Temporary President Joe Biden left Americans behind in Afghanistan. He told the American people he was going to stay as long as necessary to get them all out, but he lied, and he left them behind. He left them in the hands of the Taliban, an Islamist terrorist organization infamous for medieval brutality. He left them at the mercy of 7th century savages who have no mercy. He left them with fanatics whose religion mandates they lie to and murder Infidels. He did it on purpose, and bragged about what a wonderful success his unprecedented military debacle was.
Americans don’t do that. Americans despise people that do. People like Biden are constantly telling us patriotic, honorable Americans “are not who we are.” Now they’ve told us, with actions, instead of words for a change, they’re not Americans. Leaving Americans behind is not who we are
Now he’s trying to distract us. He thinks we’ll forget what he did. He thinks we’re stupid, that with the right “messaging,” he can convince us we’re the real terrorists, despite the fact we’re not holding anyone hostage, nor did anyone, other than a government agent who shouldn’t be trusted with a cap gun, kill an American on January 6 at the Capitol. At his train wreck of a UN speech, he proudly proclaimed he’d turned the page on Afghanistan. Nothing to see there; move along. He wants us to forget he abandoned Americans—Americans—to our enemies.
He is doing nothing to get them out, in fact, he’s letting—or ordering—the State Department to prevent them from escaping. Private citizens are working hard to save Americans, and the State Department won’t let their planes leave Afghanistan, and when some somehow manage to fly out, they won’t let them land at American military airfields or even in America. Our government won’t lift a finger to save Americans, to keep them from becoming hostages, to keep them from being tortured, raped and killed. Our government won’t lift a finger to keep from having to pay ransom for as many as thousands of Americans Joe Biden left behind. Private citizens saving Americans embarrasses the Government, which matters far more to them than the lives of Americans.
The State Department denies it, but it knows exactly how many Americans they abandoned. They have to because they are in charge of keeping track of Americans in foreign countries. Americans don’t get to be in foreign countries without passports, and those, as well as other documents, are continually tracked, so they have no excuse for not knowing, and they lie anyway. Admitting how many were stranded behind enemy lines embarrasses the State Department, which matters far more to them than the lives of Americans.

Why, besides progressive dementia, a life lived as a leftist, a hatred of America and Americans, gross incompetence, just plain meanness and stupidity, would Biden—actually, his handlers—do such a thing?
Regularly, until our American hostages are home, I’ll post brief updates/reminders that our Government, our Democrat/Socialist/Communist ruled and infiltrated government, has abandoned as many as thousands of Americans, men, women and children to our most deranged, vicious, bloodthirsty and ruthless enemies. But for this first reminder, consider this from David Catron at The Spectator.org:
During an interview with William F. Buckley in 1977, Margaret Thatcher described the difference between American and British politics in this way: ‘American politics are very different because you have two parties based on a free society, a free enterprise society, and economic freedom. We have one party based on that, one main party, and another based on socialism.’ Sadly, Thatcher’s observation about American politics is no longer true. A new Fox News poll shows that 59 percent of registered Democrats have a positive view of socialism. It’s little wonder that our ‘moderate’ president has lurched so far to the left. He’s just appeasing his base.
Catron’s article was about how Biden—actually, his handlers—is destroying the middle class, in large part by trying to pass legislation to give unions a socialist stranglehold on our economy. But consider that 59% of registered Democrats are willing to admit to favoring socialism. Socialism still has enough of a bad name we can be reasonably sure many who also prefer it are remaining silent—for now.
This is why I refer to the contemporary Democrat Party as the Democrat/Socialist/Communist Party, or D/S/Cs for convenience. The Democrat Party that once loved America and Americans is long gone.

Keep in mind socialism is merely communism-lite. Both long to establish a Marxist utopia with all the misery, poverty, human suffering and death that evil ideology has always produced. American Socialists just aren’t quite ready to murder their political enemies in huge numbers, but given enough power, they’ll get there fast. Lurking just under the skin of every socialist is a communist loading an AK.
