The Kabul NEO was a Total Failure
Via David
The end of our Afghanistan adventure is upon us and it is worse than the most pessimistic predictions on how the war would end. I have been writing since 2008 that there was only one way the Afghanistan conflict would end and that would be with an accommodation of the Taliban. I never imagined that the Taliban would sweep the board and help us extricate ourselves from the country in the most amateurish Non-Combatant Operation (NEO) every executed by the United States military.
I first got wind of the impending disaster on the 28th of July when a freelancer friend of mine asked if he could provide my contact information to a man in Zaranj, the capitol of Nimroz province, who wanted me to apply for a visa on his behalf. I checked with my former interpreter from Nimroz, now a resident of California, about the man in question and it turned out he was a resident of Zaranj, but had worked for the contractor GRS, not me. But I did learn about the new P1/P2 visa program which would open a route to the United States for all the Afghans who worked with me but were not interpreters.

Terrorists with Planes and Cranes
A lot has happened in the last 20 years. Reflecting on the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, aka the “Twin Towers” 20 years this week puts recent history into new perspective.
What did the Twin Towers represent to the terrorists? Perhaps their view of the essence of America – Capitalism.
The first terrorist salvo – Yankee soil. New York. The “Big Apple”. THE epicenter of money and commerce, arguably of the world.
So what has happened since that time? While the US military has been deployed in the Middle East in an effort to fight the “Global War on Terror” to prevent terrorists from bringing more terrorism to American soil, domestic terrorists have been continuing their activities at home. Perhaps, not in an obvious way.

Shaquille O’Neal Leaving Celebrity Status Behind: ‘These People Are Out of Their Freaking Mind’
“I came from nothing,” he said. “But, just because I made it doesn’t mean I’m bigger than you, smarter than you — just because I have more money doesn’t mean I’m better than you. I’ve never been that way and I never will be that way. So I don’t want to be in that category of people.
Shaquille O’Neal is done.
The four-time NBA champion and one of the greatest basketball players of all time renounced his celebrity status in an interview with the New York Post. The 7-foot-1 former Los Angeles Lakers superstar, who is also one of the most recognizable athletes, is done with the glitz and glamour.
“These celebrities are going freaking crazy and I don’t want to be one. I denounce my celebrity-ness today. I’m done with it,” he told the New York Post on Friday.

Covid 19
“But it’s only a small percentage” I have heard that phrase spoken so many times since Covid has started, it drives me nuts. I’ve heard it in regards to people dying of Covid, and I’ve heard it in regards to the Covid vaccine. I’m tired of the divide in this country being perpetuated by the media and government.
Our health should be our individual choices, the reason is clear, every persons body reacts to medication/vaccines differently. For anybody to insist or mandate that each persons body is the same, is ridiculous. It’s appropriate that this memory came up today, maybe it will help some people understand that while Paul may have been a small statistic, a side effect of one of the prescribed FDA approved drugs that he was taking, that he was a real person to all those people he loved. So the next time you want to say “but the statistic is low” to try to justify your position either way, please try to have some empathy and understanding for other people‘s experiences.
What happened to being able to ask questions and have informed consent? Isn’t that what medical freedom is about? Isn’t that what democracy is about? When did it become wrong as a society that we shun people for asking legitimate questions? Why are we being censored for asking questions? Not everybody has the time, or the know how to research information about Covid and/or the Covid vaccines, so please allow room for discussion, hear your family and friends out. It may not change your mind but what happened to a good debate? I remember in school we were taught to debate by being put on the side we did not necessarily believe in and trying to win our case by swaying the other side so that we could understand how to debate while being informative and NICE!
Now it just seems more often than not, people are just name calling instead of having discussions or providing Information. Sadly, there is a lot of miss information out there but you can find a lot of information and make your own assessment and you should try too! I will continue to speak up regarding information I have researched and it’s up to the person whether they want to listen to that message now, later or never. What is CRUCIAL is if you think you can save a life by speaking up, do it! Be part of the solution!

I Am Appalachian
Via Kimberly via Appalachian Americans
I Am Appalachian- Many generations are buried in this soil that have passed on; they have Lived, Loved and Died Appalachian. Some stayed in the mountains they called home and others left to try and have a better life for their families. But, they all have that something about them no matter where they may be. It's called pride, honesty and helping those in need. It's called Appalachian. This is where and what I come from. I am Appalachian.
