How Long Can the Media Continue to Provide Cover for the Biden Administration?

After four years of cataloguing every lie emanating from then-narcissist-in-chief Donald Trump—and from time to time, making up falsehoods—our media elite continue to run cover for the equally narcissistic lies of President Biden.

Playing Make-Believe with the Taliban

Throughout the entire process of negotiating a truce with the Taliban, officials from the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations were pretending that the Taliban could be a legitimate partner that would negotiate in good faith with its 20-year enemy the United States. The Taliban played them for fools but they were willing accomplices in their own deception.

Forget About 1975 Saigon. We Should Now Be Concerned With A Repeat of 1979 Iran

Hostage to the Taliban

On Sunday, the Pentagon initiated the Civil Reserve Air Fleet, an emergency program that has only been evoked now three times since its creation after World War II. A total of 18 civilian wide-bodied, long-haul aircraft from five airlines have been activated. The planes will not fly into Afghanistan, but rather will transports Afghan refugees that have already escaped the country and are waiting at US bases in Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The airliners will then help “augment military flights carrying Afghans to Germany, Italy, Spain and other stops in Europe, and then ultimately to the United States.”

This Is Not How Wars End ... It's How They Begin

One of the major justifications offered by the Biden Administration for the abdication of its duty in Afghanistan is that our global adversaries want to see us bogged down specifically in this Southern Asian country. They don’t want us to leave; they want us to forever funnel billions of dollars into a hopeless cause to stabilize a lawless country.* Even more, leaving Afghanistan allows us to shift our focus to Chinese aggression in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.
    By this logic, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Beijing should be frightened or at least concerned with the US withdrawal. After all, the small deployment of 2,500 American troops there helped maintain regional stability at no cost to China.
