Re: Wednesday Short Cuts

“[Trump] is sending in the National Guard to attack the protesters.” —"The View" co-host Ana Navarro

“Mr. Trump is NOT attacking the protesters! In fact, he should be offering them rides to safer ‘demonstration’ venues, where they can demonstrate to their hearts’ content. Why, I do believe that Beverly Hills would be the perfect place to start. Then maybe Sacramento could be next. I mean, they’re peaceful taxpayers, right? Right?” —Texas

Re: Dem Immigration Policies Turn Immigrants to GOP

“President Trump is unimpressed by the complaints of Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass about his orders to the National Guard and U.S. Marines to protect federal personnel and property. He learned during his first term that Democrat governors and mayors can’t be trusted to maintain law and order when there are politically motivated riots to run. By the way, Attorney General Pam Bondi should subpoena LA surveillance video to find out who set out the pallets of bricks for the rioters. Local prosecutors are incurious…” —Minnesota

Re: Pain and Trouble for Children of Divorce

“‘Moses permitted divorce because of the hardness of your hearts.’ Scripture permits, but does not require, divorce in cases of adultery or desertion. Some argue that physical abuse is a form of desertion. Adultery and fornication are not victimless crimes. Besides spreading disease, and the possibility of out-of-wedlock pregnancy, they are a theft of what belongs to the present or future spouse. Like no-fault divorce, replacing laws against these crimes with consenting adult statutes was an error.” —Minnesota

Re: Trump Deals With Our Ultimate Frenemy

“Our feckless politicians have allowed the ChiComs to dominate trade with the U.S. and our disastrous dependence on ChiCom rare earth minerals for our national defense. Accepting 275,000 ‘ChiCom student’ visa holders highlights the untenable position of our country. Secretary Bessent is correct when stating the ChiComs ‘cannot be allowed to export their way back to prosperity.’ The U.S. must encourage mining companies to explore and mine the rare earth minerals required to ensure our national security. Yes, it will cost more than the cheap ChiCom imports, but it will liberate the U.S. from ChiCom dependency and weaken their economy.” —California

“Significant rare earth deposits were discovered in Wyoming more than 30 years ago, and the first positive feasibility study on mining them was completed nearly 20 years ago. But only now is production testing getting started. Regulatory hurdles, arguably frivolous lawsuits by environmental groups, and difficulty obtaining capital have added considerable expense and years of delay to the development. We have to be smarter about mining development.” —Minnesota

Re: Newsom’s Nonsense

“Newsom sees himself as so smart, but he proves the saying, ‘Everyone is intelligent until they open their mouth and prove to the world their level of intelligence.’ What I don’t get is why the Democrats — all of them — are against law and order. Who do they think will back them when the law-abiding leave?” —Wisconsin

“Apparently, some have been convinced by media that Army commanders are so incompetent that their own 250th anniversary snuck up and caught them unawares.” —California

Re: New York Embraces the Culture of Death

“The title of this piece aptly describes the Democrat Party — especially the more succinct wording, ‘Embraces Death.’ The Democrats’ unflinching support for death is truly disturbing and horrific. In an effort to more accurately comprehend their reprobate minds, I will always turn to God’s Word. The truth that lies therein is sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). ‘You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.’ (John 8:44) Yes, folks, the Dems are the party of Satan! Let that truth take up space in your conscience.” —North Carolina
