Taliban accidentally sends Christmas gift to Tajikistan-based opposition

This is funnier than a YouTube cat video or a Biden speech using his substitute word for "exponentially." 

The Taliban accidentally wired about $800,000 into the bank account of the Afghan Embassy in Tajikistan and now want them to return the money. The embassy told them to "stick it," and were not referring to the money as they refuse to give it back, just like the Taliban refused to give the U.S. back all the weapons and vehicles the Biden administration left behind when they ran out of Afghanistan.

It's karma and it's fabulous.

The mission, whose head has professed his allegiance to the deposed government and firm opposition to the Taliban, is laughing all the way to the bank.

Dushanbe-based news website Avesta reported last week, citing sources at the embassy, that the money had been earmarked by former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s government as funding for a school for refugee children in Tajikistan. When Ghani dashed out of Kabul with a carload of money he stole, however, the transfer did not go through.

The transfer of funds to the Dushanbe mission was later made all the same, Avesta reported. There is no clear indication the Taliban-run Finance Ministry knew of their hilarious screwup as their culture has not as yet discovered the calculator. 

A Eurasianet source at the Embassy confirmed that a transfer had indeed been made, but they put the figure at somewhere closer to $400,000 to minimize the screwup. The payment was made in September, the source said.

The Embassy source said the Taliban government wrote to them in November asking for the return of the money. This request has been rebuffed with drawings of middle fingers and male genitalia drawn in the margins of the communication.

The acting Afghan ambassador to Tajikistan, Zahir Aghbar, [aka Al Lou Aghbar] has emerged as a vocal opponent to the Taliban regime and has spoken in support of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, or NRF.

So it looks like the Taliban can whistle, if they discovered that process yet.

Joe You Know Who gets his gaffe cleaned up from transcript after botching Afghan Pres' name

The White House surreptitiously corrected "a Biden" from the President's softball news conference Thursday. He screwed up the names of  Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani and the controversial former head of Pakistan's military whose name is not Ashraf Ghani.

"And General Austin is — just met with Kayani and I’m waiting for the briefing on that," Biden softly mush-mouthed. 

Hopefully the briefing will clue him in on the names of the people whose names he botched. Of course, the official White House transcript fixed the name "Ghani" and quietly got rid of Kayani, whose full name is Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. He left the Pakistani military in 2013 under less than pleasant circumstances due to his often being accused of "double-dealing and bad faith," The New York Times reported.

But besides confusing Ghani with Kayani, Biden appeared to question the legitimacy of Ghani as Afghanistan's president.

"He is the — the 'leader,' quote, in Afghanistan and Kabul. And there’s a U.N.-led process that’s beginning shortly on how to mechanically get people — how to end this war," Biden softly blubbered.

That quote was not changed in the White House official transcript in spite of Ghani's winning a contested presidential election last year. He was sworn in in March but his rival is doing a "Stacy Abrams" by pretending he won. The U.S. recognizes Ghani as the rightful winner of the election, in spite of what Joe may think, if indeed he does.

Biden's news conference with pre-arranged questions on Thursday was the first of his presidency, 65 days after he was inaugurated. There were no tough questions, nothing about the recent gun scandal of Biden's vagrant son Hunter;  nothing about the COVID-19 situation other than self-congratulatory posturing; and no Fox News' Peter Doocy being asked any questions out of fear of journalism.

The president also lied stating that he is committed to transparency on the border, which is exactly the opposite of the truth as he isn't allowing the press access to the cages.

Journalism is in the ICU and there are all kinds of beeps and bells going off. Biden isn't doing much better.

Ramadan in Kabul: 80 dead, over 300 injured

Kabul, Afghanistan -- Kicking off Ramadan in tradition terrorist fashion, the "Ramadan Bombathon" is in full-swing as a massive blast rocked a "secure" diplomatic area Wednesday morning killing at least 80 and wounding 350.

The huge explosion is believed to have been from a suicide car bombing and was large enough to destroy over 30 vehicles at the site.

"We don't know at this moment what was the target of the attack, but most of the casualties are civilians," said Najib Danish, deputy spokesman for the interior ministry. 

