Re: How Colleges and Universities Are Restoring Civility on Campus

“Thanks for allowing your readers to repost your articles — this instructive column needs to be in our regional California conservative publications. It explains why the SEC schools in the South are now attracting so many students from the Left Coast!” —California

“A lot of the problem is parents who suffer irreconcilably from Trump Derangement Syndrome, which thrives on hate, division, etc. And they pass that on to their kids. Notably, there was no BDS, even though Joe Biden was obviously incompetent, and no ODS, even though Barack Obama was as destruction to our country as any president ever.” —New Hampshire

“The Democrat Party is now incapable of civility, as it is infected with the secular humanist cult of Marxism, hate, misery, failure, and death.” —North Carolina

Re: The Burrito Food Fight on the Right

“The best thing the Republicans can do about our actions in Iran is to emphasize that we prevented the regime from getting a nuclear weapon that it could have put in any city to detonate. The additional actions dramatically reduced the support and exportation of terrorist activity.” —Florida

“As noted, prices are up because of tariffs and increased oil prices as a result of the war with Iran. Certainly, the war with Iran is becoming increasingly unpopular. However, the same people complaining about the current state of the economy would be the first in line to complain if the Trump administration were to allow Iran to go unchecked and then initiate a nuclear war. How close was Iran to being able to send long-range missiles armed with nuclear warheads as far as Western Europe? We may never know for certain. But one thing is certain: if capable of so doing, the mullahs would definitely do it because that is the kind of people who are in charge of Iran’s government. We do not understand that the leading Muslims have no fear of death.” —Ohio

Re: Executive Orders Mitigate the Damage on Birthright Citizenship

“I propose that all visa applications include a question, under penalty of perjury, about whether a female visitor is pregnant or due to give birth during the time of her stay in the U.S. Deny all applications that answer yes to that question.” —California

“What we need is an amendment to the Constitution. Too many have died defending our way of life to allow these illegals to infiltrate America and have children here. Something needs to be done before it’s too late. Birthright citizenship was not designed for what is happening, and it’s another reason why the Democrats don’t want the SAVE Act to pass.” —New York

Re: Mamdani’s Rotten Sack of Groceries

“Zohran Mamdani and Kathy Hochul are both phonies; she endorsed him along with her bad policies. The voters of New York — and this includes the Democrats — had better wake up to the socialists/communists being elected to office. Vote them out or pay the price with your freedoms.” —New York

“The states and municipalities that are testing ‘policy innovation’ support socialism because their constituents have never lived it. They are in the 18-29 age group; the USSR fell 45 years ago. There has been no major power born of Marxist theory since then with which to compare — China, which euphemistically characterizes itself as a ‘socialist market economy,’ being the deceptive exception — ergo ‘Democratic Socialism.’ But the students of our corrupt public education system have never considered the details. The Mamdani experience is a test. People will be hurt, as will anyone holding their hand to a flame, learning through their experiences. And in New York City and elsewhere, learn they will.” —Vermont

Re: An Idea Only an Academic Would Find Clever

“What is already odious is allowing these same recent college grads to vote regarding property taxes, distribution, and apportionment when they own absolutely no property. The same can be said of the public at large that does not own real property.” —Ohio

Re: Cambridge Con Man

“Munchausen syndrome, or self-fabulousness, is evidently not limited to ethnic Europeans. Had former Professor Arday simply given credit where it was due instead of stealing glory by plagiarizing, he might have had a lesser, but still positive, reputation. Instead, he ruined not only his own reputation but potentially that of others of a similar background.” —Minnesota

“It is not so much that Arday faked his credentials, but that he used his platinum race card to take advantage of the idiots of academia’s fear of being labeled a racist. In the end, he remains the ‘innocent’ one while his accusers are the ‘guilty’ ones because they still will not admit they were duped by their own ‘open-mindedness.’” —North Carolina

Re: Bait and Switch

“Many pastors in the American church don’t have the backbone to stand up and lead their congregations to do what is right and godly. Just look at the COVID debacle; very few pastors stood up and bucked the system. Too many church leaders are like beta males who are afraid of losing their tax-exempt status rather than doing what is right and knowing God will take care of them. I’m glad we had real pastors leading our churches during the revolution. Otherwise, we would still be under English rule.” —Idaho

Re: Winning the Argument Is Not Enough

“To begin the journey back to a working government, I think the American people will have to wake up to the fact that we as a country have turned away from God. We really need to go back to the beginning and be reminded of those who founded our country. It was made for a moral people, and nothing less will work. We don’t have to continue down our current path; we can stop and turn around.” —Oregon
