The BIG Lie I

“By the way, not one person ever in my office has ever used the word ‘Latinx.’” —California Governor Gavin Newsom

“But there was a person who used ‘Latinx.’ It was actually a really important person. It was him¹.” —CNN’s Erin Burnett

The BIG Lie II

“It’s simple. They’re going after the Department of Education to take money from your kids’ schools to give tax breaks to billionaires.” —Chasten Buttigieg

Re: The Left

“They’re for cutting waste and fraud in government — until you cut waste and fraud. They’re for stopping the war in Ukraine — until you try to stop the war. They’re for a strong border — until you close the border they left open. Who are they? The professional Trump Haters, of course. … It used to be a joke that ‘If Trump cured cancer, Democrats would defend cancer.’ But that joke has basically come true.” —Michael Reagan²

“What many leftist activists describe as ‘free speech’ ends up looking more like a license for engaging in criminal disruption and property damage.” —Thomas Gallatin³

“‘What did you do today to make the world a better place?’ ‘I set fire to an electric vehicle’. It’s exactly as stupid as it sounds” —Konstantin Kisin

“Very soon someone is going to be killed for driving a Tesla. We are rapidly heading in that direction and everyone knows it. And the Left will celebrate when it happens. Pure evil.” —Matt Walsh

For the Record

“Both the right and left have become, in part, infected with antisemitism. The antisemitic mind virus is the canary in the coal mine for civilizations. … History shows us, again and again, an antisemitism that is left to fester ends badly for everyone — not just the Jews.” —Erick Erickson⁴

Sobering Statistic

“Perhaps most astonishingly, not a single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker (at least 24, and probably closer to 30, younger millennials have been published in total).” —Jacob Savage

Air Supremacy

“Air dominance is not a birthright, but it’s become synonymous with American air power. But air dominance needs to be earned every single day. … And with this F-47 as the crown jewel in the next-generation air dominance family of systems, we’re going to be able to keep that promise well into the future.” —Air Force Chief of Staff David Allvin on its newly announced 6th-generation fighter jet

Is That a Promise?

“I don’t own a Tesla, but if we could afford it, I would purchase an entire fleet for our publishing company!” —Mark Alexander
