WND: In a move that has prompted outrage among lawmakers and military officers, U.S. officials gave the Taliban a list of the names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the airport perimeter controlled by the Islamic group.
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said a defense official who spoke to Politico on condition of anonymity.
“A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.” Proverbs 18:2
“Its just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean.”
Politico, citing three U.S. and congressional officials, said the intent was to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan amid the chaos of the Taliban takeover.
Zero Hedge: President Biden on Thursday vowed to “hunt down” the terrorists responsible for a spate of deadly bombings at the Kabul airport which left 12 US servicemembers dead and 15 wounded.
“Know this; We will not forgive. We will not forget. We. will hunt you down and make you pay,” he said.

Daily Wire: At least 12 U.S. service members were killed Thursday after multiple explosions were set off in Kabul, Afghanistan, near the city’s airport.
Hours after the attacks, President Joe Biden is nowhere to be found, following the president’s pattern of refusing to speak to reporters as his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan worsens.

And all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17
The reaction online from elected Republicans, conservatives, and liberal journalists were brutal, and included calls for resignations and impeachments.
Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn (TN) reacted bluntly Thursday, “Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Antony Blinken, Lloyd Austin and General Milley should all resign or face impeachment and removal from office.” Read More
PJ Media: The Biden administration’s decision to hastily withdraw from Afghanistan has resulted in at least three American servicemen being injured or even killed.
After several days of possible “threats” to the Kabul airport, it has now been hit by terrorists. A suicide bomber murdered or wounded at least 11 people, including three American servicemen.
According to Fox News, the suicide bombing resulted in a firefight between the terrorists and U.S. troops present at the airport. Apparently, these troops are willing to defend themselves and their brothers in arms, despite the fact that they were completely betrayed by their political leadership.
And by “political leadership,” I mean, of course, the gutless, spineless, ridiculous Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
According to Fox News, the suicide attack was very “complex.” However, such attacks were anticipated. In fact, American intel warned about possible upcoming attacks well before this suicide attack was actually carried out. In other words, they knew something was coming, but were unable to do anything about it.

