The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was so badly handled that President Joe Biden should resign because of it, according to a majority of voters. However, most don’t think Vice President Kamala Harris is qualified to replace Biden if he leaves office.
 |
| only 38% of Americans think she is qualified to be President |
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Biden should resign because of the way the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was handled. Thirty-nine percent (39%) disagree, and nine percent (9%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Well I can already anticipate that this will be one of those "but Rasmussen" moments, but Rasmussen is generally fairly close to consensus on most things (42% Biden approval vs 45.8% approval RCP Ave). So figure if there is a bias, it's only by 3-4 points. Either way we can safely say that around half the country believe this was such a major screw up from Biden that he should just go away.
The old saying goes in politics that it is never the crime and always the coverup. While the mistakes in Afghanistan were egregious by all accounts (other than the Biden Administration itself), the fact that Biden refused to say he made mistakes, never offered to change strategy, and publicly demanded that the withdrawal was an unprecedented success. I mean seriously, half the country wants him to resign and he thinks he is a hero.
But ultimately that is probably much of the problem. You start off with something that starts to go awry and people expect you to alter course and try to correct things. But when you stubbornly demand (in spite of all reality) that everything is going wonderfully, then you don't actually do anything to fix anything. It's like it's more important to try to not take political blame than to actually fix what you are being blamed for.
Similar situation is taking place with Covid right now. What we have been doing isn't working. If it was, we wouldn't have had 1200 deaths yesterday (which now appear to be spreading out in California and even Washington). But Biden stubbornly chooses to just keep pointing fingers and demanding that we follow the same script that has not fixed the problem of Covid. There has to be a time when we try something different rather than suggest that you are doing everything perfectly and that there is no problems or change of course necessary.
Biden needs to get over himself, or his advisors better explain to him that things right now are not all rainbows and butterflies. Otherwise he just continues to seem completely out of touch with reality as he has appeared throughout this Afganistan disaster.

Opinion: Who’s to blame for the deaths of 13 service members in Kabul? We all are.
But the narcissistic liar blamed Biden
Opinion by Max Boot
August 29 at 11:31 AM PDT
The last thing President Biden ever wanted to do was to preside over another ramp ceremony for more flag-draped caskets returning home from Afghanistan. Indeed, the entire rationale of his troop withdrawal was to avoid further casualties. Yet there he was on Sunday at Dover Air Force Base honoring the 13 service members killed in the suicide bombing at the Kabul airport. Fate can be cruel that way.
No doubt the president was even more gutted than the rest of us, because he was the one who sent them into harm’s way. In one of her last Instagram posts, Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee had been pictured holding an Afghan baby in her arms. “I love my job,” she said. Now she is gone. Along with Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, who was married in February and expecting his first child; Marine Lance Cpl. David Espinoza, who hailed from the tiny border town of Rio Bravo, Tex., and saw military service as his “calling”; Marine Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola, who wanted to serve his country just like his two great-grandfathers who fought in the Korean War … and so many others.
Their deaths were not in vain. They died so that more than 114,000 people could escape to freedom. Generations as yet unborn will remember these heroes for helping them to find a better life. And yet their sacrifice was also agonizing and unnecessary. Like so many service members throughout U.S. history, they died, in part, because of the blunders of their superiors.
If you ask me who is to blame, I would point not only to Biden but to former president Donald Trump — and to all of us, the people of America. By carrying out this pell-mell withdrawal from Afghanistan, our leaders, after all, were only giving us what we wanted.
In a sense, the fuse of the bomb that exploded on Thursday was lit 18 months ago. That was when Trump, with bipartisan support, concluded a terrible troop-withdrawal deal that freed 5,000 Taliban terrorists and sapped the morale of our Afghan allies. Trump made scant provision to save Afghans who had fought with our troops. Olivia Troye, an aide to former vice president Mike Pence, has recounted how White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller hindered every effort to bring the holders of Special Immigrant Visas to the United States.
Biden should have done better, but he didn’t. In April, also with bipartisan support, he announced that all U.S. forces would rapidly withdraw, along with the 17,000 contractors who kept the Afghan air force flying and the Afghan army supplied. Denied the ability to support their forces, the Afghan military rapidly collapsed in the face of a Taliban offensive.
Yet even as Biden was bowing out, he was ignoring calls from veterans’ groups to evacuate translators and other Afghan allies. Lawmakers, many with military backgrounds, pleaded with the administration to begin a mass evacuation, but their entreaties were ignored.
.
Why? At least three factors were at play. First, Biden was afraid of a xenophobic backlash from bringing so many Afghans to the United States. People like rrb who hates not white enough people, Second, he was concerned about sending a signal of no confidence in the Afghan government. And, third, he wagered that there was plenty of time to get people out later. But the Afghan government unraveled faster than anyone imagined, and desperate mobs of refugees swarmed the airport.
It was only then — with the Taliban already in control of Kabul — that Biden did what he should have done many months earlier: order a massive airlift of Afghans and U.S. citizens out of the country. What once could have been done in an orderly fashion with relatively low risk now became a highly perilous undertaking. The kind of “defense in depth” that was standard at U.S. military bases in Afghanistan — with multiple layers of trusted security personnel — was not possible in this chaotic environment.
U.S. troops were forced to rely on their enemies for outer-perimeter security. We do not know exactly how an Islamic State suicide bomber got close enough to carry out his devastating attack, but suffice it to say the Taliban guards were either incompetent or overwhelmed or simply unwilling to risk their own lives to save “infidels” and “traitors” from the wrath of fellow Islamists.
There are recriminations aplenty, but the sad fact is that the only way to avoid this particular disaster would have been either to stay in Afghanistan indefinitely or to leave our allies behind. Both options would have come with their own costs and were overwhelmingly rejected by the American people: Seventy percent of Americans wanted to withdraw from Afghanistan, and 81 percent wanted to evacuate translators and other allies. Our leaders were simply giving the American people what they thought we wanted.
The truth is that most Americans paid little attention to Afghanistan until recently (the three major television networks devoted a total of five minutes of evening news coverage to the country last year), and they had conflicting desires. They wanted out, but they did not want to bear the consequences of withdrawal. Those clashing impulses produced incoherent policymaking — and resulted in Sunday’s heartbreaking homecoming.
Even Trump doesn't support resignation.
Max Boot deserves a baseball bat to the face.
He was one of the original Afghanistan/Iraq war hawks. He's a piece of shit.

SJDS: Social Justice Douchebag Syndrome.
But this is a big problem for the President.
The War in Afghanistan has always been a black box, but the Biden administration just made matters worse.
According to an admission obtained from the State Department, Biden officials recently directed federal agencies to scrub their websites of official reports detailing the $82.9 billion in military equipment and training provided to the Afghan security forces since 2001.
The scrubbed audits and reports included detailed accounting of what the U.S. had provided to Afghan forces, down to the number of night vision devices, hand grenades, Black Hawk helicopters, and armored vehicles.
Reports further quantified 208 aircraft and helicopters; 75,000 war vehicles – including 22 Humvees, 50,000 tactical vehicles and nearly 1,000 mine resistant vehicles; and 600,000 weapons – including 350,000 M4 and M16 rifles, 60,000 machine guns, and 25,000 grenade launchers.
The State Department admitted to removing the reports but justified the move as a way to protect Afghan allies. According to a spokesperson:
“The safety of our Afghan contacts is of utmost importance to us. The State Department advised other federal agencies of to [sic] review their web properties for content that highlights cooperation/participation between an Afghan citizen and the USG or a USG partner and remove from public view if it poses a security risk.”
It’s worth noting that the Biden administration already put these partners at risk when officials provided lists of Afghan nationals to the Taliban in a misguided attempt to clear them for evacuation. The Taliban, a known terrorist organization with a history of murdering Afghan citizens working alongside U.S. forces, should never have been trusted with those names.
I thought they had scrambled the software and the weapon.

