Re: WaPo’s ‘Fact-Check’ Pyramid Scheme of Pinocchios

“Thanks for exposing another Leftmedia speech suppression ‘cartel,’ as you appropriate call it. The Washington Post and The New York Times have violated journalistic integrity and, consequently, public trust. Polls show very little trust in the mainstream media. Thank you for pushing back in this straightforward example of that violation.” —Pennsylvania

“‘Not a single one of those violent assaults, rapes, and murders [committed by illegal aliens] would have occurred if that illegal immigrant were not in the U.S. Not one.’ Well, they likely would have, except the victim would not be an American citizen like Laken Riley, but someone in, say, Venezuela. Venezuelan criminals (like Riley’s accused murderer, Jose Ibarra) should be in Venezuela, where they’d be the responsibility of the Venezuelan criminal justice system. I hear they’ve got plenty of room in their prisons these days.” —Georgia

“WaPo’s integrity took a fast slide once Trump was elected. Trump Derangement Syndrome and Bezos certainly accelerated that slide. The line between ‘news’ and ‘opinion’ has been obliterated.” —Connecticut

“Thank you for taking down Kessler. These ‘fact-checkers’ exemplify how ‘journalism’ in America has eroded into little more than tabloid nonsense.” —Oregon

Re: Leftist Bigots Unload on White Rural Voters

“On local radio up here in Canada, I heard a comment that more Republicans than Democrats died from COVID, and the commentator said that it was from vaccine resistance. But it immediately popped into my head that mostly old people died, and, yes, old people are more likely to be Republican, but not anymore likely to resist vaccines than anyone else. Furthermore, the vaccine resistance should arguably be from those most likely to suffer bad effects from the vaccine — the young.” —Ontario

Re: Trump & Biden: A Tale of Two Visits

“The local Denver Post had a headline about how the two campaigns had stops along the Rio Grande. It was the subheadline that caught my attention. It said, ‘Biden, Trump seek to use immigration as an advantage.’ Uh, Biden isn’t looking to make immigration an advantage. Not even close. Biden is trying to make it less of a disadvantage as it presently is. There is nothing Biden can do to improve his position vis-à-vis the invasion on the southern border.” —Colorado

Re: Is Trump Derangement Syndrome Burning Out?

“This article mirrors something I have been sensing for some time. Now if Trump could just exert some self-control over his mouth and not remind voters of why they voted against him the last time, he may be back in the White House.” —Illinois

“When Democrats vote their conscience rather that what they are told to support, they may learn the value of personal responsibility rather than groupthink. Republicans may seem messy, but they think for themselves. That’s how you tell. It’s not a bad method.” —Washington

Re: New York Times: Registered Voters Spank Biden, Again

“I agree that, while Trump is polling ahead of Biden now, when the Democrats turn on the ‘hate and fear Trump’ firehose, Trump will have a difficult time keeping his head above polling water, and winning in November will be miraculous.” —California

“Increasingly, I think Alexander’s prognostication last year about Biden being replaced by delegates this summer is exactly how the November Democrat ticket will be determined. If they raise up a younger, charismatic candidate, combined with all their attacks on Trump, it will be very difficult for the latter to prevail.” —Michigan

Re: Voter Integrity Law Upheld in Arizona

“Requiring proof of citizenship to vote is not a difficult step to take. Packing populations of noncitizens in order to increase the representation numbers in a district should also be a nonevent. The population redistribution goes on to improve representation numbers and should not be allowed for noncitizens. It must have worked for both parties or it would already be against the law. Fix it.” —Washington

Re: ‘Extremists Attack the Integrity of Free and Fair Elections’

“I live in one of those states where an ID is not required to vote. Last time I voted, I was handed a piece of paper to sign and I had to ask one question of the person reviewing it: ‘Is my signature legible or just a scribble?’ The reason is that when I moved back to Illinois after being in the Navy, I registered to vote and got a new license (wasn’t difficult) and signed the paper that they still use today (30 years later) for comparison. Whose signature doesn’t change with age or injury (mine was a broken thumb)? Getting an ID in Illinois is easy if you have a birth certificate, green card, and other info showing that you actually live here. And who doesn’t have an ID for the thousand other things you need it for?” —Illinois

Re: Joe Biden Is Lying, Say Hunter and James Biden

“Just what are Hunter and James Biden’s more recent accomplishments OTHER than influence peddling? How about their listed occupations in the signature block of their IRS 1040s? It is quite obvious that Hunter lacks the expertise, experience, and behavioral standards to serve on the board of Burisma. James’s confirmation that Joe received $40K from a Chinese firm reveals profoundly questionable actions regarding them both. ‘Does a demented 81-year-old man with a track record of lies and influence peddling deserve another four years at the helm?’ From a Democrat Party and mainstream media perspective steeped in hypocrisy, the response is affirmative. Pray for the USA.” —Florida

Re: Illegal Chinese Biolab in … California?

“Reedley is located about 15 miles east of CA 99, the major highway along the San Joaquin Valley. A disastrous accident from this illegal lab would spread up and down the most productive agricultural area in California — perhaps the entire country — with lightning-quick speed. It is not surprising neither the feds nor the California authorities are investigating. Both Newsom and Biden are compromised and beholden to the Red Chinese PRC, as are numerous members of their respective administrations and the Democrat Party. Elections have consequences!” —California

“The danger from this and possibly other similar biohazard labs run by an adversarial power is too obvious for federal inaction to be chalked up to ‘weakness.’ Even if Mr. Biden is too decrepit to understand the issue, somebody in the administration ought to be alarmed. So, how much did the Chinese agency running this operation pay to have somebody pull the FBI away from the case? How did it obtain the mainstream media silence? One more question to those who participated in the cover-up: Is betrayal of the American people worth what you were paid? Before you answer, have you considered the possible harm to humanity at large, not just the United States?” —Minnesota
