Joe Biden, aka Jimmy Carter 2.0

While it isn't right to compare Joe Biden's mishandling of the pullout of Afghanistan with Jimmy Carter's Operation Eagle Claw, Biden's fiasco is a major national security mistake. Kevin McCarthy's criticism of the Afghanistan operation is totally justified.

Joe Biden is quickly morphing into Jimmy Carter 2.0. It's difficult, if not impossible, to name a single accomplishment that's made people's lives better. Before Afghanistan, most people would've said that inflation is the thing that Biden and Carter most had in common. Now, though, it's difficult to not compare Biden's military blunders with Carter's infamous military blunder.

Leader McCarthy ripped into Biden for Biden's incompetence. Ditto with Sen. Mitch McConnell:

"The White House has no discernable plan other than pleading with the Taliban," McCarthy said in a statement late Friday. "The bungled withdrawal, reminiscent of his failed withdrawal from Iraq, is an embarrassment to our nation."
"President Biden must continue to provide the close air support necessary for the Afghan government to protect themselves from the Taliban and make sure al Qaeda and ISIS do not gain a foothold due to the Biden administration’s disastrous policies," the top House Republican said. 
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., offered stronger language than McCarthy in his statement after talking to Raz on Friday, saying the U.S. military should "hammer" the Taliban with airstrikes. 
"It is not too late to prevent the Taliban from overrunning Kabul," McConnell said Friday. "The Administration should move quickly to hammer Taliban advances with airstrikes, provide critical support to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) defending the capital, and prevent the seemingly imminent fall of the city."

 Joe Biden has been part of 2 of the United States' biggest foreign policy mistakes in Afghanistan (thus far) and Benghazi. It isn't surprising that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that Biden "has been wrong" on every major foreign policy decision in the past 40 years.

Gen. Jack Keane is furious with Biden for Biden's timeline for pulling our troops out during the Taliban's peak fighting time:

Biden is a blithering idiot. Frankly, he should be run out of DC immmediately. This is the US's biggest national security setback since the botched Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961 and Jimmy Carter's attempt to free the Iranian hostages.

With inflation rising, things are bad enough. Then add in the fact that the southern border is wide open. After that, factor in that countries like China, Russia and Iran are laughing at us and our allies distrusting us and you've got the recipe for the worst administration since the 1800s.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
