The BIG Lie

“Donald Trump and Elon Musk are putting your Social Security checks at risk.” —Senator Elizabeth Warren

Dezinformatsiya

“[DOGE’s work] is an effort to destroy the government so that it’s easier for oligarchs and the Heritage Foundation to do whatever they wish.” —New York Times’s Mara Gay

Leftist Lunacy

“The fact that I’m rooting for Canada and I’m rooting for Mexico a lot is really wild. But they are really the ones that are speaking truth to power right now.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett

Word Salad

“When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken, but also let’s see it, you know, nature abhors a vacuum.” —Kamala Harris

Re: The Left

“Democrats should ask: Who is truly slow-witted? Is it the stumbling Tom Hanks caricature [on SNL] or the real Joe Biden and his ilk?” —Victor Davis Hanson¹

Damned if You Do…

“The Biden administration launched a massive multi-year lawsuit against SpaceX for not hiring asylum seekers, despite the fact that SpaceX is legally BARRED from hiring non-permanent residents under ITAR, because rockets are an advanced weapons technology. In other words, it was both illegal to hire asylum seekers and illegal not to hire asylum seekers!!” —Elon Musk

For the Record

“Many people who have gotten everything wrong about Russia say they know what Russia wants. Many people who know the media reports fake garbage take anonymously sourced reports on a complex negotiation as gospel truth.” —JD Vance

“This departure from post-Berlin Wall universalist liberalism has been a long time in the making, and Vance’s incisive rebuke of European elites powerfully drove home the point. For the foreseeable future, U.S.-Europe relations will not be the same — and that is a good thing.” —Josh Hammer²

And Last

“The American people expect every city and state to fully honor ICE detainer requests … and to ensure the safe transfer of criminal aliens into federal custody for immediate removal from our country.” —Donald Trump
