From the Loony Left
“The potential danger of AI is probably greater than nuclear weapons.” —Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders

“Medicare for All is not about what it takes away. It’s about what it offers, even if you’re privately insured right now.” —Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed with an ObamaCare-esque falsehood

“The deranged depravity of Donald Trump has delivered more degradation to this country than any other person in our history has come close to delivering.” —MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell

“None of the 12 actors who took home awards at [Monday] night’s Emmys were people of color, renewing discussion about diversity in Hollywood and reminding some viewers of the 2021 ceremony, which resulted in the #emmyssowhite hashtag going viral.” —The Washington Post

“Israelis still largely view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7.” —The New York Times

For the Record
“The anti-AI movement makes all the same mistakes as the anti-fossil fuel movement. They deny the huge benefits of something and totally exaggerate the hazards and ignore all the ways we have of solving them.” —Alex Epstein

“Across the country, a chilling shift is occurring. Political violence has become a twisted form of virtue signaling. Mahatma Gandhi is out and Luigi Mangione is in. For an increasing number of young people, nothing signals your values like a willingness to kill others for them.” —Jonathan Turley

From the Reasonable Right
“AI: More dangerous than nukes, but still less dangerous than socialism.” —Nick Freitas

“It’s always the same apocalyptic crowd moving from one issue to the next. Responsible guardrails are one thing, but handicapping American innovation while China speeds ahead with zero regulation isn’t sound policy — it’s just foolish.” —Scott Jennings

“For decades, Al Gore has been predicting that the world was going to end. In 1992, he told us that ‘up to 60 percent of the present population of Florida may have to be relocated’ because of rising sea levels. The Sunshine State’s population has doubled since then.” —Gary Bauer

“The Marxist message is one of ‘free,’ but it is imperative to understand that free does not equal freedom. ... Marxists want economic enslavement, not individual empowerment. ... Marxists want you to believe that you are an irredeemable victim with no possibility of being a victor.” —Allen West

“If you’re shocked by the dismissed domestic violence allegation against the lone juror, just wait till you hear what Lindsay Clancy did.” —Michael Knowles

“‘Common sense versus crazy’ is a polite way to define the midterm elections when ‘civilized versus barbarism’ is more fitting. America is at a critical crossroads for the type of future in store beyond issues of affordability, groceries and gas prices due to global conflicts. The biggest issue on the ballot in November is for voters to decide what profit is there if one gains the whole world and our country loses its soul.” —Star Parker

“A healthy political philosophy must account for three things: biological reality, human agency, and the existence of God. Any philosophy will go bad if it doesn’t fully account for all three.” —Joel Berry

Belly Laugh of the Day
“In his latest attempt to entice voters to turn out for the November midterm elections, President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he was promising to bring back $5 footlongs if Republicans retained control of both houses of Congress.” —The Babylon Bee
