“I am resigning from NPR. … I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cite in my Free Press essay.” —Uri Berliner

“NPR has hired a left-wing activist who openly endorses censoring, deplatforming, and punching political opponents. She considers the First Amendment the ‘number one challenge’ to controlling ‘bad information.’ The American people should not be paying for this.” —Christopher F. Rufo

“NPR has become a hard left propaganda machine that tolerates no dissent.” —Elon Musk

The BIG Lies

“I have never minimized the challenge that the southern border presents.” —DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

“We’ve had the most successful economy of any major economy in the world so far. … I’ve been able to cut the federal deficit at the same exact time.” —Joe Biden

“I’ve already been delivering real results in a fiscally responsible way.” —Joe Biden

“I hope you’re all able to make $400,000. I never did.” —Joe Biden

Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes

“The president has no impairment.” —Attorney General Merrick Garland

Delusions of Grandeur

“Joe Biden gets up every day fighting for the American people. He does what I call the hard work of governing well all the time. … He focuses on bringing people together.” —Biden campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu

Can’t Fix Stupid

“A standalone [bill] would … actually not help Israel and Ukraine. It would actually delay … the needed aid that they obviously need to fight.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

Belly Laugh of the Day

“DA [Alvin] Bragg will treat this [Trump] case with the respect that the justice system deserves. … He will not politicize this.” —Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY)

For the Record

“One-word warnings are not a believable foreign policy. Joe Biden has given Iran billions of dollars, and he thinks ‘Don’t’ is going to send a tough message? That’s ludicrous, insulting, and dangerous.” —Gary Bauer

“Most people boasting about the gleaming economy are inside the Washington bubble or nested inside college faculty lounges. … When nearly two of three Americans say things aren’t going well for their personal financial situation, the ‘don’t worry, be happy’ bromide isn’t the response most voters are looking for.” —Stephen Moore

“Our current oppressive tax system can be analogized to Dracula, who is never satisfied with the blood he sucks out of one victim, but must constantly look for new sources to bite. We must drive a stake in the blood-sucking government’s heart, or we will end up driving one in ourselves.” —Cal Thomas

Re: The Left

“This has been the modus operandi of every left-wing group everywhere: Claim concern for some group, and use that group to fool people — specifically, naive liberals, who share few values with the Left but have frequently served as useful idiots for the Left. Liberals do so to this day.” —Dennis Prager

“DEI, typified by the deluge of corporate ‘diversity’ commercials that flooded the airwaves in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death and the expansion of DEI departments across academia, was only ever meant to help white liberals cling to their cultural power.” —Washington Examiner contributor Peter Laffin

And Last…

“The pro-Hamas side is literally chanting ‘Death to America’ — in America. If Biden believes his reelection chances rest on getting votes from that crowd, he should run for office in the Gaza Strip, not the United States.” —Victor Joecks
