Biden puts his base, lefties and black nationalists, first and America last. No responsible leader who cares about American lives would have done this. And had Trump or any Republican president done this, the media would be having a fit about putting celebrities with special access ahead of national security.
Meanwhile, Paul Whelan, a former Marine, who is the wrong race, white, the wrong sexual orientation and sex, was left behind by Biden.
That’s equity for you.
The Biden administration didn’t even try negotiating with Russia for the release of anti-American WNBA pothead Brittney Griner, just offered Victor Bout straight up.
Who’s Bout? A very, very bad guy.
Bout was convicted of conspiracy to kill US citizens and officials, deliver anti-aircraft missiles and provide aid to a terrorist organisation.
During Bout’s trial, which began on 12 October, prosecutors said the weapons had been intended to arm the group against what Bout had called a common enemy: US forces supporting the Colombian government.
In the opening statements of his trial the prosecution alleged that Bout had agreed to deliver 100 surface-to-air missiles, 20,000 high-powered rifles and 10m rounds of ammunition to rebels in Colombia in 2008.
They told the jury that Bout had been told the weapons would be used to target US pilots working with Colombian officials.
Prosecutors say Bout replied: “We have the same enemy.”
And then there are the alleged Hezbollah ties.
That changed, he said, by the time Bout met with Hezbollah guerrilla leaders in Lebanon in 2006. That meeting apparently led to the delivery of late Soviet-era anti-tank weapons and rocket propelled grenades. Hezbollah immediately used these weapons in the summer 2006 war with Israel.
And then there’s Al Qaeda.
One of Bout’s first known missions on behalf of an al Qaeda-related entity occurred during the Bosnian War. In 1992, Sudan, which was then a hotbed for jihadism, helped arrange shipments of weapons to the Third World Relief Agency (TWRA), which was arming jihadists in Bosnia.
The TWRA is one of those organizations that defies common myths about al Qaeda and how it has operated. On TWRA’s board sat Wael Julaidan, a co-founder of al Qaeda, and Hassan Cengic, a Bosnian official who served as an Iranian intelligence agent and organized arms shipments from Tehran. Meanwhile, the TWRA received tens of millions of dollars from Saudi sources, including the royal family.
Hope Brittney being able to jeer the anthem while smoking pot here is worth the innocent lives this will cost. The media keeps going on about Republicans helping Putin, they and their puppet just gave Putin his biggest win yet. And Biden has also incentivized hostage-taking by enemy regimes.

Just look upon Biden and his handlers as traitors to America, whether about what this article says—or the southern border—or spending trillions that America does not have—or still sucking up to the despicable Iranian regime which most Iranians themselves want gone—or repeatedly dissing our only real ally in the Middle East, Israel—or waging an immensely foolish war upon fossil fuels—or pushing all the transgenderism rot, —or…or…or…
Nothing the decrepit Biden has done has been a positive for America, and this includes sending billions of dollars to Ukraine without any accountability. Everything Dementia Joe does adds up to an eff-up.
Yes, I look upon the dementia-ridden Joe Biden as a traitor, but first and foremost I look upon the “puppet-master,” one Barack Obama, as the ultimate traitor and who is now, effectively, in his third term doing his best to ruin the greatest polity of all time. And Democrats virtually without exception are just fine with all of this (or willfully ignorant of what is occurring and which adds up to the same thing), all the while the leadership of the Republican Party, dolts like McConnell and McCarthy, keep proving again and again that while the Democratic Party is the dangerous party the Republican Party is the stupid party.
Dangerous or stupid. This is what we have in contemporary America. Choose your poison.
America is sinking fast. Very fast. Pretty much next up: A war on Christianity for not approving of gay marriages. Best to count on this rather than not doing so. A new dark age has indeed begun.

I wonder who will write the book “The Decline and Fall of the United States of America?”
“The further society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.”

Westman says
What great timing. Victor Bout likely has connections to help vacuum up some old Russian arms, some new ones, and some fighters for the Ukraine-Russia war.
A basketball player, who can’t live up to the drug use standards of an athlete, sets in motion the release of an arms and mercenary dealer who will likely cause the loss of human lives, some of whom will be Americans. Strategically, Putin made an X > 1 gain where X is the number of lives Victor Bout will cost his enemies.

Griner is a privileged American. She is, after all, a professional athlete nd a lesbian.
However, my guess is that Viktor Bout has also been pumped for a lot of information by now.
@Wellington: Agreed that everything Zhou Baideng has done is an eff-up. I name hims Zhou Baideng (周拜邓–Joe who worships Deng Xiaoping of 06/04/89 infamy due to our senile POTUS’ threats of F-15’s and tanks against the opposition).

According to one channel Putin offered Griner or no-one. Biden of course accepted with alacrity because Griner ticked the boxes. Coloured. Lesbian. High profile. Hates her homeland.

And no doubt will be welcomed as a hero by that turd in the white house.
Dementia Joe probably doesn’t even know who she is. He was simply told she likes ice cream and has great smelling hair.

I was watching a report on Rob Schmitt on Newsmax, that showed an excerpt of a Russian TV show, w/ sub-titles. One of the Russian female panelists, yakking it up, noted (apparently about Whalen), “His first problem is that he is White, his second problem is that he is a man, and his third problem is that he is heterosexual”, ending that w/ a smirk. In other words, obviously the Russians don’t think that Whalen was off the table
You can count on this administration to make the worst decisions for this country 2024 can’t come soon enough
PRCS says
Hard to express sympathy for either of them.
Most know who/what she is (a black, lesbian basketball player who hates America).
The former Marine:
After a court-martial conviction in January 2008 on multiple counts “related to larceny”, he was sentenced to 60 days restriction, reduction to pay grade E-4, and a bad conduct discharge.The specific charges against him included “attempted larceny, three specifications of dereliction of duty, making a false official statement, wrongfully using another’s social security number, and ten specifications of making and uttering checks without having sufficient funds in his account for payment.
Heads or tails?

I almost vomited when I saw this on the news.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden with his politically correct ideology along with his PC administration would choose such character as Graner instead of the right choice of having Paul Whelan to be freed.
For Biden and his administration are an abomination to everything that is wise, good .fair decent and just.
Walter Sieruk says
To put that above statement in a different way.
Everything politically correct Joe Biden and his PC administration does an abomination to everything that is wise, good and right
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden by this, is ,again, showing his true colors, Which are Red and Green meaning that of the Red/Green alliance’
That is the Communist- Islamic alliance.

Victor Bout was arrested in Bangkok Thailand and charged with selling weapons to countries that America didnt sell the SAME weapons too, therefore they say he is worse than the actual American Military Industrial Complex, whereas Mr Kasshoggi a Saudi Citizen who lives in N.California for decades and he is THE largest Freelance Arms Dealer the World has ever known… So why is a Russian Arms Dealer in prison in America, a country he has never even been in, and Kasshogii lives First Class with his own Plane sitting at San Francisco Airport.
This Basketball player DUDE broke the Laws of Russia and cries meanwhile HE refused to even stand for the USA Anthem.
This US Government is the worse of the worse ever.
