Re: Harris’s Bald-Faced Lies — Endorsed by CNN

“This column thoroughly eviscerates two of the biggest lies about Trump that Harris regularly repeats. Thanks for providing the background information about these lies and about how CNN still asserts that the ‘suckers and losers’ lie is true.” —California

“So, clearly CNN’s claim that Kelly confirmed the spurious assertion about ‘suckers and losers’ should be fact-checked as FALSE!” —New York

“With regard to Harris failing to recognize we have troops in combat zones around the world, I would note that our warfighters are on the ground in numerous hot spots around the world and are most certainly subject to be fired upon.” —Kentucky

Re: Harris’s Audacity of Deception Strategy 2.0

“Thank you for articulately slamming the hammer down on Harris. While some women as well as weak-kneed men may be duped by that smeared window she presents, many do see her for what she is — an incompetent, inarticulate nitwit climbing the political ladder on her knees. As for her ‘word salads,’ the medical term is logorreha. It’s diagnosed as a medical condition that causes unintelligible, extremely disorganized speech or writing, sometimes symptomatic of mental illness causing a loss of semantic associations resulting in nonsensical juxtapositions.” —New Hampshire

“I’ve been nibbling on The Patriot Post’s online material for quite some time, and this article by Alexander was the most powerful, well-constructed, and timely column ever. BRAVO ZULU! from your newest subscriber.” —Delaware

Re: What’s the State of the Race?

“Good column, sir. I am reminded of the ‘red wave’ midterm election, which turned out to not be a red wave. Instead, thousands of Republicans didn’t bother to vote. This should never happen again. Any citizen who is dissatisfied with Biden-Harris and company must vote this year, and vote RED. Don’t be fooled again by the media hyping a red wave!” —California

“This is no time to be confident about the election results. There may already be thousands of fraudulent mail-in ballots in preparation in the swing states. Republicans would be wise to get monitors on early voting and on ballot handling processes from start to finish, and have lawyers present at the counting centers where there was questionable activity in 2020. Every person who loves this nation’s original values of respect for the rights to life, liberty, and property and is eligible to vote should do the homework on the candidates and issues, and vote wisely and strategically.” —Minnesota

Re: Bait-and-Switch, Part II

“I read that the New York Times editorial board has endorsed Harris. (Did they vote? Was it unanimous? Can dissenters offer a different editorial opinion, or are they just fired?) They said Trump supporters are unpatriotic. For years, those who don’t support the Dems have been called a variety of names, but they never give a reason to support their candidate. Arguing by name-calling is juvenile. Then they offer fictional threats (MAGA men training in the hills). Dems should change their donkey for a unicorn.” —New Hampshire

Re: Crimes That Wouldn’t Have Happened Without Harris’s Open Border

“The problems go beyond people utterly bereft of both our language and culture. Too many of them are low-skill/no-skill and being such turn to questionable and/or outright criminal activities … even though they might not be acts as vile as murder, rape, and assault. I’m talking about curbstoning, for one thing — the act of selling a vehicle with questionable authenticity/title, if it’s not outright stolen. Curbstoners are everywhere in Chicago. So are the panhandlers. No one needs this.” —Oklahoma

“The communists, Biden and Harris, and their ilk know exactly what they are doing and why. After more than 50 years of abortion-on-demand, the Democrats desperately need to rebuild their base, and quickly. What faster way to do it than to open the back door wide open and let hordes of unvetted, possibly ill, possibly criminal bodies into the country? These millions will inflate the census, the House of Representatives, and the Electoral College, all in the Democrats’ favor. Republicans will never win another national election. We will be a one-party, godless, socialist nation. Fait accompli, Dems.” —Pennsylvania

Re: The Left’s Latest Blackout on Race and Violence

“Yet another outstanding assessment of how the Democrats conceal the irrefutable evidence of the correlation between race and violence. Thanks, Patriot Post, for making this ruse clear!” —Massachusetts

Re: Teachers Aren’t Happy

“I believe all public schools are top heavy. So much of the public school funding goes to administration. My question is: What percentage does the union take from the teachers’ wages, and how do the teachers benefit from the union? Moreover, how much of the school administration are also members of the union?” —Wisconsin

Re: John Kerry Trashes First Amendment

“It is no surprise that high-ranking Democrat Party mouthpiece and perfidious foreign agent John Kerry is demonstrating he is a useful idiot for the global Marxists, the real threat to our republic. Not too many years ago, his like would have been tried and convicted of plotting the overthrow of our government, but today, with secular humanists embedded in the central government eagerly turning our nation into another Marxist failure, he uses the First Amendment, a freedom he despises, to his advantage, yet suffers no punishment except the scorn of those of us who love our constitutional republic and the freedoms it guarantees.” —North Carolina

Re: Intruder-Shooting Kamala Really Wants Our Guns

“Gun ownership is a responsibility that the majority of our citizens accept. The problems come when our law enforcement is incapable of locating, arresting, and incarcerating criminals who use guns. (No bail, reduced charges, red flag laws, and, of course, disrespect for the law.) The Second Amendment is in place to respect the law-abiding citizen and provide self-protection from the criminal element in our society.” —Washington

Re: The Real Reason for Zuckerberg’s Shift

“Like a leopard changes his spots. I’m not buying it either!” —Michigan

Re: Profiles of Valor: Mercy Among Mortal Enemies

“What a terrific article about Stigler and Brown. As a retired Naval Officer, it spoke to my heart and brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for this uplifting article about a fellow West Virginian!” —West Virginia

Georgia: “From the book, A Higher Call:

Stigler was invited to attend a reunion of the 379th BG in 1990 held in Massachusetts, which ‘only took place because of the compassion of an enemy.’ The two surviving members of Brown’s crew joined him and Stigler under the wing of a restored B-17. Together with their families, they gathered around Stigler and made it known to him that the children and grandchildren there with them were able to experience life because of his actions on that day nearly 50 years earlier.”
