1/x Joe Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal has been vetting failure & a horrifying catastrophe.
2/x He has imported an acute HUMANITARIAN CRISIS into the U.S.
Young girls are being subject to forced child marriages and sexual abuse by "husbands" using the withdrawal to exploit them. apnews.com/article/middle…
3/x It is also a SECURITY CRISIS by Joe Biden: 10,000 Afghans needed more security screening after and 100 people flagged for terrorism/ Taliban ties. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…
4/x It's not just terrorism ties. According to a recent report, a convicted rapist who was deported was on an Afghan evacuation flight and reached America! washingtontimes.com/news/2021/aug/…
5/x It is also a HEALTH CRISIS. Instead of holding evacuees in 3rd countries and screening for COVID, Afghan refugees are not tested for COVID before arriving in the US.
For an admin that claims to care so much about Delta, this makes no sense. freebeacon.com/national-secur…
6/x Americans are STILL stranded in Afghanistan. Meanwhile Joe Biden and Biden-Harris officials clearly had no idea who they put on flights to America.
Exactly the wrong approach! Biden needed to and needs to evacuate ALL the Americans who want to leave Afghanistan NOW!

.@steve_vladeck At the end of the day, the courts might agree with you, but here’s a credible argument by serious thinkers that Big Tech—by directly implementing govt policy, at the express behest of govt decision-makers—have become de facto state actors:
2/x @steve_vladeck you can do better than that. You’re a respected law prof. But so’s Rubenfeld.
You might be right that Norwood (1973) and Hanson (1956) and Skinner (1989) and Bantam Books (1963) may be found not to apply—but you can’t credibly pretend they don’t exist.
3/x When a monopoly becomes the enforcement arm of govt censorship, it is very much state action.
2/x Frederick Douglass loved America. He rightly denounced the grotesque evil of slavery, which in 1852 was tragically still legal. But, thanks to the heroic leadership of Douglass & other abolitionists—and a bloody Civil War—we ended that abomination.
3/x Douglass closed, “I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from ‘the Declaration of Independence,’ the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age.”
On this Fourth of July, we reflect on the incredible spirit of American patriots. Whether it’s standing up to Red Coats or Nazis—or even space aliens 👽 👽 —Americans never surrender, never stop fighting for freedom.
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥🇺🇸
Another classic: Patton’s 3rd Army address. If you haven’t watched George C. Scott’s rendition, WATCH.
I used to watch this video every time the night before I had a Supreme Court argument.
Happy Fourth!! 🇺🇸
Both Patton’s speech & Pullman’s are modeled after Shakespeare’s St. Crispin’s Day speech.
4) give violent felons stimulus $$ and make them legal voters; and
…(5) hide!
For all the liberal commentators who are screaming “lies, lies, lies!” well, facts matter. You’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. And these (somewhat joking) positions reflect ACTUAL POLICY POSITIONS taken by the Biden Admin.
1) Last year, Anderson Cooper said, “So, to gun owners out there who say, 'Well, a Biden administration means they’re going to come for my guns.’” Biden replied, Bingo."
