Joe Biden reportedly feared a “Black Hawk Down” moment so badly that he overrode pretty much all the military and intelligence advice he was given and decided to bug out of Afghanistan regardless of conditions on the ground there. He set an arbitrary withdrawal date and closed up Bagram Air Base, turned off intelligence support and aircraft maintenance for the Afghan military. The Afghan military collapsed very quickly after that.
Afghanistan swiftly fell to the Taliban and now thousands of Americans and allies are stranded there facing an arbitrary August 31 evacuation deadline that Biden has set.
The Taliban have now captured an additional benefit from capturing Afghanistan: at least one actual Black Hawk helicopter . A video has emerged that appears to show Taliban fighters taking a Black Hawk helicopter on a joyride at an Afghan airport — the latest example of how the insurgents are flaunting their newly acquired military gear and rubbing it in America’s face. The former Afghan air force UH-60 Black Hawk is seen taxiing at an airport in Afghanistan, according to the Independent . However, it does not appear to leave the ground in the footage. They may not have any qualified pilots. Russia and/or China will be sure to change that in short order.

“Black Hawk Down,” of course, refers to the 1993 battle in Mogadishu, Somalia, during which a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter was shot down and several U.S. troops were killed. Their bodies were dragged through the streets of that city, and video of all of that went worldwide nearly in real-time. Author Mark Bowden wrote a book about the incident, called Black Hawk […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
