US Marine wounded in Afghanistan suicide bombing during the retreat, gets to hear Biden lie about Beau


The US Marine who lost an arm and leg by the Abbey Gate at Kabul's airport in 2021 in a suicide bombing along with 13 dead American service members and over 170 Afghan civilians, recalled a weird moment he had with alleged President Joe Biden after he arrived for treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, in Baltimore, MD. 

Marine Corps Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews was greeted by members of the U.S. military officials who visited him at the hospital for "photo ops" and so did Biden and Doctor Jill Biden, his learned wife.

Sgt. Vargas-Andrews spoke in a recent appearance on the "Shawn Ryan Show," where he described the clusterfrack withdrawal from Afghanistan, as well as how he ended up meeting with the confused Biden.

He said that he was asked by the generals who visited him in the hospital whether he wanted to meet the president so he could be thanked for his service. He was uncomfortable with the request and still sedated for pain but nevertheless, he was open to the idea.

"I told them, I was like, hold all of my opioids, like hold all of my narcotics and stuff. Like I want to be coherent when I meet him," Vargas-Andrews recalled as he awaited a visit from Biden. "They held all my pain meds." He was informed that the president should arrive in "about an hour."

"Well, one hour goes by. Nothing. Two hours go by. Nothing," Vargas-Andrews said. still refusing pain medication. Then "[T]hree hours go by, and it's like four hours at this point. My mom's furious. She's like ‘what the f--k. Where is this guy?’"

Eventually, Secret Service officers arrived and Vargas-Andrews became confused about who the president was. "I had no idea who the president was. I didn't think it was Trump. I didn't think it was Biden. My brain couldn't make the connection," he said.

Upon learning from his mother that the president was Biden, Vargas-Andrews said he leaned back and said, "Oh my f---ing God."

"Two minutes later, he walks in with [Doctor] Jill Biden and their little entourage of people and like a photographer," he recalled. "Right away, I remember him coming up to me trying to shake my hand, shake my right hand, and I look at him, and I'm like 'I don't have an arm.' My left arm is in this big a-- cast with this giant orange f---ing foam block around it. I'm completely immobile. All I can do is move my head."

"He says, ‘Oh,’ and kind of stands up and then goes over to reach for my fingers… and just like grabs my fingers. Doesn't greet me or anything, just grabbed my fingers. I was like, okay that's weird."

Vargas-Andrews said the Bidens "almost immediately starts talking about how their son served in the military. [He] doesn't say anything about what happened, just starts talking about how their son served in the military." 

"My mom's furious at this point and they're like taking pictures and stuff," he said of the encounter. Vargas-Andrews also said his mother made it clear during the president's visit to the hospital that the government should help her son "for the rest of his life" after the attack.

"She said that and I'm sitting there and he comes over to me, he leans over to me… and he's like, ‘What do you want?’"

Confused, Vargas-Andrews asked the president, "What?"

After Biden repeated himself, Vargas-Andrews recalled, "I'm just like confused. I just got blown up. I just saw my f--king friends die next to me. I'm like, I just want to be myself."

"He's like huh and my mom's furious, and she's like he just wants to be himself. He just wants to be him," he said.

"He goes, ‘Oh, okay," and they just continue to talk about everything but what just happened," he added. "They just ushered him out of the room. He didn’t know what to say. And that was that."

Imagine that--his staff had to usher the president out of the room because he forgot where the door was located, I bet.

Vargas-Andrews said his mother later reached out to the first lady in an attempt to help get legislation passed to assist caretakers financially. He said they "pretended to help" and that his mother was later "brushed off."

Vargas-Andrews said they "pretended like they were connecting her to the right individuals and didn't f---ing help her at all."

It seems like everything Biden says is him pretending.

Biden rejects criticism of pullout clusterfrack from Afghanistan


Biden flashes a "White Supremacy" gesture

Alleged President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. poo-pooed the criticism he received by functional people regarding the clusterfrack of the Afghanistan withdrawal that led to the deaths of 13 American service personnel. 

His response to criticism on an interview Sunday was that "no one's come up with a way to indicate to me" how to withdraw "without anybody getting hurt." Had he even bothered to read "How to Pull Out of a Taliban Overthrown Nation for Dummies" he might have actually done a better job. 

