Re: Trump’s 100 Days of Shock and Awe

“Your assessment about ‘pollaganda’ was a very clear explanation of how media outlets use polling as propaganda. Furthermore, polling is a black art that serves the interests of the customer. In other words, it means nothing of any importance except the extent to which the media is successful in propagandizing it. And it’s a great way to get paid by advertisers with no accountability for accuracy.” —Washington

Re: Black Hawk Pilot Error

“As an Apache pilot, I found this assessment both objective and spot on. This was a completely avoidable tragedy, and to suggest otherwise is nothing more than covering up a colossal screwup.” —Virginia

Re: ‘Republicans Cannot Know a Moment of Peace’

“We Americans have lived under four years of inflation, dishonesty, ineptitude, lawlessness, and a puppet for a president. We are now trying to return as an economic leader, a military protector, and an advocate for education, as well as take a position for world peace and progress. We are attempting to return to a United States that believes in the Rule of Law and enforcing the laws written by our elected representatives.” —Washington

Re: Trump’s Lame Blame Game

“Thirty-five percent of the GDP is from government spending, and using DOGE, Trump has been trying to reduce that. There are a great many changes that still need to take place. Biden took us from $5 trillion to $6 trillion in federal spending and 2% inflation to 9.1% inflation in a very short time, and undoing his nonsense will take time and some pain. We have only begun discovering all the ways Democrats have set up systems to spend taxpayers’ money while hiding how they do it.” —Nevada

“Do you want to wait with the tariffs until Communist China takes over the world? Let Trump have his weird comments. He is the first president in years to fight the evil China. He drew the line in the sand and is fighting to hold it; think Marathon.” —California

“Nate, it is inspiring to read your articles that take on Trump’s faults. Thanks, and well done. All governments across history have or have had serious faults. Trump may be the carpenter to correct a lot of very serious home-grown problems using hammers and saws, but humanity desperately also needs spiritual and intellectual inspiration.” —Colorado

Re: Gavin Newsom’s Latest About-Face

“Newsom is a chameleon. He changes color with his personal ambitions. That seems to be a California thing. Look at Kamala; she is also a chameleon. Newsom wants to be president, and that would be a huge mistake. Look at the garbage that California has turned into with him at the helm.” —Illinois

Re: 100 Days of Hoaxes: Cutting Through the Fake News

“Not surprised by Jennifer Griffin of Fox News promoting the lie about Hegseth asking for $140,000 for his home because she also promoted the lie that Trump trashed WWI soldiers when he was in France. There were no apologies and Fox did nothing. She should have been fired but instead was a frequent guest on Hannity.” —Minnesota

“This is very disturbing. I’m sure the people opposed to this administration have a similar list of idiotic ‘statements’ from another ‘political’ group. Do people really believe this crap? I’m sorry. I believe half of what I hear or read about anymore. I always try to verify. It’s not always possible, and that’s why I read The Patriot Post.” —South Carolina

Re: Dems’ Disingenuous ‘Rule of Law’ Crisis

“Dugan should only be the first rogue ‘judge’ arrested. Trust me: Once they realize that they are NOT untouchable for breaking the laws (especially constitutional laws), they will back down. AG Pam Bondi should be having a full-blown arrest party right about now. I wish she would.” —Florida

Re: Profiles of Valor: Sgt Dakota Meyer (USMC)

“From a veteran Marine, thank you for this profile of Dakota, a young man I have known for years. And Bravo Zulu for returning to service after 15 years! Semper Fi!” —Kentucky
