Re: Nope, There Are Still No Kings

“Minnesota Democrats should look in the mirror if they’re having trouble making ends meet. It was their legislature that increased vehicle taxes by 22% (plus an extra $150 for electric vehicles and $75 for plug-in hybrids) in 2023. That was signed into law by Minnesota’s King Walz, noted for his tyrannical shutdown of the state’s churches, schools, and most small businesses during 2020-2021, and for ignoring state laws requiring a modicum of accountability in state agencies.” —Minnesota

“The ‘No Kings’ lunatics dressing up as all manner of creatures would be better served spending time with the true king, Jesus Christ, rather than wasting time on yet another protest that will accomplish absolutely nothing.” —West Virginia

Re: VP Vance Calls Out Omar’s Immigration Fraud

“I’m all for deportation, but I think a $30 million fine and five years in the penitentiary would be in order also. Simple deportation would relieve us of Ilhan Omar’s presence, but there would be no retribution, no punishment, and the Minnesota electorate would just elect someone as equally crooked.” —Tennessee

Re: Save the SAVE Act Narrative

“Strictly speaking, an amendment prohibiting fees for an ID required for voting is unnecessary; it would be sufficient for the Department of Justice to warn states that such a fee would be an illegal poll tax. Blue states would be the primary targets since they tend to value revenue from fees more than the rights of their people. If making that explicit in the SAVE Act would simplify passage, do it. The chance to embarrass blue-state governments is not worth losing the bill.” —Minnesota

Re: Why Trump Said What He Said

“I like Trump for telling the truth. Mueller was used by the Dems to attack and lie about Trump. For that, Trump was fully justified in castigating the man. Mueller chose to end his career the way he did. Mueller’s advisers could have convinced him to do otherwise. The whole lot of them are trash, and we finally have a sitting president who told the truth.” —Montana

Re: Leftist Comedian Uses Beloved Widow for Cruel Fodder

“Emmy, another ‘Well done!’ This ‘comedian’ is beyond repulsive, disgusting, uncouth, and cruel. I have never heard of him and will avoid any patronage or appearance of support for his ‘work.’ God bless you for wading into the cesspool to afford your followers a glimpse of the filth and selfishness of one of our fellow creatures on this earth who are definitely not worth the air that they breathe. Thank you.” —Hawaii

Re: Why Washington Believed Religion Was Essential to the Republic

“Let’s get something straight. George Washington and the founding fathers were not supporting the need for ‘religion’ (that is a modern perversion); they were acknowledging the fact that biblically based beliefs formed the cornerstone of our Democratic Republic. The institution of checks and balances in our government was an acknowledgment of the fact that the Bible makes clear that the heart of man is evil, and mankind needs constraints, or else wicked dictatorships will arise. Baal worshipers and Satanists are ‘religious.’ So, the founding fathers did not institute religious liberty for religion’s sake, but for the freedom to worship the Lord Jesus Christ without interference by the government.” —Arizona

“Diversity in religion then meant that Baptists, Anglicans, and Presbyterians would all get along here. It did not mean that all religions are equal, and none is to be preferred over another. They wanted the Bible as a principal textbook in all the public schools. They would not want the Quran as the basis of our morality.” —Illinois

Re: The Dems’ Fake Diversity

“Republicans better be ready to hurl back the crap the Democrats have been slinging lately. The people need to be reminded of all the things the liberals have said and done over the past 10 years or so.” —Washington

Re: What Is Trump’s Iran Plan?

“Thomas, what a great article. I wish all Americans, those that have a brain, would read this great job of explaining the inner workings of oil, the U.S., China, Venezuela, Iran, Russia, and what used to be our European allies that would not have a single liberty without the sacrifices of Americans’ lives in WWII. Thank God for Donald Trump, as he is no bumpkin and has the heart and will to save America! Pray for America and our current leadership.” —West Virginia
