Delusions of Grandeur

“If Donald Trump wants to debate me … I’d be happy to do it. And we’ll see who’s intellectually superior.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) bizarrely suggesting that President Trump would want to debate him

Non Compos Mentis

“Brian Thompson, as the United Healthcare CEO, was engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder. … Because of the pervasive pain that the private healthcare system had created for the average American, I saw so many people immediately understand why this death had taken place.” —leftist political pundit Hasan Piker

Braying Jennies

“Sometimes I feel like they’re trying to kill us.” —"The View" cohost Joy Behar regarding the Trump administration

“Trump only seems to have the capability to fire female secretaries. … If you’re a man in the Trump administration, it seems that they reward misconduct.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

Political Futures

“AOC has done nothing meaningful in Congress. She’s done it all on social media. And she’s one of your leading names in who’s going to be president? … She’s an 80-20 loser all day long.” —political pundit Chris Cuomo

“What’s happening in Virginia should serve as a warning to the rest of the country. Democrats gained power and the first thing they did was invest all their political capital into disenfranchising the conservative voters of their state. This is what the Democrat machine will do to all Americans if given the chance.” —Marty O'Donnell

“The [Democrat] party creates alternate realities that demand changing the system itself rather than working within it to appeal to the American voter. Living with daily delusions and shrieking at Trump demons raging in their collective heads is no way to run a country.” —Victor Davis Hanson

“No one could inflict the kinds of cruelty that our politicians do unless they despised their constituents. … The excuse, casually tossed out, is that both Democrats and establishment Republicans hate President Donald Trump. That’s bunk. The consequences of these policies and these decisions will be felt long after Trump has left the White House. It’s us they hate.” —Laura Hollis

For the Record

“The money doesn’t lie. … The SPLC engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, funded the very hate groups they claim to oppose, and then hid their operations from the public through shell companies and fake entities.” —FBI Director Kash Patel

“Democratic California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer … said that requiring truck drivers to be able to read English is ‘racial profiling.’ Other examples of racial profiling? Air traffic controllers, U.S. military, astronauts, baseball umpires…” —law professor Jonathan Turley

Upright

“It is disgusting that someone can sneak into this country, have a baby, and then they become a paperwork American. … Ban birthright citizenship. … Being an American is more than a piece of paper.” —Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL)

And Last…

“America is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed." —Christian apologist G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
