Biden State Department Refuses Americans at Kabul Airport

Of all the disturbing and heartbreaking stories coming out of Afghanistan this weekend, this might be the most infuriating of all.

Unexplainable and Unforgivable Two highly trusted sources, investigative reporter Lara Logan and Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who lost an eye in an IED explosion in Afghanistan, are independently reporting that over the past few days, Americans have been turned away from entering the Kabul airport. Logan tweeted this on Saturday:

Most Americans don’t understand what’s happening in Kabul — been on this all night with no end. U.S. citizens are fighting through enemy lines to get to the airport. When they show their blue passport to 82nd [Airborne] soldiers at the gate, many are turned away and sent back to the Taliban.

Later, she tweeted, “All that stands between these Americans and safety/home is the U.S. govt. and military.”

President Biden had supposedly sent the 82nd Airborne to Kabul to facilitate the mass evacuation. What in blazes is going on there?

Dan Crenshaw tweeted:

How much of this is bull ?

Probably all dual-citizenship people.

No way to tell the truth anymore.

This makes absolutely no sense. Even with my Machiavellian sensibilities, there is no motive for Biden to do this as every American killed or taken hostage hurts him. There is nothing for Biden to gain, just lose. The Radical Left must be setting him up to install Kamala. That’s all that makes sense to me at this point.

“What in blazes is going on there?”

Why, the execution of a plan, flawlessly. The “woke” advisors and cabinet of ‘ol wooden head Joe, don’t want those Americans to escape, they doubtless think that they are all Blackwater, and deserve their fate anyway.

Obviously, this is one of the contingencies that they planned for.

But totally unvetted Afghans are given the golden ticket and American dreams.

These were American citizens with American passports...

Theres no such thing as dual-citizenship youre either an American or youre some other nationality...

Only Americans have American passports...and they were denied at the gates by our own US military while unvetted undocumented Afghans (mostly young men) who had not fought or worked for us were allowed in and onto the planes...(while young women in danger were turned away also...)

Why ???

No, the most disturbing is the "allies, if you value your commitment to America and all that is decent you will not let private relief planes carrying American citizens land at your airports." In more normal times the request goes out internationally to please render all assistance. Now it is we order you to deny all assistance.

State is living in a looking glass world. Everything they do is backwards and their backwards logic convinces them that they are the ones who have it all right.

I have been trying in vain to help my friend try and get a family of Afghans out. A Dr., his wife and 6 daughters. They had been at the airport for a week. This Dr. has helped our military and saved our troops for 15 years. They had all the paperwork, but there were not allowed. I have been in touch with my Representatives whom I know well. A Republican and a Democrat. Both said the only thing they could do is send the information to the State Dept., which they both did. Both were as frustrated as we are.

Today that family is dead. God knows what they did with the daughters. Let that sink in.

The military industrial complex wants constant war, so, leave behind Americans to be slaughtered and we go back in armed with outrage. Yes. I believe they’d do this.

With all of this B.S. going on in front of us, what unrelated happenings are they actually hiding and obfuscating?

Let's hear from the 82nd Airborne. Did they turn back US citizens? If so, why and on whose orders?

If they are dual citizens, not much sympathy using our US citizenship for convenience. Strip them of it, put them on no-fly lists. They should not have been in Afghanistan in the first place.

To engineer another 9/11 and finish their plot to strip away what little freedoms we have for our "safety".

I keep waiting to hear the male/female breakdown. I’m betting more than 80% male and under 35.

It doesn’t matter if they were “dual citizens”. How does a gate sentry know they are “dual citizens”?

If they were turning citizens away, its criminal.

If this is true, and we have more reports that it is, it would only be because they had decided that they weren’t going to be able to evac them all due to the tight schedule. At a certain point they just stopped letting anyone in.

“It doesn’t matter if they were ‘dual citizens’.”

When it comes to America, there should be no such thing as “dual citizenship”. Either you’re American, or you’re not. Pick one, and be loyal to that one.

In fact, the Pentagon spokesman said just that... “There wasn’t time...”

If a gate guard sees a blue passport, how does he know you have another one in your luggage?

I suspect there are pallets of cash headed for Kabul, and the excuse will be the Americans left behind.
