“I don’t know where the idea of ‘too big to fail’ was hatched, but there is no such thing in reality or in the Constitution.”

Re: The Endemic Threat of the Leftist Hate Machine

“To quote author David McCullough, exiting from a lecture given to a class of college students: ‘They are historical illiterates.’ You cannot erase the Founders, the literature of DeToqueville, ‘The Road to Serfdom’ by Hayek, and the words of President Coolidge in July 1926 about the Declaration: ‘If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.’ We cannot allow this vituperative ignorance to stand.” —Massachusetts

“This is an excellent buildout on the Democrats’ strategy to invoke anger and hatred. And yes, it is dangerous. Regarding TDS, Trump did not create the hate; he revealed it.” —California

“If the mainstream media (as summarized in the picture accompanying your article) would report the news honestly and confine their opinions to the editorial page, much of this would cool down. A senator can call Trump a rapist and a pedophile, and the MSM will quote him/her without comment. Disgraceful.” —New Hampshire

“I can think of only one thing that would result in widespread conservative political violence, and that is if the Left gains power through questionable elections. The SAVE Act is critical to the future of our nation.” —Missouri

“I didn’t realize that Rep. Jasmine Crockett actually rises to that level of intelligence! Apparently, the media isn’t fulfilling their responsibility to keep voters informed.” —New York

Re: The Wages of a Regressive Society Are Children’s Rights

“So true. This subject has bothered me for a long time. I agree wholeheartedly. When I see some gay man on TV showing off ‘his’ baby, it makes me sick. I always think, ‘Does this child ever know who his mother is?’ I see these men as very selfish people. No thoughts about the child at all. There are many children who are waiting to be adopted into a good home. If these gay men and women really care about children, adoption would be a good way to prove it. To me their way is just an ego trip.” —Wisconsin

“Thank you, Emmy, for this article. That video shows what man cannot remove from a baby — the inherent rights of a mother (female) who bore the child. It’s cruel, shameful, and disgusting to see how that deranged man treat that young baby. My heart as a mother aches — I lost two through miscarriages in the third trimester, then the second trimester. May God have mercy on America.” —California

“God bless, Emmy. This article is short enough for those short on concentration but deep enough to inform the reading world about the real rights of children. The Book of Revelation provides that the end times will be worse than Sodom and Gomorrah, and it is.” —Texas

Re: Another Day, Another Assassination Attempt

“I have to agree — no assailant should have been able to get that far. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I gotta wonder if he had some inside help. Methinks the president still has some swamp draining to do.” —Illinois

Re: Senate Republicans Try to Melt the ICE Shutdown

“There’s no other way to put this: Democrats want Americans — and by extension America — to die. Their political stance is tantamount to a declaration of war on America. The Democrat Party has become the party of communists, political terrorists, and anarchists. The GOP slogan for the upcoming primaries and the next general election should be, ‘We’ll give them a war you won’t believe.’” —Kentucky

Re: The Troubling Spirit (Airlines) of Big Government

“I defy any and everyone supporting this largesse to cite the authority for it in the U.S. Constitution. Failing that, as you all will, read the 10th Amendment. Before you ask, yes, I did request this same citation before taxpayers were forced to bail out General Motors, Chrysler, Solyndra, and all the other beneficiaries of government largesse. I don’t know where the idea of ‘too big to fail’ was hatched, but there is no such thing in reality or in the Constitution.” —Michigan

Re: Rule, Britannia, No More

“Between 1949 and 2023, the U.S. government spent $21.9 trillion on NATO. That was to protect Europe. European countries then reduced their militaries, and the trillions they saved was put into social programs. Leftists in America say they want the social system Europe has. They complain about how much the U.S. spends on the military compared to everyone else. But they ignore that we are protecting those other nations, and they are not protecting themselves.” —Florida

Re: When AI Comes for Work

“Just look at the increasing number of lawyers alone who get raked over the coals in court because they relied on AI to write their briefings that end up full of errors and citing nonexistent case law. There’s no value in something that ‘replaces humans’ but requires a human to go back and verify its work.” —Tennessee
