Sandbox – 14aug21

[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 19^th and 20^th 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]

Not Mark Levin but VDH to kick it off.

'American Armageddon'

What started out as elite woke nonsense now warps everyone’s daily life.

"Americans are growing angrier by the day in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or Tea Party furor of over a decade ago."

Unfortunately and undeservedly, it will have only a small fraction of Levin's following. Nevertheless, the more works from such pundits, the better we will fare against the Marxist onslaught.

Breitbart is lying when they say "The trend coincides with Breitbart News’s report this week finding Biden’s approval rating sinking to 49 percent on August 11, per Real Clear Politics’s average of multiple polls."

If indeed you bother to go to the poll Breitbart cites-and yes I'll include the link-you'll find that Biden has a job performance average of polls of +4.2 on Sept 11 which is a considerable decline in the last few weeks. However if you track Trumps numbers in the same poll in 2017 for Sept 11 you'll find he was -18.9. That's a 23.1 edge in Bidens favor.

You can check the numbers yourself. Here's the link to todays numbers for Biden
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html
and here's a link to Trumps numbers in 2017-you can easily find the same date-Aug 11 2017-that shows him down -18.9:

Yep, everytime they let Biden out of the basement to change the newspapers in his napping cage, he wanders off and ends up on the White House lawn. After two days of Biden in DC and speaking a few words, they caught him and off to his crypt than just got the super duper emergency douch out. Its back to the basement for Joe. Got to ease him slower into this Presidency thang. Two days at the WH proved too much. And he just gets back and back to the Delaware Dungeon for him. Hey, it worked as his campaign strategy.

Best quote about Hunter Biden on his 18 day, $10,000 a night penthouse hopping bienge in 2018 in Vegas.. with dangerous drugs and Russian hookers and spilling the beans about losing yet another laptop with stuff of Russian Blackmail............

the quote goes like this:

First, don't ever tell a hooker that kind of stuff. Tell it to a therapist or lawyer. There is no confidentiality agreement between prostitute and payee.

Second, you don't a hooker for sex. You pay them to go away.

[Bill Tozer]

Opps. You don't pay a hooker for sex. You pay them to go away.

[Bill Tozer]

Now Biden is sending 5,000 troops. Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?

There is no expectation of confidentiality between a prostitute and and her john.

Levin knows the federal law inside and out. The courts have ruled on it..he could probably cite the case off the top of head and the court's reasoning.

A bad day for antifa -

Activists reported to be associated with Antifa clashed with anti-mask protesters outside Los Angeles City Hall on Saturday afternoon resulting in multiple injuries.

"Breaking: Brutal right-wing vs antifa brawl breaks out at anti-mask protest in Los Angeles," journalist Andy Ngo tweeted Saturday along with a video from videographer Sean Carmitchel who was at the scene. "One of the antifa who charges in to fight gets pummeled to the ground. A woman trying to help him gets hit on the head. The antifa end up retreating."

Some of the protesters, who had gathered at City Hall to protest against mask and vaccine mandates could be seen yelling "F*** Antifa" to the counter-protesters clad in all black.

Economy is coming back Walt. Won't happen overnight bcause as you know Trump trashed it. Also over 70% Covid vacs despite Republican opposition in the South. He's way ahead of Trump in job approval at this stage as you know. That's just a start. the borders are a problem but Trump did nothing lasting to deal with the reasons people are immigrating and Afganistan is just fulfilling Trumps election promise tp pull out. that's just a start.

[George Rebane]

PaulE 600pm - Do you think Biden's approval ratings have anything to do with the lamestream's lickspittle reporting on his every move (vs what Trump had to endure), and ignoring the existential crises resulting from his grossly misconceived policies - border, Afghanistan, $3.5T of unnecessary spending and debt, out of control crime in America's cities, paying people not to work when employers can't hire, shutting down America's energy suppliers and promoting foreign oil producers and shippers, politicizing the military, ... This guy is an unbelievable disaster area; there is not a single thing that his administration has launched for the benefit of the American people.

Nay, that is just a convenient excuse...as good as any to duke it out.

One woman spoke out at the Korean spa. Definity unrehearched or planned.

All Biden did was to extend Trumps policy on unemployment which trump advocated when he ran for President in 2020. So George, it Trump did it it's ok but if Biden does it it's bad. Also for the $2000 stimulus for 2021. Trump was all for it when he was Pres.

