Multiple US Marines, Civilians Killed In Kabul Attack

Multiple U.S. military service members were killed in explosions outside the Kabul airport Thursday, the Defense Department confirmed.

“We can confirm that a number of U.S. service members were killed in today’s complex attack at Kabul airport,” Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said in a statement after the WSJ report. Kirby didn’t specify the number of fatalities.

Ross Wilson, the U.S. ambassador in Kabul, informed American embassy staff that four Marines had been killed, an official with knowledge of the briefing told the Wall Street Journal. U.S. officials confirmed the report to Fox News Pentagon reporter Lucas Tomlinson.

Afghan health officials estimated that there have been 30-40 confirmed fatalities as a result of the attacks, The New York Times reported. The officials spoke anonymously because the Taliban, which said 13 had been killed, told them not to speak to the press.

Multiple explosions ripped through the crowd outside the airport earlier Thursday, causing multiple civilian and U.S. service member casualties, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said.

Biden's Guest Hosting Of 'Jeopardy!' A Disaster

Biden's Guest Hosting Of 'Jeopardy!' A Disaster As He Flees Every Time A Contestant Puts An Answer In Form Of A Question.

CULVER CITY, CA—It seemed like a big coup for the game show Jeopardy! as they got the President of the United States himself, Joe Biden, to host. But it ended up being a disaster, as every time a contest answered in the form of a question, Biden would immediately turn and leave.

“What is the Roman Empire?” answered contestant Keith Black, a school teacher.

“I’m not taking questions at this time,” Biden said as he turned to leave the studio.

Producers then had to explain to him that in Jeopardy!, all answers are in the form of questions, but he’s not actually being questioned.

“Well, that’s just malarkey,” Biden reportedly said before going back in to host.

Still, his reflex about questions was too ingrained, as when a contest answered, “What is photosynthesis?” Biden again immediately left.

“Sorry,” he said while exiting the stage, “my staff says if I answer any questions, I don’t get ice cream.”

One of the producers then tried to fill in as host for the rest of the show, but someone in the audience soon found a bad tweet of his, and the guest host was shot on sight.


This blog is SATIRE folks.

3 Contractors

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.
One is from Chicago, another is from Kentucky, and the third is from New Orleans.
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.
* The New Orleans contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
"Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $9,000. That's $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."
* The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7,000. That's $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."
* The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$27,000."
The official, incredulous, says:
"You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure? ”
The Chicago contractor whispers back:
"$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Kentucky to fix the fence."
* "Done!" replies the government official.
And that, my friends, is how the Government Stimulus plan worked.

DeSantis blasts Biden: "I am standing in your way"

One day after President Joe Biden criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ approach to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is spiking again in Florida, the governor fired back.

"If you're coming after the rights of parents in Florida, I'm standing in your way," DeSantis defiantly responded on Wednesday. "If you're trying to deny kids a proper in-person education, I'm going to stand in your way and stand up for the kids in Florida. If you're trying to restrict people and impose mandates and ruin their jobs and livelihood; if you are trying to lock people down, I am standing in your way. I am standing for the people of Florida."

He finished by saying, "Why don't you do your job, why don't you get this border secure? Until you do that, I don't want to hear a blip about COVID from you."

British Parliament Unloads On Biden: ‘Biden May Have Condemned The World To Chinese Domination

Numerous members of the British Parliament slammed President Joe Biden this week in response to the catastrophe the president created in Afghanistan with his disastrous pullout and handling of the situation.

The remarks came on Wednesday from members in the House of Lords, which is one of the two chambers in the British Parliament.

Members blamed Biden for the situation and shamed him for trying to cast blame on others, including the Afghan military. Many of the members said that America’s image was seriously damaged around the world and the West could suffer greatly in the years to come because nations may no longer trust the West to keep its promises.

The following are just some of the things that members of the British Parliament said about Biden:

Lord Dannatt: “First, notwithstanding his attempted explanation on Monday, the manner and timing of the Afghan collapse is the direct result of President Biden’s decision to withdraw all US forces from Afghanistan by the 20th anniversary of 9/11. At a stroke, he has undermined the patient and painstaking work of the last five, 10, 15 years to build up governance in Afghanistan, develop its economy, transform its civil society and build up its security forces. The people had a glimpse of a better life, but that has been torn away. With US forces withdrawing, other NATO allies, including ourselves, had no option but to leave too, denying the Afghan national army the technical and training support that it needed and the moral support of friends who encouraged them to take the fight to the Taliban. Until a few weeks ago, the Taliban was being contained and may even have been persuaded over time that a military victory was impossible and a negotiated settlement was the better course. Those possibilities are now a closed chapter of history, an opportunity lost, and the world’s western superpower is looking enfeebled. The only glimmer of hope today is that the Taliban of 2021 is not the Taliban of 2001.”

