Joe Biden Is Who We Said He Was. Nobody should, any longer, pretend that Joe Biden is fit to lead this nation. More here: Something Is Wrong with the President
Biden Scrapped Trump Afghanistan Rescue Plan. under President Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo’s State Department had ordered the creation of a “Contingency and Crisis Response” office whose job would be avoiding “a future Benghazi-style situation for Americans overseas.”

Biden's Bungle: U.S. General Tells British Special Forces Commander in Kabul to Stop Rescuing Your Citizens, You're Making the U.S. Look Bad
Why Trump Was Driven from Office
No American Military Leader Should Ever Say What Lloyd Austin Said. There are an estimated 10,000–15,000 Americans in Afghanistan now who need to be evacuated as the Taliban seize control of the country. Anyone left behind could find themselves reliving the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis or the hostage crisis in Lebanon shortly thereafter. The Taliban are undoubtedly well aware of the leverage they could obtain by holding Americans hostage. Evacuation is therefore not just a pressing humanitarian matter; it is essential to preventing a bunch of Stone Age barbarians from dictating terms to the United States of America.
The FBI has uncovered little evidence that the January 6 Capitol riot was organized beforehand, four current and former law-enforcement officials told Reuters on Friday.
The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan on Saturday warned Americans looking to evacuate not to head to Kabul airport unless directed to do so, citing “potential security threats.” The alert came one day after President Biden claimed that the U.S. had not received reports of American citizens being unable to enter Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul.
The most common explanations for the botched the American scuttle from Afghanistan are (i) Joe Biden lacks the capacity to make competent decisions and (ii) Joe Biden stubbornly rammed through his decisions against the advice of our armed forces and intelligence agencies. Most commentators on the Right side of the blogosphere seem to believe both, reminding me of the left-wing denunciations of George W. Bush for being both too stupid to eat a pretzel safely and a war criminal mastermind.

Now that we have moved, I am testing the limits of “cutting the cord”; eliminating expensive services thought essential to modern life. It is working very well, though you do still have to have decent Internet service.
On your smart TV or device like ROKU or Amazon Fire, search for a streaming channel called “Locast”. You can try it for free. Locast will give you all the local TV stations plus about 35 more extra channels in real time including a TV guide. The extra channels will give you old programs with things like a teenage Clint Eastwood in Rawhide. Locast has annoying commercials, but you can eliminate them for $5/month. You will lose the DVR’s ability to save shows for later, but you can find your favorites on the Internet in a day or so.
For the telephone, we are using VOIP (voice over Internet protocol) which gives me all the services and more than I got from AT&T for $75/month. Your prices may vary, but I am paying ooma.com about $5/month. You can buy their widget from Best Buy, try it out, and return it if you don’t like it. My experience is that it works better than AT&T.
