The BIG Lie

“The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one.” —Bill Gates regarding Elon Musk

Double Standards

“Think I’m going to be sitting on a waiting line at United waiting while 30,000 people are waiting? That’s the only way you can get around. No apologies for that.” —socialist Sen. Bernie “Breadlines” Sanders on using private luxury jets to commute to his “Fighting the Oligarchy” rallies

Sexism Bait

“I wasn’t surprised [by November’s election result]. … [Kamala Harris is] qualified to be president of the United States of America, but I wasn’t surprised because they went … the sexist route.” —Joe Biden

Non Sequitur

“Guess what? The majority sometimes is wrong. That also happens, right? Because the majority used to believe that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was somebody who was a threat, that [sic] somebody who was not a good American. The majority of people used to be against civil rights. Were they right? No, they weren’t.” —The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill regarding overwhelming majority support for integrity in women’s sports

Non Compos Mentis

“I wanna play a game. It’s called ‘Trump or Trans.’ Your ready? ‘Cause I'mma ask a question and I want you tell me whether or not it is Trump or trans people that are responsible. You understand?” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Clown World

“Somebody hung up a flag, posters, stickers. People were scribbling on the walls, dancing on the tables, singing. … Chanting like, I don’t know, 'Free Palestine,’ the classics.” —Columbia student commenting on the recent protestor takeover of the school library

Time to Step In

“It’s deeply concerning to read reports of yet another incident in Loudoun County schools where members of the opposite sex are violating the privacy of students in locker rooms. Even more alarming, the victims of this violation are the ones being investigated. This is beyond belief!” —Gov. Glenn Youngkin

Out of the Mouths of Children

“I’d much rather receive a pelvic exam than risk my life just to play the sport I love.” —California high school athlete Dani Cornette begging her district to keep boys out of girls’ sports

Harsh Truth

“The problem with the Cancel Nothing perspective is that if there is never any social sanction or criticism for bad behavior or terrible opinion, we slide into a world of total moral relativism… The reality of social consequences for ugly behavior and argument is more complex: Sometimes people deserve blowback. Not all blowback is created equal. Criticism is not social ostracization is not firing is not violence.” —Ben Shapiro

Time to Pay the Piper

“Student debt in particular is unique in that it is incurred voluntarily, often with full awareness of the repayment terms. And for many, these loans were used not only for tuition but to subsidize lifestyles that included luxury apartments, spring break trips and the latest consumer electronics. The narrative of the penniless student barely scraping by doesn’t always hold up to scrutiny. We are, in effect, being asked to forgive loans that funded both education and a comfortable standard of living, which many Americans — especially those who chose not to attend college — never had the opportunity to enjoy.” —Armstrong Williams

For the Record

“This is the same FBI that can’t tell us who planted the pipe bomb [on Jan. 6, 2021], who can’t tell us who leaked the Dobbs [Supreme Court] opinion, and who can’t tell us who [hid] cocaine at the White House. We shouldn’t be surprised that they reached the wrong conclusion. They knew what the facts were.” —Rep. Jim Jordan on the FBI conclusion that the attack on members of Congress eight years ago was “suicide by cop” rather than an act of political terrorism

Belly Laugh of the Day

“You were a member of the Senate. You were the chairman of this. You are now the secretary of state and the national security advisor and the acting archivist and the acting USAID director … and the surgeon general. No, I’m kidding, I’m not that. I wanted it … but they had given it away.” —Secretary of State (and a slew of other titles) Marco Rubio
