Misplaced Priorities Gets People Killed.
When the government uses the nation as a Laboratory for social engineering experiments...bad things happen.
Senator Howley (R-MO) released a video setting forth a time line of the Biden Administration’s priorities as the Afghanistan fiasco unfolded. It’s a devastating indictment of our ‘leaders.’1
June 11, At the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Secretary of Defense Austin was asked “is the U.S. Military a fundamentally racists organization?” Austin stated that he couldn’t give an answer and instead talked about the military’s “urgent support for equity.”
One week later, 21 districts and nine provinces had fallen to the Taliban and Afghan security forces began to abandon their posts.
June 21, Secretary of State Blinken announced that the 'Progress Flag' would fly at the State Department to celebrate "diversity and intersectionality"
The very next day, the Taliban seized the main Afghan trade gateway.
June 23. General Milley, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff stated to the House Armed Services Committee “I want to understand white rage" and defended the Biden Administration's focus on white extremism in the military.
The very next day, US intelligence assessed that the Afghan government would collapse within 6 months of our withdrawal
July 1. Blinken was changing US Passports to create "non-binary, intersex, and gender nonconforming" categories.
The very next day, American troops withdrew from Bagram air base
July 14. Blinken invited the UN to formally investigate "the scourge of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia in the US"
At the same time Blinken was speaking, the Taliban offensive was surging across Afghanistan.
August 9. Austin was crafting a controversial, COVID-19 vaccine mandate for service members
The very next day, US intelligence warned that the Afghan government would collapse within 90 days or sooner.
August 17. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the Taliban was helping to provide "safe passage" for Americans fleeing Afghanistan.
One week later, a terrorist attack at Kabul left 13 American service members dead, at least 169 civilians wounded, and hundreds of Americans left behind enemy lines. [I believe the Senator meant to say there were 169 civilians killed, not wounded].
Senator Howley rung that bell when he observed "Joe Biden and his team were more focused on their culture war than they were on protecting Americans."
My observations: As Biden and his gang falsely accuse Border Patrol agents of whipping illegal Haitian immigrants, the Taliban announced that it’s going to reinstate amputations and executions as punishment under Sharia law. However, to show they are more sensitive terrorist than 20 years ago, they may decide to chop people’s hands off someplace other then in stadiums. The Administration’s silence on this issue is as deafening as their vocal damning of the Border Patrol over an event that never occurred.
Honestly, Biden is in dire need of adult supervision before he gets more people killed.
