Vetting? What Vetting? UK Flies Person on No-Fly List Into Britain from Afghanistan
My latest in PJ Media: On Monday morning, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby gave strong assurances that the Afghans who are being brought into the United States are being carefully vetted: “We have, uh, intelligence and law enforcement personnel, uh, at these sites, making sure that robust screening is done of these individuals, so that nobody […]
At Least 2,500 Afghan Refugees Are in the U.S. Already, and Many More Are on the Way. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
My latest in PJ Media: Monday morning at the Defense Department briefing on the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, Army Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor found something to boast about amid the catastrophe of the Biden administration and its woke military: Taylor touted the military’s efficiency in getting Afghans out of the Taliban’s clutches and into the United […]
Biden Goes Full America-Last, Won’t Prioritize Getting Americans Out of Kabul Over Afghans
My latest in PJ Media: Whatever the main concerns may be of the obscure, rudderless, far-Left muddle known as the Biden administration, acting to safeguard the well-being of the United States and its citizens most certainly isn’t one of them. Back in February, according to the Associated Press, “Joe Biden made clear in his first […]
Biden’s handlers order airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed jihad groups
Then Biden’s handlers turn around and offer Iran massive sanctions relief. So the U.S. will end up paying for these unmanned aerial vehicle attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq, who shouldn’t be there in the first place. “Biden orders airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups,” by Barbara Starr, CNN, June 27, […]

And then there’s Syria. The new Pentagon chief says he might revise the numbers upward or downward, but upward seems to be a much more likely choice, given the requirements of the military-industrial complex. “Report: New Pentagon Chief Might Revise Number of Troops in Afghanistan, Iraq,” Fars News Agency, January 27, 2021 (thanks to Henry): […]
Retired admiral admonishes Trump: You can’t kill your way out of the terrorism problem
Former State Department spokesman John Kirby slammed President Trump on Monday for employing a mostly military approach to combating extremism and radicalism rather than getting at the root causes.

State Dept admits jihadis have posed as refugees to enter US, still plans to admit more
What could possibly go wrong? Better dead Americans in jihad attacks than political incorrectness and a rejection of “multiculturalism” and “diversity.” “State Department: Jihadis Have Posed As Refugees To Enter US,” by Rachel Stoltzfoos, Daily Caller, September 21, 2016: Islamic State terrorists have tried to pose as refugees in order to gain admittance to the […]
State Dept admits deleting footage admitting deception on Iran nuke deal
We have already seen that the Obama administration sold the nuke deal to the American people by lying. This is just more evidence of this lies this rogue administration has propagated. “State Department admits briefing footage on Iran deal intentionally deleted,” Fox News, June 1, 2016 (thanks to Steve): The State Department, in a stunning […]
Obama Administration says Iran’s chants of “Death to America” are “not helpful,” but won’t have impact on nuke talks
Of course. Why should they? Just because they want to destroy us doesn’t mean that they won’t sit down and come to a mutually beneficial negotiated settlement with us, does it? Does it?
