Meanwhile, our President is on vacation after all his hard work in screwing up Afghanistan and implementing his fool proof plan to stop Covid in its tracks!
"The Taliban is basically holding them hostage to get more out of the Americans,” a senior congressional source told CBS. You knew that was coming after what Biden did and here it is — 19 Americans and hundreds of other Americans not being allowed to leave. And Biden is on vacation again. This has now flat out moved into hostage-taking, as anyone could have predicted.
Well almost anyone. Apparently this isn't something that Slow Joe could have anticipated, or he wouldn't be off on vacation. Yeah, we all understand that his previous attempts at taking his vacation was interrupted when his fool proof plan to withdrawal troops from Afghanistan without any problems ended up with problems
Or maybe the case is that Joe Biden really doesn't care that he left Americans behind. That it why he is out on vacation. Not that he miscalculated, just that it's not important to him. Who cares about the Americans? Getting them out would keep Afghanistan in the news, and as all of the liberals here are suggesting, the politics of this requires that Biden and the Democrats move this story out of the news as quickly as possible.

Perspectives
Optimists
Afghanistan’s dire circumstances mean the Taliban will have no choice but to play along
“However fierce in battle, the Taliban seem to understand that governing an impoverished, war-ravaged nation is a very different challenge for which it needs economic and diplomatic support, both of which it is already seeking from the United States.” — Max Fisher, New York Times
The U.S. has enormous power over Afghanistan’s economic viability
“Any Afghan government — especially return acts with an unflattering past — will come to realize that the U.S. is key to financial and economic security.” — Daniel Moss, Bloomberg
Two decades in exile has made the Taliban much more pragmatic
“The Taliban of 2021 are not those of a generation ago. Consistency marks their ideological position today as in the past. But that consistency goes along with a high degree of pragmatism. Now that they have won the war, they can afford to be realistic about how they govern.” — David J. Wasserstein, The Hill
The Taliban know that terror groups pose an existential threat to their rule
“The most important issue, of course, is protection for international terrorists based in Afghanistan. ... The Taliban can probably be trusted on this for several reasons. ... A new terrorist attack on the United States would not lead to a new U.S. invasion, but it would certainly lead to bombardment by U.S. missiles and strong U.S. support for armed uprisings against Taliban rule.” — Anatol Lieven, Foreign Policy
The U.S. has leverage but must be realistic about its limits
“The balance that must be struck now is extremely sensitive. If Afghans compromise too much in believing the Taliban’s excuses, or the United States and its allies make their expectations of the Taliban too idealistic, an emboldened Taliban would drive the country toward dark days. The price of a failing and isolated Afghanistan will be paid by common Afghans.” — Obaidullah Baheer, Washington Post
Pessimists
American leaders will ignore Taliban offenses as long as they stay out of the spotlight
“The Americans are hoping that the Taliban will relieve them of the burden of the Afghan problem: as long as the Taliban is willing to manage the internal affairs of the country, as the Saudis do, the US is happy to focus on its own domestic affairs.” — Nelofer Pazira, Irish Times
The Taliban don’t have the luxury of being too friendly with the U.S.
“If the Taliban embraces a more pluralistic and inclusive political system with fundamental human rights, especially with respect to women, it may face opposition from its more radical factions and rank-and-file members, who have spent years fighting to restore its emirate.” — Niamatullah Ibrahimi and Safiullah Taye, Conversation
The Taliban are just as brutal as they’ve always been
“Those who wish to avoid being force-fed their own testicles should probably not read too much into the kinder, gentler Taliban initiatives currently being implemented in Kabul. The Taliban are cruel, but they are not fools, and magnanimity early in their rule does not mean that they will be any less vengeful than they were at the height of their power.” — Graeme Wood, Atlantic
The Biden administration is naive for thinking it can control the Taliban
“U.S. officials have staked the success of their Afghanistan withdrawal strategy on the premise that they can convince the Taliban to live up to commitments they have made in public and private on letting people leave the country, human rights, and other thorny issues. The Biden administration’s approach has long sounded credulous to just about anyone without a vested interest in spinning President Biden’s chaotic withdrawal effort as a strategic triumph.” — Jimmy Quinn, National Review
Other world powers could undercut America’s leverage
“The administration’s repeated threats to turn Afghanistan into a ‘pariah state’ if the Taliban commits human rights abuses could be undermined if Beijing and Moscow don’t cooperate and if a Taliban-led government strengthens ties with Pakistan and Iran.” — Michael R. Gordon and James Marson, Wall Street Journal
Shocking that Lil Schitty would pick on this news story confirming that the tally ban trump negotiated with are as trustworthy as trump,........BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! The really sad thing is that the tally ban will cut off their own noses if they think it will help....too bad that strategy is doomed to failure as is the GOP!
You provided evidence of what I had said about you and Trump TDS when I criticized him for playing golf.

