New in PJ Media:
The story of the Biden regime’s catastrophic bungling of the withdrawal of Afghanistan just keeps getting worse. On Tuesday, Simone Ledeen, who served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East during the Trump administration and was involved in the evacuation, testified that some of the Afghans whom Old Joe and his henchmen brought into the United States after the fall of Kabul had been discovered to be on a Defense Department watchlist for emplacing Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Once again, as it has done in so many other ways as well, the regime has put a time bomb in place that could cause untold numbers of Americans immense suffering in the future.
We already knew that many, if not most, of the Afghans whom Biden’s handlers brought into the country were an unknown quantity from a land where terrorism is common. As far back as Sept. 2021, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas explained that most of the Afghans who had been brought over here were not holders of Special Immigrant Visas (SIV), which were issued to people who helped the U.S. in Afghanistan. “Of the over 60,000 individuals who have been brought into the United States” at that time, Mayorkas said, “and I will give you approximate figures and I will verify them, approximately 7 percent have been United States citizens. Approximately 6 percent have been lawful permanent residents. Approximately 3 percent have been individuals who are in receipt of the Special Immigrant Visas.” Yes, just three percent.
So who are the people who have been brought to this country? At least some of them are trouble. Breitbart reported Wednesday that among the “planeloads of unvetted Afghans” who have been brought to the U.S., there are “some who were known improvised explosive device (IED) emplacers.” Ledeen testified to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence: “Those first couple of planes that took off from Kabul airport were full of people who had not been vetted and subsequent vetting showed that actually, some of them were, you know, had emplaced IEDs and they appeared on our biometrics [database]. So, I have very grave concerns about this.”
Ledeen added in a written statement that “a Department of Defense whistleblower has alleged that 324 individuals evacuated from Afghanistan were allowed to enter the U.S. despite appearing on the Defense Department’s Biometrically Enabled Watchlist (BEWL).” The possibilities for disaster here cannot be overstated. And wait, it gets even worse. Some Afghan evacuees have already been arrested in the United States, often for offenses that aren’t considered crimes in Afghanistan.
There is more. Read the rest here.

So right that “The possibilities for disaster here cannot be overstated.” Even congenital liar Mayorkas admits that SIV holders are, at most, only 3%?

Every Muslim our government brought here in that “heroic” airlift brought the same thing with them: Islam.
Some don’t know much about their “faith”. Some do know and obfuscate the truth.
Either way, Islam (a totalitarian theocracy) has no legitimate place here.
How many Muslim women–after fleeing The Islamic Republic of Islam–ditched Islam since arriving here?

This, as but one of the article’s lists of offenses committed by Afghan “refugees” in our country:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10436961/Afghan-refugee-convicted-assaulting-girl-3-Quantico.html
Refugee, 24, who worked alongside US troops in Afghanistan is convicted of sexually assaulting girl, 3, while they were both housed at Quantico after being evacuated to America when the Taliban took over
“Mohammed Tariq, 24, was convicted of sexually assaulting a three-year-old girl
The refugee and the victim, who are not related, were both evacuated from Afghanistan during the Taliban takeover
Federal jury heard the abusive sexual contact took place Camp Upshur in Quantico, Virginia
Tariq tried to claim via interpreters his conduct was acceptable in his culture
Efforts to have his statements suppressed were rejected by the judge!

I’ve read of cases in countries under Merkel’s Wir Schaffen Das fatwa where the judge ruled that lack of understanding of cultural norms rendered the rape charge moot.

There is no surprise here. The taliban were given control over the city and they decided who could get inside the gates to the airport and who could get on the planes to leave.
Did anyone believe for a second that the taliban would allow those who wanted to be out of islam, out of the business of terror and who would not support their rule, to leave? They kept these captive so they would have plenty of blood to spill in the coming months and years.
The terror org…the taliban…sent their fellow terrorists to the country they want to destroy and the land they wish to rule.
Those terrorists who placed bombs on the roads that were travelled by the U.S. and other nation’s military, will be doing the same thing here if they are able. Imagine the targets they must see all around them.
Highways full of people in vehicles of every description, travelling innocently along, making personal choices about where they go and which roads to take. mozlums can’t stand for people to make personal choices and they lust to commit terrorism…to create fear in the hearts and minds of innocent people. They look for, and make, opportunities to murder for their false god and fake prophet.
OLD GUY says
It is hard to believe that a Country like ours, with all its high tech. and supposed highly educated leaders could F-UP a withdrawal of our military and civilians from a country we controlled for years. Was there no plan for withdrawing our people and equipment in place? Or did the Big Guy just pull the chain of command under out of the military leaders.

Not surprised, leave it to Biden Crime Family. Absolutely nothing surpasses the stupidity of making America last for Bidens and democrats.
