Joe Biden Walks Away from Questions About the Thousands of Americans Still Stranded in Afghanistan

WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 16: U.S. President Joe Biden walks away without taking questions after delivering remarks on the worsening crisis in Afghanistan from the East Room of the White House August 16, 2021 in Washington, DC.

President Joe Biden again walked away from White House reporters asking him questions about thousands of Americans still stranded in Afghanistan on Monday.

The president delivered a speech at the White House about the coronavirus vaccine getting full approval from the Food and Drug Administration, urging everyone to get vaccinated.

He did not mention the crisis in Afghanistan once in his speech and left without taking questions.

“Do you know how many Americans are left in Afghanistan sir?” one reporter asked as Biden walked away.

He did not stop to respond to the question.

The Biden administration still can not put a number on the Americans stuck in the country.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said he was unwilling to go into detail, even as the administration promises they are getting more Americans out of the country.

When asked by reporters if he was being intentionally vague, Kirby replied, “I’m just going to leave it at several thousand.

It is unclear whether or not Biden can get all Americans out of Afghanistan before the August 31 deadline for withdrawal.

“The president believes we are making substantial progress,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said, adding they were consulting the Taliban on “every aspect” of the evacuation process.

Biden Administration Erased Afghan Weapons Reports From Federal Websites
Forbes ^ | Aug 31, 2021 | Adam Andrzejewski Senior Contributor
Posted on 8/31/2021, 10:19:57 PM by 11th_VA

The War in Afghanistan has always been a black box, but the Biden administration just made matters worse.

According to an admission obtained from the State Department, Biden officials recently directed federal agencies to scrub their websites of official reports detailing the $82.9 billion in military equipment and training provided to the Afghan security forces since 2001.

The scrubbed audits and reports included detailed accounting of what the U.S. had provided to Afghan forces, down to the number of night vision devices, hand grenades, Black Hawk helicopters, and armored vehicles.

Reports further quantified 208 aircraft and helicopters; 75,000 war vehicles – including 22 Humvees, 50,000 tactical vehicles and nearly 1,000 mine resistant vehicles; and 600,000 weapons – including 350,000 M4 and M16 rifles, 60,000 machine guns, and 25,000 grenade launchers.

The State Department admitted to removing the reports but justified the move as a way to protect Afghan allies. According to a spokesperson:

“The safety of our Afghan contacts is of utmost importance to us. The State Department advised other federal agencies of to [sic] review their web properties for content that highlights cooperation/participation between an Afghan citizen and the USG or a USG partner and remove from public view if it poses a security risk.”

It’s worth noting that the Biden administration already put these partners at risk when officials provided lists of Afghan nationals to the Taliban in a misguided attempt to clear them for evacuation. The Taliban, a known terrorist organization with a history of murdering Afghan citizens working alongside U.S. forces, should never have been trusted with those names...

After a 20 minute speech in which he used (unconstitutional) executive power to force private companies to impose Covid vaccines, President Biden left without taking questions.  I guess "they" would not let him answer questions.  Again.

White House Reporters File Formal Complaint Against Biden For Refusing To Answer Questions
By  Ryan Saavedra
Sep 21, 2021   DailyWire.com

The White House press pool filed a formal complaint against Democrat President Joe Biden for refusing to answer questions from American media about the multiple crises that have erupted under his regime.

The complaint came as Biden met with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the Oval Office, which comes after Biden angered the British with his disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.

“[President] Biden and British PM [Boris Johnson] meet to discuss pandemic, trade and other issues,” CBS News reporter Ed O’Keefe tweeted. “Johnson took 3 questions. White House aides shouted down U.S. attempts to ask questions. I asked Biden about southern border and we couldn’t decipher what he said.”

Some of these reporters don't understand they are just props?

The official talking points go directly to(or from?) big tech and social media platforms.

That's why they are quoting Twitter as their sources. These people aren't really that bright.

Politico calls out Biden for not doing interviews: 'Reflects the bunker mentality this White House has taken'

Politico is calling out President Biden for his lack of availability to do one-on-one interviews with the press.

On Tuesday's installment of its "West Wing Playbook" newsletter, Politico reporters Alex Thompson and Tina Sfondeles began by highlighting that Biden has only participated in "just 10" interviews in the first nine months of his presidency, not one since Labor Day.

His tally pales in comparison to the 57 interviews Donald Trump had done as well as Barack Obama's 131 interviews at the same point in their presidencies, according to the "presidential watcher" and former CBS reporter Mark Knoller. They also note that Biden had done "at least double" the interviews at this point in the Obama era as vice president.

"Biden’s team is quick to note that he often takes questions from reporters after he does events. Allies of the president are even quicker to note that no one outside of the Washington press corps really cares about press access," Politico wrote. "But the lack of interviews reflects the bunker mentality this White House has taken with the media — particularly the extensive back-and-forths where reporters can follow-up, push, and prod."

"Biden has been especially wary of talking to print publications; he has yet to do an interview with reporters from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, or Reuters," the newsletter added.

What a fraud.

It amazes me that people still believe he's in charge of anything.

He's just a spokesman.

A puppet.

We've been doing this since WW2.

There are tons of equipment still in Korea and Vietnam.

I am just hoping the stock market usually knows the future before all of us.  So maybe the midterms is being counted for?
