Just a few days ago, the Biden Administration announced its findings per the August, 2021 pullout from Afghanistan…which ordinarily would have called for Biden’s impeachment, since leaving your people behind is something commanders never do, but he did, and he feels no remorse, nor responsibly for the disaster.
In fact, he is “proud” of what he did and marks his report card A-plus.
Let NPR sum it up: “The Biden White House put out its long-awaited report on the widely criticized fall of Afghanistan. U.S. forces hastily withdrew in August 2021 as the Taliban re-captured the country. Amid the chaos, a suicide bombing killed 13 U.S. troops and more than 100 Afghans.
“The 12-page summary blamed the Trump administration, bad intelligence and the Afghans themselves.”
Got that? Biden did it, but it’s Trump’s fault…and that, in a nutshell, is the story of America, 2023…so far as the coverage we can expect…onto 2024 and beyond.
Everything is Trump’s fault, as in Israel, everything is Netanyahu’s fault.
Surprisingly, NPR gave it straight. For the rest of the media, it was just another day to falsify the record and to keep the plate of truth half empty.
They will only tell you one half the story, their half, and if your neighbor tells you he never heard of Hunter Biden and the Laptop from Hell, believe him.
Believe him if he tells you that he knows nothing about members of the Biden family, including the Big Guy, getting themselves rich via bag money from China, Russia, Ukraine.
Nor is he aware that Biden’s open border policy allows in a melting pot of undesirables, bringing with them disease, crime and drugs, and generally, men without women.
Nor is he aware that Biden’s generosity pays hefty sums to Israel-hating terrorists.
He also does not know the latest, that people are getting fed up with corporate woke-ism, as evidenced by the revolt against Bud Light…instant backlash when the company featured a transgender to market the product, and sales of the beer took a dive, costing the company billions, thanks to disgusted consumers.
He can’t be expected to know any of that because he reads The New York Times, and only watches ABC, NBC, or CBS…as do most Americans bamboozled by Woke Media." Far fewer watch mostly-Conservative Fox News, which does spice it up with views from the Left, if you’re okay with Jessica Tarlov on “The Five,” the lady who always protests too much. The mainstream media does not reciprocate. Over there, only one point of view is permitted.
Depart from the orthodoxy, and you will be branded a racist, even worse, a Trump ideologue, and speaking of Trump, the gloating by the media over his being shamed by Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg…the real shame is over all our heads for an act that diminishes the office of the presidency, Democrat or Republican.
Nothing like this was ever done in this country, and surely Trump…who allegedly tried to hush up an affair…would have been better off In France.
There, a leader who has not at least one mistress on the side, is laughed at as suspicious and inadequate. That was the case with King Louis XVI.
Regicide it was when Louis XVI was reduced from monarch to “citizen,” tried to flee, got caught, was beheaded, in the crosshairs of the French Revolution.
A form of all that is true for Trump, certainly the aspect of reducing him from leader to citizen, through four years of false charges broadcast via impeachment hearings.
Off with his head, they clamored…in parliamentary-speak.
Today it’s a different type of revolution, or maybe it’s the same thing…one party, the Democrats, hell-bent to take over the entire system.
They’ve pretty much got it done. Dear Readers in Israel…does all this sound familiar to you re: Netanyahu?
Here and there, they’ve already got the media firmly on their side as advocates and propogandists.
For the rest of us, the fight for truth has barely begun.
