The BIG Lies
“Let’s be clear: the deal to bring U.S. citizens home from Iran has nothing to do with the horrific attack on Israel.” —State Department spokesman Matthew Miller
“Not a single cent from these funds has been spent, and when it is spent, it can only be spent on things like food and medicine for the Iranian people. These funds have absolutely nothing to do with the horrific attacks today and this is not the time to spread disinformation.” —White House National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson
Keen Sense of the Obvious
“Iran has unfortunately always used and focused its funds on supporting terrorism.” —Secretary of State Antony Blinken
Middle East Policy
“Here we are 78 years after the end of the Holocaust and once again thuggish killers dressed in black are pulling Jewish elderly, women, and children out of their homes and executing them, and then throwing their bodies into the street. But in 1945 we were fighting the SS murderers, now we are sending millions in subsidies to their modern Hamas killer squad counterparts. We the American people should demand not one more American cent to these Gestapo and SS killers.” —Victor Davis Hanson
“It is not Israel’s responsibility to supply electricity to the region that butchered its people. This seems fairly obvious.” —Erielle Davidson
Re: The Left
“Force yourself to look at the videos of what Hamas did over the weekend. LOOK. This is what moral equivalence brings. Rape of women. Kidnapping of children. Murder of hundreds of innocents, including full families.” —Ben Shapiro
“Much has been made about how the Nazis used media and education to set the conditions for the genocide of Jewry. Take a look around. People are in the streets celebrating the greatest mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. Our media and schools have helped pave the way.” —Sean Durns
Reeducation Camp
“Sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. … At some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.” —Hillary Clinton
Gaslighting
“I think the American people are smart as hell. I think they know they are better off financially than they were before. It’s a fact.” —Joe Biden on Bidenomics
Student Loan Heist
“This is an impeachable offense. Why? Because Biden lost the case in the Supreme Court, which ruled he does not have the constitutional authority to make unilateral spending decisions like this. It’s called separation of powers. Congress was granted the sole power over borrowing, spending, and taxes. A president cannot seize this power from Congress. But that’s exactly what Biden is doing.” —Mark Levin on Biden’s latest student loan forgiveness
Food for Thought
“You love your kids, and for their sake, you want to save America from the wreckage of postmodern liberalism. But what does a generation of children look like as adults after coming of age watching their father figures delight in the humiliation of their enemies? And what is life like in a society ruled by men who hold up hatred as a virtue?” —Nick Russo
For the Record
“We shouldn’t get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be. They can’t. A man is a man and a woman is a woman — that’s just common sense.” —British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
“Just so we’re keeping score: The Biden DOJ is suing SpaceX for not hiring refugees, the DOJ and SEC are investigating Tesla, the EEOC is also suing Tesla, the FTC demanded @elonmusk hand over internal Twitter comms and the SEC is now investigating Elon’s purchase of Twitter.” —Greg Price
Political Futures
“The House GOP doesn’t have a speaker because it doesn’t have a mission. And without a mission, it’s only a matter of time until every session falls apart into self-serving drama. Either the House GOP will find its mission or it will continue to waste time that America doesn’t have. Either Republicans will find their mission or they will lose.” —Daniel Greenfield
