As Biden repeats claim that ‘nobody could have known’ Afghan Army would collapse, bombshell transcript from July reveals he pressured Afghan President Ghani to create ‘perception’ Taliban wasn’t winning ‘WHETHER IT’S TRUE OR NOT’

• • Reuters on Tuesday released excerpts from last call between Biden and Ghani before the Afghan president fled
  • They talked for about 14 minutes on July 23 as the Taliban advanced rapidly
  • Biden told his counterpart of a perception that the fight against the Taliban was not going well
  • ‘There is a need, whether it is true or not … to project a different picture,’ he said
  • Comments are indication Biden knew it was matter of time before Taliban won
  • In months leading up to withdrawal, Biden predicted pullout would go smoothly
  • Neither appeared to realize just how badly things would go
  • Less than four weeks later the Taliban had captured Kabul

“…President Joe Biden wanted the now-departed Afghan president to create the ‘perception’ that his government was capable of holding off the Taliban – an indication he knew it was only a matter of time before the US ally fell to the Islamic group even while reassuring Americans at home that it would not happen.

In the last phone call between Biden and his Afghan then-counterpart Ashraf Ghani, the American president said they needed to change perceptions of the Taliban‘s rapid advance ‘whether it is true or not,’ according to excerpts published on Tuesday.

The call took place on July 23 – weeks before the fall of Kabul – but Biden on Tuesday repeated his assertion that his team was caught flat-footed by the rapid Taliban takeover of the country…”

I am so old I can remember when President Trump was impeached for a second time over a phone call with a foreign leader and that was a lot less onerous than this. Of course, Biden is a Democrat, so…

Nothing to see here: Psaki REFUSES to discuss Joe’s leaked call with ex-Afghanistan President that reveals Biden KNEW Afghan army was collapsing, because it was ‘private’

• • ‘The content of the reporting is consistent with what we have said many times publicly,’ Psaki told reporters Wednesday
  • Biden focused much of his last  call with Ghani on his ‘perception problem’ in the fight against the Taliban
  • ‘Changing perception’ is political spin, not a national security strategy,’ Rep. Jody Hice said
  • Biden pressed Ghani to bring together the government’s most prominent figures for a press conference. ‘That will change perception’
  • Biden said the US would provide aid if Ghani could project to the world that he ‘had a plan’ for fighting the Taliban
  • Republicans have called for Biden’s impeachment over Afghanistan, but Mitch McConnell on Tuesday threw cold water on the idea

“…Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Roger Pardo-Maurer said the U.S. Department of Defense already knew who the bomber was ahead of time, before the bombing and when and where the Kabul attack would occur — the Abbey Gate was at “highest risk.”

Pardo-Maurer went further in his interview. He said not only did they know where and when it would happen, but that they had a Predator drone lock on the bomber.

“Permission to shoot was requested and was denied by the Taliban. Because we are in this process of negotiating with the Taliban who aren’t even in control of their own government or their own people.”…”

I don’t know if this is true or not.

Check Out What the Biden Administration Just Did to Websites Listing Weapons It Gave to the Taliban

“…Just after the fall of Kabul, the Taliban started turning up in U.S. uniforms, carrying U.S. rifles, and riding in U.S. vehicles. They started showing off a Black Hawk helicopter they’d captured. It soon became clear that when the Taliban overran the Afghan military, it also snapped up all of that military’s gear. It also grabbed all of the gear the U.S. military left behind at Bagram Air Base and other posts as it hastily retreated. Joe Biden insists he and his high command, including generals who wear medal clusters so enormous you could serve a pizza on them, planned for all this. But did they? Did they plan to arm the Taliban?

One question now is: Did they plan for the ongoing cover-up?

Forbes reports that the State Department is telling other federal agencies to scrub their websites of lists of weapons the U.S. provided the Afghan military over the years.

According to an admission obtained from the State Department, Biden officials recently directed federal agencies to scrub their websites of official reports detailing the $82.9 billion in military equipment and training provided to the Afghan security forces since 2001.

The scrubbed audits and reports included detailed accounting of what the U.S. had provided to Afghan forces, down to the number of night vision devices, hand grenades, Black Hawk helicopters, and armored vehicles.

Reports further quantified 208 aircraft and helicopters; 75,000 war vehicles – including 22 Humvees, 50,000 tactical vehicles and nearly 1,000 mine resistant vehicles; and 600,000 weapons – including 350,000 M4 and M16 rifles, 60,000 machine guns, and 25,000 grenade launchers.

The Biden administration claims it’s scrubbing weapons information, including some reports that are several years old, to protect those it left stranded in Afghanistan. That’s laughable.

When the news that the Taliban had captured so much of our gear first broke, it caused your humble correspondent to ask a shocking question: Is Joe Biden now the world’s greatest terrorist arms supplier? Is Lunch Pail Joe a notorious terrorist gun-runner?

This graphic made the rounds on social media. It depicts just how well-armed the Taliban are now. They reportedly have more helicopters than about 85% of the countries in the world.

The Biden administration left all this behind and now wants federal agencies to hide the truth from the American taxpayers who paid for it. They were a little slow covering their tracks after their hasty retreat.

