Re: Investigating President Autopen

“I would like to know who actually was handling the presidential duties of this country, but I have observed the Democrats for a very long time, and they will never tell the truth. I would not be surprised to find out that Jill was making the decisions. The biggest problem the Democrats will not admit is that Biden was the only Democrat electable in 2020, and no one has appeared to be electable ever since. Most of the leaders of the Democrat Party are well past retirement age, and the young ones are so far out in left field that they are out of play.” —Wisconsin

Re: Dems Spend $20M and Hire a Queer Activist to Attract Men

“Let’s not forget the other reasons for their loss of male voters. You can start with the Dems’ inordinate affection for queers, perverts, homosexuals, child mutilators, baby killers, and Jew haters. These reprobate behaviors can surely be included in the issues of ‘alienation and disdain.’ Perhaps the Dems might want to wake up to the reality that men do have a moral compass and won’t hesitate to run away from this godless nonsense.” —North Carolina

Re: A Case of ‘Climate Homicide’

“Since the allegations that the oil companies engaged in a ‘willfully and deceitful campaign’ are made in a public document, the oil companies have grounds for a countersuit for defamation resulting in material harm. The hard part will be breaking through the climate change propaganda to show that much of it is ‘reckless disregard for the truth.’” —Minnesota

Re: Behind Trump’s Iran Nuke Deal Negotiations

“Everyone thinks Iran’s focus is to kill all the Jews in Israel and return that land to the Palestinians. It’s not. You don’t need a nuclear weapon to do that. Iran never says it wants to kill all the Jews. It says it wants to destroy Israel, because the mullahs think that will bring about the end of the world. They don’t want Israel to gain prestige — they actually plan to use it.” —Arizona

Re: The Inevitable Trump-Musk Divorce

“Both men are used to getting what they want. They are angry now and airing their anger publicly. Eventually they will become allies again, but they will never have the same respect for each other as they had previously. Elon expected more from his work at DOGE; Trump could not deliver because of Congress. Just wish they wouldn’t have aired their dispute publicly. That’s what you get with big egos!” —Illinois

“You’re correct in saying that the only people who benefit from this falling out are the Democrats — and they cannot wait for the inevitable crash. I have heard that if Democrats regain the House in ‘26, Musk will be subpoenaed and Trump will be impeached (again). Guys, please patch this up. America needs you both.” —Florida

“As I look at the situation of two highly intelligent and successful businessmen, it’s evident to me they’re both right. Trump wants tax cuts, a military buildup, and border security. Elon sees the waste, fraud, and abuse of government expenses only continuing. The 'chess game’ of these two titanic men may be the best thing for the country. We can’t expect Congress to ‘cut, cut, cut’ when it has the open credit card of taxpayers to use. No problem for their home budgets! The fear of the GOP losing the House and Senate will hopefully wake up the fools in Congress to the reality that Americans won’t play their games anymore. Prayers are needed. We’ve come this far by faith. Let’s keep moving that way.” —California

Re: What Did DOGE Really Accomplish?

“What’s it going to take? What part of $37+ trillion don’t these ‘representatives’ understand? And why do they think their funding is more important than the future of our country or the world we’re leaving the next generation? Cuts are going to be hard and painful for many. That’s the reality, and people must get their minds around the position we’re in. We cannot borrow our way to prosperity, but we can start to lighten the burden we leave for our grandchildren.” —Oregon

“Our family has a budget, and if we exceed it, there are immediate consequences. Our country needs to live within its budget, and if it won’t, members of Congress should suffer the consequences.” —Kentucky

“It was revealing how Elon Musk went from a darling of the leftist greens to a pariah once he publicly expressed support for Donald Trump. Now that Musk has (correctly) characterized the president’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ as a disgusting abomination of deficit spending, the Left’s opinion of him shifted from ‘literally Hitler’ back to ‘genius.’” —Georgia

“If the only thing DOGE did was to bring to the front the fraud, waste, and abuse perpetrated on the American people by The Swamp, they did what they set out to do. That was the FIRST step. It is now up to the taxpaying public to continue the fight. While Musk was at it, he should have gone after the constant MSM psychological manipulation, misinformation, brainwashing, and grooming.” —California

Re: Novel Idea: Teaching Civics in College

“It’s laughable to see professors complaining that requirements to teach the foundations of Western intellectual inquiry ‘restrict academic freedom’ when, under these same professors, universities have never been more narrow-minded, churning out not ‘freedom fighters’ but political conformity officers who are trained not to debate but to shout down, shame, and shun anyone who dares to entertain an idea different from the neo-Marxist party line.” —Minnesota

Re: Scuttling the USNS Rainbow Mafia

“As a Navy veteran in recent communication with the editor-in-chief of the Naval Institute’s Proceedings Magazine, he wrote that Ray Mabus, who served under Obama, was the ‘worst’ SecNav in history. Mabus and Obama were enamored of Harvey Milk. I wonder why?” —Massachusetts

“I grew up in San Francisco, and I was there when George Moscone and Harvey Milk were brutally murdered by Twinkie eater Dan White. That being said, the renaming of the USNS Harvey Milk honors actual veterans, and apparently SecDef Hegseth meant it when he said he was eradicating the woke DEI garbage that has been forced on our frontline warfighters. Go Pete!” —California

“It is great that Hegseth is scuttling the name Harvey Milk. While he is at it, can he undo the naming of the USS William J. Clinton (CVN-82), announced by Biden on his way out the door and scheduled to be launched in 2032.” —Florida

“As a carrier Naval Aviator, last serving on the USS Ronald Reagan, it is outstanding that Trump and Hegseth are renaming the USNS Harvey Milk. Please, on behalf of all Naval Air Wings and veterans, do not let Biden’s naming of our next carrier to honor the disgraceful Bill Clinton stand.” —Virginia
