Afghanistan

Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Tuesday, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby actually faced a grilling over the Biden administration’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan that abandoned as many as 200 Americans and tens of thousands of Afghan allies. The usually friendly broadcast for Democrats hammered the Defense Department spokesman over how so many could have left behind to…

As of Monday night, the United States has left Afghanistan, abandoning “several hundred” Americans to their fates at the hands of the Taliban. So it’s worth reminding journalists that Joe Biden lied to George Stephanopoulos on August 19 when he swore to the Good Morning America host: “If there’s American citizens left, we’re going to stay until we get them all out.”…

As a global pandemic raged and governments began locking down and sheltering citizens in place, the United States Congress allocated $46.5 billion in rental assistance. With a moratorium in place to prevent evictions, Congress was mindful landlords would need help paying the mortgages on their rental properties. Renters would need help paying rent. Over the last year, only $1.7 billion of the…

On Sunday, President Biden spat in the faces of the grieving families whose loved ones, service members were killed by a suicide bomb at the Kabul airport last week. As their bodies were being tended to during the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base, Biden repeatedly looked down at his watch as if he was counting the minutes until the inconvenient photo op was over. Meanwhile, the…

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell on Tuesday concluded that the absolute disaster in Afghanistan is so terrible, even Joe Biden’s reliable chorus in the press can’t salvage it. Appearing on Fox Business’s Varney and Co., he predicted that they would try (and fail) to save Biden’s reputation.

The White House is running out of people to blame for the botched exit out of Afghanistan, and some news networks aren’t letting them off the hook. ABC continued to hold the Biden administration’s feet to the fire on Tuesday, with George Stephanopoulos confronting National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Biden’s failed promise to Americans on Tuesday’s Good Morning America.

Facebook has reportedly backtracked after it deleted the account of Shana Chappell, the grieving mother of Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, who was killed in Afghanistan last week. Like so many other censorship instances before, the Big Tech platform claimed the removal was a mistake, according to the New York Post.

Americans were left outraged Monday after the Biden administration completely pulled out of Afghanistan and left behind some 250 American citizens to be hostages and targets of the Taliban. And in their infinite wisdom, officials anticipated that the Taliban would be kept busy fighting ISIS-K. But in a Special Report and on World News Tonight, ABC News warned viewers that Americans…

NBC didn’t pull any punches Monday when it came to slamming the Biden administration following the announcement that the final U.S. plane had left Afghanistan, officially ending the war. Over the course of Special Report and NBC Nightly News, foreign correspondent Richard Engel and fellow NBC liberals gave a remarkable amount of historical context, criticism of the Biden…

With the final military planes off the tarmac and out of Afghan airspace, the Biden administration was desperate to try to paint their deadly disaster as some sort of success. Each of the press secretaries and top officials at the White House, State Department, and Pentagon parroted the same talking point that it was the largest airlift in U.S. history. But CBS News popped their bubble Monday…

Hours before the U.S. military announced the official end of the war in Afghanistan, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki took heavy fire on Monday afternoon from a litany of establishment liberal media outlets, Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich, and usual cast member Philip Wegmann over the administration’s handling of the withdrawal, what to say to those being left behind, and whether America is now…

The media only wants to promote gold star families who blame Republican presidents.  Imagine if the following quote was about Donald Trump: “Twenty years and 6 months old, getting ready to go home from freaking Jordan to be home with his wife to watch the birth of his son, and that feckless, dementia-ridden piece of crap just sent my son to die.”

But it wasn’t. It was about President…

At the conclusion of MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Monday, NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel reflected on the impact of the Biden administration’s “chaotic withdrawal” from Afghanistan. He warned that “the next Osama bin Laden” may be emboldened by the disastrous surrender and that it represented “the worst capitulation of western values in our lifetimes.”

On the eve of the final withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, only ABC’s Good Morning America specifically mentioned that Joe Biden’s disaster will abandon at least 250 Americans in the country. CBS This Morning, for example, vaguely mentioned “some” would be left behind.
