Sunday Stuff

Now that I've reported on my latest travels (with more to come in the week ahead), as I sit in my undisclosed (except to some friends who listen to a certain show on Spreaker) location in Missouri, I can present some things going on:

From National Review, as the Taliban close in, Afghani President Ashraf Ghani leaves his country.

From Townhall, we should never believe that liberals give a [bleep].

From The Washington Free Beacon, the Pentagon approves more troops for Kabul, Afghanistan.

From the Washington Examiner, over 700 people are reported dead after a magnitude-7.2 earthquake in Haiti.

From The Federalist, a federal judge in Texas orders President Biden to reinstate former President Trump's "remain in Mexico" policy.  (This doesn't seem too different from other judges ordering Trump to keep former President Obama's DACA policy in place.)

From American Thinker, while Afghanis seeking to flee to the U.S. face a 14-step visa application process, would-be illegal aliens at our southern border are told to "come on in".

From CNS News, Biden's July prediction that no one would be lifted by helicopter off the U.S. embassy roof in Kabul, as people were in Saigon, Vietnam in 1975, fails.  (The former city of Saigon is now known as Ho Chi Minh City.)

From LifeZette, left-wing mouthpiece Al Sharpton accuses Texas Republicans of acting like "many segregationists" in the 1960s.

From NewsBusters, networks praised Biden's order to withdraw the U.S. military from Afghanistan.

From Canada Free Press, this year, a half-million coronavirus positive illegal aliens might infect two million Americans.

From TeleSUR, the Mexican government considers a bill that would allow citizens to remove their president from office before his term ends.  (The article points out that Mexican presidents normally serve a six-year term.)

From TCW Defending Freedom, BBC coronavirus "vaccine cheerleader" Jeremy Vine "gets his comeuppance".

From Free West Media, French protesters rise up against vaccine health passes for the fifth consecutive week.

From The North Africa Post, the U.S. company PPG opens its first automotive sealants plant in Africa, in Tangier, Morocco.

From Allah's Willing Executioners, a new trend on TikTok aims to make the headscarf more attractive to girls in Germany and Austria.

From Jewish News Syndicate, Palestinians construct and then burn a Star of David and a swastika near the evacuated outpost of Evyatar in the West Bank.

From The Guardian, a live blog of events in Afghanistan.

From Khaama Press, U.K. troops leave Afghanistan.  (I can only wonder how long my three Afghan sources, which are Khaama Press, The Afghanistan Times and Pajhwok Afghan News, will each continue to exist.)

From Gatestone Institute, the BBC leads the world against Israel.

From The Stream, the lesson that should be learned from Afghanistan.

From The American Conservative, Kabul becomes "the dead end of the road".

From The Western Journal, despite President Biden's promises, Kabul today looks a lot like Saigon in 1975.  (As the old saying goes, those who don't learn from the past are condemned to relive it.)

From BizPac Review, according to former President Trump, his administration had a plan for leaving Afghanistan, which Biden ignored.

From The Daily Wire, the Taliban hold a press conference from Afghanistan's presidential palace.

From the Daily Caller, Biden faces heavy criticism for vacationing at Camp David while the Taliban gain ground in Kabul.

From the New York Post, videos show "mass panic" at the Kabul Airport.

From Breitbart, according to Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), "President Biden owns this mess" in Afghanistan.

From Newsmax, according to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), the coronavirus surge is due to the illegal immigration surge.

And from the Genesius Times, according to a CNN report, QAnon and other white supremacists have overtaken Kabul.
