    It goes deeper than that. The person in direct line for the Presidency, Nancy Pelosi (speaker of the house) presented George Floyd’s family with an American Flag which some say was the flag flown over the Capital.
    To me, it was a “birds of a feather” moment when she honored the criminal but yet, hasn’t shown her face to the families of the 13 fallen soldiers much less on the tarmac when the soldiers disembarked the planes.

    The old gal ought to retire soon. But overall she's been a good'un. Sort of like a fairy god mother over in ethe House. I suppose
    I ought to mention one of my favorite politicians was Harry Reid. That ought to get a bunch of Amens, but I'm not sure where.

    It seems like everything coming from the White House from Covid to Afghanistan has been a lie since February.

    When Biden raised his hand to take the oath, that was his first lie as “President”.

    Guys...did you see the USA military equipment being operated in Afghanistan....by the Taliban? The American experts said "Is impossible for the Taliban to operate this equipment. "

    It’s a “dunno” moment once again. American military equipment is made for and operated by men and women who are barely out of high school.
    Vietnam era helicopter pilots were only around 19-23 years old or so and I’m fairly sure that it hasn’t changed all that much.
    What I’m driving at is with the possible exception of some of our electronics, the major portion of our equipment is made with KISS in mind ergo anyone of average intelligence with a little practice can proficiently operate our equipment.
    To me, it’s easier to tear apart and put back together a Huey UH1-D than it is to assemble a 12 speed bike on Christmas Eve.

    Note: KISS= Keep it simple soldier or….Keep it simple saint or…..Keep it simple stupid.

    Just a comment on misdirection.
    First we had the Covid thing to screw up Trump’s last year in office and to misdirect people’s concept about the ballot and mail in voting systems.
    Then, when 5 or states start to get busy doing a true audit on the voting systems we have a couple extra Covid strains to misdirect folk’s from concentrating on the audits.
    Next we had the Afghanistan pullout debacle and Joe giving the Taliban the names and locations of our people and those who helped them and all Joe B. wanted to do was misdirect and talk about the vaccine and Covid-19 and the off shoots from that.
    During that whole timeline we have a great attempt by Kamala Harris to subvert the attention away from Afghanistan when she took her diplomatic tour to the southeast and visited Hanoi which was only slightly successful in that she did manage to tick off a lot of Vietnam vets.
    Of course then we have Biden’s watch fetish when our fallen soldiers came home which did somewhat misdirect people from dead soldiers to how lousy Joe’s idea of patriotism is.

    I have avoided getting too long winded because there are a lot more features that appeared in the news that was all points of misdirection and if you’ll notice, not one word about the Arizona audit has been uttered by the media since the pullout started.

    They know that people forget things very quickly and it won’t be long, maybe a day or two, before something gigantic will pop up and most citizens will put Afghanistan way past where even a look at the rear view mirror will be blank.
