White House dealing with Covid, Afghanistan, and hurricane by Argus Hamilton

HOLLYWOOD--God Bless America, and how's everybody?

The White House over the weekend had to deal with Covid, the debacle in Afghanistan and the hurricane smashing the nation's mid-section. So we're contagious, humiliated before the world and now we're soaking wet. Has anyone tried unplugging the United States, then plugging it back in?

Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana Sunday carrying Category Four winds of one hundred fifty miles per hour. It was entertaining to watch. A TV reporter asked a lady on the street in St. Bernard Parish if people were taking refuge in churches, and she replied she had no idea, she eats at Popeye's.

Hurricane Ida struck New Orleans with the same power as Hurricane Katrina, the aftermath of which painted George W. Bush as a moron. But who are the morons now? George W. got us into an unwinnable war in Afghanistan and we're are arguing whether it's Trump's or Biden's fault.

President Biden was ripped by crtics for allowing the State Department to direct the Afghan pullout not the Pentagon. What a mess. Any mother who's ever gotten her family dressed, out the door and to church on time could've organized the evacuation a lot better than the State Department.

The White House was swarmed with questions Friday asking why President Biden decided to pull troops out of Kabul before evacuating our military equipment and civilians. Comedians are in total agreement. It's the most-botched withdrawal since Bill Clinton pulled out of Internistan in 1998.

President Biden was rocked by polls showing his job approval rating has plummeted due to his handling of the chaotic debacle in Afghanistan. Just how angry are Californians at Joe Biden? Well, he's coming here to campaign for Governor Newsom, and the state just released Sirhan Sirhan.

Robert F. Kennedy killer Sirhan Sirhan could soon be set free by the California Parole Board next month after serving fifty-three years in prison for the 1968 assassination. The parole came through just in time for the assassin. He was just months away from getting the electric rocking chair.

Sirhan Sirhan's bid for parole and for release was joined by two members of Bobby Kennedy's family. In addition, his lawyer really did his homework. In his argument before the parole board, he cited the case of the People versus O.J. Simpson, which established that murder is legal in California.

The Pentagon reports a U.S. drone killed an ISISK planner Friday. I'm wondering if we killed him with one of our drones or the Taliban killed him with one of our drones. Either way, that's life in the big time, one day you're all over the newspapers, the next day you're all over the pavement.

The New York Post said the Taliban is intent on driving all Westerners out of Afghanistan and transforming the country into a fundamentalist Islamist state. Yesterday, I looked up the number online and called the Suicide Hotline in Kabul. They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

GOP Congressman Jeff Duncan filed impeachment charges against Biden over Afghanistan Friday. Joe's job is safe. Trump just realized he could've saved four years of investigations, daily crucifixion in the media and two impeachments, if he'd just named Kamala Harris his vice president.

The Daily Mail reports Afghan refugees were infiltrated by Al-Qaeda as a way of getting into the U.S. and Britain. Last night I received an email asking me if I'd be willing to allow an Afghan refugee to live in my spare room. There is a greater chance of Oscar Pistorius getting athlete's foot.
