“Gaetz is popular here in his Florida district, but I abstained on his part of the ballot this year. It’s a deep-red Republican district that would elect a turnip with an R after it. No reflection on our district, but sometimes we need to be a bit more discerning about who represents us. I look forward to the competition to replace Gaetz in the upcoming special election.” —Florida
“I’m glad The Patriot Post did not get swept up in the Gaetz narcissistic vortex. What concerns me as much as Trump’s selection of Gaetz is the number of conservative media outlets that dared not question his qualifications and character.” —California
“Thank you for your clear analysis on the Gaetz appointment. No equivocation on principle, and that is one reason I support your annual fund several times a year!” —Georgia
Re: Trump Day 1: Demolish the Demos’ Rigged Midterm Election Strategy
“Being from one of those states that does not require photo ID to vote, or any ID for that matter, I question the integrity of any national election where millions of voters do not present an ID before casting their ballot. As Alexander noted, almost all the states Harris won do not require an ID to vote. And yes, Trump and Congress better get on this ASAP.” —New York
“Trump ignored the bulk-balloting fraud issue in 2020. I suspect the election would have been substantially more than a 1.5% Trump victory in 2024 if voter IDs were required. Republicans better get on this ASAP!” —Illinois
“Holy smokes! What super powerful comments! The descriptions of the government’s nonprotection and disgusting responses are infuriating; may those individuals carry the shame of them all their days. But more than that, Laken’s letter reflects so perfectly her ideals and devotion. As much as she will be missed on this earth, she is in a far, far better place now. May God greet her warmly and surround her and her family with His peace. Thank you, Emmy.” —Hawaii
“Although there may be no court-mandated death penalty in this horrific case, we can be sure that there will be divine justice in the end for Laken’s murderer.” —Minnesota
“There is no justice for any American citizen as long as criminal aliens live among us. We have enough of a voracious money-spending government without adding to our burden. May all who protect the criminal aliens be damned.” —Texas
“This young lady’s smile haunts me. People who choose a life of caring for others have a special place in their soul. Justice has not yet been afforded her; there is not justice for such a loss. I wish for her family and those whose lives she touched a timely healing. I question the value of keeping this horrible man alive to be a burden on the people of our state. His absence in life would not weigh the scales of justice, but he has forfeited the one-time privilege of life.” —Georgia
Re: Liberty Is on the Line in the Daniel Penny Case
“How can there be a question of responsibility for this man? He did what everyone else on that train wished they could do. He stopped what was well on its way to becoming a tragic event. He did what the State of New York was charged with: the protection of the people of that state. He provided a shield of defense for his fellow travelers, he defended himself from a clear, eminent threat of bodily harm, and he filled the responsibility of the City of New York to provide freedom from the threat.” —Georgia
Re: WaPo’s PA ‘Stop the Steal’ Concession and Cultural Friendly Fire
“I know many Democrats of good will who find it easy to follow their leadership. It reduces their workload, and who doesn’t at times defer to being lazy? With a little encouragement, they can be brought back onto the active work of government. Pay a little attention to them and invite them to participate in good governing principals rather than blindly following a less-than-successful leadership, and they may be brought into the light. It should be about public service rather than what team seems to win.” —Washington
“Many people do not understand the value of the freedom we enjoy in this country. If you do not agree with the values of your state, you can move to another state. If you don’t get your way and dislike the direction taken by the vote of the people, you can leave the country. Enjoy your life elsewhere. Keep in touch with people who care. It shouldn’t take much of your time.” —Washington
“Every American needs to wake up and realize that the $276 million Joe Biden spent was not his money but ours. Combined with Kamala’s lavish waste of $1 billion and other massive expenditures, the reckless Washington and Democrat Party spendthrifts love to waste everybody else’s hard-earned money and keep their own. Remember this when election time returns.” —North Carolina
Re: The Left Chooses Politics Over Family
“This cult-like behavior is more evidence that leftism is at least as much a religion as it is political opinion. It’s certainly not Christian, but rather shows an ungrateful and unforgiving spirit that is incompatible with Thanksgiving. Those so enslaved by their narrow-minded politics embody the condemning description of II Timothy 3:1-5. Their relatives must pray for the wisdom and forbearance to speak the truth in love. Psalm 146 is a good reminder of a godly perspective.” —Minnesota
Re: Jen Psaki and John Oliver Insist Dems Keep ‘Transing’
“Two perverts do not get to decide what the women in this world have to endure at the hands of sexual sadists who want to be in our bathrooms and make us fearful and uncomfortable in a space that has no exits or cameras.” —Colorado
Re: Profiles of Valor: Reconciliation Among Warriors
“As an Army Ranger and career Army officer, I greatly appreciated this profile of Hal Moore — and the message of reconciliation!” —Georgia
“I served as a 2LT with LTC Moore at the Battle of Ia Drang. I could write a book on his leadership — he earned the respect of all those who served with and under him. God rest his soul.” —Virginia
