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: Manifestations of the Gender Cult

This report is heartbreaking, to say the least. Thank you for posting so people can maybe understand what a horror this is. Most of us can’t imagine what would lead a parent to mutilate their child like this. I pray that it can be stopped. I’m so sad for these children. I truly think the parents who inflict this on their child are criminals. —Louisiana

Re: Targeting Women: Transgender Influencing

I fail to see how or why so many of the “people” can be swayed to protect and promulgate sexual genocide. They are, by denying the fact of two separate genders, advocating the reduction, if not the elimination, of reproduction. A male cannot gestate, regardless of the number of laws passed or demonstrations held. Women cannot reproduce without the male gender. The end result is the extinction of the human species. How is it possible to be possessed with such self-hate that one wishes to destroy all of his or her own species? —Texas

Re: Abortion Pill on Collision Course for SCOTUS

Anything you put in your body is potentially harmful. This is no different. A rock is inanimate or dead, therefore it cannot grow. A fetus is living tissue and can grow. This alone should settle the issue of life. —Minnesota

Let’s face it: With limited exceptions, abortions have been used as a means of convenience to free people from having an “unwanted” pregnancy. The problem is mostly based in lustful selfishness. Sex was never intended to take place outside of a loving marriage between a man and a woman where a child is welcomed into a family. It may be prudish of me, but we need to turn back the clocks and everyone needs to “keep it inside their pants.” Watch the rhetoric on abortions drop quickly. —Florida

Re: Louisville: Another Sociopathic ‘Suicide by Cop’?

“How many more Americans must die before Republicans in Congress will act to protect our communities?” asked Biden. Interesting question since Democrats encourage and protect the behavior that endangers our communities. Answer: Remove Democrats in Congress so Republicans CAN do something to protect communities. —North Carolina

These sociopaths have decided they don’t have the “courage” to commit suicide and kill others so police can kill them. —Illinois

Democrats are clueless regarding firearm bans. They ignore the fact that during Prohibition, criminals made and sold booze for increased profits. It did NOT work, so the 18th Amendment was canceled by the 21st. Criminals will always acquire guns regardless of the law. —California

To reduce crime and “gun violence,” start by enforcing the existing laws. And maybe reinstitute public hangings. —Texas

Re: An Ominous Jobs Report

Biden’s policies and lack of vision are hurting our economy, causing all America to suffer as a result. We need new direction and real leadership. I don’t think Biden or Trump can lead us into the future. We need someone like Pence or DeSantis. Definitely not a Democrat. —Michigan

Re: Biden Declares War on Gas Cars

You first, Mr. Biden. Replace your limos and all of the motorcade support vehicles with electric models, recharged solely by solar panels and wind turbines on government property. You have the pen and phone; all you have to do is redirect funds from DEI training with an executive order. Then we might take you seriously. —Minnesota

Can someone please explain why we all have to buy EV cars? What kind of insanity rules this country? When is the realization that oil is a strategic commodity going to be realized in this country? After the Chinese set up their troops in barracks around the U.S. to control us? What the heck is becoming of America? Where are the real men? —Massachusetts

Re: Standing With Taiwan Is the Right Thing to Do

China has gotten away with thuggish behavior for way too long. Time to move away from politely ignoring the issue to actively reminding the people of China that freedom is available for them also. Stand up and take it. This president may not help you, but perhaps the next one will. Regardless, being free is better than being property. —Washington

Re: Monday Short Cuts

“This idea, this argument, is just ludicrous that we left millions of dollars of stuff in Afghanistan. We didn’t.” —National Security Council spokesman John Kirby



“For all this talk of chaos, I just didn’t see it.” —John Kirby



Is Kirby deaf, dumb, and BLIND? Thirteen dead American soldiers; American citizens still left in the country; dozens of dead Afghans; hundreds of items of military gear, all in video recordings publicly available. As with most of this administration’s failures, we are asked to disbelieve our lying eyes! —Maryland

Re: Biden’s Gender-Confused Race-Bait Gun Control Combo

The howling mob trying to intimidate the Tennessee legislature into hasty action perfectly exemplifies why we should be and are a Republic, not a “democracy.” —Minnesota

Re: Profiles of Valor: Michael Thornton

Just two of many deserving heroes of that war! —Michigan
