At this point in his presidency, President Joe Biden’s only guarantee to Americans is that he will let them down in their time of need. Nothing has made that more apparent than watching him leave Americans in war zones time after time.

First, we saw desperate Americans and allies beg for assistance in leaving Afghanistan during Biden’s deadly withdrawal that led to the death of U.S. military members.

Then again, when Americans were left stranded in Gaza by Biden during the early stages of Israel’s retaliation against Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack. Both times, FL Rep. Cory Mills organized rescue missions that saved innocent Americans from almost certain death.

Now, for a third time, Mills organized a heroic rescue of about 30 Americans told to shelter in place or find their own way out by the Biden administration. While Americans waited for Biden, Haiti descended into death and chaos after armed gangs led by Jimmy Cherizier, “Barbeque,” attacked an international airport, leading to the cancellation of all flights leaving the country.

Mills announced on Twitter that he and his team were able to save another thirteen Americans who were left to the fate of killer gangs now controlling Haiti after the collapse of the government, including the resignation of its acting Prime Minister Ariel Henry.

“It’s with great pride I announce that our team successfully conducted another rescue of 13 Americans out of PAP Haiti,” Mills posted. “Our team has now successfully rescued and evacuated more Americans than Biden and his entire administration. Americans deserve support from their government. Not the pattern of abandonment this administration has shown.”

Author Mitch Albom was one of ten Americans rescued by Mills and his team in his initial evacuation mission. Albom runs an orphanage, Have Faith Haiti, with his wife and eight other Americans. MI Rep. Lisa McClain was alerted to the desperate need for Albom and his team and turned to Mills for the rescue.

The rescue wasn’t easy for the team after violent gang activity in Haiti’s capital of Port-au-Prince suspended port operations where the group was located.

McClain told the Washington Post that Mills initially planned to get the group out on Monday, but issues with the helicopter and finding a pilot willing to fly into Haiti delayed the evacuation until Tuesday. Still, Mills, a retired member of the 82 Airborne, persisted until he could secure the necessary crew to get Americans to safety.

Albom released a statement on Twitter thanking everyone involved for his rescue, adding that more Americans are still waiting to be evacuated.

“I am back on American soil. Thank you to all have supported us during this difficult week. My wife and I are safe tonight. Many Americans, Canadians, and others who are still stuck are not,” he tweeted. “The people of Haiti are not. I hope that our attention can turn to them and how we can help restore peace and safety to a beautiful country and its people, who deserve so much better.”

Albom took to his radio show to say that it was clear the Biden administration wasn’t going to help rescue Americans desperate to leave Haiti. “We knew, quite frankly, that we weren’t going to get out if we were waiting for the government to help us,” he said.

Mills told Fox News after the rescue that he felt compelled to help because of Biden’s “pattern of abandonment.”

“This is, unfortunately, a pattern of abandonment by the Biden administration that has existed since 2021, when he left Americans behind in Afghanistan,” Mills said. “I always look at the fact that if the government is not going to be willing to do its job, that America has to step up and do certain things that are required.” (ROOKE: Biden’s Border Crisis Exposed America’s Dirty Foreign Agent Secret)

Mills and his team displayed heroism at its absolute finest. This job should not have been left to a retired veteran and his military connections to complete. Biden had the authority to send in a team of trained personnel to rescue stranded Americans, but he abdicated his duty.

What is the point of being an American anymore if you can’t count on your government to come and save you? With every American left behind, Biden’s answer is clear.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