Scott just step back and think about how complicated it is.
Bush and Obama and Trump had a role in this case.
Any President has only so many issues that can overwhelm them with intelligence and advice from the militarily and intelligence agencies...
They all make mistakes!
52% say Biden should resign!
That wouldn't be a RASMUSSEN poll, would it?
I thought so.

Considering the fact that the left has gleefully and willfully delivered all of this as one big gift to the Tally-Bon, I don't want to hear another fucking word from any leftist on the topic of gun control from now until the end of fucking time.
On the topic of gun control - fuck off and die.
The Afghan army was totally dependent on American intelligence and air power to fight the Taliban. As long as they had confidence the US had their back they were confident in taking the fight to the Taliban.
Once the US pulled their support, Afghan confidence collapsed and the army folded like a house of cards. The US military intelligence knew this.
They all make mistakes!
Arming our enemy and delivering hundreds of Americans as hostages is not a mistake, alky.
It's fucking TREASON.
There's no moral equivalence here with Bush, 0linsky and Trump. NONE.
This is the most epic foreign policy/military fail in the history of the republic. Bar fucking NONE.
THAT'S the magnitude of this disaster.

AS THE LYING RIGHTWING MEDIA WANT YOU TO THINK

Marshall Project:
“Since last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests, there’s a popular refrain echoing through urban police precincts, rural sheriff’s offices, and city halls everywhere in between: officers are fleeing America’s police forces in big numbers.
“According to federal data, those worries are unfounded.
Last year, as the overall U.S. economy shed 6% of workers,
local police departments lost just under 1% of employees after a decade of steady expansion…
That’s about 4,000 people out of nearly half a million employees in municipal police departments and sheriff’s offices nationwide.
“State and federal law enforcement departments actually saw a slight increase in the number of employees.”
Enormous as it is, the number of people evacuated by air from Kabul since the end of July — about 122,000 — is not large enough. Thankfully, many thousands of American citizens, third-country nationals and Afghans who worked directly for U.S. and allied military forces or embassies made it out.
But many thousands of people did not, including former U.S. interpreters and their families, and Afghans classified by President Biden and his administration as “vulnerable” — such as staff for U.S.-based nongovernmental organizations and women’s rights activists.
As security worsened in the wake of a horrific terrorist attack at the airport last Thursday, and as U.S. troops prepared for their own departure on Monday, time and space ran out for these people. This is a moral disaster, one attributable not to the actions of military and diplomatic personnel in Kabul — who have been courageous and professional, in the face of deadly dangers — but to mistakes, strategic and tactical, by Mr. Biden and his administration.
Those left behind appear to include many local journalists who worked for U.S.-supported media such as the Afghan service of RFE/RL. Painfully emblematic, too, is the experience of the American University of Afghanistan, all but a few of whose roughly 4,000 students, faculty, alumni and employees remain in Kabul. AUAF was the signature U.S.-funded civilian institution in Kabul. The school symbolized not just the U.S.-Afghan relationship, but modernity itself. Therefore, it came under repeated and deadly attack from the Taliban, yet brave and determined women and men continued to teach and study there — until Kabul fell and the Taliban raised its flag over the campus. A last-ditch attempt to bus several hundred members of the university community to the airport ended in frustration Sunday, when it became clear that civilian rescue flights were ending. Now, university officials tell us, these — mostly young — Afghans are back in Kabul, feeling abandoned and afraid.

Then explain why NYPD retirement filings were SUSPENDED, pederast. This shit's been going on for a fucking YEAR.:
The New York Police Department has seen a "surge" in the number of officers filing for retirement, according to Sgt. Mary Frances O'Donnell, who called the trend "troubling."
From June 29 to July 6, filings soared 411% from the same period a year earlier, according to O'Donnell, a spokesperson for the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information.
The upsurge comes as calls have mounted to defund police departments and as protests against police actions continue since the Memorial Day death of George Floyd during an arrest in Minneapolis.
Mayor Bill De Blasio said last month the city would move some of its funding from the department to youth and social services.

“State and federal law enforcement departments actually saw a slight increase in the number of employees.”
Governor Greg Abbott has signed into law a bill requiring all Texans to submit to counselling before being allowed to vote.
The law mandates a counselling session and a twenty-four-hour waiting period before a voter is permitted to cast a ballot, Abbott explained.
“Many people who think that voting is something they have to do haven’t gotten all of the information available to them,” he said. “There are many alternatives to voting, including not voting.”
“Sometimes, a person is upset with their situation and thinks that voting is the only answer,” the Governor said. “A counsellor can sit with them, pray with them, and help them make the right choice.”
Answering critics who claim that the twenty-four-hour waiting period is designed to keep voters from casting their ballots in a timely fashion, Abbott said, “All we’re trying to do is make sure that voting is the right decision for them. Every day, I hear from people who voted for me who say that they’ll regret that decision for the rest of their lives.”

ALBANY — Many New York police agencies are facing recruitment challenges, with law enforcement executives linking the phenomenon to the "defund the police" movement and a push by some elected officials to make it easier to prosecute officers for alleged use of excessive force.
"Why on earth would anyone want to do this job?" said Patrick Phelan, executive director of the New York State Association of Police Chiefs.

