Re: More Biden/Harris Bloody Fingerprints
“It is the duty of the president to ‘faithfully execute the laws of the United States.’ This does not include chicanery to let illegal aliens enter and remain. The actions of the Biden administration appear to violate 8 USC 1324, which makes it a crime to aid and abet illegal entry or to help an illegal alien remain. The law further provides that if such aiding and abetting results in death, the death penalty may apply to the abetter. Mr. Mayorkas et al. may need a good criminal defense lawyer.” —Minnesota
“Zelensky is addicted to monetary enrichment via U.S. ‘aid.’ Of course, he has had great models of self-enrichment, including Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, the Clintons, and 99% of other Democrats who have amassed net worths far greater then when they entered ‘public service.’” —North Carolina
“Democrats should have just boycotted the speech. They will suffer for years from the optics of sitting on their hands, destined to appear in countless videos before the 2026 midterm elections.” —California
“Democrat strategists say their current strategy is to sit quiet and let Trump stew in his own administrative failures. If ever there was an example of ‘sitting quiet,’ it was the Democrat side of the aisle during Trump’s speech about a litany of successful initiatives thus far!” —Massachusetts
Re: All We Really Needed Was a New President
“It’s great we are turning illegal aliens away. It’s great we have deported tens of thousands, but that’s far short of what’s needed. We’re still doomed. It’s like the Titanic pumping out only a few hundred gallons of the millions that are sinking it. Sorry to be all Debbie Downer about it, but I think that’s the reality.” —Oklahoma
“It seems to be the same song by Democrats — try to take credit for anything that goes right and blame the Republicans when Democrats are at fault for anything. That has not changed over the years. Yet they are unwilling to do anything for our Republic that might keep us from spending excessively. We all know why. They are laundering money better than a dry cleaning business.” —Illinois
“‘The Department of Veterans Affairs is discussing cutting as many as 80,000 of its 480,000 workers.’ As a disabled veteran, I wonder who/what will be cut. Will it be the ‘outsourcing’ of the appointment mechanism that too often makes appointments without consulting the veteran/patient? Will it improve the ‘appointment-mileage-payment’ that seldom even happens (I’m still waiting on two such ‘checks’)? Will it improve patient-doctor after-appointment communication? I have yet to receive the results from three exams/consultations. Why are they ‘classified’? The phone reps state they have no access to the records, so it seems that I, as the patient, have no ‘need-to-know.’” —Texas
Re: Leftists’ Latest Protest — An Economic Blackout
“I believe there is a precedent for Elon Musk and DOGE. During WWII, there was a group of successful businessmen that went to Washington. ‘Dollar-a-year-men’ were business executives who worked for the U.S. government during WWII in exchange for a token salary of $1 per year. They helped the government manage industries and mobilize the war effort. Elon Musk and his team are assisting the Trump administration in eliminating fraud, waste, and corruption in the federal bureaucracy. What a lot of pundits and commentators won’t admit, but that is publicly known, is that Musk can only advise the president on what they have uncovered and recommend corrective action.” —California
Re: Bullet Pointing Trump’s Remarkable Speech and Accomplishments
“What has happened to the soul of the Democrat Party? It hasn’t had original ideas in almost a century, and many of the members have gone off the deep end with their loony notions, as last Tuesday’s clown show demonstrated. (Our new congressman, a Democrat, is just a goofball, but give him a few more weeks!). Actually, the assassination of President Kennedy was the beginning of the end for the traditional Democrats. The radicals hijacked the party in the mid ‘60s and now have an iron grip on it. It is tragic to see it turn from the party of the little guy to the party of the super rich. Worse still, the legacy media have turned a blind eye to this transformation. Can the Democrats be saved? Only time will tell.” —New York
Re: The ABCs of Shrinking Legacy Media
“Remember when the editorial page was one page and not the entire newspaper? Remember when Cronkite or Reasoner did a three-minute editorial after 27 minutes of news? Apparently, the MSM doesn’t. I haven’t watched mainstream media for years, and I can get the New York Times crossword puzzle without buying the paper. I wonder if the dinosaurs had the same sense of foreboding as the MSM?” —New Hampshire
“I remember in grade school learning about adverbs and adjectives. What was interesting is that we were being taught what those are for and how they are used. It caused me to learn to listen for adverbs and adjectives. I have never been a fan of mainstream media, even Walter Cronkite. The difference today is that they all assume they are right and everyone else is wrong, even to the point of interrupting and screaming. The louder a voice gets, the less I hear. If you have no manners, why should I waste my time? Truth is, if you won’t consider any other point of view, it’s pointless to engage in a conversation, so listening is fruitless. I have grown too old to be lectured by someone who has no life experience.” —Wisconsin
Re: The Right Turns on Amy Coney Barrett
“As someone who really thought that Barrett was a good choice, I do feel betrayed by her siding with the liberal side of the Court. What makes it even more frustrating is the fact that unless she resigns or does something so egregious that it gets her somehow removed, she is there for life. She and Roberts seem to be birds of a feather who have worked against conservative principals too many times.” —Texas
“Just because some Republicans don’t agree with Coney Barrett’s position doesn’t mean it’s wrong. She’s the Supreme Court justice, not they. If all the Court justices were picked by a Democrat and one of them came to a decision that the conservatives liked, would they complain? Supreme Court judges are not supposed to be yes-men. They are supposed to go by the law.” —Colorado
Re: Profiles of Valor: The 442nd Infantry Regiment
“It is an amazing inspiration to read these Profiles of Valor. As a combat Veteran, I thank The Patriot Post for keeping their examples of service and sacrifice on behalf of our great nation in front of us.” —Vermont
