Editor’s Note: Thank you for sending comments on our news, policy, and opinion — we review every one of them. Here are a few reader perspectives, which don’t necessarily reflect those of The Patriot Post.

Re: “Tough Guy Biden Threatens Saudis

The Saudi Arabia problem is all about Iran. Both the Saudis and Israel begged Barack Obama not to cut a deal with Iran, but he did, showering it with money and making it a much stronger Middle East factor. Iran is Saudi Arabia and Israel’s mortal enemy, and Obama ignored them. Trump put up a gauntlet to the Obama/Kerry deal, but the Biden/Kerry combo is coddling Iran again. Biden even withdrew support from the EastMed pipeline. It is no wonder that Saudi Arabia and Israel no longer have confidence in American support and are leaning towards Russia. —New York

Re: “UN Sides With China Against the Uyghurs

Since 1945, American taxpayers have funded the United Nations more than any other nation. Prime real estate and special privileges were provided in New York City. Multiple examples of crimes against American citizens are on record from UN representatives, all ignored due to diplomatic immunity. This anti-American organization is ineffective and condones human rights violations by its favorite communist nations. Why are Americans paying for this injustice? —Oklahoma

Re: “Is Climate Important or Not?

I am sick of the words “climate change.” This planet will do what it has done over eons. IT CHANGES. And nothing we humans do will change that. We can clean up after ourselves as best we can. We can develop real systems to take care of our waste. But the planet will take care of itself. What if it decides to flip-flop? It has happened before. We want to control the weather. What a waste of time. Even if we find a way to change something, it will cause a different catastrophe. Humans and governments are good at that. —Arizona

Unpleasant fact: The climate has been warming since the end of the last Ice Age, approximately 20,000 years ago. The Sahara Desert formed during historic times, about 6,400 years ago. Hannibal’s Carthage was able to grow food crops until the last Roman invasion rendered it semi-desert. All done in the absence of the Industrial Revolution. The amount of farmland added east of the Russian taiga over the next 20 years will exceed that lost in California by a factor of 2 to 3 due to soil warming. The end of the world will have to be postponed a while longer. —Kentucky

Re: “Is Crime Real or a Fox News Concoction?

The crime surge we see, especially in Democrat-controlled cities across the U.S., is absolutely real, and it’s a good bet the horrid crime you see is committed by an illegal immigrant or a convicted criminal out on “early release” or on the street because of “no bail” policies. The only “fake” crimes are race-baiting hoaxes (Jussie Smollett) or the J6 protestors locked up on trumped-up trespassing charges. And now we can see FBI SWAT teams raiding the homes of non-violent pro-life protestors. It’s abhorrent and disgusting, and unless every single Democrat is voted out of office, we will continue to see the absolute destruction of the rule of law and the collapse of our civil society. —Georgia

When I was a young boy, if we had issues, we had fistfights. Usually after the fight, we would console each other or talk of how well the other performed, and more often than not we became friends. Now, we just go from dislike to murder. I’ll bet none of these killers will be remorseful about what they’ve done. We should stop talking about the number of people incarcerated and start building long-term prisons. The only deterrent for bad behavior is swift and severe punishment. Once this is done, crime will come down. —Nevada

Re: “Kamala Was the Only One Laughing on ‘Late Night’

A great example of why the outrageously irreverent, but politically on target, “Gutfeld!” show has overtaken all of the late-night shows. The hard-hitting comical exposure of the hypocrisy and nonsense of self-serving Democrats and their elite celebrity sycophants has found a growing U.S. audience. Hopefully, this will all aid measurably in red-wave success in the coming midterms. Truth in all forms and forums shall keep us free. —Florida