Is the U.S. Withdrawal from Afghanistan the End of the American Empire?
Only time will tell whether the old adage about Afghanistan’s being the graveyard of empires proves as true for the United States as it did for the Soviet Union.
By Jon Lee Anderson
September 1, 2021
For two decades now, the U.S. has seemed increasingly unable to effectively harness its military prowess and economic strength to its advantage.Photograph by Rick Loomis / Los Angeles Times / AFP / Getty
How does an empire die? Often, it seems, there is a growing sense of decay, and then something happens, a single event that provides the tipping point. After the Second World War, Great Britain was all but bankrupt and its Empire was in shreds, but it soldiered on thanks to a U.S. government loan and the new Cold War exigencies that allowed it to maintain the outward appearance of a global player. It wasn’t until the 1956 Suez debacle, when Britain was pressured by the U.S., the Soviet Union, and the United Nations to withdraw its forces from Egypt—which it had invaded along with Israel and France following Gamal Abdel Nasser’s seizure of the Suez Canal—that it became clear that its imperial days were over. The floodgates to decolonization soon opened.
In February, 1989, when the Soviet Union withdrew its military from Afghanistan after a failed nine-year attempt to pacify the country, it did so in a carefully choreographed ceremony that telegraphed solemnity and dignity. An orderly procession of tanks moved north across the Friendship Bridge, which spans the Amu Darya river, between Afghanistan and Uzbekistan—then a Soviet republic. The Soviet commander, Lieutenant-General Boris Gromov, walked across with his teen-age son, carrying a bouquet of flowers and smiling for the cameras. Behind him, he declared, no Soviet soldiers remained in the country. “The day that millions of Soviet people have waited for has come,” he said at a military rally later that day. “In spite of our sacrifices and losses, we have totally fulfilled our internationalist duty.”
Gromov’s triumphal speech was not quite the equivalent of George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” following the 2003 Iraq invasion, but it came close, and the message that it was intended to relay, at least to people inside the Soviet Union, was a reassuring one: the Red Army was leaving Afghanistan because it wanted to, not because it had been defeated. The Kremlin had installed an ironfisted Afghan loyalist who was left to run things in its absence, a former secret-police chief named Najibullah; there was also a combat-tested Afghan Army, equipped and trained by the Soviets.
Meanwhile, the mujahideen guerrilla armies that had been subsidized and armed by the United States and its partners Saudi Arabia and Pakistan were in a celebratory mood. Their combat units were massed outside Afghanistan’s regime-held cities, and there was an expectation that it would not be long before Najibullah succumbed, too, and Kabul would be theirs. In the end, he held out for another three years, with his downfall merely leading to a new civil war.
For all the talk of internationalist duty, the Afghanistan that the Soviets left behind was a charnel ground. Out of its population of twelve million people, as many as two million civilians had been killed in the war, more than five million had fled the country, and another two million were internally displaced. Many of the country’s towns and cities lay in ruins, and half of Afghanistan’s rural villages and hamlets had been destroyed.
Officially, only fifteen thousand or so Soviet troops had been killed—although the real figure may be much higher—and fifty thousand more soldiers were wounded. But hundreds of aircraft, tanks, and artillery pieces were destroyed or lost, and countless billions of dollars diverted from the hard-pressed Soviet economy to pay for it all. However much the Kremlin tried to gloss it over, the average Soviet citizen understood that the Afghanistan intervention had been a costly
It was only eighteen months after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan that a group of hard-liners tried to launch a coup against the reformist premier Mikhail Gorbachev. But they had miscalculated their power, and popular support. In the face of public demonstrations against them, their putsch soon failed, followed by the collapse of the Soviet Union itself. Of course, by then, much beyond the Soviet Union’s Afghan quagmire had conspired to fatally weaken the once powerful Empire from within.
The resemblance to the January 6th attacks is unbelievably clear
I'm amazed and appalled by the number of leftists rooting for American FAILURE from their perches at reliably leftist hack rags.

Resign now: 52% want Biden out but fear worse under Harris

People have seen enough of President Joe Biden and his administration’s bumbling over the Afghan withdrawal and now want him to resign.
In the latest shocking display of the president’s polling free fall, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey found that a majority, 52%, wants Biden to resign over the withdrawal alone. Just 39% disagrees, far short of his political base.
But, as other polls have shown, likely voters surveyed do not want Vice President Kamala Harris to step in, viewing her as unqualified.
The data, shared in advance with Secrets, twins with the president’s weekly job approval rating, which also shows that the nation, for now, has given up on the aging president who sometimes appears fumbling.
Biden’s approval rating is also plummeting and sits about where former President Donald Trump’s approval-disapproval rating had sunk to at this stage in his presidency.
The president’s scrambling to defend the withdrawal and turn the public’s attention to other issues has flopped, according to the survey.
Rasmussen revealed 60% of voters agree with a statement last week by South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham: “I think Joe Biden deserves to be impeached because he’s abandoned thousands of Afghans who fought with us and he’s going to abandon some American citizens because he capitulated to the Taliban to a 31 August deadline.”
However, his lifeline appears to be his vice president and her even worse standing with the public.
Rasmussen found — again, as other polls have — that most do not think the former California senator is up to the job.
Only 38% said she is “qualified” to be president, while a sizable 58% said she isn’t. And 47% said she is “not at all qualified,” the lowest rating in the poll.

The GOP is a gang.
Let’s start there shall we?
On Tuesday, McCarthy threatened the nation’s telecom companies with political retribution if they complied with requests from the House’s Select Committee on January 6.
“If these companies comply with the Democrat order to turn over private information, they are in violation of federal law and subject to losing their ability to operate in the United States,” McCarthy said in Tuesday’s statement. “If companies still choose to violate federal law, a Republican majority will not forget and will stand with Americans to hold them fully accountable under the law.”
Three points need to be made. First, the telecom companies would not be violating federal law by complying with the request to preserve the phone data of witnesses to the January insurrection. Second, this is an open, crude attempt to obstruct the investigation through intimidation. Third, this is not a legal threat. It’s raw thug politics.

Biden can't get shit right because of.....
He's cooperating with the Taliban, he should be the next Benedict Arnold!
The U.S. military is considering coordinating with the Taliban in their apparent shared effort to defeat the Islamic State group's branch in Afghanistan known as ISIS-K, the Pentagon's top officer said Wednesday, even as he described the insurgent group that now rules Kabul as "ruthless."
"It's possible," Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters in a short press conference Wednesday afternoon when asked about joining forces with the Taliban for the counterterror effort.
American officials assess that the Taliban and ISIS-K are at least rivals in Afghanistan, if not sworn enemies. Top military officers have also said that the Taliban's decision to liberate all detainees from prisons the U.S. established during its 20-year war in Afghanistan has returned to the battlefield as many as 2,000 ISIS-K fighters.

Just another dead black man. Because he was black, the police officers and again being charged!
DENVER (AP) — Three suburban Denver police officers and two paramedics were indicted on manslaughter and other charges in the death of Elijah McClain, a Black man who was put in a chokehold and injected with a powerful sedative two years ago, Colorado’s attorney general said Wednesday.
The 23-year-old’s death gained widespread attention during last year’s protests against racial injustice and police brutality following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Just a drug addicted black man!
McClain’s pleading words captured on police body camera video — “I’m just different” — were posted on signs at protests and spoken by celebrities who joined those calling for the prosecution of the officers who stopped McClain as he walked down the street in the city of Aurora after a 911 caller reported that he looked suspicious.
Stories about McClain, a massage therapist described by family and friends as a gentle and kind introvert, filled social media, including how he volunteered to play his violin to comfort cats at an animal shelter.
The Aurora Police Department has been plagued by allegations of misconduct against people of color, including a officer charged this summer with pistol-whipping a Black man. The department’s new chief has vowed to work to rebuild public trust.