Just a short year ago, on memorial day.....trump played golf as the pandemic roared......Lil Schitty again said FUCKING NOTHING!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Yes Lil Schitty, trump was infinitely worse since trump did not like to work, only play.....!!!
'Almost intentional sabotage': Doctor reacts to Trump vaccine comments
Washington (CNN)Criticized for golfing twice on a Memorial Day weekend during which the US coronavirus death toll approached 100,000, President Donald Trump responded Sunday and Monday by drawing attention, again, to former President Barack Obama's golfing.
Trump denounced the media, which he called "sick with hatred and dishonesty," for supposedly failing to mention that Saturday was his first time golfing in three months. (CNN, among other outlets, did note that it was his first golf outing since March 8.) Trump also accused the media of failing to talk about "all of the time Obama spent on the golf course, often flying to Hawaii in a big, fully loaded 747, to play. What did that do to the so-called Carbon Footprint?"
Vaccine Failure and the Way Out
The Corona vaccines don’t work very well. Ubiquitous statistics showing that the vaccinated enjoy substantial protection against serious illness and death seem wrong. In some cases they are probably manipulated. They are certainly confounded by the different testing regimes to which the vaccinated and the unvaccinated are subjected. Once you forget the specifics of efficacy and look at the broader picture, it is easy to see where we are. The vaccines have not reduced Corona mortality compared to the same time last year in any jurisdiction that I know of. Countries with high vaccination rates are now seeing the same number of deaths, or more, as they had at the beginning of September 2020. Time is a flat circle.
If you peer deeper, you’ll generally find this: The vaccinated remain substantially protected against serious illness or death, but the unvaccinated are entering the hospital and dying at very high rates indeed, as if to compensate. Thus Israel has maintained the same case fatality rate of around 0.7%, before and after mass vaccination. If this is just Delta being more dangerous, then we would expect countries with lower vaccination rates to be enduring truly staggering mortality right now, but they are not. In heavily vaccinated countries, Delta is raging with a rare fury among the unvaccinated, but in lesser-vaccinated countries it is doing nothing unusual. This means that the efficacy statistics are broadly unreliable. The exact reasons don’t really matter: Either the vaccines have the power to change the whole picture, or they don’t.
None of this should surprise us. Vaccines against coronaviruses have been used in animals for decades, and none of them work very well. Generally they begin to fail after a few months. Despite their technical sophistication, our mRNA and vector vaccines against SARS-2 are no different. They had some success when they were first rolled out, but if anything that probably made things worse. They effectively killed off the older Kent lineage and reduced the overall genetic diversity of SARS-2. Cases plummeted in the United Kingdom and Israel, and Delta emerged victorious from this bottleneck event. When newly vaccinated Icelanders travelled to the Delta-saturated UK for holiday, they did not even enjoy an initial period of protection against infection. They brought Delta back to Iceland, where the new strain circulated among vaccinated and unvaccinated at nearly the same rate.
It is impossible to believe that this failure was not foreseen. The scientists who developed the vaccines knew for sure how things would play out. That’s why they concluded the trials after three or four months and vaccinated their controls. It’s why they have been talking about boosters from the very beginning. It’s why, if you listened carefully, you never heard Zero Covid sloganeering coming from Team Vaccine. Only the comparative morons on Team Lockdown ever talked like that.
Our politicians and our new public health dictators, on the other hand, remained oblivious to the limited potential of the vaccines. They continue to insist on universal vaccination and green passes, while it is obvious that these will do nothing to influence the course of the pandemic. It is worth asking why, because when you think about it, you can see that the vaccine roll-out came with an inbuilt exit strategy. The vaccines arrived most everywhere in the spring, as Corona was going out of season anyway. Policymakers immediately claimed declining infections as a victory for the vaccines, but they failed to take the next step and declare the war won and either discontinue their case counts, or at the very least exclude the vaccinated from infection and mortality statistics. Instead, they deployed half measures, devising new regulations that exempt the vaccinated from testing most of the time, while failing to shut the door on the pandemic and maintaining numbers that are just reliable enough to reveal the futility of their policies.
This was the second time our brave health dictatorship failed to use the obvious, purpose-built exit ramp of seasonality. The first was in Spring 2020, after the entire West (with the exceptions of Sweden and Belarus) bought into mass containment and Corona infections collapsed everywhere in April. Establishment scientific voices had by this time spent two months denying that there would be significant seasonal effects, on the basis of some superficial modelling studies. As with the vaccine roll-out, denying seasonality allowed them to declare a policy victory. As with the vaccine roll-out, the stage was set for everybody to say that they had defeated Corona, fold up shop and go home. This is, you will note, exactly what China did. They tightened official testing criteria, declared the pandemic over with and never looked back. Western countries, though, kept the ball in the air all summer long, just as they are keeping the ball in the air now.
We know Ch is trying to deflect and redirect away from the first several posts in the next thread down.

