WHY DEMS ARE STRUGGLING WITH MINORITY MALE VOTERS The big headline is that the California recall failed. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom gets to keep his job. He handily fought off the Republican challenge. But there is a worrisome detail in the data, one that keeps showing up, one that Democrats would do well to deal with: Black and Latino men are not hewing as close to the party line as Black and Latina women. There are, of course, issues with exit polls, and results often change as more votes are counted. But that said, the California exit polls do seem to reflect what polls have shown for some time now. In CNN’s exit poll, nearly half of the Hispanic men surveyed and nearly a quarter of the Black men voted to support the recall. The largest difference between men and women of any racial group was between Black men and Black women.

Donald Trump Jr. cries Biden has ‘blood’ of his ‘red state enemies’ on his hands as HHS moves to avoid COVID drug shortage Donald Trump, Jr. is falsely claiming President Joe Biden is responsible for the impending deaths of Americans sick with COVID-19 after the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services bought an additional 1.4 million doses of Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatments. After discovering that 70% of all monoclonal antibody treatment doses were being ordered by just seven states, HHS announced it is taking over distribution of the life-saving drug. Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana – states that have some of the highest per-capita cases of COVID-19 and some of the lowest vaccination rates, have been limiting the supply of monoclonal antibody treatments to the rest of the nation, CNN reports. "Given this reality, we must work to ensure our supply of these life-saving therapies remains available for all states and territories, not just some," an HHS spokesperson said. "HHS will determine the amount of product each state and territory receives on a weekly basis. State and territorial health departments will subsequently identify sites that will receive product and how much," the spokesperson said. "This system will help maintain equitable distribution, both geographically and temporally, across the country - providing states and territories with consistent, fairly-distributed supply over the coming weeks." That's akin to killing people, Donald Trump, Jr. is suggesting.

Joe Biden Has ‘Great Confidence’ In Top General Milley After Trump Revelation Joe Biden threw his weight behind the top US military officer on Wednesday, saying he had “great confidence” in the general who, according to a new book, took steps to prevent the outgoing Republican president Donald Trump from “going rogue” and launching a nuclear war or an attack on China. Mark Milley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, also defended phone calls he made to his Chinese military counterpart in the tumultuous final months of Trump’s presidency, signaling that the hitherto secret conversations were in keeping with his duties. “I have great confidence in General Milley,” Biden said at the White House, when asked if the military leader had done the right thing by intervening.

Pompeo Reacts To Bombshell Allegations That Milley Tried To Undermine Trump Pompeo on Milley allegations: We need to get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave his take on the accusations against General Milley on ‘Hannity,’ saying that if the conversation between Milley and his Chinese counterpart did take place, China would "use that to their advantage." MIKE POMPEO: We should make sure that we, as quickly as we can, find out if Gen. Milley spoke to Woodward himself. We should find out if Gen. Milley is prepared to testify, we can do it tomorrow or the next day to get clarity about what Gen. Milley said. I don't know the DOD's policy on whether there would be a transcript of this phone call, but I promise you there were note-takers in the room. I am very confident that conversation could be reconstructed. If you had a senior military leader who was simply an advisor tell the Chinese Communist Party that they would get notice of an attack, this rivals anything we've seen in our nation's history. Only the President of the United States has the capacity to make those decisions, and I'd be shocked if the then-acting Secretary of Defense gave him any authority to even contemplate that very conversation.

'Milley is a complete nutjob': Trump tears into Joint Chiefs Chairman and says the only reason Biden won't fire him is because he knows his 'dirty secrets' about Afghanistan withdrawal Former President Donald Trump tore into Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley and President Joe Biden on Wednesday night after the commander-in-chief staunchly defended the embattled general from accusations he broke the chain of command with his calls to Chinese officials and should face consequences. He accused Biden of covering for Milley because of 'dirty secrets' the general may know about Biden's chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal. 'Milley never told me about calls being made to China. From what I understand, he didn’t tell too many other people either,' the statement began. On Wednesday Milley admitted to making two calls to his Chinese counterpart, both before the election and in January, after claims he went behind Trump's back for fear of rogue action the then-president may take. Trump called him 'a complete nutjob.' 'He put our Country in a very dangerous position but President Xi knows better, and would’ve called me,' Trump continued.

