Re: Gen N: The Narcissist Generation
“Your analysis on the epidemic of Gen Z narcissists was fascinating. Here in New York City, the abundance of these malcontents is apparent. I anxiously await your follow-up article on the woke Boomers who spawned the Millennial and Gen Z narcissists.” —New York
“Alexander has called out the dangerous shift in our culture toward a totally self-focused perception of reality. My objection is that his list of narcissistic politicians omitted one of the worst, Donald Trump. Populism is also highly attractive to narcissists due their insatiable need for attention and adulation. It is both sad and destructive that the great ideals of historic American conservatism have such a flawed standard-bearer! We could have so much better.” —Pennsylvania
“My solution to this narcissistic generation is to round them all up and ship them off, along with their college professors, to the lands occupied by the Islamists they support. There, they will quickly find out that you have to put up or shut up, or in all likelihood die. Oh, those tickets would be one-way — no refunds, no return. Problem solved.” —Iowa
Re: A Union Win for Biden but Not Workers
“Forgetting the graft and corruption that has plagued the union movement for decades, and forgetting the stupidly high salaries paid to union officials who generally know nothing of the trades they supposedly represent, how many union members actually know anything about unionism? What is the first obligation of the worker? The first obligation is not to the union, it’s to the employer. Help the company make money so that it can continue to pay you for your efforts. Unfortunately, the rich union officials only want to line their own pockets, even if it costs you your job.” —Texas
“Tennessee is a right-to-work state. Just because the plant is unionized does not mean everyone must donate part of their wages to the union. Wait and see how many ‘union members’ drop out when they see how much money goes to the union and what the union does with it.” —Florida
“Scam artists call this a bait-and-switch. Electric vehicles are too costly and are only surviving by the use of huge government handouts. Few people want to add up the total cost of this all-electric promotion. Wait until the security breaks down, the brownouts sweep through, promised charging stations fail to appear, and the ‘green’ power sources crash.” —Washington
“It takes a lot fewer workers to produce electric vehicles, so any guarantees these workers get will be just words on paper that will mean nothing when they are unemployed and the jobs move to Mexico.” —Tennessee
“I worked for VW in New Stanton, PA, from ‘78 to '88 (yes, it had a factory there), and when we unionized and finally achieved parity with the Big Three, it promptly closed two years later. I feel this vote is a harbinger of things to come for these folks too.” —Minnesota
Re: Supreme Court Weighs Vagrancy
“Wait. Something is missing here. If homelessness is such a problem, how can illegal aliens expect shelter after breaking immigration laws? Oh, now I get it! These two incongruent situations exist concurrently only because they can be conveniently but callously exploited to satisfy the political expediency of Democrat socialists.” —Missouri
“Since conservative values are based on self-sufficiency and less dependence on government interferences, I would say that the moral high ground dictates that homelessness is the responsibility of the homeless. Therefore, squatting in public (on taxpayer turf) should be made illegal and given consequences after a number of warnings.” —Ohio
“If the Ninth Circuit thinks it’s cruel and unusual punishment, then the punisher must be the state. If so, can the federal government compel the states to house the homeless? By that logic, wouldn’t this become a 9th or 10th Amendment issue?” —New Jersey
Re: The Clock Is Ticking for TikTok
“How can a foreign entity operating in the U.S. expect any mitigation of privacy laws while concurrently expecting free speech rights to allow them to exploit the privacy of our citizens? While the CCP escapes accountability for both the COVID and fentanyl crises, it surreptitiously purchases acres of land next to key infrastructure, dominates the world lithium share, and manufactures key consumer electronics. The CCP is NOT a friend of democracy, liberty, free trade, or the U.S! If we fail to stop the CCP strategy of world economic control by 2050, expect lethal pandemics, severe vital shortages, critical infrastructure failures, and public chaos to abound.” —Missouri
“Interesting that Rand Paul has a problem with FISA and 702 but no problem with TikTok. To me, they’re the same. The ChiComs know as much about all of us as our government spying agencies do. Maybe more.” —Minnesota
“Personal data should be preserved from a position of privacy. Rather than opt out of sharing, we should have to opt in to make our data available. Otherwise it is data theft and it seems no one cares.” —Washington
Re: Another 'Transgender Man’ Planned School Mass Murder
“This sad tale exposes perfectly the fallacy of creating ‘red flag laws’ to disarm the public. Some of the most dangerous candidates are apparently invisible due to the colorblind, trans-enabling progressive fools.” —Illinois
“‘Accomplices’ — we never hear that used in charges against any criminal anymore. I’d say it’s because in this case the media would be an accomplice. By reporting as truth the lies these mental ill people believe in their delusional thinking, they are accomplices. Deception is a killer of all truth.” —California
Re: Biden’s Title IX Revisions Erase Women
“The whole point of this has nothing to do with ‘transgender’ rights and everything to do with turning Western Civilization and USA culture on its ear.” —Idaho
“Biden is lying again when he claims that Trump is against women when these Title IX actions are taken.” —Michigan
“Remember, we have a Supreme Court judge who cannot define a woman.” —Washington
Re: Cleaning House
“Congress gets an ‘F’ in protecting our own country from invasion, particularly from the swamping of our failing public schools with millions of unassimilated, non-English-speaking public charges. This is the knell of our schools, ignored by the press and greasy politicians who send their kids to private schools.” —Illinois
Re: Biden’s Big Earth Day Giveaway
“If Joe would just shut up, he would lower carbon emissions.” —Montana
“If crimes were made illegal again, most of the Democrats in Congress would complete their term from prison.” —Arizona
“Why were Hiroshima and Nagasaki so different from what’s happening in Syria, Somalia, and Iran? Could it be that the president then had more guts than the one with the ice cream cone and sippy cup?” —Texas
Re: In Brief: The Pro-Life Movement Has a Storytelling Problem
“Baby dolls helped young girls model motherhood. Then, starting in 1959, ‘Barbie,’ an adult woman doll, overturned the market. About a decade later, ‘Women’s Liberation’ emerged, and a few years later abortion was legalized. All of this occurred during the sexual revolution. Yet how can we dare to doubt abortion frequency would be drastically reduced if men took full responsibility before impregnation? No sex, no pregnancy, no abortion … duh! Until men lead women in honor and sexual purity, this issue will remain unresolved.” —Missouri
