Reader Comments

“The entire California economy is based off of slave labor, and all of the slaves’ housing, medical care, and food is subsidized by hardworking Americans in red areas. That needs to stop.”

Re: The Independence Day Medals of Honor

“As one of your active-duty military readers (USN aviator since 2014), thank you for such a refreshing Independence Day column focused on our legacy of Liberty!” —Virginia

“Amazing that Alexander researched and included Medal of Honor recipients whose actions were actually on the 4th of July. Thank you for honoring those who have earned it!” —Florida

“As a lifelong historian, I appreciate the accuracy that The Patriot Post editors ensure with every edition, particularly as it pertains to our Revolutionary War history. Blessing of Liberty indeed!” —New Hampshire

Re: Trump Learned the Lessons of Iraq

“How many centrifuges and how much uranium was destroyed? Enough to capture the attention of the physicists and skilled technicians whose job is to make a working nuclear bomb. Considering the number of high-ranking military and political leaders that have been eliminated by the Israelis recently, the physicists and techs, being smart people, must know their name and home address are on an Israeli list too. If the Ayatollah called me and said, ‘The damage was minimal; time to go back to work,’ I think I’d call in sick for the next few years.” —New Hampshire

Re: Democrats Offer Little but Socialism and Infighting

“Rather than wait for direction from a self-absorbed leadership, downstream Democrats should look around and try thinking for themselves. It is unrealistic to believe that everything associated with the popular vote is evil and that the people making those votes are uninformed. Turns out they are doing what they believe rather than what they are told. It is called freedom.” —Washington

Re: Trump’s Big Win Against Universal Injunctions

“I hope MAGA Inc. now apologizes to Barrett for their uncalled-for attacks against her. Just because SOME of her decisions went against the president doesn’t mean she was a bad pick. Judges aren’t supposed to be loyal to the presidents who appointed them. This ruling, and Barrett’s equally strong rebuttal to Jackson’s dissent, shows that she is absolutely the solid originalist we knew she was.” —California

Re: California’s Illegal Alien Workforce Problem

“Unfortunately, the crucial point is that all of those families who are supported by the income of an illegal alien earning slave wages are also collecting Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, government housing, and/or SNAP benefits. All of that is paid for by the rest of the country. So the entire California economy is based off of slave labor, and all of the slaves’ housing, medical care, and food is subsidized by hardworking Americans in red areas. That needs to stop. It is wealth distribution/communism forced on us by sanctuary city policies.” —Colorado

Re: SCOTUS Slaps Planned Parenthood

“As a moralist, abortion is a horror! It is the murder of a human. Our ethics and morality do not allow us an avenue around it. As an entity of world governance, it is a requirement to circumvent the actual threat of world overpopulation. As a social observer, it is a mechanism to keep the ethnic population in balance. Even the aspect of the theory of controlling the level of crime by eliminating the birth of low-income offspring is another point of focus. Who’s right? (Hint: The moralist.)” —Georgia

Re: Democrats Offer Little but Socialism and Infighting

“The Democrats are struggling to come up with a common mantra to win back the power they so covet. They yearn for that power! Do they desire the power and influence to manage and lead America to a better, more equitable, healthier society? No! The party is about power for its own sake. They seek to reface themselves without altering the maniacal goals of their inner desires. Put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig. They want socialism. They want to set aside America’s belief in a Superior Power and make the socialist government the focus of worship, fear, and dependence.” —Georgia

Re: Law of Unintended Consequences

“Yes, we are to love the Lord will all of our being and to show our love for others by proclaiming the Gospel. It is also time for Christians to eagerly anticipate the coming joy of Christ calling His church upward in The Rapture. ‘Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.’ (2 Tim. 4:8) The Rapture is the next event on God’s prophetic calendar. Let us not fail to boldly reach out and share the Good News so that many others can receive that crown of righteousness too. Maranatha!” —North Carolina
