Re: Stevens Stands Up to the Jew-Hatred
“If more representatives spoke their own minds rather than regurgitating the party line, we would be better represented. Most people vote for a person and not for the party leadership’s version of that person. Bravo for a brave person.” —Washington
“There’s also a saying, ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,’ and an emotional, scorched-earth, sour-grapes response is not a shocker. There’s a substantial difference between courage and outrage. Stevens has never liked El-Sayed, which is understandable, because he’s an odious little piece of filth. Now she gets a chance to do what she’s likely been dreaming of doing since her narrow loss in the primary.” —Oklahoma
Re: A Midterm Replay — Maybe Not
“Indeed, voters complaining about paying extra for gas have no idea what a bargain that is compared to the detonation of a nuclear weapon in some urban center by Iranian surrogate — a very real possibility before Trump took action against Iran. Unfortunately, as Alexander noted, Trump failed to make his case for action against Iran.” —Minnesota
Re: Sleazy Dems Rig Alaska Senate Race
“If Mary Peltola becomes senator, all the Republican and DOJ investigations will be futile. Even if some campaign operatives are convicted under RICO (highly unlikely), it won’t matter: Peltola will be Alaska’s junior senator for six years — and possibly the one representing the switch to a Democrat-majority disaster.” —Pennsylvania
Re: Prosecutors Downgrade Charges to Protect Illegals
“Forgive my ignorance of the law, but isn’t crossing our border illegally a federal crime? If so, how do states and cities get away with creating sanctuary for these illegals and ignoring federal law? Which then begs the question: Why aren’t all these sanctuary advocates, mayors, and governors arrested, along with the illegals, and charged with failure to uphold federal law?” —Illinois
“Deliberately adjusting charges downward on account of someone being an illegal alien is a felony under this statute. If it can be shown that doing so enabled the accused to commit a violent crime, the prosecutors face extra penalties for their abuse of power.” —Minnesota
“Completely unnecessary to comp charges for illegals and other imported criminals. We have enough homegrown criminals.” —Oklahoma
Re: A Welcome ‘Presidential Message on Reformation Day’
“It is sad that one of the few times the mainstream media will favorably note the position of a ‘Catholic’ public official on a moral issue is when it is espoused by a Catholic in Name Only (CINO) like Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi. May God have mercy on their souls.” —Minnesota
“The excerpts that Nate Jackson published are something that Catholics can appreciate also, with its emphasis on the role of Scripture in the vernacular, something the Catholic Church is also in favor of.” —California
“President Trump used ‘we’ and ‘our’ a lot in his message. To me, that sounds like he regards himself a Christian. For his sake, I pray that is in fact the case.” —Texas
Re: Another Race Hate Hoax, This Time Exploiting a Three-Year-Old Soccer Prodigy
“It is clear that many parents spend more time at happy hour than they do working with their child’s learning tasks. Institutionally trained students with little moral guidance results in the intense sense of victimhood that drives the poor-me, trophy-for-everyone generation.” —Washington
“Ms. Rachel would do well to heed Proverbs 18:13: ‘He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him.’ It is also great folly and shame for her to refuse to acknowledge when she has made an obvious mistake like this. Let us be careful that we do not likewise let our pride lead us into similar foolishness.” —Minnesota
Re: Profiles of Valor: Super Six Four — Black Hawk Down
“I’m a Navy veteran who was formerly crewed on CVN-68, the USS Nimitz. Can you see it? CVN-83, ‘The Slick Willie.’ Come on, President Trump — rename that one after someone who deserves it.” —Illinois
“Yet another reason there should never be a USS Bill Clinton — his assault on American citizens in Waco, Texas, in ’92.” —Colorado
“I have never heard the rest of the story about Black Hawk Down. Thanks for this. I just bought Mike Durant’s book.” —Texas
