Paul Krugman or MSNBC, you'll hear that Texas, Florida, and Georgia are failed states, run into the ground by right-wing ideologues. Krugman points to Texas as an “indicator of the moral and intellectual collapse of American conservatism.” Democratic former congressman Beto O’Rourke has produced headlines such as this: "Beto O'Rourke: 'We are nearing a failed state in Texas' due to Republican leaders." And if you like Georgia, Texas, or Florida, it’s probably because you’re a white racist who likes white supremacist policies, the narrative goes. It might be jarring, then, for these New York-based commentators ...
Biden’s incompetence brought us chaos

ANALYSIS/OPINION: Instead of peace through strength, Joe Biden has chaos through incompetence. What is happening in Afghanistan is an absolute disaster. Worst of all, it could have been avoided—if not for the arrogance and ignorance of key members of the Biden administration. In an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, President Joe Biden said, “The idea that somehow, there’s a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing—-I don’t know how that happens.” Forgive me, but that is bulls—-. First, if Mr. Biden knew there would be this kind of chaos, why did he schedule a vacation for this time? They would have had a statement and a speech ...
Troubles Mount for the Biden Administration | Opinion

The fall of Afghanistan is a disaster for the Biden presidency, but it is far from the only one. The rise of inflation and the massive surge of illegal immigrants are sharp blows, too. In fact, Joe Biden's young presidency already faces an inflection point, as the simultaneous failure of so many major policies, foreign and domestic, suggest to many voters that the administration is incompetent. Voters are also beginning to reach a second, troubling conclusion: Biden is pursuing a very different policy agenda from the one he ran on. They thought they were electing a center-left candidate who would restore domestic calm and constitutional probity after the tumult of the Trump years. What ...
U.S. Hemorrhaging Money From Entitlement Fraud & Waste

Under the Biden administration, the United States is on the path toward becoming a welfare state fully entrenched in waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. President Biden plans to expand welfare to almost half of the country’s working adults through the deceptively named American Families Plan. If passed, it will allow the federal government to meddle in Americans’ everyday lives from birth to death. Meanwhile, every year, entitlement programs are spending tens of billions of taxpayer dollars improperly—either through inaccuracies, incompetence, or fraud. Government is already too big with too much waste. Current entitlement programs are rife with abuse. Their size and ...
Obama Freed The Taliban Leader Who Engineered Kabul Takeover

Former President Barack Obama didn’t listen to Pentagon officials when they told him Taliban mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa was too dangerous to release. Instead, he freed the group that came to be known as the ‘Gitmo five’ — Khairkhwa alongside four of his buddies — from the Guantanamo Bay prison in 2014 in exchange for a U.S. soldier who deserted his post. Obama all but guaranteed that Khairkhwa and the four other men would be sent to Qatar, where their movements would be restricted and where they could do no harm. As it turns out, the Taliban isn’t as trustworthy as the former president thought. Now, Khairkhwa has resurfaced as one of the masterminds behind ...

California Border Patrol agents fired upon from Mexico while detaining migrants in mountain range

Border Patrol agents in a California mountain range were fired upon from Mexico while taking a group of migrants found illegally entering the country into custody last week – another instance of violence against U.S. immigration officers at the border, yet no arrests have been made. At approximately 9 p.m. on Aug. 9, Border Patrol agents "were the target of multiple shots" near Otay Mountain, which contains the highest summit of the San Ysidro Mountains in San Diego County, according to a statement released Saturday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The barrage of bullets was unleashed on agents arresting a group of undocumented immigrants, about two miles east of the ...
Texas Supreme Court blocks mask mandates in Dallas, Bexar counties

The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily restricted Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins’ ability to enforce a mask mandate in schools and businesses, allowing Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order banning local leaders from implementing such mandates to stand. The entirely Republican Texas Supreme Court granted a temporary stay Sunday, at the request of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. But hearings on the matter will continue in lower courts as scheduled, though the Supreme Court could still issue a ruling. Bexar County, where the county seat is San Antonio, has a hearing Monday, and Dallas County has a hearing Aug. 24. Late Sunday, Dallas ISD ...

“What’s coming next is that we are going to have to continue to get people vaccinated so that right now, even in states in which you have a good relative proportion of people vaccinated, you have to get the overwhelming proportion of people vaccinated. But you also have to do mitigation. And that gets to the controversial issue of mask-wearing and the mandating of things mandating of vaccines, for example, for teachers and people in the personnel in the school, but also in situations as uncomfortable as we know and controversial as we know it is with regard to masks wearing, particularly in the situation in schools, we’ve just got to realize that we’re dealing with a ...

Gov. Groper is almost gone and Mayor Putz is moving toward the exit. Who says there’s no good news? Andrew Cuomo’s resignation and the term-limited end of Mayor de Blasio give New York state and city much-needed chances for fresh starts. While the slate isn’t wiped clean, the unusual near- simultaneous changes at the top create an opening to clean up the mess the two men helped create and reverse the sharp decline of recent years. Put it this way: Kathy Hochul in Albany and, presumably, Eric Adams in City Hall can’t screw up more than Cuomo and de Blasio. Over the last eight years, their performance confirmed them as the worst team of governor and mayor in modern ...
Critical Race Theory Aims To Murder The Souls Of White Children

(We should love everyone regardless of skin color, God does). A friend of mine told me a true apocryphal story. He is an old- fashioned “liberal” and a strong advocate of public education. The Covid-19 lockdowns left him additional time to inconspicuously sit in on his sixth-grade son’s online classes. One afternoon, he observed an assignment in an English class in which all the white students were required to place their arms beside a brown paper bag. The teacher, a white woman, asked if they noticed a difference in color between their skin and the brown paper bag. The white students verbally assented. The teacher then asked if the color of the bag looked close to the ...

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney chose to raise awareness recently about the most obvious thing in Washington: The Democrats’ control of the U.S. House of Representatives is in serious jeopardy. Politico’s story “House Dem campaign chief warns the majority at risk without message reboot” amplified Mr. Maloney’s cry for help but made it clear that Democrats are in serious denial about the dire situation they’ve created for themselves. Not only is history working against them - a new President’s party almost always loses seats in Congress in their first midterm election - but Democrats have the smallest majority ...
