Re: The Real Reason for Floating Bondi’s Trans-Ban on Gun Purchases

“I think Alexander is right — this is a classic Trump troll to get Democrats to defend Second Amendment rights, while reminding everyone the shooter was one of their own.” —California

“Great analysis! With regard to ATF form 4473 and question 21g, Mark Alexander nails it. But what about question 14? Sex: Male, Female, or Non-binary. Excuse me?!? Biden’s ATF added that option so as not to offend those suffering from gender dysphoria. Indeed, Trump’s ATF should start by amending that question with two options for sex identity.” —Massachusetts

“May I suggest, based on the fact that the overwhelming number of people shooting other people are Democrat constituents, that being a Democrat should be an exclusionary factor.” —Illinois

Re: Cracker Barrel Desperately Deletes ‘Pride’ and ‘DEI’ Pages

“I will return to Cracker Barrel once CEO Julie Masino has been fired. I am tired of the unnecessary costs associated with wealthy corporate CEO agendas.” —Georgia

“Changing words does not change the culture. The CB stockholders must eradicate their board of leftists, and then fire the CEO. It is amazing that a woke, ignorant lefty can get paid $7 million per year to burn $700 million in a failed rebrand.” —North Carolina

“Seriously, Masino was paid $7 million last year? Too bad she did not earn a cent of it, not just for her stockholders, but for the company’s 70,000 employees.” —Ohio

“Thank you for pointing out what the MSM has not — that Cracker Barrel’s downslide did not start last month or even last year. It embraced DEI, gender perversion, mutilating children, and killing unborn babies long ago.” —Colorado

“The problem is CB’s board of directors. They knew what they wanted in a CEO, and they selected Masino to lead the company in the direction they demanded. Responsibility for the disastrous rebrand falls directly upon CB’s board of directors. If you want to know why corporations, colleges, and universities have gone ‘woke,’ look at their wealthy, out-of-tough boards.” —Kentucky

Re: Trump Prepares to Tackle More Blue-City Lawlessness

“Judge Breyer did not acknowledge the act of Congress prohibiting insurrection or the constitutional provision giving the president control of the militia to suppress insurrection or rebellion. If LA residents attacking government officials with the express purpose of thwarting enforcement of the laws is not insurrection or rebellion, what is? President Trump has precedent on his side; George Washington personally led the Army to put down the Whiskey Rebellion after Treasury agents were attacked.” —Minnesota

Re: How Deportations Are Connected to Blowing Up Terrorists

“Fishermen, innocent civilians, terrorism, war crimes? The Left has gone to a completely hysterical level of TDS. The intelligence agencies involved in this strike knew exactly who was behind the shipment and who/what were on that boat before action was taken. They remain silent simply because they do not want to endanger their in-country sources. Trump et. al did not coin the phrase ‘The War on Drugs’ that has been mainly raging unchecked in the U.S. for decades. This is simply a different approach, which may or may not be successful.” —California

“We all know why the Democrats want illegals in the country: VOTES! All they care about is power, and they get it through votes. They will defend the indefensible just to keep Trump from successfully carrying out his America First agenda. Results are not what Democrats want! They want dependents. As for me, I want a president who does what he says and doesn’t just provide lip service and pats on the back just to get a vote.” —Illinois

Re: Leftists Try to Drive Wedges Between Republicans

“‘Collective genius’ is exactly the point, which a very successful businessman like Trump knows full well. You hire people based on merit, not skin color or who they sleep with. This used to be a given because if you hired based on those other factors, you’d get sued for discrimination (the old-fashioned umbrella term that covered everything, which now has to be specifically defined as an ‘-ism’). There will always be disagreements in any group of people, but the important part is that the GOP has goals they are striving toward through compromise, unlike the Left, which cancels those who drift from the party doctrine. As usual, the Dems are trying to transfer their own destructive divisiveness onto the Republicans and, as usual, are wrong.” —Pennsylvania

Re: Teaching Gun Safety in Schools

“I believe teaching gun safety in schools is a great idea. I also think that we should reinstitute marksmanship classes in high schools. It gives teachers an idea of who is responsible and who might be a threat to society. We need to instill in young minds the value of life, and that it’s not a video game! If you shoot someone, you ruin multiple lives, including your own.” —Illinois

“It’s extremely interesting that there is no mention from Amy Maples about the NRA’s Eddie Eagle Program, available to, and used by, schools in all 50 states free of charge since 1988. Why are Memphis-Shelby County schools and the local law enforcement and health departments now reinventing the wheel at taxpayer expense? Collaboration with local health departments may tempt one to suspect that Maples has an agenda of indoctrinating children against guns under the guise of promoting gun safety.” —Kentucky

Re: Spying and Espionage Belie Trump’s Policy on Chinese Students

“President Trump and Secretary Rubio, would you please show us which students from the communist People’s Republic of China do not have connections to the Chinese Communist Party and, according to Article 7 of the PRC National Intelligence Law, are not required to engage in espionage?” —Kentucky

Re: Wednesday Short Cuts

“As an investor, I am amazed at how businesses hire idiots at top-level positions who only know how to waste money on doing the wrong things. Bud Light and Cracker Barrel are two prime examples. Who pays for these follies? Not the perpetrators of these ‘crimes.’ The investors pay! As a citizen, who pays when I vote Republican, but our Democrat governor or AG decides to sue POTUS for doing something he has the legal right to do? Americans: Get involved! Protect your rights and your tax dollars! Who is wasting your taxes because it does not come from their own pocket?” —Nevada

Re: Unanswered Prayer

“Ron Helle is one of the main reasons I read The Patriot Post. Yes, the other news items and memes are excellent. Heller just has a spirit-given gift of making God’s Word relevant in today’s evil world. Thank you for all you do.” —Florida

Re: Profiles of Valor: SP4 Larry Dahl (USA)

“I remember this battle well. I was an Air Cavalry crew chief on a Huey out of Camp Holloway outside of Pleiku. The gooks were dug in under a rock ledge, so attacking from the air was useless. But the gun trucks could and did fire up and could reach the enemy. By the way, the Mang Yang pass was ALWAYS a meat grinder.” —Oregon

“As a retired Army Colonel, let me offer a word of thanks for Alexander’s Profiles of Valor. Sadly, too many of our American citizens have no connection with such sacrifice. They worship celebrity and adulate those who add little benefit to our nation. These articles are an important contribution by countering that trend.” —Minnesota
