The BIG Lie

“We care deeply about accuracy and take seriously the heavy responsibility of being stewards of the public’s trust. What we are not is the opposition.” —MSNBC’s Eugene Daniels at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner

Projection

“Anyone who’s not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn’t deserve to lead.” —Sen. Chris Van Hollen

Letting the Cat Out of the Bag

“I think the message coming from the Democratic Party is a good message. The problem we’ve got, I’ll say, is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver it.” —Rep. James Clyburn

Non Compos Mentis

“Before I describe the details of Russia’s recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon [the European Parliament] to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America.” —former Disinformation Governance Board director Nina Jankowicz

A Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day

“The concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man. … [T]he ordinary meaning of those plain and unambiguous words corresponds with the biological characteristics that make an individual a man or a woman. … Properly understood these further provisions would be unworkable, inconsistent, and incoherent if they bore a [gender identity meaning].” —United Kingdom Supreme Court ruling that the legal definition of “man” and “woman” is based on science and biological sex, not imagined “gender identity”

“I’m still stunned by this. Nike is funding a study that disfigured young boys to understand if they can be physically impaired enough to compete with girls without significant ‘retained male advantage’. Why is a sneaker brand doing medical experiments on children?” —tennis icon Martina Navratilova, a lesbian

Upright

“The Department of Justice will not sit idly by while doctors, motivated by ideology, profits, or both, exploit and mutilate our children. Under my watch, the Department will act decisively to protect our children and hold accountable those who mutilate them under the guise of care.” —Attorney General Pam Bondi

Re: The Left

“In 318 reports in recent weeks, CNN and MSNBC referred to Garcia as a ‘Maryland man’ more than 500 times, while referring to his illegal status only 32 times. The point of this propaganda is to scare you into thinking that you or any other citizen could be the next person to be detained and deported.” —Gary Bauer

“Democrats do not own El Salvador — although they act like it when dictating to its government that El Salvador cannot detain one of its own citizens on its own soil for its own reasons.” —Victor Davis Hanson

“In 1963, the court ruled that reading the Bible in schools, which parents could opt their children out of, was unconstitutional — on the grounds it might unduly influence children. Now, Scripture is banned, but books like ‘What Are Your Words?’ ‘Uncle Bobby’s Wedding,’ and ‘Pride Puppy’ are read to children with no right to opt out.” —Tony Perkins

“It is an exceedingly small favor to ask schools to allow parents to opt out of classes that teach ‘inclusivity’ — a euphemism for a radical cultural agenda. The fact that schools refuse to meet this request only illustrates the radicalism of these institutions.” —David Harsanyi

For the Record

“For more than two decades Putin has won again and again in negotiations with us because he never tells the truth or keeps his word. His word means nothing. But when it comes to Ukraine, the word of the United States is not worth much either. We swore to protect it, but we didn’t — not even from its most obvious threat.” —Michael Reagan

And Last…

“The same political party that arrested a PRESIDENT on made up ‘crimes’ is now feigning outrage about arresting a judge who allegedly committed a felony. The Trump administration just sent a message: if you help illegal immigrants violate federal law, there will be consequences.” —Scott Jennings
