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: A Failed Commander-in-Chief

“President Biden’s impaired decision-making as commander-in-chief is not difficult to understand, but how could top military brass ever acquiesce to the premature abandonment of Bagram AB, with superior security and runway capability, thus necessitating the use of the Kabul international airport to evacuate American and Afghanistan citizens under extremely chaotic and dangerous conditions? The flawed U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, now two years past, must not be forgotten, and all complicit must be held accountable.” —Florida

Re: Border Blues Boohoos

“Dump the Democrats and change the Biden policy so immigrants are NOT granted legal rights to stay in the U.S., then send the illegals who entered under the Biden administration back. All costs to send illegals back to their country should be subtracted from any funding we provide to those countries. Finally, going back to a legal immigration process where applicants must apply through U.S. embassies should solve most of the issues.” —Florida

Re: The Andy Ngo Verdict: Antifa Wins

“The small, gay journalist Andy Ngo suffered a concussion along with numerous other injuries. Antifa are thugs along with BLM, which no Democrat has denounced. The defense attorney should be disbarred. He intimidated the jury just like Schumer intimidated SCOTUS.” —Minnesota

“Jury intimidation isn’t just grounds for disbarment, it’s a crime, at least in most jurisdictions. If the behavior of the respondents’ attorney appeared as threatening as it is described, I am astounded that the judge did not immediately declare a mistrial and ask for a grand jury to review the attorney’s actions.” —Minnesota

Re: Biden Admits Plan ‘Has Less to Do With Reducing Inflation…’

“Biden’s plan makes it more difficult for people to meet their basic needs. Those who were for his plan are obviously wearing blinders and totally out of touch with those in the lower economic classes. In other words, everyone except the elite group that he is part of.” —Michigan

Re: Elites vs. the Rest of Us

“Having read the entire David Brooks article elsewhere, I couldn’t help but notice his resemblance to a pre-revolutionary French aristocrat looking down his nose at the starving peasants while he smugly spoke about ‘our class.’ I was really expecting ‘Let them eat cake’ in conclusion, but instead it turned out to be ‘Trump is a monster.’ Wow — his open mind slammed shut in a hurry, didn’t it?” —Pennsylvania

“Correction: ‘has less to do with reducing inflation than it does’ enriching proponents, foreign and domestic, of the economically detrimental, progressive green energy policy.” —Florida

Re: NPR Labels Country Music Racist

“Convenient how the race-hustling bigots have forgotten that ever since its inception, most big-name stars of country music have been at least partially Indigenous American.” —North Carolina

Re: Friday Short Cuts

“We’re gonna stay focused on really ensuring that we’re communicating what this president has delivered for the American people.” —Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez

“The Republicans are going to do that too, and they’ll tell the hard truth. Mr. Biden delivered the most idiotic and avoidable military loss in America’s history when he abandoned Afghanistan instead of making an orderly withdrawal. He delivered the highest inflation in 40 years and increased the national debt by 18.5% ($5 trillion!) in only 3 ½ years. He delivered at least seven million foreign trespassers with no prospect that they will be held to answer for the crime of illegal entry. He’s sullied the presidency with the appearance of bribery. And that’s not all…” —Minnesota
