On Friday, The 11th Hour guest host Alicia Menendez and Matthew Dowd took time to talk about the real takeaways from the Afghanistan withdrawal: that Republicans don't care about the Constitution and that President Biden is doing yeoman's work.

On today's Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle sought to absolve President Biden for yesterday's terrorist attack that killed 13 American service members and scores of Afghans. Barnicle thrice claimed that "it was always going to end this way, chaos and death."  Translation: it was inevitable. Nothing Biden could have done better. Move along.

When even The New York Times is dunking on the White House, you know things are bad for the flailing Biden administration. During a testy exchange with the liberal paper’s correspondent on Friday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki struggled to invent straw-men arguments to explain away the President’s disastrous incompetence on the Afghanistan withdrawal.

On MSNBC’s 11th Hour Wednesday night, just hours before Thursday’s horrific ISIS terrorist attack in Kabul that killed 13 U.S. service members and over 100 Afghans, host Brian Williams and professional Democratic Party hack James Carville whined about rightfully critical media coverage of President Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. Williams even called for “more friends” of…

On New Day, CNN military analyst retired Major General Spider Marks was outraged that the US government will be leaving Americans behind in Afghanistan, saying it goes against the "no man left behind" ethos of the US military. He says the US needs to "get in the face" of the Taliban, and tell them that all Americans and SIV holders will be evacuated, either with the Taliban's cooperation or…

On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe was hoping that the Afghanistan catastrophe would “fade from the headlines” just in time for President Biden and the Democratic Party to make a political comeback before the 2022 midterm elections. The liberal wish-casting even went so far as to suggest “more and more people are going to agree with what he did” and eventually give him “credit” for the…

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court declined to issue a stay of a lower court ruling that the Biden administration's decision to repeal former President Trump's Remain in Mexico was "arbitrary and capricious" and thus illegal. On Wednesday, CNN Newsroom host Jim Sciutto declared this to be an outrageous act of hypocrisy.

Has Newsweek lost its mind? The outlet published an insane article giving the Taliban praise for promising to fight “terror” and “climate change” in order to gain legitimacy in world politics.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough supports President Biden's decision not to extend the August 31st deadline for evacuating American citizens and Afghan allies from Afghanistan. Scarborough says he's worried about attacks by ISIS and the more radical elements of the Taliban. 

On Wednesday, as news broke of bipartisan members of Congress traveling to Kabul to conduct oversight of the Biden administration’s disastrous and rushed withdrawal from Afghanistan, hack reporters on the CBS and NBC morning shows parroted nasty White House talking points smearing the lawmakers – both Afghan war veterans – as “selfish” politicians creating a “distraction.”

With reports that the military was beginning to withdraw from the Kabul airport long before all Americans were evacuated from Afghanistan, former Republican Matthew Dowd made an appearance on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront on Tuesday to prove to everyone he was living in another reality. According to his rambling, Biden was America’s miracle worker that deserved praise because he had…

On Tuesday, President Biden made it clear that he would not extend the evacuation of Americans and allies past his arbitrary August 31 deadline. And with the military’s need to pack up their own stuff and Fox News warning that the military would leave in roughly three days, it was obvious Biden was ready to completely abandon Americans to their fate with the Taliban. And of the big three…

A CNN New Day guest this morning was Army Reserve Major Matt Zeller. He is part of an informal network of military and intel people with previous Afghanistan experience who are now trying to help Afghan allies to evacuate. Asked to comment on whether an extension of the August 31st deadline for evacuation is desirable, Zeller said: "The reality is we do need more time [or] we're going to end…

Appearing on MSNBC’s MTP Daily Tuesday afternoon, NBC chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel predicted that history would look back on President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan as “a very dark period for the United States,” especially after news broke that the administration would allow the Taliban to dictate the time line.
