The BIG Lie I

“Instead of doing anything to help make Americans’ lives better, [Republicans] are focused on attacking me with lies. Instead of doing their job on the urgent work that needs to be done, they are choosing to waste time on this baseless political stunt [impeachment inquiry] that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts.” —President Joe Biden

Circling the Wagons

“The president is not lying about anything … as it relates to what House Republicans are trying to do. It is baseless, it is a political stunt, and … it has not proven that the president has done anything wrong.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“I see a good and decent man in Joe Biden who united the country, and all the evidence has shown that he loved his son. … Joe Biden is just a decent American who fought MAGAism and is seeing them use this against him … in this sick and perverse way.” —Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA)

“Impeachment Inquiry Approved, Despite No Proof of Biden Crime.” —The New York Times

The Bottom Line

“There is no Hunter Biden case without Joe. There is no Biden Inc. without Joe.” —David Harsanyi

The BIG Lie II

“We have to address the situation at our southern border, and I am determined to try to fix the problem. We need funding to strengthen border security, but Republicans in Congress won’t act to help.” —Joe Biden (“Thanks to the Democrats, our Southern border isn’t even a border anymore. It’s become the wide-open front door of America that 10,000 people from a hundred countries want to pass through — every day.” —Michael Reagan)

Grand Delusions

“Just a little more breathing room. That’s what Bidenomics is all about.” —Joe Biden

“The data shows … inflation is moderating. And you see jobs created — more than 14 million jobs. Unemployment is … under 4%. All of those things is … part of Bidenomics.” —Karine Jean-Pierre

“Public safety, post-pandemic, is moving in the right direction. … New York has been restored as the safest big city in the world.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

Non Compos Mentis

“In the Hanukkah story, the Jewish people were forced into hiding. No one thought they would survive.” —Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff (“The holiday doesn’t commemorate Jews in hiding but their victory over oppressors who sought to wipe out their religion. And this is the guy who’s supposedly playing a key role in Team Biden’s fight against antisemitism?” —New York Post)

“[Trump] could invoke powers we’ve never heard a president of the United States invoke — potentially to shut down companies or turn off the internet or deploy the U.S. military on U.S. soil.” —former DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor

For the Record

“I’ve been saying publicly for a year that J6 was not an insurrection but not many people would listen. Ironically so, no one would benefit more than I if J6 was an insurrection as I … was the Commander that ordered and led the evacuations of the Senate and the House during the J6 breach.” —former Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarik Johnson

Insight

“For every one pupil who needs to be guarded against a weak excess of sensibility there are three who need to be awakened from the slumber of cold vulgarity. The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts. The right defence against false sentiments is to inculcate just sentiments. By starving the sensibility of our pupils we only make them easier prey to the propagandist when he comes. For famished nature will be avenged and a hard heart is no infallible protection against a soft head.” —C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

And Last…

“A fatal diagnosis of an unborn child is not a justification for killing them. When the choice is between dismemberment and delivery, you deliver. You show them love and dignity. You give them a funeral. You don’t discard them like medical waste.” —Allie Beth Stuckey