Usually when you have civilians and military in a foreign country where ongoing hostilities have been happening for decades, the smart move would be to evacuate the civilians first, including allies who helped our troops and all Americans and green card holders. You certainly would not have chosen Harmid Karzai International Airport, a single runway airport to withdraw from. Instead, you would have chosen Bagram airport which is much larger and easier to defend. And you would not leave in the middle of fighting season--you would wait until winter.

Next you would systematically withdraw the military along with the equipment and weapons and protect them as they leave. You wouldn't leave anything behind for the enemy to use against the Afghans who remain in country.

It's right there on page one of the "For Dummies" book.

During an interview with CBS News Correspondent Rita Braver, Biden mentioned Afghanistan, claiming that he opposed the war from the beginning and shifting responsibility for the horrendous withdrawal because he has never had the buck stop at his desk. 

Not only has he opposed the war in Afghanistan, Biden also opposed the killing of Bin Laden, the funding of Israel's defensive Iron Dome system that helps thwart Hamas missile attacks on civilians, and the Gulf War. 

"Afghanistan. Well, I've been against that war in Afghanistan from the very beginning," Biden said. "We're spending $300 million a week in Afghanistan over 20 years."

"Everybody says, ‘You could have gotten out without anybody being hurt,’" the house plant continued to mumble. "No one's come up with a way to indicate to me how that happens." [See "For Dummies" above]

Actually, Biden didn't oppose the invasion of Afghanistan--he lied.

As a senator from Delaware, he joined his colleagues, who voted unanimously in support of the 2001 authorization of military force against "nations, organizations, or persons" that then-President George W. Bush determined to have helped perpetrate the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The alleged President has repeatedly spoken about his opposition when he was Vice President under then-President Barack Obama. He touted his opposition to Obama's "surge" of additional troops into Afghanistan in 2009. But his opposition to the surge is not the same as him being "against that war . . . from the very beginning." He was for it before he was against it.

"President Biden, please send us money and supplies"

Biden's argument about the criticism he received about the withdrawal was a misdirection of what the real criticism was: breaking his promise not to leave Americans behind, beside the unnecessary loss of lives and other matters.

"If there's American citizens left, we're gonna stay to get them all out," Biden bragged to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, on August 16. But on August 31, the ficus marked the end of the war in Afghanistan with a speech in which he lied that "about 100 to 200 Americans remain in Afghanistan with some intention to leave."

"What’s really troublesome and almost frightening to know is that we have a commander in chief who does not see the imperative of bringing the Americans home," Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William "Jerry" Boykin told Fox News in an interview on September 1. "That’s a longstanding ethos, not just of the military, but of America."

After the clusterfrack of a withdrawal, Boykin and other retired military leaders called for the resignations of Biden's top military and diplomats, including national security advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and the Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley. 

As Afghanistan insidiously deteriorates economically, the Taliban is begging for the U.S. and other of its enemies to send money aid in order for them to remain in power and suppress the freedom and self-determination of the people they have been allowed to conquer.

USMC Lt. Col. Scheller sentence to reprimand, forfeiture in pay



The U.S. Marine who, on social media, had the stones to criticize the military's and Biden administration's mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal has been issued a letter of reprimand and a forfeiture of $5,000 worth of pay for a month after he pleaded guilty to all charges in his court-martial hearing.

Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. pled guilty to all six misdemeanor-level charges on Thursday. These charges include: willfully disobeying a superior [read 'inferior'] commissioned officer, dereliction in the performance of duties [because he is not supposed to criticize incompetence of higher-ranked officers] and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.

On Friday, yhe judge, said he would have given a two-month forfeiture of pay, but let it slide since Scheller had previously spent 9 days in the brig for pre-trial punishment [my take].

Scheller was freed from the brig last week where he was being held for refusing to give up on his personal campaign to point out the breathtaking incompetence of those leading the clown show in the Afghanistan clusterfrack of a withdrawal that saw hundreds killed, including 13 US servicemen and women and dozens of Afghan-American citizens.

The judge said he does not condone Scheller’s offenses, but noted his 17 year Marine Corps career, saying that before his [selfless act of courage] social media incident, his record was outstanding and that he weighed this heavily.

The letter of reprimand was much less than what was recommended. The prosecution recommended a forfeiture of $5,000 of pay for 6 months and a letter of reprimand. The maximum penalty could have been forfeiture of 2/3 monthly pay for 12 months and a letter of reprimand.

