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: “Team Biden’s Facebook Protection Squads

I am one of your 750,000 social media followers. Every day I repost content from The Patriot Post FB page. I posted the Biden meme and was IMMEDIATELY thrown into Facebook jail. FB said I had violated its community standards, but your meme was NOT “intimate” in any respect. The FB police are ramping up sanitizing anything that might interfere with the Biden family crime syndicate. —California

Yes, it is long past time that Congress do something about the censorship and violations, but there are obviously members of Congress who are perfectly content with suppressing free speech and all the rest of our God-given rights. Change will require action. It’s up to all of us what that action will be. —Oregon

This was a great exposé on Facebook and the other social media trash venues! Well done, and keep ‘em on the ropes! —Virginia

Publisher’s Note: The Patriot Post also posts content on other platforms, some more friendly, including Truth Social, Gab, Gettr, Twitter, Instagram, MeWe, Parler, and YouTube.

Re: “FBI Rescinds Leaked Anti-Catholic Internal Memo

I would totally believe the assertion that all of this “excessive surveillance” on the part of the FBI is simply motivated by the 9/11 attacks if it weren’t for one nagging item: All of it is targeted against conservatives, Republicans, Christians, and Trump supporters! Why isn’t any of it pointed against antifa, BLM, the SPLC, Democrats, liberals, or progressives? Why doesn’t the FBI investigate Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, George Soros, Bill Gates, or Jeffrey Epstein’s (still unpublished) clientele list … you know, those people who are actually trying to ruin America and turn us into a Third World country? It seems pretty obvious to me, and everyone else with a brain, that the FBI is working for the latter group against the former. —Florida

The memo tells all: “(it) presents new mitigation opportunities.” Well, my Latin Mass congregation didn’t stop for COVID (much to the consternation of local authorities and much to the credit of our bishop who fought them for us). We didn’t stop when the county said to. We didn’t stop when the SPQR said to. Fat chance we stop because the SPLC says to. —California

Re: “Biden Bungles ChiCom Threat

Failure to address the balloon was a huge self-inflicted wound. However, it seems far more important that this has apparently been going on for a long time with no response. Worse is the probability that our politicized defense establishment and intelligence community have no idea what is going on. Now the Chinese appear to be entering our airspace using advanced technology that we don’t know about (or the existence of which we do not acknowledge). Our complacency and ineptitude seem to be running in parallel with our politics — stuck on stupid. —Virginia

Re: “Did Biden Really Blow Up Nord Stream 2?

Just another old leftist “journalist” trying to use his past accomplishments to remain relevant. The “unnamed source” being used in articles is beyond being used up. It bloomed like a flower in spring as soon as Donald Trump came down the escalator in Trump Tower to announce his initial run for president, and the fake news media has been running with that worn-out line for seven-plus years now. Tell us about this when you have some actual physical evidence. Hearsay is not allowed in a court of law, so why should it be accepted in the court of public opinion? —Tennessee

Re: “The Ambitious Wives of Fetterman and Biden

I don’t know much about Fetterman’s wife, but I do know that (Dr.) Jill Biden bears a tremendous amount of responsibility for her mindless husband’s election. Also, the Democrat Party should be held responsible for this incapable POTUS being nominated and hidden in the basement and not informing the citizens of his cognitive state. All should be held responsible along with all those who failed to even think about the miserable situation he would put this country in by voting for him. A complete failure of citizens to investigate the results of their votes, whether it was a fair election or not! 
A sad state of affairs. Now we are ALL paying the price of these failures, and who knows what is to come! —Florida

I doubt Jill envisioned herself as taking over for Dementia Joe à la Edith Wilson, but there’s no question she was determined to be First Lady no matter what the cost to her husband or the country. However, I have no doubt that Fetterman’s wife has his Senate seat in her sights as soon as she can get him out of the way. The pathetic selfishness and arrogance of these power-hungry women and their families is breathtaking and disgusting. Worse still is the precedent they’ve set — the Dems love to check off boxes, and now “cognitively impaired” seems to be the latest one to shoot for. —Wyoming

Re: “Unity at the Super Bowl? Please

My grandson (high school junior) watched at a friend’s home, and when asked what he thought about the halftime show, he said: “A bunch of people looked like dancing marshmallows.” Well, this grandmother, a dancer all of her life beginning “professionally” at age 3, decided that the requirement to be able to perform that choreography was extremely more interesting that the actual choreography. However, I hope to never witness any other halftime show as vulgar, from dancers through headliner, as that! —Kansas
