Do you mean take responsibility like this?

Secretary of Antony Blinken acknowledged in Senate testimony on Tuesday that the Biden administration failed to anticipate Afghanistan collapsing as quickly as it did.


“That said, we — the intelligence community did not see that the country-wide collapse of all meaningful resistance would be likely to occur in a matter of days,” he added, before invoking Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley. “Nothing that he or I or we saw suggested this government and security forces would collapse in a matter of 11 days. You are right that I think we need to look back at all of this, because to your point, we collectively over 20 years invested extraordinary amounts in those security forces and in that government.”

The biden train wreck continues...
Biden approval ratings keep slipping in wake of Afghanistan exit, COVID surge: poll
Biden's poll numbers remain underwater in surveys following turbulent Afghanistan withdrawal, delta variant-fueled COVID spike


President Biden’s standing among Americans continues to slide, according to new national poll released on Tuesday.

Facing a barrage of bipartisan criticism for a month over his handling of the turbulent U.S. withdrawal and evacuation from Afghanistan, and with an ongoing surge in new COVID cases due to the spread across the country this summer of the highly infectious delta variant, the president’s approval rating stands at 42% and his disapproval at 50% in a Quinnipiac University survey conducted Sept. 10-13.

That’s a significant drop from Quinnipiac’s previous national survey in early August, when the president stood at 46% approval 43% disapproval. And it’s the first time Biden’s job approval rating has dropped into negative territory in Quinnipiac polling since the start of his presidency in January.


The president’s approval rating hovered in the low to mid 50s during his first six months in the White House. But Biden’s numbers started sliding last month, as the crisis in Afghanistan dominated media coverage and mask mandates started returning in certain spots across the country as coronavirus cases rose.

The president stands at 45%-50% approval/disapproval in an average of the latest surveys compiled by RealClearPolitics, and at 46%-49% in a compilation by the polling and analysis website FiveThirtyEight.

"If there ever was a honeymoon for President Biden, it is clearly over. This is, with few exceptions, a poll full of troubling negatives… from overall job approval, to foreign policy, to the economy," Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy highlighted.


Nearly seven in ten questioned in the poll said it was the right thing to do to end the war in Afghanistan, and a majority (54%-41%) said they approve of Biden’s decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from the war torn Central Asian nation – ending America’s longest war. But by a 65%-31% margin, Americans said they disapprove of how the president handled the rocky withdrawal and evacuation of U.S. personnel and Afghan allies.

Biden has been pilloried for his handling of the hastily organized evacuation efforts in Afghanistan. While the president has repeatedly declared the withdrawal and evacuation a success – the U.S. airlifted roughly 120,000 people, including more than 5,500 Americans, after the fall of Kabul to repressive Taliban forces in early August through the end of last month - he’s been accused by Republicans and some Democrats for underestimating the Taliban’s lightning fast takeover of the country and overestimating the strength of the now-collapsed, U.S.-backed Afghan government and military.

The president’s approval on handling foreign policy now stands at 34%-59%, and his handling of his duties as Commander in Chief of the U.S. military is also underwater, at 40%-55%.



Biden showcased his foreign policy prowess and his competence in running an administration as he challenged former President Trump in the 2020 election. And while the rocky exit from Afghanistan is a major factor in the president’s approval rating plunge, it’s not the only issue that's feeding the fall.

One of the issues that vaulted Biden to the presidency was the coronavirus, the worst pandemic to sweep the globe in a century. Biden vowed to do what Trump seemingly couldn’t do – get COVID cases under control, bring back a sense of normalcy to Americans and boost an economy that was severely battered by the pandemic.

But the late-summer COVID surge due to the Delta variant is another blow to the president. Biden’s approval on handling the COVID crisis now stands at 48%, with disapproval at 49%. Biden’s approval on the issue in Quinnipiac polling stood at 65%-30% in May and 53%-40% at the beginning of last month.

 

This pandemic, vaccinated, not vaccinated, death count, variations and stains, all of it, have only one source, where the blame, responsibility, accountability, belong. The world as a whole should be beating down every door, gate, roadblock standing in the way of that responsibility and accountability. All over the planet people are protesting against their governments, each other, and not once do you hear what the chinese are offering, in accepting their responsibility in unleashing this, manmade sickness. Nothing in terms of accountability. Just the opposite, dening access, denying knowledge, and not one " leader" has the balls to demand responsibility. Not one " leader" making an attempt to get support from other nations to get access, truth, accountability, instead these "leaders" are content with letting people being subject to their own will and beliefs.
If this is not a power grabbing effort by governments, why is no one holding the responsible acountible? From social unrest, to massive deaths, to politics around the world, there is very little doubt where it came from.

