As I'm writing this (yesterday @ 10:38 AM EDST), a second "suicide bomber" has blown him/herself up outside the gates of Kabul Airport. It brings up an "elephant in the room" type question: Why would the Taliban.. any Muslim terror group... send a suicide bomber into the situation that exists.. something sounds politically contrived.... it even reeks of something the Democratic Party would resort to in order to get sympathy and divert attention away from their screw ups. I'm sorry to "feel" this way, but after the PeLOUSY "impeachment" ploys, and major city Democrat mayors handcuffing their law enforcement officers from stopping Antifa/BLM riots, killings and lootings, I put nothing past the Democratic Party agenda.

You know, if the Taliban wanted to inflame the situation at Kabul Airport, suicide bombers would be way down the method list... no... the Taliban would probably just shoot down a departing plane...

---
At the last count I can find this morning, 13 US Marines were killed, and 18 wounded in yesterday's suicide bombings in Kabul! Considering the "advanced warnings" for Americans near the airport gate to vacate that area, there's no way "suicide bombers" should have been allowed to infiltrate that area unaccosted!

You know..hearing JoKKKe Biden promise to take care of business doesn't ring quite so re-assuring as hearing President Trump state irrevocably that we know who you are and where you live.

---
Moment of silence? Good Grief! Yesterday America and the world wanted to hear Biden ROAR!

---
And what about that pathetic Press Corp? If Trump had said he was INSTRUCTED to calling on specific journalists with preset questions, the media pool would have been eviscerating Trump!

Online and Online headline story: "US sharing intelligence with Taliban to thwart ISIS attacks, general says * The Taliban’s new self-proclaimed chief of security in Kabul is someone who was designated a terrorist by the U.S. government 10 years ago and is subject to a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture. * Khalil Ur-Rahman Haqqani told Al Jazeera in an interview published Sunday that the Taliban was working to restore order in Afghanistan" -- Good grief! Please don't tell me this is the guy JoKKKe Biden's "people" turned over the names of Americans still in Afghanistan!!!!! Br'er Haqqani is "laffing" from the deep in the Briar patch Br'er JoKKKe threw him in!

From the " Can you JEER me now?" department - Online headline/story: "Verizon promotes defunding the police and idea America is fundamentally racist * Verizon training featured Khalil Muhammad, who argued that police 'reinforce' inequalities * Researcher Chris Rufo has obtained documents that purportedly show Verizon employees being instructed to reflect on various aspects of their identity. * I feel like over-policing doesn't work," said activist Adrian Burrell. "And I feel like those same resources that are aimed towards hiring policing, and having people come in contact with, you know, people with racist biases, and all these different things, it needs to be aimed at just bringing more resources to the community at a root level, and then you just won't need so many police. And if you want to call that 'abolishing the police,' or if you want to call that 'defunding the police,' so be it." -- "if you want to call that 'abolishing the police,' or if you want to call that 'defunding the police,' so be it."? Good grief! I do not...never have, in fact... use Verizon, but if I was, today I'd be switching to another cellphone company!!!

Of course, we need to hear from both sides of this issue, but the organizer of the event at Columbus' Carver Park that saw the shooting death of a Columbus woman protecting her young niece needs some good.. and fast...answers from the Sheriff's Department.

WRBL-TV3 headline/story: "Four days, dozens of arrests: Officials share effects of “Operation Washout River City” * Over the span of four days, law enforcement agencies came together in a joint task force to conduct a mass deliverance of justice in Columbus to gang members and violent offenders. * The joint federal, state and local Project Safe Neighborhoods Program, centered “Operation Washout River City” in their Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts according to a news release. * Between Aug. 9-13, operation Washout River City included more than 50 agents, investigators, and officers from the following agencies:

U.S. Marshals Service-Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force
U.S. Attorney’s Office
FBI
DEA
Organized Crime and Gang Unit-Atlanta
Georgia State Patrol
Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office
Columbus Police Department
Georgia Department of Community Supervision
U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Georgia

