Reader Comments

Observations on the week’s analysis and commentary.

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: “An Omnibus Obscenity

The Constitution is a dozen or so pages. Congress passes bills of a thousand pages or more. If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, you baffle them with BS. —Oklahoma

If a bill is introduced for a vote and no one has had time to read and understand it, don’t vote on it. Seems simple enough even for simple people. —Washington

Re: “Good Riddance to the J6 Committee

Good! Let Pelosi bring this phony case into a real court of law where there would be rugged, detailed cross-examinations and the disclosing of evidence censored by the J6 kangaroo court. Go ahead, Nancy. I think you will rue the day… —Pennsylvania

Re: “Alaska’s Banana Republic Elections

The amount of money spent up here on advertising for ranked-choice voting was over the top. Where I live, we decided to do hand counts for our local elections. I think that helped us have more faith in our local elections. However, for the state and federal part of the election, we still used machines. Please, everyone in states thinking about RCV: Don’t do it. I don’t know anyone who voted for it, but, amazingly, it still passed. The whole thing up here is a mess. I hope we can fix it, but I’m not optimistic for us as a state or for us as America. I pray I’m wrong. —Alaska

Re: “Google Embraces Racism for ‘Social Justice’

This is pretty ironic considering the trend from a few years ago when mixed-race people were bellyaching since the race options on a survey were basically white, black, brown, or yellow and didn’t include every possible combination of colors that they had in their family. Now they can be doubly offended since Google is going to lump anyone not obviously caucasian into one big category — black. If this wasn’t so absurdly regressive and downright insulting, it would be funny. —Pennsylvania

Re: “Another High School Covers Up a Bathroom Attack

The superintendent tries to deflect from his dereliction of not reporting this savage assault in the inferred privacy of a girls’ bathroom with the excuse, “Mass communication is only sent for critical events.” If the attack on two students, one of whom suffered a concussion, is not considered a “critical event,” one can only imagine what it would take for this miserable excuse for an administrator to rise to the occasion and take any kind of appropriate action. I suppose the fact that the attacked student still had a pulse rendered the incident unreportable? —Virginia
