“If our irresponsible representatives are going to spend healthcare money on illegals, they should at least have the good judgment to send the bill to the government of origin.”

Re: The Demos’ Deviant Transnormalcy Agenda

“Thanks for this reminder that the Democrats are always working to undermine family and faith, the foundational pillars of American Liberty. Our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and values, and that is antithetical to the Left’s agenda to deify the state.” —New York

“So, the ‘Philly Pride Visitor Center’ gives visitors and residents a place to connect with Philadelphia’s LGBTQ+ history? Sounds like another venue for visitors and residents to hook up!” —California

“The cure is God — and for many, better mental health care for their pathology. There is nothing loving about normalizing deviant pathology.” —Ohio

“I appreciate Alexander’s awareness that many of those mired in the mud of sexual deviancy are there because they were the victims of sexual abuse. Democrats have abandoned them in their resulting pathology in order to appease their ‘sympathetic’ female voter constituency. And as Alexander noted, that is truly hateful.” —Tennessee

Re: The Trouble With Progressivism

“In addition to the glaring absence of the term ‘balance’ in any description of today’s ‘hysterical, humorless, and fantasy-prone progressives’ and most Democrats is their utter disregard of the traditional value of common sense. May the growing degeneration of Democrat progressives continue to its ultimate demise and enable the timely restoration of our nation’s exceptional greatness.” —Florida

Re: Trump to China: FAFO

“If it wasn’t for the eco-nuts suing every time we had the chance to mine our own minerals, we would not be in this mess. We need losers to pay instead of sue, baby, sue. We have too many laws and way too many lawyers. The eco-nuts have done too much damage to the U.S.. Drill, baby, drill. Dig, baby, dig. Build the refiners that we need.” —Wisconsin

“China should know that demanding approval from Beijing to sell American-made products to other nations is ‘not the correct way to get along with’ America. We have not lost the character that sent the U.S. Navy and Marines across the Atlantic and into the Mediterranean to inform the Barbary pirates that we would not pay them tribute for our right to freely trade. The surest way to make America irate is to tell us what we can or cannot do outside of China’s internationally recognized boundaries.” —Minnesota

Re: The Left’s Deadly War on America

“One of my mind games has always been the destruction of things. Weird, I know, but boys take apart toy cars, clocks, and their brothers’ things. It’s human nature. When I entered the workforce, in my many capacities, I first learned how to take apart my work environment. It was learning ‘what made the clock tick.’ Later in life, I made a career of figuring out why things weren’t going right and fixing them when others could not. That being said, many of the anarchists in America are emotional foundlings, semiliterate, and unable to figure out ‘how to put the clock back together.’ They are still at the ‘take apart’ stage. Adults are those who know it’s easy to take things apart but much more difficult to put them back together. Some never consider the latter.” —Nevada

Re: Men and Women Need to Learn to Like One Another Again: Part I

“Emmy Griffin is right on. There’s no sense elaborating, as I believe she hit all the correct nails on the head. I am a longtime divorcee, and the thought of engaging with a woman who just wants to spend all my money and completely change my lifestyle that has served me well for decades is certainly not in my interest.” —Tennessee

“I was in a restaurant recently, and a young Amish couple came in with four young children. It seems they are doing their part to propagate their community, but I wonder if they get counted in the overall scheme of things. They tend to stay in their communities. I’m not sure if they vote or become involved in the world outside their own. Will they be the ones to keep the birth rate up? And to what end?” —West Virginia

Re: Illegal Immigrants Are on Medicaid — Taxpayers Deserve the Truth

“Folks should pay attention to the facts, not the Democrat media. No Democrat in office today, save maybe John Fetterman, should be elected to stay in office at his/her next election. This shutdown debacle is clearly meant to enhance and maintain the Democrats control over folks who have no inclination to evaluate the Democrats’ mendacity.” —California

Re: Dem ‘Fact-Checkers’ Fail on ObamaCare Lie

“If our irresponsible representatives are going to spend healthcare money on illegals, they should at least have the good judgment to send the bill to the government of origin. Do that and see what happens to illegals running up a bill for the home team.” —Washington

Re: Democrats’ Reaction to Hostage Release Is a Mess

“The Demo progressive response to the Trump administration’s ceasefire agreement is not surprising. I’m maintaining a healthy skepticism while details are finalized, but I’m encouraged so far. We have not seen United Nations involvement in implementing the ceasefire. Its involvement would be a slow descent back to where we were on October 7, 2023.” —California

Re: The Left’s Deadly War on America

“Having weakened social cohesion by attacking faith, family, and national tradition while dumbing down education and exacerbating differences, leftists are moving to the middle stages of a violent Communist takeover attempt. The intent now is to discredit the government with propaganda by being ungovernable. If government units can be corrupted (see Minnesota), so much the better. The present tactic is to intimidate, silence, or eliminate effective political opponents to the Communist Revolution.” —Minnesota