Lt. Col. Scheller was relieved of his command at a Camp Lejeune infantry training battalion in August after he posted the video to Facebook and LinkedIn discussing the bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport.

"Did anyone raise their hand and say, ‘We completely messed this up?'" Scheller had asked in a video. "I’m not saying we can take back what has been done. All I asked for was accountability, for people to comment on what I said and to say, ‘Yes. Mistakes were made.’ And had they done that I would've gone back into rank and file, submitted, and accomplished what I wanted."

His other charges include contempt toward officers, disrespect toward superior commissioned officers and failure to obey order or regulation given by Biden sycophants.

Biden is helping the Taliban build back better: former CIA chief sees POTUS move as "absolutely inspiring" jihadists

Inspiring confidence everywhere he mumbles

Former CIA Director Michael Morell, who served under the Obama-Biden administration, said on Sunday that President Biden's chaotic retreat from Afghanistan and subsequent Taliban takeover "absolutely inspired" jihadists and emboldened terrorists across the globe. [H/T Fox News]

Morell appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday where he said that the Taliban will likely "flow back" into Afghanistan and make the region "more dangerous than other spots on the planet." This is because the Taliban is an Islamist terrorist organization that, thanks to Joe Biden, now has become one of the most, if not the most, powerful terrorist group on the planet after inheriting tens of billions of dollars in U.S. military equipment we left behind for them.

"I think that the Taliban winning the war in Afghanistan, and then the way our exit happened, has absolutely inspired jihadists all over the world," Morell told host Margaret Brennan.

Technically speaking, the Taliban didn't actually win the war; the U.S. just lost it and the Taliban stepped into a pile of cow plop luck that the Biden-Harris-Obama-Klain-Jarrett-AOC-Sanders administration provided for them.

"The Taliban is saying, we just didn't defeat the United States, we defeated NATO. We defeated the world's greatest military power, ever. So there's a celebration going on," he added.

"I think, not only will the jihadists be inspired, but a lot of them are going to come to Afghanistan to be part of the celebration, to be part of jihadist central," Morell said. 

So yes, this covert administration that goes by the name "Biden administration" has made the Taliban great again by helping them to build back better. Okay, they were never really great, they sucked then and they suck now, but you get the picture.


Asked whether the U.S. is at greater risk in the region without a military presence in the country, Morell said explicitly, "we are more at risk, without a doubt. We haven’t yet put together a strategy...to collect intelligence, and then the Department. of Defense has to figure out this over the horizon capability," he said.

Even former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who worked closely with Biden before his severe cognitive decline told "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" on Monday that "the most important thing for this president to do is be willing to accept responsibility for the mistakes and move on, and to basically do what is necessary now to protect our national security."

Panetta explained that Biden has a responsibility "to do whatever the hell is necessary to get all U.S. personnel and Afghan allies who fought alongside us out of Afghanistan."

But let's face it--Biden can't even get out a clear sentence without screwing it up.

Alexandria Openly-Commie defends her sweet abuelo Biden on his Afghan screwup


Congressperson Alexandria Openly-Commie, aka AOC, (Socialist-NY) defended the memory of her abuelo by standing behind President Joe Biden on the clusterfrack withdrawal from Afghanistan that he called a huge success in spite of the nearly 200 deaths of Afghan citizens and 13 U.S. military personnel as a result of his moronic decisions. But now, with AOC on his side, he is in good company.

The democratic socialist, in a tweet, referred to the hasty, Taliban-led withdrawal as "courageous" for some reason, although Biden didn't have to be there and could care less who got killed as long as he could say he got the people out of there by the Taliban-imposed deadline.

Maybe AOC thinks it's courageous that Biden let the Taliban be in charge of Kabul, in spite of them telling the U.S. that we could be responsible for the withdrawal. Biden gave them the power to make the airport and city a "kill box." That isn't exactly courageous as much as it is incredibly stupid. And remember, Biden had nothing personal to lose and only political points to gain, he believed.

The idiot from Yorktown Heights, NY, a person responsible for causing Amazon to look elsewhere for an additional headquarters causing the loss of tens of thousands of high-paying jobs for the city and her district, is not known for her appearances at Mensa meetings. 

But hey, neither is Joe Biden.