PJ Media: It began on election night 2016. I stayed up until about six in the morning on the west coast watching both CNN and MSNBC (one on my television and one on my phone) melting down over Trump’s victory. In no uncertain terms, the talking heads at each network repeated the dire warning that a Trump victory meant certain doom for the American stock market. It was the first of about a million things they got wrong. Trump’s economy was humming along in overdrive until the Wuhan lab let the bat go free.
Objectively, the first three years of the Trump era were damned good ones for the republic. Unfortunately, American Democrats all live on a subjective moon that orbits a navel-gazing planet. Rather than just sit back and enjoy all of the peace and prosperity that President Trump helped bring about, all they could do was rend their garments over the fact that he had dared to defeat the least likable presidential candidate in history fairly and squarely.
“Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.” Eph. 5:6
Were you, however, to have been a regular consumer of the mainstream media in the United States of America, all you read or heard was that this great land had been ruined forever by ORANGE MAN BAD.
The MSM kept the fever-pitch wailing going all day and night while Trump was in office. There was nothing that was reality-based that fit their narrative, so they lied all the time, especially about Russia. They breathlessly “reported” an avalanche of anonymously sourced anti-Trump garbage every day. From almost the moment that Trump got in office, I enjoyed the way he punched back at them.
The only real chaos during the Trump years happened in 2020, obviously, and it wasn’t his doing. The pandemic threw everything into a tizzy, including election integrity. Now we’re seven months into a nightmare brought on by Democrat opportunists who ran over dead bodies just so they could point back and use them as excuses to obliterate any semblance of transparency in an American presidential election.
The result of that is that we are now actually living in the hellscape that American leftists kept falsely claiming was a reality during Trump’s presidency. Read More
PJ Media: UPDATE: Fox News reports that at least three U.S. troops have been injured in the attack at the Abbey Gate. Jennifer Griffin reports that this is a “complex attack” including both explosives and a gunfight.
Numerous news outlets are reporting that there has been an explosion outside the Abbey Gate at Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) in Kabul, Afghanistan. Reports indicate it may be a mix of a suiciding bomb and improvised explosive device (IED) attack.
The threat of terrorist attacks at the besieged airport has been all too real since Kabul fell to the Taliban last weekend. The U.S. State Department issued a warning late Wednesday telling Americans not to travel to the airport unless they had been specifically instructed to do so by government personnel. The Taliban, ISIS-K, and al-Qaeda are all known to be in the area. The State Department’s warnings have centered on the threats from ISIS-K.
The Taliban has issued mixed messages and has reportedly blocked and beaten some Americans and Afghans who were en route to the airport, which is the only way out of Afghanistan.
Fox News is now reporting that a gunfight has erupted outside the airport. As many as 5,000 people may be standing outside that gate in the desperate crush to leave the country after Joe Biden’s hasty retreat Read More
PJ Media: A government watchdog group says the U.S. military is leaving behind 75,000 vehicles, 600,000 weapons and 208 aircraft in Afghanistan as forces evacuate the country after a 20-year war.
We’ve made the Taliban into a major U.S. arms dealer for the next decade,” said Adam Andrzejewski, CEO of Open the Books. “They now control 75,000 military vehicles. This is about 50,000 tactical vehicles, 20,000 Humvees they control about 1,000 mine-resistant vehicles, and even about 150 armored personnel carriers.”
“A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor,
But he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.” Proverbs 28:16
Since 2001, the U.S. has spent $83 billion on Afghan security forces through training and equipment, he said.
“We built them a pretty amazing war chest and now all of it is in the hands of the Taliban,” said Andrzejewski. “We know that last month, as late as July, seven new helicopters were being delivered in the capital city of Kabul.”
While the watchdog was able to tally up equipment to be left behind, the group said the numbers are not complete. Read More
Jewish Press: Ahead of his first meeting in Washington with President Joe Biden this week, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met in Jerusalem with the New York Times’ senior reporters in Israel, Patrick Kingsley and Isabel Kershner, to tell them said he “opposed U.S. efforts to restore a nuclear deal with Iran and ruled out peace talks with the Palestinians” (New Israeli Leader Backs Hard Line on Iran but Softer Tone With U.S.).
“I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you …” Genesis 12:3
The short of it regarding the future of the liberated territories is that Bennett wants to expand the Judea and Samaria Jewish settlements – which Biden opposes, does not want a “consulate for Palestinians” in Jerusalem, and there won’t be a Palestinian State on his watch. As to Iran, Bennett will seek common ground with the administration on “containing” Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
“I call it the good-will government,” Bennett told Kingsley and Kershner. “There’s a new dimension here: coming up with new ways to address problems, being very realistic, very pragmatic, and being reasonable with friends.”
He plans to forge a coalition of the Iran-fearing nations of the Middle East, and lead it in curtailing the Iranians. Read More

American Thinker: A Helsinki-based research group is reporting that Communist China is set to build another 43 coal-fired power plants along with 18 new blast furnaces as part of its newest five-year-plan. These new projects have all been announced in the first half of 2021.
The report, produced by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) along with the U.S. group Global Energy Monitor (GEM), was released just scant days after the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its Sixth Assessment Report on the current state of the climate, which General Secretary of the UN António Guterres called a “code red for humanity.”
“What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecc. 1″9
The new greenhouse-gas emitting projects are in line with the country’s latest five-year-plan, which calls for hundreds of such plants to be built between 2021 and 2025. Oddly enough, the new plants are also in line with China’s pledge to the Paris Climate Agreement, which states only that the country will reach peak emissions by 2030.
Last September, General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping pledged that China would reach carbon neutrality by 2060. The climate pledges China has made seem to be at cross purposes with the building of the coal-fired plants and blast furnaces.
In China, it would seem, economic progress is still allowed to trump environmentalism.
“There is this desire in the Chinese political and economic system to keep on building, to continue the infrastructure fever,” said Li Shuo, a Greenpeace advisor based in Beijing. Read More