In a Monday briefing, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said that Washington was "not in a position to dispute" reports that its drone strike against its ISIS-K target caused civilian casualties, and that the U.S. was investigating.
Kirby added that the U.S. takes such reports "very, very seriously."
'Reports of civilian casualties'
Malika and two other toddlers were the youngest family members killed, along with Ahmadi's nephews Arwin, 7, and Benyamin, 6, and Zemari's two other sons, Zamir, 20, and Faisal, 16, Ahmadi said.
Zemari was a technical engineer for Nutrition and Education International, a nonprofit working to address malnutrition based in Pasadena, California.
Just a day before his death, he had been helping to prepare and deliver soy-based meals to women and children at refugee camps in Kabul, Steven Kwon, president of NEI, told NBC News in an email.
"We are all very saddened and shocked by his sudden death," Kwon said. "He was well-respected by his colleagues and compassionate towards the poor and needy."
Abdul Naser Ahmadi, a colleague and friend of six years to Zemari, said he was devastated, and described Ahmadi as "a good man with good ethics."
Ahmad Naser, a former Afghan Army officer and contractor with the U.S. military, was also killed in the blast, Ramin Yousuf, a cousin of Zemari and Ahmadi's, told NBC News on Tuesday.
Naser had been just days away from marrying Samia Ahmadi, 21, Zemari's daughter, Yousuf, said. He said the family had planned to hold a small wedding this week, with Naser hopeful that he would be able to get some of the family onto an evacuation flight to the U.S.
But instead of a wedding or a new chapter in the U.S. on Monday, the family held a funeral.
"They were all buried," Yousuf, 31, said. "We're all ruined. The family is gone."
Capt. Bill Urban, spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said in an earlier statement that the U.S. was "aware of reports of civilian casualties."
He said there "were substantial and powerful subsequent explosions resulting from the destruction of the vehicle" that Zemari and Farzad were in, suggesting that there was a "large amount of explosive material inside that may have caused additional casualties."

Just fucking terrible...
They released the names of the victims.
Malika and two other toddlers were the youngest family members killed, along with Ahmadi's nephews Arwin, 7, and Benyamin, 6, and Zemari's two other sons, Zamir, 20, and Faisal, 16, Ahmadi said.

Massive randomized study is proof that surgical masks limit coronavirus spread, authors say
The authors of a study based on an enormous randomized research project in Bangladesh say their results offer the best evidence yet that widespread wearing of surgical masks can limit the spread of the coronavirus in communities.
The preprint paper, which tracked more than 340,000 adults across 600 villages in rural Bangladesh, is by far the largest randomized study on the effectiveness of masks at limiting the spread of coronavirus infections.
Its authors say this provides conclusive, real-world evidence for what laboratory work and other research already strongly suggest: mask-wearing can have a significant impact on limiting the spread of symptomatic covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.
“I think this should basically end any scientific debate about whether masks can be effective in combating covid at the population level,” Jason Abaluck, an economist at Yale who helped lead the study, said in an interview, calling it “a nail in the coffin” of the arguments against masks.
The researchers estimate that among a group of Bangladeshi adults in the study that were encouraged to wear masks, mask-wearing increased by 28.8 percent after the intervention. When tracked, this group saw a 9.3 percent reduction in symptomatic covid-19 seroprevalence, meaning the virus was confirmed by bloodwork, as well as a further 11.9 percent reduction in covid-19 symptoms.
The study’s authors — led by principal investigators Abaluck, Laura Kwong, Steve Luby, Ahmed Mushfiq Mobarak and Ashley Styczynski — a globe-spanning team that includes researchers from Yale, Stanford and the Bangladeshi nonprofit GreenVoice, emphasized that this did not mean masks were only 9.3 percent effective.
“I think a big error would be to read this study and to say, ‘Oh, masks can only prevent 10 percent of symptomatic infections,’ ” Abaluck said. The number would probably be several times higher if masking were universal, he said.
The study is under peer review with the journal Science. The authors granted journalists an early look at the results because of their potential importance in global public health
Independent experts that were asked to look at the research praised its scale; some suggested that it might be the most convincing argument yet for mask-wearing.
“This is an incredibly challenging but important study to pull off,” said Megan L. Ranney, an emergency medicine physician and professor at Brown University who was not involved with this research. “Anti-mask people keep saying, ‘Where’s the randomized controlled trial?’ Well, here you go.”
“It’s not just modeling or looking back at studies,” said Lawrence Gostin, faculty director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University, who also was not involved. “This is the gold standard of scientific knowledge.”
The research is part of an ongoing project by Abaluck and his co-authors that looks not only at the efficacy of masking, but also public health methods for encouraging mask adoption among communities.
The team chose Bangladesh because co-author and Yale economist Mobarak was from the country and had worked there before, and because of increased options for funding.
The sheer scale of the project, which began in November and concluded in April 2021, is notable. About 178,000 Bangladeshi villagers were in an intervention group and encouraged to use masks. An additional 163,000 were in a control group, where no interventions were made.
The project assessed the levels of mask-wearing and physical distancing through direct observations from plain-clothed staff in the community at mosques, markets and other gathering places.
“This is a project that cannot be done by a handful of people,” Abaluck said. “This is why there are hundreds of people involved in this project. That’s why the paper has … I don’t even know how many co-authors it has. Dozens of co-authors.”
Mask-wearing had been mandated in Bangladesh since March 2020, though adoption remained limited. The researchers found that they were able to increase mask-wearing in the intervention group from 13 percent to 42 percent — an increase of 28.8 percentage points. The effect was observed and found to be consistent over 10 weeks and persisted after the interventions ended.
The group credited a “cocktail” of four interventions that helped substantially increase mask usage in the community: providing no-cost masks delivered door to door; offering information about the benefits of masks; reinforcement of mask-wearing; and endorsement of masks by trusted local leaders.
“It is a precise combination of things and a set of tasks that need to be done in an overlapping, integrated way,” Mobarak told Yale Insights in May.
When those behavioral findings were released earlier this year, they received a positive response from experts. But the findings about the effectiveness of masks may well have a far wider impact.
“I see no reason why the interaction between the mask and the virus will behave any differently in rural Bangladesh or rural Kansas or urban New York or San Francisco,” Gostin said. “The biology is the same.”
This study contains a trio of key observations, Ranney said:
One, it offers even more evidence that masks work to shield the wearer and the community. Because the research team was only able to document cases in which people were symptomatic and were seropositive for the virus, Ranney agreed that results may be an underestimate.
“To me this is the minimum effect of mask-wearing in a community,” she said. “I would expect the real effect of masks is much higher, given the limitations of how they were able to measure covid in this study.”
Hey Shorty.....secretaries don't count as employees??
Fatty learn to follow a thread, you stupid fat troll
Two, it indicates that better-quality masks offer superior protection.
And three, the study shows how to motivate people in a community to wear masks, by making masks a social norm.
Gostin said the research also pushed back on the “pernicious” idea that masks were only for individual protection. “[Masking is] a population-based blanket that we have to get widespread adoption of,” he said.
The study does not quite claim to be the final word on masks. The authors found that while cloth masks clearly reduced symptoms, they “cannot reject” the idea that unlike surgical masks, they may have only a small effect on symptomatic coronavirus infections, and possibly none at all.
Abaluck emphasized, however, that research did not produce evidence that cloth masks are ineffective.
The results “don’t necessarily show that surgical masks are much, much better than cloth masks, but we find much clearer evidence of the effectiveness in surgical masks,” he said.
Abaluck also noted that the intervention group was found to practice more social distancing, which may complicate the findings on masks. However, he noted that in locations such as mosques, where many participants worshiped, there was “no physical distance,” along with poor indoor ventilation — but there was increased mask-wearing.
The authors plan to conduct more research, including an evaluation of how masks limited symptomatic spread — whether by decreasing the viral load so fewer people experience symptoms, or by preventing infections entirely.
But existing research could have a significant impact on future policy — and may raise questions about past policy, too.
In this research, “people were given masks and then told they were expected to wear them,” Ranney said. Something similar almost transpired in the United States. In April 2020, during the Trump administration, the Postal Service made plans to send five masks to every American household. But that strategy was abandoned.
“One of the things I wonder … if we had all been sent masks the same way” as participants in this study were, Ranney said, “would we have decreased the death toll from covid?”
"It's possible," Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters in a short press conference Wednesday afternoon when asked about joining forces with the Taliban for the counterterror effort.
Yeah, I can easily see a Tally-Bon nutsack nestled gently on Milley Vanilli's chin.

