Re: The Wrong Kind of Asylum Seekers
“Here we go again. ICE tried the same thing on the Romeikes during the Obama administration, using the same argument. The argument that the ‘law applies equally to everyone, so it isn’t religious discrimination’ is as wrong now as it was then. The German state education system requires every child to be taught anti-Christian concepts, contrary to the Scriptural commands of Deuteronomy 6:4-7, Proverbs 22:6, and Ephesians 6:4. The Holy Spirit requires parents to oversee their children’s education. If Germany required every woman to abort her second child, contrary to the teachings of Judaism and Christianity, would that not be grounds for asylum? Why is it not also the case when the state demands children be offered up for spiritual murder?” —Minnesota
“I saw this family on Fox News. It’s getting harder and harder to see the destruction of everything we hold near and dear! This family sounds like good, solid citizens, unlike many who are coming across the border. Our Founding Fathers saw that his could happen if we left our basic morality. And it seems to be pretty much gone, though there are hopeful signs among many of our young people who are working at YAF and PragerU. And I’m sure there are others. Of course, the good ones don’t make the news!” —Tennessee
“Unfortunately, elections have consequences. The communists have made a major move, and we all suffer as a result. That is, unless one falls into lockstep with their perverted ideology. Their plan is to change the demographics of this society, just as they did in South Africa, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Venezuela, Columbia, and so many others. The thing I do not understand is why so many voters are voting for these communist perverts, for they clearly state they’re for a ‘One World Government.’ Even in this country we have two government ideologies. I see no way a One World Government would benefit humanity. Nor would it work.” —Tennessee
“The operative word in there is ‘harmful.’ Is it ‘harmful’ to kill the unborn child? Is it ‘harmful’ to allow immigrants to be illegally transported, or allowed to die in the desert, or made to carry lethal drugs? Is it ‘harmful’ to violate our Constitution in favor of lies and propaganda? Is it ‘harmful’ to give children gene-altering drugs or perform irreversible surgery? It is ‘harmful’ to mandate closure of schools or churches for capricious medical statements? Is it ‘harmful’ to close or restrict the petroleum industry in the name of ‘science’? Is it ‘harmful’ to attempt to intimidate our voting system? Is it ‘harmful’ to allow members of Congress to lie, cheat, or steal and pretend to be helping our communities? Who is being helped?” —Washington
“Freedom of speech is a vital part of the governing of a nation of free people. If the people do not have the liberty to propose and debate ideas, or to discuss the character of their leaders, they will not long remain free. This poses a dilemma: Given the necessity of free speech, how much can one advocate for its suppression without engaging in sedition? A government agent colluding with a non-government entity to suppress speech of social or political interests is unconstitutional. If it is intended to affect elections or conceal other malfeasance, is it insurrection?” —Minnesota
Re: Good News: Dallas Mayor Admits He’s Republican
“Actions SHOUT, while words whisper. Those who paid attention before the party switch KNEW they had a GOP mayor and were just waiting for him to realize it and accept the facts of his own leadership. I’m sure there are a few, very few, other GOP pols in Demo-wolf clothing. Isn’t it time they also admitted it to themselves and came out of their closet?” —California
Re: Ewww Canada
“This confounds me; who could be so ignorant of history? Are they really that stupid? It just seems that there is more to this, perhaps some nefarious intent in honoring a Nazi, I mean, it’s not like they ever really were defeated. Just look at the WEF and how many were the children of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers!” —California
“And just where is Hunter getting the money to hire a high-profile attorney to file suits against Rudy Giuliani? Maybe he sweet-talked him into taking the case like accident victim lawyers do (you only pay when you win). I hope so. That way the scumbag lawyer can pay up when Giuliani wins a countersuit for defamation.” —Florida
“The ‘lets find another way to tax people’ group is now finding there aren’t enough taxes on EVs. Remember all those bike lanes we are paying for? I don’t recall seeing a license plate on any of those bikes. You know there should be a revenue source there.” —Washington
Re: Profiles of Valor — Capt. William S. Reeder
“Every time you profile a hero, you note their humility, and unless you already knew of their valor, you would never suspect it by observing their daily conduct. And every time I read your description, I think of Bill Reeder, so thank you for profiling his service. As an Army Captain, Aviator, I served with then-LTC Reeder at Fort Lewis, developing special tactics for Army aviation employment. After almost a year, someone clued me in on LTC Reeder’s story. When I thanked him, his response was typical, something like ‘Thanks,’ and it was back to business. He expected nothing more; he’s the real deal.” —Missouri
Re: Good Riddance, Gen. Woke Milley
“It’s amazing that Milley attended the ceremony to award Capt. Taylor the Medal of Honor. Taylor received that honor because of his steadfast commitment to ‘leave no man behind.’ Apparently Milley never got that memo.” —Virginia
“I served with Milley for years. Before he was appointed by Trump and became a Beltway resident infected with ‘Potomac Fever,’ his service was honorable. Same for Austin. But both men have been elevated far beyond their functional pay grade, and the consequences have been terrible for our frontline forces. I am in association with many now-retired senior flag officers, none of whom have favorable adjectives to describe Milley.” —Maryland