Statement by President Joe Biden on Rosh Hashanah
SEPTEMBER 05, 2021
On Rosh Hashanah, Jewish communities around the world celebrate the world’s birth and commemorate the creation of humankind.
Rosh Hashanah and the Days of Awe that follow charge those who celebrate to pause, look inward, and reflect on the past year. It is a time to undertake an inventory of the soul, a cheshbon hanefesh, and to ask of ourselves and of each other questions that go beyond our own individual faiths:
Who do I want to be?
What type of nation do we want to forge?
What type of world do we want to create?
That is the message and gift of the Jewish New Year – a reminder of our infinite capacity to transform our lives and begin anew. To partner with the Divine and our fellow human beings in the ongoing work of creation. To rebuild our communities through empathy, acts of kindness, and compassion. To seek repentance, or teshuva, when we have fallen short of our values. Rosh Hashanah is a reaffirmation that we are each endowed, by virtue of our Creator and our common humanity, with the ability to bridge the gap between the world we see and the world we seek.
In that effort, we’ve made significant progress, but much work remains.
To protect ourselves and each other against a once-in-a-century virus.
To rebuild an economy that provides opportunity for all Americans.
To give hate no safe harbor,
and speak out with clarity and conviction against antisemitism wherever and however it manifests.
To reaffirm our ironclad bond with the State of Israel.
May the year 5782 be a year of health, healing, and progress.
And may we all be inscribed in the Book of Life.
Jill and I extend our warmest wishes to all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah in the United States, Israel, and around the world.
Shanah Tovah U’Metukah.
May it be a sweet, healthy, and happy new year.
And the idiots running the pentagon are more focused on tbeir woke CRT agenda than they are in soldiering.
Ivermectin and the Faulty Logic of Vaccine Mandates
“WE’RE NOW IN THIS ODD POSITION where there are groups of physicians that believe that there are protocols that are quite effective in preventing death and disease and hospitalization when deployed early… that their ability to deploy these methods and these agents is being actively resisted by the government and by large various large organizations with:
~ physicians not being allowed to prescribe
~pharmacies not filling physicians’ prescriptions
~physicians being prohibited from practicing what they believe to be good medicine in hospital environments
Overlaying this is the sense that those who discuss these matters are subject to censor or censure in the form of risking losing their medical license, something that’s been threatened by the national medical board and has been implemented in some other countries like UK and Canada.
That’s also created an even more sense of unease and consternation why would the government be denigrating these agents that are known to be safe, have been used for decades.”
— Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA

Communism is controlling our health institutions and overreaching Government at Federal, state and local levels. It /they must be rooted out, exposed and sent packing.
Ivermectin works. Seen it firsthand on a variety of ages. Dr. Malone is right. Listen to THE REAL EXPERTS, let alone the inventor! And better, listen to God above all.

We are in a war.
The enemy enters through our eyes & ears to control our mind.
But we can do that too.
What we do is seen.
What is said is heard.
Therefore, our activity IS warfare.
“I’m not Fauci’s slave” spoken from your maskless face assaults someone’s mind.
“You don’t have to be controlled by people who hate you” reframes media obedience into medical tyranny.
“Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven” forces infinity into the temporary.
We are in a war.
So fight.
Now, go to war.