Just going to watch it happen and not lift a finger -

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., pressed President Biden to order airstrikes against Taliban forces on Friday following what he described as an "urgent conversation" with Afghanistan’s ambassador to the United States, Adela Raz.

McConnell and other GOP figures have accused the Biden administration of botching a planned withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in recent days. In a scathing statement, the Kentucky senator said the situation in Afghanistan was a "debacle" that was prompting a humanitarian crisis.

"With that said, it is not too late to prevent the Taliban from overrunning Kabul," McConnell said in a statement. "The Administration should move quickly to hammer Taliban advances with airstrikes, provide critical support to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) defending the capital, and prevent the seemingly imminent fall of the city."

He is right it is a cancer -

I saw all of this initially in the schools and in the universities. But it looks like it’s now metastasized into the whole culture. So yes it’s in the schools now, but it’s in the media, it’s in Hollywood, it’s in the corporate sector, so we’re seeing a real attack. And as you noted, it’s not really an attack on conservatism so much as it is an attack on classical liberalism – the basic ideas of individuality and treating me as a person, not as a member of a group. The idea of judging me on the content of my character, or my merit, not based upon the color of my skin. All of this is now out the window. So a kind of progressive radicalism is displacing classical liberalism.

Former CIA director General Petraeus calls situation in Afghanistan ‘catastrophic’

Paul emery whines, “ All Biden did was to extend Trumps policy on unemployment which trump advocated when he ran for President in 2020. So George, it Trump did it it's ok but if Biden does it it's bad. Also for the $2000 stimulus for 2021. Trump was all for it when he was Pres.”

The operative word here is ‘extend’ the unemployment benefits. The extending unemployment benefits were needed to bridge the gap in time until the economy came back. It did, but not as much as all the experts predicted at 8-9% GDP. Still, 6% for second quarter is ok, could have been better. Now that the supply lines are coming down the line and we have 10 million desperate job openings in the USA, the highest ever, Biden ‘extends’ the unemployment benefits past July and until September and now talking about through next year. No reason to let people sit around the barn and eat up all the hay when there real work to be done. Biden bad.

The total amount it cost the taxpayers to sent the $1,400 individual stimulus checks was 350 billion US dollars. 350 billion. Imagine how much less the $600 dollar checks cost, with the caveat that they were also sent to illegals to put the total higher than it should. Add low lost and no interest loans to businesses to hire workers back that went mostly unused because the Creep Biden extended unemployment programs and the businesses could not get the slackers off their asses and back to work.

Will we hit 9% to 10% for the 3rd Quarter? Not with Biden sticking his dick in the mashed potatoes and ruining the potluck for everybody. That’s just ole Joe.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/08/14/joe-biden-blames-donald-trump-for-afghanistan-collapse-despite-calling-taliban-takeover-unlikely-in-july/
"“When I came to office, I inherited a deal cut by my predecessor,” Biden wrote, complaining that Trump negotiated a deal “that left the Taliban in the strongest position militarily since 2001.”

Biden also noted that Trump had set the troop withdrawal date of May 1 and reduced troop levels to 2,500.

The president said he had the choice of either following through with Trump’s withdrawal plan or sending more troops back into Afghanistan to secure the country.

But Biden set a later date for withdrawal, choosing a new deadline of September 11th before walking it back to August 31.

“I was the fourth President to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan—two Republicans, two Democrats,” he said. “I would not, and will not, pass this war onto a fifth.”

On Saturday, Biden announced his decision to surge 5,000 American troops into Afghanistan to help ensure the safe evacuation of American personal."

The moment Biden changed things, he owned it.

Dont forget that 45 had flooded the gulf with defensive capability and potentially offensive that was to keep the mutha mullahs circumspect and to cover the phased withdrawal with a security force.

"Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani fled the capital of Kabul on Sunday amid the Taliban's encroaching governmental takeover of the country, according to multiple Afghan officials.

The office of Ghani said it "cannot say anything about Ashraf Ghani's movement for security reasons," according to Reuters."

BIDEN’S FOLLY
Now comes word that Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani has fled the country. The Taliban might have awaited the twentieth anniversary of 9/11 to take the capital city and make the humiliation of the United States even deeper. Maybe they have something special saved for that day. Even so, as of this morning, the humiliation appears to be complete and total. I yield the floor to News Items proprietor John Ellis in his post “Biden’s folly.”

