Warmonger at the Helm

“If Europe suddenly wants to fight us and starts the war, we’re ready right now.” —Russian President Vladimir Putin

You’ll Own Nothing and Be Happy

“Why you may not want lower prices as much as you think you do.” —Washington Post headline

Belly Laugh of the Day

“I actually think that the mainstream news still does a very good job of just presenting facts.” —Barack Obama

Who Wants to Tell Them?

“Democrats want to lower healthcare costs for families. We want to make healthcare cheaper, more effective, more accessible. … Republicans, meanwhile, are a total mess when it comes to healthcare.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)

“Time has run out on Republican inaction. They have done nothing over the last 60 days but stumble, fumble, and bumble as it relates to addressing the healthcare crisis that they’ve created.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

For the Record

“They want Pete Hegseth prosecuted for war crimes because he’s defending the homeland from narco terrorists but didn’t even call on anyone in the Biden admin to resign when they droned eight innocent Afghani children.” —Greg Price

“We’ve been told for decades the US military must go everywhere and do the impossible all over the world. But the red line for permanent Washington is using the military to destroy narco terrorists in our own hemisphere.” —Vice President JD Vance

Shot/Chaser

“Don’t blame the entire Somali community for the deeds of some bad actors.” —Minnesota Star Tribune headline

Re: The Left

“Is it too much to ask that immigrants love America and its system of government? That’s a question that President Trump has been asking, with an especially high level of vitriol, in the wake of the horrific shooting of members of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., the day before Thanksgiving.” —Rich Lowry

“It speaks to how depraved the Democrat Party has become that they are more angry at President Trump for deploying the National Guard … than they are at the foreign national terrorist from Afghanistan.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

“There is a direct connection to the constant demonization of our men and women in uniform and in law enforcement and the assassination of one National Guardsman and the grievous wounding of another who is clinging to life by a thread.” —Gary Bauer

“Critical race theory proponents lump people into groups based on their skin tone. They claim that black people are the victims, while white people are the oppressors. Yes, their worldview requires believing that the woman who was set on fire [in Chicago] was the oppressor. It’s easier to ignore this story than explain that absurdity.” —Victor Joecks

Makes You Think

“You can get a plumber to your house in the middle of the night within an hour. But if you go to the ER, you could wait six hours. Why? The federal government never tried to make plumbing affordable and accessible.” —Bert Kellerman
