Bill O'Reilly says old Jim Crow Joe has gotten one thing right from this utter failure-he's done.

"There is good news in this story," O'Reilly stated. "The good news is Biden's done. All right, even though he's going to be there physically, in the White House, he's finished. His credibility is shot. He's not coming back. He doesn't have the energy to come back, or the creativity to come back, or the vision to come back," he added.



"From the beginning of this incredible screwup in Afghanistan, the administration under Joe Biden has not done one thing that has worked. Keep that in mind. Nothing has worked. Because they didn't plan it. There wasn't anybody in charge who really knew the country. And so, when you have that level of incompetence, you're going to go down. Now, every American knows that. And the ones that do play slight attention, know the [southern] border is a catastrophe. They know the woke culture is a catastrophe. They know the progressive left, the socialists, are a catastrophe. And you add it up, and what has the man done well?"

Jim Crow Joe has been asleep at the wheel from the time of his inauguration. Threats not investigated? ISIS prisoners not sent to the US before the unexpected pullout, but instead simply released. Remove that incompetent wanker Biden from office before he destroys his country.



CNN interviewed top ISIS-K commander who made brazen threat two weeks before terror attack at Kabul airport

Two weeks before ISIS-K launched an attack outside the Kabul airport, CNN's chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward, spoke with a senior ISIS-K commander who allegedly promised to "restart operations" after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan.



Tragically, that threat became reality on Thursday when ISIS-K launched an attack outside the Kabul airport where evacuation operations were ongoing. That attack killed 13 United States service members and more than 160 Afghanistan civilians.



Shockingly, State Department spokesman John Kirby admitted Friday the Taliban released "thousands" of ISIS-K terrorist from Afghanistan prisons.



During a press briefing, Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin asked, "How many ISIS-K prisoners were left at Bagram and believed to have been released from the prison there and why weren't they removed before the U.S. pulled out to some place like Gitmo?"



"Well, I don't know the exact number. Clearly, it's in the thousands when you considered both prisons," Kirby responded. "Because both of them were taken over by the Taliban and emptied."

If the Repubs win the house next year impeachment is a real possibility.

Joe Biden has been warned by commanders that another terrorist attack is "highly likely" to happen in the next 24 to 36 hours.

Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton unleashed on President Joe Biden in a new interview, blasting the president for facilitating a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that has now cost American soldiers their lives.



The Massachusetts Democrat has not withheld fierce criticism of the Biden administration since making an unauthorized trip to Kabul this week with Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) to witness the evacuation operation. Both men are military veterans.



In a tell-all interview with New York Magazine, Moulton did not hold back, calling Biden's withdrawal a "total f***ing disaster."



"The thing that everybody needs to understand, even if you completely agree with the Biden administration's decision to withdraw, the way they have handled this has been a total f***ing disaster," Moulton said.



"It will be measured in bodies, because a lot of people are dying because they can't get out," he added.



Moulton told New York Magazine that he is "absolutely" interested in a congressional commission that investigates why the Biden administration did not begin evacuations earlier.



According to the outlet, Moulton is "adamant" that "the administration has created a disaster of epic proportions."

Now they have exchanged the lives of 14 nameless grunts for the so called "Americans" still residing in Afghanistan.



They are about as American as Ilhan Omar.

Scattered in seven Afghan army garrisons across the country, from Kabul and Kandahar to Herat, Mazar-Sharif, Kunduz, these arms depots include an impressive amount of U.S. military hardware: 22,174 armored Humvees, for example, 42 pickup trucks and SUVS, 64,363 machine guns, 162,043 radios. 16,035 night vision goggles, 358,530 assault rifles (the real ones, not the "assault rifles" that Joe Biden warns about at home), 126,295 pistols, and 176 artillery pieces.



And that's just for starters. The United States also generously left behind more than 100 helicopters, including 33 Blackhawks, 4 C-130 transport planes, and some 60 other fixed-wing aircraft.



There was also oodles of ammunition to go along with all the loot.



The question that has not really been pressed about this rather awe-inspiring armory is, why?



Why did we leave it behind to be used by the Taliban?



I don't believe that question has been addressed with anything like the determination it deserves.



Some people have suggested that it was just a matter of simple incompetence on the part of the Biden administration, particularly the State Department, which is overseeing the evacuation, and the president himself, who apparently chose to ignore advice from some of his advisors about the time table for the evacuation.



But I suspect there is something more insidious than simple incompetence.



What we're dealing with here is politicized, and therefore, malevolent incompetence.



This is beginning to be recognized in some surprising venues.



The New York Times, for example, just published an op-ed by Elliot Ackerman, a former Marine who is part of a group of "veterans, journalists, and activists" who have been privately helping to organize evacuation efforts in Afghanistan for months.



"Never," Ackerman wrote, "have I witnessed a greater, swifter collapse of competence than what I have seen with the U.S. evacuation of Afghanistan."



Nor is he shy about identifying the source of the pandemonium: "Events at the airport—desperation, death—indicate the extreme chaos that ensues when the commander in chief doesn't actually understand the value of service."



Like many observers, Ackerman focuses mainly on the chaos in Kabul.



But I continue to wonder about all that fire power and supporting matériel that we have left behind.



Why did we do so? Why did we not destroy it?





As far as I know, no one has answered those questions.



Of course, military hardware is not all that we have left behind.



The evacuation "mission" is apparently also leaving behind hundreds of Americans.



According to Rep. Dan Crenshaw, among others, "Biden is not letting U.S. citizens through the airport gates. It has been impossible to get anyone through for the last 24 hours."



Crenshaw concludes: "This administration has been lying about their intent to save Americans. Unforgivable."



Biden has been quick to try to shift the blame for this whole debacle onto Donald Trump. "He made a deal with the Taliban!" is his constant refrain.





But Biden neglects to point out that Trump had a plan to leave by the beginning of May, before the "summer fighting season," and well before the Taliban had overrun the country.



Biden came up with his own timetable for the optics: he wanted to be able to claim the credit for ending "America's longest war" and to do so in a way that would deny Trump any credit for it.



It has backfired spectacularly, and the blowback, I predict, is far from over.



For those who wonder about the kinder, gentler Taliban that Biden is partnering with, we're already getting some vivid indications.



Sure, they post pictures of themselves eating ice-cream to taunt Biden.



I have even seen reports that they have bought or are planning to buy a painting by Hunter Biden to install in the Presidential palace.





Maybe that's satire, who knows?



The Biden administration and its media poodles keep suggesting that the Taliban may be turning over a new leaf. I think you would have to be mad to think so.



One representative incident: The London Times is reporting that "Taliban fighters have shot dead an Afghan folk singer after it outlawed music and women's voices on television and radio in the bellwether province of Kandahar, laying the ground for a nationwide ban in an echo of the brutal Islamist regime of 20 years ago."



Uh oh.



What have we left behind in Afghanistan?



The brilliant editorial cartoonist Michael P. Ramirez provided the crispest summary in his cartoon for today.





A big transport helicopter is flying over our (former) embassy in Kabul. One speech balloon asks: "What did we leave behind."



The other answers: "Our credibility."

The Taliban is a modern, well armed force thanks to Biden.
