Leftist Hysteria

“I don’t think Donald Trump wants another election.” —California Gov. Gavin Newsom

Dumb & Dumber

“We have these assault rifles that can reel off 30 clips in conjunction with a magazine before the person needs to reload.” —Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey

“In Minnesota, we have strong gun laws, but Indiana is not that far away from us. And so we have to recognize … the state of Minnesota taking action does not prevent our neighbor from coming and harming one of our community members.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

“This was a madman. … There’s no way to pin an ideology on this. And I think people should remember this as the facts come out about this manifesto. But what I learned from this once again is that guns [are to blame].” —Sen. Amy Klobuchar

Village Idiot

“Trans is not the problem. He had a gun. That’s the problem.” —author Stephen King

Yellow Journalism

“Minneapolis Suspect Knew Her Target, but Motive Is a Mystery.” —a New York Times headline that’s not only disingenuous but also misgenders the shooter

“On social media, some conservative activists have seized on the shooter’s gender identity to broadly portray transgender people as violent or mentally ill. The police did not provide any motive for the attack.” —The New York Times

For the Record

“Trans terrorism is an epidemic. Many of us warned that it would come to this. When you affirm the perverse fantasies of sick and delusional people — and you do it systematically, at scale — you are creating precisely this kind of catastrophe. It was inevitable.” —Matt Walsh

“It’s long past the time for rational adults — I don’t care what your politics are at all — to demand intense criminal investigations opened into the entire trans ‘treatment’ industry. We’ve failed our kids by treating their mental delusions as truth. And we’re creating killers.” —Clay Travis

“Remember that transgenderism itself is a liturgical form of suicide by which a person supposedly comes into being, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, by the destruction of the natural self, who becomes no more than a ‘dead name.’” —Michael Knowles

“It is shocking to me that so many left-wing politicians attack the idea of prayer in response to a tragedy. Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action. We pray because our hearts are broken and we believe that God is listening.” —JD Vance

“I wanna live in a world where Democrats get madder at the people shooting than the people praying.” —Jimmy Failla

Upright

“This is our message to Americans in Democrat-run cities nationwide: Decline is a choice. You don’t have to live in constant fear of being robbed, raped, or murdered. Your leaders are lying to you — and they have been failing you for decades.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Political Futures

“I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms. It has never been done before. STAY TUNED!!!” —Donald Trump

Re: “Journalism”

“The new method of journalism is to wake up, scratch yourself, announce this is what I think and then find someone who agrees with you to cite as an ‘expert.’” —Ann Coulter

Good Questions

“It’s not just that Democrats don’t want immigration police in their cities. It’s not just that they don’t want the National Guard in their cities. They don’t want police, period! So, you have to ask the obvious question: Why do they want their cities overrun by criminals? I think the answer is that they want a demoralized population that will do what they’re told.” —Gary Bauer

“If abortion were truly empowering and gave women so much more ability to decide their path in life clearly, why would so many women face double the risk of psychiatric hospitalization afterward? If abortion were a path to happiness, why would studies show higher rates of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse among women who chose it?” —Samantha Koch

Insight

“Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities because it is the quality that guarantees all others.” —Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
