Re: Father’s Day Lessons From a Third-Grade Dropout

“What a great assessment of fatherhood, and Rick Rigsby’s tribute to his dad was outstanding. If only ever child in America had a dad that wise!” —Ohio

“Rigsby was a powerhouse at A&M University! And Alexander’s column makes it clear why!” —Texas

“This was both informative and uplifting. And the note from Billy Graham, ‘Continue to fight the good fight’ — amen!” —Florida

“I appreciated the good news about marriage and declining divorces in this column, but was shocked to read that 70% of divorces are now filed by women. The discontent factor is high, and a lot of that is cultural.” —New Hampshire

“As a former fighter pilot, reading Alexander’s linked tribute to his fighter pilot dad was inspiring. Indeed, let’s make fatherhood great again!” —Massachusetts

Re: Jill Biden’s Memoir Is a Vain Rewrite

“Decades ago, I would see an occasional puff piece in which prestigious historians would rank the previous presidents. Painfully, Franklin Pierce, from my home state, would always be the worst. He had earned the title of worst POTUS. But then the little bundle of naïveté, delusion, and ineptitude, Jimmy Carter, came along, and I knew Pierce was no longer the cellar dweller. In time, when politicians, journalists, influencers, et al. have moved on, serious historians will roast Joe Biden. Pierce held the title for over a century, Carter for a mere half-century. But if the country can survive the damage of Biden, he may anchor the list forever.” —New Hampshire

“One reason Kamala Harris failed in her bid for the presidency is that, along with Mrs. Biden, she participated in the attempt to conceal Mr. Biden’s decline. Voters who noticed had much to question. Can we trust someone who openly lies about such a serious matter? Why did she not invoke the 25th Amendment? Was she too slow on the uptake to realize the necessity of doing so, or was she somehow associated with people taking advantage of President Autopen for their own purposes?” —Minnesota

Re: African-American Becomes First Trillionaire, Leftists Panic

“Whenever ‘the richest 1% pay nearly half of federal income taxes’ is cited, one should also cite that those same people only earn about 25% of the personal income.” —Florida

“Elon Musk earned his money the old-fashioned way. He came up with products people were willing to buy. Bernie Sanders, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and other Democrats got their money the way all communist tyrants do — they stole it from We the People. Why has no one asked Fauxcahontas how much profit she took when flipping houses?” —Minnesota

Re: Can Iran Be Trusted?

“Remember, the Iranian media and other leaders are claiming victory for Iran, further claiming that it was Tehran that forced the U.S. to accept the peace deal. In general, we do not understand the Muslim mindset, and as long as the current regime remains in charge, there will be no lasting peace, as has been proven time and again.” —Ohio

Re: The Ridiculous Reflecting Pool Hubbub

“Of course the Democrats are going to whine and cry about it. I’m reminded of a joke, but not really a joke, about how Democrats work: Three companies go to a company to bid on a contract to fix a fence. The first one gave an estimate of $3,000. The second gave an estimate of $4,000. The third gave an estimate of $13,000. When the latter was asked why its estimate was so much higher than the other two, the representative said, ‘We subcontract the job to the first company for $3,000 to do the work. The remaining $10,000 is $5,000 for me and $5,000 for you.’ This is how our government works, just on a much grander scale!” —Illinois

Re: A Demonic Horror Scene in Northern Ireland

“Thank God Donald Trump is now our president and put a stop to our illegal immigration problem, at least for now. What Ms. Griffin describes is happening in the UK was our fate under the Biden administration and will be under future Democrat (a.k.a. Marxist) administrations.” —Colorado

Re: Who Actually Cares About Migrant Kids?

“Kudos to Ms. Rachel for caring about the unfortunate children. Question: How many has she personally placed with ‘responsible’ foster families? How many has she found and returned to their families? Has she tried to foster/adopt any of these kids? Does her husband fully support this?” —Texas

Re: Jesse and Ashley Ridgway Feign Compassion for Tragic Choice

“I was blessed to work with Down syndrome kids and adults for years. There is no guile in them. What you see is what you get. Watching these folks in races is a wonder. In one particular race, a young man fell down, every runner stopped running and went to him, and they all carried him to the finish line. I cried. Too many denigrate them as ‘non-functioning’ — what a lie. Would that so-called ‘intelligent’ people had the love and compassion Down syndrome people have. I never knew what a hug was growing up until I met these folks. Sadly, many of them don’t live long, but what life they do have is beautiful and unselfish.” —Colorado

Re: Clueless

“Well put! I’m afraid most so-called Christians are lukewarm at best. To read and study the inspired word of God on a regular basis is rare for the majority. You mentioned the instruction guide. Like a father to his loving child, our Heavenly Father is to us, giving instructions to heed. Thank you for your article.” —New Mexico