Catron is right. Biden is a socialist, to whatever degree his brain is sufficiently functional to consider such things, but his handlers surely are, and his fortune, and that of his family, certainly has not come from capitalism. Biden’s handlers/Biden are playing to their base, the majority of the D/S/C Party, which is no longer Democrats as Americans once knew that Party to be. It would only be surprising if they had not abandoned Americans to the Taliban. Worse, far worse, is coming, if they can get away with it.

“But consider that 59% of registered Democrats are willing to admit to favoring socialism.”
Accurate statement to the poll result, but like much of what you generally try to promote, the above line has much more context to it other than the usual “Dems are Commies” palaver.
If we accept the Fox poll for what it is.. meaning we have little or no idea what was asked, how it was asked, the sampling demographics, et al… the poll does suggest their sampling revealed 59% of Dems tend to have a “favorable opinion” toward socialism. It’s a bit different than the FOX headline wants you to believe… “preferring socialism to capitalism”… but debatable syntax aside, the chart showed 49% of Dems favored capitalism. For now let’s ignore that 49+59= 108%. A little tougher to ignore without question is the Republican side of that same poll… that the total there, 67% who favor capitalism plus the 8% who favor socialism adds up to 75%. In what poll category did that large 25% go to? I mean, even if it went to something like “undecided”.. why would so many Republican respondents choose not to answer?
According to FOX, a year ago the same poll revealed that 50% of Dems favored capitalism, this year declining by 1%. The Dems favoring socialism went from 40% last year to a significant increase of 19% more this year. Odd math disparity there. But for the sake of argument.. it’s easy to brake out the emotional suggesting that this poll means there are more of “those Dems-turned-commie bastards” and continue to point “See…! We told you!”.. when the greater question to ask… is why did the pro-socialist numbers went up (IF we accept the FOX polls as being accurate), and where did the 25% of the Republican sampling go?

“Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are pliable.”
or.. the usual…
“There are three types of lies — lies, damn lies, and statistics.”
Dear Doug:
One does indeed need to be cautious about accepting poll results as gospel. I present that stat for what it’s worth, not as absolute proof of anything. However, considering socialism is communism-lite, and both socialism and communism are the antithesis of capitalism and liberty, what percentage of the public favoring socialism would you consider desirable and/or safe?
I again ask the greater question… why do they feel socialism is the way? Sometimes dealing with a “threat”, real or otherwise, is a matter not of some deep-seeded ideology but rather that of a disenfranchisement that sets them apart from capitalism. I personally do not fear a threat from what you call the D/S/C because the Constitution is in the way. I do definitely fear Trumpian Cult Republicanism and the blatant attempt to corrupt the democratic voting process… and what will happen in the next two elections.
Dear Doug:
Well, you’re not answering my questions, but some feel it’s the way because they don’t know better, they’ve been indoctrinated rather than taught. Others are Socialists/Marxists and they do what Socialists and Marxists do. Others simply hate America, and all want to “fundamentally transform” it. And you’re afraid of American who want to preserve the Constitution, Capitalism, and ensure election integrity? If your side wins, I hope you like Zebra, because like Venezuela, we’ll be reduced to eating zoo animals.
“Wins” what, Mike? What is it exactly that YOU hope to win from all this? Some Trumpian white exceptionalism dream of the 50’s and 60’s? You still don’t get it, do you? The next election.. 2022.. no one wins. Trump has already got you and the rest of his cult believing the next couple elections are frauds.. and we haven’t even voted yet.
Such arrogance to presume others have been “indoctrinated” and only Trumpians have the real “truth”.
Dear Doug:
The only win I seek is the preservation of the Constitution, and with it, the preservation of our republic. And no, the 2022 and 2024 elections, having not yet occurred, are not fraudulent. There is, apart from importing illegal millions to dilute or eliminate the votes of actual Americans, enormous potential for continuing electoral fraud, which every American should wish to prevent. If we can’t be reasonably certain elections were fair and lawfully conducted, America will fall.
“Continuing” electoral fraud? When did fraud occur?
Dear Doug:
Stand by for later this week…
Uh huh.
It finally hit me. “Trumpian white exceptionalism”…the Trump “cult”…”Trumpians”… The subverters’ new “that’s racist!” scream.
There are enemies of our Constitutional Republic and there are preservers of The Republic. The preservers win if we preserve the rule of law. The enemies win when the Constitution falls, and they get to write new, blue law.
