Re: Trump, Biden, Secret Service, and the Assassin
“Thank you for writing this analysis with a calm, clear, and informed perspective. We desperately need that right now. My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to Mr Comperatore’s family and the others injured.” —Montana
“Color me cynical, but isn’t it flabbergasting than eight hours after the attempted assassination of President Trump, the same stanchions of truth — The New York Times and Reuters — that conveniently covered up Biden’s mental deficiency in office for the past four years are able to ascertain and lead their stories with the titillating news that the shooter was a registered Republican?” —California
“Trump’s survival should be a message to all Americans. It was purely divine intervention.” —Pennsylvania
Re: House Passes GOP’s Voter Integrity Bill
“We can scream voter fraud until the cows turn blue and it will make no difference. Illegal votes are only part of the problem. Add voter harvesting (door-to-door canvassing to supply absentee ballots to pro-Democrat Party voters), ballot box stuffing (wherein chain of custody between voter and ballot box is broken), absentee voting (wherein voter verification is few, poor, or non-existent), and redistricting (favoring Democrat districts), and election integrity is a bridge too far. If Trump wins, he will need a supermajority. And then come the challenges and riots à la Summer 2020. The 2024 Democratic National Convention will remind us of Chicago 1968, only on steroids.” —Missouri
“I think it matters not how many election reform bills are passed. The Democrats/socialists are so lacking in honesty, morals, integrity, and character that they will stop at nothing to win. They will lie, cheat, and steal at will without losing a second’s sleep. They know their time is running out to bring in their one-world agenda.” —Texas
Re: Musk Says Dems Are Making It Near ‘Impossible’ to Prove Voter Fraud’
“Elon Musk has it right, and that is why the Dems could run Howdy Doody and win. Don’t make the mistake of thinking the Dems are too crazy to win. They are crazy like a fox. They have no scruples either. Factor in the blind hatred and stupidity of the voters, and the Dems could win this next election and finish ruining the country for good.” —Kansas
Re: George Clooney Joins the Pile-On
“It’s clear that Barack Obama’s cadre, apparatchiks, and useful idiots are leading the discussion about Biden’s early retirement. But it’s unlikely they care if he retires early or finishes his term, so long as they can replace him with another puppet who can beat Trump. For example, Jen Psaki’s suggestion that the nation is too misogynist and racist to elect a woman of color is a sly attempt to punk the Democrat Party into nominating Kamala Harris or promoting her with a 25th Amendment ouster. Nancy Pelosi’s noncommittal comment about Biden shows she doesn’t care who is up. What is important is that Obama intends to remain in control. It’ll be quite a fight if an ambitious pretender like Gavin Newsom makes a bid for the nomination.” —New Mexico
Re: Joe Biden’s Pitiful Press Conference
“I have seen victims of Alzheimer’s disease in their final throws. The elderly person actually believes the stories he is telling are facts and will angrily defend his position. Biden is no different here. He is so convinced of his own abilities that the only thing missing in his mind is his cape of red. It is truly sad because, even though I cannot stand the man as president, Joe Biden once was an articulate and vibrant man. The mental state we are seeing today should be pitied more than anything else. God help us all if he succeeds and regains the White House.” —Florida
Re: Censorship Via Revenue Strangulation
“I heartily agree. Last week, in the aftermath of the SCOTUS whiff, I found Facebook suddenly swamped my message inbox with warnings that more posts than I could possibly count let alone remember were deleted for having violated ‘Community Standards.’ They were not even available to be reviewed by me for confirmation or dispute. Later that day, I found myself completely deplatformed. I have only ever reposted The Patriot Post/The Babylon Bee or posted conservative thoughts of my own. I will never again patronize that execrable site so long as that treasonous Zuckerberg is an owner.” —Illinois
Re: China Owes Us $18 Trillion for COVID
“In my opinion, Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden, and the Leftmedia are as much responsible if not more so. The constant lying and manipulation of facts and information and the panic response caused more deaths and stress than the virus itself. The information was there. I saw it. Millions of others saw it. When Italian news reported that more than 89% of deaths were in elderly patients with other comorbidity complications, and 90% of them were not expected live out the year, that information alone could have eased a lot of the abuse we were subjected to.” —California
Re: Support for the Gender Cult and DEI Agendas Declines
“Amen and hallelujah! It should never have gotten as far as it did. A glimmer of hope for a country that has become a godless, pagan one.” —West Virginia
“Here in NY, since they set DEI and affirmative action quotas, everything deteriorated. Irreparable harm was done to virtually every industry and organization imaginable. Our state public education departments have been hardest hit, loaded with unqualified people who, by extension, are dumbing down every child in kindergarten through college. Disgraceful malpractice.” —New York
Re: The NEA and ‘All the Things’
“The first thought I had when the good doctor Pringle spoke was that she is paid by the poor teachers she is shooting at. Union dues are not paid by the school system; they are withheld from the teachers’ wages. The second thought I had was that every teacher I have met in the last 30 to 40 years believes that parents are stupid. When you approach any person with the assumption that they are stupid, then payback is coming. I do not feel bad for the public schools. I feel bad for the children who are uneducated, many unable to read and comprehend. Check out a local fast food place and see if a cashier can give the correct change without a computer telling him.” —Wisconsin
“The NEA and the rainbow clown college academics who push DEI and licentiousness in American secular education are not going to depart tamely. They are the priests of an increasingly malevolent humanist religion, who worship and proselytize in our public schools at our expense, teaching common pagan rituals of sexual perversion and child sacrifice, with humans as the idols instead of stone images, and they use their positions of power to persecute those who reject their cult. Expelling this dogma from our publicly funded schools is long overdue.” —Minnesota
Re: Education as We Knew It Is Gone
“Trying to fix an education problem by throwing more money at it has failed. Turns out it takes both skill and focus. The trajectory of our education is reflected by the Department of Education’s callous disregard for truth and facts in today’s schools. Real educators who recognize the measurable success of learning should be in the appropriate positions in the system. They are not.” —Washington
“I wholeheartedly recommend trade school for most, as I have three degrees and some 14 various certifications. I have spent my life in construction, an honorable trade where one actually creates, which results in a feeling of satisfaction and pride not found in a cubicle! Every member of a construction crew can take his children to a finished product and take pride in telling them, ‘I built that!’ Not to mention, being outdoors, one with nature, is a MUCH healthier environment. And the bad days toughen you up!” —California
Re: Under Authority
“I agree. But what choice have you when the ‘appointed’ leader turns his back on past teachings? When do you decide that your ‘leader’ is no longer fit to lead? Does the admonition to follow a command mean ‘blindly’ following what is directed? Are the very foundations of the Christian faith not worth keeping? The rigors of Lent are no longer followed, abstinence is considered ‘folly,’ and penance is a mere tap (not slap) on the wrist. The books must balance — sin must be accounted for and the debt paid. There is no such thing as a free lunch — in this world or the next.” —Texas
Re: Profiles of Valor: Michael Murphy
“‘Murph’ is an American icon, a true hero, not some Hollywood actor. The movie ‘Lone Survivor’ gives his heroics due acknowledgment. Awarding the Medal of Honor to this man was mandatory. Thank God for the ‘Murphs’ who rise above the call of duty. We salute you, LT Murphy!” —Nebraska