“As the United States-backed government in Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and US troops raced to leave the country, White supremacist and anti-government extremists have expressed admiration for what the Taliban accomplished, a worrying development for US officials who have been grappling with the threat of domestic violent extremism,” CNN reports.
“That praise has also been coupled with a wave of anti-refugee sentiment from far-right groups, as the US and others rushed to evacuate tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan by the Biden administration’s August 31 deadline.”

The GOP is Deathly Afraid of Trump's Supporters
Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz tried to get Trump's help on Jan. 6.
He gave them none.
Trump supporters attacked Congress — and Republicans are still scared of them.
Sept. 1, 2021, 4:31 AM CDT
By Hayes Brown, MSNBC Opinion Columnist
Former President Donald Trump’s staunchest Republican loyalists in the House have spent months downplaying the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. But we now also know many of them were scared of the Trump-supporting mob and desperately appealed to the president for help.
I’d say many of them are still scared. They’re scared that betraying their once and future king will draw the eyes of the mob back on them. They’re scared of what will happen to their jobs and power if that happens. And that fear has blinded them to the actual danger their inaction and silence are enabling.
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, reluctantly confirmed to Fox News in late July that he’d spoken with Trump on Jan. 6 but declined to give details. He followed up two days later with a stumbling interview in which Spectrum News asked him whether he’d spoken with Trump “before, during, or after” the Capitol attack.
“Uh, I’d have to go, I’d, I, I, I spoke with him that day after, I think after. I don’t know if I spoke with him in the morning or not,” Jordan responded, according to a transcript from Talking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall.
Sunday, we learned not only that Jordan spoke with Trump multiple times on Jan. 6, but also that at least one call took place while the mob was in the middle of its attack. Jordan told Politico Playbook’s Olivia Beavers that he was “sure” he was in the safe room where members of Congress were shepherded after the police lines broke during a call with the president.
A source also told Politico that Jordan placed at least one call imploring “Trump to tell his supporters to stand down” while alongside Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., another of Trump’s arch-loyalists. Jordan wouldn’t confirm specifics of his call(s) but “said that like everyone, he wanted the National Guard to get involved.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was busy trying to do the same on Jan. 6. When McCarthy phoned for help against the rioters, he was clear that it was Trump supporters who were attacking. The then-president responded, “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are," according to Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Wash.
So when the pro-Trump horde was literally beating down their doors, McCarthy, Jordan and Gaetz all asked Trump for help and protection — which he never sent. The message from Trump was likely to have been received loud and clear: If my people come for you, I won’t stop them.
With that warning ringing in their heads, these same Republican have gone all in on placating the plebeians who still provide the tyrant with his base of power.
Gaetz has tried to cast the people who’ve been indicted so far as “political prisoners” who are being mistreated in federal custody. McCarthy has backpedaled so hard from his criticism of Trump that he must have the calves of a Peloton instructor. And the overachieving Jordan has actually found a way to blame the attack on the Democrats for “sort of normalizing rioting, normalizing looting, normalizing anarchy, in the summer of 2020.”
The message from Trump was likely to have been received loud and clear: If my people come for you, I won’t stop them.
All three know winning control of the House next year — not to mention protecting their phony-baloney jobs — is impossible if Trump supporters don’t turn out to the polls in the midterms. In defense of that goal, they’ve led the charge in ostracizing Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and her removal from House GOP leadership for daring to blame Trump for the riot. They know that if they were to do the same, the party’s other diehards would come for them next.
And yet the truth is bound to come out one way or another, no matter how much they try to obscure the terror they felt in January. The House’s Jan. 6 investigation committee is likely to subpoena Jordan and McCarthy as witnesses to describe their interactions with Trump in the lead-up to and during the insurrection.
Tech and telecom companies are already being asked to preserve records related to the attack, which could involve the calls made to and from Congress that day. We don’t need transcripts of those calls for the information gleaned from them to be damning. Even the timestamps for the calls to and from the White House that day should be fascinating — how many GOP lawmakers did Trump ignore while their lives were at risk? No wonder McCarthy is blatantly threatening tech companies that aid the Democrat-led investigation with retribution should the GOP regain the majority.
I don’t want to shame lawmakers for feeling fear in the face of danger — that’s human. But letting that same fear rule them now, when the threat is to their careers rather than their lives, is more cowardly. It remains to be seen how these men respond when directly confronted with their cowardice — but I get the feeling we already know the answer to that.

The Republicans gave up on that type of "small government" a long time ago....
And I have nothing but contempt for them now. I voted for Ford vs Carter. and Reagan.
But Reagan broke the union of the flight controllers union, and since then the percentage of working people who belonged to unions has dramatically reduced! I have not voted for a Republican ever since!
Since then I've seen the middle class percentage of the GDP shrink. The percentage of the working class who belonged to unions shrink drastically because of "right to work" laws, people make less money in most Republican run states!
If the Democrats campaign to favor unions again, they might get some of the white middle class vote in 2020. That could help them in Texas and other swing states!

JERUSALEM, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Israel said on Wednesday that a U.S. plan to reopen its consulate in Jerusalem that has traditionally been a base for diplomatic outreach to Palestinians is a "bad idea" and could destabilise Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's new government.
The prior administration of President Donald Trump signalled support for Israel's claim on Jerusalem as its capital by moving the U.S. embassy there from Tel Aviv and subsuming the consulate in that mission.
It was among several moves that incensed the Palestinians, who want East Jerusalem as capital of a hoped-for, future state.
President Joe Biden has pledged to restore ties with the Palestinians, back a two-state solution and move forward with reopening the consulate. It has been closed since 2019, with Palestinian affairs handled by the embassy.
"We think it's a bad idea," Foreign Minister Yair Lapid told a news conference when asked about the reopening. "Jerusalem is the sovereign capital of Israel and Israel alone, and therefore we don't think it's a good idea.
"We know that the (Biden) administration has a different way of looking at this, but since it is happening in Israel, we are sure they are listening to us very carefully."
About the same time. I said things that I should never have said. But I got help from Kaiser and mental health care and I'm back to normal. That's why I enjoy fucking with you guys who are fucking crazy mothrfuckers