The fact that Trump convinced you that there are Americans who are “enemies” and other Americans who are “patriots” (in your term, “preservers”) pretty much suggests no one will “win” a damn thing… and the country loses either way.
Quit thinking with your trigger finger.
Dear Doug,
It seems that you read my response to Mike. If that is correct, you are not reading for comprehension, Doug. Instead of commenting on the points that I made, you pull a couple of words and turn it into a personal attack (ever hear of ‘ad hominem’?). Don’t worry, though, I won’t take it personally.
Yes. There are U.S. citizens (or ‘Americans’) who are anti-Constitution. And, yes, they are ‘enemies’ of The Constitution. And, yes, there are those who want to preserve The Constitution — or ‘preservers’ of The Constitution. I belong to the latter group. And I don’t know to which you belong. You keep beating the “Trumpian-cult-no-one-will-‘win’-a-damn-thing” drum, so it’s hard to tell. Oh well.
IF you had comprehended what I wrote, you would have noted that my ‘wondering’ has spanned decades. To be specific, nearly 40 years . . . LONG before I even knew there was such a thing as a Donald Trump. So, NO. Trump didn’t convince me of ANYTHING. [What IS it with you and “Trump”, anyway? And are you more at ease with the Biden thing?]
And your closing quip, while ‘cute’, is just plain bullshit. I don’t even know what “Quit thinking with your trigger finger” even means. There was nothing in my referenced response that remotely indicates that my ‘trigger finger’ is involved.
This comment of yours is proof enough for me that your main, narrow objective is without principle, rooted only in personalities, and averse to Reason. No attack — just holding up a mirror. You have my pity and well wishes.

And here I thought we were falling in love.
Oh yes… while Trump himself is not to blame for the growing over the decades of right wing Conservatism taking on the resistance to social demographic and political change, he has certainly been the trigger for the current national discontent, exploiting disfavor with our democratic election process, and the MAGA nonsense as being a return to something “better”, when in fact America has always been great. People have succumbed to his lies and deceit and aberrant, immoral, and sick behavior. He is not ending… his cult worship will drag the republic down. The worst is yet to come.
Yeah.. to me he’s a big deal simply because people follow his nonsense and presume that is what’s good for the country.
Biden? This isn’t about comparing one administration against the other by any means. Biden has no control over his supporters as Trump has over his. Biden has more respect for the office, to be sure. That by no means all his decisions will be wonderful for all.
You want to “preserve” and/or defend the Constitution then simply abide by it and believe in it. Which means, abiding by the will of the people. Simply screaming “traitors!”, “Marxists!”, “Socialists!” and threatening a new civil war to make sure “your way” prevails matters not to the will of the people. It surely does matter if you want to destroy our Constitutional Republic to prove a point.
Dear Doug:
The problem is not abiding by the will of the people. That’s the “democracy” D/S/Cs continually scream Normal Americans are trying to destroy. What’s at stake is our constitutional republic, which prevents the tyranny of the majority–unvarnished democracy.
I have wondered for decades, FOR what do these anti-capitalists stand? This tidbit (elephant in the room) is telling. Socialism is actually a precursor to Communism — a state of perpetual unrest, fomented by a group, regardless of actual ‘size’ (polls?), that is AGAINST ‘something’.
The Marxian class struggle is boiled down to the Proletariat AGAINST the Capitalists, or bourgeoisie, and the Petite Bourgeoisie. The Communist-Socialists manipulate, or attempt to manipulate, the Proletariat in order to whip up frenzy AGAINST the perceived or real Bourgeois oppression.
The terminology has been tweaked over time, but the goal remains the same — to steal from those who earn, and redistribute what has been earned to those who will use it to establish themselves as a New Elite…from one oligarchy to another. Communists Socialists use ‘sleight of hand’ to move from ‘bad’ to worse.
The real question is: What percentage of the public (1) have any idea what Marxists want to do, and (2) want to trade a ‘difficult’ struggle for a devastatingly destructive oppressive set of circumstances where struggle is eradicated? THIS is what we see playing out before our eyes.
Few people have any real understanding of the ‘Constitutional Republic’ with its democratic underpinning. Fewer still have any comprehension of the inevitable destruction wrought by oligarchic oppression under Communism.
