this outcome has been predicted by most that have been keeping tract of the afgan. military.

Like everything else this administration has touched.

Half a brain would have told him pull out citizens and allies,then troops, not troops then, oops we forgot everyone else! Idiot

Somewhere out there, there is a 2 year old with a prostitute mother, a crackhead father, and a grandpa in the white house. Intelligence runs deep in that family.

Charlene Coe-gilmore

He did not listen to staff who informed him of many problems and he would not listen. He decided to be one by a date rather than assessing issues on a daily basis and making decisions. He is seen by foreign leaders as weak which makes USA vulnerable.

Vernon Taylor

I will give Biden credit for making some of the Taliban wear masks.

Craig Wheeler

He should have listened to his military advisors. He ignored them.

John Walker

He basically abandoned our allies.

Biden admitted to being caught off-guard by the speed of the Taliban's takeover but stood by American actions.

This was set in motion by the previous administration. The exit date was already set.

15,000 Americans trapped in Afghanistan, relying on Joe Biden, similar to 15,000 elderly people trapped in nursing homes, relying on Andy Cuomo. Same team.

Jeffrey S

This was set in motion by the pevious administration.

Biden admin depends on Taliban to give Americans 'safe passage' 6 weeks after Biden said he doesn't trust them. A group of Loons is called an asylum.

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Zaos Gonzolez

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Fred

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
