The BIG Lies

“Joe Biden has never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest in those activities.” —James Biden

“[The student loan bailout] is also helping you who don’t go to college.” —Joe Biden

“As I walk out of meetings, a head of state will find an excuse to come up close … and say, ‘You’ve got to win.’ Not because I’m so special. ‘You’ve got to win because my democracy is at stake if the other guy wins.’ Nine heads of state have done that with me.” —Joe Biden

Pot Calling the Kettle Black

“Time and again, Republicans show they are the party of chaos and division.” —Joe Biden

Grand Delusions

“As demonstrated by our administration’s record over the past three years, there are few leaders as committed to bipartisan collaboration than Joe Biden.” —Kamala Harris

Braying Jenny

“The only blemish on the great country of America worldwide is, in fact, Donald Trump.” —former Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO)

“I move that every newspaper in America quits doing any fact-checks on Joe Biden until they fact-check Donald Trump every morning on the front page. It is ridiculous that The New York Times fact-checked Joe Biden on something.” —Claire McCaskill

More Fake Russian Conspiracy Nonsense

“I don’t know what [Putin] has on [Trump], but I think it’s probably financial.” —Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

Leftmedia Lob

“The thing that unites them as Christian nationalists — not Christians, by the way, because Christian nationalists is very different — is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthly authority. They don’t come from Congress. They don’t come from the Supreme Court. They come from God.” —Politico’s Heidi Przybyla

For the Record

“The political theory of the American Founding is that man is made in God’s image and that we accordingly possess certain rights that no other man or ruler can deny. This is not ‘theocracy.’ It is basic American history — basic historical literacy.” —Josh Hammer

“The ‘Christian nationalism’ hysteria is not a matter of leftists sincerely fearing the advent of a theocracy or having concerns that fundamental freedoms may be lost forever; it is rather a matter of two religious beliefs battling for supremacy over the Western world. One of those religions upholds the slaughter of the unborn, sexual decay, and narcissistic selfishness as its proudest tenets; the other preaches life, love, forgiveness, repentance, self-sacrifice, and salvation.” —S.A. McCarthy

“We are entering a dangerous era in America. Ideology and party affiliations increasingly determine guilt and punishment. Opponents are first targeted, and then laws are twisted and redefined to convict them. The left is waging lawfare with the implicit message to political opponents: either keep quiet or suffer the consequences.” —Victor Davis Hanson

Double Standards

“Anyone who dares to suggest the United States push Ukraine to negotiate a settlement with Russia is framed as a democracy-hating Putin shill. Yet, before we even knew exactly how many Israeli women and children had been murdered, raped and kidnapped by Hamas, Democrats were demanding Israel negotiate with Palestinians to create a potential three-front Iranian-proxy terror state on its border.” —David Harsanyi

Belly Laugh of the Day

“BREAKING: After an impressive interview, Google Gemini has been chosen as the new president of Harvard.” —Charles C. W. Cooke
