BIDEN SPEECH, CLAIMS AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL A SUCCESS & MORE, HOW MANY AMERICANS ARE STILL STRANDED, ETC., DOOR TO DOOR TALIBAN KILLINGS, ISLAMIC LAW RE-INSTITUTED, ETC

You are encouraged to watch yet another statement from the president and form your own judgement as to his capacity issues....especially when he calls the withdrawal "an extraordinary success".....

President Biden appeared to get his math wrong during his address to the nation Tuesday on the withdrawal from Afghanistan by misstating the percentage of Americans who managed to get out of the war-torn country. In his remarks, Biden proclaimed the chaotic evacuation of Americans, Afghan allies and third-country nationals from Hamid Karzai International Airport outside Kabul to have been an “extraordinary success” and estimated that “about 100 to 200 Americans remain in Afghanistan with some intention to leave,” the same figure quoted by Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday.

You are encouraged to watch the video in its entirety. In the meantime: IMAGES OF BIDEN'S WAR WILL NEVER FADE

Rarely has one image more perfectly captured the moment — and totality — of a man’s presidency.

Befuddled by time, disoriented by a riot of terrible decisions, and confused by the demand for answers, President Joe Biden stood in the East Room of the White House, clutched his binder to his chest, and folded before the American people.
