[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]

    “On a Friday, in the middle of the debacle going on in Afghanistan, with a lot of eyes all focused there because of the trapped Americans and Afghan allies, some other rather important news just dropped. It completely blows up the ridiculous narrative that Democrats have pushed since Jan. 6.
    According to four current and former law enforcement officials, the FBI has “found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result.” The FBI doesn’t believe that the riot was “centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.””

    “A California man in his 60s shot and killed a 27-year-old armed man who broke into his house on Tuesday morning, according to the Fairfield Police Department.
    The homeowner was having breakfast with his wife when the intruder, who was on parole for a violent crime out of Alameda County, started knocking on the door at 8:30 a.m. then tried to kick the door down.
    Once the intruder broke the door down and entered the residence, which is located about 40 miles northeast of San Francisco, the homeowner shot him. ”
    “About 125 miles east of this shooting in Fairfield, two home intruders were shot in separate incidents last week.
    A man in Modesto came home on Friday to find 41-year-old Rodney Lee Martin allegedly in his residence with a stolen firearm. A shootout ensued and the homeowner shot and killed Martin.
    On Tuesday, 32-year-old Pearl Fierro allegedly used a fire extinguisher to break into an elderly couple’s home. After allegedly threatening to kill the couple, another woman who lives in the home shot and killed Fierro. ”
    https://www.foxnews.com/us/phoenix-homeowner-fires-multiple-shots-at-four-armed-robbers-home-security-footage-shows
    “A Phoenix man’s home security footage captured the moment that four armed suspects kicked down his door, only to be met by a barrage of gunfire that sent them scattering, the Phoenix Police Department said.
    The incident happened shortly before 4:00 a.m. on Aug. 12, when four men can be seen getting out of a gray sedan and approaching the man’s home.
    Two of the men with their faces covered can be seen on a doorbell camera at the front doorstep as they briefly try to obscure the view.
    Seconds later, one of the men kicks down the front door, but they were quickly met by a hail of bullets.”
    That reminds me.. It’s time to go to the gun range.

    -Of those surveyed, 53% say they approve of the president’s way of handling the pandemic. That’s a drop of 16 points compared to a poll taken in April. Just over 40% of the poll’s participants say they disapprove of Biden’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

    Dementia Joe, if he could still speak in coherent sentences, might sputter, “Are you tired of losing yet?”
    After he was installed as president, Dementia Joe’s caregivers said of their Deep State foreign policy: America is Back. Surely they meant to say, “America is on its Back.”
    Or maybe, America is Back on its Back, because this is a greater calamity than Barack Obama leading from behind — way behind. This is Jimmy Carter’s presidency on steroids, only worse, because at least Carter was trying, however ineptly, to do the right thing.
    Dementia Joe, not so much.
    Thanks, Joe Biden voters, for not being able to realize what Osama bin Laden did back in 2010, in a letter that was found in his personal effects after he was killed by the U.S. military (a raid Dementia Joe naturally opposed, because it was so obviously the right thing to do.)
    Speculating about the prospect of a President Biden, bin Laden wrote:
    “Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the US into a crisis.”
    A terrorist knew it, 74 million Trump supporters knew it, but all those Biden voters (however many there actually were) apparently had no clue.
    Or perhaps all of you Biden bumkissers were just bedazzled by his flowery oratory, his proposals for an American Rescue “Pan,” the centerpiece of his dream to “Build Back Pletter.” Biden voters, you believed every preposterous canard the alt-left media spoon-fed you — the Russian collusion hoax, the Ukrainian phone call, the Russian bounties on U.S. troops, Trump allegedly saying the military dead were “losers,” that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation,” that Jan. 6 was an “insurrection” and that a Capitol Police officer was murdered etc., etc.
    But you didn’t care, did you, Biden voters? All you cared about was free stuff, handouts without end, because, you know, the virus.
    Biden supporters are by definition low-information voters, because if they were paying attention, they’d be as concerned about the rapid unraveling of this society as those of us who work for a living and are not on the dole — i.e., aren’t Democrats.
    Of course Biden’s cheerleaders in the media are handling the non-working classes the same way farmers do mushrooms — keeping them in the dark and feeding them excrement.
    Last week, Dementia Joe sat down for a kid-gloves interview with Democrat operative George Stephanopoulos. The video was damning enough — Biden came across like a cross between Grandpa Simpson and Norm Crosby. But the transcript was even more damning.
    This is what ABC “News” left on the cutting-room floor, and refuses to release the video of.
    Steffie quotes an Army vet saying, “I just wish we could’ve left with honor.”
    To which Joe responded, according to the official ABC transcript:
    “Look, that’s like askin’ my deceased son Beau, who spent six months in Kosovo and a year in Iraq as a Navy captain and then major — I mean, as an Army major. And you know, I’m sure h-he had regrets comin’ out of Afghanista — I mean, out of Iraq.”
    So he forgot the branch of the military service his beloved son Beau served in, his rank and the foreign country in which he was stationed. And this in a slobbering interview with an obsequious Democrat partisan.
    Friday it was more of the same. Only “reporters” from the fakest of Fake News outlets — PBS, NPR, ABC “News” — were afforded an opportunity to fawn and pose him questions on bended knee.
    And yet Dementia Joe still didn’t know his rear end from a hole in the ground.
    On one issue after another — foreign opprobrium over our abject surrender, American citizens’ access to the Kabul airport, the presence of al-Qaeda — Biden either didn’t know what he was talking about, or he was lying, or both.
    When Tucker Carlson nightly plays this video of a hopelessly addled old fool on Fox News, he always mentions at the end how sorry he feels for this feeble, ruined, corrupt shell of a human being.
    I don’t feel sorry for Biden at all. I feel sorry for me — and for you, and for all of us who understood before his selection just how demented he was, and is.
    Are you happy now, Biden voters?

    I don’t agree with Bidens handling of the Afgan withdrawal Bill. That was an occupation that should have never happened in the first place beyond the needed response in dealing with Bin Laden. How it lasted 20 years is a stain on both the Republican and Democratic administrations that allowed it to continue and yes that includes Obama and was one of the reasons I didn’t vote for him second time around.
    Bush had seven years, Obama had eight years and Trump had four years and none of them took it on. Biden took it on which is to his credit but not the way he did it which was a total mess as if he had no Intelligence informing him as to the nature of the situation and a reasonable strategy to pull it off.

Trumps numbers on Aug 22 2017 was -17.5. So despite Bidens fall in the polls he’s up by 17 over Trump on the same day of their first year. By the way, Trump ended up at -15 the day he left office.
