America Last

Yesterday, the left-wing Washington Post warned that while Biden and other administration officials are rattling off all kinds of stats regarding the evacuations out of Kabul, they have been deliberately obfuscating the most important numbers: The number of Americans who have been evacuated and the number of Americans who still remain in Afghanistan, trapped behind Taliban lines.

We're finally getting some hard numbers, and the scale of this disaster is coming into focus.

According to a Pentagon briefing yesterday, nearly 64,000 people have been evacuated from the Kabul airport. Of those 64,000, just over 4,000 were American citizens. If you do the math, that means a little over 6% of the total evacuees out of Afghanistan are Americans. 

Biden took our troops out of Afghanistan before he secured the safety of American civilians.  Then he was forced to send troops back in. Now he's taking Afghans out before he gets Americans out!

This is what an "America Last" policy looks like. 

Our media talking heads, leftist professors, the Hollywood crowd and some GOP elites got really upset over a president who dared to put "America First." I guess they prefer an "America Last" policy, and clearly Joe Biden is their man.

Steel yourselves, my friends. The Daily Caller reports that "internal government figures" suggest as many as 5,200 Americans could be stranded in Afghanistan after August 31st.

That sad fact was confirmed by a "secret mission" recently conducted by two members of Congress, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) and Peter Meijer (R-MI). 

As veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Moulton and Meijer were stunned by Biden's surrender to the Taliban and shocked by the images we have all seen on TV. So, they secretly flew to Kabul to see firsthand what the situation truly was. 

Here's an excerpt of a statement they released after they returned:

"As Members of Congress, we have a duty to provide oversight on the executive branch. There is no place in the world right now where oversight matters more. . . Washington should be ashamed of the position we put our service members in. . .

"After talking with commanders on the ground and seeing the situation here, it is obvious that because we started the evacuation so late, that no matter what we do, we won't get everyone out on time, even by September 11. Sadly and frustratingly, getting our people out depends on maintaining the current, bizarre relationship with the Taliban."
