…the Biden Administration starts chattering about gun control, just mentioned this:
Without going into specifics about weapons, that’s enough to put a new firearm in the hand of every member of every NATO military, with quite a few left over.
As far as the human cost, especially to those afghans who helped us (and his records are no doubt being circulated by the Taliban as we speak)?
That’s just too depressing to engage with at the moment.
In case anyone would like to contribute, the Nazarene fund has organized several civilian aircraft in an effort to get as many as 5,000 people out of Afghanistan. The Nazarene fund was established by Glen Beck to rescue persecuted Christians, but have shifted the mission to a broader reach.

Doing the job WH won’t do. I guess Beck is an illegal alien. Fuck, we are ALL aliens now ’cause we are not in Kansas anymore!
Pedo Joe’s war on White people isn’t going very well, either…
Leftist Reuters reports:
Exclusive: FBI finds scant evidence U.S. Capitol attack was coordinated – sources
“WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) – The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.
Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.
“Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases,” said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation.”
The border: Chaos
Afghanistan: Humanitarian and military disaster of Epic proportions
Taliban: Armed to the teeth and in complete control
US Credibility and prestige: In the toilet
NATO Allies: Outraged
China: In the driver’s seat
Inflation: Booming
Economy: Dormant
Covid response: Keystone cops
CDC: Completely discredited
Pedo Joe: In hiding
Trump: Golfing and laughing his ass off
Is there anything Pedo Joe has not fucked up?

Regarding all those weapons, we need to relax. These aren’t extremely dangerous semi-automatic weapons on the Armalite platform like the AR-15 firing bullets with standard powder, these are just safe fully automatic weapons on the Armalite platform firing bullets with low flash powder. Oh, and probably bayonets, too.
Totally safe in comparison.
From the Brits: Biden Assured Allies in June U.S. Would Ensure Kabul’s Stability
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-20/biden-assured-allies-in-june-u-s-would-ensure-kabul-s-stability
That was back in June, when it was inconceivable that the Afghan government would collapse, not today when we know it was always inevitable that the Afghan government would collapse.
From a friend of Insty:
Biden’s statement that he has seen ‘no question of our credibility from our allies’ has said allies furious. Every NATO country has people trapped in Afghanistan and they tend to be trust fund babies or friends of trust fund babies. Every prime minister’s phone is blowing up with VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE asking how they’re going to get their kids or their kids’ friends out of Afghanistan and every ally is blowing up the phones of the White House and State Department and getting jack shit from them.
“Taliban seizing Afghan-American’s US passports outside Kabul airport ”

All is working out as I have predicted.
What an epic f*ck up by Look Out Below Joe. People will remember this along with the fall of Saigon in ’75 and the Iran Hostage crisis of ’79, and not favorably. Unbelievable incompetence by Biden, the generals and the state department. But mostly Biden, since he is the exec and it literally his job to be on top of the generals and the state department.
I suspect that the msm is gradually beginning to realize that best word to describe the people in Kabul that we want to get out — Americans and Afghans both — is “hostage.”