BIDEN ADMIN TO ANSWER FOR AFGHANISTAN MISSTEPS .....TRUMP COMEBACK 2024 Top US commanders in Afghanistan wrestle with mistakes and regrets as America's longest war ends US commanders who led the war in Afghanistan are wrestling with the country's collapse to the Taliban, with some ruing the "pretty horrible mistakes" the US military made along the way and one of them flatly declaring America's longest war was not worth the price. "The 20-year war in Afghanistan was -- for the results that we have achieved -- not worth the cost," Karl Eikenberry, both a commander in Afghanistan from 2005 to 2007 and ambassador to the country from 2009 to 2011, tells CNN's Jake Tapper in a two-hour documentary that airs Sunday. In "America's Longest War: What Went Wrong in Afghanistan," Tapper conducts in-depth interviews with eight US commanders who led the war effort over two decades and four administrations, and who speak with new candor about decisions made by their commanders-in-chief that they believe undermined the war effort and might have prevented its success. In the interviews with the former military leaders and others, Tapper examines the mission and the missteps, how political decisions hurt the ability of service members to succeed, whether the Pentagon misrepresented the Afghan military's abilities to the public, and how after 20 years of sacrifice, the US withdrawal resulted in the return to power by the Taliban in August. After nearly two decades and more than $2 trillion in US taxpayer funds, after the deaths of more than 6,000 Americans and 100,000 Afghans, the bipartisan debacle that was the war in Afghanistan ended much like it began, leaving Americans -- especially those directly involved in the conflict -- struggling to understand how it all fell apart. No longer in uniform, Gens. Stanley McChrystal, David Petraeus, Joseph Dunford, John Allen, David McKiernan, Dan McNeill, and Lt. Gens. Eikenberry and David Barno, speak frankly.

BIDEN DECLARES WAR ON MILLIONS OF AMERICANS Biden’s Sweeping Vaccine Mandates Infuriate Republican Governors Some employers and business groups welcomed the new coronavirus requirements, but many G.O.P. leaders issued outright condemnations. President Biden’s orders pushing millions of workers to get vaccinated were aimed at turning the tide on a pandemic that has killed 650,000 Americans. But on Friday, the mandates immediately deepened the nation’s political divisions over coronavirus vaccinations and government power. Some employers and business groups welcomed the sweeping new requirements, which affect most federal employees and contractors, health care workers, and companies with 100 or more employees. Labor unions representing millions of workers expressed a mix of support and reservations. And Republican leaders issued outright condemnations, calling the mandates a big-government attack on personal freedoms and private business. News of the mandates prompted Gov. Henry McMaster of South Carolina to say he would fight Mr. Biden and his party “to the gates of hell.” Several Republican governors vowed to go to court to challenge the constitutionality of the rules that affect two-thirds of American workers, setting the stage for one of the nation’s most consequential legal battles over public health since Republicans sued to overturn the Affordable Care Act.

What is there to say about the disastrous pullout from Kabul? The Taliban will stop at nothing. There is no respect for human life — not only of our soldiers but also of their fellow citizens. Thursday’s suicide bombing, killing 13 American troops and scores of Afghans, only makes that clear.

Donald Trump Delivers Remarks on 9/11 Anniversary Former President Donald Trump made a visit to a New York City firehouse Saturday afternoon to meet with first responders in the city. During his meeting, he expressed support for the NYPD. "We love the blue," Trump said while speaking with members of the New York Police Department and Fire Department. "I'll say it loud. You know you're not supposed to say that. We love the blue!" "The support I've been given by fire and police has been incredible," he added. Trump also Saturday hinted at a 2024 presidential run.

Today Marks 20 Years Since September 11th Attacks Commemorations have been taking place in the US today, as the country marks the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the series of attacks exactly 20 years ago today. US President Joe Biden was joined by his predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York for the first of a series of ceremonies. The ceremony at ground zero was started by a choir singing the American national anthem, followed by a minute's silence. The relatives of the victims are reading out the names of every person who lost their lives, while bells tolled at the exact moment the planes hit the Twin Towers. Other events are due to take place in Washington and Pennsylvania later today

We All Remember The Scenes Out Of Kabul KABUL, Afghanistan — Ten days after the chaotic evacuation of Afghanistan came to an end, a lone jetliner lifted off from Kabul’s airport on Thursday, the first international passenger flight since American forces ended their 20-year presence in the country. The departure of the chartered Qatar Airways Boeing 777, with scores of Americans, Canadians and Britons on board, was hailed by some as a sign that Taliban-ruled Afghanistan might be poised to re-engage with the world, even as reports emerged that the group was intensifying its crackdown on dissent. “Kabul Airport is now operational,” Mutlaq bin Majed Al-Qahtani, a special envoy from Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a news conference on the tarmac. In recent days, Qatari and Turkish personnel worked with the Taliban to repair damage and make the airport basically functional again. But just more than a week ago, the facility was a scene of frantic desperation as people jockeyed to find seats on the last commercial and military planes out.