Operation Washout River City consequently led to the arrest of 57 individuals, clearance of 128 warrants, seizure of 27 firearms, and seizure of four lbs. of illegal substances. * Acting U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia Peter D. Leary was accompanied by Muscogee County Sheriff Greg Countryman and Columbus Police Chief Freddie Blackmon announced the vast results of the initiative from the Department of Justice Project Safe Neighborhoods in a conference Thursday, Aug. 26." -- Too bad it didn't last through the event that caused the death of the Columbus woman protecting her niece last week.. But anyway, so glad to see some positive action taken to curb the soaring violence terrorizing our city! Let's pray that "no cash bails" aren't an option for any of the charged!!!

From the "Surely this is an early/late April Fool's Day prank!" department - Online National AP headline/story: "COLUMBUS, Ga. — Only $210 in cash was deposited in accounts for a Georgia (Muscogee) county court during years in which the clerk’s office received $5.9 million in cash, an FBI agent told a federal magistrate judge. * The cash was collected from 2010 to 2019, Special Agent Kate Furtak testified Wednesday at a detention hearing for former Muscogee County deputy court clerk Willie Demps," -- Good grief! First we were told it involved about $500K... then $1.5M.. and now it's $5.9 MILLION! And that there's a "trail" of huge dollar transfers to an account in Africa! From what we've read, it seems some bank officials and past elected Municipal Court Clerks need to be testifying under oath as well!

Online headline: "20-year-old Wanya Wise died after a hit-and-run collision near Forrest Road (Muscogee County, GA)" -- 47....50...depending on who's defining what a homicide is..

Will someone please send this to CNN? Online headline/story: "Police STUNNED To Find Suspicious Objects Appearing To Link Man To Fraudulent Election * The Torrance Police Department answered a call about a man sleeping in his car located at the local 7-Eleven parking lot. On arrival, police found Xanax, methamphetamine, a handgun, special election ballots, and driver’s licenses and credit cards not belonging to the suspect, according to Mark Ponegalek of the Torrance Police Department. * “Inside the vehicle, the officers found a loaded handgun, some narcotics, and then they found a bunch of mail and what turned out to be over 300 election ballots in the backseat of the vehicle,” Ponegalek said * It is unclear how the suspect obtained the missing ballots or what his motive was for keeping them in his car. * The county registrar’s office commented that they do not believe the ballots were taken in an effort to interfere with the election.
* “There’s nothing to indicate this was focused on the election,” the officer said." -- "nothing to indicate this was focused on the election"? Good grief! Next we'll be told that the guy arrested was a Good Samaritan trying to help out the overworked Post Office employees of the area! Does the fact that 46 of 55 of the elected Congressional officials are Democrats, and they do not require Voter ID?

The US Supreme Court has ruled twice this week to stop JoKKKe Biden's actions on Border and eviction ban issues. Biden clearly overstepped his job description as described in our Constitution.. Sadly, both votes were 6-3... more sadly is we have 3 judges sitting on the US Supreme Court who don't adhere to their Constitutional job descriptions either..

I hate to highlight Rory McIlroy on anything but have to mention "he pulled his 3-wood" om hole number 8 (his 17th of the day) in the final round of the Northern Trust FedExCup Playoffs.. Like I said, I hate to highlight Rory McIlroy, but he didn't just "pull" his shot.. he actually "pulled" his 3-wood club into the trees bordering the New Jersey Turnpike! Hmmm... and while it was probably an "f" word,  I'll bet it WASN'T "Fore" he yelled!

Online headline: "Officer who shot Ashli Babbitt breaks silence: 'I saved countless lives'" -- Yeah... assassinating an unarmed woman saved "countless lives".. well only if you count "ZERO" as a number of saved lives. too.

Online horror story: "Several dozen schoolchildren and adult relatives, all Afghan refugees newly resettled in California, ended up stranded in Afghanistan after traveling back to their homeland over the summer to visit loved ones, San Diego-area school officials said on Wednesday. " -- Good grief! It's not just the minds of a California School/School District officials that need to be examined, but who in the State Department allowed such idiocy!