Only a few days ago the American “intelligence community” reportedly assured Biden that there would be a 90-day window before the catastrophe materialized. Not too intelligent, and not quite “a decent interval,” to borrow the concept that has been applied to our withdrawal from Vietnam, but good enough for Joe Biden. What a disgrace.

Biden has only been in office for 6 months compared to Trumps 4 years and Bush and Obama 8 years each. How the Republicans manage to blame Biden for Afghanistan is a joke. Remember when we had 9/11 the Repubs said don't blame Bush he just got here 6 months ago. I guess that line of thinking doesn't apply to Biden. Contextual truthing on the part of the Repubs for sure.

Much like our dear Punchy, President LARP is perfectly comfortable with the concept of Doublethink.

“However, Biden added, “One more year, or five more years, of U.S. military presence would not have made a difference if the Afghan military cannot or will not hold its own country.

And of course there’s this....

“ Here's the exchange from a bit over a month ago:

REPORTER: Is a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan now inevitable?

THE PRESIDENT: No, it is not.

REPORTER: Why?

THE PRESIDENT: Because you — the Afghan troops have 300,000 well-equipped — as well-equipped as any army in the world — and an air force against something like 75,000 Taliban. It is not inevitable.

Perhaps this utter failure to grasp or predict anything close to reality on the ground in the conflict is a failure also shared by US intelligence, given that it was only in June that a widely reported intel assessment forecast that Kabul could fall within six months.

[Barry Pruett]

Yes. Biden has only been president for seven months, and he has managed to turn American foreign policy into a dumpster fire. In a short seven months, Biden and the Democrats have turned the border into a dumpster fire. In a short seven months the democrats and Biden turned our federal budget into a dumpster fire. In a short seven months, the democrats have caused the consumer price index and inflation to explode. Good job Democrats. Lol. thankfully 2022 is right around the corner.

Self-proclaimed socialist filmmaker Michael Moore took to Twitter to express his excitement after data from the United States Census Bureau revealed a decline in the number of white people in the country.

“From today’s news (8/12/2021): ‘The Census data collected from the 2020 Census was released today — and it revealed that the number of White people in the U.S. has fallen for first time since the first Census was taken in 1790.’ In other words, best day ever in U.S. history,” Moore tweeted.

“Biden’s military policies have helped the Taliban. His energy policies have helped Russia. His border policies have helped people come here illegally. His domestic policies pay people not to work. What has he done, other than not tweet, that hasn’t backfired?” —Ari Fleischer

And more quotes

Re: The Left: “Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.” —Thomas Sowell

Observations I: “Contrarianism has run amok in the United States. It is a byproduct of moving into postmodernism. Instead of focusing on what is true, we now all focus on our personal truths with no regard to actual truth. If we believe it is true, then by God in heaven it is true! Combine that with our increasing divisions as a society, and many people’s truth is now based on being exactly opposite their opposing tribe. Everyone prides themselves on their individual thought when really their thoughts are not individual but based on tribal consent.” —Erick Erickson

Observations II: “America is no longer a true community based on shared ideals and principles. It’s now a group of segregated societies. There is still racial segregation (something the left bizarrely and sadly even encourages these days), but class separation is what most divides Americans. Elite Americans live in private, high-end communities, dine at private clubs and fly in private planes. The economic divide has always existed, but the scale and extent of it has reached new highs. America is no longer a cohesive society.” —Neil Patel

Observations III: “During the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, about 75 percent of Americans trusted Washington to do the right thing most of the time. That number began to sink during Lyndon Johnson’s presidency in the ‘60s and never recovered. By the time Barack Obama was in the White House, in 2009, public trust was down to the teens or low 20s, where it has remained ever since. With so many Americans mistrusting their government, should it really surprise anyone that many balk at answering nosy census questions? In a society plagued by declining social capital, a fall-off in the census response rate is all too predictable. Besides, it isn’t only the census that people have been turning their backs on. Just ask anyone in the polling industry, which has been convulsed in recent years by the plunge in Americans’ willingness to answer survey questions.” —Jeff Jacoby

No big deal… “To merely keep pace with the IPCC recommendations on carbon emissions, Americans, who use around 20 million barrels of petroleum every day, would be compelled to induce a pandemic-level shutdown of the economy every year for 30 years.” —David Harsanyi

Indeed: “Children need germs. They cannot permanently wear masks. The longer we keep them in masks, the more we delay a cold and flu season that will just get more dangerous with time.” —Congressman Dan Crenshaw

Political futures: “No ID to vote, but proof of a vaccine to travel isn’t really the talking point Democrats should be running on headed into 2022.” —Erick Erickson

Straight from the horse’s mouth: “We are encountering an unprecedented number of migrants in between the ports of entry at our southern border.” —Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

For the record: “Remember when Obama’s Secretary of Defense said Biden has been ‘wrong on nearly every foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades’? It turns out he was spot on.” —Congressman Ronny Jackson (ADM-USN, Ret.)

