    It's just a matter of not restricting your sources to MSNBC and CNN.

    Some folks choose their news agencies like they do their churches. Their first concern is the person who is delivering the message and has little to do with the actual content of that message.
    We see that especially when pro athletes and celebrities make their views known. They know no more [and sometimes less] about any subject in the news than anyone else does but the star struck listener will hang onto everything they say.

    The above isn’t a put down because it’s natural for people to flock around people they like. But, to take everything they say as the gospel truth instead of verifying and turning over some rocks on their own and give due diligence to a subject, they sit contented that the information they have is enough.

    As an example: in the case of Kabul, I belong to a couple of veteran and active military sites so I know who is being deployed and where they are going and why which is how I knew from earliest on that some personnel from the 82nd Airborne were deployed to Kuwait and Kabul.
    I also knew that the Marines with the 1st battalion received and returned fire on Saturday outside of Kabul.
    The important thing is that I can easily separate opinions and the scuttlebutt from actual facts.

    Yvonne tracks flight traffic on a site she trusts. She knows when and where military traffic is going and even when Air Force 1&2 are in the air and where they land.

    Everyone has access to all the little stuff and some big stuff if they just do the work to get it. They don’t have to listen to what comes out of Don Lemmon’s handsome face nor look at Kimberly Gilfoyle’s knees to get the real news.

    I hold them all responsible since there was one news source that was reporting the facts. Their choice not to watch it or to ignorantly call it a conspiracy was a choice that deserves a consequence. The problem is the consequence will hurt us all, not just those that made bad choices. It is like the military idea that since GI Jim can't make his bed right, the entire troop will be punished until Jim can get it right. I am getting tired of paying the price for others' arrogance or ignorance when I did my best to help them see what was really happening.

    Old Joe isn't as brain dead as they want us to think. I don't see him much different from what he was 20 years ago. I think the dementia thing is way overplayed. I think Joe knows exactly what he is doing as does Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Shiff, and a host of others that sought power and financial reward over the best interest of the USA. Joe has played the dementia thing well and he deserves an Oscar and then be stripped of all power and wealth and forced to live among the gators in cypress swamps. He no doubts has some dementia, but I have always detected it was mostly an act. Just part of the big scam.

    Most of the others as well as Soros deserve the death penalty. Most Antifa members deserve 60 years on a chain gang or the death penalty.

    No justice will ever be served because we live in a nation of cowards and I include nearly everyone in that. Lots of words, but little to no action on the part of the patriots and no admission of being duped by the Democrat voters. The division widens. Every time I hear "we must vote them out," I want to puke. "Let's wait and see what happens at midterms," also makes me ill. So we have bad cancer but let's wait to see if it goes into remission on its own in a year instead of treating it now.

    The freedoms the USA once enjoyed, won't be returned at the voting booth or by computer algorithms, it will only return when citizens gather in millions and demand its return and convince the military to stand with them and against the tyrants and fascists that stole it.

    Everything you say is OK.......but the world should remember that to deal with terrorist (GFARC / TALIBAN / ERP .........) is useless.
    As I said in other posts we can't expect to cure a contagious disease by drinking water. No, the terrorists don't respect rules. Period.

    I certainly don't think it is all an act. As I have said, Biden was never particularly bright--just very corrupt throughout his entire political career--but watching him perform in the international arena as a confused old man being belittled and ridiculed by other country's leaders is not something any sane person would endure if they knew it was happening, especially when you are supposed to be the Big Dog at the meeting. Watching Jill take his arm and lead a very confused old man to where he was supposed to be was touching and very disturbing at the same time. There are some statements made by associates and family members that they knew he was in decline and allowed him to be put into this position anyway.

    Many a conservative commentator sees Obama's fingerprints all over this debacle. He was the first president who deliberately tried to destroy the nation he led but he couldn't finish the destruction as he would be credited with it. Now he can destroy the country and a bumbling idiot takes the fall...even though he (Biden) apparently doesn't realize what is happening.

    Okay, a little bit of the smoke has settled and they’re supposedly working on bringing people who worked for the Afghan government and the Americans to the U.S.
    My question is this: In the 20 years we have spent in Afghanistan, how many didn’t work for Afghanistan or the U.S.?

    Yep, he is spreading Covid throughout the country with illegals, and now he is perhaps importing terrorists due to lack of vetting and the haste with which this is done. Note that the guys that Obama released form Gitmo during his two terms are now heading up the new Afghan government under the Taliban. Obama/Biden is completing his destruction of America.
