And I'm mocking your feigned concern about what the streets of Philly look like. You don't think red hat rural areas are immune from this same drug abuse?

When was the last time you drove through the square in Dildo, FL and saw needle freaks all tented up and crapping on the sidewalk?

F'n disaster. For the life of me I don't know why this isn't a bigger deal. It's shameful how the administration is more concerned about optics than doing the damn job.

I don’t see how they get anything but negative optics with this obfuscation.

'It would be such an honor to meet the real President of the United States of America': Gold Star mom of Marine who was slain in Afghanistan ASKS TRUMP– NOT Biden – to attend son’s funeral after slamming president

The mother of one of the Marines killed in a suicide attack in Afghanistan has invited Donald Trump to attend the funeral, snubbing President Joe Biden after slamming him as responsible for the deaths of US troops.

Shana Chappell, the mother of 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, invited Trump to attend his funeral in a Facebook post, writing: 'It would be such an honor to meet the real President of the United States of America, President Trump. I love you and America loves you.'

It was not immediately clear whether Trump planned to attend the September 18 funeral in Riverside, California, but he acknowledged Chappell's invitation in a statement, saying, 'Thank you Shana—our Country loves you and especially loves your beautiful boy, Kareem.'

Afghan Refugee Blocked from Flight To US With Explosive Materials, but no terrorism suspected: Report

An Afghan refugee departing Germany to the United States was detained Monday after authorities discovered explosive materials in his luggage, according to a new report.

The male refugee, identified only as an Afghan citizen born in the early 1990s, was prevented from flying to the U.S. after screeners at Ramstein Air Base found blasting caps, an igniter switch, and other materials inside his bag, Just the News reported , citing three U.S. officials. The man reportedly worked as a contractor for the U.S. government when he was evacuated from Afghanistan , and officials suspect the materials were related to his work rather than terrorism.

The Americans need to get out and we need to ensure that happens.

As for after, I don't give one rats *** if they are murdering journalists, beheading pop singers, and throwing gays off rooftops. Cry me a f****** river. We gave 20 years to make it happen and they folded in less than a month. They wanted this and it shouldn't be our place to fix it. If change is what is really wanted they are going to have to stand up and fight for it. We simply can't do it for them and the bleeding heart Twitter warriors placing blame on the U.S. for Taliban rule with a iron fist can STFU.

Agreed, I have no sympathy for the Afgans that wouldn’t fight.

Armed U.S. Citizens Caught On Way to Afghanistan, Raising Concerns of Rogue Civilian Operations (msn.com)

Thoughts?

I say let them go. But if they are caught or whatever, I don't want to hear how we abandoned them or left them behind. Personal responsibility absolutely has to be held to at some point.

My brother's friend is ex special forces, told me last week about some of his friends headed there to meet up with others already on the ground. They are working with the loose blessing of the military and CIA unless they are discovered then they are on their own. They are being armed by military and CIA assets in the region.

He's a really humble dude, and cool as a cucumber. To look at him you'd never guess he was a dangerous man.

I have met two special forces guys in my lifetime: one was an army ranger and the other was seal.

Both were very laid back guys but both, especially the ranger, just had this “I could kill you in seconds” vibe that was surreal.

I don't get that vibe from him, but there is what I would best describe as a quiet, not boastful, razor sharp confidence about him.

That has been my experience around these guys. It’s not arrogance, it’s a sense of supreme confidence and they really believe there is nothing they can’t do, and will die trying if necessary.

Disagree with the ones I've met out of the 10th.

They won't die trying. They'll call friends before that happens...
