Re: Trump Nukes the Wackadoo Right

“Excellent piece. I have no doubt that while these four probably do have some issues with the president, they have gone full TDS to get more followers, garner more clicks, and make more money. I had enough of Tucker Carlson during his last year at Fox News with his laughing and condescending ways during interviews; so arrogant and cocky! Nate, I completely agree with you, as I do not follow influencers. I reach for the facts and the truth without any crazies putting their own spin on the subject. Keep up the great work.” —Colorado

“My personal preference would be for POTUS to ignore these nut jobs, but that is not his style. I believe these influencers are either evil or blinded by the attraction for fame and money. I suppose they would prefer someone like Clueless Joe Biden, who would lead us right into the arms of evil.” —Texas

Re: Zarutska’s Murderer Deemed Incompetent, Lawyer Seeks Delay

“This is disgusting. Why is the Left so obsessed with virtue signaling in an attempt to give mercy to people who have none? We need to get rid of all the judges, lawyers, and prosecutors who think being soft on murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and traffickers will make them better people. Eighteenth-century economist Adam Smith said, ‘Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.’ We need to stop showing mercy to evil people and start showing it to good people.” —Arkansas

“If he was off his meds, he did it knowingly. Whatever he did as a result should leave him liable, and there should be no finding of incompetence, since he in all likelihood made the choice not to take his medication.” —Texas

“At minimum, if this person is deemed incompetent to stand trial, then he should be institutionalized until he is deemed capable of standing trial. No way should he be released again!” —South Carolina

Re: Major Buyer’s Remorse in Purple Virginia

“All I can say is: Too freaking bad. We tried to warn Virginians, but they wouldn’t listen, just like the morons in New York City. So deal with it. The sad thing is that Governor Spanberger may very well destroy the state. Voters should never elect a Democrat to any position. Why can’t they figure that out?” —Pennsylvania

“I don’t understand why no one talks about recall elections anymore. These are the right ways for voters to correct their mistakes and properly deal with politicians lying to get elected or otherwise not properly representing their constituency. If nothing else, a fully signed petition should put some well-deserved fear into them.” —Michigan

“Virginia’s ‘buyer’s remorse’ has more to do with the state legislature than Spanberger herself. While she may be at the top of the manure pile, the stench starts with the rot at the bottom. Unless there was wholesale voter fraud or extremely poor Republican turnout on election day, the people of Virginia are getting exactly what they voted for.” —Kentucky

Re: Are Demo Voters as Crazy as Their Party Leaders?

“The MSM should stop calling what the Democrats widely support ‘socialism.’ It is communism! I think the media polling results would be even more pronounced if they accurately described what the so-called ‘leaders’ of the Democrat Party are really advocating.” —South Carolina

Re: Finally, Overdose Deaths Are Going Down

“Supply-side measures attacking producers and distributors of illegal drugs are showing results now that they are being more rigorously implemented, but the decades-long growth in drug overdoses tracks with the similar near-legalization of the demand side of the equation. Clean needles and even locations set aside for shooting up are routinely provided by many blue cities, facilitating and tacitly endorsing what remains an ILLEGAL activity. No addict expects to overdose, but when that possibility is in their eyes the sole danger, there is little else to dissuade them.” —Georgia

Re: The Fenway Culture

“Not too long ago, I had an occasion to travel to Boston on a Sunday. It was a beautiful sunny day, and my destination took me close to a church. The streets were full of churchgoers dressed beautifully and appropriately for the service. And they were all black. They could have been any color, and they reminded me of growing up and walking to church with my family in my Sunday best. My younger self shared that moment with them. We were all the same, and I deeply resent what the ‘progressives’ agenda is — the destruction of our Republic.” —New Hampshire

Re: A Tale of Two Popes

“Just as modern leftists express their individuality by mindlessly following their rabid mobs and parroting whatever talking point is in current vogue, several popes of the last few decades have evidently felt that showing leadership requires them to rethink or even reject time-honored doctrines and traditions that have been centuries in the making. John Paul II showed that leadership is also demonstrated by resisting such worldly pressures to adapt and distort the church to conform to the modern culture. Though I am not Catholic, I miss him greatly.” —Georgia

Re: Even Faith Is Bigger in Space

“Psalm 19 portrays the power and glory of our amazing Creator beautifully. He also puts forth in His word the fate of those who would be foolish enough to rail against these truths: ‘For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile, and their foolish hearts were darkened’ (Romans 1:20-21). Many foolish hearts dwell in darkness. Pray for the salvation of the lost. His appearing draws nigh.” —North Carolina
