Blinken to Wallace: "We’re in direct contact with Americans and others to help guide them to the airport, right place, right time, to get in more safely and effectively."
Blinken to Wallace about Biden's lie that al-Qaeda is "gone" from Afghanistan: "Are there al-Qaeda members & remnants in Afghanistan? Yes. But what the President was referring to was its capacity to do what it did on 9/11. And that capacity has been very successfully diminished."
Wallace: "Mr. Secretary, does the President not know what’s going on?"

Blinken: "This is an incredibly emotional time for many of us, & including allies & partners who have been shoulder-to-shoulder with us in Afghanistan for 20 yrs at high cost to themselves as well as to us."
Wallace: "How does chaos go from highly unlikely to inevitable...?...What does that say about the competence of the President & all of you...?"

Blinken: "There’s gonna be plenty of time to look back, to figure out who was saying what when, what should've happened differently..."
Blinken to Wallace on the dissent cable warning of a possible rapid Taliban takeover: "I read the cable almost immediately. I responded to the cable almost immediately. And we took to heart a number of recommendations that were made in the cable. I can’t go into too much detail."

Happy eight-year anniversary of Jake Sullivan assisting Hillary Clinton in pushing the bullshit Alfa Bank Trump-Russia collusion claims as a last-ditch effort to generate an October Surprise. Sullivan went on to be the Biden-Harris Admin’s disastrous national security adviser.

Amazing. Loretta Lynch — the Obama AG whom Bill Clinton tried to secretly meet with in the middle of a DOJ investigation into Hillary — is now working for China’s largest drone company.

Everyone can see Lynch’s court filing on behalf of CCP’s DJI here:

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… x.com/james_t_quinn/…
DJI and Chinese drone dominance in the United States is a serious problem — one that some policymakers & lawmakers have unsuccessfully tried to solve for years. And now you have a former Obama attorney general throwing her support behind China in its fight against the Pentagon…
It’s long been my view that leaders who hold important positions of trust in the federal government — especially in law enforcement & the national security arena — should be banned by law from doing future work for foreign foes (like China) as part of their agreement to serve.

In his new book, discredited dossier author Chris Steele is still trying to push the baseless & debunked claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a Russian scheme. Nowhere does he admit the laptop was real & that Russia had nothing to do with it. The man is a total fraud. Image
Image
Image
Image
Interesting that, among the eight folks Steele praises for “excellent investigative work” & who he says he draws upon in his book, two were directly involved in the bullshit Hunter Biden laptop letter— Sipher as a signer & Bertrand as author of the Politico article publishing it. Image
Steele claims “private individuals” funded “dozens of detailed reports” about alleged Russian influence efforts to help Trump in 2020, with Steele claiming he sent the reports to “well-connected” people in the U.S., & he “presumes” the reports made it to the U.S. intel community. Image

Puck News says that, after Dokoupil unforgivably asked Coates a few tough questions, dozens of CBS employees “took issue with Dokoupil’s treatment of Coates, as well as what they perceived as his history of editorializing on the Israel-Palestine conflict.”
puck.news/the-tony-ta-ne…
“The Race & Culture unit… determined that while Dokoupil’s questions & intentions were acceptable, his tone was not… The Standards & Practices division… determined that Dokoupil had not followed the preproduction process where questions are run through Race & Culture.” Image

“…an Instagram post by Grant portraying GOP Sen. Tim Scott as Uncle Tom surfaced on Twitter…”

@DylanByers knows quite well that the Instagram post didn’t just passively surface on Twitter, but that I searched Grant’s Instagram & quote tweeted Byers’s tweet with what I found. Image

The interview was fine. Frankly, they did not challenge Ta-Nehisi Coates nearly enough over his glaring omissions & ridiculous framing. But Coates is deemed untouchable, so even the lightest pushback pointing out his obvious biases & questionable motivations causes a meltdown.
I knew the new book by Ta-Nehisi Coates was deeply flawed & biased against Israel (CBS had a meltdown because one of its anchors had the temerity to ask Coates about it) but I didn’t realize the book *doesn’t even mention* Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, etc. LOL

“Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer dubbed ‘Merchant of Death,’ walked out of a U.S. jail in a trade w/ Moscow for U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner. Now he is back in business, trying to broker the sale of small arms to Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis.”

wsj.com/world/russia/p…Image
Image
Image
Image
Jake Sullivan defended the release of Bout in 2022 by downplaying the threat he posed, saying “we can manage those challenges” & quipping “there is no shortage of arms traffickers & mercenaries in Russia.” Bout is now selling weapons to the same Houthis attacking American ships. Image
Image
Also, when the Biden-Harris Admin released the “Merchant of Death” Viktor Bout, Jake Sullivan claimed that Bout was “not listed as a Specially Designated National.” In fact, at the time & **to this day**, Bout is listed as an SDN.
