The drink will flow, and blood will spill...
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favourite song
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
Biden State Dept. Quashed Trump-Era Program Designed to Evacuate Americans From Crisis Zones
The Biden Regime quashed a critical State Department program designed to help Americans evacuate safely out of crisis zones just months prior to the fall of Kabul, the National Pulse reported Wednesday.
The “Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau” was established late last year to handle medical, diplomatic, and logistical support involving Americans overseas.
A memo, signed by Deputy Secretary Brian McKeon and dated June 11, 2021, called for the “discontinuation of the establishment, and termination of, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR)” just a couple of months before the program was desperately needed. Over the weekend, the Taliban insurgents overtook the Afghan capital of Kabul, leaving up to 40,000 Americans and Afghan interpreters stranded in the war-torn country.
“SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED,” the State Department document begins, with the subject line, ACTION MEMO FOR THE SECRETARY (Anthony Blinken).
The memo had two recommendations:
“That you direct the discontinuation of the establishment, and termination of, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR), and direct a further review of certain associated Department requirements and capabilities.”
“That you direct the discontinuation of the establishment, and termination of, CCR, consistent with the applicable legal requirements, necessary stakeholder engagement, and any applicable changes to the Foreign Affairs Manual and other requirements.”
The bureau, created under former Sec. of State Mike Pompeo, provided “aviation, logistics, and medical support capabilities for the Department’s operational bureaus, thereby enhancing the secretary’s ability to protect American citizens overseas in connection with overseas evacuations in the aftermath of a natural or man-made disaster,” according to a notification from the Trump administration obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
According to the National Pulse, the decision to axe the CCR program may have come as early as February, “both undermining the original Trump-era date for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, and certainly giving the Taliban time to threaten American assets and lives on the run up to Joe Biden’s September 11th date of withdrawal.”
Former President Donald Trump blasted the Biden regime’s move in a comment to the Pulse.
“My Administration prioritized keeping Americans safe, Biden leaves them behind. Canceling this successful Trump Administration program before the withdrawal that would have helped tens of thousands Americans reach home is beyond disgraceful. Our withdrawal was conditions-based and perfect, it would have been flawlessly executed and nobody would have even known we left. The Biden execution and withdrawal is perhaps the greatest embarrassment to our Country in History, both as a military and...
NYC hatchet attack suspect under evaluation after arrest, authorities say
A suspect in New York City was undergoing a psychiatric evaluation after being arrested Wednesday in connection with a brutal hatchet attack against a man at a Chase Bank ATM on Sunday evening, authorities said.
Aaron Garcia, 37, was being sought Tuesday in connection with the hatchet attack when he was then accused of threatening another victim with a hammer – and using the tool to smash the windows of several parked cars and a restaurant, police said.
Police took Garcia into custody Tuesday night and transported him to Bellevue Medical Center, authorities said.
Police in Yonkers, north of New York City, said Garcia had four active bench warrants and one active arrest warrant on charges including criminal contempt, harassment, aggravated harassment, and stalking, WNBC-TV of New York City reported.
The charges appeared to be domestic in nature and stemmed from several arrests in 2020 and earlier this year, according to the station.
Watch Video Of Attack:
On Sunday the suspect, wearing a black surgical mask, was captured on video walking into the Chase Bank in Lower Manhattan around 5:30 p.m., holding a hatchet in his right hand – when suddenly he lunged at the victim, Miguel Solorzano, 50, and sliced one of his legs from behind.
A struggle ensued as Solorzano attempted to protect himself with a backpack before Garcia appeared to land several blows with the hatchet, drawing blood. With the victim out of frame in the video, Garcia was later seen...
71-Year-Old Grandmother Visited By FBI Over Attending January Trump Rally
Linda Menk, a 71-year-old grandmother of four, said she was approached by a pair of FBI agents for her attendance at the Jan. 6 Trump rally.
Coweta County School Board Member Linda Menk, a 71-year-old grandmother who lives in the rural community 40 miles southwest of Atlanta, says she was paid a visit by a pair of FBI agents for attending former President Donald Trump’s now-infamous D.C. rally on Jan. 6.
“It wasn’t festive, but it was friendly,” Menk said of the rally, telling The Federalist she remained on the outskirts of the crowd at Trump’s White House speech, standing on the grounds of the Washington Monument to watch the jumbotron from afar. “That was kind of where we camped out so-to-speak,” attending with a group she met in her hotel the night before since she got separated from those she drove from Georgia with.
After a few hours, Menk said she opted to go back to her hotel alone on M Street north of the George Washington University campus and watch the tabulation of the Electoral College vote on television. Menk told The Federalist she left around 12:45 p.m., about 10 minutes before the first Capitol barriers were breached.
“I had no cell phone service, I couldn’t pull up a map, I didn’t see another living soul,” Menk told The Federalist of her early walk back in frigid temperatures.
She safely made it to her hotel in the early afternoon despite the obstacles, and the friends she brought from Georgia returned around 5 p.m. Some had gone to the Capitol.
As the group carpooled back to Georgia, Menk said, outraged was ensuing at the virulent images from the Capitol broadcast nationwide to indict any who were present. It led to a second presidential impeachment of the man who one year prior had survived his first.
In Coweta County, Menk’s presence became the center of controversy by local Black Lives Matter activists who demanded Menk’s resignation for her participation in the peaceful protest.
“Just FYI. I’m here in DC for the Trump March,” Menk wrote on her Facebook page on Jan. 6. “These people your seeing on TV who supposedly stormed the capitol do NOT look like the peaceful marchers.”
The next local school board meeting on Jan. 12 erupted with left-wing activists branding Menk an insurrectionist who should be forcibly removed from the board.
“I have difficulty believing she was just in Capitol Hill to hear the loser of the last election speak,” said one person Joshua, according to 11Alive News, despite Menk’s assertion she never stepped foot on Capitol grounds.
Several days later, Menk told The Federalist, she was paid a visit by a pair of FBI agents who were sent by calls from local activists. Menk, a mother of two sons and grandmother to four, said the two agents at first appeared suspicious with business cards reviewed by The Federalist featuring hand-written phone numbers over blotches of white-out.
When neither would reveal their badge numbers and offered no warrant, Menk instructed the two to remain where they were so she could phone an attorney. Menk was advised to return to the front porch with her phone on speaker, and then instruct the agents they would re-arrange a time to meet alongside legal counsel.
Menk later paid a visit to the FBI office in Columbus, Ga., with the criminal defense attorney David Helmick. The two agents, Menk said, told her they were not planning to arrest or charge her, but just wanted to interview her. Helmick described the interview as...
