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. 

Despite Chuck Todd warning on Sunday’s Meet the Press that President Biden’s falling poll numbers amid the disaster in Afghanistan could signal a “forever stain” on his presidency, that evening’s Nightly News and Monday’s Today show completely ignored the negative findings in the network’s latest survey. While both broadcasts continued covering the Afghanistan…

CBS News just proved how far down the whirlpool of nonsense it’s willing to go. The outlet actually blamed climate change for Afghanistan’s terrorism outbreak following President Joe Biden’s massive foreign policy failure.

On Morning Joe, Washington Post columnist Max Boot says that Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo "just need to find a good opportunity right now to just shut up and stop criticizing" Biden's mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal.

The roundtable on ABC's "This Week" was rather rough on President Biden regarding his Afghanistan fiasco. It was encapsulated by senior national correspondent Terry Moran describing Biden as "adrift from the facts." Even NPR's Michel Martin called the withdrawal a "botched operation."

While Secretary of State Blinken was busy digging a hole on CBS by admitting the Biden administration was asking the Taliban for “permission” to evacuate our people on Sunday, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan pulled up in a rhetorical excavator on NBC’s Meet the Press and blamed those trapped Americans for the existence of the evacuation crisis because they didn’t leave sooner…

The Biden administration was having an extremely rough time spinning their Afghanistan failure as they made the rounds on the Sunday shows. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made things exponentially worse on CBS’s Face the Nation after fill-in moderator Major Garrett got him to admit the administration was asking the Taliban for “permission” to get Americans out of the country.

A week after the fall of Afghanistan, the response from the Biden administration was floundering as thousands of Americans were still trapped in Kabul and other places in the country. With the State Department telling Americans they needed to brave the streets and the Taliban in order to get to the airport and home, ABC’s Martha Raddatz pressed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Sunday’s …
