Hindsight Is 2028

“These guys are crushing us. The Democratic brand is toxic right now. … It’s one thing to make noise but you also have to make sense.” —California Governor and presidential aspirant Gavin Newsom

Re: The Left

“You had Tim Walz, who’s a huge jerk, running around on stage with the Tesla stock price, overjoyed. What an evil thing to do. What a creep. What a jerk.” —Elon Musk

“Instead of helping DOGE, the Democrat response is to scare the daylights out of the elderly by lying to them. In the process, the left is exposing yet again their lack of character and moral compass.” —Gary Bauer

For the Record

“For those who need a reminder: the outrage is what Biden did to our border. We’re cleaning up this mess, just as justice requires.” —JD Vance

Upright

“All combat roles are open to men and women BUT they must all meet the same, high standard. No standards will be lowered AND all combat roles will only have sex-neutral standards. Common sense.” —Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

“Countries that have energy abundance also have unlimited economic potential. Taking advantage of our energy resources means a more energized, more productive, and more successful society.” —Secretary of Energy Chris Wright

And Last…

“THOUGHT: If you’re an actual Nazi, you can now drive around with swastikas on your Tesla and people will just assume it got vandalized.” —Glenn Reynolds
