I understand that the author is under contract and has to present a column for publication on a schedule, but copying almost a whole piece from another source is just cheating.

If you aren’t ready to write, Matt Vespa, go back to school and learn to be an HVAC tech or something useful.

The dems cry “Wolf” and are surprised at the response. No one takes them serious.

Commissar Schiff is behaving in the sordid manner of the Soviet communists he so greatly admires. The failure to definitively punish those responsible for communist crimes and atrocities has inspired vermin like Schiff. Schiff, Kerry, Pelosi, Brennan, Obama and the rest ultimately think that they will never be held accountable for their crimes.

The American taxpayer should not pay for these investigations, the so-called lawmakers participating in this farce should pay out of their own pocket. Why? Because the entire House did not vote on it and what these fools are doing is tantamount to treason.

If not cheating, it is at least a waste of my time. Nothing new was presented here.

I agree with you, good money can be made in HVAC and in his case he will be making people comfortable rather than annoyed.

It’s one thing to not be a good writer, and something else to not even try to produce your own work.

I don’t have any problem with it.

If author #2 has written a stellar piece, then use it.

Why reinvent the wheel?

I believe the entire whistle blower act is part of the Democrat fraud. It legalizes their coup.

Student #1 has written an A+ term paper. Why should Student #2 reinvent the wheel?

Maybe because Student #2 isn’t trying to inform the American people?

To inform the American people that stealing another person’s work is a-okay?

“.... good money can be made in HVAC and in his case he will be making people comfortable rather than annoyed.....”
Agreed. I did it for years, had my own HVAC company and sold it to one of my younger techs when I retired. Made a very good living from it, but it takes a strong mathematical, analytical background and understanding of technical issues and reasoning. And it can usually be a hot, nasty, sweaty, dirty job requiring some degree of “hands-on” skills such as soldering, etc. One doesn’t see to many SJW types and/or libs in that line of business.
We’d try to hire a couple of young folks as summer help each year....most of em didn’t last a single day in the field. Instead, we ended up hiring HVAC trade school students as summer help. A few of those would make it through the summer, but a lot of em soon quit and changed their career paths.

This article is poorly written to boot.

Stupid question, but what would happen in no Republican Committee Members showed up to the Witch Trial?

I’m sure the Rats would have used that strategy if the shoe was on the other foot.

Are you for real?

The author gave Katie Pavlich proper credit for her article.

Would you accuse those that post entire articles here of ‘stealing?’

Come on, T-c. I know you are better than that.

*raspberry* Neener neener.

It is called referencing i.e. referring to another piece as viable to bring the reader into the picture and inform them

I see no issue if the initial author is given credit for creation of the piece as in a footnote or other means

If we follow what you say then noting where say something in the Bible or other work is relevant you have an issue with it

Seeking to understand your base premise

People who post articles on FR are doing it for discussion purposes, not as the major part of their own, for-pay, published piece.

Maybe Townhall has changed to a kibbitzing site and I missed it.
