  Darin Hoover, a Gold Star Father at Dover this weekend, was very unhappy with Biden’s disrespectful behavior during the transfer service on Sunday, noting that Biden kept checking his watch over and over, saying he did it every single time a fallen service member was received at Dover: nam Hoover claimed the president looked down at his watch not once but several times as the caskets were being offloaded: "That didn't happen just once. It happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They would release the salute, and he would look down at his watch on every last one, all 13, he looked down at his watch," Hoover said. "As a father, seeing that and the disrespect, and hearing from his former leaders, one of [Taylor's] master sergeants said … that this was avoidable -- that they left them over there: They had them over there and let them down, and we can't have that. It can't happen ever again,"...

  NBC News' chief foreign correspondent   Richard Engel   knocked the   Biden   administration's "chaotic withdrawal" from   Afghanistan .  Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Engel called the evacuation of over 100,000 people a "success" but noted that "there are many people who are being left behind" and began questioning the "legacy" of President Biden's decision to pull troops out of Afghanistan.  "Many people I'm speaking to say we are far worse off than we were from the beginning because within a few weeks of launching this war, the Taliban were overthrown, al-Qaeda was scattered," Engel said while reporting from Qatar on Monday. "Now, the U.S. is leaving after 20 years with the Taliban in power and the United States having been driven out. It's a tremendous legacy." Engel questioned whether "we are going to see the next Usama bin Laden" in the fallout of the Afghan withdrawal,...

  Secretary of State   Antony Blinken was criticized on Monday for not taking questions from reporters following his speech commemorating the military withdrawal from   Afghanistan .  During his address, Blinken touted the ending of troop presence in Afghanistan following 20 years of war. He expressed optimism in pursuing a diplomatic path with the Taliban as the terror group has taken control of the country. The secretary of state did acknowledge, however, that a "small number of Americans- under 200" are still in Afghanistan and want to leave.  At the conclusion of his speech, several reporters attempted to shout their questions at Blinken, who ignored them as he walked away from the podium.  My goodness I don’t think I’ve ever transcribed a more robotic speech and delivery in my life. Just watch it if you don’t believe me. But anyway, to Blinken’s point about helping Americans leave, how exactly will he do that? The Taliban are in control of the whole...

  CNN anchor Jim Acosta encouraged CNN viewers on Saturday to set aside politics and offer "thoughts and prayers" for tragedies that are unfolding in  Afghanistan . But the CNN anchor was quickly reminded of the times he criticized others for offering "thoughts and prayers" and didn't set aside politics.  On Twitter, Acosta shared his report from " CNN Newsroom " where he slammed Republicans for "exploiting" the Kabul airport attack. "My thoughts on Afghanistan this week... now is not the time to score political points. Just imagine just this once if we simply offered our thoughts and prayers. Give it some thought. Pray on it," he said.  Critics were quick to point out that Acosta  frequently  criticized the notion of "thoughts and prayers" or promoted people calling it "empty words" rather than meaningful actions. Commentary associate editor Noah Rothman reminded Acosta of his tweet on April 8 post where he q...

  Obviously I’ve had the hurricane at the top of my mind this weekend. Suffice it to say it has interrupted my availability. So by no dang means am I minimizing the importance of hurricane news, instructions, briefings or updates. But y’all better KNOW that if Donald Trump were giving a hurricane briefing and someone asked HIM about a situation like what is going on in Afghanistan, where Americans are being murdered by terrorists, left behind in chaos, and our gear is being used to create a TERROR ARMY, and he just said “nah, son” and walked off there would be HUUUUUUUUGE outrage in the press. But they will absolutely defend him here, saying it wasn’t an appropriate time or that the hurricane is also important or whatever. But watch this: "I’m not supposed to take any questions but go ahead," Biden told Bloomberg News reporter  Jennifer Jacobs . Jacobs began, "Mr. President, on Afghanistan—" "I’m not gonna answer on Afghanistan now," Biden interjected befo...

  Carl has worked for the United States for 10 years. While Carl doesn’t believe he will be able to evacuate, he said he is willing to try to return to the airport to get his daughter out of the country. "If I get a chance to go back to the airport, yes, I will try," he said. "It doesn't matter if I'm going to get blown up. I'm doing all this because I have a 5-year-old daughter that I'm trying to get her out of here so she can have a great future. And I don't want her to suffer." Jen Wilson, COO of Army Week Association, is working to evacuate Afghan allies. She has tried for two weeks to get Carl out of Afghanistan. "We’re going to get you out," she told Carl through tears. Despite Wilson’s effort to reassure him, Carl believes he’s going to die before he can escape. "I know that I'm going to be left behind. I know that for sure. I know that I'm going to get killed," Carl said. "But the good thing is that I'...

