President Joe Biden grinned like a fool and refused to address the press after making a speech on Tuesday, September 2. Biden was seen discussing his achievements in a rare appearance before the public at the White House. The theme of the speech was “investing in America” and Biden highlighted claims of economic progress in the wake of the pandemic.
Biden claimed the US is economically strong, despite record inflation during his administration, he also claimed a number of economic records were broken. Biden hilariously claimed that the pandemic “no longer controls our lives,” highlighting how his administration was willing to allow a respiratory illness to abrogate America’s most sacred freedoms.
Disease-related lockdowns destroyed countless American businesses, and put small business owners out of work. This is why Biden can tout “record job growth” and “record growth of small businesses;” because largely Democrat and even many moderate Republican governors allowed their states to shut down for months or years in some cases, abrogating individual ability to work. Economic recovery is mislabeled as “growth.”
In many cases, citizens had to subject themselves to a dangerous experimental injection before being allowed to return to their job. Some were maimed, others died as a consequence, and yet still the issue is largely unaddressed at the national level.
Biden refused to address any questions after his recitation of how awesome his administration has been. Reporters shouted queries about the Israeli-Hamas war, inflation of grocery costs, and a recent proposal by Trump to help reduce the cost of IVF treatment (in vitro fertilization) to help young couples get pregnant. Biden wore a wide grin while his handlers escorted him out of the room; he completely ignored the press.
Ignoring the press has been a mainstay of Biden’s administration. During his 2020 election bid, he regularly “called a lid” on his campaign for days at a time and refused to appear in public or engage in interviews. We’re seeing something similar with how the Democrats are handling Kamala Harris.
Her recent interview with friendly-network CNN only aired 18 minutes of a much longer interview, even with a friendly-network, her running mate beside her, and editing the content, she still came across incredibly weak.
John Kirby’s ‘Reply All’ Blunder: A Cold Glimpse Into Biden’s Disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawal
It was the anniversary of 9/11—a day meant to honor those we lost, a day that changed America forever. Yet this solemn occasion was marred by an email slip-up that shines a spotlight on the Biden administration’s cold, calculated approach to one of the most disastrous military withdrawals in U.S. history. John Kirby, White House National Security Council advisor, accidentally sent an internal email meant for White House staffers to a Fox News reporter. What did it say? Essentially, it told us everything we needed to know about how this administration views our veterans and their concerns about the catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal: “No use in responding.”
A Callous Dismissal
Kirby’s email, sent out on the anniversary of the most tragic terrorist attack on American soil, couldn’t have been more poorly timed. His dismissive response—labeling concerns from veterans as the opinions of a “handful of vets”—was not just a blunder, but an insight into how the Biden administration operates behind closed doors. It wasn’t meant for public eyes, but the fact that it slipped out in this way gives us a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the coldness that has been behind many of their decisions.
These aren’t just random critics; these are veterans—men and women who served and sacrificed during the 20-year war in Afghanistan. Many of them have lost friends, family, and comrades in this seemingly never-ending conflict. For them, the botched withdrawal that left 13 U.S. service members dead was more than just a military failure—it was a betrayal. Yet Kirby, a man who served in the Navy for 28 years, brushed it off as though their concerns were irrelevant.
A Legacy of Failure
Let’s not forget the context. The Afghanistan withdrawal was an unmitigated disaster. President Biden promised a “safe and orderly” exit, but what we saw was chaos. The images of desperate Afghans clinging to the wheels of departing aircraft, the horrific bombing at Kabul airport that killed 13 American service members, and the hasty, ill-prepared evacuation that left behind thousands of Afghan allies—this wasn’t a planned exit; it was a flaming wreck.
Kirby, who publicly defended the withdrawal as “not chaotic” and claimed it was “one of the most successful airlifts in history,” continues to echo the administration’s narrative that everything went according to plan. But behind the scenes, we now know they think these veteran concerns are just noise, easily ignored.
A Puppet of the Administration
As White House spokesman, Kirby has become nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Biden administration, spinning the narrative and covering up their failures. His email is just the latest example of how tone-deaf this administration is to the voices of those who matter most—our veterans and their families.
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL), an Army veteran, summed it up best when he said, “The bottom line is that the Biden-Harris administration chose politics over strategy, and Kirby, who I wouldn’t trust to guard my grocery list, is now trying to cover for them.” That’s it, right there. This isn’t about protecting lives or ensuring a safe withdrawal. This was always about optics.
