Re: Major Medical Groups Are Changing Policy on Treating Gender-Confused Kids

“I spent 40 years as a practicing physician, and I never thought I’d be rooting for the tort lawyers. Being retired, I don’t know if any of the surgery or meds were covered by insurance, but my guess is no. The plastic surgeons I knew would accept insurance for breast reconstruction after cancer surgery, but breast enlargement for purely cosmetic reasons was cash up front. This awakening is all about money.” —New Hampshire

“This is great news. Growing up often contains some level of gender confusion, especially in the early teen years/puberty. When I was about seven or eight, I remember putting on a wig my mom had and calling myself a girl’s name. I even yelled to my mom that I was a girl. She yanked the wig off, slapped me, and said, ‘You are not a girl!’ I look back on that and love it!” —Texas

Re: Homeless Die Under Mamdani’s ‘Warmth of Collectivism’

“So, what’s surprising here? He’s doing the same thing Russia, China, Venezuela, and every other communist haven have done. Hungry people? Let ‘em starve. More people than a city can feed? Relocate them to uninhabited areas and allow them to fend for themselves (AKA starve). Too many people speaking their minds? Move them out to Siberia or the Gobi Desert, or stick them in already overcrowded prisons and let them fight for survival against career criminals. It works the same every time.” —California

Re: Anti-ICE Student Walkouts Erupt Across the U.S.

“Stop teacher and administration pay until they regain control of their responsibilities. If that doesn’t work, join the resistance. Shut down the schools. Make parents leave their jobs to care for their kids. Old Joe did it during the COVID pandemic, so precedence has been set.” —California

Re: Trump Administration Finally Gets ICE Right

“Thank you for the clarity on both the Texas state senate race and the correction of course on ICE — getting back to what Trump promised, focusing on the worst of the worst.” —California

Re: Leftmedia Frets Over Whiteness at Winter Olympics

“How ridiculous and stupid! Surely, the selection of athletes to represent one’s country at the Olympics should be based upon performance and demonstrated skills. Race and skin color should have no consideration in the selection of these athletes. To use race or skin color as a consideration in selecting athletes to represent their country in the Olympics is the epitome of racism! Wake up, folks!” —South Carolina

“I wonder if the AP has taken notice that 85% of the NFL and 90% of the NBA are black. Just sayin’.” —Illinois

Re: Justice Jackson’s Grammy for Partisan Hackery

“Surely anyone who cannot or will not provide a definition for the word ‘woman’ either does not have the intellectual capacity required to be a justice of the SCOTUS or he/she is politically motivated as a leftist. Whichever the case, this woman is not qualified for the job and should be impeached. (Yeah, I’m sure that will happen!)” —South Carolina

“Too bad Jackson didn’t remove herself when the dialogue turned political. Though the Left probably would be attacking her now with demands of resignation for walking out on their diatribe. She might have earned some credibility from the rest of America as well. The fainting goats would have been terrific comedy for the political screamfest had KBJ exited in protest.” —Massachusetts

Re: Hillary Clinton Berates Team Trump in Stunning Display of Empathy

“Speaking of Christianity, even Jesus drove the money changers from the Temple, so there is a limit on what law enforcement should put up with.” —Tennessee

Re: Profiles of Valor: The Immortal Chaplains

“I was in Viet Nam from June 1967 to June 1968. My unit, the 187th Assault Helicopter Company, largely supported the Manchu Battalion of the 25th Infantry Division. What has stuck with me to today, and will probably always stick with me, was our Chaplain’s love and devotion to the soldiers in his Battalion. No matter where they were, and they got into some pretty nasty situations, he was there too.” —Virginia