AOC tweeted:
In case you're wondering why people are going on TV relentlessly attacking Biden for his courageous decision to leave Afghanistan when no other president would, here's one glimpse as to why.
War is addictive for the few who reap its profits, while the rest of us foot the bill. 

"Sandy from the Bronx," as Tucker Carlson refers to this twit, called the situation in Afghanistan a "crisis" and blamed the United States without mentioning her internalized abuelo, grandpa Joe, and his involvement in the incredible screwup.  

"We have a moral obligation to the Afghan people. The U.S. role in this crisis is indisputable," she tweeted, totally discounting how the country will now likely be used as a safe harbor for Islamic terrorists. Al Qaeda leaders have already arrived there, perhaps to plan jihadi events across the globe.

"We must waste no time or expense in helping refugees safely & swiftly leave Afghanistan. We must immediately welcome them to the U.S. & provide real support as they rebuild their lives," she said, knowing that she will not personally have to live with these unvetted refugees nor have to foot the bill. Democrats are always quick to spend your money as they see fit--and we let them!

Biden was clearly annoyed and defensive in an address to the nation on Tuesday, the day after the evacuation circus ended in Afghanistan that stranded between hundreds of Americans citizens and thousands of Afghans who helped us, including one interpreter who rescued Biden in Afghanistan some years ago.

His bragging about the number of people rescued [mostly unvetted Afghans] was like a pyromaniac setting a house ablaze and bragging about how quickly the fire department arrived to put it out after it burned down.

Glenn Beck has a really good take on what went down in Afghanistan:


"We completed one of the biggest airlifts in history, with more than 120,000 people evacuated to safety," Biden mush-mouthed. "No nation has ever done anything like it in all of history."

Except we did in all our wars until Vietnam, and then this one withdrawal became the worst ever.

Biden's approval rating has rightfully plunged in several polls since this debacle that some called a "moment of American humiliation." One poll showed his approval rating plunging to 41% after he had enjoyed ratings above 50%. 

It's hard to believe that 41% of the nation are that unaware and only get their news from the legacy media.

Taliban goes house-to-house executing Afghans after we leave




We left Afghanistan in the bloody hands of the Taliban, a group of terrorists who lie and deceive [Islamic term for this is taqiyya] in order to push their barbaric agenda. Had we left our skeleton force there, this would not be happening. And to call this America's endless war is a misnomer because the actual warring basically ended in 2014. We haven't lost a soul there in 18 months.

But we left the Afghans and deserted our allies faster than a light turning green and a New York cabbie blowing his horn.

Chilling audio of gunshots seem to confirm reports of "house-to-house executions" as our terrorist partners go on a killing spree in Kabul now that we're gone.

Thank you, Joe Biden and the rest of your scumcrumpets.

An Afghan man who worked with Americans on the ground provided Fox News with the horrible audio featuring distant gunshots. [H/T Fox News]

"I think there's a conflict between the Taliban, I have no idea where I'm located. From everywhere I hear the sounds of shooting, gunfire. I have no idea how to leave," the Afghan man said in the audio clip, recorded around the time the final U.S. plane left Kabul.

Gee, what a coincidence. It's as if they couldn't wait for us to go.

Biden did not deny a Politico report that U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of American citizens, green card holders, and Afghan allies in an effort to grant them entry to the airport which resulted in outrage from military officials behind the scenes. The president said "there may have been" such a list. "Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list," one defense official told Politico.

Taliban militants were carrying out "house-to-house executions in Kabul" after the U.S. departure, a senior U.S. source told Fox News Investigative journalist Lara Logan.

"The last American soldier left Kabul airport at 9pm Afghan time tonight and our country gained full independence. Thank God and blessings," the Taliban tweeted. By 'God' they mean Allah. By 'independence' they mean oppression.

Last Wednesday, a former translator for a high-ranking U.S. Army Ranger told Fox News the Taliban had started executing allies of the U.S. in public, in provinces away from the media attention of Kabul.

"They are not doing really bad stuff in Kabul right now because there's a lot of media focus on Kabul, but they already started public execution in other provinces where a lot of media is not available or covering it," the interpreter said.

Meanwhile, President Biden broke his promise to stay in Afghanistan until all Americans have been evacuated. 

Miss Trump yet?

The DOJ sues NY for giving illegal aliens discounts on college tuition and the middle finger to US citizens
