I see … thx for clarification

Taliban execute a folk singer - BEFORE they took over...

'There is no islamic music.' noted a taliban expert. Odd that, given the remarkable history of music in the Middle East - even the invention of a number of musical instruments, like the Al lhud - AKA the lute.

An Afghan interpreter that helped rescue then-Sen. Joe Biden and two other senators from Afghanistan thirteen years ago is now pleading with the president to rescue him and his family, warning that the Taliban will likely kill him on sight.

In 2008, the man known only as Mohammed was part of a team that helped ensure Joe Biden’s safety after their Black Hawk helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing during a snowstorm.

Taliban insurgents had been spotted in the remote Afghan valley around the same time.

Thirteen years later, with Biden in the driver’s seat, Mohammed is asking the president to return the favor.

"Do not forget me and my family," said Mohammed, while speaking by telephone to "Fox & Friends First" co-host Jillian Mele.

Karma, Joe. Two scoops. What goes around, comes around.

Ironically, it seems that this person should be rewarded despite intentions by the Taliban. Bin Laden directed to leave Two Scoops untouched and that he would do more harm to the US as such. And not only that, he was a boon to the Taliban in leaving billions in gear. Outcome of this was very favorable to Taliban.....

It will be telling what Two Scoops does here....

For the record. My position on this does not change.

I am glad they were brought out.

^^^I did NOT mean to imply any lesser value, or minimize the worth of this noble endeavor....Just correcting the record in that they were NOT the 'Working Dogs' abandoned by the Biden Administration that were recently 'in the news'!

Rescuing innocent animals and finding them forever homes is ALWAYS a good thing, and such acts of kindness should be lauded.

No one here is the bad guy. Just the feckless angry old crook.

I did not take it that way.

Only rebutting the media and other sources that are trying to defend or otherwise reduce the issue that somehow it is different because the animals did not have an I.D. card.

As if, they are less important for not being Military Working Dogs. So they even stoop to "de-animalizing" animals...

I realize that is what the leftist do, move the goalposts, lie, deflect, project, ad nauseum. Reducing the "value" of life, that it makes if OK to forsake them.

If they do it to an animal, they will do it to humanity. This we already see and know. It needs to be a constant reminder, like work safety, everyone knows it, but it has to be constantly expressed.

It is despicable, that they never stop.

Nor, will I.

^^^Agree with the both of the previous posts....Wholeheartedly!

"A look at the racial and ethnic profile of active duty service members shows that while the majority of the military is non-Hispanic white, black and Hispanic adults represent sizable and growing shares of the armed forces. In 2017, 57% of U.S. service members were white, 16% were black and 16% were Hispanic. Some 4% of all active duty personnel were Asian and an additional 6% identified as “other” or unknown.

The most current racial #'s

White alone, percent 76.3%
Black or African American alone, 13.4%
American Indian and Alaska Native alone,1.3%
Asian alone, 5.9%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone,0.2%
Two or More Races, 2.8%
Hispanic or Latino,18.5%
White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, 60.1%

I wonder what he is talking about ??

Kirby, as Rear Admiral you were the Navy's Chief of Information Officer (CHINFO), what did YOU do to help diversity? If we're going to dismantle things, lets start with you first and make some discoveries....

Well there really isn't anything else going on, as far as he's concerned.

Military is voluntary, right?

How on earth did the US defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan without any diversity tweets? And didn't anyone care about the climate back then? Well, take notice racism and all you hot changing climates, you're about to get tweeted back into the stone age, there's a new military in charge now.

If this is true, and John Solomon is a good reporter so I have no reason not to think it is, Biden and the top brass need to go. Like now.

Exclusive: In Secret Texts, U.S. Military Officials Lamented Leaving Americans Behind In Kabul

"We are f*cking abandoning American citizens," an Army colonel assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division wrote Sunday in frustration in a series of encrypted messages that detailed the failed effort to extricate a group of American citizens, hours before the last U.S. soldiers departed Afghanistan.

If Just The News indeed got those texts and emails from Michael Yon, I'd bet the bank on them being accurate.

Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill want to know why President Joe Biden lied to the American people in early July when he said it was "unlikely" the Taliban would take over Afghanistan. They also want to know why Biden asked former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to lie on his behalf and falsely state the Taliban was being held off while the Afghan army was getting slaughtered.

In order to get answers for the American people, Republicans introduced an amendment to put the intelligence community Inspector General to work.

Right on cue House Democrats, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are blocking accountability and efforts to find out what exactly led up to the disastrous U.S. departure from the country.

Democrats are blocking all @GOP oversight attempts to investigate the incompetence of the Biden Admin in #Afghanistan.

They just blocked an amendment by @RepJamesComer requiring the IG to report on whether the Admin ignored intel on the Taliban and on suicide bombings.

Meanwhile, Biden is also moving on and will spend the weekend in Delaware
