Non Compos Mentis

From the Gender-Confusion Files

“When you come in and you say, ‘Oh, these are men competing against women,’ you’re assuming that the women are weak.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg

“Once upon a time we taught Civics in High School, not gender identity, critical race theory, and cultural marxism.” —Allen West

“[Last] week, the department my father tried to kill in its infancy 45 years ago laid off about 2,000 Education Department employees. … The unnecessary department Jimmy Carter created in 1979 has flunked out. It deserves to die and make my dad’s dream come true — 40 years too late.” —Michael Reagan

And Last…

“Crooked Joe Biden got us into a real mess with Russia and everything else he did, frankly. But he didn’t know about it and he, generally speaking, signed it with autopen. So how would he know?” —Donald Trump
