“There is so much misinformation, disinformation. … It’s not true, right? The president wasn’t wandering.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre
“We want to make sure … that our border is secure.” —Karine Jean-Pierre
Gaslighting
“The patience and goodwill of the American people is being tested by their fears at the border. They don’t understand a lot of it.” —Joe Biden
With Friends Like These…
“[Benjamin Netanyahu] should not be addressing Congress. He is a war criminal. And he certainly has no regard for US law, which is explicitly designed to prevent US weapons from facilitating human rights abuses. His invitation should be revoked. It should’ve never been sent in the 1st place.” —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
For the Record
“If you happened to walk in the Capitol on Jan 6, you might get 10 years in prison. But if you’re responsible for funding research that led to a pandemic and killed 15 million people, and then you lied about it to Congress, then nothing happens to you.” —Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)
“Donald Trump was recently convicted on 34 felony counts for a nondisclosure agreement that a rankly partisan judge and jury said was incorrectly entered as a legal expense. Thus, Trump is now a convicted felon due to an improperly located bookkeeping entry, while Biden has for years led an international influence-peddling crime family and now enjoys zero accountability. And [Merrick] Garland seems somehow mystified by the outrage.” —Douglas Andrews
“The Biden-Hur audiotape is the 2024 electoral version of Hunter’s laptop. And Garland’s refusal to cough it up is akin to the FBI’s collusion with Big Tech and Big Media to suppress the laptop story just before the 2020 election. In short: It’s more election interference from a weaponized Department of Justice.” —Douglas Andrews
Political Futures
“On the day when the arrest of an illegal alien who raped a 13 year-old girl was making headlines, Joe Biden announced a new amnesty for at least 500,000 illegal aliens. These people who should not be here will now get work permits, driving down wages. And, if they can get away with it, leftist activists will register them to vote, further corrupting our elections.” —Gary Bauer
“I think we shouldn’t assume that Black Americans are dumb or insensitive or incapable of learning. They’re looking at grocery store prices they can’t afford, and they know it’s Biden’s fault. They’re looking at millions of illegal immigrants coming into their neighborhoods, taking their jobs, threatening their families with violence, and they know Biden is responsible. You turn around, and they know the tools aren’t working, despite all the money we pour into the teachers’ unions, and they know the Democrats are responsible. They look at big cities where … Democrat mayor after Democrat mayor is corrupt, incompetent, and incapable of serving their interests. So what you’re beginning to see is a movement that says … ‘What have we got to lose by trying out Donald Trump?’” —former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
“It’s time for change, and our young voters know it.” —Star Parker
Re: The Left
“Thanks to the internet … it’s becoming increasingly difficult (if not impossible) for the truth to be buried like it was in years past. Now, anyone with an internet connection and a smartphone can shatter the narratives being spewed by those who want to keep us downtrodden. … Today, information travels faster than the gatekeepers can respond, leaving them with one last resort: telling us not to believe our lying eyes.” —Ian Haworth
“Only a tiny fraction of migrants are dangerous criminals, but the migrant-advocacy-industrial complex … insists criminals deserve sanctuary from deportation even after they commit a crime. Blame Biden for allowing ruthless criminals to come across the border. But sanctuary city laws are to blame for the epidemic of crimes by repeat offenders.” —Betsy McCaughey
“A republic elected Trump in 2016. A democracy would’ve elected Hillary Clinton. That’s why leftists break out in hives when anyone uses the word ‘republic.’” —Nate Jackson
And Last…
“People work their whole lives to build savings; politicians steal it through inflation.” —John Stossel