  White House press secretary Jen Psaki said later on Friday that "nothing has changed" about the federal government's decision to recommend Covid-19 booster shots to eligible Americans eight months after they are fully vaccinated. "The President would rely on any guidance by the CDC and the FDA and his health and medical experts. That guidance continues to be eight months. That has not changed," she said at a White House briefing.

  The Pentagon reported this morning that there was only one suicide bombing yesterday and it was at the Abbey gate at the airport in Kabul: They aren’t sure how the second bombing reports near the Baron hotel came to be, but said they believe there was only one bombing yesterday. Remember,  Stuart Scheller was relieved for cause after demanding that senior U.S. leaders hold themselves accountable for actions made during the U.S. military's withdrawal from   Afghanistan   that led to the deaths of 13 service members. Officials confirmed to Fox News on Thursday that 11 Marines, an Army soldier and a Navy corpsman were killed in explosions near Kabul's airport Thursday. Another 169 Afghans were killed, according to two officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Scheller, a father of three who has been in the USMC Infantry for 17 years, mentioned senior military leaders including Marine Commandant Gen. David H. Berger, Defense Secreta...

  "The ramifications of this are absolutely unbelievable. First, we lost more men in this outrageous boggled, messed up withdrawal than we lost in the last 18 months in  Afghanistan ," Levin told host Jesse Watters. "The idea that you would create basically the Alamo – you'd have no airpower, you'd have no external military support so the enemy knows where to hit you, so the enemy knows where to hit anybody who tries to get there." Mark Levin  also blamed Biden's closest adviser for their role in strategizing the strategic failure: "I do not know what kind of generals we have, I do not know the kind of advice the president is getting, but this president is a disaster. He's always been a disaster, he's reckless, he's dangerous, he stubborn, and he is stupid. And now it's just cost us some lives." Levin predicted Biden will strand thousands of American citizens in Afghanistan at the mercy of Taliban militants as he appears steadfa...

  Former President Donald Trump addressed the attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan on August 26, 2021. He said the attack “would not have happened if I were your president.” As one nation, America mourns the loss of our brave and brilliant American service members in a savage and barbaric terrorist attack in Afghanistan. These noble American warriors laid down their lives in the line of duty. They sacrifice themselves so the country that they loved, racing against time to rescue their fellow citizens from harm’s way. They died as American heroes and our nation will honor their memory forever. I want to express my deepest condolences to the families of those we have lost. Today all Americans grieve alongside you. Together we also pray that God will heal the other courageous American service members who were wounded in this heinous attack. In addition, our hearts are with the families of all the innocent civilians who died, and with the many men, women, and children who were t...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dismissed calls for President Joe Biden to resign in the wake of a terrorist attack in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. service members, saying that there’s no room for politics in the discussion of the tragedy.   "I would say, first, this is a day where US service members — 12 of them — lost their lives at the hands of terrorists,"   Psaki said. A 13th service member was declared dead following Psaki's remarks.  "I can confirm that subsequent to Gen. McKenzie's remarks, a thirteenth US service member has died from his wounds suffered as a result of the attack on Abbey Gate," a spokesperson from CENTCOM said.  "This is a day where U.S. service members, 12 of them, lost their lives at the hands of terrorists," Psaki said during a Thursday briefing. "It is not a day for politics. We would expect that any American, whether they are elected or not, would stand with us in our commitment to going after ...

  "We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay," Biden said in early evening remarks from the White House, hours after the Pentagon said 12 service members had been killed in two separate suicide blasts outside the airport gates. Shortly after Biden spoke, US Central Command announced an additional US service member has died, with a total of 18 wounded. Ten Marines were among the 13 service members killed. In a subdued but firm tone, Biden said he's asked the US military for options to respond to the explosions, which he said had been carried out by the Islamic State affiliate operating in Afghanistan. "We will respond with force and precision at our time, at the place we choose and the moment of our choosing," Biden said. "Here's what you need to know: These ISIS terrorists will not win." The terror attacks, which came after days of public and private warnings from  Biden  of a potential threat that could disrup...

  The Pentagon confirmed the initial explosion as well as a second attack at the Baron Hotel, where Americans have gathered in the past for rescue and evacuation. Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr. said two suicide bombers were assessed to be ISIS fighters.  "The threat from ISIS is extremely real," he said. "We believe it is their desire to continue those attacks, and we expect those attacks to continue, and we're doing everything we can to prepare for those attacks." Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued a statement on the attacks.  "On behalf of the men and women of the Department of Defense, I express deepest condolences to the loved ones and teammates of all those killed and wounded in Kabul today," he said. "Terrorists took their lives at the very moment these troops were trying to save the lives of others." "We mourn their loss. We will treat their wounds. And we will support their families in what will most assuredly be devas...
