CHAOS WITH WEAK MEN IN CHARGE: Taliban Enters Afghan Presidential Palace, Declares Victory as Afghan President Flees
CHAOS WITH WEAK MEN IN CHARGE
(TheSkimm) The US has been in Afghanistan since after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Last year, OUR REAL President Trump negotiated with the Taliban to withdraw all US troops by May. The expectation being the Taliban wouldn't let terror groups in the country. Sleepy Biden said 'we need more time' to leave by the end of August. But since our forces began withdrawing in May, the supposed terror group has been sweeping the country, toppling at least 25 provincial capitals. That includes Kandahar (their second-largest city). There've been reports the group paid off Afghan officials to abandon their posts. Thousands fleeing the country have went to the capital, Kabul – thinking it’s a safe place with the western presence and embassies. BUT NOPE!
Yesterday, Taliban fighters entered the city and took over the presidential palace. And freed thousands of prisoners – including former al-Qaeda fighters. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani reportedly fled to Tajikistan. Traffic was at a standstill. Chaotic scenes erupted at the airport after reports of gunfire. Choppers helped evacuate US Embassy staff to the airport that the State Dept says is "secured by the US military." The Pentagon said it's sending 1,000 more troops (6,000 total) to help. And there are reports the Biden admin's limiting the number of evacuation flights for Afghan allies to prioritize Americans (over foreign workers who help ours).
The Taliban was expected to gain ground after the US withdrawal. But the speed of the Taliban's advance – and the US's chaotic exit – has left people shaken. Republicans compared it to the fall of Saigon during the Vietnam War. Afghanistan's ambassador to the US called it "an abandonment." Secretary of State Antony Blinken admitted the Taliban's takeover happened "more quickly than we anticipated." HA!
TOLD YOU BIDEN’S A JOKE!
Phonies complain the Taliban restricts rights and freedoms (especially women's — but I thought women were powerful!). The Taliban is saying "the war is over."
Twenty years ago, the Taliban ruled Afghanistan. Soon, it's expected to declare the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. After tens of thousands of lives lost and an estimated $2 trillion, America's longest war has brought the country back to square one.
Taliban Enters Presidential Palace, Declares Victory as Afghan President Flees
NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL AN INSURRECTION! (The Epoch Times) Afghanistan’s president, Ashraf Ghani, on Sunday fled the country as the Taliban terrorist group surrounded the capital, Kabul, according to a senior official, while the Taliban entered the Afghan presidential palace.
Photos circulating online show members of the Taliban, holding AK-47-looking rifles, inside the palace. Speaking to Al Jazeera TV during a live stream, a member of the group who was inside the presidential palace said the Taliban is planning to declare Afghanistan the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” in the near future.
“We have reached a victory that we couldn’t imagine,” said Mullah Baradar, a co-founder of the Taliban, in a video to supporters… “now it’s about how we serve and secure our people, and ensure their good life to best of ability.”
Abdullah Abdullah, the head of the High Council for National Reconciliation, confirmed on social media that Ghani fled the country, about a day after Ghani claimed he’d be able to mount a defense of Kabul, a city of 6 million (in comparison, City of L.A. was close to 4M, Chicago less than 3M, NYC under 9M).
“The former president of Afghanistan left Afghanistan, leaving the country in this difficult situation,” Abdullah reportedly said in a video (in a foreign language). “God should hold him accountable.” PSH.
Former President Ghani stated in a foreign language: “I came across a hard choice; I should stand to face the armed Taliban who wanted to enter the palace or leave the dear country that I dedicated my life to protecting … the past 20 years.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken told media outlets on Sunday that the Taliban should not attack U.S. forces or staff and said it would “be met with a very strong, decisive response.”

Death Toll From Haiti Earthquake Soars to 1,297 as Tropical Storm Grace Approaches
(The Epoch Times) The previous figure was 724 from Haiti's office of civil protection, and it’s expected to go up even more. Saturday’s magnitude 7.2 earthquake in Haiti (on the western side of the same island with the Dominican Republic, between Cuba and Puerto Rico) destroyed thousands of homes and buildings, injured at least 5,700 people, and displaced thousands more. Hospitals, schools, offices, and churches were also destroyed in the quake.
The race to find survivors comes as Tropical Depression Grace is expected to reach the Caribbean nation on Monday night. The U.S. National Hurricane Center demoted the tropical storm to a depression on Sunday, but forecasters warned that regardless, Grace still poses risks of heavy rain, flooding, and landslides to the island.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the quake struck about 5 miles from the town of Petit Trou de Nippes, which is 93 miles west of the capital Port-au-Prince, at a depth of 6 miles, at 8:29 a.m. on Saturday.
A regional tsunami wave warning was issued, according to the U.S. Tsunami Warning System, and aftershocks continued to jolt the area on Sunday.
55 rescue teams. Sleepy Joe Biden named USAID (AID — Agency for International Development) Administrator Samantha Power (AN EVIL WOMAN, OBAMA’S UN AMBASSADOR, SICK COMMIE FEMALE) to oversee the U.S effort to help Haiti.
BACKGROUND
Hospitals are overwhelmed as Haiti has been struggling with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic and lacking the resources to deal with it. The country of 11 million people received its first batch of U.S.-donated COVID-19 vaccines only last month via a United Nations program for low-income countries.
The powerful quake also struck just over a month after the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, which sparked political turmoil in the country.
His widow, Martine Moïse, who was seriously wounded in the attack, posted a message on Twitter on Sunday calling for unity among Haitians: “Let’s put our shoulders together to bring solidarity.”
“Courage. I am always by your side,” she wrote.
DHS Issues New Terrorism Threat Alert Ahead of 9/11 Anniversary
(The Epoch Times) The Department of SO-CALLED Homeland Security (DHS) on Fri, Aug. 13 issued a new national terrorism bulletin, warning of a “heightened threat environment” across the United States as the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks approaches.
“diverse and challenging” threats, including “grievance-based violence,” foreign terrorists etc.
The bulletin warns:
“Foreign and domestic threat actors, to include foreign intelligence services, international terrorist groups and domestic violent extremists (DVE), continue to introduce, amplify, and disseminate narratives online that promote violence,” the DHS said (IMPLYING THEY WANT MORE CENSORSHIP BY CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT SOCIAL MEDIA, IN BED WITH THE CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT GOVT AND BUSINESSES), noting that potential targets include elected officials, political representatives, government facilities [OH YOU MEAN LIKE POLICE PRECINCTS BY BLM-ANTIFA?], law enforcement, religious communities, and “perceived ideologically-opposed individuals.”
“There are also continued, non-specific calls for violence on multiple online platforms associated with DVE ideologies or conspiracy theories on perceived election fraud and alleged reinstatement, and responses to anticipated restrictions relating to the increasing COVID cases,” it added. SEE? THEY’RE GOING AFTER YOU! THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH. THESE FEMALES BELIEVE IN THE CLAMPDOWN.