 

You obviously don't understand the chinese very well. Those are the boundaries they always work within. I mean melamine in baby food powder? Uyghurs ate uncooked bats?
That says it all about the chinese mentality.

Afghanistan women's rights protester says Taliban violence won't stop future demonstrations
Activist says President Biden has 'moral duty' to correct Afghanistan mistakes



A human rights activist who helped organize a women’s rights protest in Kabul just days after the city fell to the Taliban told Fox News she and other Afghans will continue to rally against the extremist group despite violence against demonstrators.

"It might be quite challenging for everybody to go out and to still resist and do demonstrations, but that will not stop people," the activist said. "That will not stop women."

The woman, whose identity Fox News is not disclosing to protect her from potential retribution by the Taliban, said they will continue protesting and that the resistance inside Afghanistan "will not keep silent."

"We still will try to do demonstrations, but more thoughtfully and more carefully," she said.


The woman told Fox News she organized the protest in front of a Taliban checkpoint in Kabul. She said the Taliban abducted one of the organizers afterward.

"One of our friends who attended one of the demonstrations in Kabul … he was taken to the Kabul University where he was tortured," she told Fox News. "He was whipped very badly."

The activist said the Taliban watched the protesters. She said the demonstrators ignored them because they don’t recognize the Taliban as Afghanistan's legitimate government.

"They were standing there, looking at us," the Afghan told Fox News. "But we didn’t call on them, because we don’t recognize them."

According to the activist, life for women under the Taliban in the weeks since they regained control of the country has meant less freedom. She also said she doesn’t believe the Taliban's claim that they will change their behavior toward women and girls.

"Taliban doesn’t accept change," she told Fox News. "They will not change, and they have not changed. What they say and what they do is completely two different things."

"We are not allowed to go to work," the woman said. "My colleagues went to start their work in their offices, and they were [told], ‘You are not allowed. Go back.’"

The woman told Fox News that "after withdrawal of U.S. security forces from Afghanistan and the Taliban taking over control of Afghanistan, we lost everything."

"We lost our country, our country collapsed. We lost our hope," she continued.

She blamed the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan on President Biden and other world leaders.

"The people will never forget this," the activist told Fox News. "The history will never forget this."

"And that’s because of the wrong decisions [Biden] and the world leaders made," she continued. "You have a moral duty to correct your mistakes."

 

Biden Makes International Headlines for Embarrassing Reason After Awkward Moment With Aussie PM




Earlier today, Australians got a taste of what we here in America are routinely subjected to on a near-daily basis after a cringeworthy moment between President Joe Biden and Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison was broadcast on a White House live feed as well as some Aussie and United Kingdom news outlets.


Biden held a virtual meeting with Morrison and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson where a “new enhanced trilateral security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States [AUKUS]” was announced.

Towards the closing of the meeting, Biden turned towards the screen that featured Johnson and thanked him by name for his and his country’s continued close alliance and strategic partnerships with the United States.

But it’s when Biden turned to Morrison to thank him as well that things got more than a bit awkward, to say the least. Instead of referring to Morrison by name, which is standard operating procedure during these things, a symbol of respect, Biden appeared to forget the Aussie PM’s name.

“Thank you, Boris. And I want to thank that fella down under. Thank you very much, pal. Appreciate it, Mr. Prime Minister,” Biden said to Morrison, smiling as he turned back to face the camera to finish the remainder of his prepared remarks.

Watch: https://twitter.com/newsmax/status/...n-after-awkward-moment-with-aussie-pm-n443682

If news outlets here in the U.S. (outside of maybe Fox News and the New York Post) have reported on this embarrassing moment, I haven’t seen it. Frankly, it would surprise me if they did, considering most of the time they’re in Protect the Precious mode. But most major Australian and UK media outlets not only reported on it, but they made the moment the focal point of their write-ups and tweets:

Politico EU’s headline reads “‘That fellow from Down Under’ — Aussies cringe as Biden appears to forget PM’s name.”

In fairness, I should point out that about 10-15 seconds later Biden mentioned both Johnson and Morrison by name and title, but I suspect the teleprompter might have had a little something to do with that.

While Biden forgetting the name of a country’s leader as the world was watching was no laughing matter, what was rather humorous were some of the reactions I saw from random Aussies on Twitter, many of who joked that Biden at the very least should have used “mate” instead of “pal” to address Morrison while others quipped about how they wished they could forget their Prime Minister so easily, considering the draconian state of things in the land Down Under as we speak.

