TEXAS HEARTBEAT LAW GOES INTO EFFECT, BANNING MOST ABORTIONS SINCE SCOTUS HASN’T ACTED YET.

UPDATE: Texas House passes Republican-backed elections bill, overcoming Democratic delays.

BIDEN VOTERS POSTING THEIR L’S ONLINE: Meghan McCain: I don’t recognize this Joe Biden. “One has to wonder now whether the scales have fallen from the eyes of all of the McCains. Biden nominated Meghan’s mother Cindy to be an ambassador to the UN’s Agencies for Food and Agriculture. This disgrace in Afghanistan should have a number of honorable people seeking an exit from Biden’s administration. Will Mrs. McCain continue to seek confirmation? Will Biden pull the nomination after Meghan’s public criticism? Stay tuned.”

BIDEN’S BUNGLED BUGOUT: Three-Year-Old American Boy Trapped in Afghanistan.

NO ILLUSIONS ON KABUL BELOW THE MILLEY RANKS: Just the News (JTN) has copies of damning — for Biden — text messages from U.S. military commanders on the scene at the Kabul Airport and private parties trying to evacuate Americans.

“‘We are f*cking abandoning American citizens,’ an Army colonel assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division wrote Sunday in frustration in a series of encrypted messages that detailed the failed effort to extricate a group of American citizens, hours before the last U.S. soldiers departed Afghanistan,” JTN reports.

AXIOS: Republicans Seize! “Biden’s poll numbers have fallen as the Afghanistan exit was engulfed by chaos and tragedy. Now, Republicans are seizing the moment in hopes of making it a defining issue ahead of the midterms.”

As Jim Treacher likes to say:

DON’T GET COCKY: Joe Biden causes political heartburn for vulnerable Democrats with rocky Afghanistan withdrawal. “They and other Democrats from swing districts, as well as those who have used their national security credentials to appeal to Republicans and independents, are trying to strike a difficult political balance. They must make clear their dissatisfaction with Biden’s much-criticized handling of the Afghanistan exit, speaking to the dissatisfaction felt by so many of their Republican and independent constituents. At the same time, it cannot alienate a liberal base that might reject Democrats too critical of the president in 2022.”

IT’S SO NICE HAVING THE GROWNUPS BACK IN CHARGE: Left Behind in Afghanistan by Biden’s ‘Mucked Up’ State Department. “Hundreds left behind in Afghanistan by Presidentish Joe Biden’s hasty and ill-planned bugout could have been gotten out, if not for State Department turf wars over the Trump-era Contingency and Crisis Response bureau.”

REDISTRICTING: ‘Independent’ Michigan Redistricting Commissioner Actually a Bernie Bro. “Medical student Anthony Eid applied to serve on the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission as an independent in May 2020, stating that he does not ‘affiliate with either the Republican or Democratic Party.’ A Washington Free Beacon review of his social media presence, however, shows that Eid has long supported members of the Democratic Party’s liberal wing.”

JONATHAN TOBIN: The Ashli Babbitt Standard: “The point here isn’t so much the hypocrisy of those applauding Babbitt’s death. It’s that, by deeming the shooting justified despite the facts of the case and the law, the federal government sets a standard that appears to rest on the victim’s politics and race rather than an objective judgment about a legal question.”

There are different rules for the Establishment than for others, and different rules still for those who oppose the Establishment.

IT’S OFFICIAL! In California, College Students Are Now Officially Considered an Environmental Menace. “That’s the conclusion of California Superior Court Judge Brad Seligman, who on Aug. 23 ordered the University of California–Berkeley to temporarily freeze the number of students it admits every year under the California Environmental Quality Act, putting crowded classrooms in the same category as heavy infrastructure like highways and airports. ‘Further increases in student enrollment above the current enrollment level at UC–Berkeley could result in an adverse change or alteration of the physical environment,’ the judge wrote.”

SO MUCH NASTINESS FROM THE MEDIA: Liberal Media Scream: MSNBC’s joyless Reid says Republicans ‘love…savor’ cruelty.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Corrupt, Biden-Loving MSM Is Over Its Brief Flirtation With Journalism. “If you’re like me, you probably feel that things aren’t going well here in the United States these days. The dangerous and toxic cocktail of incompetence and rabid totalitarian ideology being served up by Joe Biden and his puppet masters is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of reality-based folk everywhere.”

GRATITUDE: An Afghan interpreter who helped rescue President Biden during a 2008 snowstorm was left behind in Afghanistan. “Mohammed, whose full name was not shared in the report due to fear of reprisal by the Taliban, helped rescue Biden and two then-Sens. John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, after a snowstorm forced the two Black Hawk helicopters transporting the senators to land in a remote valley in 2008.”

HEH: Prank finds its way into Henrico School Board meeting.

YEP: Unworthy of the Sacrifice: Our leaders are like spoiled rich kids, breaking soldiers—their toys—with impunity.

YES. NEXT QUESTION? Is Biden Fudging the Numbers on Americans Left Behind in Afghanistan?
