Dumb & Dumber

“I know many of you in the Muslim American community or the Arab American community, the Palestinian American community, and so many others are outraged and hurting, saying to yourselves ‘Here we go again’ with Islamophobia and distrust we saw after 9/11.” —Joe Biden

“I cautioned the government of Israel not to be blinded by rage.” —Joe Biden (“Jews all over the world should feel rage against the terrorists who killed more Jews in one day than any time since the Holocaust!” —Gary Bauer)

The BIG Lies

“J.D. Vance has no moral compass. He’s somebody who has sold out his own constituents in pursuit of a cult of personality on behalf of Donald Trump.” —Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D-MA)

“Accountability is a stalking horse for Republicans to try to avoid taking a vote that might anger their Trump base. The funds going to Ukraine have rigorous accountability.” —Jake Auchincloss

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Jim Jordan is a clear and present danger to our democracy.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

Lack of Self-Awareness

“25 members publicly opposed Jim Jordan and over 100 opposed him privately. Sad so many are willing to hide behind an anonymous vote rather than own it to their constituents.” —Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC), who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy

“The most popular Republican in Congress was just knifed in an an anonymous vote in a secret closed door meeting in the basement of the Capitol.” —Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy

For the Record

“If Republicans can’t choose a leader of their own party, only a fool would trust them to lead the country out of the deadly swamp Biden and the Democrats have led us into.” —Michael Reagan

“H.L. Mencken famously said that ‘democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.’ In Gaza, Hamas was popularly elected and remains overwhelmingly popular.” —Josh Hammer

Re: The Left

“In the eyes of the ‘enlightened’ world, every Jewish death must be closely scrutinized and ‘journalistic ethics’ demands we ‘just ask questions,’ but every claim of Arab death put forth by terrorist-run ‘health ministries’ must be immediately accepted as undisputed truth.” —Josh Hammer

“Postmodern Marxist theorists view the whole world through power dynamics. There are two classes: the oppressor and the oppressed. Because most Israelis are lighter-skinned and many Israeli families once lived in Europe, the postmodernists view them as colonizers and, therefore, oppressors. The Palestinians are viewed as oppressed people who have been colonized. … The Left, because of their views on power, cannot recognize evil when they view it.” —Erick Erickson

“While some portray the issue of crime as complex, it’s really quite simple: Democrats enable crime and demoralize police, which results in more crime, which in turn demoralizes police. It’s no wonder cities struggle to recruit cops.” —Brian Mark Weber

And Last…

“It is so easy to be wrong — and to persist in being wrong — when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.” —Thomas Sowell
