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: Jason Aldean Calls Out the Rabble

“The Left’s embarrassing tantrum over a simple country song is both amusing and frightening. Amusing because the Left’s hypocrisy reflects its complete lack of self-awareness yet again. It’s also frightening because this nonsense is proof that racism is very much alive and well in this country — but it’s among leftists, who really should look in the mirror more often.” —Tennessee

Re: Are Shootings Really Racist?

“There was a popular myth that inner-city gangsters suffered from low self-esteem, and if we just flattered them enough with positive attention, they would be all better. The leftist politicians may not have heard, but that has been thoroughly debunked. Gang leaders tend to score higher than anybody else on self-esteem tests (i.e., they are full of themselves), and likewise very low on measures of conscience. That’s what comes of growing up without a decent father figure. Their primary value is pride — like Lamech in Genesis 4:23-24. Confiscating guns and making whites grovel in shame and pay reparations will only make matters worse. The only cure is to put the literal fear of God in them.” —Minnesota

Re: Snow Bait and the Seven Diversity Hires

“‘Woke-infested companies like Disney are obsessed with taking something beloved and historic and retrofitting it to modern sensibilities.’ Meanwhile, this robs everyone of a historical perspective to better understand where we’ve been, where we’re at, and the direction culture is headed. Almost all producers or moviemakers today, except for the majority of the Christian genre producers, have nothing original worth watching. They became a wrecking ball to the best of Hollywood’s past. I no longer watch what they’re producing until it’s free, and then it’s very few. Remakes are insulting if I’ve seen the original, and most of what’s been created the last 20 years doesn’t hold a candle to the least of the performances of the past.” —Oregon

Re: Good News: Women’s Cycling Leading the Way

“Anyone who remembers Secretariat, the amazing horse who won every race he ran in, will also know that after his death a necropsy was done, and it found his heart was much bigger than the average horse. So, YES, SIZE MATTERS! Men who compete as women have a huge advantage and should never be allowed to compete against women in sports. They should be called out as cheaters and misogynists.” —Pennsylvania

“Wow — finally, a women’s sport that actually draws the line at the ugly unreality of men competing as women! This nauseating spectacle of self-diminished men competing against females will go down as one of the ugliest spectacles in sports. How could such a blatantly unfair and obviously wrong situation like this ever happen? Those who allowed it and competed in it as men should be treated as gutless freaks.” —New York

“Congratulations to female cyclists, who had the courage to do what all other female athletes should have done some time ago. Also, I don’t know how any transgender ‘female’ can unashamedly accept awards and titles that are nothing more than stolen valor.” —Pennsylvania

Re: The Bidens Allegedly ‘Coerced’ Burisma for Bribes

“If the alleged bribe money was concealed by being dispersed through various shell corporations after being disbursed by Burisma, the IRS absolutely has an interest — hiding it from potential detection as bribery also hides it from taxation. That’s what makes Hunter’s ‘sweetheart sentence’ deal on tax fraud charges all the more outrageous. Any Republican or common citizen would have been locked up for a very long time and would have faced additional charges already for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Besides that, all of the money would have been confiscated as the proceeds of a criminal enterprise.” —Minnesota

Re: Have Demos Finally Discovered the Biden/Harris Problem?

“A Biden campaign for reelection will be a thorough test of the Democrats’ ability to control the public narrative and the elections. If the Democrats win, democracy loses.” —Minnesota

“It makes no difference if ‘Democrats have doubts.’ They’ll vote for Joe Biden as they did in 2020. Tump Derangement Syndrome is a powerful, long-lasting virus with no known cure, and it is a winner for Demos.” —Washington

“If Trump is the Republican nominee, a ‘ham sandwich’ will beat him, to borrow from the old lawsuit imagery. Trump will inevitably remind Americans why he should not be president.” —California

“For all of Trump’s indictments, it is unlikely any trial will take place before the 2024 election. That will allow Trump to stay in the race and likely win the nomination. But then what? His supporters — and I was one, twice — don’t seem to understand that a defeated incumbent with only 50% of his party’s approval can’t win a general election.” —West Virginia

“Biden will stay in the race until close to the election, when he will be pulled out and the Dems will make another ‘Lautenberg’ move like they did in New Jersey when it was clear their incumbent was going to loose. The 2022 election proved Trump has no coattails.” —New York

“Just for fun… If the GOP impeaches Merrick Garland, Biden could appoint Kamala Harris as AG, then appoint as the new VP whomever the Democrats think can win in 2024. So why is the GOP considering this impeachment?” —Ohio

Re: RNC: Biden’s Broken Border

“What? Secure the border and ruin the Marxists’ well-planned agenda of using hordes of illegals to change the demographics so that, simply outnumbered, the Republicans will never win another national election? This influx of illegals has already probably caused drastic changes in our census, the number of any given state’s House representatives, and the Electoral College. By the time we put another Republican in the White House to put a stop to it, it may well be too late.” —Pennsylvania

Re: Friday: Below the Fold

“Re: the Stanford dean, Ms. Steinbach: she resigned, which is good but not the best. The law school should have terminated her the minute she rebuked the federal judge, rather than rebuking the students who apparently need, in my view, to go back to 3rd grade or so to learn about free speech and respect for all men.” —California
