The BIG Lie

“If the SAVE Trump Act passes, it will be easier to buy an assault rifle than it will be to register to vote. Let that sink in.” —Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI)

Say That Again … Slowly

“[The SAVE Act] allows ICE to kick tens of millions of people off the [voter] rolls.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) (“Well that would mean… they aren’t citizens.” —Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy)

Theater of the Absurd

“Israel made us do it.” —Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) regarding Operation Epic Fury

Credit Where It’s Due

“I would just like to remind everybody watching that every single Democratic presidential candidate always identified that Iran is a top, top security issue. And every single Democrat in the Senate and in the House, you know, says we can never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb. And Kamala Harris, when she was running just back in ‘24, she identified Iran as her top, top international concern.” —Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA)

“Well, they should kill him, too.” —John Fetterman with regard to new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei

Re: The Left

“We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise, yet, if you read the Failing New York Times, you would incorrectly think that we are not winning.” —President Donald Trump

“If Democrats cannot effectively challenge the strategic rationale behind confronting Iran, they can instead highlight bureaucratic details that sound dramatic when stripped of context. The result is a media cycle focused on crab legs and lobster tails rather than the geopolitical stakes of the conflict itself.” —Gregory Lyakhov

“If you hate Donald Trump more than you hate the Iranian regime you’re what’s wrong with America.” —Marc Thiessen

For the Record

“There were students that were in that room that subdued him and rendered him no longer alive. I don’t know how else to say it, but they basically were able to terminate the threat. He was not shot.” —FBI Special Agent in Charge Dominique Evans on the jihadist who attacked an ROTC class at Old Dominion University

“Two Islamic terrorist attacks in one day. Four in three weeks. I’m starting to think that maybe — just maybe — we’ve made a mistake importing this ideology into our country.” —Allie Beth Stuckey

Insight

“It’s not Islamophobia to notice that a man who wants to globalize the intifada is about to run America’s largest and once greatest city. It’s not Islamophobia to notice that Muslims want to import values into the West that seek to destabalize our civilization. It’s cultural suicide to stay silent.” —the late Charlie Kirk, June 25, 2025

Political Futures

“Even if you take the Democrats at their word — even if illegal aliens voting is very rare — then why don’t we ban it anyway? It’s not that complicated. … The Democrats say 'This never happens’ or ‘It happens only very rarely’ on the one hand, and on the other hand, ‘We must not stop it.’” —Vice President JD Vance

And Last…

“People in America work hard for their living, and they don’t want to be lectured to by people who live in mansions and drive Rolls-Royces.” —KISS legend Gene Simmons on Hollywood lecturing Americans
