Blinken's nod for terrorist

  Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow · 24m Traitor Blinken mourns the death of one of the world’s leading terrorists, who slaughtered scores of American Marines He should be saying "good riddance."  The Marines and their family deserve better for their sacrifice of this country. 

Biden's pronoun warriors

Spectator World:  Biden’s State Department is a laughingstock   China launches a hypersonic missile but Antony Blinken is very worried about gender pronouns The idiocy of the Biden administration is becoming a threat to national security as they focus instead on CRT nonsense and the pronoun goofballs of the left.   From mythical "white supremacy" worries to one of the biggest screw-ups in world history in Afghanistan none of these people should be in charge of anything.  They would probably screw up latrine duty ops.

Generals accused of going along with leaving allies behind in Afghanistan

 Jennifer van Laar: As we watched Afghanistan fall to the Taliban in mid-August, and through the time we surrendered on August 30, we were astonished at the ineptitude displayed by the Biden administration in every facet of the operation, but we weren’t astonished that we were being lied to. We all knew when White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki continually insisted that every American who wanted to get out of Afghanistan had been evacuated that she wasn’t telling the truth. We knew that the administration’s promise to get those Afghans who worked with us during 20 years of war out of the country was worth nothing. We just didn’t know how bad the truth was. Now the truth is starting to come to light, and it shows that it wasn’t just Biden who had a lackadaisical attitude about leaving Americans and trusted Afghan allies – to whom we’d made sacred promises – behind. Even some of our top military commanders, including Gen. Milley, Gen. McKenzie, and Gen. Donahue, were okay with turni...

This would be a good start

  Fox News: Retired military leaders demand mass resignation of Biden team: Milley, Austin, Blinken, Sullivan   Rep. Ronny Jackson said 'everyone who was a yes-man for Biden' should resign They have been serial failures as has the President the serve.  The lack of competence is stunning.  BTW: State Department IG to probe Biden admin's chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal   State Department IG will probe evacuation of U.S. embassy in Kabul, among other things

Was Blinken questioned about Hunter Biden Burisma deal by FBI?

  NY Post: Blinken left tongue-tied over Hunter Biden question during House hearing ... “I-I-I-I-I’m not sure what you’re referring to, and I’m happy to take that up with you offline,” the secretary of state finally spat out. Perry pressed on, asking Blinken: “Did the State Department turn over documents to the FBI related to Hunter Biden, Burisma, and/or the Blue [Star] Strategies corporation?” “Uh, you’ll have to ask —” Blinken began before Perry cut him off to ask: “So you have no knowledge of this? Are you saying you have not had an interview with the FBI since becoming secretary of state?” “It would – It would not be appropriate for me to comment in a public forum on any legal proceedings that the department –” Blinken started before Perry interjected: “I’m not asking you to comment on the legal proceedings, I’m just asking if you’ve been interviewed by the FBI since becoming secretary of state.” “Again, I’m not going to comment one way or another on any legal proceedings, o...

Congressmen tell Secretary of State to resign over botch Afghan exit

 Washington Examiner: A hearing billed as the first part of a major evaluation of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan featured criticism of Secretary of State Antony Blinken and calls for his resignation. “Your bizarre abandoning of Bagram Airfield led directly to 13 Marines murdered in Kabul,” Rep. Joe Wilson, a South Carolina Republican,  told  Blinken after endorsing a newspaper editorial that accused President  Joe Biden  of telling “six lies” about Afghanistan. “You should resign. I yield back.” ... That exchange reflected the pattern of the hearing: Most Republicans attacked Blinken, while most Democrats defended him. Blinken, for his part, sought to pin the blame for the troubled withdrawal — which a prominent German politician called "the greatest debacle that NATO has seen since its foundation" — on former President Donald Trump’s approach to negotiating the U.S.-Taliban peace deal that set the stage for the U.S. withdrawal. ... Blinken faced numerous ...

State Department not working to free Americans in Afghanistan?

  Daily Mail: 'If one life is lost, the blood is on White House hands': Fury at State Department for 'delaying six flights out of Afghanistan carrying more than 100 US citizens'   The US State Department has been accused of blocking dozens of Americans from fleeing   Afghanistan   after failing to tell the   Taliban   it had green-lighted charter flights.  On Sunday, Reuters reported that the delay had been caused by Biden administration officials not telling Taliban leaders it had approved the departures of the chartered flights from an airport in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif, 260 miles north of Afghan capital Kabul. An exasperated flight organizer hit out at the State Department over the fiasco, saying: 'They need to be held accountable for putting these people's lives in danger.'  Other groups trying to organize their own chartered flights have also hit out at the State Department, with Rick Clay from private rescue firm PlanB claiming the organ...

Biden sends defense team to reassure allies after his Afghan bug out

 Washington Examiner: D efense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken set off on separate overseas trips starting in the Persian Gulf to thank allies for assistance in Afghanistan withdrawal efforts after a chaotic and deadly several weeks. Blinken landed in Doha, Qatar, on Monday, where several diplomatic exchanges with the Taliban have taken place in recent years and where diplomatic operations serving Afghanistan have been based since the United States closed its embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. ... On Friday, Blinken will travel to Germany, where the U.S. Ramstein Air Base is the site of a major pit stop for evacuees from Afghanistan making their way to the U.S. In addition to meeting with foreign officials, Blinken will visit State Department employees working on evacuation efforts. Austin is also  scheduled  to visit Qatar, as well as Bahrain and Kuwait, sites of additional evacuee holding and processing operations, and Saudi Arabia. The relation...
