I am back from a lovely vacation. But I did forget to hit Publish.

Anyway, it looks like the heat wave was probably more deadly than we originally thought. I guess those heat events are here to stay. Or at least more common. Pffft

Anyway, please wash your hands right now, and get vaccinated if you haven’t yet.

    In Saudi Arabia a woman cannot marry, work, or travel without having first obtained a legal document granting her permission from a male relative.

    Do you need to ask if women in Saudi Arabia are allowed to vote?
    I hope you don’t.

    As recently as only a few years ago Saudi prosecutors sought a sentence of beheading for female women’s rights defenders who spoke out against these laws.

    And then of course there’s Royal Sheik Bone Saw. The journalist he cut apart with a cordless bonesaw was reporting on these very same human rights offenses.

    Keep it in mind when you are forced to endure Ted Cruz simpering about “the girls” in Afghanistan.

    Why I wonder do we accept the inevitable excuses?
    This should really be an easy call. I count seven cops fired.
    But instead it will be one cop given a three month paid vacation and a letter in his jacket. And LA taxpayers will cough up a couple hundred thou to this shithead and his lawyer.

    There’s reason why they all must be fired. And it’s not just ACAB. It’s because this shit only gets worse. Next time he’ll kill one of your kids. And the other six cops will rat fuck the crime scene to make sure he gets away with it.

    For half a century, employers refused to share the nation’s growing prosperity with workers. After 1970, nearly all the inflation-adjusted income growth went to asset owners, and the 60%-40% division of national income between labor and capital flipped to 40%-60% in favor of capital.

    Now, a labor shortage (who knew???) is pushing up wages at half the inflation rate, and cheap labor conservatives like Doctor Dumbfuck are wringing their hands in anguish.

    They’re still mourning the passage of the 13th Amendment.

    “He didn’t really spend much time on the issue that I think really concerns the American people, which is the execution of that decision. What went wrong and how it is going to be fixed?” said Leon Panetta, a longtime adviser to Democratic presidents who served as defense secretary under President Barack Obama. “It just struck me that they were crossing their fingers and hoping chaos would not result. And it doesn’t work that way.”

    Panetta, who said he has been unsure what to tell the numerous contacts in Afghanistan calling him seeking a way out of the country, said, “right now it just does not look like we have our act together” and expressed surprise at the seeming lack of preparation.

    “It’s not the Joe Biden that I often saw in the National Security Council raising questions about the planning involved in any decision that the president had to face,” he said. “He would be among those that would say, ‘Have we looked at all the consequences? Have we looked at all the possible land mines that we might have to face in implementing that decision?’ He was good at that. I assume he must have asked those questions. But it’s clear that, for whatever reason, those plans or strategies or precautions were not put in place.”

    This was avoidable, but would have required a continuing U.S. military presence in Afghanistan. We maintain forces in South Korea and western Europe, and have done so continuously for 75 years. Sometimes that’s what you have to do. I’m not saying the stakes in Afghanistan were worth it. But this was avoidable if we had chosen to do it. We chose not to. Trump and Biden made the decision to pull out, but with polls showing 70% of Americans wanted out, it was really the public who made that decision. People like you.

    Afghanistan is going to remain in the news cycle for months. But it’s going to diminish in attention and importance. Starting with the departure of those 204 Afghan journos employed by the NYT, WSJ, and WaPo.

    You are observing a major global event through Tucker Carlson’s inflamed and narrowed pee hole. Elsewhere former conflict veterans are sharing their home movies of trying (and failing) to teach jumping jacks to the ANA, videos of ANA troops selling NVG to the Taliban, being caught buggering animals in the barracks, and warehouses filled with light and medium duty arms simply abandoned to the advancing insurrection. Any time the lying all suddenly stops all at once it is always an ugly and uncomfortable moment.

