The BIG Lies

“Twenty-five years ago today, Matthew Shepard lost his life to a brutal act of anti-gay hate and violence simply for being himself.” —Joe Biden

“A quarter-century ago today, the merciless torture and murder of Wyoming college student Matthew Shepard — simply because he was gay — shocked and horrified so many across our nation.” —Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

Lack of Self-Awareness Awards

“You all should need to know that America is not sending their best and brightest to Washington, DC.” —Senator John Fetterman (D-PA)

“Sometimes you literally just can’t believe, like, you know, these people are making the decisions that are, you know, determining the, the government here. It’s actually scary.” —John Fetterman

Hot Air

“It is a false choice to say that we either care about reducing the climate crisis or the economy. We can do both and we’re proving we can.” —Kamala Harris

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Thank God we have the steady leadership of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during this unthinkable time in our history. Their moral compass, their calm and empathy, are what we need in this time of crisis.” —Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff

For the Record

“When Joe Biden says ‘Don’t,’ not one bad guy in the entire world loses a second of sleep. Why would this barely cognizant, weak president, who routinely surrenders to the demands of America’s enemies, command any respect around the world? Even now, after everything we have witnessed over the past [few] days, he still refuses to secure our borders.” —Gary Bauer

“Anti-Zionism, which is so fashionable on our college campuses these days, is anti-Semitism. Israel is the homeland of the Jews. There are dozens of Muslim nations in the world, but there is only one Jewish nation. And for radical Islamic supremacists, that’s one too many.” —Gary Bauer

“The jihadists of Hamas (backed by the jihadists of Iran and the Hezbollah jihadists under Iran’s command on Israel’s Lebanese border) seek to achieve this objective not by the rules of Western warfare but by the Islamic scriptural command to terrorize their enemies. They are not ‘militants’ playing by Western rules. If you don’t unstintingly refer to them as jihadists, you will never understand why and how they fight. And you will never understand why crushing them, not accommodating them, is the only solution.” —Andrew McCarthy
