Re: The Demos ARE Crazy

“AOC’s statement is a succinct indication of the insanity that rules the Democrat Party. They have no understanding of or trust in reality. The break from reality is astounding, and their lemmings drink the elixir by the gallon.” —New Hampshire

“The Democrats are proving that they are either insane or evil or both. Not only are they openly fighting against deporting criminal illegals, but now they are against fighting ANY crime in their Democrat-ruled cities. They scream about Trump cleaning up DC and tell him to leave their Chicago cesspool alone. Add that to all their other idiocies (open borders, DEI, allowing men to compete in women’s sports, abortion until birth, child mutilation) and that should be enough to convince any sane person to never vote Democrat — yet their dullard masses continue to do just that.” —Georgia

Re: Hysterical SNAP Crowd Threatens to Loot

“Ms. Koch is so correct! Spending 45 years as a social worker has shown me that the entitlement of Americans has risen to unhealthy levels, thanks in large part to the entitlement policies of the Left.” —Michigan

“This is what happens when the government replaces the role of churches. Morally bankrupt people (as evidenced by the quotations in your article) demand that ‘the rich’ support their lascivious lifestyles, unencumbered by responsibilities or other restrictions. Properly operating churches help their members who are going through tough times to get back on their feet, but they also teach them a proper attitude regarding laziness and work. (2 Thessalonians 3:10.)” —Ohio

“The behavior that is promised is proof that entitlement is addictive, dangerous, and should be managed by someone who does not benefit from it. Personal responsibility has seemingly disappeared along with the intact family. Chain gangs are no longer visible, but everyone can pick vegetables or fruit. Remember when gleaning was a choice and noble?” —Washington

“I work with SNAP benefit recipients, and it is heartbreaking how many see themselves as victims. So many have been led to believe that they have no way out of their current circumstance. When one person finds a way out, it is so satisfying — but they still hang on to the victim stance about everything. I am afraid the education system has indoctrinated them beyond healing. I think the increased monitoring of work requirements and available work would be very beneficial.” —Wisconsin

Re: Trolling About a Third Trump Term

“I seem to remember when some Democrat pundits were pontificating in 1999 about the possibility of a third term for Bill Clinton. I don’t remember anyone screaming about that. We have a Constitution to limit and prevent such things. I do so love it when Trump gets the Left all lathered up over things that he knows he can’t do. Makes me wonder what he might be doing otherwise, while the Left is freaking out over nonsense.” —Pennsylvania

Re: Government Shutdown 101: A Civics Lesson

“What needs to end is the 17th Amendment. Put the election of senators back in the hands of each state legislature. What the 17th Amendment gave us was the Arkansas governor’s wife moving to New York to get elected to the Senate because she was ‘popular’ there. She isn’t from New York. She was as authentic to New York as the Eiffel Tower is to Las Vegas. Repealing the 17th Amendment gets at fixing the root corruption problem in our national swamp of a government.” —Florida

Re: The Conveniently Forgotten Child Street Walkers of LA

“It’s obvious California lawmakers do not care for the plight of these women. Unfortunately, they are more interested in headline-grabbing ICE protests and worry more about illegal immigrant ‘rights’ than the women being exploited in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, Angelinos and Californians in general are low-information, herd-mentality voters. The same Democrats with their idiotic ideas continue being elected to local governments, Sacramento, and DC.” —California

Re: Gates Moderates on Climate Alarmism

“The greatest human-caused climate issue may be deforestation, and the problem is greatest where people must burn vegetation to cook their food. This is most obvious in northern Africa, where the world’s poorest people expand the Sahara Desert southward by cutting the already sparse trees and thereby removing the critical role they play in the hydrological cycle.” —Minnesota

“What BS. It always amazes me that even for the richest people on the planet, the greed never ends and they always follow the money. Bill Gates hasn’t changed; it’s just that he is heavily invested in nuclear energy and AI, and he knows that AI and all those ginormous data centers require massive amounts of energy that will never be satisfied by ‘green’ energy, only by fossil fuels and nuclear. So I can assure you that Mr. Gates is a hypocrite who will now be telling us that nuclear is the way of the future.” —Georgia

Re: Profiles of Valor: Col Kim Campbell (USAF)

“A great account of a talented and courageous USAF pilot. As an Army Colonel (Ret.), let me say we are tremendously grateful for close-air support from our Air Force sisters and brothers in the A-10s, and we doff our helmets in tribute to them and to the ground crews who put them overhead!” —Minnesota

“As a former Naval Aviator, I salute KC and her fighter aircraft. Now as a private pilot, flying from the civilian ramp at Westover AFB, a flight of four A-10s crossed ahead of me on the ramp. I had been chatting with them as we held for taxi instructions, and I took off first. Ten minutes later, this flock came by me from my 7 o'clock, and the lead proceeded to do a canopy roll over the top of my plane! Made my day. ATC was NOT happy.” —Massachusetts

“Grace is not one of the A-10’s attributes, but uncompromising kill strength is. Reading KC’s story was a testimony of the toughest fighter ever built, and a great pilot!” —Colorado
