Dream on, Kids. The Child Care bill and the infrastructure bills will be front and center next year, as the Republican War recedes into the past.

Can never take away things..... look at the outcry over turning off the faucet for unemployment after over a year and a half, imagine, paying rent and going to work..... half of NJ has been double dipping from day one..... workers, construction, lawns, cleaning, all taking cash and collecting at the same time.... then multiply, by millions

That is not reality. These bills will be DOA at the Senate. But better try quickly, the GOP WILL take the House next year.

Barry did a lot of ramping up the war there and most of the deaths of locals and troops was on his watch.

Not to mentions the hundreds of terrorist attacks all around the globe during his illustrious tenure....it all came to a stop when the Orange man stepped in.... N Korea quiet as a mouse (until this week), relative peace in the Middle East, on and on...Biden, an American tragedy, for it's people

Don't worry about that 20% increase in the price of semiconductors from Taiwan. The way it's figured in the inflation rate, it's really a 50% DECREASE, because this year's technology is that much better than last year's. That's how the entire electronics category that they use in calculating the inflation rate shows that we're just paying a little over 1% of what we were paying for electronics way back in 1998......

I voted for Carter twice, because I felt the Iraq situation was not his fault. In Biden's case, we can't say that.

Iran situation I think you mean.

Totally correct. Thanks.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan has been a spectacular success thus far, with some 120,000 persons evacuated. President Biden showed real leadership in this matter.

Expand full comment

Yeah that really went well. Biden is totally amazing at evacs. Only had 13 serviceman blown to smithereens, a few Afghans fall to their death, and 85 Billion in gear left to the Taliban. Heck of a job Joey!

Sam, a couple of relevant thoughts here. First, most of those were not Americans, but Afghans, and a high percentage of them were not vetted, but simple able to elbow out others. We don't know how many of them are actually ISIS or similar terrorists, but there are already those who have been ID'd as being on the terrorist watch list (and likely there are many more not identified):

https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/us-official-at-least-100-afghan-evacuees-flown-out-of-kabul-found-to-be-on-terror-watch-lists/

Secondly, we left hundreds and possibly thousands of US citizens stranded, which Biden had promised not to do. We NEVER leave our people behind, but he did.

Third, praising him for evacuating a lot of people is like praising a captain who sank his own ship for the fact that a lot of people made it to the lifeboats. It would not have been necessary but for his own stupidity and arrogance. He refused to follow Trump's plan by making the withdrawal unconditional (Trump would have bombed the Taliban the minute they violated the agreement by marching on cities, and in fact did so last year), by doing the withdrawal in at the worst time seasonally, by giving up Bagram AFB, and by getting rid of an agency Trump created to make withdrawal orderly and safe.

Lastly, Biden gave the Taliban a "kill list" identifying every Afghan who worked with us, including where to find them. Nice ally, eh? So when they go door-to-door to torture and murder those who helped us, and rape their wives and children, Biden will have even more blood on his hands.

I know you want to support the worthless, feckless piece of crap that you voted for, but you need to take an honest look at who he is and what he has done. He doesn't have the honor or courage to resign; you must have enough to allow yourself to see the truth.

One other point: I've just heard that there are private parties (ex-Navy Seals, etc) who are trying to get US citizens and loyal Afghan friends out on their own dime in private planes, but Biden's State Dept is trying to stop them, and telling other countries to not allow them to land in their countries. What kind of evil traitor does that? Had Trump done that, I'd demand he be impeached myself, and I'm a Trump supporter! Do YOU have the personal integrity to demand the same for Biden?

Believe they don't want anyone bringing back the facts of numbers of Americans left behind (still waiting for that number, in fact, any number.... how many came home, how many ot the 120K airlifted were Germans, Brits, French, etc....not a peep, these people are political maggots, liars, can't even call it spin, just outright liars. And the American media has uncaged them on the American people.

The evacuation from the Titanic also set a record back then for the most life rafts launched from a ship. That was also as spectacular as this event, and the captain of the Titanic showed real leadership as well.

Not a single number given by the administration as to which country airlifted who, not a one. How many did the Germans, French, Brits airlift, how many were their citizens, how many were Americans, how many were Afghans, (how many of them were vetted, maybe getting flying lessons in the cockpit). How many, who, from where, to where, nadda. These people are royal f*ck ups. I will bet, am sure, in fact, that the Germans and French and Brits know of almost every national that was in Afghanistan, why ? Because they all have national ID. Required by law. Unlike the lunatic democrats in the USA who would really rather that we have no frigging idea who is in our country, who pays taxes, apparently we are the only country on the planet where every living human being has the right to walk, swim, wade, climb, hide in a truck and have more rights than the citizens who are paying for them....you know, you remember, befor CRT, we learned about "taxation without representation", rather than the racist slop and division being taught to our kids, no wonder they have no appreciation or understanding of how damn fortunate they all are, none. Tragic