Taliban stop planes of evacuees from leaving but unclear why
Associated Press
KATHY GANNON
September 5, 2021, 7:59 PM
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — At least four planes chartered to evacuate several hundred people seeking to escape the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan have been unable to leave the country for days, officials said Sunday, with conflicting accounts emerging about why the flights weren't able to take off as pressure ramps up on the United States to help those left behind to flee.
An Afghan official at the airport in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif said that the would-be passengers were Afghans, many of whom did not have passports or visas, and thus were unable to leave the country. He said they had left the airport while the situation was sorted out.
The top Republican on the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, however, said that the group included Americans and they were sitting on the planes, but the Taliban were not letting them take off, effectively “holding them hostage." He did not say where that information came from. It was not immediately possible to reconcile the accounts.
SOUNDS A LITTLE UNCERTAIN JUST WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.

The Republican dream is a perpetual poverty era or forever.
DALLAS — Hours after Texas’ restrictive abortion law went into effect Wednesday, Blair Wallace took to Houston’s Tranquility Park with some 60 other people in protest.
“It’s not a surprise to me that the Republican leadership at the Texas Legislature would allow something like this to go through,” said Wallace, a policy and advocacy strategist with the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas. “We know the brunt of this will fall on our Black and brown communities and our poor communities the most.”
Wallace is one of many critics of Senate Bill 8, which bans abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy and allows anyone to sue abortion providers or anyone who helps someone get the procedure after the time frame. Or allow white bounty hunters in African Americans communities.
Wallace, who worked with the ACLU of Texas to halt the bill, and others say it will make getting an abortion in Texas nearly impossible and disproportionately affect poor people who give birth, especially Black and Latino residents. People would have to drive 248 miles on average to undergo the procedure out of state, up from 12 miles in state, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit organization that researches reproductive rights.
People with money could fly out of state to get abortions. But for those with lower incomes, work obligations, lack of transportation, and financial struggles could make it far more difficult to leave Texas. As many as 8 of 10 people who seek abortions could be forced to continue their pregnancies, according to the University of Texas at Austin’s Texas Policy Evaluation Project.
Marsha Jones, executive director of the Afiya Center, which partners with abortion centers and provides people with resources to access safe abortion services, said laws like Texas’ only perpetuate poverty for poor and Black and Latino people.
“When systems are in place that force folks to have children that they cannot take care of and there’s no system in place to assist them with taking care of those children, nothing but a system that penalizes our parenting, you’re creating generational poverty,” Jones said.

Covid Deaths Surge Across a Weary America
September 6, 2021 at 8:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“A summer that began with plunging caseloads and real hope that the worst of Covid-19 had passed is ending with soaring death counts, full hospitals and a bitter realization that the coronavirus is going to remain a fact of American life for the foreseeable future,” the New York Times reports.
“Vaccination rates are ticking upward, and reports of new infections are starting to fall in some hard-hit Southern states. But Labor Day weekend bears little resemblance to Memorial Day, when the country was averaging fewer than 25,000 cases daily, or to the Fourth of July, when President Biden spoke about nearing independence from the virus.
“Instead, with more than 160,000 new cases a day and about 100,000 Covid patients hospitalized nationwide, this holiday feels more like a flashback to 2020.”

“Back in January 2021, as then-President Donald Trump was calling on Georgia election officials to ‘find 11,780 votes,’ new documents show that the secretary of state’s office in Georgia was in full crisis mode,” the Daily Beast reports.
“There were death threats promising to ‘make the Boston bombings look like child’s play.’ Impassioned pleas for Georgia’s top elections official to stand firm in the face of pressure from Trump to break the law. And an alarmed state official demanding an immediate investigation into Donald Trump’s ‘solicitation to commit election fraud.’”
Tax-the-Rich Dreams Fade as Democrats Struggle for Votes

“Progressive Democrats, who had hoped unified party control of the government could spur transformative tax increases on multinational companies and wealthy individuals, look like they will have to settle for a more modest outcome,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Tax-code changes moving through Congress this month would still likely raise more than $1 trillion over a decade and reverse many Trump-era changes to help fund an expanded social safety net. Key pieces remain unresolved, and progressive activists hope Democrats can be swayed by last-minute pressure campaigns and the party’s desire to unite behind President Biden.”

