Taliban moving up to the top health threat by Argus Hamilton
HOLLYWOOD--God Bless America, and how's everybody?
NBC News reported that Taliban units sealed off the Kabul Airport as Taliban fighters seized a huge cache of U.S. weaponry left behind. It appears that the Taliban has replaced Covid as America's top health threat. It's only a matter of time before Dr. Fauci is telling us to Wear the Vest.
Former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani, who fled the capital city of Kabul like a coward as the Taliban approached last week, finally surfaced Tuesday in the United Arab Emirates. He was spotted in an Uber going from the airport to a massive high rise luxury residence. He was driving.
Taliban Abdul Ghani Baradar emerged as the new head of Afghanistan. He's cheered on the streets by followers who call Baradar the George Washington of Afghanistan for overthrowing the yoke of colonial rule. To cheer up Biden, the Queen just offered to name him the Duke of Yorktown.
Afghanistan's chaotic collapse shocked the world Monday when the Taliban stormed into the capital city of Kabul. It incited a terrified mob of Afghans, desperate to get out, to chase after departing U.S. transport planes. Joe Biden demanded that whoever is president take care of this mess.
The Pentagon reacted with surprise Monday over how quickly Taliban forces gained the upper hand in Afghanistan and the twenty-year war is over. The Taliban entered Kabul Sunday and declared victory. Democrats are insisting this would have never happened if Joe Biden were still alive.
President Biden told ABC the chaotic evacuation of Kabul and its consequences were expected and priced into his plans. There are between ten and forty thousand Americans still stranded in Afghanistan. No one knows the exact number, because Stacey Abrams collated the voter registrations.
President Biden asked Americans to get a third shot within eight months of the last shot. That is instructive. We learn from the third-vaccine-shot order that the first generation of injected microchips is only good for about eight months and then the battery wears out and stops broadcasting.
The White House reported it kept Joe Biden informed on the fall of Kabul during his vacation with updates from his staff and cabinet. Biden assembled the most racially and ethnically diverse cabinet and White House staff in U.S. history. They may be incompetent, but you can't have everything.
Taliban leaders assured Afghan women Tuesday they will be safe under Sharia Law. Afghan women voiced loud concerns they'll be locked in their homes and forced to cover their faces. I've voiced the exact same concerns for eighteen months, and everyone calls me a lunatic and anti-science.
Taliban chiefs entering the capital vowed to run a civilized country under Islamic law. It won't be long before they are promoting the Kabul Comedy Festival, but you won't want to sit on the front row. It'll be the only stand-up comedy show where the winner is the comic who bombs the worst.
German Chancellor heir-apparent Armin Laschet called the defeat of Afghanistan under U.S. watch the worst debacle in NATO history. He could be just jealous. Germany lost twice to the U.S., Britain and Russia and the Taliban is now three wins with no losses against the same three opponents.
President Biden was hit by approval ratings that slipped below fifty percent Tuesday, reflecting his poor handling of the Afghan crisis. Often times he just stands there. Joe Biden has the kind of personality that makes audiences want to file past him and say to each other how peaceful he looks.
President Biden spoke to the nation Thursday to reassert control of a world gone haywire. On top of high gasoline prices, inflation and the drug epidemic, the fall of a friendly Muslim regime could result in a hostage crisis. It never occurred to me till now that Jimmy Carter could be a warlock.
