Al Jazeera is mocking the United States, saying that the Taliban was "very much welcoming" to journalists and was "actively asking for more questions" while Democrat President Joe Biden "slammed his book shut, took no questions and walked out of the room." pic.twitter.com/KOVqmhRt6S

I don't see why this is surprising or controversial (realizing that Mr. Prosobiec makes his living as a dramatist).will25u said:Did the Qatari Air Force fly the Taliban's leaders back to Afghanistan on their C-17? https://t.co/EW0FnbeShq

Hannity just said the flight out had 7 people on it. Taliban won't let people into the airport, so much for 9k a day

Pallets of cash delivery order has been cancelled.
The choice of those that run the national media and most of those in the Beltway bar about half the Republicans.TChaney said:
There have been some powerful pictures in this event.
Bodies falling from the sky, people dead in the streets, panic and mayhem.
None of them disgust me more than this one.

The White House has lifted the lid issued earlier today and is calling the press pool back for the president to return to the White House at 8:40 p.m. from Camp David.

(A lid essentially means the president won't be seen for the rest of the day and the press pool can go home.)

Qatar is a well known supporter of political Islamist movements (Muslim Brotherhood, Taliban etc).
Certain Taliban leaders have been residing in Doha as guests of the Qatari Emir for several years now where they meet with the Americans among others.
Taliban has won the war so now their hosts / allies are flying them home.
If it was secret it wouldn't be on Flightradar24.

Hannity seemed alarmed tonight. Taliban blocking access to airport with "taliban ring." No one can get to the airport. Estimates are that 15k to 40k Americans trapped in Afghanistan. Taliban going door to door searching for westerners. Trump interview also included.
Usually the smoke is exposed with Fox and commentators like Hannity then we discover there is fire.

Ashura day or the mourning of Muhram, a Shia celebration where they mourn the death of the grandchild of prophet Muhammad. Has nothing to do with the Taliban, Shias are already persecuted under the Taliban they won’t be celebrating it 😂😭

https://whoishussain.org/who-is-hussain/the-day-of-ashura/Quote:
The Day of Ashura is mourned and remembered by millions of people across the world as the day Hussain and his supporters were killed in The Battle of Karbala. Today, pilgrims from all across the world visit the shrine of Hussain ibn Ali in Karbala where he is buried, to pay their tribute to his courageous stand.
On the day of Ashura many Muslims partake in large peaceful gatherings where they recite poems in memory of Hussain and his sacrifice whilst lamenting and beating their chest as a cultural tradition to display their grievance.
We once again have blood on our hands. I have friends on the ground in Afghanistan and the Taliban is now rounding up government employees and executing them. In Kandahar area for sure...more intel coming.
