Re: The Demos’ Lunatic Midterm Lineup
“This brief history of political swings was interesting — both because of how we got where we are today, and because it’s a reminder that a swing to the left will be met with a swing in the other direction.” —Michigan
“As a Trump supporter, I have to admit that I am looking forward to the day when he is not around to trigger the Democrats’ derangement syndrome so we can refocus on substance rather than strident rhetoric.” —California
“The Demos’ lunatic midterm lineup is the result of the DSA’s takeover of the Democrat Party, all made possible by their widespread infiltration and influence of our nation’s education institutions at all levels, aided and abetted by an equally leftist-infiltrated mainstream media. Americans who value our constitutionally provided rights, freedom, and liberty must recognize this pendulum shift and vote to stop it in its tracks.” —Florida
“Barack Obama was the archetypal ‘Manchurian Candidate,’ and Abdul El-Sayed is using his template.” —Massachusetts
“Do not trust this foreigner! The Muslims are trying to infiltrate our politics. Then they’ll destroy America!” —Illinois
Re: When Your Mother Calls You a Liar in an Attack Ad
“It doesn’t really matter at this point what Ramaswamy does or does not do. The fact of the matter is that the Democrats are solidly unified and march in lockstep. So they parade out even the most despicable and outrageous candidates on the planet, and they will rally the wagons and support them all the way through election day. Funny how the Right does not follow this protocol and, in doing so, has shot itself in the foot over and over again. I am not saying we should jettison all common sense and virtue, but you have to give credit to the Dems. They get the job done!” —North Carolina
Re: ‘Mostly Peaceful’ Riots Engulf France
“Wow! What do people expect when they invite foreigners into the country with no expectation of assimilation? Deport them all, or face the consequences. It is now probably too late!” —Colorado
“We are in the same danger as France, but most of our resistance movement is coming from the enemies that walk among us and weaponize all aspects of American life to use them against the people of the United States.” —Utah
“I hope and pray this is not another 1789 Revolution, because France has a Congress of sorts and a 1958 constitution.” —New York
“Of course, since the French cannot own firearms, they have no way to defend themselves from the Desert Barbarians.” —California
Re: What in the World Is Going on in the White House Press Office?
“I’m stating the obvious, but if this were a Democrat administration, it would be crickets. Yes, it’s a totally legitimate issue — it’s just that a huge double standard exists, and Republicans must go out of their way to make sure there are few or no flaws, which really should be the case for any party.” —Texas
“‘Zacharia quickly explained it away, saying that even though she isn’t licensed to practice law, she can call herself a lawyer because she went through the same training as an attorney.’ Oops. Mrs Zacharia must be unfamiliar with state licensing laws. In my field (engineering), a person ‘trained in engineering’ cannot legally offer engineering services as an engineer to the public without a license. The state engineering boards are very active in prosecuting individuals who offer services to the public as an engineer but do not have a valid state license. There are certain exceptions for those who hold ‘engineering’ positions in industry but are not licensed, but they cannot offer engineering services to the public. Maybe the legal profession is different, but I doubt it.” —Texas
Re: The High Cost of Birthright Citizenship
“There is another article I have read about this problem. The article states that these U.S. citizens are subject to the Internal Revenue Code. That means they must file income tax returns annually just like the rest of us. Failure to file is a civil offense. If it is a willful decision not to file, it becomes a federal misdemeanor. Trump should have Scott Bessent pursue sending mass compliance letters to all Chinese citizens and let the fun begin.” —Wisconsin
“I want to thank you for the explanation on the birthright issues. I like The Patriot Post. I don’t always agree, but it is most informative.” —Wisconsin
Re: Leftists Celebrated Kirk’s Murder and Now Oppose a Terrorist’s Execution
“Today it is considered ‘chic’ to espouse murder and mayhem, to practice free-range promiscuity and throw away the result like such refuse. But they forget that the dawn of reckoning will arrive. Those who betray the Lord shall cringe before his wrath, and they will screech in horror and be cursed for all eternity. Whether it happens in daylight or dark, it matters not, for the balance of justice shall be leveled. So has it been written; so shall it be done.” —Texas
“The leftists have double standards, as evidenced by a page of facts citing their hypocrisy. Now everybody act surprised.” —South Carolina
Re: Ethanol Fuels Higher Prices
“I have long been opposed to ethanol in gasoline. Ethanol contains less energy than gasoline, so the blend is less efficient, which makes gas more expensive. Ethanol is, sooner or later, certain death for carburetors in gasoline small engines in lawnmowers, trimmers, edgers, etc. Fortunately, there are gas stations that offer ethanol-free gas, but it is 92 octane and more expensive; it does not destroy small-engine carburetors. Ethanol in gas is purely political, a sop to the politicians in corn-producing states. Every gas station should be required to offer ethanol-free fuel for those who want it.” —Texas
“Yeah, and it takes .85 gallons of diesel to make one gallon of ethanol. I have always wondered how there were any savings.” —New York
