Non Compos Mentis

“We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence. … The addiction on jails and incarceration in this country — we have moved past that. It is racist, it is immoral, it is unholy, and it is not the way to drive violence down.” —Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson

Straight From the Horse’s Mouth

“When they go low, we don’t go high. We take them to the mud and choke them out.” —Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate

Race Bait

“Any time that we play something from [White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy] Stephen Miller, it would be journalistic integrity to point out that he is a white supremacist and he is the brainchild behind this policy. That’s not my opinion. That’s actual fact.” —former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross

Delusions of Grandeur

“[Kamala Harris] was the most qualified and would have been a fantastic president… We wouldn’t wake up every day to a bunch of [crap] on TV and a bunch of nonsense. We would wake up to an adult with compassion and dignity and vision and leadership.” —Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz

Trump the Socialist?

“Trump sees the Intel deal as a first step toward creating an American ‘sovereign wealth fund,’ with many more investments to follow. … Is it a bad thing to pay for government with market profits rather than by raising taxes on citizens or selling debt that eventually has to be repaid with interest? A nation pays interest on its national debt but earns interest from a sovereign wealth fund.” —Daniel McCarthy

Reality Check

“We can’t accept 600,000 Chinese students. If anything, we should reduce the number of Chinese visas, especially for students with political connections to the CCP.” —Christopher Rufo

“Trump can fire Fed governors or the Fed is unconstitutional. There is no middle ground here. Zero.” —Josh Hammer

“As we have gotten richer — and especially as women’s earnings have risen — the ‘cost’ of having a child in terms of lost income has risen.” —Stephen Moore

“The world was a better place when Britain imposed British notions of justice on Third World nations instead of importing Third World notions into Britain.” —Stephen Green

Re: The Left

“There was a societal understanding that boys and men needed single-sex spaces because boys are different from girls. That understanding is no more. Over the decades, the left attacked male-only institutions as sexist and discriminatory. … This was a major error, especially as millions of boys grow up without their dads.” —Victor Joecks

“Toxic empathy — and one of its consequences, social justice — are the result of misplaced mothering. Many progressive women who don’t have children to love pour their affection into politics, pets, plants & professions. Progressive politics hoists up a victim that liberal women adopt as their imaginary child. That’s why they get so incredibly angry when you argue with them. It’s a perversion of the mama bear instinct.” —Allie Beth Stuckey

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Nobody is more excited about Taylor Swift’s engagement than the CEO of Cracker Barrel.” —Jimmy Failla

And Last…

“Congratulations ‘Cracker Barrel’ on changing your logo back to what it was. All of your fans very much appreciate it. Good luck into the future. Make lots of money and, most importantly, make your customers happy again!” —Donald Trump
