Former GOP Congressman Speaks Out On DeSantis' Rejection Of Mask Mandates
These Governors are not undercutting local decisions, they're undercutting medical decisions. If your doctor gave you a prescription for your illness but as you left his office your governor snatched your prescription away and handed you something he thought you should take instead, would you take it? If so, then why did you even bother to go see a doctor? If you have a heart attack head for city hall and get hold of a politician eh? LOL

The terrible thing is, as long as the rest of the world is available for the virus to mutate, our efforts could easily be lost to a new variation. Unless a "
full court press" worldwide is mounted against the virus our localized efforts may be wasted.

Easy for India to talk about Joe Biden's "failures" when they don't have to come up with the thousands of lives and billions of additional dollars and years needed to do things "right". Who expected the "president" to leave Kabul with so much money he had to leave some on the tarmac because it wouldn't fit onboard? But hey, I'm willing to listen to news from around the world because I don't believe any country tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

They kept lying to all comers and Joe Biden refused to hear it anymore. He decided to do what he thought was right given the situation he was handed and he shut his ears to all the face-saving lies being bandied about.
This Morning’s Top Headlines – August 17 | Morning News NOW
China is likely to be put off by bad Taliban behavior so I think the Taliban will value their Chinese connections enough to avoid bad optics. We'll see. While on the other hand the Taliban would hardly want to set off such a bad taste in the world that China might be tempted to start a "peacekeeping mission" to Afganistan, with a 5 million man highly disciplined and motivated military China would be a fearsome competitor if such a thing should arise.
Former AG Holder On Whether Trump Should Be ‘Held Accountable'
We also need to know if this rogue president sold us out to line his own pockets, after he pulled out on the Kurds we learned that he had the property under Erdogan's thumb, so what happened there? Nor do we still have any real knowledge of how Trump's other foreign financial entanglements played out in his administration. But we do find he had financial interests in many of the debacles he created, for example, "Trump Tower Moscow" was a dream of his we only learned of later after he lied about his connections with Russia.

...And so ends the Bush-era promoted adventure at nation-building without a clue or a plan as to how to best go about it. That PNAC dream of establishing an unaccountable "Global Constabulary astride the world", fails as miserably as it was predicted it would. It's too bad that we were mislead by such lunacy again and again until we have little credibility left on the world stage. Nor are we finished yet, we've still a long way to go if we are to reestablish America as a world leader for human rights and individual freedom. As it is now we're badly damaged, Biden is suffering the terrible decisions made decades ago.
Taliban now in full control over the Afghan government | DW News
Too bad we couldn't get some other countries to help evacuate Afghanistan ahead of the takeover, but the back and forth over "stay/don't stay" probably damaged any effort to properly plan any exit.
Trump hollowed out the governments' experts, thus there just weren't enough qualified people with experience in evacuations, to plan a proper exit even if given sufficient time.
It certainly would be a good thing if we here in America would think twice before letting another Republican administration lead us into another unnecessary war without good and sufficient limits and a well defined mission. At least better defined than to "establish an unaccountable global constabulary astride the world." --(to paraphrase the "Project for the New American Century").

It was a fool's errand from the start and something had to be done. The faith and credibility needed to even attempt to do a good job was lost during the Trump years that tarnished America's image worldwide. While much of the state department's expertise was driven out by Trump's effort to stack the decks with sycophants.
