The Joker of the Week belongs to National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horne.
On September 9, 2021, NSC spokeswoman Emily Horne said of the Taliban, “They have shown flexibility, and they have been businesslike and professional in our dealings with them in this effort”.
Like Tennis player John McEnroe would say, “You cannot be serious”.
According to One America News Network, “the compliments were originally delivered by Horne who thanked the terrorist organization for the cooperation in allowing Americans to leave Kabul on Thursday”.
Folks, this is garbage on a Chef Salad. The Taliban hasn’t done anything to help with the evacuation of Americans out of Afghanistan.
On the contrary, Americans have been held hostage by the Taliban and left behind by the United States government. Our government doesn’t even know how many Americans citizens are still in Afghanistan or hiding within the country.
The Biden administration continues to spew lies to hide the reality on the ground.
The punchline? An utter failure and a foreign policy debacle.
How they want the American People to finance the relocation of Afghan nationals while an average of 40,000 American veterans are homeless

I’ll start by saying, I am a service-connected disabled veteran who, for decades, fought the Department of Veterans Affairs to get the rating I earned due to injuries received while serving in the United States Army.
I have no respect or lost love for VA, and I would never allow them to touch me. They are a failed bureaucracy and no better than a bad socialized medicine experiment.
On September 8th, 2021, I received an email from VA asking if I wanted to support the resettlement of so-called Afghan allies and other “vulnerable” Afghan refugees. They got my attention.
I read the blog entry written by an individual name Andy Martinez. This individual identifies him or herself, as the Partnerships and Agreements advisor for VA’s Veterans Experience Office. Never heard of it.
After reading their Mission Statement, this is nothing more than federalized community organizing and has nothing to do with veteran’s care. I was actually surprised to see the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization, among others, listed as a resource.
I am a Life Member of the DAV, and while I was fighting the VA, they never helped me during my appeal process, but here they are offering their services to Afghans.
The VA is completely disconnected from reality. We have a daily average of 40,000 homeless veterans in the United States, but they are concerned about unvetted Afghan refugees. You can’t not make this stuff up because they are putting in out in writing.
The VA, instead of helping our own homeless veterans, they want you and me to finance the relocation of Afghan citizens. These people are insane.
I am thankful to the Afghan people who helped our troops defend “their” country. After all, it is their country, not ours. It was their responsibility to build their own nation while it was our responsibility to take out the perpetrators and masterminds of September 11th.
We don’t owe them a thing. It is up to them to rebuild their country and to establish a viable government. Unfortunately, the Biden Administration botched our withdrawal and the orderly transfer of power.
The Afghan president left the country with millions of dollars, the ones he could hand carry, and the terrorist organization known as the Taliban took over the country, again.
Still, and despite the ugly realities of war, we don’t need to bring to the United States people we don’t know anything about while our own are sleeping on the streets. It is impossible for the United States government to know all these individuals and anything to the contrary is just a flat out lie.
I will like to ask the VA Secretary the following. Why other Muslim countries in the region are not stepping in to take these refugees? They share the same cultural and religious values, so it would be a much easier transition.
For the VA to be asking me to assist in the relocation of Afghans while an estimated 40,000 American veterans go homeless on daily basis, it is an insult to those of us who served this country.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is a disgraced and they should be ashamed for even suggesting such nonsense.
Listening to Joe Biden weasel his way through, on national television, talking about the United States exit from Afghanistan was laughable.
This man is the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces and immediately he wanted to justify his incompetent handling of the Afghan mission by blaming former President Trump. President Trump negotiated a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan because that’s what he promised the American people.
It was up to Joe Biden, the newly elected president, to implement such policy. He failed because he didn’t care.
Just a few months ago, he was bragging about how the Afghan military was such a well trained and equipped fighting force. Well, because Biden’s lack of planning and foolishness, the Taliban has taken over the country and the Afghan Army is nowhere to be found.
Biden couldn’t even take responsibility and kept referring to the “troops”. Since when the Democrats have ever cared about the troops? Nancy Pelosi called our military “Storm Troopers”.
For 20 years our military did their job in Afghanistan, including 8 of those years under the Obama administration, and the Democrats never cared one bit. For the Democrats and the career politicians it was a forgotten war.
To use the troops as the reason for leaving Afghanistan is an insult to the thousands of soldiers who gave their lives in this conflict. We are hastily leaving Afghanistan because the Biden administration underestimated the Taliban and wasn’t prepared for such take over and collapsed of the Afghan government.
The Biden administration was more concerned about flying the LGBTQ flag in a Muslim country and they lost complete control of the reality on the ground.
While our military leaders were worried about which soldier voted for President Trump, which soldiers were wearing MAGA hats, or teaching Critical Race Theory to our fighting force, the Taliban was taking over the country province by province, right under Joe Biden’s nose.
The failure in Afghanistan is under Joe Biden’s watch, and he’s right, the buck stops with him. It is time to stop blaming President Trump for his administration’s failures.
I am pleased our troops are leaving this western attempt at nation building and American assimilation, but under the Biden administration our troops are leaving in disgrace. Not only we are leaving behind a failed state, but we have equipped the Taliban with our own military equipment and installations.
If you think Russia and China are not watching, think again. They will fill the vacuum left behind by the Biden administration and no amount of tough talk by Biden will change that fact. The United States is a weak country and President’s Putin and Xi know it.
Watching the Taliban taking over Kabul was not only embarrassing but it will be a forever reminder of the American failure in Afghanistan.
