Re: The CBP One App: A Migrant’s Ticket In

“As an American, maybe thousands of us should reapply for our citizenship through this app. Maybe we will get support from our country by getting in line with the immigrants. Or hundreds of thousands of new applications might help shut it down.” —Georgia

Re: Kamala Harris, Glock Owner

“A politician holding the philosophy of ‘Do as I say, not as I do,’ shouldn’t surprise anyone. It’s pretty much standard behavior as those in positions of power very often take the attitude that simply because they make the rules does not mean they themselves need to follow those same rules. After all, they are better than everyone else and can certainly decide that what’s good for the goose may not be good for the gander. This seems to affect Democrats most, but Republicans aren’t immune.” —Florida

“Kamala’s work history has been ADA in Alameda County, SF County, SF DA, CA AG, CA U.S. Senator, & VPOTUS. I am sure she acquired her ‘Glock’ when she was in law enforcement. In CA, like MA, the safe handgun list exempts LE, retired LE, & military with permission from their employer. The same goes for magazines that exceed the state limit as well as state-defined assault weapons. These laws only apply to the hoi polloi.” —Nevada

Re: CBS News Shows Why Harris Has Been Hidden Away

Kudos to Bill Whitaker and CBS for actual journalism, even if it was a Pontius Pilate-esque preemptive strike at washing blood from its hands in the case this idiot gets elected. That aside, Trump still has the same problem. That is, convincing the 15% or so of undecided voters and never-Trumpers to cast a vote for him. He has never been able to talk to this bunch, and he never will. Instead, Trump has to hope this 15% sees the peril of electing a vacuous clown who is vastly unqualified for the nation’s highest office is of more import than refusing to reelect a boorish oaf of poor character that they might viscerally dislike.“ —Oklahoma

Re: So Much for Biden’s Deficit Lies

"National debt reaching WWII levels begs an interesting question: In 1941, we were in a position to take on enough debt to fund total war. If we’re already at that level today, what happens when WWIII breaks out? Who will buy those bonds when half of a war-weary country’s people will likely root for the enemy, and the other half’s faith in government is so low? We’ll have to divert money from entitlement spending (good luck) or just take a back seat and let our world war championship streak come to an end.” —California

Re: Thursday Short Cuts

“I live in Florida — have for a few years. The contrast between this state and Illinois (I lived there most of my life) is remarkable. The roads aren’t more potholes than pavement. There are grass, flowers, and trees alongside the roadways instead of weeds and trash. Taxes are closer to reasonable (no state income tax here). The governor actually makes sense when he speaks and SHOWS UP. Gov. DeSantis (and Gov. Scott before him) actually PLAN AHEAD when a hurricane threatens. The state has a budget surplus, not ruinous debt. I was both disappointed and relieved when Gov. DeSantis dropped out of the presidential race; it would have been a loss to the state.” —Florida

Re: The Shame of Chicago’s Schools

“Paul Vallas is an old white guy, Brandon Johnson is black. Therefore, no contest. Electing a bumbling race huckster as mayor over an actually qualified applicant makes you wonder if racism is in play here. Chicago has other little problems, such as trying to avoid a massive gang war between Venezuelan illegal immigrant thugs and the home-grown black gangs, or dealing with the massive influx of illegals who have overrun the city. BJ is definitely the guy you want mitigating that problem, to be sure. He’s got this.” —Oklahoma