A trip down memory lane I: “The Taliban is not the … North Vietnamese army. They’re not … remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a[n] embassy.” —President Joe Biden, July 8, 2021

A trip down memory lane II: “Do I bear responsibility? Zero responsibility.” —Joe Biden in February 2020 when asked, “Don’t you bear some responsibility for the outcome if the Taliban ends up back in control and women end up losing the rights?”

Non compos mentis: “The President is to be commended for the clarity of purpose of his statement on Afghanistan and his action. The Taliban must know the world is watching its actions. We are concerned about reports regarding the Taliban’s brutal treatment of all Afghans, especially women and girls. The U.S., the international community and the Afghan government must do everything we can to protect women and girls from inhumane treatment by the Taliban. As we strive to assist them, we must recognize that their voices are important and respect their culture.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Hey from Mikes perspective I'm sure it is......! Imagine you had to wake up, drag your hormonally drifting 500 Lb carcass into the bathroom every morning......! You look more like an old woman than an old man, and the skin is hanging off you in sheets, cheeks shot through with burst capillaries and working on a seriously credible "Gin Nose".

So when Mike says some thing like that I don't take it personally......he's wrestling with his "inner demons"! You would too!

Funny how the bigger the 'hate crime' de jour is the bigger it blows up -

A Tennessee investigation found evidence that the state's fired vaccine chief, Michelle Fiscus, purchased a dog muzzle that she previously claimed someone had mailed in an attempt to intimidate her.

Why it matters: Fiscus, who denied sending herself the muzzle in a Monday tweet, has characterized her firing as a political move driven by Republican state officials after she shared a memo citing state law about whether adolescents can seek medical care, including a COVID vaccine, without their parents' permission.

Stay on top of the latest market trends and economic insights with Axios Markets. Subscribe for free

Fiscus and her husband, Brad, had said in multiple interviews, including with CNN's Anderson Cooper, that the muzzle was sent anonymously to her state office through Amazon shortly before her firing.

"Someone wanted to send a message to tell her to stop talking, they thought it would be a threat to her," Brad Fiscus told the Tennessean.

Details: The Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security found through a subpoena that the Amazon package containing the muzzle traced back to a credit card in Fiscus' name, according to an investigation report obtained by Axios.

"House arrest?" How draconian! You're willing to waste hundreds of millions of dollars because the governor went to dinner unmasked? I'd bet that every Republican candidate in this recall, at some point during 2020, violated the mask mandate on more than one occasion.

Yet absolutely no concern about the 30 billion lost on Gavins watch.....I mean, “as an educator” you’d think there might be some concern over the three orders of magnitude difference in what was criminally lost on pretty boys watch via EDD fraud. But I guess that would be too much to ask.....from “an educator”.

fish 3:42 - Rich Howell: "I'd bet that every Republican candidate in this recall, at some point during 2020, violated the mask mandate on more than one occasion."
The obvious (to the average person) hypocrisy of Gavin blatantly violating his own rules seems to have completely sailed over the tiny little brain of Zir Howell.
I'm quite sure many of the R's running for the possibly open position of CA governor have 'violated' the mask rule. I would say that's a good reason to vote for them.
As far as Howell's claim that elections are a 'waste' of money - well I'd say you can relocate to China.

Other than an indication as to how dangerous this malady is (not very apparently )and as yet another opportunity for continued mockery of progressives I could give a shit about Gavins dinner plans. I just really dig it when Nevada City proglodytes get conservative financially......"You're willing to waste hundreds of millions of dollars because the governor went to dinner unmasked?"

Yeah Rich I am......

Other than completely ignoring the fact that Gavin was at the helm when he got fleeced by various guests of the California State Penal System Rich seems really upset over spending the equivalent of the states "couch cushion change" over a legitimate political exercise while ignoring the 30 Billion dollar elephant in the room.
