We Have No President<\/a><\/p>\n

Diplomacy was back. Leadership was back. The adults were back in the White House. That\u2019s what we were sold. That\u2019s what we were told. Liberal reporters basked in the afterglow. The political class breathed a sigh of relief. And the honeymoon commenced. Everything Joe did had an aura of being “historic.” The man got ice cream and this media establishment would go bananas. And then, reality hit. They forgot about our longest war in Afghanistan which was unraveling. And Joe\u2019s inability to get a handle on the crisis shows that the White House has truly become the Home of the Merciful Rest. We have no leader.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden still has not owned this crisis. He has yet to say, \u2018I screwed up.\u2019 He keeps saying the buck stops with me. Sure, that is until the images of desperate Afghans trying to get inside the airport at Kabul are blasted on the television sets. Then, it rapidly becomes \u2018it\u2019s Trump\u2019s fault\u2019 which is a talking point that his people tried to peddle but didn\u2019t stick. It\u2019s simply too pathetic to even repeat. What\u2019s more disturbing is how this administration thought it was fine to simply ignore the collapse of Afghanistan. Maybe the liberal media wouldn\u2019t cover it. It explains why Joe thought he could remain on vacation at Camp David. It\u2019s why Jen Psaki tried to take the week off. It was only after EVERYONE slammed them that they poured their pina coladas out and returned to work. Yes, some serious adulting here\u2014true profiles in leadership here.<\/p>\n

The chaos in Kabul was simply too great to ignore. This is our longest war. We have operational infrastructure here\u2014and it all went to crap rapidly. The thing is we knew this was going to happen. Did anyone really think the Afghan government whose credibility arguably died in 2009 when Hamid Karzai stuffed ballot boxes and committed widespread voter fraud, would last? The Taliban were going to make massive gains. We knew this. Days after Biden\u2019s July 8 remarks where he said the Afghan government would remain and that this wouldn\u2019t be like Saigon 1975, the State Department sent a memo painting a much different picture. It was obviously ignored.<\/p>\n

Joe was so obsessed with leaving on August 31 that he didn\u2019t have a plan to get 15,000 American citizens out of the country before then. It\u2019s obvious. We\u2019re scrambling. And we\u2019re not doing anything to expand our perimeter or venture out to get our citizens out of harm\u2019s way. We\u2019re trusting the Taliban to behave. We\u2019re trusting terrorists to behave. The adults are back in the White House, they said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Throughout the summer, this White House knew things were going to disintegrate in Afghanistan. Maybe they should have drafted a plan to get our citizens out, destroy weapons caches and other technology we couldn\u2019t bring back, and if more troops were necessary, deploy them. We did the latter rapidly when images of chaos were seen at the airport in Kabul and Afghans were falling from planes. We did that. Biden didn\u2019t want to send any more troops because he didn\u2019t want to add more gravestones of America\u2019s finest. Sure\u2014but what are we doing now, Joe? He still thinks we can get all our people out by August 31. That\u2019s not going to happen. He\u2019s been wrong about everything, especially on Afghanistan. And no doubt we\u2019re leaving ourselves open to a potential hostage situation by refusing to let our forces go out and get our people. The Taliban are not afraid to die. They\u2019re not afraid to fight. And they\u2019ve defeated us. They\u2019ve defeated the Russians. They defeated the British. Even if we bombed them back into the stone age which we did in 2001-02 after we invaded, they simply rebuilt and now have retaken the country. They can handle long war mentality. We can\u2019t. They know this. Don\u2019t hold onto the \u2018it\u2019s in their interests not to attack\u2019 so firmly. They\u2019ll lose patience. And what will Joe do then?<\/p>\n

Around 600,000 U.S.-taxpayer paid for weapons have been seized by the Taliban. Some will undoubtedly be sold on the black market. There are over 5,000 newly released terrorists we held in Bagram Air Force base that are now free, and seeking vengeance. Russia and China see a depleted, divided, and leaderless America floundering our withdrawal. They\u2019re going to try to pull some stuff abroad. China will get more aggressive on Taiwan. Russia might have another go at Ukraine. Why not? Biden has shown he\u2019s easily overwhelmed. Ex-CIA operative Bryan Dean Wright noted why our disastrous exit could bring about\u00a0a most dangerous and unpredictable period\u00a0<\/a>Our allies seem dumbfounded by Biden\u2019s inability to execute on anything. Until last weekend, they thought this clown was a foreign policy expert. On every issue, inflation, COVID, Afghanistan, jobs\u2014Biden is failing. He\u2019s failing because he cannot do the job. He cannot handle it. As the liberal media no longer offers protection over Biden\u2019s failure in Afghanistan, you see that we truly do not have a president.<\/p>\n

Joe has got to go, but a President Kamala Harris would be so many times worse. Now, I hope you can understand why so many of us laugh when liberals say that 81 million people voted for this guy. For the legal Biden voters, I hope you\u2019re happy. You own this. Don\u2019t look at us. We voted for an actual president last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
