Despicable. I don’t know what else to say. Other than that I hold the Biden Administration in utter contempt. What fools.

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.

Afghanistan

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…”

Tell us some more about how great the vaccine is and how everyone should get it

https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1432836268715614208

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.

I think we have drifted into insanity

If you listened to the fixed eye blank stare speeches of Biden and Blinken and the preposterous Baghdad Bob performances of the administrations’ media handlers, you’d think Afghanistan was an historic American success. It was an historic American failure. The final act of which was perpetrated on the American people by the current group of morons in charge of our government.

Click over for the whole depressing thing. Only media dimwits and administration flunkies believe the crap put out by Biden and his advisors.

The conservative intellectual movement in America didn’t just fail. It aided and abetted the Left for money. The Left bought off the Right’s leading conservative intellectuals. And its think tanks. And its “flagship” magazines.

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…”

Reflections on the loss of an old cabin

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.

Don’t worry congressional Democrats have their finger on the pulse of America…

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!”

Department of Education to become mask Gestapo (perverse)

The Morning Briefing: Biden Weaponizes Dept. of Education to Become the COVID Mask Gestapo

“…The mask fetishists have really been letting their freak flags fly under the cover that Biden’s Afghanistan cock-up has been giving them. They get creepier by the hour. Seriously, these people need to be rounded up and put in some sort of leper colony for fascists. They will be free to keep the masks on their enraged faces all they want.

They’re empowered by a government that is now in the hands of people who are all too casual about using its might against any citizens who don’t agree with them. I’m not talking about criminals, I’m talking about law-abiding Americans who are merely running afoul of the liberal narrative du jour. We saw it happen when Barack Obama was president and he sent the IRS after conservative tea party groups…”

and

“…In case you were under the impression that every government institution isn’t irreparably infiltrated by liberty-hating scum, I regret to inform you that the Department of Education has launched an obviously political hit-job disguised as an “investigation” into the last five free states in America for rejecting mask mandates for schoolchildren. It’s not enough for our overlords that a vast majority of the United States forces kindergartners to inhale their own carbon dioxide through snot-filled rags for six hours a day, but every single state must comply with the unscientific masking mandates to stop the spread of COVID—or they will be punished with lawfare and government agency-directed witch hunts.

For the record, there isn’t one current study that shows masking had any effect on the transmission of the virus. In fact, the CDC was caught with its pants down after hiding the fact that one of its own studies showed that masks in schools don’t do anything significant to “slow the spread”of COVID. But you are to ignore the facts in favor of the feelings of hysterical people who want to control you and what you wear on your face for the rest of your life because… just do it, peasant!…”

California Democrats pulling out all the stops to save Newsom

Scandal As Newsom Campaign Produces Old Yearbook Photo Showing Larry Elder In Blackface

“…SACRAMENTO, CA—Larry Elder’s campaign for governor of California was thrown into turmoil today after Gavin Newsom’s anti-recall campaign produced never-before-seen yearbook photos showing Larry Elder wearing blackface.

“This is beyond the pale,” said French Chef Pierre D’issoir, who is running Newsom’s campaign. “Not only is Larry Elder totally a white supremacist, but we now have proof that he wore blackface as a young man in college! Absolument honteux!”

Newsom will be spending $12 million in predominately black areas of Southern California to remind black voters that Elder is a fake black person—and that pasty white millionaire, winery owner, and French cuisine connoisseur Gavin Newsom is a better choice for the black community than Larry Elder.

“Sometimes we need to spend millions of dollars to remind minorities what’s best for them,” said Newsom. “Right now, what’s best for them is being locked in their homes and given forced vaccinations. Larry Elder will try to come in and offer to lower their taxes, give them jobs, and heal their communities, but the thing that really matters here is that he wore blackface.”

The scandal deepened later that afternoon when Larry Elder made an appearance, still wearing blackface…”
