Worth remembering what was revealed in the Afghanistan Papers about how our leaders REALLY thought things were going in Afghanistan.

"We didn’t have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking.” -General Douglas Lute, White House’s Afghan war czar under Bush and Obama About Obama's surge: "It was impossible to create good metrics. We tried using troop numbers trained, violence levels, control of territory and none of it painted an accurate picture. The metrics were always manipulated for the duration of the war.” Senior NSC official

So this is hilarious/interesting. Got approached by a Page 6 reporter yesterday. Apparently Team Biden is shopping a big SCOOP on me that I worked with them back when Joe was thinking of running in 2015, something that is such a big secret I wrote about it extensively in my book! Won’t be a surprise to u I wanted to avoid an HRC nomination. I liked Biden personally and still do! I talked with his staff until early in the 2020 campaign when I told them I wouldn’t be with Biden this time around. They want you to think that my critique of Biden is because..

So I have some sort of weird personal/public news. The other day on his show, Rush Limbaugh went on at length about how I posed nude when I was 14 or 15 (I did not.) I've been thinking for a few days about how to deal with this. Partly I didn't really want to call more attention. Maybe just ignore it and move on. But the reality is, his show has millions of listeners and the transcript is readily available online. I didn't want this slut-shaming smear just hanging out there. I'm also lucky enough to have a platform to set the record straight.
