Re: “Massive Turnout Honors Fallen NYC Cop”

“After electing Eric Adams, an affirmative action meter maid masquerading as a police officer with no real police experience, as mayor and Alvin Bragg, another affirmative action, social justice, ‘soft-on-crime’ warrior, as district-attorney, what did they think was going to happen? Violent crime isn’t going to affect them with their taxpayer-funded security details, but it most certainly is going to affect those who pay their salaries. Elections have consequences, and you, the citizens of New York, are paying a deadly price for your stupidity.” —Nevada

Re: “BLM Bosses MIA”

“BLM murdered several people, looted, put many businesses out of business, and destroyed real estate. The leader bought several mansions. BLM is an organized crime wave that got away with murder. It has caused more hatred in America than any other organization I know of. It needs to pay for its crimes, yet the January 6 protesters are still sitting in a DC jail — no charges, no due process, inhumane conditions — and they didn’t kill anyone.” —California

Re: “The Great Canadian Freedom Convoy”

“Several months ago, a Canadian from Vancouver called in to Andrew Wilkow and said how lucky the U.S. is for having the Electoral College. The western provinces are consistently outvoted in Ottawa by Trudeau and company. Ontario and Quebec rule all of Canada, the western provinces be damned, no matter the consequences. This became very evident last year when globalist emperor Justin Trudeau passed a law impacting the grain export business for the sake of controlling ‘climate change.’ Revolution can’t come soon enough.” —Massachusetts

Re: “Vandy Study Pours Cold Water on Universal Pre-K”

“The real problem are socialists who believe ‘it takes a village’ and requires ‘expertise’ to indoctrinate children to vote ‘properly’ as adults. Compounded with the denial of school choice, these efforts apply Lenin’s maxim: ‘Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.’ These tactics deny critical thinking skills and secure a socialist future dictated by a ruling party elite exploiting a complacent and ignorant proletariat.” —Missouri

Re: “In Brief: Segregation Now, Segregation Forever?”

“The County Board of Health mandates all these rules for us. Go protest them, and you have my complete support. But have some consideration for people like my daughter who work retail. They are in the unenviable position of asking patrons (politely) to wear masks in the store (and provide them for free if you need one). If patrons ignore these requests, then it is the business that gets fined and possibly shut down. This has a direct negative effect on my daughter’s compensation. When you are in a business, you are a guest and should be polite to the clerks! Martin Luther King Jr. changed hearts and minds not so much by protests, and certainly not by a self-righteous attitude, but by having a dream that resonated in every human heart.” —California

Re: “Vax Mandates Still Losing in Court”

“I find it almost impossible to come to grips with the parents who insist on masking children, especially preschool-age ones. Are they concerned at all with what this is doing to them? Speech therapists have noted that a very high number of children are being seen because they aren’t speaking according to their age bracket. Are these parents concerned at all? The dumbing-down of America is in full swing.” —Massachusetts

Re: “Did the FBI Entrap the Whitmer Plotters?”

“It may be time for term limits for federal civil servants. It is tempting for those with enforcement power to see themselves as civil masters rather than servants, or to conflate bending actions to support their political preferences with ‘defending democracy’ or ‘protecting the environment.’ One can justify any number of tyrannical actions or unethical dirty tricks in the name of these causes. While the IRS and FBI have been most prominent in these lapses, other agencies have likewise abused power to further the preferred political party of big government. Requiring high-ranking bureaucrats to take jobs in different agencies or outside of the federal government after a certain period of years at least will break up some of the cabals.” —Minnesota

Odds & Ends

“I’ve listened to Joe Rogan’s podcast for years. Anyone who has actually listened would know that he is actually pretty far left-of-center. He’s a Bernie supporter, for crying out loud! Most conservatives, including myself, respect people with open minds who can discuss things rationally regardless of their personal politics. The modern progressives are not liberal; they are close-minded drones.” —Texas

“The basis for racism in the U.S., as defined by the Left, isn’t oppression or any other actual event. The Left tells all of America that somebody of color was mistreated in Georgia. Then a thug in California is shot by a cop while resisting arrest and the Left says he is one of thousands. The electorate is too dumb or too lazy to look up facts. They just say to themselves, ‘Hey, look what is happening to people who look like me!’ The thugs help the defund-police movement by telling their kin the cops are at fault. Nobody sits for one minute to think: No cops, higher crime.” —Nevada
