Re: ‘Young Washington’ and Red Erwin: The Rest of the Story

“Yet another truly amazing Profile of Valor. Thank you for focusing on what is good and right about our great nation!” —Montana

“Once again, my thanks to The Patriot Post for doing such an excellent job of highlighting these Patriots from our history and bringing them to life. Your recounting of Red Irwin’s story truly brings tears to my eyes. His is a story that, like so many from the past, needs to be taught to our youth so they too can learn to aspire to self-sacrifice and serving others.” —California

“I saw ‘Young Washington’ with my family, and we all loved it. But tucked into your wonderful story about Red Erwin was a mention of my Uncle Curtis LeMay. It brought tears to my eyes but made my day — thank you for that!” —Texas

“This column on Red Erwin brought tears to my eyes. I, too, look forward to a film that tells this story of an amazing man of faith and courage.” —Georgia

“If this account of heroic sacrifice doesn’t inspire one with pride in American exceptionalism, that person has lost their soul and doesn’t deserve to claim the name ‘American.’” —Oklahoma

“All I can say is that they were called the ‘Greatest Generation’ for a reason. Thank you for your service, Red.” —Florida

Re: Blue Angels Thriller or Killer?

“Complaining about the low flyover by the Blue Angels during Blue Angels Week in Pensacola makes as much sense as going to an opera to hear classical music in an air-conditioned auditorium and complaining about the loud singing in a foreign language.” —Arizona

“As a former Air Force pilot, I do question their judgment here. They should have flown parallel to the shore, not over the head of the spectators. My hope is that the debrief emphasized that.” —Tennessee

“While training for carrier landings at Pensacola, I remember standing at the upwind end of Runway 7 at Sherman Field and feeling the mind-bending vibrations of the afterburners from two Blue Angels screaming overhead. No pity for those beachgoers having had the privilege of seeing these sterling aviators in action in their Super Hornets.” —Massachusetts

“When I was flying F-16s out of MacDill AFB, I spoke to a tour group from nearby Sun City. One senior citizen asked about the noise. I asked if she had noted the white star on the fuselage of the F-16 on ‘static display’ in our hangar. She replied, ‘Yes.’ I let her know that Cuban and Soviet aircraft have a red star on their fuselages, but when a plane with a white star flies overhead, that’s the ‘sound of freedom.’ I received a standing ovation!” —Georgia

Re: What Are Flock Cameras, and Why Do People Hate Them?

“The rules used to be that police departments would have to get a court order to request the information that was recorded by cameras like this. In the new system, the camera operator just sends the information to police departments regularly, or they get paid to provide it. In other words, there are no guardrails on the availability of this information.” —Oklahoma

“Flock Safety is acting as a de facto government agent, which would seem to hold it to the same constitutional standards as any government agency.” —Tennessee

“The issue is how the data will be used. It sounds good on the surface, but ask yourself where our sinful human nature will take the idea. In the end, it will be abused.” —Arizona

“Could you or I place cameras next to Flock cameras, or would we be cited? If the latter, then there is a municipal principle involved, and the cameras cannot be construed as strictly private.” —Michigan

“If they’re going to use those things, they should at least do it competently. In Oklahoma, at least, the system needs work. My wife’s car has been improperly flagged twice since Veterans Day for not having insurance. She has had USAA (no minor-league fly-by-night outfit) for around half a century.” —Oklahoma

“What part of 1984 do we not understand? Combine Flock’s mass of data with the processing power of all the data centers being built. Regardless of what they say about safety, it won’t stop there. Even when a Flock contract is canceled, the cameras remain, vacuuming up data of all sorts. Ultimately, this is a trust issue. Some portions of our government just do not trust us as citizens. We would be nuts to trust them with a system that has already been abused.” —Idaho

Re: Prosecutors Present Damning Evidence in Kirk Murder Case

“Even after his death, the Warren Commission made sure there was a ton of evidence connecting Lee Harvey Oswald to the assassination of JFK. Having read thoroughly over 50+ years, I am convinced first that Oswald did not act alone, and second that this is a repeat in the sense that whatever part Tyler Robinson played, he was not acting alone. Just as no one has come forward in 63 years to admit their part in the JFK assassination, the same will be true here unless people like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson seek truth instead of the narrative. Broad is the way that leads to destruction, and narrow is the way that leads to life. Always seek truth.” —Georgia

Re: The Hefty Price of Demonizing SCOTUS

“Lay the blame on our incrementally weakened judicial system thanks to the Democrat Party. We see hardened criminals being turned loose after laughable sentences, only to go out and commit more crime. Our neighbor state, a Democrat stranglehold for years, is the poster child for a weak judicial system. Sadly, my own once-strong state has been weakened by another Democrat governor who has allowed our judicial system to deteriorate. A possible scenario is that the system is being weakened to allow more crime with stolen guns to ultimately disarm the nation.” —Colorado

Re: Democrats Try to Solve Their Man Problem

“My family goes back 16 generations. Sadly, many of our men died too young. One family man was pulled into a massive machine he was operating; he passed away after horrific suffering. Others fought in wars and never came home. For some reason, our men just didn’t seem concerned about their identities. The Democrats, men and women both, seem to have some serious psychological issues. Considering what they engage in, we, the ‘other side,’ best beware of what they try to push. They’re not to be trusted — an understatement of epic proportions. When the Left took over schools, it was an abomination of the worst order.” —Colorado
