Biden admin silent as American journalist vanishes in Iraq media outrage missing for the wrong reasons

Another American has gone missing overseas, and this time it’s an independent journalist kidnapped in Iraq. The Biden administration is quick to put out statements, but their track record proves they are slow to act and even slower to protect American lives. Shelly Kittleson was out there doing her job, reporting the hard facts in a dangerous place. Where is the outrage from the so-called defenders of democracy? Instead, we get the usual Washington mumbo jumbo and empty promises.

Let’s be honest—this madness didn’t start overnight. Weak leadership at the top keeps sending the wrong message: American citizens abroad are on their own. Security and strength are just buzzwords for the professional elite in D.C., who are more interested in virtue-signaling to their globalist friends than in keeping our people safe. Iraq is still a danger zone, and the world knows America doesn’t have the backbone it used to have when dealing with terrorists.

Iraqi officials say they’re trying to help, but how much can we trust these empty words from a government that scrambles just to keep order in its own streets? If the White House actually had a backbone, American citizens wouldn’t be targets in the first place. Instead, we watch liberal diplomats shuffling papers, terrified of causing offense, while our own citizens are left at the mercy of kidnappers.

Shelly’s story is another warning: the world is increasingly unsafe for Americans, and leftist policies put citizens last. Where’s the fury from the media class that claims to stand for press freedom, or is that only when it fits their narrative? If this was a left-wing darling, every news outlet would be screaming—but a freelancer with the wrong connections is just another blip on the radar.

American lives are not bargaining chips for globalists to trade away. Real leaders put their people first and face threats with courage, not conversations and hashtags. How many more Americans need to be kidnapped before this administration remembers whose side they should be on? Or do they just not care at all?
