Re: “How Biden Floods Our Towns With Illegals”

Let’s not forget the terrorists that have now crossed our southern border and the fentanyl that is captured weekly by our law enforcement here in Texas. It’s enough to take down every person in the United States! This administration has blatantly let the terrorists into the United States and does not seem to care where they have gone. It also doesn’t seem to care about the fentanyl. If it did, it would have closed the southern border a long time ago. —Texas

Re: “Biden Is Trafficking Human Political Pawns”

There is no doubt that this is tough on the illegal aliens, but who encouraged them to come to the border in the first place? Is the trip from Martha’s Vineyard to an airbase on Cape Cod more humane because it’s a shorter trip? Has everyone forgotten that when people risked their lives to escape Cuba’s authoritarian government and managed to reach Florida, they were able to stay there and were assimilated? The problem isn’t Florida. —New Hampshire

It look less than 24 hours for them to be shipped off the Island to Cape Cod, but the Martha’s Vineyard hypocrites are not unkind. I am sure they sent them off with work gloves, shovels, and a rakes! —New Hampshire

Re: “Roberts’s Rules of Court Legitimacy”

Roberts is right, although it is hard to imagine a chief justice providing a weaker or more inarticulate defense of the Supreme Court’s constitutional role. Roberts: "You don’t want the political branches telling you what the law is…“ Actually, the political branches make the law, so in that sense they do tell us what the law is. The Court interprets it in accordance with the Constitution, so in that sense he is right. However, the chief justice missed an opportunity to comment in a straightforward, definitive way — which is one reason the pot keeps bubbling (witness Kagan’s recent statement). —Virginia

Re: ”Justice Kagan Questions Her Own Legitimacy“

Kagan: "When people see [courts] as trying just to impose personal preferences on a society irrespective of the law, that’s when there’s a problem.” 

On its face, what Kagan says is absolutely correct. The problem is the context. The only “personal preference” that rankles her and her liberal colleagues is the preference of the conservative members of the Court. —Georgia

Re: “The BIG ‘If’ Republicans Win”

This was a tedious read, but I made it through to the end. Why was it tedious? Because the MSM always lies. We have been lied to on so many levels about everything. Lies about masks, vaccines, elections, polls, shutdowns, the DOJ, the IRS, the FBI, borders, biology, climate change, and on and on. We have become accustomed to constant lies. Don’t listen to the lies — wait for the counts to come in in November. —Oregon

Re: “Railroad Unions Bully Weak Biden”

One of the problems America faced under Jimmy Carter was frequent strikes by multiple labor unions. Among other things, the unions at this time nearly destroyed the U.S. steel industry. It has never fully recovered. Most steel jobs went overseas. There is nothing new under the sun; history is prone to reruns. We’ve seen this story before also. —Minnesota

Re: “Wednesday: Below the Fold”

Senator Rand Paul’s Life at Conception Act (S. 99, introduced last year) is a constitutionally and factually sound approach and avoids getting into the weeds of dubious exceptions. It simply declares, “The terms ‘human person’ and ‘human being’ include each member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization or cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species comes into being.” The introduction meets other objections by stating, ‘Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child, a prohibition on in vitro fertilization, or a prohibition on use of birth control or another means of preventing fertilization.’“ —Minnesota

Re: ”The Decline of Christianity in the U.S.“

Christian clergy shoulder the blame. As David Horowitz writes in his book Dark Agenda, they took up the language of the Democrats when the virus hit and worship was stopped. Free speech was lost because religion and singing is speech, and assembly was lost since going to church requires assembly. They also lost freedom of press since any writing against what was done was repressed, and right to redress was lost since any complaints might put you in jail. So all five freedoms were lost, and clergy adopted the communist language that it was all done for the good of the collective. —Minnesota

The church of today is nothing but a social club sold out to worldly ideologies. True believers focus solely on God, Christ, the Spirit, and the infallibility of Scripture and want to live accordingly. Today’s "church” denies all of this, but wants to appear religious. Christianity is not a religion; it is a transformation and lifestyle change. —Oregon

Re: “Book Burners Against Smut”

I once found one of these degenerate books in my intermediate (6-8th grade) library in 1973. Just skimming through the first four pages to see if I might like the book, I thought I would throw up. I went home and told my mom, who was a first grade teacher, about the book. She was surprised, but said: “Yes, it’s allowed under the new curriculum. Parents have protested, but hopefully kids won’t check it out.” Apparently — that year, anyway — the book was never checked out. Guess our kids were smarter then, or at least had a few more moral standards. —Texas
