“I laugh whenever leftists, especially Democrat women, talk because they are so uninformed. Perhaps one of their dumbest claims is that Iranian women are no more oppressed than American women. Most Americans do not know what oppression is.” —Wisconsin
“Unfortunately, the consequences of ‘feminists for Iran’ go beyond some silly women making fools of themselves. The Iranian regime’s best hope is that President Trump will pull U.S. forces out under domestic pressure while Tehran still retains sufficient military power to intimidate its own people and neighbors. These leftist women and equally unhinged leftist men only encourage the Iranian dictatorship to hang on and prolong the destruction, suffering, and death.” —Minnesota
“Chavez was also instrumental in mechanizing crop harvests. Potatoes were once a heavy, high-manual labor crop that would have been severely damaged by his activism. Some brilliant farmers developed machinery to harvest potatoes using less than 5-10% of the labor required, eliminating many migrant workers. Ironically, migrant workers were paid quite well until the government stepped in with a flat minimum wage.” —Michigan
“Reconstruction of the Cuban economy will require careful private investment to avoid overextending the Cuban people with debt. The island probably needs 10-15 gigawatts of new electrical-generating capacity, with nuclear reactors being the cleanest and probably most economical option given the necessity to import fuel and limited land available for ‘green’ sources. The antiquated Soviet-made electrical grid needs rebuilding as well. The agricultural industry would benefit from new equipment, and tourists will want better infrastructure and cleaned-up cities. But let’s not neglect Puerto Rico, which has similar problems after decades of Democrat governance.” —Minnesota
Re: Hochul’s FAFO on High Taxes
“It is a mystery why people continue to vote against their own self-interest. If they truly believe that former bartenders and social workers are more adept at managing their future with overreaching tax programs, then they are always going to look surprised when they are taxed out of existence. Only a full disclosure of each tax dollar spent will reveal the theft that is an element of political graft.” —Washington
“Democrats are all over Trump, blaming him for the rising price of fuel due to the partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran. Republicans need to remind everyone that even though fuel prices have been temporarily raised thanks to Iran, prices are still lower than they were during the Biden administration. Where were the Democrat screams then? Maybe Governor Hochul should reduce taxes on gasoline like New York did in 2022 when Biden was in office.” —South Carolina
“It occurred to me as I was listening to a radio station in NYC that when the SAVE Act is passed, there may not be as much, or maybe even any, interest from the Dems to spend money on the nonvoters. Certainly not the aliens who are there illegally.” —Ontario, Canada
Re: Nick Shirley Exposes More California Fraud
“When you consider the scale of fraud perpetrated on the American taxpayer, you would expect a more robust response. Failure to at least acknowledge the problem, let alone fix it, suggests a complicit attitude that would be grounds for dismissal in any real job. It is past time for these elected thieves to be held accountable and for the people to review the use of impeachment laws.” —Washington
Re: It’s About Time for the President’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud
“This is really going to make the Democrats mad! They have profited from these programs that they started many years ago. They are not alone in this, either, because many Republicans have gotten in on the fraud as well. I am so glad to know that this is going to be cleaned up; maybe then the programs can actually help those who need them. Too many politicians and bureaucrats have enriched themselves by stealing from the American taxpayer. Thank you, President Trump, VP Vance, and Nick Shirley!” —Alabama
Re: Fox, WSJ, and NYP — Get Out of the NYC Sewer!
“I agree that Fox and WSJ should get out of the NYC sewer as it inevitably seeps into their content. WSJ can cover business developments from anywhere in the country, and the New York Post is about a lot more than New York. There are now cascading failures under Mamdani, and a lot of buyer remorse. Will anyone learn anything?” —New York
“I follow Fox News because it covers a wide array of news, but for essential political news, I read The Patriot Post every day and would be seriously uniformed if I didn’t. Thanks to the Patriot Post team for all you do to keep us informed.” —Connecticut
