Those numbers are worthless. I've copied the part of their article about what the US has done and they ONLY talk about the number of US citizens the US got out. What about the Afghanis we evacuated? I posted a picture earlier where they had like 500 people on a single plane, and according to your article we didn't evacuate ANY Afghanis. Compare that to Italy, France, Canada, etc. where they list the number of the nations' citizens AND the number of Afghanis evacuated.

This article really should be called anti-US propaganda, not "fact".

"
The U.S. military will continue evacuating people from Kabul airport until Aug. 31 if needed, but will prioritize the removal of U.S. troops and military equipment on the last couple of days, the Pentagon has said. On Monday, two U.S. officials said most U.S. diplomats had left the country. read more

Washington has evacuated 5,400 U.S. citizens since Aug. 14, according to the U.S. government.

There were still about 350 U.S. citizens in Afghanistan trying to leave the country, a State Department spokesman said."

 

So your philosophy is that if you can't control some data being taken you might as well give up and give away everything? Every piece of the puzzle makes a difference, and I can "prove" that easily. How? Every piece of that data is worth money to someone.

 

So Larry Elder is a man running to replace Gov. Newsom in Calif. Yesterday he had some woman yell at him while wearing a gorilla mask. Now if this was some right wing woman doing this to a left wing candidate there's no question it would be called a hate crime and indicative of the inherent racism of the Republican party, yet when it's a left wing woman and a right wing candidate? It's not even on the news on CNN or MSN!

Our country can stand a few bad politicians, but I don't know if we'll be able to stand without a press that reports *news*.

"
California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder reacted Thursday to an encounter while campaigning in Los Angeles with a woman wearing a gorilla mask who threw an egg at his head and later slapped the Republican's security personnel in the face.

On "Tucker Carlson Tonight," host Jesse Watters noted the woman, who is White, attacked Elder, who is Black, and asked the candidate and South Los Angeles native about the incident.

"She might be one of the 20,000 people that were released early from our prisons; felons, many of whom were violent offenders under this governor, I don't know. We have two soft-on-crime DA's," Elder said.

Elder called the scene "angry and ugly," and noted that if he were a Democrat, the incident would "be called systematic racism," or a "hate crime."

Immigration "activists" followed Sen. Sinema in to a bathroom and recorded her going in to a stall. Can't this be prosecuted as harassment? One ought to at least be able to find some peace in the bathroom.

A statement from Mitch McConnell on raising the debt ceiling. Ol' Mitch has an occasional good line, I'll give him that.

"Bipartisanship is not a light switch that Speaker Pelosi and Leader Schumer may flip on to borrow money and flip off to spend it," McConnell said. "We have no list of demands. For two and a half months, we have simply warned that since your party wishes to govern alone, it must handle the debt limit alone as well."

Yeah. See, the thing is that while they were obligated to put up a fuss in public, Pelosi, Schumer, et. al. are all *rich* themselves, and although this might come as a shock, they are actually *in favor* of things that let them pay less taxes.

 

Sure, I include good ole Mitch in that list.

On the current bill? I *also* bet that Nancy and Chuck expect to profit quite highly from its passage, regardless of its negative effects on the country as a whole.
