AP Photo/Wali Sabawoon Anyone who has been sorta awake for the past two weeks knows that the situation there is an absolute disaster. As we approach the deadline for an exit, the Biden White House brags about over 100,000 people being evacuated; it’s a second Berlin Airlift, doncha know? (See If You Think Afghanistan Is a Disaster You’re Missing the Big Picture. Get Ready to Be Told It Is the New Berlin Airlift .) That number is deceptive in the extreme. Kirby says of more than 100,000 evacuated, under 7,000 Afghan SIVs — those who helped us during the war — are in the US and being processed. (That’s actually a low number compared to the total number of Afghan SIVs who have helped our troops/diplomats across 20 years of war). — Kristina Wong 🇺🇸 (@kristina_wong) August 27, 2021 Total, by US and Allies. https://t.co/m5wuqxykor ‘Since August the 14th we have evacuated more than 104,000 civilians from HKIA, over 66,000 by the United States and over 37,000 by our allies and partners.

Even with this number, there are a few thousand Americans still unaccounted for. Some of those may have left the country by other means, but most of those will be left behind in Kabul, where we are relying upon the Taliban to evacuate them…this, of course, begs the question of why, if the Taliban will evacuate them when we leave, why are we there at all?
Out of this mess, there is some good news. Two US Congressmen decided to take an unaccompanied and unannounced trip to Kabul to see for themselves the scope of the problem. Of course, the Pentagon went bonkers, but that’s what petty tyrants do when confronted; see Nothing Says ‘Highly Organized’ Like Two Congressmen Visiting Kabul and No One Telling the White House or Pentagon About it . ABC is also reporting good news : With the Taliban growing more violent and adding checkpoints near […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
