Re: The Jim Crow Democrats’ Grotesque Gambit
“Desperate people do desperate things, and so do political parties. The Democrats have absolutely nothing to offer except hate, violence, and race-baiting. I believe the majority of legal, commonsense voters in this country see right through this.” —Texas
“Not much worse than the Jimmy Carter boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. These athletes trained for years to get caught up in idiotic political messages. The Russian response was to boycott the 1984 LA Olympics. Great thinking. Here, scores of football players whose dreams of playing in the SEC are urged to play for teams other than who they want. Ignore the personal goals, comrade. Respect the Party decision.” —Texas
“Thank you for dismantling the party switch myth for the millionth time. This really shows that Democrats do not want a colorblind country but rather want us divided by race, creed, and faith. I have a great-aunt who is a diehard liberal and believes that Republicans and Democrats swapped interests after the Civil Rights Act. Again, thanks for showing that the Left is the one who displays fascist tendencies by censoring free speech, dividing people by race, and bullying/killing anyone who disagrees with them.” —Arkansas
Re: Massie Loses Big After Increasing Opposition to Trump
“I could live with Massie’s vote against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or working to get all the Epstein files released (that should have happened with appropriate redactions long before it did), or even opposing the war in Iran. What disqualified Massie for me was his opposition to Israel and any support for our best ally in the world. Genesis 12:3 says, ‘I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ This principle is reaffirmed repeatedly throughout the Bible. Massie forgot that principle, and it cost him his political career.” —South Carolina
Re: The Public Education Student Drain
“Another factor is the incest between the Democrat Party and the teachers unions. That drives a treadmill of ‘taxing the stuffing’ out of the population regardless of the enrollment levels, which in turn pushes both parents to work. When both parents work, they tend to ‘support’ public daycare.” —Idaho
Re: Scummy Weingarten’s Scammy Manifesto
“Let’s be honest. Weingarten and her liberal Democrat ilk are secular humanists, meaning they are hostile to anything based on a higher moral authority above themselves. To possess authority, they must possess a majority of like-minded adherents and bully everyone who disagrees with them. God-fearing Christians and conservatives are merely anti-reason and deserve to be relegated to lumps of worthless flesh unworthy of nothing more than domination or extermination (does this sound like fascism?). Far too many once-moral Americans have fallen for their worldview and have aligned their lives to the failure we are seeing in our homes, schools, communities, and churches today.” —North Carolina
Re: Virginia’s Anti-Gun Laws Under Fire
“Repeated attempts to abridge the right to keep and bear arms in ways the Supreme Court has multiple times noted are unconstitutional require something more than another loss in court. The mildest sanction would be requiring losing jurisdictions to compensate the plaintiffs for legal expenses. Perhaps the Department of Justice should promise charges for violating civil rights statutes against anyone attempting to enforce such illegal measures, up to and including governors.” —Minnesota
Re: Virginia, Sic Semper Tyrannis?
“The title of Alexander’s column was directed at Virginia, given Spanberger’s absurd redistricting plan, now thankfully put to rest by the courts. But in fact, our state motto, Sic Semper Tyrannis — ‘Thus always to Tyrants’ — was embraced by all colonies during the Revolutionary War, as it should be embraced by every Patriot today.” —Virginia
“I find it interesting that Trump has taken a page from the Demo playbook, and it goes nearly unnoticed. It is proven by the fact that you have more than one point to cover in your article! In the past, a Republican POTUS was one-dimensional. Whatever the media had against him was 24-7 coverage and opinion. A Democrat POTUS, however, jumped issues so fast that people struggled to even remember what they were mad about six months ago. Now, Trump has successfully turned this on them, and while they complain about one thing, he drives forward in an unexpected direction, giving the media whiplash as they scramble to catch up. He is running their playbook, but he is better at it and using it for a more righteous purpose than it’s ever been used before.” —Michigan
Re: What Really Makes America Great
“The several states and Congress must respect the limits of their own authority, and the limits of the other. States and local governments should refuse federal offers of funds for purposes not enumerated to Congress in the Constitution, let alone beg for them. Congress should not make such appropriations. Mis-funding with money drawn from taxpayers outside of the state warps policy, disguises the cost of government from its citizens, and invites profligacy and carelessness in the expenditure.” —Minnesota
Re: Brits March to Save Britain
“Britain, France, Germany, Scandinavia, and the rest of Europe are gone. People are destroying themselves while thinking how wonderful they are for being tolerant and inclusive. 9/11 taught us nothing.” —Minnesota
Re: The DEI Odyssey
“Yet another Hollywood production to ignore — just one among an endless list of movies not worth watching. To quote from a well-known song, ‘When will they ever learn?” —New York
Re: Profiles of Valor: SP5 Dwight W. Birdwell (USA)
“On Fridays, I read this column first! The stories of the heroism of ordinary people provide enough positivity so that I can cope with everything else. Great work. It is sad that a long delay in awarding the Medal of Honor can deny some recipients and/or family members the positive effects of receiving the award. But I cringe to think that a loosening of the scrutiny will result in quotas and agendas to be fulfilled. It is the action of the individual, not a category to which they can be assigned, that matters.” —New Hampshire
