U.S. Embassy employee left behind in Afghanistan gets to America

EXCLUSIVE: The Afghan SIV hiding from the Taliban is now safe in Virginia. After a year of reporting on him, read the good news in my story only in #EmilyPosts emilypostnews.com/p/us-embassy-e…
It’s been one year since Pres. Biden knowingly abandoned the Afghans who worked for our military, CIA and State department to Taliban.

This SIV told me, “When Kabul fell — just imagine you’re a U.S. Embassy employee and the Taliban is now in power.”
This man in the US Embassy in Afghanistan got an award from Ambassador John Bass @StateDept. Then he was refused entry twice at the Kabul airport gate before Biden ordered withdrawal and left him to fend for himself against the Taliban as a known American employee. Image

“Personally, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if it was an active shooter, and I didn't engage. And to say I was afraid, or I was waiting for backup. I couldn’t fathom that.”

- @ZeekArkham on #UvaldePolice
“It should be more acceptable to go to 40 first responder funerals before 1 child’s funeral because that’s what WE signed up for when we took our oath.”

High power rifle is a loaded term and misinformation about the Highland Park mass shooting.

Read about this made-up term for a gun in #EmilyPosts here: emilypostnews.com/p/high-power-r…
There is no such thing as a “high power rifle.”

But when asked by a reporter what gun was used in the horrific mass murder in Highland Park, the sheriff’s spokesman answered, “Right now we’re saying it’s a high power rifle.” 

The liberal media reported this as fact.
Guns bought by Highland Park shooter, per sheriff spokesman :

1. KelTech sub 200 rifle chambered to fire pistol cartridges

2. Remington 700 rifle (didn’t give caliber)

3. Shotgun

4. Glock 43X handgun

NONE OF THESE ARE AR-15

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul
governor's whacky conceal carry gun law after Supreme Court ruling vote today.

Includes “Ammunition database”, businesses to put a gun sign in the window, “sensitive areas” everywhere

Read the details #EmilyPosts emilypostnews.com/p/new-york-unv…
The NY conceal gun carry law is based on Gov. Hochul’s assumption that permit holders are a danger to society.

She said, “Imagine someone you know talking to your girlfriend. You're not real happy about it and you have a gun and you have a temper, and that's what happens.” 2/
NY gun carry law is based on Gov. Huchul’s “presumption” that “private property owners” do not want guns “on their premises.”

This makes the whole state a gun-free zone unless there is a literal sign in the window that says “concealed carry weapons welcome here.” 3/

When I became the first woman in Washington, D.C. to get a concealed gun carry permit, I had to prove to the government that I had specific threats against my life.
Now, the Supreme Court says that is unconstitutional. Read my analysis of the NY ruling:
emilypostnews.com/p/supreme-cour…
The Supreme Court ruled quite simply:

"The exercise of other constitutional rights does not require individuals to demonstrate to government officers some special need. The Second Amendment right to carry arms in public for self defense is no different." 2/
This Supreme Court gun carry decision is a legacy of Pres. Donald Trump. With his new justices, the conservatives on the court finally had a majority for Second Amendment rights so they were able to take on one of the appeals courts cases and know they could overturn bad laws. 3/

DC's Gridiron dinner was COVID super spreader for vaccinated elite

Fauci and CDC Director attend party where vaccine passports failed to stop coronavirus outbreak

It’s a THING in D.C. for politicians to put out public statements or tweet when they get COVID and tell the public to get vaccinated. (In the Before Times, they only did this when they had cancer.)
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has COVID but didn’t attend Gridiron super spreader of vaccinated people. Will contact tracing connect her infection to it?

EXCLUSIVE: D.C. Mayor moves to fire unvaccinated firefighters by rejecting religious exemptions from vaccine mandate.
Read #EmilyPosts here: emilypostnews.com/p/dc-mayor-mov…
It makes no logical sense — much less health, science or medical— that DC @MayorBowser is firing the unvaccinated firefighters now - at the end of the pandemic.

These firefighter have been at work from the very beginning of COVID and lack of vaccination hasn’t hurt anyone.
If your house is burning down in D.C. or NYC or LA or San Francisco do you care if the responding firefighter is vaccinated?

But as the mayors keep firing these firefighters for the mandates, there will be fewer of them to show up when you call 911.

Alec Baldwin claims he can't be sued for 'Rust' shooting and actors are above gun safety rules

Plus he’s as much of a victim as Halyna Hutchins (who he shot and killed)

My deep dive of his new court filing: emilypostnews.com/p/alec-baldwin…

#EmilyPosts #AlecBaldwin #gunsafety
Alec Baldwin’s lawyer sent me the filing. In it, Baldwin’s team says “an actor cannot rule that a gun is safe. That is the responsibility of the people on the set.”

His stand is gun safety rules are only for the “people on the set” — ie those who are not rich and famous. 🧵2/
Alec Baldwin lawyer:

“Baldwin is an actor… He didn’t load the gun; he didn’t check the bullets in the gun; he didn’t purchase the bullets; he didn’t make the bullets and represent that they were dummies; he wasn’t in charge of firearm safety on the set...” 🧵3/

A hospital policy of “only vaccinated visitors enter the hospital or physician offices” means the unvaccinated can’t go there for medical care. But Methodist claimed it will not deny care for unvaccinated. Read my story #EmilyPosts 3/

The Right to Carry a Gun Finally Gets its Day in Supreme Court on Wednesday

I predict that tomorrow you will hear at least five Supreme Court justices asking questions in court that tip the public to their support for gun carry rights and overturning the lower court ruling .
I don’t believe Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito would have gone along with taking up the New York gun carry case if they didn’t believe they had the votes to finish the job started in Supreme Court ruling in Heller.

I Almost Shot My Cameraman

Alec Baldwin is at fault for killing a woman, not the armorer or the assistant director

I grabbed my range bag from the back of my car and walked toward my cameraman, Jason @FOXPhotog, who was sitting on a bench outside the shooting range. I smiled and remarked we were on a fun assignment that day for TV news.

Moments later, I accidentally pointed a loaded gun at @FOXPhotog's stomach and almost shot him.

So, I understand a little of what Alec Baldwin must feel for shooting his cinematographer.

A Bullet or a Blank? How Alec Baldwin Shot and Killed a Woman With a Gun --
New #EmilyPosts here: emilypostnews.com/p/a-bullet-or-…
The Hollywood version of the Alec Baldwin story is that the actor killed a woman with a prop gun and a blank and is not at fault.

The true story is that Baldwin shot two people with a real gun and did not follow safety rules.

The media version of the Alec Baldwin story is the crew made a mistake and gave the actor one live round of ammunition that killed two people.

The factual version is no one knows what was in the gun.

Gen. Colin Powell Lessons on Civility in Public Life and Politically Diverse Friendships - Some reflections in early grief. #ColinPowell #EmilyPosts emilypostnews.com/p/gen-colin-po…
Gen. Colin Powell always said about politics, “It’s just business.” He meant, it’s not personal.

It helps to make political issues “just business” because it takes out the emotional charge.

#ColinPowell #civility thread (2/)
The public knows Colin Powell could be mean and judgemental because of his hacked emails.

It was a shame his privacy was taken.

He was so careful in public life to moderate his speech and his writing. He didn’t inflame people with words.
