Re: Will the Gender Cult Implode?

“Psychiatric medications are almost a universal denominator for cases of mass shootings. Almost certainly these killers are on or were on these drugs.” —Utah

“When examining the ‘trans’ phenomena, what is needed is a deeper dive into the science. Even science that may not have been fully explored or exposed yet, particularly the Rx component. It would be an interesting exercise to examine the drugs being administered as an integral component of transitioning. In addition to hormones (estrogen/testosterone), anti-androgens, and puberty blockers, what else? Who knows how injecting an otherwise healthy young man with high doses of estrogen might impact his mental state. So let’s add antidepressants and mood drugs to suppress his anxiety, fear, regret, and doubt. Could combinations of these chemicals even lead to anger or rage?” —North Carolina

“Thank you for a clear and comprehensive analysis of the ‘trans’ ideology and agenda. I often find it difficult to know where to start in advocacy to counter this lunacy. As always, a great expression of a serious issue in our ‘national conversation,’ and a great springboard I can use to counter the chronic emotional incontinence on the Left.” —Texas

“The Democrats are always defining deviance down.” —Tennessee

Re: A Hopeful Transgender Malpractice Lawsuit in Texas

“Perhaps legal remedies for these victims will finally blow the lid off the insidious nature of the trans-medical complex. Profiting off innocent young men and women, oftentimes to their ruinous detriment, is beyond despicable — it’s demonic! Money has always driven people to do awful things, and the Bible gives a strong admonition to support this: ‘For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.’ (1 Timothy 6:10) Yes, many have wandered away and many have been pierced in anguish. Pray these legal challenges will put an end to this evil practice once and for all.” —North Carolina

“Are there others, besides myself, who think that the acronym for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS: a group of venomous snakes) is more than appropriate? Has anyone asked this group how many of their own children have undergone this licensed butchery?” —Texas

“Liberal ‘bleeding heart’ parents play an active role in preteen gender dysphoria as well by not explaining that boys and girls are NOT interchangeable. One’s DNA, established at conception, is not reversible. You are what you are — get over it and deal with it.” —Ohio

Re: Andy Beshear’s Gender-Bending Defense Is Heresy

“Well, Andy, it appears that you and many of your fellow reprobates on the Left are broadcasting more and more a newly found interest in the Bible and God. But know this: To accurately relay the truths in God’s word, I will remind you of Acts 20:27, which says, ‘For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.’ Accordingly, I have found a scripture that you might ponder and embrace — as your own: ‘You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.’ (John 8:44) I invite your comments.” —North Carolina

Re: Duffy Gets Rid of Deadly DEI

“It’s about time. I was a Navy P-3 Plane Commander more than 50 years ago. I’ve seen too many descriptions of plane crashes due to pilots being unprepared when the automation stops working correctly. Top of the list for me were the 737 Max crashes. I’ve always thought the pilots should have pulled a circuit breaker and flown the airplane. If they can’t fly the plane when every bit of automation quits, why are they on the plane? Accept the fact you are on a passenger drone.” —Colorado

“I was a controller from the mid-1970s until our strike in ‘81. Despite a 98 on the entrance exam, it took me over six months to get hired due to 'quotas,’ as I was told in a letter from the acting FAA administrator at the time. As an active controller later on, I was required to train the equivalent of a DEI hire. She could hardly speak English on an understandable level, let alone think in three-dimensional airspace. I refused to sign off on her training.” —Florida

“My brother was a Marine F-4 pilot. He knew some of the instructors that had flown with her, and they each told him that any male making the same number of mistakes as she did would have been shown the door without their wings. I watched the video of her crash, and with the left engine out, she applied power at the direction of the LSO: ‘Power! Power! Power!’ That caused her Tomcat to do what is called a sideslip departure (i.e., it departed controlled flight). The excessive yaw from one engine being dead and going to full power on the other caused the wing on the side of that dead engine to lose lift, which led to the fatal roll into the dead engine. She could have controlled the yaw with her rudder.” —Georgia

Re: Thune Promises a SAVE Vote

“Forcing the Democrats to filibuster and spend hours trying to defend the indefensible would be fine. But remember that the Democrats have already said that they will nuke the filibuster if they ever regain power, so why wait? Let’s have a simple majority vote to start passing laws to codify Trump’s executive orders. Otherwise, they will simply be erased if a Democrat ever becomes president again. Pass the SAVE Act by whatever means necessary and start doing your jobs to back Trump and the agenda that we elected him to do.” —Georgia

Re: Rubio Talks Europe Off the Ledge

“We need more Rubios to continue our conservative path forward and keep the momentum — mainly to overcome the liberal policies of Clinton, Obama, and Biden and to rid the world of the globalism that some rich elites think will solve all the world’s problems. They are the problem. Reagan started the solution, but Clinton, Obama, and Biden changed course and truly brought despair to the world. Rubio’s vision presently is the best one out there.” —Washington

Re: CBS Plays Semantics Game on ICE Arrests

“Thomas, thank you for bringing forward the truth on what ICE is really doing. I often think if some of the critics would picture their brother or sister or parent killed by a DWI or an illegal, they might have a different opinion. Illegal means illegal. Enforce the law.” —Florida

Re: The United States, the Philippines, and the Defense of Taiwan

“Having lived in two provinces over a 10-year period, I can confirm that China’s actions are much concerning. Despite occasional strains that take place with the U.S. over minor issues, the threat from China and homegrown Maoists and Islamists is real and serious. It is an absolute necessity to keep this longtime alliance strong enough to meet the challenges.” —Kentucky