Lord Howard of Lympne: “The responsibility for the decision to withdraw rests with President Biden. Up to now, many of us have been rather impressed with the president’s performance in his first few months in office, although that may in large part be due to the relief at the absence of his unlamented predecessor. But I am afraid that President Biden’s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan is, and will be seen by history as, a catastrophic mistake which may well prove to be the defining legacy of his presidency.”

Pelosi to blame for Capitol security 'breakdown' on Jan. 6

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is responsible for the "breakdown" in security at the Capitol during a deadly riot on Jan. 6, and only wants to "stick to her narrative" as she appoints anti-Trump Republicans to the committee investigating the attack, Rep. Jim Banks said Sunday.

Banks, R-Ind., made his claims against Pelosi during an interview on "Fox News Sunday" while responding to Pelosi’s decision to reject him from the Jan. 6 inquiry committee and her intention to appoint Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., to the committee.

"Due to the rules of the United States Capitol, the power structure of the Capitol, Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, has more control and authority and responsibility over the leadership of the Capitol police than anyone else in the United States Capitol," Banks said. "So she doesn’t want us to ask these questions because at the end of the day, she's ultimately responsible for the breakdown of security at the Capitol that happened on Jan. 6."

Pelosi as speaker does not directly oversee the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP), according to the Associated Press, but does appoint a House sergeant at arms, who is on the Capitol Police Board that oversees the department. The department is also overseen by committees from both houses of Congress.

REPORT: Biden “Not Sleeping Well,” Says He Wants to Go Home to Delaware to Sleep

According to a new report from journalist Jack Posobeic, President Joe Biden is not sleeping well and wants to go home to Delaware after taking a separate vacation last weekend.

Biden telling staff he wants to go back to Delaware. Hasn’t been sleeping well all this week. Thinks he will be more functional if he stays over at home in Wilmington,” Posobeic reported.

Just an hour after Posobiec dropped this tweet, WMAL News reported that Biden would in fact be going home to Wilmington, Delaware for a long weekend.

“President Biden, who has spent the last few days traveling between the White House and Camp David, is scheduled to head to Delaware for a long weekend,” WMAL News tweeted. “That’s according to the FAA’s website.”

When America needs him most, Biden is going home to sleep in Delaware.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Biden State Department delivered devastating news when they announced that they “cannot ensure safe passage” to the Kabul airport for Americans trapped in Afghanistan.

Um...
Also, we would prefer not to be served by someone who is on or uses recreational drugs such as cocaine, meth, fentanyl, etc, so if you could provide us with Michael's most recent tox screen, that would be great.
Um... Let me get the manager for you.
That would be great, thanks.

One American Airman's thoughts on saving 640 Afghani's on cargo plane

Kati Grabham is feeling emotional.

When we speak in aircraft numbers, and specifically of numbers onboard, we use the term “souls”. How many souls are onboard. Soul - the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life.
We don’t say “Americans” or “refugees” or “foreign nationals”. We say souls. Because to us, souls are what matter. “Souls” denotes humans and discounts all of the other adjectives we like to use to “qualify” people.
My prayers are with the C-17 crew that departed the Kabul Int’l Airport today. They had to make heart wrenching decisions. The aircrew had to taxi past hundreds of souls they couldn’t save. And knew they may have no choice but to run over the ones who would not vacate the tarmac, those running alongside and in front of the plane. The loadmasters had to shut the doors on panicked people - humans desperate for assistance - because their aircraft was overloaded, over weight and out of space. Crew chiefs had to inspect main landing gear wheel wells, hopeful not to find the remains of those who - in a last ditch effort to flee - may have stowed away there only to perish once the gear retracted.
When the crew of Reach 817 mission planned for this, they could not have known the sheer volume of life or death decisions they would have to make on this day. And they will have to live with the physical, mental, moral and psychological trauma of this singular mission forever. But they did more than we could have asked them to, in a situation none of us could have prepared them for, and they did it well.
I am incredibly proud to be a part of an Air Force comprised of ordinary Airmen doing extraordinary feats during unimaginable times. I am praying for this crew - and all the crews just like them - that they have all of the love and support they need today and into the future.
No one should be called on to do what they had to do, but when the call came, they did exactly what needed to be done. And that is all we as Airmen can ever ask of each other.
