Re: If You Hate Trump … You Hate Grassroots American Patriots

“A great article on Trump haters, who by extension, hate Trump supporters…let them try subsisting one day in their urban centers without all the services and product made by those Grassroots Americans!” —California

“The quotes from Storey and Kisin are insightful and right on point. Leftists don’t just hate their political opponents and America, though they surely do. They hate themselves. Moreover, they hate HUMANITY. They celebrate death. This is the key to understanding them.” —Illinois

“The vicious, self-centered trio of top-of-the-dung heap Democrats (Clinton, Harris and Biden) pictured in this article and their descriptions of those who disagree with them should be infuriating to every American. Here are three self-believing elites who have used their elected positions to become filthy rich and powerful by the labor of and forced taxation upon the United States citizen, many of whom have given their lives to protect them from enemies they sometimes embrace. For these thankless ingrates to think the honest American citizen is a sucker is an insult. With God’s help, the American citizens, not "suckers”, will keep them from public office for good.“ —North Carolina

"Oh, I will be forwarding this column to multiple forums and to many leftist elites who certainly hate Grassroots Americans as much as they do Trump.” —Washington

Re: Trump Pushes for Peace

“The Japanese kicked the Russian army’s butt in the early 1900s. The Finns did the same in 1938 to Stalin’s army, who, by the way, was still celebrating starving two million Ukrainian men, women, and children to death. Putin is Stalin’s spawn, no doubt proud of this particular achievement. The Ukrainians have not forgotten Holodomor, nor should they. They are fighting to avoid the repeat of that catastrophe not only in Ukraine but everywhere Putin can extend his tentacles.” —Illinois

“Serious doubts can be raised about the Soviet Union’s ability to prevail against Germany in WWII without all the material support provided by the U.S. through Lend Lease shipments of planes, tanks, artillery, and tons upon tons of steel, aluminum, copper, and other materials, including food, wool, etc. Lend Lease early on gave the Soviets breathing room to get their own war industry up to speed after moving all of it east of the Urals. There were also strategic blunders by Hitler, such as wasting the 6th Army on Stalingrad.” —California

Re: PopCon #83: Tucker Carlson vs. Piers Morgan

“It’s worse than just the interview with Piers Morgan. I used to belong to the TCN — no comments are allowed. 1. During his discussion with Chris Cuomo, Chris said old English law says you can beat your wife with a stick no thicker than your thumb. That’s either from the Koran or Sharia law. 2. This was the interview with the person Tucker got his information from before his meeting with Piers. Not only did he say that Winston Churchill started WWII, but he said that Hitler would have stopped after he invaded Poland. My question: How does he know Hitler would have stopped? And how many Jews is it acceptable to kill?” —Delaware

Re: Taiwan’s Future and Fate Depend on the U.S. — Part III

“Thirty-some years ago, a good friend of mine was a leading intellectual property attorney for Intel. He ran around the world looking for technology companies to do business with. The U.S. tax code was not friendly to growth and so companies went elsewhere. Government created the problem that we now recognize as impacting our economy. It didn’t listen then, and now its solution is to sell more arms to Taiwan. Time to refocus and maybe even study the issue at the academic level (if that capability still exists).” —Washington

Re: Monday Short Cuts

“A government agency getting its first audit is like a visit to the dentist after waiting for 10 years. You will be nervous, but once you get back into a responsibility routine, things will get better. I have advocated for a complete top-to-bottom audit for some time, and as it is now beginning, we should recognize there may be pain — but it is the correct way to be responsible to the public. If your programs are founded in honesty, there is nothing to fear.” —Washington

Re: Friday: Below the Fold

“Judge Ali claimed the Trump administration failed to explain why it froze USAID spending. To the contrary, the report of finding numerous instances of waste and abuse is explanation enough. If a custodian of funds is found to be misusing them, the first thing that normally happens is that the custodian is denied further access to the funds to protect what’s left. Apparently Judge Ali lacks experience in this area of law, even though ordinary citizens see it in the local news from time to time.” —Minnesota

Re: Next Up for DOGE: the CFPB

“Bravo, Trump and company! Pull all the plugs to drain the deep state. For every plug you pull, there is a liberal judge trying to push the plug back in. America is watching! And what we see is the true devious acts of the Democrat Party and its trying to save its slush funds and piggy banks. Crooks, the lot of them!” —Illinois

Re: How DOGE Is Doing It

“As long as we can keep the evil party at bay, the DOGEing of the federal government will uncover trillions in fraud and waste. Most of it is likely coming from the DOD. However, the FDA, USDA, IRS, etc. are all filled with fraud and corruption. We are indeed living in an extraordinary time and very fortunate to be witnessing this along with the total demise of the Democrat Party and its propaganda arm, legacy media. Unmitigated hubris was their downfall, and it is beautiful!” —Rhode Island

Re: Democrats Dogpile DOGE

“Democrats did not squeal and condemn Bill Clinton when he promised to ‘cut 12% of the federal workforce’ on September 7, 1997. Democrats did not squeal and condemn Barack Obama when he said ‘we will do a better job of rooting out wasteful spending’ on November 9, 2011. But when President Trump really does what the Democrats promised but failed to carry out, the Democrats showed their true hypocritical, destructive colors. Anything to oppose those of us they hate so much.” —California

Re: Christians Muddling Immigration

“Thank you for defining the role of state and church. Too many churches have gone overboard on the issue of immigration and the rights of victims of discrimination. The church is losing the congregation in this position, and until it ceases being political in its messaging, it will lose support.” —Colorado

“This was dead on! I so appreciate that you put this out there. Now we only need to ‘nail it to the door’ of every church being led by the unenlightened and the self-anointed ignorant. I could not believe my ears when I first heard how churches were sponsoring refugees from other countries and then teaching them how to get on welfare once here — as though that was the Christian thing to do.” —Texas
