Re: Profile of Valor: A Marine’s Marine — Lewis ‘Chesty’ Puller

“As a 22-year-old Navcad in Pensacola, FL, in September 1966, the trainee battalions were run by Marine Captains. The ‘education and instruction’ was led by Marine D.I.‘s., the most ferocious of which was Sargent Montemeyer, a Native American. If we did not know about it before, we knew who Chesty Puller was about one week after Montemayor got a hold of us. As a Naval Aviator, I will be forever grateful for the USMC discipline!” —Massachusetts

“Thank you Patriots! It never fails when I open my daily email. I find analysis that rises above the MSM ubiquity. I always find inspiration and humor, mostly in your outstanding memes and cartoons. As a Marine fighter pilot, this is the most comprehensive profile of Chesty Puller I have read. And thank you for mentioning Lewis Jr., a longtime friend. Semper Fi!” —California

“As a former Marine aviator in F-18s, Chesty Puller was my hero from the day I first read about him. And this Profile of Valor is one of the best I have ever come across. He was indeed a military leader whose service, as Alexander noted, 'stood in stark contrast to the Pentagon brass tapped by the recently departed Biden/Harris regime.’ There is nary a flag officer today whom I truly respect, and many of them are my contemporaries. The last Marine Corps general officer who earned my unconditional respect was General Peter Pace. Semper Fi!” —South Carolina

“For my fellow Marines, you will most certainly recall this marching cadence call: ‘Chesty Puller was a fine Marine, and a fine Marine was he.’” —New York

Re: The Bragg and Benning Rebrands

“I think this analysis of the base name shenanigans is spot on. But on the big picture of DOGE and downsizing, the problem Trump faces is in its scale. In a company, a layoff of a few employees in one department doesn’t shake up the company, but when it moves to a second department, and especially YOUR department, it’s a catastrophe. Large-scale movements of former government employees into the civilian workforce competing for jobs will create resentment across the board. Even though many support closing some agencies, once their family member gets laid off, buyer’s remorse in some will follow.” —Nevada

Re: The Political Swatting Surge

“When people call in to accuse another person of criminal activity worthy of sending multiple armed men to a house, do they even try to ID and locate the caller? We NEVER hear of the arrest of the instigator. It seems like it would be a good idea to spread the news that a ‘prankster’ is going to jail for several years for attempted murder. The callers never seem to face any consequences.” —Nevada

Re: Greenpeace’s Ecoterrorism Gets Checked

“Richard Walther Darre, the originator of the ‘Blood & Soil’ program of the Third Reich, could be considered as the father of modern environmental extremism. He might have been proud of Greenpeace and may even have given them uniforms!” —Massachusetts

Re: Biden’s 57 Varieties of Censorship

“As it turns out, the Biden administration spent the last four years undermining the First Amendment at every turn.”

“And to think that the Democrats invariably accused Donald Trump of being the greatest threat to democracy, when in fact it was the Biden administration that threatened our democracy with its affront to free speech through widespread censorship. Joe Biden was and is hypocritical and insidious. The lying Democrats continue to be the greatest threat to our democratic republic and warrant constant attention.” —Florida

Re: Strange Anti-Semitism on the Right

“One thing that has pleased me greatly in recent years is the overwhelming (but not total, as Gallatin points out) rejection of anti-Semitism by the Right. Much of that is due to President Trump’s strong stand against it, both here and in his unwavering support for Israel. Case in point: Candace Owens, after her famous dustup with Ben Shapiro, is practically a nonentity today. Hardly anyone pays attention to her anymore. Tucker Carlson, unfortunately, seems to have left his critical journalistic edge at Fox News, as evidenced by his not challenging bizarre theorists like Darryl Cooper. Thank you, Mr. Gallatin, for pointing this out. (I don’t watch Carlson anymore). Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” —Arizona

“I used to be a fan of both Owens and Carlson. However as they became more popular, I found some of their ‘just asking questions’ repulsive and I stopped listening to them. Both got ‘too big for their britches.’” —Alaska

Re: Gen Z and Gen Alpha Aren’t Happy

“An important article by Emmy. However, overprotection was in full swing by the time Xers broke their first windows. ‘Everybody gets a trophy’ was begun for them. So was talent show lip-synching. The assault on teachers by parents — outraged not because they worried about what was being taught but because their little darlings were being called out for bad behavior — was first on their behalf. The protocol of neighbors disciplining misbehaving neighborhood children ended in the 1960s. Overprotection was started by the Boomers (more appropriately, the Cowardly Generation), who bought the nonsense of lunatics such as Dr. Spock, Tom Hayden and Stokely Carmichael as gospel. (I’m a Boomer and I was there to see it happen.)” —Florida

Re: More Democrat Caving in Maine and at Columbia

“WHY are we giving tax dollars to colleges and universities that have endowments worth trillions? Instead of withholding tax dollars, how about we start taxing these institutions that seem to want to flaunt their positions that run counter to the rest of the country and get them to do what they are paid to do: teach courses that benefit society.” —Illinois

Re: Tuesday: Below the Fold

“The Tesla bomb attempt in Austin, Texas, comes as little surprise in the city known in the rest of the state as Babylon on the Colorado. They try to keep the leftist infection confined to the usual demonstrations, but sometimes it gets out of hand.” —Kentucky
