Re: Texas Has a Muslim Problem

“I live in Richardson, Texas — one of the oldest suburbs of Dallas. We recently elected a Muslim mayor, and even more recently, a Muslim college was approved and opened in East Richardson. Where were you, Governor Abbott, when this happened on your watch? I’ve lived in this ideal community since 1980, and for the first time, I’m considering relocating. This should NOT be happening in our community or in the state of Texas. Appalling!” —Texas

“My family and I are all generational Texans. We see the threat and are taking steps to fight this enemy from within. The first step is to win local elections: mayors, city councils, and school boards. Then state and national ones. Expose the enemy for what they are and don’t play nice. Radical Islamists intend to take over, not live in harmony with us. They are the enemy. Texans are strong and determined people. We will fight and win.” —Texas

“KSM said Islam will destroy America and use our Constitution and Rule of Law to do so. We’ve lost Michigan, Minnesota, and New York City so far. Europe is gone forever. One day, people will look back and wonder how it happened. We did it to ourselves.” —Minnesota

“I pray for Texas and for every other state facing these challenges. I also pray for Europe and our relationship with it as a foundation for our way of life. There are plenty of other places for the Muslim religion — just not in Western civilization!” —Colorado

Re: Barack Obama, Master Gaslighter

“Richard Nixon was the first Republican to be called Hitler and a Nazi. A complicit media acting just like Goebbels and Pravda have allowed the Democrats to get away with their lies. Why hasn’t anyone asked the media to explain how they differ from Goebbels and Pravda? Gutless Republicans have contributed to the problem as well.” —Minnesota

“Barack Obama was a tiresome, pathetic, ineffective POTUS, and he has only gotten worse during what should have been his retirement from public life. His un-American ideas and life story were not what got him elected to public office; it was emotional excitement stirred by supporters. His political story could have been much more productive for American citizens, but that was neither his nor his party’s intention. Just another stain upon the ongoing legacy of the presidency.” —California

“Wow. Did a quick search. The Obamas have a net worth of $70M. Do us all a favor: Go buy an island and take the little lady with you … and just disappear. We would all be a most grateful nation.” —North Carolina

Re: That Rocky Mountain High-Capacity Magazine, AR Ban

“The federal lawsuit against Denver will have little effect unless it includes high financial penalties, including refunding any settled fines and legal fees against the gun owners who have already been punished by the city ordinance.” —Florida

“Maybe there wouldn’t be any concern about firearm capacity if the criminal element was dissuaded from using firearms to commit crimes. How about we make that part illegal? Oh, that’s right: it’s already illegal to use a firearm to commit crime. Silly me! Keep Colorado safe and allow the citizenry to utilize semiautomatic firearms to protect and defend. Then, maybe we can outlaw those who would strip us of our constitutional rights.” —Texas

Re: Palisades Fire: Arson or Climate Change?

“The three real causes of the Pacific Palisades fire tragedy: The criminal who lit the original fire; the legislature that promoted the ideal conditions by not allowing controlled burns and prohibiting green buffer zones around housing; and the Democrat mayor who underfunded the fire department to the point it didn’t have the resources to fight the catastrophic blaze.” —Florida

“The Palisades blaze was not the only fire started by an arsonist, then blamed on ‘climate change.’ Many of the wildfires on the Left Coast states and some in Australia were found to have been deliberately set specifically to feed the narrative of climate change. Even though many of the arsonists were caught and convicted, the Leftmedia still falls for the scam and points to those fires as ‘evidence’ of the need for governments to impose carbon taxes and other ‘planet-saving’ restrictions.” —Minnesota

Re: Vance Targets a ‘Blatant Waste’ of Taxpayer Money in Ohio

“Mike DeWine, in concert with the Demo nominee for governor, shut down thousands of businesses during the COVID pandemic. He is the poster child for why term limits do not work. He has opposed Trump in support of the Somalis in the state. So, why is there any surprise regarding rampant fraud in Ohio? In light of that, I believe legal fraud is occurring regularly. I am constantly being called by various home healthcare companies claiming to be affiliates of my Medicare Advantage insurance company, asking to come to my home for a no-cost, in-home assessment. When I refuse, they become very insistent, reiterating that it is a no-cost benefit to me.” —Ohio

Re: Gender-Confused Smith College Probed

“If these women in these ‘liberal’ schools continue with this bizarre, nonsensical behavior, we may have to revisit the question of voting rights.” —South Carolina
