In effect Abortion BANNED in Texas - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " A law banning abortion from as early as six weeks into pregnancy has come into effect in the US state of Texas. "

Lets Get Real:

The US Supreme Court is showing its Conservative majority in a BAD LIGHT, abortion should be legal and on demand, the Texas law in essence bans abortion, the US Congress as controlled by Democrats should pass a new FEDERAL law that over rules any of the States from taking the same action as Texas.  As true Conservative sees Abortion as a private issue, the Government's role should be limited, to try to STOP abortion the Supreme Court is being VERY LIBERAL.  One hopes the Biden Administration ( Read Biden's Oval reaction to the Texas law ) can get something right and get the US Congress to pass a hasty bill to protect Abortion as a FEDERAL RIGHT as it was from the 1970s onward. 

President Biden on the ENDIGN of the AFGHAN War - Biden Era

The White House: Speech by President Biden on the ending of the Afghan War.

Lets Get Real:

POTUS just abdicated as the LEADER of the West. Worse he thinks he is right!  God help it if your an ally of the US, America's word can not be trusted with Biden in the Oval Office.  One hopes Democrats and Republicans condemn this speech, Truman, Kennedy, Reagan will be turning in their graves, this is Biden's surrender and appeasement speech, has he learned nothing from Neville Chamberlain and Trump.   

American Hostages of the Taliban ? - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Secretary of State Antony Blinken said officials believe that between 100 and 200 Americans seeking to leave the country remain there and were not evacuated on military flights out of Kabul  "

Lets Get Real:

The US/UK control if the new Taliban terror regime gets any of the former Afghan's governments assets that have been frozen since KABUL fell to the Taliban. The West wants the Taliban to allow US/UK and Western passport holders to fly from the Kabul Airport, but they also want Afghan Allies of the West to be allowed to leave.  If the Taliban were really stupid they could take American hostages, if your old enough you remember the Iran hostage crisis, from 1979 to 1981, in that event the Islamic Students under the ORDERS of the new hard line Islamic regime in Tehran, IRAN took 52 US diplomatic hostages, and that lasted in till 1981and the Inauguration of Ronald Reagan, in those years the Carter Administration did a deal to un - freeze the Assets of the previous regime as the part of the deal for the return of their hostages.  The hostage crisis lead to the defeat of Jimmy Carter in 1980.  Even terrorists one thinks would work out that would be a BIG MISTAKE, Biden would be forced to take action against them, even invade again!! One can see a back room deal, the Taliban allow Western passport holders and Afghan Allies to leave and in return they get the assets of the former regime.  Of course thus does not even cover the civil rights of girls and women to go to school and to work, will that also be a condition of any un - freezing of assets, so far the Biden Administration has not shown enough that it cares, Biden wants to move to the domestic front and the Mid Terms in 2022 and then the general election in 2024.  The Biden OVAL must hope that the American voter will not care about Afghanistan after a few years and the domestic Spending by the Biden and the Democratic Congress will get them over the line when it comes to votes.

120,000 Thousand People saved in Kabul Air Rescue - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.56pm post the following, " Joe Biden confirmed on Monday that the US has helped 120,000 people flee Taliban rule in Afghanistan. "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Administration and Democrats will try to create the impression that this was Biden's Dunkirk moment, that the US saved over a hundred thousand Afghans from the terror of the Taliban.  The problem is that Biden created his mess, the European Allies begged him to change the end date of the 31st of August, he would not move, the end date was a Biden's idea for the American voters, in that moment, 13 US Soldiers were killed and over a hundred and seventy Afghans were killed by a bomber.  Even then Biden would not move, Robert Gates was right about him, he has not learned been right about foreign policy in forty years and Ronald Reagan called him a demagogue in his diaries.   This day is an humiliation for the US, after the 20 years, the TALIBAN are back in power, and have the American equipment left by the US.  Also ISIS-K has become a THREAT and the Al Qaeda will be reborn, Biden has a lot to answer for in the 2024 Presidential Election. 

NATO Chief on Afghanistan - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.59pm post the following, " It is “essential” to keep Kabul’s airport open and operational to ensure that people who still wish to leave can do so, Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said.  "

Lets Get Real:

It is important that the Allies keep their word and get Afghan Allies out of Afghanistan.  Thus one assumes the US and the UK have had discreet talks with the Taliban, the agenda would be simple, allow US/UK Citizens to leave and also allow Afghan Allies of the US/UK to leave, and any one who wants to leave the Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban.  What can the WEST offer to the TALIBAN, the frozen assets of the previous Afghan Government and humanitarian aid to the people of Afghanistan.  If the Taliban Terror group does not do as asked, they get NOTHING, I mean NOTHING.  One can see if a terrorist group can form a stable government and allow for the Western demands, also that girls and women be allowed to have civil rights, that will be harder, as with most things there are factions, the hard core Taliban supporters will want strict Islamic law, thus banning of women outside the home, it will be interesting to see if the Taliban 2.0 comes out on top or Taliban 1.0 shows it face, a bunch of religious terrorists who do not deserve to breath. 

US Drone Strike in Kabul - Evac Operation - Part 2 - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 3.56pm post, "  US military carries out airstrike on vehicle fitted with explosives and reportedly carrying 'multiple suicide bombers' towards Kabul airport "

Lets Get Real:

On the political side this will help Biden, even some Democrats on the Hill have stated that the evac operation was to short and did not allow to get ALL US Citizens out of Kabul, also Afghan allies who have worked the Allies.  The problem might come up if the Taliban take US hostages, Afghanistan is a big place to hide hostages, also ISIS- K might try to attack Americans still in Country.   Thus the Biden Administration has to be CLEAR with the Taliban, any of that kind of rubbish and the Americans will be back, also that it is up to the Taliban to protect Americans and Afghan Allies still in Country, if they want to see any of the frozen assets of the previous Afghan government.  This will be a long term story to keep eye on. 

2nd US Strike on ISIS-K - Kabul Evac - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.40pm post the following, " US officials have now said the operation - an air strike involving a drone - targeted a suicide bomber in a vehicle who was aiming to carry out an attack at Kabul airport. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus it seems that POTUS has his hand on the trigger finger and will order drone strikes, the question is will he do this after the US is out of Afghanistan. It can be postulated that ISIS-K will try to grow in Afghanistan, they will do combat with the Taliban for control, as long as they kill each other then the innocent people can breath easily.  The problem starts should Al Qaeda get a second wind and try to export terror to Western Europe or the US.  The same goes for Daesh and its offshoot ISIS-K.  The CIA and the NSA should keep a close eye on Afghanistan, if they see Afghans they do not like the look off they should have the authority to drone them.
