Re: “The Groomers Are Winning”

“7.2% of the population now identifies as LGBTQ+. Why this sudden jump?” Just getting started on the alphabet soup that is the sex counterculture. Given that there are 21 more letters to be used, I fully expect that the percentage will rise proportionally as letters are added! —Maryland

My brother-in-law was a victim of grooming in the early ‘80s. He hated what it made him to the point he took his life to prevent himself from becoming a groomer. He endured a struggle with mental health into his early 20s. We knew some of what he endured as a teen. We read his diary after his passing and it was simply tearful. The mind control can only be compared to being part of a cult. —Oklahoma

We need to hold the line on prohibiting sex change and chemical castration of children and young adults. So many of the people who regret their LGBTQ identification and subsequent sex-change procedures say they did it to fit in or get attention. These folks have serious mental health issues. —Ohio

I believe it was Goebbels who said a lie told often enough becomes the truth, and a lie can travel around the world before the truth can be said. Young people with brains full of mush are being bombarded with garbage by Democrats and their media sycophants. The goal is to depopulate the world. —Minnesota

Re: “No, Joe, It’s NOT the 'First Anniversary’ of the Russo-Ukrainian War”

I am not so opposed to our aid to Ukraine but am offended by the neglect we are suffering here at home. Biden does not care! We have a southern border invasion of our own that needs to be stopped, or we won’t have a country. —Alaska

The limits of our armaments stock should be cause for caution. China’s Xi happily watches as we bleed ourselves swatting at his trained winged Russian monkeys. —Illinois

Re: “Vivek Ramaswamy for President?”

There was a time when we all thought Davos and gang was a good thing, before realizing the goal of Klaus and Big Corp. There was also a time when Pfizer was the best pharma company. Now the WEF, Pfizer, and many major corporations have become pariahs, especially those doing business in China under the CCP rules. Vivek should not be disqualified for past associations, provided he distances himself from them now. But, in my opinion, he is not ready for a POTUS run. He should try for a House or Senate seat first. —Washington

Re: “In Brief: Red-Flag Laws Won’t Keep Anyone Safer”

What would be more effective in preventing crime than red-flag laws would be for the states to reopen long-term psychiatric care facilities for persons with documented mental health issues. Abut 30 years ago, when these hospitals were no longer fashionable, leftist governors closed them, putting inmates out into the streets “with supervision” to mingle with unsuspecting citizens. Almost all of the group shooters had previous police and/or mental health records, and those tragedies could have been prevented. —Pennsylvania

Re: “Revive Me, Lord!”

In 2010, my wife and I responded to a call from the Lord to leave California. His exact words were: “I am sending you to Kentucky to pray for America’s next Great Awakening.” We’ve been at it for 13 years. So I tend to lean toward awakening. When Jesus says He’s coming like a thief in the night, He also says, “Blessed is the one who stays awake.” Rather than split theological hairs, I think a good question to ask isn’t whether or not you are praying for revival, renewal, transformation, or awakening, but are you praying? Where is the place where God can come and rest in you? Are you praying without ceasing? Are you praying at all? Pray — or live with the consequences of a prayer-less life. —Kentucky
