Re: “California Eliminates ‘Racist’ ACT, SAT

“This nonsense has its silver lining. It has made me more critical when shopping for professionals. I am more likely to look at their credentials, especially diplomas. I cannot see myself hiring an accountant or financial advisor from any school in California. If two plus two is too ‘white’ for them, how will I be treated by the IRS or my mortgage holder? If my doctor thinks numbers are fluid, how can he determine the cut to remove a tumor in my brain? Can anyone reconcile this math with reality?” —Nevada

Re: “Christmas in July — More Direct Government Checks

“The only reason money has value is if it’s backed by valuable labor. Every time people receive stolen goods (shoplifting, etc.), the value of the money the items would have costed is depreciated because no labor was performed to earn the money. Ditto with people sitting on their couches, receiving taxpayer-funded cash. Idleness will make our money worthless. Those who still work will virtually be enslaved.” —Illinois

Re: “The Demos’ 1/6 Capitol Theater Commission

“I agree the riot in the Capitol was totally asinine, but to call it an insurrection like the left keeps saying is even more asinine. If it was an insurrection, it was the most poorly planned and executed insurrection in history. No weapons were ever found. A true insurrection would have seen the death of politicians from the left, but that didn’t happen since these ‘insurrectionists’ were not violent. Some destruction of property, yes, but the only death as we all know was that of an ‘unarmed insurrectionist,’ whose death has been ignored by the MSM and the left-wing politicians. And who pulled the trigger is still unknown.” —Colorado

Re: “CDC Grants ‘Permission’ to Unmask

“No, we gave them permission to work for us and issue guidance, not dictates. They seem to forget that it was the citizens who banded together to form this government and to work on our behalf, not the other way around.” —Indiana

Re: “Cease-Fire Only After Israel Deals Big Blows to Hamas

“The cease-fire happened in spite of Biden, not because of him. This story plays out the same every time. Israel defends itself from Arabs hell-bent on destroying all Jews. The Arabs turn tail and run, and then complain they are victims of aggression. I’m old enough to remember the 1967 war, and the game repeats itself to varying degrees but the result is the same — Israel wins. And make no mistake, the Israelis will not surrender and will decimate their enemies.” —Alabama

Re: “‘Very Catholic’ Biden Rejects Notre Dame Invite

“Biden’s rejection of Notre Dame’s invitation to speak at its graduation exercise is his most sound and ‘honorable’ decision in his nearly 50 years of political life. All Church fathers and members should be thankful for his declination and canceled opportunity for the mainstream media to further their false narrative of the president’s devout Catholicism.” —Florida
