Jen Psaki’s taking a lid at the same time as Joe Biden has gone into hiding and as Afghanistan is falling into the hands of the Taliban.
Questions to Psaki’s email from Fox News were returned with an automatic reply, stating that the voice of the White House would not be available for the next week.
“I will be out of the office from August 15th-August 22nd,” read the email returned to Fox News. Instead, Psaki’s reply directs the press to reach out to other press officers in her absence.
I am surprised she didn’t direct the calls to Kamala Harris. Kamala’s probably the new csar of Afghanistan along with her duties as border csar and csar of the homeless.
We found Biden. He is at Camp David pretending he’s dealing with the Taliban problem but where’s his staff in the photo below? He’s probably just looking over his checking account.

The administration said the shelter in place order for Americans stranded in Afghanistan was to keep the numbers at the airport from exploding, and that the gunfire around the airport is sporadic.
Maybe yes, maybe no. That’s better news but is it true?
At Least Sen. Cotton is trying to help any Americans who might be stranded in Afghanistan. They would be in danger of being kidnapped or killed.

Another remark I find appalling is people like Blinken when talking about bringing those who attacked us to “Justice”. Why can’t anyone say, They attacked us and we’re going there to wipe them out, kill them, or something similar. Most people think of justice as bringing someone in front of a judge.
The Administration Vacated their leadership role.

The media constantly talks about Al-Qaeda as if that’s a singular, unique terrorist entity. You have them, but there are many more “entities” that are part of one grand organization, the Muslim Brotherhood. Early on the Russians were behind many terrorist activities. It was the Beslan massacre that convinced Russia to fight against the terrorists, such as the Chechens.
Because the US was so focused on the ‘name’, Al-Qaeda, they believed eliminating them would end global terrorism. There have been warnings over the years that doing widespread attacks will only recruit even more terrorists. For a country that has a rather large religious community, one would think they would understand the religious zealotry that accompanies different groups.
Rather Odd. There might be a question whether that W.H.picture of Camp David was current.

Two planes with invalid transponders in Kabul.
Crenshaw makes the claim many pro-War members say, That we “prevented” another 9-11. It wasn’t the main Taliban forces that did 9-11. It’s the same stupidity that “we fight them over there, so we don’t have to fight them here”. If we would have had effective immigration policies, those hijackers would have been deported. It’s been immigration that has been the failure in terrorists actions in the past 20 years. Crenshaw also misunderstands the Afghan fighters. Did he forget that the Taliban wasn’t in full control when we went there. I forget the name, there was an Afghan commander that kept the Taliban at bay for some time. When we first went there with the CIA they worked with that commander. So, for Crenshaw to say we couldn’t develop a fighting force in twenty years is misguided.
From the Civilian side.
