Re: Teamsters Make Big RNC Donation

“‘Inflation is coming down’ may be true, but prices are NOT coming down; they are in fact still climbing. That is what the working family must deal with. Prices may be down on cars, trucks, houses, furniture, etc., but people don’t buy any of those every day. We do buy groceries every day. When eggs are still 100% to 150% higher today than they were under Trump, and when gas is still twice as much, there is an economic problem!” —Texas

Re: How Old Is Too Old?

“My dad passed away almost two years ago at the age of 92. Before he had a fall that broke his hip about 18 months before he passed, he had been mentally sharp and still played golf multiple times a week. But after the surgery to repair the hip, his mental acuity wasn’t the same, and a later fall that broke his arm seemed to spell the end. But when he was 81, he certainly was in much better condition than Biden is today. I turned 70 last month and still stay active riding my bike almost daily. I’ve ridden over 3,800 miles in the last 12 months. I also manage the website for my wife’s and her partner’s yarn shop. As Jack DeVine says about memory, I, too, struggle with not remembering a person’s name.” —Colorado

“You hit the nail on the head — it’s how a person ages, not what their age is. A lot of us have relatives who are amazingly sharp and fortunately healthy into their 90s, but a lot of us also have relatives who have dementia of some type, and Biden is clearly exhibiting those symptoms. Pushing him to run for reelection is nothing short of elder abuse, not to mention the abuse inflicted on our country with him in office.” —Pennsylvania

Re: Good News: Fertilized Embryos Are Human Lives, Says Alabama

“The president of a leftist medical association said doctors won’t work in Alabama due to this ruling because it would mean ‘running the risk of being brought up on civil or criminal charges.’ Every doctor in every state and every medical field already runs that risk. That is why medical malpractice insurance exists. And exactly what religion does the Washington Post editor think is being established? I guess she has no problem with the government establishing the religions of climate change and LGBTQ+ alphabet soup.” —Delaware

Re: Trans Activists Target Famous American Cathedral

“Deception was the plan that was used by the trans thugs to get into St. Patrick’s Cathedral. I understand why they were allowed to enter and begin the disgusting ceremony. What I don’t understand is why the event was allowed to continue after witnessing the debauchery displayed by these immoral goons. All it takes for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing.” —California

Re: In Brief: The Kennedys Caused Today’s Immigration Crisis

“I don’t think what we see today is what President Kennedy imagined it would become. Kennedy tried to present freedom against communism, and those who came over took advantage of it and spent years changing America into what it is now. I’m not putting this on Kennedy when his intention was good. Who I am putting this on is those administrations that saw it slowly getting worse and did nothing about it. We can blame the past on where it started, but to do nothing about it today is on us.” —Illinois

Re: Lady MacBiden Seethes and Schemes

“Co-President Jill Biden obviously craves the most elite blessings of money and power, which only Joe (regardless of his mental or physical health) can give her. If only she cared for her husband’s and nation’s well-being as much.” —North Carolina

Re: Biden Transfers More Student Loans to Taxpayers, Wants a ‘Thank You’

“No one mentions those parents, like myself, who took out Parental Plus loans in order to send their kids to college. I am still paying them off each month even though I’m retired. Of course, that is my fault. Going through Chapter 7 bankruptcy absolved all my debts, EXCEPT my unpaid federal taxes and my Parental Plus loans. I am not asking for, nor expecting, any forgiveness, but now I must also pay for the college educations for children who do not belong to me. I had no say in where they chose to go to school, what their major would be, or how much they borrowed. I at least had those choices with my own children.” —Ohio

“How can nobody have standing to sue to enjoin this embezzlement/vote-buying scam? Generations of taxpayers are on the hook for the national debt; this scheme, without appropriation or authorization from Congress, puts off the day of freedom from the national debt still further. It’s arguably contempt of court; simply shuffling words around and reducing the amounts or ‘qualifications’ are merely attempts to evade the clear ruling that the president has zero authority to retroactively change loan terms and fob the amount due onto somebody else. It seems obvious that any group of people who have paid and will pay taxes to the federal government, or whose U.S. bond holdings are at greater risk of downgrade, form an injured class.” —Minnesota

Re: Yet Another ‘Christian Nationalism’ Attack by Leftmedia

“What I find so interesting is that a lot of religious but non-Christian people have moral values that differ from the Left’s beliefs. When will the Left begin attacking them? The Muslims do not believe in gender fluidity; when will they be attacked? I have not met many Muslims who were not pretty conservative in their belief systems. Perhaps the least-understood comment from the Left is the belief that the rest of the world sees America as a non-Christian nation. Most on the Left have no idea how the world sees them. The complete lack of self-awareness is so bizarre. My greatest prayer is that fear will be lifted and self-awareness will be revealed.” —Wisconsin

Re: Trump’s Prospects if Demo Delegates Dump Biden

“Democrat delegates will likely nominate a ‘woman of color,’ one who, like Biden, will be a puppet for Barack Obama. That could be Michelle O or Susan Rice. Trump’s chances of defeating that ticket will again, as in 2016 when he added Pence to his ticket, ride on his VP choice.” —Washington

“Alexander noted this wild card with regard to Trump’s legal issues: ‘It may also fall to the delegates at the Republican Convention to determine an alternate candidate.’ My hope is that this is why Ron DeSantis bowed out so early. I’ll vote for Donald Trump again, but like most of the country, I’d sure prefer something other than a 2020 rerun.” —Georgia

“Democrats are the Party of HATE. When Republicans refuse to vote for their party’s nominee, the undeniable fact is that they are, in effect, voting for the Party of Hate.” —Wisconsin

Re: Profiles of Valor: Ted Williams

“These profiles are great reminders of great Americans, and just what I would expect from a great American publication, The Patriot Post!” —California
