Race Bait

“We chose a felon because we didn’t want to elect a black woman. … We would rather destroy the Republic than for that to have happened.” —Princeton professor and MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude

Braying Jenny

“We done pickin’ cotton. We are. You can’t pay us enough to find a plantation.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett explaining that blacks no longer pick cotton so (illegal) immigrants have to

Double Standards

“Looks like Judge Boasberg is defying the Supreme Court. If I were at DOJ, I’d immediately file a writ of mandamus with either the appellate court or the Supreme Court to force him to immediately comply. Funny how he’s a stickler about his oral order to the Trump administration but blows off the Supreme Court.” —Mark Levin

Giving Away the Game

“I find it extraordinary that anyone, especially my Democratic colleagues, can be opposed to election integrity. That’s like being opposed to children, or prosperity, or golden retrievers.” —Sen. John Kennedy

Good Questions

“Please make the argument that the real losers are the recent economies of India, China, or Mexico, which supposedly foolishly tax imports and yet demand tariff-free exports, all to run up surpluses. Are they suicidal and we, the masters of trade deficits, the real geniuses?” —Victor Davis Hanson

“If it was wrong for Trump to level reciprocal tariffs, was it right for others to initiate asymmetrical tariffs on us?” —Victor Davis Hanson

Observations

“China is an ambitious and powerful global rival. Tariffs on Chinese goods will raise prices in America. But it’s worth that pain to force companies to move their businesses out of China, which will weaken its economy. Tariff policy can and should incentivize companies to shift investments from China to U.S. allies, like Taiwan and Japan.” —Victor Joecks

“It’s not clear that imposing high tariffs on exports will effectively trigger a rebirth of our own manufacturing capacity, but imagine a World War III in which the production of weapons, ships, computers, vehicles, etc. all depended on suddenly unavailable imports of manufactured goods from our adversaries.” —Jack DeVine

Re: The Left

“The latest boogeyman is Elon Musk. Within my short memory, Musk was hailed as a hero for developing Tesla which was going to save the planet. If you wanted to send a virtue signal, you bought one. Now, if you want to send a virtue signal, you get rid of one, or other virtue signalers will vandalize, even destroy the cars and attack Tesla dealerships.” —Cal Thomas

“Prestigious journals scold Trump for upsetting the established world order. But what if that established order is sure to work to our disadvantage at some point?” —Jack DeVine

“Trump’s critics aren’t afraid he will fail: They’re afraid that he’ll succeed.” —Glenn Harlan Reynolds

Upright

“If you don’t define yourself, a narcissist will do it for you.” —Jordan Peterson

And Last…

“PRO TIP: if your party is mad that SCOTUS let Trump deport violent street gangs you’re NOT the good guys.” —Jimmy Failla
