"These are the times that try men's souls"
Dear Patriots,
While foreign affairs is not usually one of our concentrations, we are heartsick, frustrated, and furious over the developments in Afghanistan.
Please pray for the people of Afghanistan who have been abandoned and left in chaos.
Pray too that US military personnel, embassy staff, Afghanistan allies and journalists are able to evacuated before Taliban terrorists take the airfield.
The situation is grim.
This is a massive failure of the Biden Administration. Add it to the long list of travesties in the past 8 months.
President Biden, his Vice President and his Press Secretary are enjoying their vacations. The world is watching this disaster.
1- (Bari Weiss Substack- written by Kathy Gilsinan)
We Once Waltzed in Kabul
Quote: The U.S. abandoned my friends. Now they are trapped in Afghanistan and hiding from the Taliban.
Catastrophe. Calamity. Chaos. Humiliation. Tragedy.
All words that can be used to describe what we are witnessing right now in Afghanistan, 20 years since the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The most shameful and dishonorable part of this shameful and dishonorable exit is Washington's abandonment of those Afghans who helped us, trapped by American bureaucracy and now by the Taliban itself.
The email inbox for emergency visa requests for Afghans who worked with American forces has reportedly crashed. "This is murder by incompetence," said one former sergeant trying to get apply for Special Immigrant Visa on behalf of his Afghan counterpart.
2- Some of us have been questioning this long before November 3.

Obama's Former Ambassador to Afghanistan: I Question Biden's 'Ability to Lead Our Nation'
QUOTE: Ryan Crocker, who served as Obama's ambassador from 2011 to 2012, lamented that the Biden administration failed to see the Taliban's swift takeover when preparing for the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"I'm left with some grave questions in my mind about his ability to lead our nation as commander-in-chief," Crocker said. "To have read this so wrong – or, even worse, to have understood what was likely to happen and not care."
3- It blows our minds that this all happened in less than 8 months.
It is obvious that Biden is incapable of even the simpliest task. His administration is a puppet theater with its strings being pulled by communists and their corporate cabal.

Joe Biden's defeat will echo for eternity
QUOTE: It shouldn't really come as a surprise that President Biden and the geniuses surrounding him have made such an almighty hash of the withdrawal from that godforsaken country.
Look at everything else he has messed up.
4- Call your elected Republicans and tell them to stop giving any support to the failed Biden Administration. There is no reason, political or otherwise, to support any part of the Biden Agenda. Oppose it all.
The wonderful writer Angelo Codevilla lays out why.
(American Greatness)
The Silence of the Shepherds
Republican officials' timidity with regard to the outrages that the Democratic Party is committing against the American people under the Biden Administration dampens the American people's urge to resist. Their default of leadership helps the Democrats' seizure of long-term oligarchic power. The people's deep resentment, however, will follow whoever and whatever ventures offer protection. As ever, leadership falls to whomever actually leads.
5- This is good news in the fight against mandatory masks for school children.
(Just the News)
Texas Supreme Court backs Abbott on mask mandate, issues order against defiant school districts
QUOTE: The orders temporarily block the school districts from imposing mask mandates until the broader issue of the legality of Abbott's executive order is settled.
The Texas Supreme Court issued orders late Sunday blocking two defiant school districts from imposing mask mandates as students return to class, siding with Gov. Greg Abbott.
6- There is massive data that shows masks are useless. Make no mistake, masks are symbols of fear and compliance.
(Zero Hedge- originally published in City Journal)
Do Masks Work? A Review Of The Evidence
It's striking how much the CDC, in marshalling evidence to justify its revised mask guidance, studiously avoids mentioning randomized controlled trials. RCTs are uniformly regarded as the gold standard in medical research, yet the CDC basically ignores them apart from disparaging certain ones that particularly contradict the agency's position.
In a "Science Brief" highlighting studies that "demonstrate that mask wearing reduces new infections" and serving as the main public justification for its mask guidance, the CDC provides a helpful matrix of 15 studies—none RCTs. The CDC instead focuses strictly on observational studies completed after Covid-19 began.
In general, observational studies are not only of lower quality than RCTs but also are more likely to be politicized, as they can inject the researcher's judgment more prominently into the inquiry and lend themselves, far more than RCTs, to finding what one wants to find.
7- We highly recommend that you follow Alex Berenson on his Substack account. He is one of the very few who have reported honestly on the data since the beginning of Covid-CCP.
(Alex Berenson on Substack)
Gaslighting, a Covid love story
QUOTE: ....the promises of herd immunity have NOT come to pass. Cases in the United States are soaring. Hospitalizations and deaths are also rising.
Throughout July and August, vaccine advocates have tried to blame these trends on fact that the United States has not hit the vaccine benchmarks they hoped. They have incorrectly called this current outbreak a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
That argument has one problem. Israel and Britain - which have essentially reached the vaccination levels that advocates promised were necessary for herd immunity - are having even worse outbreaks this summer.
In Israel, 60 percent of the entire population and 80 percent of adults are fully vaccinated. In Britain, almost 90 percent of adults have received at least one dose and 76 percent have received both.
8- The CDC is lying to us.
(The Liberty Beacon)
New Research Shows – Heart Inflammation After COVID Vaxx More Common Than CDC Claims
Heart Inflammation After COVID Vaccines More Common Than CDC Claims, New Research Shows
A new study published in JAMA shows 1 in 100,000 people had vaccine-related myocarditis and 1.8 in 100,000 people had pericarditis — compared to the CDC's data that 4.8 people per 1 million suffer myocarditis after receiving a COVID vaccine.
U.S. public health officials claim cases of myocarditis and pericarditis following COVID vaccination are rare — but new research published online in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) shows they may happen more often than reported.
9- The Lies Behind the 'Pandemic of Unvaxxed'
(Dr Mercola)
QUOTE: Real-world data from areas with high COVID jab rates show the complete converse of what media, the CDC and White House officials are telling us. In addition to the British Technical Briefing No. 16,15 cited above, we have additional data from Israel, Scotland, Massachusetts and Gibraltar'
10- Vaccinated people have been shown to get and spread Covid-CCP. The "passport" is only about control... NOT safety!
(Sharyl Attkisson)
Covid-19 vaccine passports don't prove immunity; only compliance
QUOTE: We now know that Covid-19 vaccines do not prevent Covid-19 infection. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also acknowledges that vaccination does not prevent spread of Covid. The agency concluded that "viral load" -- an indication of how infectious a patient may be -- is "about the same" in infected vaccinated and infected unvaccinated patients.
