“Don’t be surprised when Democrats suggest that the illegal aliens should be counted as three-fifths of a citizen. It worked for them before.”

Re: Social Media and MSM Free Speech Suppression Is Thriving

“This is a fascinating case of countering Zuckerberg’s ‘free speech’ rhetoric. I am a Senate technology staffer and we will be calling you!” —Washington, DC

Re: About Those FBI Crime Stats

“Thank you for an excellent job of documenting the facts under the reckless Biden years in order to fact-check the mass media’s bent truth!” —California

Re: Israel Is Being Compelled to Retake Control of Gaza Strip

“Israel must take total control of Gaza. The Islamist actors in the Middle East will continue to place anti-Israel groups in Gaza if the Arabs/Muslims are allowed to remain in control. Time to move the Islamists out of Gaza and annex it into Israel.” —Texas

Re: Clean Voter Rolls Terrify Democrats

“Expelling noncitizens from the census count would go a long way toward proper representative numbers. Without this correction, there is little incentive not to import noncitizens. I think that is why they do it.” —Washington

“All these warm bodies can be counted in a census, swelling the numbers in big blue cities. This will provide ammunition for a Democrat demand for more seats in Congress. If Trump tries to ‘clean up’ the census numbers by excluding noncitizens, don’t be surprised when Democrats suggest that the illegal aliens should be counted as three-fifths of a citizen. It worked for them before.” —New Hampshire

“You mention the Left’s claim that ‘voter fraud is rare.’ Is it? If we prohibited the IRS from conducting taxpayer audits, we could also claim that ‘tax fraud is rare,’ but it wouldn’t be. We’re not allowed to investigate it. I am originally from Illinois. We invented cheating in elections, and as everyone in that state knows, the dead do NOT vote republican.” —Nebraska

Re: The AFT Joins Forces With the WEF

“How exactly is your annual salary adjustment determined? Performance? What did you do during the year to maintain or improve the area around you? Why exactly are us public school teachers exempt from this procedure? Teachers’ annual salary adjustments and the job itself should be based on how their students’ knowledge improved (salary increase), stayed the same (no salary increase), or declined (teacher removed).” —Illinois

“Once again, Emmy, you wrote an excellent piece. This time on K-12 education. These false teachers unions should be snuffed out by public opinion. Giving control over anything to do with our schools, including public bathrooms and potty training, to the WEF is a mistake in blinders. I shudder to think what the WEF would find acceptable in history or civics, or what and who teachers would hold up as examples to young, impressionable children.” —Kansas

Re: Sweeney vs. Erivo — A Tale of Two Outrages

“Just another nail in the coffin of this country: celebrating twisted individuals and having them replace traditional icons. Similar to vile ‘Hamilton,’ celebrated by Broadway audience elites who wallow in virtue-signaling ‘inclusiveness.’ This Hollywood travesty is right out of Sodom and Gomorrah. There’s a price to be paid (like losing 70% of the standard of living we have all become accustomed to). Welcome to the fun house. ” —New York

Re: Farewell, CAPT Jim Lovell

“I knew Jim for almost 50 years. He was both humble and faithful. Making it back from that mission had a significant impact on how he viewed life!” —Florida

“Jim Lovell’s passing is a lost connection with our past, except for how we immortalize men and women like this. Thank you for this fitting tribute.” —Wisconsin
