* If anyone in the White House or its circling Obama attendants were conscious of history, they would recognize that political will, courage, and integrity forever define the character of nations. Consider the actions of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill who, when faced with a devastating military defeat in France, gave his military his full support in accomplishing the miracle of Dunkirk.
* And what is less known is that of the 338,000 men evacuated by British ships of all sizes were 100,000 French allies.... One can just imagine how America's leading military men would have responded to Biden's directives to abandon allies and weapons to the sworn enemies of democracy and freedom.
* This President will have much to answer for as history records his catastrophic failure in how we left Afghanistan. The coming summary executions, the destruction of women's rights, where even the joy of dancing is forbidden, will be as much part of the Biden legacy as the billions in sophisticated American military equipment now part of the Taliban arsenal.

Perhaps not since 1939, when this nation turned away over 900 German Jews seeking refuge from Nazi terror and certain death, has an American president acted as shamelessly as we approach President Biden's unilateral deadline for evacuating our Afghan allies.

On the eve of World War II, the German transatlantic liner, the St. Louis, sought entry in the United States as well as Canada, and Cuba, its manifest filled with the names of German Jews who knew full well their fate if they were forced to return to the port city of Hamburg and the Third Reich. While the other two nations also denied its passengers entry visas, it was the moral authority of the United States that had collapsed, giving others the cover they needed to act accordingly. It has remained among the most shameful abdication of presidential leadership in our history.

Until now.
