Re: The Pentagon Should Be Buying More Steak, Lobster, and Crab Legs
“Apparently, while our brave congressional representatives are looking for someone to surrender to, they have seen that the troops are eating. They are really sharp.” —Washington
“I served in the military, and I can tell you it is a treat to receive nice items like these. Many soldiers and sailors are subjected to very basic foods that lack flavor. Certain units will have a better DFAC than others, but most of the food is just average. Applebee’s was better than most of the food I had while I was serving. Complaining about the military receiving ‘luxury’ food is the most pathetic attempt to score political points. The military is mistreated by liberals, and it shows. It’s time to treat the U.S. Armed Forces like the top-tier military of the world.” —Colorado
“I would happily buy a military service member a steak, lobster, and crab legs! I would then go to McDonald’s and get myself a hamburger and enjoy my freedom and safety to do that. By the way, that McDonald’s exists in large part because of the freedom and safety maintained by our military.” —Texas
Re: Trump’s Iran Decision Shows Political Courage Few Presidents Have Shown
“After 50 years of asking Iran to be good and stop killing, even with a lot of money and saying ‘Please,’ we finally have a leader who has taken action. I’m pretty certain that war means killing the bad guys until they don’t want to fight anymore. While many lightweight elected officials are looking for someone to surrender to, at least our president has a goal in mind.” —Washington
“Moving our manufacturing to China in order to save money is the act of a foolish businessman. Motivated by poorly planned laws and the false assumption that cheap labor is actually cheap, many companies have lost their intellectual property and independence. Turns out that exporting the goal and practice of freedom is more beneficial than saving a few bucks on a pair of socks. Seems more like a moral failure than an economic plan. It’s an embarrassment for freedom-loving Americans. Teaching China how to attain freedom is a much better investment in peace than is pacification in order to save a dollar. Ask any Tibetan or other subjugated group.” —Washington
Re: When Pro-Islam Ideology Trumps Pro-America Common Sense
“Of course, Ramin Fatehi wants gun control. Not to prevent criminals from committing crimes, but to prevent citizens from fighting back and stopping Islam from taking over our country. How convenient that leftists go along with him. They’d be happy to buy the rope that the Islamists will hang them with.” —Indiana
“Finally, a benefit to our somewhat worthless education system. You can grow up in America; you can get a free education in America; you can be radicalized on the Internet; and you can learn how to make explosive devices on the Internet. Thank God for our teachers, though — they forgot to teach students how to properly read the directions!” —New Jersey
“Democrats willfully organized, planned, funded, and facilitated the invasion of these enemies of our nation, knowing full well the outcome would be detrimental to our nation and our citizens. These same people are guilty of sedition and should be tried by a jury of their peers.” —Indiana
Re: Fox, WSJ, and NYP — Get Out of the NYC Sewer!
“I had no idea all of News Corp’s companies were in one building in Manhattan, and frankly, I am stunned they have not decentralized these businesses. The Wall Street Journal’s coverage goes far beyond Wall Street, and the New York Post is not devoted to New York news.” —New York
“One concern about this exodus is that, while a lot of folks leave for lower taxes, some bring the urban leftist mentality to our red states, and then these hypocrites vote for the same type of thinking that they ran from.” —Montana
“Given that two of the three news platforms (WSJ and NYP) are explicitly tied to New York City, relocating is probably not an option. WSJ exists because it covers the NYC financial markets. That’s even in its name: The Wall Street Journal. The Post exists to be a crosstown rival to the NY Times. They would need staff in New York; however, their publishing operations could be moved to anywhere. Fox could and should relocate.” —California
Re: The FBI Was OOC
“I am hopeful that the FBI will pass its investigations and information to the DOJ, which will then proceed to file indictments, thereby bypassing Congress, whose endless committee hearings are nothing but ineffective drama. That would also give Congress plenty of extra time to debate bills like the SAVE America Act.” —New Hampshire
“There was a time when half a dozen of the president’s men were sent to prison for similar crimes on a far smaller scale, with much less significance for national security. Then, Republican senators advised Republican President Richard Nixon to resign. It was improbable that any of today’s Democrats would have done such a thing for President Biden, and indeed, none did. Integrity is a lost word on the left side of the aisle.” —Minnesota
Re: The Oscar for Clueless Comedian Goes To…
“Their twisted humor, as always, is simpleminded and ignorant. And here, once again, we can all look to the Word of God for His admonishments: ‘How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge?’ (Prov. 1:22). ‘My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil; they know not how to do good’ (Jer. 4:22).” —North Carolina
