“If ‘presidential immunity’ covers seditious/treasonous acts, we have a problem. What’s to prevent a sitting POTUS from direct election interference to secure his reelection or party succession?”

Re: How the MSM Concealed the BIG ‘Russia Collusion’ Lie

“Recall that in 2018, The New York Times and The Washington Post were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 election and its connections to the Trump campaign. And they have not been rescinded…” —New York

“The CBS ‘60 Minutes’ interview did, indeed, exemplify how the MSM collaborated to conceal the truth about the Russian collusion lie. And of course, despite the Mueller and Durham findings, there were going to be no convictions and prison sentences for the Obama/Biden hacks involved. But there is a new sheriff in town…” —South Carolina

“Alexander noted, ‘However, the 2024 SCOTUS decision in Trump v. United States affirmed presidential immunity from prosecution for official acts, and that would likely preclude any successful prosecution of Obama or Biden.’ Let’s hope that something about what Obama and Biden did is a prosecutable offense beyond the scope of the SCOTUS decision.” —California

“Regarding presidential immunity, there are two distinct levels of immunity for public officials: absolute and qualified. Neither of the two levels allows for immunity to be extended for known criminal activity. In other words, the president cannot commit murder and then claim ‘immunity’ from prosecution. Absolute immunity is extended to POTUS when he makes reasonable decisions that are made in the normal course of his official duties.” —Oklahoma

“If ‘presidential immunity’ covers seditious/treasonous acts, we have a problem. What’s to prevent a sitting POTUS from direct election interference to secure his reelection or party succession? Those acts certainly aren’t in the ‘execution of presidential duties’!” —Michigan

Re: Why Did Trump Hit His Base Over Epstein?

“As was said, if there was a list and President Trump’s name was on it, the Democrats would have plastered it all over every newspaper, news report, magazine, television ad, and milk carton they could find. I would be willing to bet if there was a list, there were a lot of Democrats on it.” —Arizona

Re: When Personality Quirks Turned Into Medical Diagnoses

“The origins of this are far older than 2013 and far more diverse than Big Pharma. ADHD diagnosis began at least in the 1970s, and ‘special education’ for some who were undoubtedly simply undiagnosed autistics began in the 1960s. But psychiatry has promulgated ‘Better living through chemistry’ since before Freud. And yet, we are unable to demarcate the boundaries to differentiate deviant versus quaint personalities. It is easier to acquiesce to the doctrine that ‘normal’ (whatever that is) is good and all else is bad. Our society is desperate for visionary leadership from 1984 and to lead us away from an arguably worse destination of a ‘Brave New World.’” —Missouri

“Excellent article. The day one realizes he makes mistakes and is not a mistake is the day one sets himself free of the slavery of labels. HALT — Have a Laugh Today. I can make the dumbest mistakes and God’s still on His throne loving and forgiving me.” —California

Re: Six Months in, Trump Has Notched a Lot of Wins

“Biden complained earlier this month, ‘Many of the things I worked so damn hard, that I thought I changed in the country, are changing so rapidly.’ Yeah, that’s a feature, not a bug.” —Oklahoma

“Is anyone tired of all the winning yet? Well, we’ve scored several touchdowns already, but it’s only halfway through the first quarter. Our opponents remain a threat, and we still have numerous objectives to accomplish. So, let’s remember to thank God for the success He has granted us so far and ask Him to give the Trump administration and the rest of us greater strength and wisdom to persevere.” —Minnesota

Re: Colbert, NPR, and ‘Free’ Speech

“Maher is blowing smoke about rural people not having sufficient ‘access.’ Even if you live deep in a forest surrounded by 50-foot trees where broadband can’t reach you, satellite (HEO or preferably LEO) can. Also, broadband and cellphone service are the same thing. This is what happens when multimillionaire CEOs who live in gigabit-speed metroplexes start talking about technologies they’ve never had to use and know nothing about. They tend to say a lot of stupid things.” —Oklahoma

“NPR and Colbert are not the only ones conflating paid speech with free speech. Harvard University is headed to court, complaining that the withholding of federal funds over its tacit support of ethnic/religious bigotry infringes on freedom of speech. But Thomas Jefferson had the opposite take: ‘To compel a man to pay for the propagation of [religious] opinions he disbelieves and abhors, is both tyrannical and sinful.’” —Minnesota

Re: The Renewed Spat Over WNBA Player Pay

“Right on the money again, Emmy. Only I might suggest their real problem is much like all those kids who went to college to major in social studies and then finding there aren’t really any jobs when they graduate. They simultaneously clamor about how much time and effort they have put into their career and how they deserve to be paid what they feel like they are worth. No concept of economics, marketing, or the risk-and-reward potential of the choices they make.” —Nevada

Re: ‘This Is Not My Home’: Part I

“I was in an HQ in Vietnam. Every day, our Operations received all after-action reports from all over. One clerk read a report about an infantry unit moving along a ridge, stopping, and several soldiers going to a river to fill canteens. They heard a noise and set up a hasty ambush, killing two VC and capturing three weapons. This clerk also received a newspaper from home, and it reported the aforementioned event. But, it had the VC setting up a hasty ambush, killing two Americans and capturing three weapons. Which report do you believe?” —Texas
