now, i don't claim to be an "A" student baby

 but i'm trying to be . (Sam Cooke)

you would need to smarter than an A student to make sense of what's happening around the world today , and navigate the mountains of hypocrisy.

*The State department wants to charge $2,000 per person for the flights out of Afghanistan for people that are literally fleeing for their lives with nothing but the close on their backs......BUT.....if you illegally sneak over our southern border , you can get a free flight to practically anywhere in the country. just tell the govt where you supposedly have family or friends and they will fly you there.

**   Covid is a priority of this Administration , but the borders are open and illegal immigrants are being accepted and moved around the country without ever being tested for Covid.

*** Joe Biden july 8

 "The Taliban is not the south—the North Vietnamese army. They're not—they're not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There's going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the—of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable

During that press conference, Biden also insisted that a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan was not "inevitable." He pushed back against journalists questions that noted intelligence indicated that the U.S.-backed Afghan government would fall within a relatively short period of time.

"I trust the capacity of the Afghan military, who is better trained, better equipped, and more—more competent in terms of conducting war," Biden said at the time.

and just 2 days ago when being interviewed by old pal george stephanopolous.

he insisted there was NO WAY to pull out that wouldn't result in CHAOS......George pressed him and said so you priced that into the decision....and the POTUS replied "YES"

next question should have been, then why did you plan a vacation at Camp David and ignore calls from our allies for 72 hours when you KNEW this was going to happen ?

but for me the most frightening comments were the ones below......everyone forgets a word sometimes....a lot of people stutter or pause when they lose their train of thought....but this is beyond all that. when told most veterans wished we could have left with dignity, he replied with this jumble salad where he gets his own sons branch of service and location of deployment wrong and basically says NOTHING

BIDEN: Look, that’s like askin’ my deceased son Beau, who spent six months in Kosovo and a year in Iraq as a Navy captain and then major– I mean, as an Army major. And, you know, I’m sure h– he had regrets comin’ out of Afganista– I mean, out of Iraq.

He had regrets to what’s– how– how it’s going. But the idea– what’s the alternative? The alternative is why are we staying in Afghanistan?

im sure someday soon the NSA will erase this blog ......but as President Kennedy told Vince Riccardo about the cuban Missile crisis in the Inlaws

"at least we tried"
