Just minutes after President Biden failed to offer any real explanation for why things have gone sideways in Afghanistan amid the U.S. withdrawal, Pentagon officials proved that much of what Biden told the American people was untrue. That or Biden is entirely unaware of critical information regarding what’s going on in the world.
Despite standing at the President’s side while Biden declared “we know of no circumstance where American citizens, carrying an American passport” have had trouble getting to Hamid Karzai International Airport, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin reportedly told members of the House of Representatives that Americans are in fact being beaten by the Taliban in Kabul. NEW: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in a briefing call with House lawmakers just now said Americans have been beaten by the Taliban in Kabul, according to multiple people on the call. Austin called it “unacceptable.” — Andrew Desiderio (@AndrewDesiderio) August 20, 2021 Reporter:
“Defense Secretary Austin just now, in a briefing call with House lawmakers, said that there were reports of Americans being beaten by the Taliban in Kabul. Is the U.S. military under orders to stay at the airport and not go protect them?” pic.twitter.com/Du9NLvnocV — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) August 20, 2021 Pentagon making it very clear that it’s still hard to get to the Kabul airport despite what Biden claimed earlier — Charlie Spiering (@charliespiering) August 20, 2021 The two possible explanations are that either Joe Biden is so far outside the main current of information in his administration that he doesn’t know what is happening to Americans trapped in Afghanistan, or that he just lied to the American people with a straight face from the East Room of the White House. Clearly, Biden’s word is only as good as the Taliban’s with whom Biden says an agreement has been reached to allow Americans safe passage.
Another claim Biden made in his remarks was that al-Qaeda is gone from Afghanistan. But Pentagon Press Secretary, immediately following Biden’s remarks, said the opposite in telling a reporter that al-Qaeda is still in Afghanistan. . @JenGriffinFNC : “What is your current […]

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!
