A Trip Down Memory Lane

“Let’s admit the truth. Everywhere people go, they’re asked for a Social Security card. In fact, one way to prove you’re a bona fide person who can have a job is to ask for a driver’s license and a Social Security card. This is an anti-fraud amendment.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in 1996 regarding the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act

The BIG Lie

“For 50 years, the religious Right, a political movement — that is the perfect description for it — they convinced a lot of our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage. Two issues that aren’t mentioned in the Bible. Two issues that Jesus never talked about.” —Senate candidate James Talarico (D-TX), who falsely claims to be a devout Christian

Spin Doctor

“Ted Cruz calling a dyslexic person illiterate is a new low, even for him.” —California Gov. Gavin Newsom after Senator Cruz called him “historically illiterate,” which has nothing to do with dyslexia

Here in the Real World

“Rent’s due, mortgage is due, and all these bills are due at the beginning of the month. And so that’s when it really hits home.” —TSA employee in Utah on the effects of the Democrat shutdown

Double Standards

“For years, the media ignored or ridiculed anyone who said mass migration was straining resources — from Springfield, Ohio to border towns. They even attacked Texas for trying to build a border wall. Now they’re worried about detention centers overwhelming towns in red states?” —Lydia Moynihan

Political Futures

“[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] is to strategic thinkers what Gayle King is to astronauts. She projects all the authority of an International Relations 101 student who didn’t realize that there was going to be a pop quiz before spring break.” —Rich Lowry

“This is a woman with some political talents and political gifts. It’s just that knowledge doesn’t seem to be one of them.” —journalist Brit Hume on AOC

“The dirty little secret about politics and politicians is that if they solve a problem, they no longer have an issue to run on. Keeping their place in office with all its perks has become the primary objective of too many members.” —Cal Thomas

Re: The Left

“Whether the scene is Minneapolis today or Seattle six years ago, what’s happening in America’s cities is not just a revolt against law enforcement — it’s an attempt to establish different laws, different borders and a different kind of government, not through anything like a democratic electoral process but by directly seizing power in the streets.” —Daniel McCarthy
