Today, we remember and honor those who were killed in the disastrously planned Afghanistan Retrograde three years ago. We mourn the 13 killed at Abbey Gate. We pray for their families. We are grateful for their service and the service of those grievously wounded in that terrorist bombing. In a magnificently moving ceremony, President Trump, the families and honored guests placed three wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetary to remember this sacrifice.
I will share that respectful and magnificent memorial with you, but first, I want to remind you that Kamala Harris has no schedule for today and Joe Biden is on Rehoboth Beach today. As our Carol wrote, Trump just wants to stop us from killing ourselves. On the other hand, Biden and Harris are warmongers douches who don’t care. Disgusting filth.
The intern on Presidenting Duty at the White House put out a statement in Joe’ name:

Somebody woke up in Kamala Harris’s office and decided put out a statement too.
Three years ago today, outside of Kabul Airport, an ISIS terrorist killed 13 American servicemembers and more than 100 innocent Afghans, and wounded many more. Thirteen American heroes were taken from us on that day: Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Darin T. Hoover. Marine Corps Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo. Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. Gee. Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez. Marine Corps Cpl. Daegan W. Page. Marine Corps Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui. Navy Petty Officer Third Class Maxton W. Soviak. Army Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss.
Today and everyday, I mourn and honor them. My prayers are with their families and loved ones. My heart breaks for their pain and their loss. These 13 devoted patriots represent the best of America, putting our beloved nation and their fellow Americans above themselves and deploying into danger to keep their fellow citizens safe.
Today, I am also thinking about all our servicemembers who served in America’s longest war—including 2,461 who made the ultimate sacrifice and 20,744 who were wounded. Over the course of nearly two decades, they served selflessly and bravely to protect the American people and our homeland. I will never forget meeting many of them on a trip to Afghanistan as a U.S. Senator. These American servicemembers possessed extraordinary skill, discipline, and dedication. I had then, and will always have, immense pride in their service and in the strength, courage, and excellence of the U.S. military, the greatest fighting force the world has ever known.
I will fulfill our sacred obligation to care for our troops and their families and I will always honor their service and sacrifice.
As I have said, President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war. Over the past three years, our Administration has demonstrated we can still eliminate terrorists, including the leaders of al-Qaeda and ISIS, without troops deployed into combat zones. I will never hesitate to take whatever action necessary to counter terrorist threats and protect the American people and the homeland.
On this solemn day, let us come together as one nation to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice three years ago on behalf of the United States and our cherished freedoms. Our grateful nation mourns and salutes them.
In their memory, let us re-dedicate ourselves to the cause they gave their lives for: to protect and defend the greatest democracy on Earth, the United States of America.
Oy vey. If they had wanted to honor anyone’s service they would have shown up at Arlington today. It’s not like they are doing anything else important.

I probably didn’t get all of them, but I saw Congressmen Darrel Issa, Brian Mast, Michael Waltz, Cory Mills and Anna Paulina Luna. Also paying respect were Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard, Lt. General Keith Kellog and Captain Hung Cao.
The first wreath was placed for Marine Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover by his family and President Trump. The second wreath was placed for Sergeant Nicole Gee by her family and President Trump. The third wreath was placed in honor of the 13 killed at Abbey Gate by Corporal Kelsee Lainhart and Sergeant Tyler Vargas Andrews along with President Trump.
I thought it was beautiful and moving. Of course Jim Acosta put a fly in my morning Pinot Grigio:
He is so constipated, he probably shits lead. Speaking of constipation, Trump didn’t run to hop on Trump Force One, he hung around with the families. This person didn’t care for his thumbs up.
I visited Arlington only once. It’s a solemn and quiet place where heroes rest. The entire atmosphere is one of reverence and reflection. I cannot imagine how anyone could give the thumbs up at the grave of fallen war dead. This is a line I didn’t even Trump would cross. pic.twitter.com/PO96esxNx9

I like Nicole’s family member and the “ROCK” sign. Somebody’s rhubarb is always going to be rubbed the wrong way.
Trump is now speaking at the National Guard Association Conference. He followed Kid Rock. “ROCK”!

Scott says: No surprise that the two fools who hate America, and are responsible for the deaths of these 13 brave servicemen and women don’t want to show up to honor them. First, they don’t give a rats ass about them or their families, they’re just some of the “eggs” that need to be broken to make the socialist “omelet”.. and second, they are rightfully frightened that someone might ask serious questions about their culpability in the deaths.. Can’t have facts getting in the way of the narrative.
rbj1 says: Great, we have a puppet president who can’t even do puppet shows anymore.
Edward Lunny says: “Today, we remember and honor those who were killed…..”
Well some.of us do, many of us remember. Many of us remember that day. Some people didn’t care then and today can’t be bothered. They won’t take the time to recall and remember those tragic events. We also remember the incompetence, the refusal to take responsibility, a refusal and lie that continues to this day. The biden administration couldn’t and cannot show even a minimum concern or sorrow for what they did. They are incapable of such feelings, incapable of recognizing what had been lost due solely to their ignorance and gross incompetence. When people tell you who and what they are, as in this one of many such instances, believe them. They are every bit the evil cretins they demonstrate with such behaviors. Every bit.
Fyrfighter says: And neither Miley or Austin stepped up and resigned due to that shit show, so they are equally responsible.. their protestations that biden didn’t follow their suggestions are meaningless if they didn’t have the balls to resign over it.. Fuck them one and all as traitors!
Word today is that President Trump was there at the invitation of the families. Which makes sense – do you invite the drunk driver that killed your family to a memorial for them?
Perhaps another wreath should be laid somewhere for the innocent Afghan family that they killed after the Gate Fiasco in an attempt to look “tough.” (Even if they had been the next bombers – it would have been same old tactic of killing the privates that the generals don’t give a fig about. As opposed to the legitimate President showing the Taliban leaders pictures of their lairs.)
[…] entire Arlington National Cemetery story is a media creation that is being continued by the media, in service to the Democrats and Kamala […]