It is suspected that the target of the blast was anyone not associated with the terrorists, which includes men, women and children, and hopefully as many diplomats as the bomb could kill.

Some German Embassy employees were seriously hurt in the blast and an Afghan security guard was killed. The Foreign Ministry dispatched a crisis team to help in the aftermath.

Windows were shattered from the blast as far as a half mile away.

No group has yet claimed responsibility but once ISIS learns of the blast, there's a good chance that they will.

The blast comes a day after another massive bomb killed 31 people in an Iraqi ice cream parlor in Central Baghdad.

The latest attack occurred in what used to be considered Kabul's safest neighborhood, with foreign embassies protected by 10-foot-high blast walls guarded by police and national security forces. The Afghan Foreign Ministry and Presidential Palace are also in this area. 

Fortunately, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has strongly condemned the attack--now all of Afghanistan can sleep at night.

Ghani said in a statement that "the terrorists, even in the holy month of Ramadan, the month of goodness, blessing and prayer, are not stopping the killing of our innocent people."

Last month, the unwashed Taliban announced the beginning of their spring offensive. They have promised to build their political base, as Islam directs, and they will do this by focusing assaults on the international coalition and Afghan security forces.

This is Islam--sadly, it's how they roll.

Another Mullah, Another Jihad

Man Sewer

Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor (pronounced "Man Sewer") is the new leader of the Afghan Taliban now that it has been announced Mullah Omar is worm food. True to his religious calling, Man Sewer has promised on almighty Allah to continue killing in the prophet's name in order to establish an Islamic state. 

He is a former Aviation Minister in the 1996-2001 government.

The audio message from the Sewer also spoke about his religious organization's new peace talks with the Afghan government, but where the scumcrumpet's allegiances are, only Allah knows, and he's not talking.

This gets 72 virgins?

It was confirmed on Thursday that the one-eyed, one-horned, fighting Mullah Omar was dead. Man Sewer was elected by a unanimous-or-else vote as his successor. It was announced by the government of Afghanistan (both Christiane Amanpour and Barack Obama pronounces it Aahfghahneestahn) that Omar has been dead since April 2013 but did not go into specifics about how or where he died, only that he won't be killing Jews for Allah anymore--or anyone else, for that matter.

"We should keep our unity, we must be united, our enemy will be happy in our separation," Man Sewer said in his message to his zombie followers. "This is a big responsibility for us. This is not the work of one, two or three people. This is all our responsibility to carry on jihad until we establish the Islamic state."

Had it been Joe Biden leading the Taliban in this speech, he might have said what a big f$#%ing deal it is.

Obama said these guys aren't Muslims--they might be HIndus or perhaps Jews, but they certainly don't sound like Muslims to him.

Zabiullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesrobot sent the audio to journalists on Saturday but the Associated Press was unable to verify the identity of the speaker from the recording.

You may recall how Mullah Omar hosted Osama bin Laden's group 'back in the day.' The Taliban leader, fearful for his miserable life, had not been seen in public since fleeing to Pakistan (pronounced "Paahkeestahn" by guess who) after we led the invasion that kicked the Taliban from power. Guess he wasn't into brown-eyed virgins back then.

Have you noticed how the leaders are never the suicide bombers?

It's probable that Pakistan sheltered and supported the Taliban during the war. Man Sewer is considered to be close to Pakistan and is believed to support the peace process initiated by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, and sponsored by Pakistan.

Man Sewer's call for unity is in response to a son of Mullah Omar, Yacoob, who opposed Man Sewer's election that was held in Quetta, Pakistan. The Taliban leader has been basically leading the club as Omar's deputy for the past 3 years, so why not give the guy a break? He's doing his best to calm things down among the rank and vile, calling for patience and for the group to ignore reports about the peace process.

"Let me handle things," he is saying in effect. "You wouldn't be disappointed." 

He said the goal of the movement was to establish an Islamic state in Afghanistan, just as always. "The jihad will continue until we establish the Islamic government in our country," he barked.

Obama, in an effort to clarify how he sees the religion of peace said that jihad is about an inner struggle--don't believe this war nonsense. "Oh look, squirrel, squirrel!"
