[Mark Levin’s American Marxism has been #1 nationwide since it was published some five weeks ago.  It is an exhaustive compendium of America’s body politic and can serve as a handbook for anyone researching items of national concern.  It is also a page-turner that contains an enormous number of substantial quotes drawn political writings that precede Marx, include him and buddy Engels, and go on to the socialist literature that has swept us through the 19th and 20th centuries, terminating with the outpourings of today’s Left and their more strident neo-Marxist organizations.  Unless you know the stuff in the book, you are at best lobbing small caliber rounds, and more likely shooting blanks.  Levin is a good wordsmith with whom those on the Left and Right should spend time, first, to learn more completely their own ideologies, and then to discover what really drives the other side beyond the daily ad hominems and diversionary dollops of fake news.  gjr]

    Yes,, they can,, and are used for hunting!
    Here is a belt fed AR being used in feral hog eradication.
    “These feral hogs were taken in Texas, where they cause millions of dollars of damage to crops and several other things, including disease spread to farmers livestock.
    Removing these invasive animals is legal by any means necessary in the great state of Texas.”

    No worries. It’s just a news cycle bleep. Biden will bounce back well before 9/11. Maybe by Friday.
    BIDEN’S APPROVAL RATING DROPS 7 PERCENTAGE POINTS
    Fear that things will get even worse in Afghanistan also helps explain the finger pointing going on within the Biden administration. Publicly, Team Biden blames Donald Trump for this disaster. Privately, it seems, team members blame one another.
    There is even a report that, when asked to give an update on the situation in Afghanistan, Kamala Harris screamed, “They will not pin this s*** on me!” I rate this report “too good to check.”
    Harris may well have said no such thing, but her alleged statement is on its way to becoming a common refrain in Washington.
    I have no doubt that “this s” will be “pinned” where it belongs, on Joe Biden. Reuters’ poll shows that it already is. The only question is how deep the s will end up being.
    https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2021/08/bidens-approval-rating-drops-7-percentage-points.php
    The American people are so fickle. It’s like they are bi-polar or sumthang.
    —————————————————————-
    Speaking of Harris, she signed up for the job, did she not? Like, she interviewed for it and all that stuff. Yes, Kamala, they are going to try to pin it on you. You are the one waiting in the wings and you are making a children’s beginners violin lesson class sound good.

    Boy, I watched Bongino, Buck, and Matt and they all have moved up from the kitchen table and are starting to makes some waves. Leftists outraged? Really? That’s shocking news!
    ‘Leftists Outraged At Carrie Underwood For Liking Matt Walsh Post’
    “Many of the most popular comments about Underwood’s “like” mistakenly claimed it proved she is “anti-vax,” though Walsh took no position on vaccinations in his speech and, in fact, did not mention Covid vaccines at all.
    For his part, Walsh jokingly joined the outrage mob, tweeting, “Like anyone else, I am upset and disturbed that Carrie Underwood liked one of my tweets. She should know better than to indirectly endorse the opinions of an extremist and scoundrel such as myself. Her lack of judgment is appalling. I demand that she renounce me and apologize.”
    At least one of Underwood’s fellow country singer’s came to her defense. John Rich of the duo Big & Rich linked to a news report about the dustup and said, “I say [Carrie Underwood] can like whatever tweet she wants to like. Who are ‘they’ to shout her down? Watch out, she’s a tough Okie gal. You see what’s going on here? It’s ‘freedom of speech unless you disagree with the mob.’ #CarrieTakeTheWheel.”“

    You know, all J.K. Rawlings troubles with the transsexual community (mostly all biological men with estrogen raging, not to many born females) and all the problems she has endured and being protested and boycotted for being a TERF…..all her problems began when she ‘ liked’ a post from an old feminist and respected academic feminist leader in Britain who was concerned about trans women freeloading off the feminist organizations (some she pioneered in Britain).
    That’s how it all started. Hit a like button, left no comment. You go girl. You can write in all the gay characters you want into Harry Potter and it will never be enough. Those trans women throw some mean manly punches at old women TERFS approaching 70.

    I’m pretty sure Biden just said ” OK, Pull all out troops out of Vietnam. I will end this war.”

    For once, Daily Wire got it wrong. Big time fakenews. Check this headline out.
    ‘Biden Bolts Out Of Press Conference After Attacking GOP Governors, Refuses Questions’
    Give me a break. Biden did the lithium shuffle. The slow walk. The trudging through snow.
    Joe Biden simply does not “bolt”. Last time Biden tried to run after his dog, he fell and broke his ankle in his Delaware bathroom. Didn’t make it but a couple of steps. The last time Biden tried a hop and skip to his step, he tumbled going up the stairs to Air Force One. I shudder to think what would have happened if he tumbled down the stairs. Going up was difficult enough. Mercy.
    I hope the Daily Wire will make a hasty correction, pun intended.

    College tuition is the fuel to the socialist indoctrination and blm with no positive educational outcome –
    The spending habits of higher education have gotten us very poor results,” ACTA President Michael B. Poliakoff told Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “We are taking a system of higher education that has been called ‘the envy of the world’ into a situation in which it seems to be engineering its own meltdown.”
    Poliakoff added that colleges were not financially strapped due to diminishing state and federal funding, but rather due to the “investment in bloated administration and student services programs that keep ratcheting up the price of tuition while not increasing that most important outcome, which is completion of the degree.”

    AN ENCOURAGING RESULT FROM CONNECTICUT
    On Tuesday, the Republicans flipped a seat in the Connecticut state senate. Republican Ryan Fazio, a member of Greenwich’s local council, defeated Democrat Alexis Gevanter, a gun control advocate. The race was in Connecticut’s 36th district, a wealthy suburban pocket not far from New York City. The median household income in this district is around $160,000 per year.
    Joe Biden carried this district by 25 percentage points last year, a function of Donald Trump’s weakness in the suburbs. But Fazio, the Republican, carried it by 3 points.
    Republicans are hailing Fazio’s victory as a preview of the 2022 congressional midterms. They hope it signals renewed viability with suburban voters.
    That hope is reasonable because it’s reasonable to think that Biden’s margins in the suburbs were more a reflection of Trump’s unpopularity with upscale voters than a function of underlying Democratic strength. It’s also reasonable to think that Biden and his party, in trying to govern from the left, have eroded whatever strength they possessed with these voters less than a year ago.
    What did the Connecticut senate candidates advocate? According to the Daily Caller, the Democrat, in addition to his gun control positions, supported universal absentee voting and state funding for Planned Parenthood. The Republican reportedly focused primarily on government spending and deregulation.
    The victor says the result “is not a Connecticut-specific trend, this is a national trend.” Mayoral races in Texas, driven by Latino voters rather than wealthy suburbanites, suggest that he is right.
    In related news, a June poll showed that 78 percent of Capitol Hill staffers believe the GOP will take back the U.S. House in 2022. And this was before the Afghanistan debacle.
