Re: Trump Administration Finally Gets ICE Right

“Excellent summary of what Trump MUST get right, or else.” —California

“A 14-point beatdown by a Democrat in a district Trump won by 17 points is a harbinger of the bloodbath to come in November if Trump does not get this back on track.” —Oklahoma

“The Democrats are slippery, sneaky, and worthy of being called snakes in the grass of Washington. It’s a constant chess game. Trump wins more times than not!” —Illinois

“Alexander is right about that low voter turnout in Texas. Mr. Rehmet should not get too cozy in his leather chair in the Texas Senate. He will face Leigh Wambsganss in the November general election, when this reliably red district shall return to its natural color.” —Texas

Re: Trump’s Address to America’s Illegal Aliens

“Absolutely not. It’s a slap in the face of all those who went to the expense and effort to come here legally and work hard to become American and support America. Those who cheat to get in are ungrateful for the opportunity, and it clearly shows. Just look at all the foreign flags they are waving in our face.” —North Carolina

“We voted to remove all illegal aliens who came here without proper verification, and I believe that is what most citizens still want. They are taking up resources — food, housing, and jobs — that belong to citizens. Our resources are not unlimited, and with the advent of AI, neither are jobs.” —Alabama

“We have no need to reward any of this, and if we don’t have the courage and conviction to not do that for emotional reasons, than maybe we’re in the wrong party. The illegals have already been offered money and transportation to leave, so they need to get out on their own or get out when they get caught. We should also reward citizens for turning them in! That would speed things up and discourage it from continuing. The same goes for turning in aggressors against ICE” —Florida

“How would you address medical care for these illegal immigrants so that it will stop being the massive burden that it is today?” —North Carolina

Re: The Future Is on ICE

“We must keep in mind that the media has shifted the focus away from the investigation of fraud in Minnesota to federal immigration enforcement. It is interesting that ICE has been working in Minnesota for quite some time, as they tell us 7,000 illegal aliens had been removed from the state prior to Thanksgiving with no problems noted. The fraud investigation was brought to light shortly after Thanksgiving, and suddenly the state became overrun with agitators and protesters to ICE actions, many apparently from out of state. Is it possible the protests are a diversion from the fraud investigation as some state elected leaders are being investigated for involvement or possibly turning a blind eye to it? Interesting timing, for sure.” —Minnesota

Re: How the GOP Can Win the Midterms

“The Democrats are willing to say, support, and do anything, no matter how anti-American, that will return them to power. Even pandering to violent insurrectionists is not beyond them. However, at its heart (within the heartland), America is still a ‘red state.’ What must be done to save America from itself is somehow ensure that the voters in the hinterlands turn out in record numbers to vote in this midterm election. Maybe it starts with a mid-summer convention, but it will take all of us who are concerned to encourage and challenge those in the heartland to vote.” —Ohio

Re: Will 1A Come to Don Lemon’s Aid?

“It was an attack on a church while its members were engaged in worshipping God. The protection of free speech is no less important than the protection of freedom to worship peacefully without concern that evil people will burst in to their worship and begin killing them, as is happening in Nigeria. Had they come in quietly and respectfully and made their statements and asked questions without using threatening tactics, they would have a case. But since they acted like deranged lunatics, how were the innocent congregants to know what they intended to do? Don Lemon is a nothingburger; it doesn’t much matter if he gets a slap on the wrist or a pat on the back. He’s done either way! The rest need to go to jail!” —Alabama

Re: ‘Systemic Racism’ Is Killing Black Americans … Slowly?

“Systemic racism is based primarily on the fact that so many black people are stuck living on urban poverty plantations as a result of the Democrats’ welfare schemes. This began in earnest in the mid-1960s with LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ program that destroyed the black nuclear family by banning husbands from living in the home as a condition for getting a government check. This led to more and more illegitimate births when women saw that each child increased the size of the check. Couple that with no males to guide and influence the children, and you have a recipe for what is happening now: young men and women with no direction in life and little hope of escaping this enslavement. And those who govern blue cities don’t care about anything but votes. Shameful!” —Alabama

Re: Good News: Detransitioner Wins Big Malpractice Suit

“Her award should have been 10 times that amount for savage butchery and lifelong mental torment.” —California

Re: How Japan and China’s History Impacts Taiwan

“I’d like to thank Brent Ramsey for all the research and time he spends producing these not-often-enough articles. They are truly fascinating to me.” —Utah