    But Biden hasn’t been the one doing all that lying for the past twenty years. This idea of a stable, reliable dependent state in that part of the world was always an idiotic pipe dream that was destined to ruin us. Now it is finally over. And with Vietnam before it, America is grateful. Keep watching FOX and refreshing the National Review and Red State to your heart’s content, Bob. You’ll miss the show. Same way you missed it three years ago when you “suddenly” and “unexpectedly” lost Congress. Same way you missed it last November when you “suddenly” and “unexpectedly” lost Arizona and Georgia.

    Just think, you and your ilk let the Afghan people down by not having your orange-tyrant put back as POTUS.

    It is you and your ilk that are to blame for the Afghan exit that went so poorly. So many promises made, so many deaths as a result of promises broken. Your tribe just lies and people die because of it.

    Hey Bob.

    Remember the blowjob impeachment.
    I wasn’t around here then. And maybe HA didn’t even exist yet.
    But I’ll bet you were just as excited.
    I’ll bet you were nearly frantic burning up the ol’ fax machine and leaving breathless “voicemails” about how Clinton and the Demoncrats were DOOOOMED. Remember how that turned out?

    Clinton approval jumped, Republican approval cratered, and Dems gained seats.

    There was plenty of media outrage then too. It was just unacceptable to beltway insiders that their carefully studied calculations of what kinds of events do what kind of political damage were just not being readily lapped up by the voters of America.

    There was a well understood formula. And America would not follow it the way David Brooks said they must. As is his well worn habit, Brooks even backtracked the following year and blamed Kenneth Starr (of course!). You’ll be there before the holidays. Can’t wait to see who you blame.

    But when you get to that place, just remember that nothing really is broken except you. There’s no conspiracy. No DERP STATE. No “global Zionists” working behind the scenes.
    You just don’t really get people.
    And let’s face it, you probably never have. It’s not your fault. You made a tough choice decades ago. You set aside normal socialization practices in favor of academic rigor and perhaps some focused athletic discipline. You probably couldn’t understand why the cheerleaders didn’t admire your GPA or swoon over your 80 mph fastball (85? Nice).

    So you also won’t get that the voters Biden and Democrats need to worry about are not in your camp. Like you, they haven’t really given a fuck about Afghanistan for more than ten years. But unlike you, they are not preternaturally poised to latch onto any weakness in the “other side”. Like those cheerleaders, they just aren’t on your side or really any side. And once the media hair pulling moves on to something else, they’ll decide that being gone from there is a good thing. And they’ll be grateful to the president who made it happen.

    Bob, that assumes that you understand the definition of “US personnel”.

    Or that anyone else does.

    I went to school with a guy whose father was “US personnel”. He was stripped naked and tossed overboard by pirates in the South China sea. He swam ashore and lived in a refugee camp in Thailand for about four years where they ate rats and snuck out at night to cut down trees with sharpened rocks for firewood. He finally made it to the US by way of Canada in the late 1970s, got a job, got married and started a family.

    Nobody “assisted” him either*.

    But a member of the FedSoc did call out my friend for taking up an admissions slot that “should go to a real American”.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Saying that he is furious with “the disgraceful way the Biden administration has abandoned our Afghan brothers and sisters”, Texas Senator Ted Cruz took to the floor of the Senate today to denounce President Biden and to sponsor new immigration legislation that will create a special U.S. residency program for millions of Afghans fleeing Taliban rule.

    “I rise today to introduce the Afghanistan Migration and Refugee Assistance Act. This act will provide permanent residency status and a pathway to citizenship for up to ten million Afghan people desperate to live free in a land of liberty and justice. It will appropriate $5 billion dollars toward their relocation assistance, education, housing assistance in U.S. communities, medical assistance, job training, and job placement in high paying U.S. employment sectors,” announced Cruz.

    The proposed measure enjoys the full backing of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, as well as co-sponsorship in the Senate by Senators Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, and Lindsey Graham, and co-sponsorship in the House by Representatives Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert.
