Re: Kamala Swings and Misses on the Economy
“I voted for Trump in 2016 and was pleased with all that he did during the subsequent four years of his presidency. I voted for him again in our last presidential election and was disappointed at the result. Now we are faced with an interesting situation of a president who is stepping down because of age and a female VP who thinks she can step into the shoes of a president and continue all the good that was supposedly done. I just wonder what the rest of the world is thinking of our situation.” —South Carolina
“As even The Washington Post concedes, ‘Harris’s full plan would add $1.7 trillion to federal deficits over a decade.’ They mean an ADDITIONAL $1.7 trillion, on top of whatever other budget-busting pipe dreams. Having learned from Obama and Biden, I’m sure a President Kamala Harris (shudder) would add at least a trillion or two to the debt every single year. If I had even the slightest inkling of a reason to think that she could hold the increase in the debt to ‘merely’ $1.7 over the course of 10 years, then heck, even I might be tempted to vote for her, since that would make her the most fiscally responsible president of the past three decades.” —Georgia
“Supply chains did not ‘shut down and fail.’ They were forcibly closed under threat and purposely kept shut long after there was any shade of necessity. The next step was to throw trillions of dollars we don’t have at the problem, making the U.S. government the world’s single largest gouge and the Biden-Harris administration the CEOs of that grab. The excessive taxation of everything is 100% the reason so many people are struggling once again on a Democrat-owned and -operated plantation. When people work as hard as the vast majority of us have had to and get nowhere, it is simple slavery.” —California
Re: Columbia Cleans Its Jew-Hating House
“Unfortunately, the woke corruption of universities is not limited to the Ivy League. Almost all American and Canadian universities have set aside the search for truth and the enhancement of knowledge in favor of DEI ‘social justice’ ideology and activism. The emphasis on merit and achievement in admissions, funding, hiring, and awards has been largely rejected in order to favor people of preferred census categories and punish and exclude people of disfavored census categories. The ascendant Jew hatred is one example of this pernicious ideology at work. Most university administrators and all of their DEI political commissars are systemically anti-academic and unwilling to enforce university rules or civil rights on campus.” —British Columbia
Re: Jail Time for Rowling and Musk?
“I’ve come to a conclusion. The women who seem to be more aggressive and vocal in determining right from wrong, especially in politics and on cultural issues, lack empathy. REAL empathy. They feel bad for the Palestinians whom they have no connection to. They want to protect all those black Georgians who are ‘deprived’ of their voting rights. They sympathize with people they don’t know and don’t care to know. But when it comes to female athletes who spend hours a day, over years of their youth, to rise to the top, the most vocal, most aggressive females are silent. They don’t care. Their attitude is, The aggrieved person can find something else to do with their life.” —Nevada
“The people of the United Kingdom are a very wholesome, fair-minded group that understands ‘reality speech.’ The few who are promoting socialistic control over speech will be quashed by the never-surrendering side of the United Kingdom.” —New Hampshire
Re: Americans Are Warming Up to Nuclear
“What about hydro power? Quebec Hydro produces electricity from dams south of Hudson Bay in Northern Quebec. It has offered to power the New England grid for years at 10.5 cents a KW. Instead of adopting a commonsense solution, the governors swallowed the hook on wind turbines and are now polluting the oceans off New England with this industrial junk, spending billions to turn the beautiful seascapes into a future industrial junkyard and ignoring the very real damage being done to sea life. The cost to the consumer? Most likely more than $2.00/KW. Turbine shelf life is about five years.” —Massachusetts
“The media propaganda about the benefits of wind/solar is still holding on to a lot of people. The media has opted not to remind everybody that Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the only two cities to have been ‘wiped from the face of the Earth’ by nuke explosions, were both up and running and doing 10 times the business within seven years of their being nuked. Rather than report that fact, they choose to go on and on about Chernobyl and Fukushima.” —California
Re: In Brief: Trump’s Reaganite ‘Iron Dome’ Idea
“SDI did not completely disappear. The ‘kinetic intercept’ concept eventually was developed into anti-ballistic-missile capability for the Navy’s Standard SM-6 missiles combined with the Aegis radar system. However, we do not at present have enough ships to defend the entire United States, and would still be vulnerable to attacks over the North Pole where the ice pack precludes stationing ships for much of the year, or from the south, where land limits the reach of the Navy system. There is some question whether the Standard missile can intercept a hypersonic maneuvering warhead, which China claims to have developed, and has the capability to attack any point on the globe from any direction. Even so, we have a good start on the solution.” —Minnesota
