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: Facebook Speech Suppression Reaches a New Low

“I left Facebook SPECIFICALLY because I was fed up with it blocking, restricting, and fact-checking my posts, which, not surprisingly, was very similar to the types of things you were posting. I stopped watching the MSM for the same reason that most people did: they were tired of being lied to. The result is that we have found your platform and share your reports and analysis regularly with ‘nonbelievers.’ The results? Converts! Because I can look someone in the eye who knows me, they tend to trust my words more than my posts. The electronic gurus at Fakebook are going to pay a heavy price for dragging the horse to water, cutting off any other choice of watering hole, and then drowning it because it refuses to drink!” —Florida

“I sympathize with you. I am not on FB and will never be. However, I will continue to view your content on your website. THANK YOU.” —Ontario

Re: About Those ‘Hottest Days Ever’

“Measuring the claimed global warming is an extremely difficult task; one would need to compile high-resolution, high-accuracy measurements of both temperature and heat flux over the entire surface of the earth continuously for years to have any true confidence in the conclusion. The database of measurements biased by urban heat island effects only tells us cities are getting bigger and hotter.” —Minnesota

“They say that 10,000 years ago the Northwest was under 5,000 feet of ice. Do you think it was the buses or the airplanes or the trucks that warmed up the earth?” —Washington

Re: Axios Outs ‘Old Yeller’

“And not one second after Biden steps out of the 2024 election, tada, our rotten, worse-than-Biden governor will step in. Bank on it! I’ve never voted for Gavin Newsom and I sure ain’t starting now. He’s the WRECKER COMPLETER of our USA, just as he is for California.” —California

Re: A Stunning No-Confidence Vote for Our Nation

“Biden is just intensifying what Obama started. Under Obama’s reign, every federal office, bureau, department, service, and administration was corrupted, and Republicans did nothing about it — no special prosecutors, no indictments, no felony charges … nothing.” —Pennsylvania

Re: Musk’s ‘Core Socialist Values’?

“Musk is no idealist; he’s a pragmatic capitalist: he’ll do whatever it takes to profit. Unlike Musk, Trump abhors socialist favors and is wary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Unless the U.S. economy is set free from socialist policies choking the profits of a free market, the CCP’s trade dominion will grow, choking the U.S. dollar. A U.S. military response will compete for resources against the severe demand for vital life-sustaining needs of a desperate population. It may already be too late to counter, but we must try. Else, the rights of man will be irretrievably replaced in favor of communist elites.” —Missouri

Re: The 15-Minute City

“I grew up in a small town that was about 15 minutes from end to end. There were two small grocery stores, a hardware store, and several other businesses. Everyone knew everyone else in town. If you needed help with something, it wasn’t hard to find. Later I moved to a larger town. I knew the people next door … sort of … but very few others. Now retired, my wife and I moved to a 55+ community in Florida. We know a lot of people here, and once again if anyone needs help with something, it is easy to find. It is absolutely a better life when you know your neighbors and can rely on them to actually be neighborly. Is this right for everyone? Maybe not, but I can attest that the idea definitely has merit.” —Florida

Re: Monday: Below the Fold

“The aim of China’s Neurostrike Program would be to attack both military and civilian personnel with a brain-disrupting weapon that would ‘impair thinking, reduce situational awareness, inflict long-term neurological damage and cloud normal cognitive functions.’ My God, they’ve apparently already used this weapon on our president!” —Maryland

“Consider if China’s COVID lab ‘leak’ was an insidious weapons test of a proxy bio vector for China’s ‘neurostrike’ weapons program, or the COVID vax mandates were part of that test. Even if this is a conspiracy theory, only the deliberately naïve would deny China learned the effectiveness of spreading a pandemic among her free-world adversaries. An overwhelming majority of antibiotics used in the U.S. are manufactured in China. Combine this with AI’s control of ‘news,’ which is already perverted, and only the most profoundly ignorant could not recognize this clear and present danger against which we are defenseless. Of course, investors like Hunter and ‘Big Guy’ Joe Biden will survive handsomely, at ChiCom President Xi’s pleasure.” —Missouri

Re: Profiles of Valor: Larry Taylor, Medal of Honor

“Yet another amazing story of valor, and thank you for the link to your previous profile detailing Larry Taylor’s actions that dark night in Vietnam. As veterans, we understand our obligation to our brothers and sisters in our ranks, like nobody else does, other than maybe law enforcement officers. Taylor exemplifies all that is good and right about America!” —New York

“Thank God for the Larry Taylors of this world. I know there are more like him waiting for this administration to end and a new, more military-friendly one to take over. God willing, the next administration will scrub every vestige of the woke crap our current warriors have to endure so they can stand tall and be proud of their uniform again.” —West Virginia
