Re: Biden’s Last-Minute Awards Extravaganza

“Biden has eroded the office of the presidency to a pathetic joke on the American people. As for Soros, he sold his people out to the Nazis. Biden surrounds himself with the scum that he is. Hungary would love to get its hands on Soros. I’d love to deliver him to Hungary so it can do with him what he deserves.” —Illinois

“Oh the travesties Biden and his handlers are leaving in their wake for Trump to clean up. Is there a Democrat out their with a modicum of shame? Any moral compass? Any value belief structure?” —Massachusetts

“For Biden to lump Medal of Honor recipients into his participation trophy handouts is the ultimate disgrace.” —Delaware

Re: That Time I Voted for Jimmy Carter

“This retrospective was so well done, like watching a completed pass to break a tie and for the game win. Thank you for this no-fluff clarity on Carter.” —Texas

“Carter was not selfless, humble, kind, or decent. With access to the best intelligence in the world, he still embraced the worst communist and jihadist butchers in the world. After his presidency, his self-righteous preaching and photo ops wearing a tool belt continued to fool people, while he propagated his anti-American and anti-Semitic activities. ‘Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!’"—Ohio

"I also voted for Mr. Carter, and while I regret voting for him, it was the correct choice at the time. Gerald Ford offered no inspiration, and Carter had a far better résumé than Ford. Unfortunately, Carter proved to be a vacuous leader and allowed himself to be unduly influenced by Democrat leftists like Frank Church, whose vindictive agenda to destroy the GOP and hamstring the U.S. intelligence agencies nearly succeeded. Carter may have had good intentions, but in his later years, his name was prostituted for the Demo/progressive/leftist agenda.” —California

“Don’t feel bad about voting for Carter. I voted for Perot rather than Bush, thereby leading to the curse of biblical proportions known as the Clintons.” —New Hampshire

Re: What to Know About the Islamist Attack in NOLA

“Alexander notes correctly, ‘Leftmedia coverage of the New Year’s Day slaughter in New Orleans drew this headline from The Washington Post: "Truck Rams New Orleans crowd.” Actually no, Islamist Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar rammed the New Orleans crowd.’ I guess using WaPo logic, it was just Biden’s pen that released 150 criminals — and took others off death row.“ —North Carolina

Re: Bye-Bye, Trudeau?

"It’s about time the Canadian people had the opportunity to remove this Trudeau disease that is trying its best to ruin a wonderful country with great people. Getting rid of this guy is the best thing the Canadian people have done in a very long time. And by no means do I mean that they have not tried and that they are not reasonable because they are. The attempt to poison them may be over. God bless the Canadian people. We love them.” —New Hampshire

Re: H-1B or Not to Be

“I was a software engineer for 20+ years and have seen abuses of the H-1B program. The worst happened during an insurance project. A major consulting company would bring ‘engineers’ here in groups of 10 or so, put them up in a small home, and hire someone to do all the cooking and cleaning for them. They also were not getting standard pay. This happened in about 2008, so I don’t know if it is still happening, but I would not doubt it.” —Illinois

“Vivek is absolutely dead on in his comment about the state of America’s culture, but he’s about 20 years or so late in his dating. I was in the profession that allowed ‘teachers’ in whose qualifications were primarily that they could walk and chew gum at the same time. Well, most of them anyway. Perhaps they truly desired to help their charges, but they were woefully unprepared with the skills to do so. You can thank the teachers unions for pushing for the lower standards.” —New York

Re: Thursday Short Cuts

“Term limits for elected officials would be more palatable if they weren’t lifetime limits. For example, a 10-year limit on congressional seats followed by at least two years out of office before being eligible again. Make it two terms (12 years) for senator with two or four years before being eligible again. This would allow those who did a great job to continue to serve while helping get rid of those reelected by the entrenchment advantage.” —Florida

Re: New York’s Oil Company Shakedown

“Oil and natural gas are strategic commodities. When are climate change ideologues going to understand that? Modern civilization as we know it cannot possibly survive without these two God-given resources. They are here for man to use, not to assume an implausible existential ideology. Man’s ‘impact’ is only 260 years or so. Earth’s life is measured in epochs. Two hundred and sixty years represents a fraction of time. Man is not responsible for climate change.” —Massachusetts

“You wonder at what point climate change buffoons like Kathy Hochul might discover some original thought and stop blaming and penalizing the companies that bolster the state’s economy. She is the enemy of business, period, which is why a lot of them have fled to states that actually embrace job creation. Not here in NY, though. They are just vessels to be penalized and taxed. As are the working people, who pay ever increasing taxes and end up heading to Florida. Yet, will Hochul be reelected? Yes. Most of this is due to downstate (NYC area).” —New York

Re: Biden’s ChiCom Climate Connections

“I have never been a fan of Biden. He lies even when he doesn’t have to, but his disregard for Americans is heartbreaking. Americans, especially the young, are naïve about where the products come from to solve the supposed climate problem. Americans were never given the opportunity to delve into solutions before the EPA made rule after rule to reduce manufacturing in the U.S. I am reminded of a young person I met years ago who would not eat beef because she thought it was awful to kill cows. Yet she wore a leather jacket, not knowing the jacket was made from animal skins. My mother would tell us we are cutting off our noses to spite our faces.” —Wisconsin