(Bloomberg) -- A sharply divided U.S. Supreme Court refused to block a Texas law outlawing most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, letting a measure that went into effect Wednesday remain in force as the strictest restriction in the nation.
Voting 5-4, the justices turned away calls from abortion providers to put the law on hold while the legal fight goes forward. The challengers say the measure will ban abortion for at least 85% of patients in the state and force many clinics to close.
The rejection marks a watershed moment, allowing a law at odds with Supreme Court precedents that protect abortion rights until much later in pregnancy. The order raises new questions about the durability of those precedents, including the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which opponents are seeking to overturn in a case the court will consider in a few months.
The majority said the challengers had “raised serious questions regarding the constitutionality of the Texas law” but hadn’t shown they could overcome a thicket of procedural obstacles stemming from the law’s unusual delegation of enforcement powers to private parties.
“In light of such issues, we cannot say the applicants have met their burden to prevail in an injunction or stay application,” the court said in its one-paragraph explanation.
Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s liberals in dissent. Justice Sonia Sotomayor called the order “stunning” in an opinion joined by Justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan.
“Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights and evade judicial scrutiny, a majority of justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand,” Sotomayor wrote.
She called the law “breathtaking act of defiance -- of the Constitution, of this court’s precedents, and of the rights of women seeking abortions throughout Texas.”
The Supreme Court refused just before midnight on Wednesday to block a Texas law prohibiting most abortions, less than a day after it took effect and became the most restrictive abortion measure in the nation.
The vote was 5 to 4, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joining the court’s three liberal members in dissent.
The majority opinion was unsigned and consisted of a single long paragraph. It said the abortion providers who had challenged the law in an emergency application to the court had not made their case in the face of “complex and novel” procedural questions. The majority stressed that it was not ruling on the constitutionality of the Texas law and did not mean to limit “procedurally proper challenges” to it.
Supreme Court, Breaking Silence, Won’t Block Texas Abortion Law https://nyti.ms/3kGmLbN
I happened to wake up and saw this.
Liberal Justices Sotomayor, Stephen G. Breyer and Elena Kagan joined Roberts, but each wrote separate opinions saying the Texas law clearly violated the court’s precedents regarding a woman’s right to an abortion.
Sotomayor’s was the most astringent. The Texas law “is a breathtaking act of defiance—of the Constitution, of this Court’s precedents, and of the rights of women seeking abortions throughout Texas,” she wrote, criticizing her colleagues in the majority for rewarding the state’s “gambit.”
Sotomayor usually ends such opinions, “I respectfully dissent.” In this one, she wrote simply, “I dissent.”
It doesn't rule on the Constitutional issues, but Roe v Wade will probably be overturned very soon.

there are many, and compelling, reasons not to take in Afghan refugees.
First and foremost, America has massive problems here at home. Ours is not the competent, confident, prosperous country of the mid-twentieth century, with its patriotic and capable leadership. We are instead a decaying, half-broken society littered with dying communities, withering industries, and neglected, even despised, citizens. America very badly needs to get its own house in order—and fast. Our priorities should be to secure our borders, rebuild our industrial base, combat “deaths of despair” by giving ordinary people reason to hope, reform our increasingly anti-white education system, de-financialize the economy, and much else. With so many urgent problems to address at home, we don’t have the capacity to absorb hundreds of thousands of refugees—especially with the ongoing crisis at our southern border. We need to serve the interests of American citizens first.
Second, cultural compatibility matters. A 2013 Pew survey (i.e., conducted 12 years into our attempt to “democratize” Afghanistan) found that 99 percent of Afghans want sharia to be the law of their land. Sharia is about as far from American constitutionalism and law as you can get. We couldn’t make Afghans into liberal democrats over there; what makes us think we can do it here?
If there must be resettlement of those Afghans at genuine risk, but who contributed nothing to our war effort, they should be resettled in the most time-honored and logical fashion. I.e., they should go to countries closest to Afghanistan, where culture, language and customs are most similar, and from which it will be easiest for them to return home when conditions permit.
Third, a 2017 article by Cheryl Benard, the wife of a former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan—a man himself Afghan-born—detailed how Afghan refugees have the worst crime and public assistance rates of all refugee groups in Europe. She admitted the article was painful to write but argued that the truth needed to be known. Why would we willingly, knowingly import more crime and poverty? Don’t we have plenty of both already?
A related, and disturbing, point: a great many American servicemembers deployed to Afghanistan observed how frequently Afghans, including many of our so-called “allies,” sexually abused Afghan boys, in many cases on American bases. Those Americans who complained or even pointed it out were ordered by their superiors to look the other way because “that’s their culture.”
You may shake your head at this example of relativism run amok. But we both know full well that the regime will couple—already is coupling—“that’s their culture” with furious accusations of “racism” against anyone who dares point out the problem. “They don’t do that, you bigot, and it’s fine that they do.”
To ask an indelicate but necessary question: among the 111,600 unvetted Afghans we’ve evacuated so far, how many are pederasts? Our government has no idea and doesn’t seem to care. But it cares if you care. If you do, it knows you are a “racist.” One vile, hatemongering (Republican) Congressman even says your concerns about Afghan refugees make you “evil.”
Sleepy Joe had a secret plan
As the Biden administration scrambled to conduct a massive evacuation effort from Afghanistan, American officials quietly instructed U.S. citizens and at-risk Afghans, including Afghan commandos, to head to a secret CIA base outside Kabul to secure safe passage to the U.S. amid increased risks of a terrorist attack on the capital city’s main airport.
The clandestine operation, which took place over several weeks in August, resulted in the successful evacuation of hundreds of American citizens and vulnerable Afghans, including members of the elite Afghan special forces and their family members. At least 1,000 Afghan commandos and their family members were evacuated in the overall U.S. effort.
The details of the operation are based on documents provided to POLITICO and conversations with a senior administration official, a defense official and a congressional official, all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information.
A U.S. official confirmed the CIA’s involvement in the evacuation, noting that the agency “worked closely with other agencies to facilitate in various ways access to the airport for American citizens and Afghans at risk.”
The New York Times first reported that the U.S used the base for evacuations. The full scope of the operation in the final days of the evacuation effort, however, has not been previously reported. A CIA spokesperson declined to comment on the operation.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Virtually nobody here wears a face mask on the street or inside shops and restaurants — a huge surprise. It’s almost as if the COVID-19 pandemic were a distant memory.
As soon as I left the Copenhagen airport and took a taxi to the city, the driver — who was not wearing a mask — told me that I didn’t need to wear one in Denmark. “It hasn’t been required for several months,” he said. When we entered the city, I noticed that, indeed, almost no one was wearing a mask.
In Denmark, 72% of the people have been fully vaccinated, as opposed to 51% in the United States, 31% in Argentina and 25% in Mexico. And by almost every standard, Denmark has done much better than the United States and most other countries in fighting the pandemic.
The cumulative number of COVID-19 deaths per million people in Denmark is of 442, compared with 1,904 in the United States, according to Oxford University’s Ourworldindata.org website.

The delta variant-driven COVID-19 surge made August one of the worst months of the entire pandemic.
The U.S. reported almost 4.22 million new coronavirus cases in August alone, making it the fourth-worst month for infections. And 26,805 Americans died of COVID-19, more than three times the July total. The last week of August was deadlier than all of July.
At the latest pace, an American is dying of COVID every 1 minute, 5 seconds. Every minute, another 111 Americans are testing positive, nearly two per second. Compared to the last week of July, there were 105% more cases and 268% more deaths in the final week of August.
Among the states with their worst month ever for cases: Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oregon and Washington, in addition to the U.S. Virgin Islands:
Hawaii's cases grew by 232% compared to its previous highest month.