Now President, Biden To Mark 911 Rite Amid New Terror Fear He will again make the ritual journey to sacred American landmarks of loss. He will once more bow his head in silent prayer. He will repeat words of comfort for those whose lives changed forever on that brilliant September day two decades ago. But this time, Joe Biden will hold the rank of commander in chief as he marks the anniversary of the nation’s worst terror attack. Now, he shoulders the responsibility borne by previous presidents to prevent future tragedy, and must do so against fresh fears of a rise in terror after the United States’ exit from the country from which the Sept. 11 attacks were launched. This 9/11 comes little more than two weeks after a suicide bomber in Kabul killed 13 U.S. service members as the military concluded its withdrawal from Afghanistan. And as Afghanistan returns to Taliban rule, there are fresh concerns that the country could again be a launching pad for attacks that Biden’s government will be charged with preventing.

This Administration No Longer Care About Laws President Joe Biden on Thursday issued two executive orders mandating vaccines for federal workers and contractors and announced new requirements for large employers and health care providers that he said would affect around 100 million workers, more than two-thirds of the U.S. workforce. "We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin," Biden said, making a direct appeal to the 80 million people who he said were still unvaccinated. "Your refusal has cost all of us." Biden also announced that he asked the Department of Labor to issue an emergency rule requiring all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated or require any unvaccinated workers to produce a negative Covid test at least once a week. The requirement could carry a $14,000 fine per violation and would affect two-thirds of the country's workforce, a senior administration official said.

Gitmo Prisoner Released By Obama Are Now Leading The Taliban Just a month and a half ago, the U.S. president promised that Kabul would not produce images reminiscent of Saigon in 1975, when hopeless Vietnamese tried desperately to board the last American helicopter. Then, after the Kabul airport had been surrounded by the Taliban and Afghans tried to cling to U.S. airplanes as they were taking off, Biden promised to evacuate every American citizen from the country. This, promise, too, proved impossible to fulfil. Now, the Americans are left to hope that the Taliban learned their lesson from 2001. Back then, they made the mistake of allowing al-Qaida to stay, says Vali Nasr, who worked for the State Department during the Obama administration and now teaches at Johns Hopkins University. But he doesn't think they will repeat it. "The Taliban know that the Americans won’t return because of Shariah or women’s rights. That would only happen if Americans were to die in New York because of a terrorist plan hatched in Afghanistan," he says.

Donald Trump Jr On Biden's Self Inflicted Foreign Policy Mess In Afghanistan Sean Hannity started by asking the former president’s son, with respect to Afghanistan, “What would your dad do?” The Trump administration reached a deal with the Taliban in 2020 to withdraw. Biden has received serious criticism for the chaotic withdrawal, and for the Americans and U.S. allies left behind after American troops departed. Trump has been criticized over his administration’s deal, including by some former Trump officials. Trump Jr. told Hannity, “The only thing these animals respect and understand is strength, and Joe Biden exudes nothing but weakness. Donald Trump exuded strength, so they knew he was not someone to be trifled with. They knew he was not someone to mess with.” He went on to say his father “had the brainpower to actually negotiate like a real businessman, not a bureaucrat politician with no real world experience.” “He wouldn’t have walked away without having conditions met. He wouldn’t have given them I’ve read 65 billion in U.S. equipment. He wouldn’t have allowed that and they wouldn’t have even thought to mess with him,” Trump added, referring to the Biden administration as “a clown show.”

