IT DOES SEEM TO BE AN ONGOING THEME: Amazon asked FCC to reject Starlink plan because it can’t compete, SpaceX says. “SpaceX criticized Amazon for apparently putting more effort into delaying Starlink plans than into updating its own.”

DON’T GET COCKY: Democrats Running Scared in California Recall. “Backed by Gingrich? Newt Gingrich? He may be the most irrelevant Republican in California. Newsom is so scared of being recalled that he calls out a turn-of-the-century Republican speaker of the house? What’s next? A warning about Barry Goldwater?”

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Carolla, Dr. Drew Shred Comey, Media on ‘Insurrection’ Lies. “Neither podcaster is a de facto conservative. They just happen to share a common sense mien that overlaps with conservative thought. It’s why they didn’t buy the media’s ‘insurrection’ narrative regarding the Jan. 6 riots in the nation’s capitol.”
LONG MARCH THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS: UNC course says WWII was ‘Japan’s attempt to roll back Euro-American colonialism.’ “Campus Reform obtained the fall 2021 syllabus, covers the concept of race since the 19th century, but also contains what appears to be revisionist narratives of American history, specifically World War II.”

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: In secret texts, U.S. military officials lamented leaving Americans behind in Kabul.
President Biden declared to a puzzled country on Tuesday that the U.S. evacuation from Afghanistan was an “extraordinary success,” while his Pentagon portrayed a prosaic, workaday process to repatriate Americans still stranded in the war-torn country.
But text messages between U.S. military commanders and private citizens mounting last-minute rescues tell a far different story, one in which pleading American citizens were frantically left behind at the Kabul airport gate this past weekend to face an uncertain fate under Taliban rule while U.S. officials sought to spread the blame between high-ranking generals and the State Department
“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.

BIDEN’S BUNGLED BUGOUT: Three-Year-Old American Boy Trapped in Afghanistan.
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.”
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.”
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.”
YES. NEXT QUESTION? Is Biden Fudging the Numbers on Americans Left Behind in Afghanistan?
