Re: EPA Upends the Endangerment Finding
“On the international scale, the greenhouse gas scare is being used by elitists to push global socialism. The World Economic Forum and its media puppets have for decades proclaimed that taking wealth from the rich countries (primarily the U.S., of course) and giving it to the corrupt governments of poor countries will, according to The Science™, save the planet. This transfer, naturally, would be controlled by the WEF. It isn’t environmentalism driving this scheme; it’s money and power.” —Minnesota
“Actually, the eco-nuts have done more damage to the ecosystem by endangering birds and animals. How many birds, bats, and other animals big and small have been killed by this stupidity? Where are all the groups that protect wildlife? Also, by not cleaning the forests of dead wood and other materials, more wildfires have destroyed more homes and natural land. The eco-nuts are destroying nature’s balance.” —Wisconsin
“In reality, more CO2 means a greener planet, as plants need CO2 to conduct photosynthesis (grow more green and make more oxygen).” —Florida
Re: America’s Housing Crisis Has a Marriage Problem
“The benefits of marriage for homeownership go beyond the financial considerations. A married couple can share the work as well — cleaning, maintenance, repairs, and upgrades are considerably more efficient when the labor is a team effort. Some may say they can get the same benefits with unmarried cohabitation. Maybe, but marriage is a commitment that makes all of the sharing more secure, particularly when the finances are handled jointly and properly budgeted.” —Minnesota
Re: Peggy Noonan’s Misguided ‘Lament for the Washington Post’
“Thanks for this most eloquent rebuttal to Ms. Noonan’s nice, I guess, but very much misguided, execrable column, which I read in the WSJ. Noonan is just one more erstwhile conservative who has become unraveled by Mr. Trump. She wrote this screed — just one more in a long thread of similar ones — to please the progressives who run the media show. I don’t believe she actually believes what she wrote and continues to write. She is just giving voice to her superiors, who hope we little people will be swayed toward her and their thinking.” —Georgia
Re: Judge Greenlights Demo Sedition
“How is it that a civilian judge has any say in UCMJ? Every service member understands that when they sign up for military service, they forego many of their rights, not just while in active service, but for their lifetime. This is another attempt by an activist judge interjecting where they don’t belong.” —Ohio
“The bigger issue here is that a federal judge believed he had the right to rule in a military matter. Mark Kelly is a retired Navy officer and still subject to UCMJ action. How does a federal judge have jurisdiction over the military? Or does the Trump presidency mean any non-Trump supporter can run to the federal bench to get their way?” —Colorado
Re: Missing Migrant Minors Found in Minnesota
“It is well past time for Trump to sue the hijab off of Ilhan Omar. She keeps referring to him as a pedophile, which she cannot prove. This is slander, pure and simple. She needs to be held accountable for this unfounded charge.” —New Jersey
Re: Climate Conjecture and Rising Insurance Premiums
“The insurance industry has exploited the coastal properties because of the federal flood insurance program. They take the adverse loss experience these properties generate along the coast and charge people in the interior portions of the country much higher premiums because of those losses. Since their profits are based off policy premiums, it only makes sense for them to drive up the premiums by whatever means necessary.” —Alabama
“When Pelosi ripped up the government document on TV, she should have been hauled off the stage in handcuffs as a signal that no one is above the law. Instead, we witnessed that some people are not accountable for their actions no matter how ignorant or illegal. Still waiting for the law to apply to special people. Failure to act reflects poorly on the entire system of government that we endorse.” —Washington
“As a Pelosi constituent, let me just affirm that this is a brilliant move — just what I would expect from the team at The Patriot Post!” —California
“I watched Trump’s SOTU and saw Pelosi tear up the documents in front of the entire nation and the world. All I can say is that, because she is so rich and powerful, she must have thought she had no chance of being charged with anything criminal. Go after her, Alexander!” —Arizona
“Your effort to refile the complaint against Pelosi is very much appreciated and respected.” —Michigan
Re: Profiles of Valor: CAPT Williams and SSG Ollis
“Thank you to Alexander and the team at The Patriot Post for including good news among your analysis, especially the weekly Profile of Valor tributes to American heroes!” —Oklahoma
