Re: Mr. President, Get Iran Right!

“Well, General Bell, it seems President Trump got your memo!” —New York

“Sir Winston Churchill warned against the ‘Mahdi,’ or Mohammedans, in 1898. That year, he was a British 21st Lancer and fought the Mahdi in the battle of Omdurman in the Sudan, led by General Kitchener. Churchill memorialized this battle in his book The River War. 'The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property — either as a child, a wife, or a concubine — must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.‘ We are still fighting Churchill’s war.” —Massachusetts

“Wonder if the dance Trump has been doing with Iran over the last 10 weeks was in part to buy time to resupply our munitions, which we exhausted rapidly dealing with Iranian drones and other threats.” —North Carolina

“We need to tell Iranian negotiators that if they don’t keep their end of the bargain, we’ll be talking with different negotiators next week. If you want to live, keep your word.” —Georgia

“To those of us in the West, Iran is incomprehensible! Our president is ultimately seeking the elimination of the present ruling theocracy. Having lived and worked in the Middle East for many years, the present strategy is an excellent method for achieving the best result. Crazy and stupid cannot be cured, only eliminated!” —New Mexico

Re: Harris Eyes 2028, Solicits Socialism

“That Kamala Harris is being considered at all as the Democrat 2028 presidential nominee, let alone the front runner by some, is evidence of the extent of delusion and dysfunction in the Party. Harris’s lackluster performance and behavior as Joe Biden’s vice president and continued inability to effectively communicate on any topic reveals that she is profoundly unfit to assume the duties and responsibilities of our nation’s highest office.” —Florida

“It’s really something to watch history repeat itself. Harris’s attempt to court a tiny sliver of the voting public is very reminiscent of George McGovern’s campaign 54 years ago — and he couldn’t even win his home state, just like Harris couldn’t win her home state when she actually had to run in a primary in 2020.” —Florida

'People who approve of Harris and Mandani should move to New York City, southern California or Oregon/Washington and live there for three years before they ever vote. Living under these socialist enclaves will cure them of forever wanting that for themselves — or others!“ —North Carolina

Re: America’s DNA: Pride, Patriotism, and Coming Together

"I agree, 'There are more of us than of the enemy.’ But they are not focused on the millions; they are focused on the 435 representatives and 100 senators. They are already causing chaos in both chambers with bogus bills, calls for impeachment, obstructing legislation, and using the power of the microphone to assassinate individuals’ character through false accusations. Citizens — the ‘more of us’ — need to get involved. We can’t change who we don’t vote for, but we have a responsibility to elect the best leaders to represent us.” —California

Re: The Supreme Court Reiterates That Money Is Speech

“If I recall correctly, it was the then-considered ultra-liberal Warren Court that first put forth the notion that the actions of giving and spending money in political campaigns are both forms of speech. IMO, the Founding Fathers would have been aghast at such a notion, since they correctly considered money in politics to be a corrupting influence.” —California

Re: Democrats Bored by Angel Families

“This is just more proof that the Democrats (a.k.a. Marxists) care more about their agenda than they do the American people. No surprise that Jayapal articulated it.” —Colorado

“She needs to be reminded who she works for by not being reelected. People are tired of the same old politicians, regardless of the party, doing the same old thing and want change. Having political leaders who put illegals over Americans is wrong, and they need to be weeded out.” —Georgia

“It is a challenge to determine whether Jayapal or Raskin is the greater threat to the Republic. Their being on the same committee explains one of the many things wrong with Washington.” —North Carolina

Re: SCOTUS Put Birthright Citizenship Beyond Congress’s Reach

“The Supreme Court may have tied the hands of Congress on who can be considered a citizen of the U.S., but it did not limit immigration control. There are a few things that can greatly limit those born here from getting citizenship, including preventing anyone who is nearing childbirth from entering the country. If you are anywhere past the sixth month of pregnancy, guess what? Turn around and go home. We may not be able to limit those already here from having anchor babies, but we can prevent third-trimester pregnant women from entering the country to begin with. It just means keeping the border secure!” —Illinois

“Article 5 is called for. Too many foreign and native anti-Americans refuse to assimilate under our Constitution. Otherwise, the simmering pot of those fearing identity loss will eventually boil over.” —Louisiana

Re: What’s Next for Birthright Citizenship?

“I think it is a shame that common sense is lost to fools that cannot see beyond their noses. People who have no allegiance to our country should not be considered citizens. If it were up to me, if you do not support our country, you should lose your citizenship until you come to your senses.” —Illinois

Re: What Is America? Trump and Mamdani Disagree

“Obama erased our border for the first time, allowing millions of unknowns, drug dealers, murderers, and thugs from all over the world to flood across our border. A change came across this once-strong Constitutional Republic. There’s a ‘socialist’ mayor in New York City. As Ayn Rand put it so long ago, ‘There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism — by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.’ One party is determined to be the only party. I’m a lifelong Republican, but I’m almost ashamed of this party; it’s weak, almost timid. Where’s the party that fought the Civil War to free slaves? The party that was involved in writing our Constitution? That helped slaves build the Underground Railroad? What happened to them? Wherever you are, please show yourselves to be what this party was founded on!” —Colorado

Re: Displaying the Flag Should Be Universally Okay

“All these people are proud to fly pride flags, sports team flags, and flags from other countries — yet they want the U.S. flag banned? I guess they’re just like those individuals who love their smartphone, air conditioning, and well-lit home but yet hate electricity and want it banned.” —Texas
