Like many Americans, I was so embarrassed this day. I wonder if the outcome would have been any different, with different leadership. A year later citizens and allies are still fighting for their lives every day. On Aug.31,21 Biden again promised to “help American citizens leave” Afghanistan. A year later has that promise also been broken?

Direct Quotes:

Taliban supporters in the eastern Afghanistan city of Khost were seen pouring onto the streets and carrying out a mock funeral procession for the US and its allies.

The victory parade in Khost also included mock prayers over makeshift co ns that were draped with US, UK, French, and NATO  fags, per Reuters.

"August 31 is our formal Freedom Day. On this day, American occupying forces and NATO forces fled the country," said Taliban official Qari Saeed Khosti to local television station Zhman TV.

Militant fighters also commemorated the US troops' withdrawal by posing for pictures in the cockpits of Afghan Air Force planes that were once used in the fight against them.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday said 100 to 200 US citizens are still in Afghanistan, and said the US will continue to help Americans who want to leave the country to get out. President Joe Biden made the same promise to help American citizens leave Afghanistan in his address to the nation on Tuesday.

However, it is estimated that around 60,000 Afghan interpreters and US allies have been left behind in Afghanistan. This includes an interpreter who helped rescue Biden and former Sens. John Kerry and Chuck Hagel during a snowstorm back in 2008.

I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag.

  https://time.com/4297996/hillary-clinton-hot-sauce/ I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag. The Time tries to cover for Hillary Clinton boasting about the health benefits and her collection of hot sauces. If that is true why not say that in the interview? Actually after this comment she was told people are going to think you’re pandering to the black community where she said “is it working”. Direct Quotes: In a radio interview Monday morning, Hillary Clinton was asked to name something she carries with her everywhere she goes. “Hot sauce,” she answered. “Yeah.” The Clinton campaign has confirmed to TIME the type and brand of hot sauce now toted by the Democratic front runner for the presidential nomination: Ninja Squirrel, a Sriracha from the in-house brand of Texas-based Whole Foods Market. “And we continue to carry chili flakes and jalapeños around,” says Clinton campaign spokesperson Nick Merrill. Clinton was speaking to one of New York’s largest hip-hop and R&B stat...

Joe Biden should take the same test.

https://www.nytimes.com/article/trump-cognitive-test.html Joe Biden should take the same test. The media, including the Washington Post, continued to down play the difficulty of the test and even said the test is too “blunt” of an instrument and for most people it’s too “easy” and “the test is not that difficult”. If that is true, then the genius that is president now should have no problem! Direct Quote: But it is by no means definitive, or even diagnostic, experts pointed out. And as the president tries to draw a contrast between his mental faculties and those of Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., a fellow septuagenarian he expects to face off against in November’s election, some experts criticize his politicization of such cognitive screening tests. “You would think he would understand clearly what the test result was and why the test was done,” Dr. Karlawish said, “and not turn it into a competition about mental health.” This screening test was designed about 20 years ago as a pos...
