“I explained my Gold Star and why I will never have a ‘Happy Memorial Day,’ nor should I. A lot of people are just clueless about this.”

Re: ‘HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL’?

“Thank you for clearly stating what many Americans fail to grasp. Perhaps some will never understand until they are handed a properly folded American flag — something that we Gold Star families will never forget.” —Florida

“As a 100% combat-disabled Marine veteran, I don’t care what politicians say. My concern is for the 46 young Marines of my unit who were KIA, as well as all other KIA and their families and loved ones. THEY are the only ones who count.” —California

“Reviling is one of President Trump’s besetting temptations. Let us pray that God gives him the wisdom to overcome it.” —Minnesota

“Thank you for the wise, heartfelt article. This year, I got three ‘Happy Memorial Days.’ I explained my Gold Star and why I will never have a ‘Happy Memorial Day,’ nor should I. A lot of people are just clueless about this.” —Missouri

“Attending Memorial Day ceremonies each year, I will never forget my 18 months in Vietnam (1967-1969). I am grateful for the 56 years I have lived since because of generations of Americans who have died serving our great country. Grateful, yes, but anyone saying ‘happy’ does not understand the sacrifice or the observance.” —Virginia

Re: The Biden Cover-Up Is an Enormous Scandal

“Given what we now know (or rather, what we always knew but that is now being openly admitted) about the state of Biden’s competency and health, combined with the revelation that many of the bills placed before him were actually signed by an autopen machine, it is not indulging in conspiracies to wonder if he even knew about some of them, or whether they were fraudulently signed into law. In particular, the current Justice Department should ask how many of the pardons issued on his final day in office to members of the Biden Crime Family and associated members of the Democrat machine are actually invalid forgeries.” —Georgia

“The Biden cover-up is more than an ‘enormous scandal.’ It is an outrageous crime committed against the American electorate by those whose agenda is to fundamentally transform the USA as originally established in our Constitution. Additionally, the legacy media aided and abetted the criminal activity by refusing to honestly report on and even supporting those involved with their false reporting. The Biden presidency total ruse and cover-up are most regrettable and represent a real threat to our democracy. It is imperative an investigation be conducted to identify and hold accountable all participants involved to prevent any recurrence and future threat and embarrassment to our nation.” —Florida

Re: Lies, Damned Lies, and Journalists Who Cover Up the Truth

“Having endured Watergate when I was a kid along with years of subsequent hearings and later enjoying ‘All the President’s Men,’ this current bombshell is more like a damp firecracker. Only the most unobservant citizens could have looked at Biden and not seen his shuffling gait, incoherence, constant confusion, and emotional lability — all clear symptoms of dementia — but Tapper and Biden’s doctor assured us he was perfectly healthy. There should be consequences for those who blatantly lie to the public, especially about unelected people running the country. And if the MSM still had integrity like they did in the days of Woodward and Bernstein, there would be. However, they no longer seek the truth, only the approval of their Dem overlords.” —Pennsylvania

Re: DC Double Murder Born of Jew-Hatred

“No one is safe from this radical ideology. The murderer’s name suggests he is Hispanic, so I am confused about his hatred of the Jewish population. I think this guy was just a troublemaker who instead of doing good with his life latched on to crazy causes. As a result, two innocents were murdered. He is a terrorist!” —Illinois

“These Marxist trolls are wrong because following their anti-capitalist ideology to the limit would result in trading capitalist moguls governed by a constitutional republic for unrestrained socialist/communist oligarchs. So much for preserving freedom. While you blame this anti-Semitic violence on Marxism, don’t think that’s the only vector. Both before and during Biden, Islam was getting the white-glove treatment from our government and the MSM. Islam’s anti-Semitism fits with the Left’s plans.” —Illinois

Re: Educators and Administrators Continue With Gender Ideology Indoctrination

“More common sense from The Patriot Post. On Trump’s side are scores of millions of winners. Opposite us are scores of millions of whiners. The whiners are more than welcome to cross over to our side. We will welcome you with open arms.” —California

Re: Anti-Fascist Profs Leave U.S. for … Canada?

“A) The United States of America is a republic, not a democracy. B) You’re more than welcome to leave. We won’t be missing you.” —Montana

“Yale Professor Marci Shore saying that ‘America is a sinking ship and a place where democracy is regressing’ was a gut buster for me. This in the wake of the ‘democracy’ exhibited by the Deep State, as for decades they’ve had their majority agree to keep creating worthless agencies, hiring their cronies, and raiding the U.S. Treasury. And unless the Left is going to prove that Trump cheated in 2024, when they are the experts on cheating, his election was proof of a strong democracy.”

Re: Marco Rubio: Trump’s Most Impressive Cabinet Member

“Marco Rubio is indeed impressive, but he is not the only exceptionally competent member of President Trump’s cabinet. Farmers in general are quite pleased with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and the support she has provided. It will be interesting to see how she negotiates the difference between farmers, who insist agricultural chemicals are generally safe when used as directed, and HHS Secretary RFK Jr., who questions that claim.” —Minnesota

Re: Phil Robertson — A Family Legacy of Faith and Honor

“There are lessons in his life for every one of us. Thank God for him and those like him who discovered Jesus, and for his steadfast faith.” —Washington

“We definitely need more people like Phil Robertson in the mass media. Blessings to the Robertson family, and see you soon, Phil.” —Oregon