The torrent left New York City at a standstill, with most subway lines shut down and a citywide travel ban prohibiting all non-emergency vehicles from roads until 5 a.m. Nearly 250,000 people in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey were without power as of early Thursday.
Here’s what to know
The storm claimed the lives of at least seven people in New York and at least one in New Jersey.
The rain was so extreme in New York that, for the first time, the city issued a flash-flood emergency alert on Wednesday night, the warning reserved for the most dire rainfall conditions. It was later downgraded, and much of the area was still under a flood warning early Thursday.
Authorities urged people to stay clear of the roads even after the ban on non-essential vehicles expired. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) urged people to “stay off the streets tonight and let our first responders and emergency services get their work done.”
The New York Police Department said early Thursday that all seven of the storm fatalities were found unconscious in homes after officers responded to calls about flooding. The New York Fire Department found a 22-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman unconscious at the scene of a partial building collapse in Jamaica, Queens, on Wednesday night, where 12 units responded before midnight after receiving reports of a water leak and flooding in the home.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the NYPD. The woman was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
In Flushing, Queens, police found a 50-year-old man, 48-year-old woman and 2-year-old boy unresponsive inside their home. All three were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police found an unresponsive 48-year-old woman in her home near Forest Hills, Queens, late Wednesday. They transported her to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. A 66-year-old man was found in Brooklyn and pronounced dead at the scene.
In New Jersey, a 70-year-old man from Clifton, N.J., died in Passaic after his vehicle sank underneath the floodwaters, his family members confirmed to The Post. Firefighters rescued the man’s 66-year-old wife and 25-year-old son but were unable to reach the father in time, Passaic Mayor Hector C. Lora said early Thursday.
Lora said he talked to the family, who were “in complete shock.”
The rain came as the remnants of Hurricane Ida interacted with a frontal system over the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Ahead of the deluge, the Weather Service had declared a rare “high risk” of excessive rainfall from southern and eastern Pennsylvania through New York City into Connecticut.

Nicely done.

Democrats are charging Republicans in Georgia with trying to set up a system will enable them to take over elections and execute procedures that Trump failed in achieving.
Intel Shows Extremists to Attend Capitol Rally
September 2, 2021 at 6:56 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Associated Press: “Far right extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are planning to attend a rally later this month at the U.S. Capitol that is designed to demand ‘justice’ for the hundreds of people who have been charged in connection with January’s insurrection.”
“As a result, U.S. Capitol Police have been discussing in recent weeks whether the large perimeter fence that was erected outside the Capitol after January’s riot will need to be put back up… The officials have been discussing security plans that involve reconstructing the fence as well as another plan that does not involve a fence.”

Ravnsborg Should Have Faced Manslaughter Charges

South Dakota’s top public safety official said Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg (R) should have been charged with manslaughter instead of misdemeanors for his role in a hit-and-run vehicle crash that killed someone, the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reports.
The resolution of the criminal case into Ravnsborg has rekindled talks of impeachment, which would require action by the state House.
Democrats are charging Republicans in Georgia with trying to set up a system will enable them to take over elections and execute procedures that Trump failed in achieving.
In other words a system that makes it easier for eligible voters to vote and to prevent voter fraud and other forms of cheating.

Initial filings for unemployment insurance fell last week to their lowest levels since March 2020 in another sign that the labor market is gradually improving from the Covid-19 era, the Labor Department reported Thursday.
First-time jobless claims totaled 340,000 for the week ended August 28, compared with the 345,000 Dow Jones estimate. That is the lowest level for initial claims since March 14, 2020 when first-time claims totaled 256,000, just before the coronavirus pandemic caused a historic rush to unemployment benefits.
The previous week’s level of initial claims was revised up by 1,000 from 353,000 to 354,000.
The level of continuing claims, the measure of ongoing benefits, was 2.75 million, a decrease of 160,000 from the previous week’s revised level. The decrease in the number of continuing claims also represents the lowest level for insured unemployment since the Covid era began.

Supreme Court Abets Lawlessness in Texas
September 2, 2021 at 8:56 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Jonathan Bernstein:
“Those of us who believe that Roe v. Wade was correct when it gave women a constitutional right to abortion in 1973 are obviously unhappy with the Supreme Court’s ‘shadow docket’ decision to de facto overturn it — or, as Dahlia Lithwick put it in Slate Wednesday evening, Roe was ‘overruled this week, or nullified, or merely paused for a few million people.'
“But well beyond that: Procedure matters, and the ad hoc, unjustified procedure in this case — procedure that produced a sharp and compelling dissent from Chief Justice John Roberts, who may eventually join a majority to destroy or overturn Roe — may have done as much to undermine the rule of law as anything we’ve seen in these last years of threats to constitutional government." WOW!
“It simply can’t be the case that state governments can eliminate established constitutional rights by structuring laws so that they must go into effect, thus robbing people of those rights, without the courts having any option of stopping them. That’s what Texas and a handful of judges have done in this case, and it’s wrong and it’s lawless even if Roe was incorrectly decided.”
New York Floods Send Climate Change Lesson
September 2, 2021 at 8:51 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“The remnants of Hurricane Ida brought a tropical deluge of unprecedented proportions to the New York City metro area on Wednesday night into Thursday,” Axios reports.
“The flooding that resulted from the heavy rainfall shut down Newark Airport, and turned city and country roads in all five boroughs and surrounding areas of New Jersey and Pennsylvania into rivers.
“The historic deluge clearly demonstrates that climate change is winning the battle between a rapidly shifting climate and outdated infrastructure.”

Majority of Interpreters, Other U.S. Visa Applicants Were Left Behind in Afghanistan
U.S. still doesn’t have reliable data on who was evacuated from Afghanistan, a senior State Department official says
WASHINGTON—The U.S. estimates it left behind the majority of Afghan interpreters and others who applied for visas to flee Afghanistan, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday, despite frantic efforts to evacuate those at risk of Taliban retribution.
In the early days of the evacuation effort, thousands of Afghans crowded Kabul’s airport seeking a way to flee the country. Some made it through without paperwork, while American citizens and visa applicants were unable to enter and board flights out.
The U.S. still doesn’t have reliable data on who was evacuated, nor for what type of visas they may qualify, the official said, but initial assessments suggested most visa applicants didn’t make it through the crush at the airport.
“I would say it’s the majority of them,” the official estimated. “Just based on anecdotal information about the populations we were able to support.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Far right extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are planning to attend a rally later this month at the U.S. Capitol that is designed to demand “justice” for the hundreds of people who have been charged in connection with January’s insurrection, according to three people familiar with intelligence gathered by federal officials.
As a result, U.S. Capitol Police have been discussing in recent weeks whether the large perimeter fence that was erected outside the Capitol after January’s riot will need to be put back up, the people said.
The officials have been discussing security plans that involve reconstructing the fence as well as another plan that does not involve a fence, the people said. They were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
ADVERTISEMENT
The planned Sept. 18 rally at the Capitol comes as a jittery Washington has seen a series of troubling one-off incidents — including, most recently, a man who parked a pickup truck near the Library of Congress and said he had a bomb and detonator. Among the most concerning events: A series of unexploded pipe bombs placed around the U.S. Capitol ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection remain unexplained and no suspect has been charged.
On Capitol Hill, the politics around fencing in the iconic building and its grounds were extremely difficult for lawmakers after the Jan. 6 insurrection. Many said they disliked closing off access, even as they acknowledged the increased level of security it provided.
The decision on whether or not to erect the fence again will likely be considered by the Capitol Police Board, according to a House aide familiar with the matter and granted anonymity to discuss it. No decisions have been made.