From day one, the administration prioritized looking good over doing the right thing. They wanted to pull out of Afghanistan so they could say, “Look! We ended the war!” But at what cost? They left behind Americans, allies, and those who helped us during our time in the country. They sacrificed lives for a political talking point.
Veterans Betrayed
The real slap in the face is to our veterans. These are the men and women who fought, bled, and sacrificed for this country—many of whom saw the horrors of war up close and personal. And when they raised legitimate concerns about how the Afghanistan withdrawal was handled, they were dismissed with the click of an email.
These veterans aren’t just any group. They’re part of a brotherhood, a group that understands the true cost of war. They’ve lost friends, seen the destruction, and now, they’re watching as the administration glosses over their concerns as if they don’t matter.
Let’s not forget the Gold Star families—those who lost loved ones in Afghanistan. How do you think they feel about being told their concerns aren’t worth responding to? Kirby may try to clean up this mess by claiming the email was an accident, but the truth is, it’s just a window into how this administration operates.
The Real Story Behind the Withdrawal
If you look closely at the withdrawal, it’s clear that the administration knew the Afghan government would collapse. They had intelligence that suggested as much, but instead of planning for a safe and orderly exit, they chose to put on a show. They evacuated without securing the region, left behind military equipment, and worst of all, allowed the Taliban to seize control.
Rep. Mike McCaul’s investigation revealed what many of us already suspected. The administration ignored warnings, dismissed critical intelligence, and chose “optics over security.” And now, they expect us to believe that everything went as planned?
This isn’t just incompetence; this is deliberate. They didn’t want to face the reality of what they were doing, so they covered it up. And now, when veterans speak out, they brush it off as though it doesn’t matter. It’s disgusting.
The Cover-Up Continues
Kirby’s email blunder might be a small glimpse into the administration’s mindset, but it tells us everything we need to know. They don’t care about the truth. They care about controlling the narrative. And when the truth slips out, they try to cover it up as fast as possible.
But veterans like Cory Mills, Brian Mast, and many others won’t let them get away with it. They’re calling out the lies, the manipulation, and the disregard for the people who served this country with honor. As Mills said, Kirby is “dispel[ling] all the truths while covering up all the lies.”
Final Thoughts
John Kirby’s email slip wasn’t just a mistake—it was a look into the soul of this administration. An administration that cares more about its image than the people it’s supposed to serve. An administration that would rather spin a story than face the facts. And in the end, it’s the veterans who are left out in the cold, their concerns dismissed, their sacrifices ignored.
We can’t allow this to continue. Our veterans deserve better. They deserve leaders who respect their service and sacrifice, not bureaucrats who brush them aside. The Biden administration may try to cover this up, but the truth is out now, and we won’t let them forget it.
WE’D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS! PLEASE COMMENT BELOW.
The fiery September 10 debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump has left more than just political sparks flying—it’s ignited a fierce controversy over the role of ABC News moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis. While much of the media declared Harris the winner, the conduct of the moderators has drawn sharp criticism, particularly from Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr., co-founder and co-chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates.
Fahrenkopf, a veteran of overseeing presidential debates since 1988, was appalled by what he saw as clear bias. “What really shocked me last night was the way the moderators handled it,” Fahrenkopf said. “They’re supposed to be facilitators, not participants.” His comments highlight a growing sentiment that Muir and Davis overstepped their role by frequently interjecting to fact-check Trump, while giving Harris an easier path to respond without the same level of scrutiny.
Fahrenkopf pointed out that a moderator’s job is to guide the debate—not to debate the candidates themselves. “A debate is between the candidates, not a debate between the candidate and the moderators,” he stressed, calling it one of the worst moderator performances he’s ever seen. His concerns echo what many Trump supporters have argued for years: that media bias tips the scales against their candidate.
Trump, never one to mince words, blasted the debate as a “rigged deal” and claimed victory despite the perceived 3-to-1 odds against him. He took to Truth Social to vent his frustration, declaring that there would be *”NO THIRD DEBATE!”* and mocking Harris for avoiding past debate invitations. He also criticized Harris’ debate performance, accusing her of dodging tough questions and receiving preferential treatment.
