Re: The New York Times Makes an Illegal Identity Thief the Victim
“The hypocrisy of the Left is thinking that we need to treat these illegals as world citizens, but we can’t be world citizens because that is cultural appropriation. There is a large problem with the regimes of foreign governments that can’t protect their own citizens from each other when one (or more) of them tries to become an entrepreneur and do better for themselves by starting a business. When they do that, they are immediately targeted by the criminal elements, and the state does nothing to stop it. In many cases, it’s the state itself that comes with its hand out.” —Ontario, Canada
“Such a tragedy that these illegal aliens (legal term) are, against their free will, forced (forced, I say!) to rely upon fraudulent, stolen Social Security Numbers. Oh, the humanity! If only they had another recourse, like — oh, I don’t know — legally entering the U.S. via a port of entry.” —Oklahoma
Re: Why Subjective Definitions of Life Cannot Guide Abortion Law
“We have already discovered that society is not capable of protecting the unborn. Even with the grace of God, society declines to jump in and do the right thing. That leaves only government and laws to protect those who cannot otherwise be protected. I don’t like the government having to make laws because it’s not qualified to do so, either, always disputing among those few hundred lawmakers as to when life begins. Hence, the unborn will remain an issue for eternity, and those we can save will be saved.” —Washington
Re: The Growing Pro-Life Cause
“I pray the tort injury lawsuits over Mifepristone injuries will bankrupt its prescribers and suppliers.” —Illinois
Re: A New Low in Political Messaging
“This is not the Democrats’ first attempt to undermine the chain of command. In the January 6, 2021, incident, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi infamously called the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, claimed without evidence that President Trump was insane, and ‘ordered’ him to ignore any military deployment orders (particularly the use of nuclear weapons). Such behavior deserves the severest censure from the voters. We can’t have congressional ‘military lawyers’ questioning every order.” —Minnesota
Re: A Real Russian Scandal Goes Worldwide
“As regards suspicious X accounts, recall Rush Limbaugh exposed the thousands of posts critical of him as being generated by 8-10 accounts. This fakery has been going on as long as there’s been an Internet and social media. Kudos, again, to Elon Musk and his team for opening the curtain.” —New Jersey
“MAGA posts all over illustrate this bot influence. For example, the hatred for Ukraine abounds. And there are the Vladimir Putin apologists. Poor Russia — alone against the world, just fighting back. At least now we know the source.” —Oklahoma
Re: College Grads Have Little to Show for Grade Inflation
“Grade inflation harms those who actually earn good grades because their own merit is made questionable by prospective employers. It damages universities’ reputations. Worse, there is pressure to dumb down the coursework to accommodate ill-prepared minds unpracticed in learning complex material. This is a road to technological stagnation and civilizational failure. Oh, and foreign students may stop bringing their tuition money when they realize American schools are no longer elite.” —Minnesota
Re: Turkeys, Trump, and Really Giving Thanks
“One wonders: Now that the ‘G’-word (God) is not allowed in our schools, to whom are the children taught to give thanks? McDonald’s?” —Pennsylvania
“From the Leftcoast, let me just say: AMEN!” —California
“Just what we all need to hear! With gratitude for the Patriot Post team!” —New York
“Every American should read this post! Thank you, Alexander, and especially to your great team!” —Arizona
“Thank you and your staff for your inspiration!” —Washington
