Leftist Hysteria

Non Compos Mentis
“This Africa Day, let us take a moment to celebrate the achievements of the people of Africa … and support them as they continue to overcome and face their challenges head-on.” —Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson celebrating Africa Day on Memorial Day
Braying Jennies
“[Republican are] clearly not worried about starving children.” —Molly Jong-Fast
“I do worry, frankly, about what’s happening in the world right now. It’s important that we remember the 1930s.” —Kamala Harris
Race Bait
“One of the two political parties is — let me put it nicely — white supremacist adjacent, at a minimum.” —disgraced former FBI Director James Comey
Doublespeak
“We take into account what the constitutional court also decided when it said that, you know, that slogan — ‘Kill the Boer, kill the farmer’ — is a liberation chant and slogan. And it’s not meant to be a message that elicits or calls upon anyone to go and be killed. And that is what our court decided.” —South African President Cyril Ramaphosa
Belly Laugh of the Day
“Trump should AUTO PEN an executive order locking up the people who ran the country under Biden.” —Jimmy Failla
Well-Meaning Foolishness
“You will learn as I have that when people say things like ‘Happy Memorial Day,’ you appreciate the sentiment behind it but know that it’s wrong because Memorial Day is not a happy day.” —Vice President and former Marine JD Vance
For the Record
“When America, and America’s campuses, have had more restrictive attitudes toward migration in the past, they have nonetheless competed, and won, at the highest levels — while developing countries, even when their most talented individuals have not been able to migrate, have not risen to America’s levels.” —Daniel McCarthy
“Until President Trump began depriving Harvard and other elite schools of federal grants, these institutions were getting away with effectively being accessories to murder.” —Cal Thomas
Re: The Gender Cult
“For years, corporations cloaked themselves in rainbow branding and forced consumers to accept policies and products pushing the boundaries of LGBTQ ideology. But it didn’t lead to a pot of gold.” —Tony Perkins
Rest in Peace
“I think Phil Robertson was the beginning of a new Jesus movement. He was the first guy that I heard that was brave enough to end every single show on national television with a prayer.” —Glenn Beck