House Republicans Privately Beg Trump to Help Them Impeach Biden Republicans increasingly show willingness to call for President Joe Biden’s impeachment, there’s one GOP voice that’s notably absent: Donald Trump. At least, he’s been absent publicly. When he hasn’t been advocating for the re-invasion of Afghanistan or fundraising off Biden’s troop withdrawal, the ex-president has been fielding phone calls from members of Congress who are trying to gin up support in the U.S. House to remove his successor. In recent weeks, Trump has talked to multiple GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill to discuss their progress—or lack thereof—on moving to impeach Biden over the tumultuous, violent withdrawal from the Afghanistan War, according to two Republican sources with knowledge of the situation. At this time, Republicans of course have nowhere near the numbers in the House to actually impeach Biden, despite the bluster and the messaging push. One of the sources said most of the conversations have been initiated by lawmakers themselves, as they try to recruit Trump to publicly support various legislative attempts to embarrass Biden, either by impeachment of him or members of his administration—or by invoking the 25th Amendment. And yet, Trump has been somewhat resistant to attach his name to these efforts.

state dept accused of blocking AFGHAN evact flights Americans engaged in the rescue of U.S. citizens, SIVs and green card holders left behind by President Biden in Afghanistan are horrified by what they describe as inexplicable delays from the State Department that are preventing evacuation flights from leaving the country. The State Department's delays are recklessly endangering American lives, three different individuals involved in the private evacuation effort told Fox News. Rick Clay, who runs the private rescue group PlanB, told Fox News that the State Department is the only thing preventing the flights he's organizing from leaving Afghanistan. Two other American individuals separately involved in evacuation efforts, whom Fox News is not naming to avoid jeopardizing ongoing rescue efforts, similarly said that the State Department is the sole entity preventing their charter flights from leaving Afghanistan. "This is zero place to be negotiating with American lives. Those are our people standing on the tarmac and all it takes is a f---ing phone call," one of those individuals, who has been integral to private evacuation efforts from Afghanistan,

Taliban Claims Victory In Last Afghan Province The Taliban has claimed victory over opposition forces in the last holdout province of Panjshir, completing their takeover of Afghanistan three weeks after capturing Kabul. “With this victory, our country is completely taken out of the quagmire of war,” chief spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Monday. The anti-Taliban National Resistance Front (NRF), pledged to carry on fighting in Panjshir Valley, saying it is present in “strategic positions” and that “the struggle against the Taliban… will continue”. The whereabouts of resistance leader Ahmed Massoud and Amrullah Saleh, the former vice president who had joined the resistance after the fall of Kabul, were not immediately known. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has flown to Qatar to discuss the chaotic aftermath of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

U.S. Citizen In Afghan Says Taliban Going Door-to-door Hunting American A pregnant California native still trapped in Afghanistan says the Taliban are going door to door hunting for Americans. Nasria, 25, who requested only her first name be used out of fear for her safety, is one of the roughly 100 Americans believed to still be stuck in the country, and trying to find a way out. She had flown there in June to visit family, and get married to her longtime boyfriend, who is an Afghan national. 'There's been days where I think to myself, "am I going to make it home? am I going to end up living here? Am I going to end up dying here?" What's going to happen?' she told Voice of America. Now, with American presence in the country gone, she says, 'Apparently they're [the Taliban] going door-to-door now. Trying to see if anyone has a blue passport.' Her tale came as Texas Rep. Mike McCaul said on Sunday that he believes the Taliban are continuing to block Americans from leaving the country, and have stopped passengers aboard six planes at Mazar-iSharif International Airport while making demands of the US.

Biden Call Afghan Exit An Extraordinary Success President Joe Biden defended his withdrawal from Afghanistan in a speech Tuesday, one day after the final U.S. troops left the Taliban-run country following two decades of war, insisting the departure was timed appropriately and calling the frenzied, dangerous and often chaotic effort to evacuate Americans and Afghans from the country an “extraordinary success.” The last U.S. military jet departed Kabul’s airport late Monday, ending the longest war in American history with the Taliban — which the United States pushed out of power in 2001 and spent 20 years attempting to vanquish — back in control of Afghanistan. The United States spent its final weeks occupying Kabul’s airport and flying out thousands of American citizens, Afghans who worked for the U.S. military and others at risk of Taliban retaliation. The evacuation was interrupted after scores of Afghans flooded onto the airfield and attempted to board departing planes two weeks ago, and last week’s suicide bombing reportedly killed more than 100 civilians and 13 U.S. troops working to secure the airport. Biden has faced intense criticism for his handling of the withdrawal, but he’s argued the only alternative to leaving Afghanistan this year was prolonging — and possibly escalating — a war he views as obsolete, unwinnable and disconnected from the United States’ strategic interests. “I was not going to extend this forever war, and I was not extending the forever exit,” Biden said Tuesday.
