“Joe Biden is senile and has been since before the 2020 run. Why else would the DNC hide him in his basement during the campaign? But he wasn’t senile (although never one of the brightest bulbs) when he was mishandling secret documents and disclosing secret information. If we can spend time and money investigating Trump for supposedly colluding with the Russians or fabricating an insurrection, we can afford the time and money to expose Biden’s corruption and arrogance. Hang out the dirty laundry for all to see.” —New Hampshire
“Biden’s extremely poor judgement in deciding to address the nation to take issue with and deny Robert Hur’s special counsel findings poignantly confirmed that he is incapable of effectively discharging the duties and responsibilities of the presidential office. This is particularly frightening for our nation given the volatility of current events in Eastern Europe and the Middle and Far East. That the leftist media for the most part would also immediately deny the findings and attempt to cover for Biden is even more frightening and unconscionable. It is past time that the truth concerning the serious perils of the Biden presidency be recognized and honestly reported. Our democracy and free world leadership depend upon it.” —Florida
“Hur’s report states that Biden ‘willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,’ but also that ‘it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him … of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.’ But ‘willfulness’ is NOT required. Anyone who has held a security clearance knows that for one to be charged with mishandling classified documents, intent is irrelevant. To do so, even accidentally, is a crime.” —Georgia
“Either Mr. Biden truly is in an advanced state of dementia, or this is an elaborate act to ‘gracefully’ bow out of a presidential campaign he is likely to lose and also to avoid legal consequences for his questionable actions, including mishandling classified materials dating back to his time in the Senate. Either way, somebody in the White House is lying to us — those who are insisting he’s quite fit to be president, or those orchestrating an act to support a plea of mental incompetence to stand trial. This is a sad time for the nation and a disgrace to the presidency.” —Minnesota
“Your comment about 70% of the players being African American in the NFL brought a comment to mind. Has anyone brought a civil rights action against the NFL or NBA for ethnic quotas? Where are the Asian or Hispanic players? How about a female-to-male ‘trans’? Where are they? Why are caucasian players so underrepresented in both sports? Imagine any other business in the U.S. with a ratio of 70% caucasian and the remaining 30% of the workforce made up of other ethnic groups. There would be (has been) demonstrations/riots in the street and boycotts. Anyway, thanks for such a good and timely article.” —California
Re: Team Biden Told Banks to Surveil Republicans
“Therein lies the problem. The GOP is great at writing letters and issuing subpoenas but not very good at legislating. When it was in the majority, the GOP had a chance to fix many of the issues with which we are wrestling today. It failed to pass meaningful legislation. It’s easier to write letters and issue subpoenas, as they make for great soundbites. It takes hard work and determination to legislate and resolve difficult issues.” —California
“One of the greatest ironies of this is the targeting of Dick’s Sporting Goods. A number of years ago, Dick’s announced that it would no longer sell any ‘assault weapons’ (i.e., semiautomatic rifles that take 30-round standard-capacity magazines) and removed from inventory all firearms of that description as well as all handguns. That prompted a boycott of Dick’s by gun owners and others who value our Second Amendment rights. The last time I set foot in a Dick’s store a few years ago, I didn’t see any firearms at all.” —Arizona
“It’s so refreshing to learn that my winter boot purchase at Cabela’s makes me an insurrectionist threat. That’s the most damage my size fours have ever created. MAGA MOGSA! (Make America Great Again, Make Our Government Small Again.)” —Montana
Re: ChiComs’ Useful Microsoft Idiots
“Microsoft has a long history of cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party’s security demands at the expense of the rights of users. It isn’t mentioned much now, but Microsoft famously caved to Chinese security officials’ insistence on access to back doors into the Windows operating system (at least in versions to be sold in China) as a condition of doing business in or with China.” —Minnesota
Re: Does Bud Light Deserve a Second Chance?
“If A-B isn’t a woke company, why the donation to the National LGBT[whatever] Chamber of Commerce, much less the Mulvaney debacle? The donation merely proves that while the company may attempt occasional damage control, there has been no actual repentance. As for an apology, how believable would one be at this point?” —Oklahoma
Re: Avoiding the Abortion Pill’s Inconvenient Truths
“The detractors of the study in question claim only health emergencies requiring surgery or hospitalization are significant. This is dangerously wrong. A woman discovering over the weekend that she has an infection as a result of chemically aborting her baby should not wait until Monday morning to see a doctor. An untreated infection can rapidly turn into sepsis, a life-threatening condition, or damage to reproductive organs that could destroy any possibility of having another child. Thus, ER visits resulting in a prescription for antibiotics or anti-hemorrhagic medication absolutely should be counted as resulting from complications.” —Minnesota
Re: The Cartel Influence in Mexico
“Recently I was in a Mexican restaurant in MN when I overheard a conversation between the manager and the bartender. They were openly discussing the system of corridors and pipelines in use by smugglers to move cocaine from Colombia to the U.S. They discussed how important it will be to establish zones of control for the cartels inside the U.S. I wasn’t too terribly surprised to hear about the existence of pipelines; I was shocked at the brazen manner by which it was openly being discussed. These two fellows were arrogant.” —Minnesota