Donald Trump was impeached for a whole lot less than arming a terrorist group with just about everything it could possibly want and then giving it a country.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan appeared on MSNBC earlier Wednesday and refused to even call the Taliban an “enemy.” He failed to come up with a suitable word for the terrorist group that succored the architects of 9-11 and is reportedly going house-to-house to kill anyone who worked with the United States over the past 20 years.

In a darkly and ironically humorous note to all this, the Taliban are upset and want the world to know that they feel betrayed — by Biden. He failed to leave some of the U.S. gear in working order…”

It seems like there is considerable international and U.S. data indicating the vaccines are more of a therapy than a vaccine. A therapy with relatively short lived efficacy that requires boosters every 6 to 8 months. The list of side effects is significant and greater than any previous vaccine approved in the U.S. Natural immunity has been shown by multiple studies to be better against variants, longer lasting, and more robust protection.

All this for a virus with an infection fatality rate less than 1% in people younger than 70.

If you are conservative and felt the drift away from conservative values evidenced in the paleo-conservative press, well then you should read this piece by Emerald Robinson in its entirety. I excerpted the first paragraph below. The bad decisions by anti-Trump conservatives spanned the entire gamut of life experiences for these poor souls. There is one simple truth that came from all of this, and that is that Donald Trump’s great power was to cause otherwise normal people to self destruct.

How The National Review Sold Its Soul to Google

Emerald Robinson:

“…There were rumors in the summer of 2018 that an audiotape was circulating that would send shockwaves through the think tanks of Washington and the conservative intellectual movement in particular. A top Google executive had been recorded telling his fellow employees that Google generously donated to conservative think tanks and magazines to dampen criticism of their anti-conservative bias. In essence, Google was buying off Conservatism Inc. and the GOP establishment to stay silent while Google monitored, harassed, and excluded Trump supporters. If true, the tape sounded like a smoking gun: incontrovertible evidence of the corruption and double-dealing of Conservatism Inc. that would permanently discredit it with Republican voters…”

Home. A permanent place of residence especially as a member of a family or household. This is how I thought of the cabin. A place of family and memories. A place of permanence, strength, and shelter. As with all things in life, this was only partly true, for the only thing permanent is change. And change came in August 2021. The cabin was consumed by wildfire. Loss of the cabin was an emotional blow. A blow that caused me to reflect on the foundation of things. Things that we have – blessings, really. We have health, happiness, family, friends, and memories.

Memories. Of these, I have many.

Sitting on the deck in the early afternoon of a warm August day. A cool breeze blowing through the trees. Cars rushing by on the highway on their way to Tahoe or points east. The fresh and invigorating smell of the pine forest. The dappled rays of light penetrating down through the canopy of green branches. Firewood. The creaky, leaning, old building flexing under my feet. Cool water at the sink. The soot-stained stones of the fireplace. The old gas wall heater. Old copies of National Geographic magazines. The small humorous sketch books of skiing in the bathroom. The small shower. Coming down the steep stairs in the middle of the night in pitch blackness to pee. The barkless tree branch you grabbed as you climbed the stairs and the way it flexed with your weight.

I remember talking with Lee Ann in the kitchen while I helped her with some cooking chore. Playing dominoes with Ralph out on the deck. Working on the foundation for the deck extension along the front of the cabin. Painting windows and other household chores. I remember hikes around Echo Lake and taking the ferry boat back to the dock. Walks among the neighbor cabins and down by the stream. Talking about the different cabins we saw in the area. Lee Ann would bring me a drink out on the deck. A water glass full of ice and bourbon. I’d say, “holy cow, Lee Ann, I can’t drink all that!” And then I would, and then I’d get another. I remember Austin running around like a crazy boy, doing things grandma asked him not to do, and then getting a talking to. I remember the dogs. Dinner around the kitchen table. Sleeping upstairs. Slabbing the red fir that fell with Tommy and Ralph and Jon.

Deep memories that bring me comfort.

Goodbye old cabin. I loved you.

In Response To Afghanistan Disaster, Pelosi Begins Impeachment Proceedings Against President Trump

“…WASHINGTON, D.C.—Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has announced Congress will be taking action immediately as the situation in Afghanistan rapidly deteriorates. To hold those responsible for the evacuation debacle, Congress will consider articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

“Good morning, Thursday morning,” Pelosi said during a press conference this morning, which was Thursday morning. “We’re facing a dire situation in Afghanistan, and that means we as Congress need to do our duty to hold those responsible accountable for their horrible, horrible actions. That’s why, effective immediately, I’m introducing articles of impeachment against the president. President Donald Trump.”

Pelosi says Trump being impeached a third time won’t actually accomplish anything. But, she says, it will send a clear message to Trump that she doesn’t like him, which is the important thing. “He didn’t get the message the first two times,” she said. “Now the world will know for sure that the orange man truly is bad.”

“The walls are closing in. We got him this time.”

Trump says he welcomes the impeachment as he will be the first president in the history of the world to be acquitted three times. “That’s huge!” he said, addressing his supporters on the few social networks that have not yet banned him. “Sleepy Joe hasn’t even been acquitted once. Sad and pathetic!”