Those who claim not to ‘fear’ — or be alarmed by, or concerned with — Socialist-Communists (D/S/Cs?) because The Constitution is ‘in the way’, aren’t paying attention. There is a REASON that The Oath includes the line “…I will support and defend The Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic….”
The defense of The Constitution MUST be greater than the forces attempting to eliminate said Grand Law. If or when the defense becomes LESS than the attack, The Constitution will fall.
A people that stands for nothing will fall for anything.

Dear Doug:
Thanks for the link!
Historically once the socialists/communists take over, the leadership eliminates their internal opposition. Stalin in the USSR is an example. Even Iran did it after the religious zealots took over. Nobody is covering it that I have noticed, but with the freedom that was in existence in Afghanistan for a period of time, gays and other “unacceptables” to the Tabilan came out and now may find themselves hunted down. If it hits the fan, the Leftists who have self outed and pushed for the destruction of America may just find themselves hunted down too but by vigilantes.
You mean, there are American citizens who are waking up this morning with the goal to destroy America… and have the political numbers to carry out… and only Trump people know this to be fact?
Dear Doug:
You’re really not reading the words of the D/S/Cs saying exactly that, not implying, but actually saying such things? You really don’t understand bankrupting the country–and it’s D/S/Cs working to do that–would destroy the country?
Bankrupting the country? It seems I recall Trump increased the national debt by 40%. Last I heard the national debt exceeds our GNP by 20%. That’s a D/S/C thing?
Dear Doug:
Nice try. Remember Biden telling us spending billions we don’t have costs nothing? Remember one of his acolytes declaring the government can spend as much money as it wants? Better yet, read this: https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/10/radical-joe-biden-officially-rejects-moderate-stance-that-got-him-elected/
Nice try? You prefer to ignore Trump’s contribution to our national debt? Why would that be, I wonder?
Your highly biased “source” failed to indicate Biden’s 3.5 trillion social spending plan was over ten years years…
“Democrats have also included a tax plan to pay for the provisions in the bill.
The corporate tax rate would rise from 21% to 26%, and the top income tax rate for Americans making over $400,000 would increase from 37% to 39.6%. The top capital gains rate would also go from 20% to 25%.
Democrats are also looking to beef up tax enforcement by the Internal Revenue Service as a vehicle for paying for the package.
The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the tax changes spearheaded by Democrats would raise more than $2 trillion in revenue over 10 years, with roughly $1 trillion in tax increases from high-income Americans and nearly $1 trillion from corporate and international tax reforms.”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/budget-reconciliation-bill-build-back-better-act/
I am personally not jumping for joy over a couple of the bill’s allocations… but it is hardly the doom-and-gloom Biden haters think it is.
The Infrastructure bill? Of that 1.2 trillion 579 billion is new spending.. all of that over 5 years… and there’s a list of how everything will be finance here, if you are interested.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/whats-us-senates-12-trillion-infrastructure-plan-2021-06-24/
I don’t see any “bankrupting” spending going on. You’re worried about what some “acolyte” of Biden says? Like much of what you profess, you leave out context, I’m sure.
Dear Doug:
I would appreciate it if you would not seize these threads and take them off topic. This article was about Americans left behind in Afghanistan.
Regarding spending, while it’s essential to understand actual history, we’re dealing with the present and the future. I’ll make one further point: Presidents don’t legislate or spend money; that’s up to Congress, but that said, it was Barack Obama who ran up more debt in eight years than every president before him combined. And it’s not 3.5 trillion, it’s actually something like 5.5 trillion. Over ten years? Ah. So it might take a bit longer to be bankrupt? What a relief.
Corporations don’t pay taxes. Individuals do, and any taxes levied on corporations will be passed on to the public, as they always are and must be. I’ll be writing about Biden’s plan to suck the last drop of moisture out of stones later this week. Keep in mind, however, taxing the rich, and every other scheme to hire 100,000 more IRS employees to squeeze every possible penny out of Americans won’t work. There is not enough money in the world to keep up with congressional spending.
And no, I’m taking nothing out of context. The federal official said exactly that, as do others who think there is no consequence to printing money and say just that–constantly.
