Here’s the Democrat governor of Hawaii;
July 1, 2021 – The US abandoned Bagram Airfield. Here’s an AP report from July 6, 2021, “The U.S. left Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left, Afghan military officials said.”
August 15, 2021 – So, the suicide bomber who killed US troops on August 25, 2021 outside Abbey Gate was freed when the Taliban overran Bagram Airfield on August 15, 2021. Here’s an Axios headline from August 15th: Thousands of prisoners freed by Taliban could pose threat to U.S.
August 25, 2021 – A suicide bomber, who was released from Bagram Airfield, when the US just slipped away at night without even telling Afghan officials and then the Taliban overran Bagram Airfield, killed 13 American servicemembers outside Kabul Airport at Abbey Gate.
The Biden administration relied on the Taliban for security outside the Kabul airport before the suicide bomber attack. Then, even after that attack, where 13 American servicemembers were killed, the Biden administration was still trusting the Taliban for security. A few days ago, John Kirby, a Biden White House spokesperson said, “There wasn’t much that could’ve been done to prevent that attack from coming, as tragic as it was.”
The US military has over a century of reviewing military operations and relies on a Lessons Learned approach, to carefully review military operations and figure out what went right, what went wrong, who and what were responsible for problems, hold people accountable, then apply those lessons learned to enhance performance and prevent those mistakes being made again. If no one even has the integrity to honestly assess failures and hold anyone accountable, then assuredly those same mistakes will be made again.
With this disaster in Maui, I expect, Democrats and the liberal media are going to do the same spin game and lie, lie, lie, make excuses, attack anyone who questions their lies and insist the people asking questions are the problem. And instead of the Kirby shrug, “there wasn’t much that could’ve been done, ” with this wildfire disaster, Democrats and the liberal media are going to blame – climate change…
All the bizarre, Biden, “No Comment!” and Obama waiting almost a week to make a statement, and the efforts to keep the media away from Maui, I’m beginning to think were because Hawaii officials and Biden FEMA officials already knew the death toll was shockingly high and are trying to figure out ways to spin it away.
Climate change will be the explanation, not failing to set off alarms to warn people or delaying in getting water there or maintaining the power lines – Climate change….
Note: I added a bit to this post after initially posting it, to try to clarify that Afghanistan timeline more – we abandoned Bagram without even notifying the Afghan military, then the Taliban overran Bagram and released all the prisoners, then one of those prisoners launched a suicide bomber attack outside Kabul Airport, which killed 13 Americans (and over a 100 Afghans)… all while the Biden administration was trusting the Taliban to keep its word and with providing security around the Kabul airport.
This is very much like Dems with their “defund the police” efforts and we’re not supposed to notice all these criminals that they release, who are committing serious crimes. We’re supposed to pretend their “Defund the Police” insanity has nothing to do with the crime explosion happening in areas that embraced these very policies.
There was a news article I saw yesterday about a Chicago alderwoman backing an idea proposed by some group, begging, gangbangers to refrain from shooting from 9 am to 9 pm:
“A Chicago politician and community group are so desperate to stem gun violence in the Windy City they’ve come up with a plan that sounds like it was inspired by “The Purge” — begging people to simply not fire their weapons for 12 hours a day,
Alderwoman Maria Hadden shared in a recent newsletter a proposal by the group Native Sons, which urges Chicagoans to hold off on shooting their firearms from the hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. when people are more at risk of getting caught in the middle of the crossfire.”

People in Chicago keep supporting the far-left policies on crime and the “Defund the Police” movement and they keep electing incompetent officials. You’ll hear excuses and more excuses, but never any willingness to admit that their policies failed or demand for any accountability whatsoever.
Maui is going to be the same Democrat response – zero accountability.
