Lack of Self-Awareness Award

“For now, I don’t want to go back in the system. I think it’s broken.” —former Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who has never won a primary, on choosing not to run for California governor

Hot Air

“Attacking the science does not change the science. But it does make us less prepared to confront the crisis. Just step outside and feel the heat. Their denial is dangerous and absurd.” —Sen. Adam Schiff

Yellow Journalism

“The Trump administration is flipping language about inclusion and diversity on its head to the advantage of white Americans as a requirement to receive federal grants.” —Axios’s Russell Contreras

Persona Non Grata

“It is total and complete garbage in the mind of the American public.” —CNN’s Harry Enten on the Democrat Party

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Everybody in Washington now seems to be an economist, and some of them just don’t know what they’re talking about. Taking their advice … it’s like taking the advice of a nun about sex.” —Sen. John Kennedy

For the Record

“I want to release everything. I just don’t want people to get hurt. … First of all, the files were run by some very bad and very sick people like Comey and Lisa — the whole group. … They ran those files for four years.” —Donald Trump on the Epstein files

“I totally let Hillary off the hook. … And then I come in and they did the same thing to me. … They hurt a lot of people — a lot of people — and it was all a hoax. … No, I think they should pay a price. … It could be the biggest scandal in the history of our country.” —Donald Trump on Russiagate and Hillary Clinton’s emails

Observations

“It turns out that history never stops moving, that threats never stop militating. And what’s more, a self-obsessed and shallow culture that worries about whether boobs in jeans ads are a return to Hitler makes itself uniquely vulnerable to such threats.” —Ben Shapiro

“With trust in the press collapsing, the press has embarked on the path of internet-assisted suicide. With a common desire to be first, not accurate, the press is continually seeding urban legends only to retract them later.” —Erick Erickson

And Last…

“Nowadays everything is considered ‘Nazi’ by the liberals, except calling for the murder of Jews.” —Eli David
