Re: Will Demo Delegates Dump Biden?

“The House GOP leadership should follow the advice of Napoleon Bonaparte: ‘When your enemy is making a mistake, don’t interrupt him!’ The unseen Politburo in the White House, which has been ruining the nation since January 2021, continues to use Biden as a frontman. The DNC has shut out all other Democrat presidential candidates, all of whom are more competent than either Biden or Harris. Now the Democrats must either (a) invoke the 25th Amendment and rally behind Kamala Harris, or (b) keep propping up the barely walking cadaver until he dies, then scramble to find someone to replace him. Keep it up, Democrats!” —Arizona

“Special Counsel Robert Hur’s words ‘a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory’ do not sit well with me, nor should they with anyone else. Biden is a callous, self-dealing, hypocritical political animal, and age or feeble-mindedness should not excuse him from the full application of the law as the consequence of his treacherous actions and activities.” —Massachusetts

“I don’t think Biden will step down and be replaced at the convention. He has too much personal stake in wanting to defeat Trump again to vindicate his ‘threat to democracy’ rhetoric. And party bosses just aren’t what they used to be — parties used to wield a lot more clout back when they chose the nominees at a convention.” —California

Re: Dems Insist Biden Is Fine, Attack Republicans Instead

“Robert Hur should be commended for his courage to honestly report Joe Biden’s unfitness to effectively perform the duties and responsibilities of the U.S. president. Biden’s diminished capacities are particularly relevant regarding the challenging judgment calls required in his commander-in-chief role given the dire threats the U.S. and its allies are facing from numerous enemy nations in the nuclear arms age. The biased mainstream media have blatantly failed to factually report on Biden’s diminished capacities, instead covering up for him and continuing to do so in light of these most recent ‘revelations.’ The media must return to honest and objective reporting. The future of our nation and the world are at stake.” —Florida

Re: Could the Justices Go 9-0 on Colorado?

“The presidential candidate denied a place on a state ballot must be clearly guilty if insurrection is to apply. The title ‘insurrectionist’ requires proof beyond any doubt. The sanctions against the partisans who make such a claim, if found without merit, must be at least equivalent to the punishment they sought against the presidential candidate in the first place. This is dangerous territory — and it should be!” —Minnesota

Re: Hawaii Bids ‘Aloha’ to the Second Amendment

“I was stationed in Hawaii with the 25th Infantry Division (1990-1993). The Hawaii Supreme Court has a short memory about the ‘Spirit of Aloha.’ It has forgotten the Battle of Nu'uanu in May 1795, when Kamehameha I finished his conquest of Oahu and established the Kingdom of Hawaii. Hawaiians were very good at killing one another and had lots of weapons, including firearms.” —Texas

“I guess the irony here is not only did the Hawaii Supreme Court negate and usurp the Second Amendment, but it forgot its own history. Last time I checked, a group of businessmen took up arms and overthrew the native ruling monarchy. With the recent native Hawaiian movement wanting more rights and compensation, I guess disarming the locals is the way to keep that Aloha spirit going?” —Washington

“The Hawaii Supreme Court is composed of useful idiots. To say something is not in the ‘Spirit of Aloha’ is patently absurd and childish. The Second Amendment was fought for in the design and development of the Bill of Rights and added to the Constitution after the original draft was accepted. And the words ‘shall not be infringed’ were not to be taken lightly and with disdain.” —Massachusetts

“It seems odd that the judges in Hawaii are not aware that the U.S. Constitution is the law of the land. If they didn’t want to be governed accordingly, they should not have joined the union in the first place. I suppose that is an error that could be fixed if necessary. Perhaps they, kind of like Texas, are having second thoughts about staying in the union when it has gone so far off the rails, although for opposite reasons. It is a bit disturbing that both the behavior of our government and the general expectations of the citizens could vary so dramatically from one generation to the next. Sometimes from one administration to the next.” —Florida

Re: When Transgenderism’s Slippery Slope Becomes Reality

“This is just so wrong. I guess the best thing is for women and girls to not show up and just let the transers compete against each other. They will end up brawling against each other in the pools and on the courts. If no one goes to watch the competition, let them go cry on MSNBC.” —Ohio

“I will rage wherever I have a chance and an audience. I will (and do) contribute to Riley Gaines’s organization, which fearlessly promotes women’s sports, and I will continue to. The women in my life all deserve a chance to pursue their dreams in sporting, and I will work to see that those dreams are materialized. Thank you, Emmy, for your eloquent description. Keep up your good work!” —Hawaii

Re: Dissecting ‘Gender-Affirming Care’

“The language of this debate must be grounded in truth. ‘Gender-affirming care’ must be defined as looking between your legs and saying boy or girl. To try and change this biologic truth is ‘gender-mutilating care’ and rooted in a severe mental disorder. The fact that sex is determined at conception must be promulgated as the irreversible truth it is. All of the lies about feelings and ‘my truths’ must be stopped. Take the language back and speak truth to this identity crisis.” —Virginia

Re: Biden’s Cadres of Censors and Free Speech Suppressors

“One of the best summaries of this corrupt outfit I have read anywhere. Indeed, the SPLC can’t survive without constantly stirring the hate pot.” —California

“I read the opening four paragraphs multiple times and simply could not understand how you could be so kind with your description of KJP and her boss JB. I would have chosen much different words, but then your column might not have gotten through spam filters!” —New York

“Great article on the SPLC, and I admire The Patriot Post’s courage for standing up and taking on these Marxist radicals out to destroy the principles of our founding. Keep up the good work.” —Georgia

Re: My Dog’s Magical World

“I also think my dog has me trained. I got her about two and a half years ago when she was eight weeks old and was extremely stubborn doing anything I needed her to do. So I took her to a three-week training course, where they worked wonders. She does the following for me: 1. Wakes me up like an alarm clock that I don’t need. 6:38 AM (+/- two minutes). 2. Sits and stares at me when she needs to go out. 3. Is an extremely finicky eater. Only eats chicken- or beef-flavored delivered food and only specific treats. 4. We can’t say words like ‘daycare’ or ‘bye-bye.’ Usually we have to spell out what we are doing so she doesn’t understand. 5. She is also my self-trained service dog and goes everywhere I go. When wearing a vest and collar, she’s a working dog; take it off, and she’s in puppy mode.” —Illinois