Melania Trump Wants Nothing To Do With 2024 Campaign
September 6, 2021 at 6:35 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 61 Comments
“Former first lady Melania Trump is reportedly telling friends she doesn’t want to return to the White House ― and that if husband Donald Trump plans to run again, he’ll have to do it without her help,” the HuffPost reports.
MUCH OF THETHE GOP WOULD LIKE TO SAY THE SAME THING.
The right wing media websites are calling him a communist.
The U.S. could be prepared to start rolling out distribution of a Pfizer booster shot for COVID-19 beginning the week of Sept. 20 — but Moderna may take bit longer, Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday.
“Looks like Pfizer has their data in, likely would meet the deadline,” the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said on “Face the Nation” on CBS.
“We hope that Moderna would also be able to do it, so we could do it simultaneously. But if not, we’ll do it sequentially,” Fauci added. “So bottom line is very likely at least part of the plan will be implemented, but, ultimately, the entire plan ... It looks good.”
The CDC has said Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients will also likely need a booster, but “the data needed to make this decision aren’t available yet.”
A booster after full vaccination would increase immunity and help stem breakthrough and delta variant COVID-19 cases, Fauci noted. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the Biden administration is likely to recommend a booster at least six months after a full vaccination.

How Texas Enacted a Near-Complete Abortion Ban
September 6, 2021 at 6:24 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 19 Comments
New York Times:
“How Texas arrived at this moment was the culmination of years of Republican control, conservative judicial appointments and rising passion around abortion issues by many Christians in the state.
"Polls show Texans almost evenly divided on abortion access and the state’s cities have grown more Democratic, but it was the conservative abortion opponents who established a powerful political, cultural and even physical presence across the state’s vast terrain.
“Indeed, because Roe v. Wade began in Texas, after an unmarried woman challenged the state’s criminal abortion laws, the modern anti-abortion movement in the state has felt compelled to push for its disintegration.”
Warnings, Doubts but Little Change In Afghan Pullout

Wall Street Journal:
“While many factors, recent and long past, contributed to America’s drive to leave Afghanistan, among the problems, interviews with a wide range of officials suggest, was the difficulty the Biden administration had in quickly adjusting to changing circumstances as the Taliban advanced, as more-pessimistic intelligence assessments arrived and as military officials raised alarms that Washington was moving too slowly to help Afghan allies.”

“Embassy staff had collected his family’s information weeks before in preparation for a possible evacuation. But after he was told on Aug. 15 to leave the embassy’s grounds, ‘nobody called, nobody emailed.’”
Said the contractor: “Everyone knows where I worked, that I worked with the Americans. I gave my mother my embassy badges and told her to put them in a box and bury it in the garden.”

“There are 24 days until the federal government runs out of money. Will an all Democratic-run Washington allow the government to shut down? We don’t see that happening, but we don’t feel terribly confident about the direction things are heading in either.”
“Why? Because the White House and Democratic congressional leaders have been insistent that they’ll attach a debt ceiling increase to the must-pass government funding bill. Republicans, especially Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have vowed to oppose this approach. And there’s been no progress on the issue as of now.”

Bernie Sanders Is Back on the Campaign Trail
September 6, 2021 at 8:30 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 3 Comments
New York Times: “Just a few days shy of his 80th birthday, Mr. Sanders was back on the campaign trail last week, trekking across Republican-leaning districts in the Midwest to cap off a blitz of local television interviews and opinion essays placed in traditionally conservative news outlets.
“But this time, instead of pursuing a higher political office, he was campaigning for a legislative legacy: a $3.5 trillion package that, if passed, would amount to the most significant expansion of the social safety net since the Great Society of the 1960s.”

A near-majority of Texans favor outlawing abortion after six weeks, UT/TT Poll finds
Nearly half of Texas voters — and more than two-thirds of Republicans — would support the kind of ban on abortions in the early stages of pregnancy that lawmakers in Mississippi, Ohio and Georgia recently passed, according to the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll.
Just under half (48%) of Texas voters support making abortion illegal after six weeks of pregnancy, as a half-dozen states have done with “early abortion bans” or “heartbeat” bills that would outlaw abortions as soon as a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Another 42% said they oppose such a law.
This poll is from 2019. But it's the latest poll I could find and I don't think Texas voters have changed there opinion that much.
