Re: About That Cracker Barrel Rebranded Brand Rebrand

“I have seen the CEO’s ‘new and improved’ interior design, and I wonder if she is as feckless and boring as the new look. The interiors are BORING and just plain BLAH. Totally uninviting. Get rid of that CEO before she mandates serving vegan meat and other fake food!” —Arizona

“Change for the sake of change is not a good management strategy. It has ruined pro sports. It has soiled the names and reputation of many branded products. It turns cities, states, and countries into unsafe hellholes. It has destroyed higher education. It has destroyed public education. It turns law and order into chaos. The changes that failed: Renaming sports teams because someone thinks a name is insulting certain people when it actually honors them.” —Massachusetts

Re: Is the UK Collapsing Into a Civil War?

“It would be apt to conclude that the sun has set on the British empire. Overlooking crime against and allowing racism to harm the native Briton certainly show what kind of people are in authority in the United Kingdom. Dismantling DEI and reverse racism and standing up to black racists in government have shown that all Americans have had enough of this Marxist manure and are willing to fight back.” —North Carolina

“It’s too bad that articles like this will never get into the mainstream media in the U.S. It should be a wake-up call for America.” —California

Re: Trump, Flag Burning, and 3-D Chess

“First of all, the justices who said flag burning is protected under the First Amendment made a horrible and ungodly communist ruling. It needs to be overthrown. Burning something is not speech. Burning something is dangerous. Burning something in public is arson. Burning something in public is incitement to violence. Burning something in public is a danger to the public, and there are already laws against it. Stealing someone’s flag and burning it is not only burglary but also a violent crime and vandalism. So, burning a flag is not protected free speech. I don’t care what the Supreme Court said — it was wrong.” —Colorado

Re: The Deadly ‘Trans’ Assault in Minneapolis

“Shame on the media, indeed! In one of the shooter’s writings (like it or not, he’s a male), he says he hates the trans charade he has been living, obviously with his mother’s help. (I haven’t heard of any father figure in his life.) Surely he professed his feelings to others, so why wasn’t he given help? Simple intervention could have prevented this terrible event. It’s time to focus on involuntary confinement for the good of the trans people and society as a whole.” —West Virginia

“While the liberals express their fury about ‘gun control,’ they very conveniently overlook the one common denominator in these mass killings — ‘mentally ill.’ The worst thing the Democrat governors did in the ‘70s and '80s was to shut down all the long-term-care psychiatric hospitals. Now these poor, sick souls wander our streets, a severe danger to themselves and to decent citizens. Every one of these atrocities has been preceded by numerous 'red flags.’” —Pennsylvania

“Why don’t they tap into the rather large population of ex-military, retired policemen and firemen, and marksmen that adorn gun clubs? Trained and vetted vigorously, of course. But give us a degree of legal protection and set us about school properties as resource officers. I can predict that every single one of us would happily do this for free, and we might even pay for our own training. There are plenty of heroes out there willing to serve. If only you’d let us.” —Oklahoma

Re: The Truth About Abortion and Mental Health

“I worked with a group called Women Exploited by Abortion. One cannot begin to describe the heartbreak of many post-abortion women. It is beyond grief; it is anguish. It is a primordial feeling of loss. Some young girls are hit especially hard after their first live birth and the gravity of what they just did really sinks in.” —Pennsylvania

Re: Newsom’s Nonsensical Narrative

“New Orleans has been controlled by Democrats for decades. Gavin Newsom should look at a map. Speaker Mike Johnson’s district is in Northwest Louisiana, nowhere near NOLA. Mr. Newsom makes the same mistake millions of people do. New Orleans isn’t the entire state.” —Texas
