Re: Just Say No to Low-Flow Showerheads

“It doesn’t take much to convert a low-flow shower head. There is a plastic disc that has holes in it that regulate the flow in the shower head. Remove the disc and — voila —a normal flow shower head!” —Illinois

Re: Bloodthirsty Leftists

“The radical Left has always embraced lying, stealing, and cheating to obtain and maintain power. The only question was how far were they willing to go. Now it appears they are embracing killing their political opponents. So, what is the difference between the radical Left (Democrats) and other totalitarian forms of government like the CCP, Putin’s Russia, Hitler’s Nazi Germany, etc.? In my opinion, there isn’t any.” —Colorado

Re: Trump Is Not the Root Cause of the Black Struggle

“Well stated. Moral courage is the most rare virtue, requiring premeditation and conviction. Going against the grain of groupthink is harder than facing many physical dangers. And too few of us are equipped to think so and act.” —Illinois

“The black improvement plan could start with the women demanding marriage instead of settling for insecure relationships, and they should demand that their baby’s father live in the home and help raise and guide the child. The fatherless home is the root cause of almost all of our nation’s social problems: poverty, hunger, school dropouts, abortions, street crime, and overflowing prisons.” —Pennsylvania

Re: Colorado Dems Want Kidnapping by the State

“While everything mentioned is true, what leftists seldom understand is that when the price gets too high, people move. When businesses no longer offer health insurance because the premiums are outrageous, people will discover the real cost of stupid legislation. When even high-deductible insurance is unaffordable, residents have to choose to stay or leave. The auto insurance premiums are already four times what people in other states pay. Following California into the abyss will not help Colorado.” —Wisconsin

“Sadly, Colorado has become California 2.0. It is now a deep-blue state. It didn’t used to be that way. I lived there in the mid-‘70s and was stationed there with the U.S. Army in the late '80s. Back then, Colorado was a deep-red state. It was a nice place to live. That was before all the libs who wanted to escape California’s radical leftist policies moved to Colorado and brought their politics with them! We need to be careful because this is happening to Texas. Our great Republic can ill afford to lose Texas to the Left. If that happens, we will never see another Republican majority in this great country again!” —Indiana

Re: Funding the Climate Cult of Doom

“If the Left really wanted to do good, it would have enabled FEMA to actually prepare for the events leftists projected. This would help U.S. citizens instead of robbing us with the overpriced green agenda.” —Montana

Re: Bloodthirsty Leftists

“Rush Limbaugh often quipped that he was afraid to satirize leftist craziness because too often they actually did it. I started writing a satire of Minnesota’s 'Protecting Reproductive Options’ Act, which removed all rules on abortion clinics. ‘Protecting Political Options’ would likewise declare political assassination a ‘fundamental right’ and go from there. I canceled the project when I realized Trump haters might take it as a serious suggestion from European (Russian) tradition.” —Minnesota
