Incompetence or intentional?
I say, a mix of both. Uncle Joe droned innocent Afghan civilians and told us they were ISIS-K terrorists, Uncle Joe didn’t congratulate SpaceX and the crew of Inspiration4, Uncle Joe is vacationing in Delaware while the Southern Border is dealing with an invasion of illegal aliens and the “border czar,” Ms. “Joker-cackle” is nowhere to be found, Traitor Milley is somehow still holding on to his job, the law enforcement loses track of the sole person-of-interest in Gabby Petito’s case, the media and the “experts” are still clamoring for booster shots even though the FDA has rejected the proposal. In some cases, it’s plain stupidity of the people in charge, while in others, like the migrant madness at the border, it’s more intentional in order to benefit the Uniparty.
The big stories
Each and every top official in Biden administration lied about the “ISIS-K" drone strike. In a bid to look tough, Sleepy Joe ordered a strike against what turned out to be a U.S. aid worker and his family, including 7 kids! Now we understand why the Pentagon was so tight-lipped about the identities of the “ISIS-K planners” they were telling us they killed.
Thank you, Papa Elon and the incredible folks at SpaceX! If you haven’t already, watch the Inspiration4 launch here and the splashdown here. Also, as if all that Elon has done for humanity so far wasn’t enough, there’s this:
So, where’s Gabby and now, where’s Brian? This case just keeps getting weirder every day! Follow live updates here.
