“I’m sorry, but the $600 rebate is a waste of any portion of gains made through the tariffs. No wonder Elon Musk jumped ship stiff-legged.”

Re: Clinton/Russia Collusion Conspiracy Confirmed

“Garland received the Durham report in 2023, and DOJ sat on it until Bondi succeeded him. That is prima facie obstruction of justice re: the crimes detailed therein. It is time to indict the co-conspirators, and maybe those in Biden’s DOJ who obstructed those indictments.” —Illinois

“Thank you to Alexander for noting that Obama and Biden may not enjoy immunity because their role in this fabrication conspiracy may not fall under ‘official acts.’ That is the contestable question.” —Minnesota

“The SCOTUS presidential immunity case may protect Obama and Biden, but the full disclosure of this conspiracy will further reveal the rot and decay in the Democrat Party, and that will further erode party brand loyalty. That disclosure is critical regardless of indictments.” —California

Re: It’s Not Just a ‘Cincinnati Problem’

“After an officer-involved shooting in 2001, much of this area of Cincinnati was destroyed, and it has never recovered. It is a familiar template set by the Rodney King arrest in Los Angeles, and since by the Michael Brown and George Floyd riots.” —Ohio

“This is yet another example of how we have fallen as a nation. It’s not full-blown anarchy as it is on the streets of putrid Portland and other Democrat holes, but it’s getting there…” —Oregon

Re: Hamas Is Starving the Children

“Now it is even more convincing that the UN is anti-Semitic, even acting as a proxy for the support of Hamas against Palestinian women and children. Time to send an urgent communique to President Trump: DEFUND THE UN. There has been talk to do so in the past, but now is the time to act. We can take the funds that the UN has been squandering and channel it directly to groups like the GHF. Perhaps Israel and others can also provide new levels of assistance in the operation to make sure it’s done right this time to ensure long-lasting benefits for the people who need that aid the most.” —North Carolina

Re: Gender Clinics Are Done — A Return to Sanity

“How did this assault on young children and teens even get started? What elements in our society have the power to simply start a trend that has damaging ramifications that will result in a lifetime of regret, drug dependency, or possibly taking one’s life? As a society, we need to completely vet those advocacy groups that shoot for the most extreme limits a civilized society will tolerate and prosecute those who refuse to comply.” —Georgia

Re: Is Hawley’s Tariff Rebate a Good Idea?

“I’m sorry, but the $600 rebate (or whatever it is being touted as) is a waste of any portion of gains made through the tariffs. No wonder Elon Musk jumped ship stiff-legged. Granted, $150 billion is a pittance as far as paying down own our debt, but that is exactly where it should go, not enhancing lawmakers’ election chances as we approach the midterms.” —West Virginia

“I think any excess monies from tariffs should be used toward righting the ship. Congress needs to live within a budget like the rest of us. It has become apparent that the government is extremely bloated. Let’s take the opportunity to pass legislation that requires living within a budget, as well as an across-the-board 15% reduction in staff, which would make a huge statement that the government is aligned with the people.” —Florida

Re: Artificial Intelligence Is an Energy Monster

“First, the U.S. needs more nuclear power plants as well as fuel reprocessing. Second, these data centers need to have their own power plants as a condition of building them and connecting to the grid. Whether that is dedicated small modular reactors or a combination of wind, solar, and battery storage, they should not be allowed to just connect into what all the current rate payers and investors have built.” —Tennessee

Re: Trump to Senate: DO YOUR JOB

“The Senate has not been the world’s Greatest Deliberative Body since the ratification of the 17th Amendment in 1923. Let’s face it, once the senators realized they weren’t beholden to their states legislatures and could get reelected by popular vote and dark money from super PACs and billionaires, their main concern became holding on to power.” —California

Re: The ChiComs Are Banning Some Americans From Leaving

“We need to quit doing business with China altogether. The CCP is an evil, insidious apparatus that needs to fail, and we need to quit propping it up with U.S. dollars. A long game would involve revoking all their visas, banning issuance of new ones, and forcing them to divest of all their investment portfolios and real estate in the U.S. There’s a different (better) side to the Trump tariffs besides short-run costs, and that is to show everyone we can do without China.” —Oklahoma

“China is pursuing AI as aggressively as the U.S. China generates power using coal-fired power plants, often using cheap, dirty coal. As China expands its energy-generating capacity to meet the demands from AI, what will happen to the world’s air quality? China’s pollution travels all over the globe. What can or should the world be doing about this? Should one nation be allowed to destroy the world’s atmosphere?” —Florida

Re: Profiles of Valor: SSG Clint Romesha (USA)

“As a retired Navy Commander with combat tours in Iraq with our fellow Marines, let all of us live lives worthy of the sacrifice of men like Clint Romesha. We squids and jarheads are prouder than we often admit of our fellow Army warriors — but don’t tell anyone.” —North Carolina
