The BIG Lie

“Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Trump has not been convicted of being a rapist.)

For the Record

“Speculation that there is something in the Epstein files and videos that would incriminate Trump falls flat — the Biden/Harris regime’s corrupt DOJ was in possession of all of this information prior to Trump’s election, and if there was anything incriminating, it would most certainly have been ‘leaked’ to undermine Trump’s presidential campaign last year.” —Mark Alexander

“Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are considering resigning from the FBI if Trump does not fire Pam Bondi. Time for her to resign.” —Mark Alexander

“We want justice. That’s what the people telling us to ‘move on’ from the Epstein case don’t understand. We have a deep desire for justice, down in our bones, in our souls. We see how the corrupt and the powerful are never held accountable. We see violent criminals running rampant in our streets. We want these evil doers to be punished. We want the innocent to be vindicated and defended. We want justice. It’s one of the most basic and most honorable of all human desires. So, no, we can’t just drop it. Give us justice.” —Matt Walsh

Cleanup on Aisle 46

“I made every single one of those [clemency decisions]. … The autopen is, you know, is legal. As you know, other presidents used it, including Trump. But the point is that, you know, we’re talking about a whole lot of people.” —Joe Biden

“[Republicans are] liars. They know it. … They’ve done so badly. They’ve lied so consistently about almost everything they’re doing. The best thing they can do is try to change the focus and focus on something else.” —Joe Biden

“I know how vindictive [Trump] is. … So we knew that they’d do what they’re doing now. And my family didn’t do anything wrong. … I just know how he operates. And so I made — but I consciously made all those [pardon] decisions, among others.” —Joe Biden

Pearl-Clutching

“This is not about going after the criminals and the gang members; this is about making America white again and otherizing everybody who is an immigrant.” —"The View" co-host Ana Navarro

“The reality is when [ICE agents] come for one of us, they’re eventually going to come for all of us. We’re seeing people be abducted and sent to dungeons in foreign countries and people disappearing with no accounting for where they’ve gone.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

Upright

“Time to defund any city that obstructs ICE from enforcing the law. Oh, and arrest those Demo mayors…” —Mark Alexander

More to the Story

“Speaking for myself, I am not satisfied. … There were layers of incompetence so severe that it leads me to suspect something more sinister was involved.” —Gary Bauer on the attempted assassination at the Butler rally

And Last…

“In the last decade, we got into the corporatization of American conservatism. It was all about economic growth, GDP numbers. … We are now realigning and saying: No, we actually have a crisis of purpose. God, religion, church, children, community.” —Charlie Kirk