 

[QUOTE - CS natureboy] considering the draconian state of things in the land Down Under as we speak [/QUOTE]

This is hilarious......
The right-wing talking heads of America are slagging on a country that has a right-wing federal government.

And the "new world order" comment was by a member of the right-wing state government.

But knock yourselves out.....we don't give a shit.

Biden’s Bummer Summer: August Industrial Output Gains Slow to 0.4%


15 Sep 2021

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. industrial production slowed to a 0.4 percent gain in August as shutdowns of petroleum refineries and petrochemical plants caused by Hurricane Ida curbed manufacturing activity.

Plant closures long the Gulf Coast as well as lost oil production during last month’s hurricane shaved 0.3 percentage points from output, the Federal Reserve reported Wednesday. Industrial output had risen a revised 0.8 percent in July.

Industrial production covers manufacturing, utilities and mining. For just manufacturing, factory output slowed to a tiny 0.2 percent gain, reflecting the hurricane impact and continuing supply chain problems. Factory output had risen a much stronger 1.6 percent in July.

Manufacturing has been hobbled this year due to snarled supply chains, particularly at auto plants where semiconductors needed for new cars have been in short supply.

Economists said problems, including labor shortages due to the resurgence of COVID-19 cases at home and abroad continue to depress manufacturing activity.

Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said that a rising infection rates in Asia appeared to be a key reason that Ford and General Motors were forced to announce expanded plant shutdowns in September amid a worsening semiconductor shortage.

Ford, which has lost money in India for a decade, said this month that it was pulling the plug on production for good in the country.

“The industrial recovery is losing steam and with the delta variant causing disruption to global supply chains and Hurricane Ida weighing on oil production, a further slowdown looks likely in September,” Hunter said.

For August, output in auto plants was up a scant 0.1 percent after a much stronger 9.5 percent gain in July.

Output at the nation’s utilities rose 3.3 percent in August due to unseasonably hot weather while output in mining was down 0.6 percent, reflecting a drop in crude oil extraction in the Gulf of Mexico due to Ida, which hit Louisiana on Aug. 29.

The nation’s factories, mines and utilities operated at 76.4 percent of capacity in August, up slightly from 76.2 percent in July.

With the 0.4 percent gain in industrial production in August, output is 5.9 percent higher than it was in August 2020 and 0.3 percent above its pre-pandemic level in February 2020

 

Democrats Reject Plan to Mandate Coronavirus Vaccines for Immigrants




House Democrats rejected a plan this week that would have required immigrants to the United States to take one of three available Chinese coronavirus vaccines despite mandates on American citizens from President Joe Biden’s administration.

Last week, Biden ordered that the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) develop a rule requiring all private companies with 100 or more employees to mandate the vaccine or be subjected to weekly coronavirus tests.

Biden also ordered the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to require vaccines for all health care workers who work at facilities receiving federal Medicare or Medicaid funding.

As Breitbart News reported, Biden has seemingly not imposed any such vaccine requirements on border crossers, illegal aliens, legal immigrants, or Afghan refugees who are arriving in the U.S.

During a hearing for the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) proposed an amendment that would require the vaccine for foreign nationals in the U.S. who are seeking to adjust their immigration status to remain in the U.S.

Every Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee opposed the vaccine mandate for immigrants while every Republican supported the measure.

Those Democrats include:

Reps. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Madeleine Dean (D-PA), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Steve Cohen (D-TN), Hank Johnson (D-GA), Theodore Deutch (D-FL), Karen Bass (D-CA), Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), David Cicilline (D-RI), Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Ted Lieu (D-CA), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Val Demings (D-FL), Luis Correa (D-CA), Mary Scanlon (D-PA), Sylvia Garcia (D-TX), Joe Neguse (D-CO), Lucy McBath (D-GA), Greg Stanton (D-AZ), Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Mondaire Jones (D-NY), Deborah Ross (D-NC), Cori Bush (D-MO)

“The American people are more than aware that President Biden is mandating vaccines for Americans while exempting those illegally flooding our borders and being released into our communities without notice,” Issa said. “And they want the hypocrisy to end.”

The lack of a vaccine requirement specifically for Afghans arriving as part of Biden’s massive resettlement operation comes as outbreaks of the coronavirus and measles have occurred at various U.S. military bases where refugees are temporarily staying.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has yet to respond to an inquiry by Breitbart News asking for clarification on the agency’s vaccine policy for arriving Afghans.

Also this week, Democrats similarly rejected amendments that would have stripped their massive amnesty for illegal aliens plan out of the budget reconciliation. Democrats even went as far as to open the amnesty to illegal aliens who are registered sex offenders, convicted drunk drivers, and gang members.
