Re: The Pros and Cons of RFK at HHS
“Cliche: The difference between medicine and poison is the dosage. All medicines have risks, and while effective and safe for the majority, they can have serious side effects for a small minority. Almost all meds are not ‘natural’ — i.e., produced in our body. But just as we consume food to obtain necessary vitamins and iron, native populations ate certain tree barks that contained something similar to Tylenol to relieve pain, and English Victorians ate the plant foxglove, which has digitalis, to strengthen their hearts. I hope the administrative and academic branches of U.S. medicine, which failed us so badly with COVID, can regain an honest and loud voice to direct RFK’s enthusiasm for a healthier U.S.” —New Hampshire
“When I heard the news of RFK’s appointment, I had some concerns, though he has been involved in some litigation that gave him access to information the rest of us are not given. In the bureaucracy of the HHS, he will have to pick his battles. If just some of the highlights of his concerns can be addressed, perhaps we will be better off. I am not a fan of RFK’s politics, but if he can root out some of the rot and graft of the agencies, there is a chance that we can live longer. My 95-year-old aunt says eating from the family farm is why she has lived so long without drugs of any kind. When someone has a different perspective, it is easy to throw stones; but walk a mile in their shoes, and maybe your perspective can change.” —Wisconsin
“RFK is a better pick than a crossdressing man any day! He has been studying health for some time, and we have a problem in the United States with children coming down with all kinds of weird health issues. Autism is at a high level.” —Illinois
“My son worked on several yachts and traveled extensively through Europe. They use the European food standards instead of the American ones because they are much more stringent. Also, my wife found that our FDA allows food manufacturers to leave any chemical off of the ingredients if it is less than 500 mg. So, what is going into our food?” —Texas
Re: Gaetz Is the Ultimate Disruptor
“‘Garland Out, Gaetz In,’ as the image asserts? Not so fast. Alexander’s condemnation of the Gaetz AG nomination by Trump now seems prophetic given that a day later, there are reports that the victim alleging the assault by Gaetz when she was a minor spent two days testifying before the Republican House Ethics Committee. And two more witnesses have corroborated her story. Furthermore, Gaetz’s ‘party’ friend has already pleaded guilty to sex charges. Gaetz’s resignation just two days before the House report was scheduled to be released speaks volumes about what is in the report. If he isn’t guilty, he should call for the release of this report. Of course, there were numerous other charges being investigated. As Alexander noted, ‘If Gaetz had an ounce of humility, he would have withdrawn his name from consideration.’ Gaetz has NO humility.” —Pennsylvania
“Trump’s choice of Gaetz may be applauded by his most loyal base, but they don’t tolerate any criticism of Trump. The nomination of Gaetz is a gross error by Trump and, amid all his good nominations, an insult.” —California
Re: The Eagerly Anticipated Department of Government Efficiency
“Start with welfare fraud. Let’s make sure that welfare recipients are getting it for assistance and not just getting it for a vote. It’s OUR MONEY that goes into a lot of pockets of able-bodied men and women who have learned how to game the system. And while we’re at it, let’s look at the disability game, too.” —Illinois
Re: The Demos’ Widening Voter Disconnect and Divide
“I project that the next two years of the Trump/Vance administration are going to be a good layup for those midterms Alexander mentioned. California has added a lot of red to our election map this year. Hopefully Trump has learned a lot in the last eight years and can avoid some of the self-destructive decisions he made last time around.” —California
“The old Marxist trick is to blameshift to others your own demonstrable malfeasance. They practice, as Alexander has often written, the BIG LIE.” —Massachusetts
“Very insightful analysis. Dems would be wise to print it out and tape it to their bathroom mirror so that each day, they can take stock of the mess they made of America and how their arrogant and elitist perspective has lost them the presidency.” —West Virginia
“Patriot Post team, thank you for all that you do for us deplorable, garbage Americans out in flyover country. Your clear and concise analysis is a much-needed touchstone with reality.” —Alabama
Re: Obama Got Trounced in the 2024 Election
“Other than an occasional belch from Jimmy Carter, I don’t recall an ex-president that refused to fade into the shadows like Obama has. If it weren’t for Hillary, Bill Clinton would be out of sight and silent. For the most part, all other ex-presidents from Truman to Bush didn’t continuously burden us with their unsolicited opinions and sermons. Barack, please go away. The game is over. Your behavior is undignified for a former president. America needs to be unburdened from a has-been.” —New Hampshire
Re: Let’s Thank Libs for Their Election Meltdown
“Since I rarely watch stuff like this on social media, when I do see it, it really makes me laugh. That there are so many people who are so conceited that they think their childishly insane rants matter to anyone is just too precious. They were clearly raised by parents who could always be swayed by a tantrum. I especially enjoy the self-inflicted ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ shtick from these pathetic females to make themselves less attractive to men. Yeah, I think the first time you open your mouth you’ll accomplish that, sweetheart.” —Pennsylvania
Re: The Intolerable Democrat Glitterati
“Hollywood is on its way out, too. People are beginning to think for themselves instead of the imbeciles in the Hollywood swamp and the legacy media telling them what they should think. And Kamala Harris runs very low on intelligence. The American people saw that, too. See what DEI got you, Democrats? People are tired of that crap!” —Texas
“What is it going to take … for this country to ever elect a woman president?” —The 19th News editor-at-large Errin Haines
“Well, it would take running a decent candidate who is both likable and competent. Hillary failed because she’s unlikable. Kamala failed at being either one. In both cases, they are women who — when you examine their records — accomplished very little. Gabbard vs. DeSantis in 2028, anyone? And if Gabbard bests DeSantis, well, she’d get my vote. That’s what it would take.” —Oklahoma
“To start with, it would really help to have an intelligent, competent, moral, principled woman of good character who loves this country and has good leadership skills as a candidate. It would also help if that woman believes in American exceptionalism and reality and is willing to work with those who disagree with her to do what is best for America and its citizens. That hasn’t happened yet.” —Delaware
Re: Stolen Valor: MSG Tim Walz
“Tim Walz is a LIAR and a disgrace to all Americans who have served our country in uniform with honor and integrity. For that matter, he is a disgrace to any American in any walk of life who embraces honor and integrity.” —Arizona
