Re: The Real Russia vs. America Debate
“Tucker Carlson is ankle-deep in ‘useful idiot’ waters. This is an impossible comparison. Average income in Russia/Ukraine is 1/10th of what it is here. Prices of everything reflect that. In other words, you can’t sell a week’s worth of family groceries for $400 if that is twice what a family’s income is. Normal people in Ukraine/Russia also visit open-air reinoks (produce markets) and street-corner babushkas, i.e., vendors who grew it/pick it themselves for much less the cost of small groceries or gastronoms (large groceries). I’d know. I’ve lived there, and my wife is from Ukraine. It’s frightening that a bright and popular journalist like Carlson could be so shockingly under-informed.” —Oklahoma
“I had the same reaction to the interview as you did and I am very disappointed with Carlson for doing his ‘sound bite’ analysis. He’s much better than that (but I guess he had a specific agenda for this reporting). Shame on him. I lived in Moscow after the curtain came down and I would not be alive today if I had ventured into that specific subway station where my socks were more valuable than my life to the hoards living in what was then a cesspool of broken humanity. You couldn’t even make out the murals or other Stalin-created propaganda creations. And the food store charade is really misleading. But what the heck do I know? I only lived there!” —Colorado
“I can’t see anything wrong with Tucker’s interview with Putin. And I didn’t think his trip through the grocery store was meant to show how much better they had it than we do, no matter how poorly Biden is performing. I thought he was debunking the Cold War-era vision of people in ragged clothes standing in line in a blizzard to enter a store with little on the shelves.” —Texas
“Alas, the modern Democrat Party’s vision of resolving the problems of government is to shred the Constitution and destroy the government and country it empowers in order to replace it all with one that benefits only themselves. In other words, communism. This is against the law, but who will stop and arrest these traitors when they now use the very power of the government they despise to conduct their perfidy? Reagan was correct: We need God’s help, now!” —North Carolina
Re: Will Demo Delegates Dump Biden?
“I can understand why suggesting Biden would not be the 2024 nominee was a long-shot prediction 16 months ago when Alexander suggested it, but it certainly has currency among some Democrat strategists now. Unfortunately, I agree with Alexander that because of the fear and division Trump has generated over the last seven years, almost as if he thrives on it, the Democrats could nominate a turnip for the 2024 ballot and they still might defeat Trump.” —California
Re: Rehabilitating Biden’s Afghanistan Disaster
“Biden and his abetting lapdogs are banking on the American people forgiving and forgetting his bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, but leave it to leftist media to totally ignore Biden’s failures but never cease in perpetuating all the lies they invented claiming what Trump never did.” —North Carolina
“Alejandro Mayorkas is correct in his remarks about not slowing down the work ‘tasked to him’ by the president. He is dutifully following his orders from above, which are to look the other way while allowing thousands of illegals into the U.S. to change the demographics and rebuild the Democrat base.” —Pennsylvania
Re: Biden Admin Wants to Spread HIV?
“‘According to the DOJ … the Tennessee law "discriminates” against people with HIV.’ Yes, it does, as it should. ‘Discrimination’ is not in itself evil; all the word means is taking notice of differences and presumably acting on the noted distinction. If the differences are relevant, there’s no problem. Only if the differences are irrelevant (as is, in most cases, skin color) is discrimination necessarily a bad thing. The Tennessee law discriminates between those who are in a position to give someone else a life-changing (if not life-threatening) disease, and those who are not. In a normal world, this is considered good.“ —Georgia
Re: In Brief: America’s Space War Vulnerability
"All of these Chicken Little cries of ‘The sky is falling!’ are annoying at best! The U.S. military has technology that is mind-boggling, including hypersonic tech. Way back in 2004, we set the world record speed at Mach 9.6. I’m thinking we have progressed since then! Warfare has always led to the greatest leaps forward in technology, as well as the greatest profits. As such, we have spent billions on weapon technology. Just browse the Internet and you will be amazed at what we already have. That being said, just imagine what we may have that we are unaware of. It’s not like our government doesn’t keep secrets from us and the military doesn’t keep secrets from our government!” —California
Re: Profiles of Valor: Ted Williams
“I learned a lot here about Williams’s military years I had never heard before, including that John Glenn was his squadron leader in Korea at the time Williams crash-landed. I saw Williams play several times as a kid before starting my Army career.” —Massachusetts
