Re: The Left’s Next George Floyd?

The Marine doesn’t deserve to be charged; he deserves a medal. If the hypocrites protesting now had shown any actual interest in this criminal and others like him before he died, maybe he’d still be alive. Obviously when you constantly pander to some groups and label them as “helpless victims,” they will never acknowledge that their own lack of personal responsibility is the root cause of their problems. But blaming whites is always a handy excuse and gets them lots of the attention they crave. —Pennsylvania

He did the right thing. So, leave him alone. We need more like him to put checks and balances into the criminal thug world. As far as AOC is concerned, she is the problem that New York has to offer. —Florida

If the police were looking for any excuse to shoot blacks, there would be few still walking. If whites were as bad as BLM claims, there would be no blacks in the U.S. —California

Re: The Unabashed Idiocy of Deb Haaland

Both the Biden administration and the Democrat-overrun Minnesota government are blocking access to copper-platinum and nickel-cobalt deposits near the Boundary Waters region. They claim without evidence that mining will certainly pollute nearby waters with sulfur compounds, despite the mining company’s intention to use proven safe and clean modern mining methods, and having already passed environmental reviews several years ago. Senator Hawley is doing a better job of representing Minnesota miners than Minnesota’s senators. Democrats Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar are letting down their constituents yet again. —Minnesota

Re: The American Intel PSYOP That Rigged the 2020 Election

I keep hearing that people were so persuaded by this Russian disinformation lie put forward by this cabal of experts. I find it hard to believe that so many voters would have voted for Trump instead of Lyin’ Biden had they only known that Biden used lies to get elected. People had Biden’s 45-year public service record of lies and plagiarism to consider. The man is a habitual liar and flip-flopper, and his record is proof of this. If folks can’t see that then they aren’t astute enough to weigh the Russian disinformation lie either. —Kansas

Re: Rescuing Our Kids From Public School’s Pleasure Island

Imagine the state of American K-12 education if teachers belonged to professional organizations like the AICPA or the AMA or the Institute of Internal Auditors, all of which have educational and experience requirements to become certified members. All of these organizations have the ability to either discipline or expel members who don’t conform to the rules. Additionally, they have codes of ethics and require continued education. There are 205,600 public charter school teachers and 509,200 private school teachers. They could start their own professional organization as a counterweight to the teachers unions. —California

The only real solution to this is to completely do away with government-run public schools. Take the money currently used and distribute it in the form of vouchers to parents of school-age kids. When all schools become “private” and they start having to compete for the money, most of the BS we see in schools today will instantly vanish. When schools no longer have to put up feral animals in the classroom and “Johnny” gets thrown out of his fourth school, maybe his parents will get a hint that it’s him and not the teachers that is the problem. —Idaho

Re: No Sanctuary for Democrats

Excellent article. I am, however, gritting my teeth at the ignorance, stupidity, and extraordinary virtue signaling of the Left. Good for Chicago for ending Lightfoot’s reign. Got to admit, though, that her successor will likely be as bad or worse. Even much worse. —Hawaii

Re: The Battlefield

The failure to pray is largely the reason we are a post-Christian nation. Tozer is correct indeed, and the summation he “rightly realized that the failure to pray is what leaves the enemy in control of the battlefield” is right in line with our ministry position that the Church is mostly powerless against the onslaught of darkness because it is mostly prayerless. We need not just one day of national prayer but daily national prayer. And it falls on the people of God to gather to intercede that we would be mature in faith and stand firm in all the will of God. —South Dakota