This isn’t the first time Trump has called out the debate process. Throughout his political career, he has consistently slammed the media for bias, and this latest incident only reinforces his belief that the system is rigged against him. His statement made it clear that he sees no reason to participate in future debates with Harris, writing, *”When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH.’ Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate.”*
Harris’ team, on the other hand, had requested an additional debate after the ABC-hosted event, but with Trump firmly closing the door, it looks like the debate stage won’t see these two face off again. The debate may be over, but the fallout is only just beginning.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has been a key supporter of a state research group that partnered with China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, the facility at the center of the controversial coronavirus lab leak theory. The group, the Hormel Institute, has worked with the Wuhan institute on various research projects.
Over the years, Walz has consistently backed the Hormel Institute, helping it secure millions of dollars in funding. As a member of Congress, Walz lobbied for additional federal funding for the organization, dating back to 2008, and continued to champion its work as governor.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology has faced intense global scrutiny since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with some theories suggesting a possible lab origin for the virus. Despite the controversy, Walz’s support for the Hormel Institute and its research collaborations remains firm.
According to the Examiner, the organization been involved with the Wuhan Institute of Virology as well:
In recent years, researchers at the Hormel Institute have teamed up with the Wuhan Institute of Virology on a variety of projects, including in 2020 for a COVID-19 study and as recently as this year on structural biology research.
In 2020, the Hormel Institute also disclosed in the “funding information” section of a separate EMBO Journal study that it received “help from the Core Facility and Technical Support” of the WIV for “radioactive and fluorescent tests,” the Washington Examiner found.
…
Similarly, in January 2024, Hormel Institute researchers published a study on genes with the WIV’s Lina He, Wei Zhou, and Yangbo Hu. The WIV was used for “radioactive tests,” according to page 10 of the study.
Walz’s connections to China are drawing fresh attention, as his long-standing relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) raises concerns. Walz has cultivated ties with China for years, including organizing exchange programs and advocating for closer cooperation with the CCP.
Peter Schweizer, a New York Times bestselling author and senior contributor to Breitbart News, discussed Walz’s history during an August appearance on Breitbart News Daily. Schweizer highlighted Walz’s student exchange program with China, which was reportedly organized and funded by the CCP. He also noted that Walz advised participants to minimize their “Americanness” while in China, a move that some see as deference to the Chinese government.
Walz has visited China more than two dozen times, including his honeymoon, and has maintained a consistent engagement with Chinese officials. In 2019, he delivered a speech to an organization that Schweizer claims was a CCP front group, further raising questions about his involvement with the regime. Schweizer also pointed out that Walz has consistently framed China in a favorable light, even downplaying concerns about human rights abuses. Notably, in 2010, Walz compared the Tiananmen Square Massacre, in which thousands were killed by Chinese military forces, to the Wounded Knee massacre in the U.S. during the 19th century, a comparison critics have called inappropriate.
Additionally, Schweizer revealed that one of China’s “secret police stations” operating in the U.S. is located in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, within Walz’s home state, adding another layer to the controversy surrounding his ties to China.
Further evidence of China ties for Walz, however, is not surprising, as he has a long history of courting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
“The concerns are, look, you know, you can like China. You can like the Chinese people. The question is, when you set up an exchange program, as he did, to bring students to China, you’re not dealing with the Chinese people — you’re dealing with the Chinese Communist Party. And in the case of his program, it’s funded by the CCP. It was organized with the help of the CCP,” New York Times bestselling author and Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily in August, noting that Walz urged those students to tone down their “Americanness” when going to China.
Walz, who has been to China over two dozen times — even honeymooning there — has other odd connections. In 2019, for example, he delivered a speech for an organization which served as a front group for the CCP.
“And yet, in 2019 he goes and gives them a speech. … Whenever he talks about China, it’s with a lot of warmth. And whenever there are issues raised about its human rights situation, there’s always a well, you know, we have the same kind of thing. We have the same problems. You know, the most famous one he did in 2010 was talking about the Tiananmen Square Massacre, when 10,000 people were killed by the Chinese military. And he said, ‘Well, you know, we had Wounded Knee.’ You know, of course, Wounded Knee was in the 19th century. Casualties were, you know, maybe one percent. It was a horrible situation. I’m not minimizing it, but to compare Wounded Knee with Tiananmen Square is kind of the ridiculous kind of comparisons that he tries to draw to sort of normalize CCP behavior,” Schweizer said, also revealing the “secret police stations that the Chinese have here in the United States” has one in the Twin Cities in Walz’s home state.
“And the organization that runs that secret police station is tied to a group called Minnesota Global, which is a Tim Walz organization,” he added.
All of this comes as the House Oversight Committee launches an investigation into Walz’s numerous connections to China following what they describe as “reports detailing the Governor’s longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and officials.”