The other big lie has been exposed!
The rioters who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection committed more than 1,000 assaults on federal officers, according to a review of body-cam footage that prosecutors described in a court filing late Wednesday.
“Based on a review of the body-worn-camera footage conducted by our Office, the footage displays approximately 1,000 events that may be characterized as assaults on federal officers,” wrote Emily Miller, the federal prosecutor leading evidence-collection efforts for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C.
The statistic was included in a status update provided to the judge in the case of Couy Griffin, one of more than 600 defendants charged for joining the mob at the Capitol. Prosecutors say they have reviewed more than 2,900 police body-camera videos totaling more than 2,300 hours and are in the process of uploading them to an evidence database to be made available to defendants.
Prosecutors have already charged more than 100 Capitol defendants with assaulting or impeding officers from the U.S. Capitol Police and the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. More than 130 officers were injured during the violence unleashed by the mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump who stormed the Capitol as Congress was in the process of certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election. One officer died shortly after the attack, and several others died by suicide in the weeks and months since.
Trump and Ch has, in recent months, sought to rewrite the history of his supporters’ actions inside the Capitol, claiming they were peaceful and particularly well-mannered toward police. The new statistic, though, underscores the intense violence of the attack and the fact that prosecutors are still hunting for dozens, if not hundreds, of suspects in some of the violent crimes that day.
People who are weak claim to be someone's F'n daddy.

Jimmy Hitler Jr. wants to lynch her because she refused to suck Trump's testicles.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) has been appointed as vice chair of the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, according to a statement Thursday from the panel.
“Every member of this committee is dedicated to conducting a non-partisan, professional, and thorough investigation of all the relevant facts regarding January 6th and the threat to our Constitution we faced that day,” Cheney said in a statement. “I have accepted the position of Vice Chair of the committee to assure that we achieve that goal.”
The move further cements Cheney as a major player in the investigation. She was originally tapped to join the committee in July, after she was ousted by fellow House Republicans from her leadership position in May over her challenge of President Donald Trump’s false claim that the presidential election was stolen.
Cheney’s position will boost Democrats’ arguments the probe is bipartisan even as many Republicans oppose it — with some GOP lawmakers going so far as to threaten telecommunications and social media companies that comply with the committee’s requests.
Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.), the select committee’s chair, welcomed Cheney’s appointment and said her presence “underscores the bipartisan nature” of the effort to get to the bottom of events that led to the attack on the Capitol earlier this year.
“Representative Cheney has demonstrated again and again her commitment to getting answers about January 6th, ensuring accountability, and doing whatever it takes to protect democracy for the American people,” Thompson said in a statement.
Afghanistan will fade away from the attention of the people.

And Biden's FDA bypassed the normal public review of the vaccine approval
So they could hide the disturbing data
Kind of like his refusal to take questions
Coward of a president
as are his agencies
glad a few scientists stood up
I'm having a lot of fun today!

Before Summer of 2021, Ivermectin was considered something of a wonder drug. Look at the countless studies and commendations. It's all there on the internet.
Suddenly, Ivermectin is "horse paste," a term that has been repeated ad nauseam over past few weeks.
Smells like an op.

Certain of those who were there hated Biden long before they lost their loved ones, and nothing he could have said would have been right for them.
First of all pederast, those loved ones lost someone precious to them who made the ultimate sacrifice FOR FUCKING NOTHING.
Second, Sloppy Joe was there to honor them, honor the dead, and show a modicum of respect. He did exactly NONE of that.
Third, this is a man so compromised, so incompetent, so out of his depth, and so completely without a fucking clue; and when you combine that with the fact that he's a serial liar, plagiarizer, racist, and imbecile, all the ingredients are there to at a minimum loathe him, and at most to have a legitimate visceral, searing hatred for him.
His behavior at Dover was an example of his behavior every day, in every waking moment - disgusting, vile and repulsive.
You just admitted that you are Jimmy Hitler Jr.!
You are a classic fascist.
But you don't believe anything counter to your own feelings..
A classic narcissistic liar like Ch and etc.
There are three of us who are not fascists.

Podcast host Joe Rogan says he has Covid-19 and used ivermectin, a drug typically used on livestock that health experts have urged the public to avoid.
Sean Davis
The corrupt corporate media has now moved from mischaracterization to deliberate falsification. Ivermectin has been used by literally *billions* of people around the globe for decades. Until five minutes ago, it was rightly recognized as a miracle drug on par with penicillin.
It’s quite a tell when people who pretend to care about science or medicine derisively refer to the miraculous river blindness cure that earned its creators a Nobel Prize as a “horse dewormer.” And penicillin is just a citrus mold. Stupid mold eaters.

Your psychological projection is always in hyper-drive lately and I can see why. So much corruption and failure to defend, and all you have at your disposal is calling those who oppose it 'fascists.'
It looks like my side wins. Now go eat several more bowls of Slow Joe's runny shit. I think your nursing home dining room is still serving breakfast at this hour.
BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! At you asshole rat......Your perceived gripes as indicative of your low intellect and standing......You want someone to hold your hand and lead you to the promised land of Trump and his youth!!!!

At least 22 people were killed as the remnants of Hurricane Ida battered New York and New Jersey with tornadoes, record rain and flooding that left the area deluged and under states of emergency on Thursday.
Videos on social media showed cars submerged on highways and water pouring into subway stations and homes after a wind-driven downpour shattered rainfall records and prompted an unprecedented flash flood emergency for New York City.
Four women, three men and a 2-year-old boy died in five separate flooding incidents in the city, police said. In New Jersey, 14 other people were killed, including five residents at the Oakwood Plaza Apartments complex in Elizabeth and one person whose body was recovered in Passaic. It was unclear where the residents were or how they died, a spokesperson for Mayor Christian Bollwage confirmed to NBC News Thursday.
In Passaic, firefighters recovered the body from a vehicle that went underwater when it was caught in floodwaters near the Passaic River, the town's mayor said.
Latest updates on Ida:
Remnants of Hurricane Ida brought dangerous floods, record rains and tornadoes to New York and New Jersey.The death toll in the area stands at 22 and includes a 2-year-old boy.Rainfall in Central Park broke a 94-year-old record, according to the National Weather Service. Newark, New Jersey, smashed a 62-year-old record.Both New York and New Jersey declared a state of emergency because of severe weather.Morning Amtrak service between Philadelphia and Boston was suspended.Rainfall from Ida affected play at the U.S. Open.
"We’re enduring an historic weather event tonight with record breaking rain across the city, brutal flooding and dangerous conditions on our roads," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted.
Wall Street backs the Fed, even if Republicans don't
Still, many Wall Street economists think the Fed is correct in anticipating that inflation will cool as temporary factors like supply chain glitches and shortages of goods and labor subside.
"We think [inflation] expectations are close to peaking, and they should fall over the next few months as the moderation in oil prices feeds into retail gas prices," Pantheon Macroeconomics chief economist Ian Shepherdson wrote.

What a pleasure to see a real President talk honestly and be straightforward with US. So happy to know our country is in the hands of an adult.
