Re: Pope Francis, RIP

“RIP, Pope Francis. While I disagreed with some aspects of his doctrines, I believe he cared about people. I may never understand the stance that we must open our borders in order to save the world. Come legally so that the opportunities of work and the American Dream are possible. Otherwise, the Democrats will prey on them as the new slaves of our country.” —Wisconsin

Re: Monday: Below the Fold

“By extending constitutional protections to non-citizens (illegals), we undermine the value of a hard-fought freedom. It actually means that anyone anywhere in the world can declare they are entitled to constitutional protections. Bad things are bound to happen to a world that protects the tyrants and ignores the victims. I guess money is the real hero.” —Washington

Re: Trump Admin to Install 17 Miles of Buoys in Border River

“First, let’s stock the Rio Grande with alligators and water moccasins. Then install signs on the buoys warning about the ‘gators and venomous snakes.’” —Arizona

Re: Did Anthony Kill Metcalf in Self-Defense?

“So next time I’m waiting for a bus or having a picnic or sitting in a theater and a person taps my shoulder to move over, I’m justified in stabbing them or shooting them or clubbing them to death? I don’t think that’s the way we’ll be judged by our Final Arbiter.” —California

Re: We Thought Facebook Had Quit ‘Fact-Checking’

“Facebook is never going to do much about ‘fact-checking.’ The best way to get Facebook’s attention is for all members to end their memberships like I did over two years ago. After years of being banned, jailed, and shadowed, I had enough and ended my addiction to this nonsense. It can be done.” —Arkansas

Re: The Law Comes for Letitia James

“How can the Left claim lawfare against James when they are the ones who started it with Trump? The Left never ceases to amaze in their crazy thinking. She just forgot the ‘do unto others’ rule.” —Alabama

Re: Nurturing Hope Beyond Black Talents

“This one needed to be spread far and wide right next to Bill Clinton’s ‘midnight basketball in specific neighborhoods.’ Too many ‘I can play ball; I don’t need no stinking education’ youngsters believe they are the best on their block, not realizing that when the real competition comes, it will be from a LOT of other blocks whose kids all think they are ‘the best.’ There are still only so many open slots for them all. Some are going to be left behind. And what happens if they are injured and can’t play anymore? Or when they age out? And they will. Playing ball is fun, but knowing how to work keeps the PB&J on the table for the kids.” —California
