Race Bait

Projection

“We haven’t had one hearing on white supremacy. … This is the same party that wants to drag us back to the Jim Crow era.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)

Non Compos Mentis

“[I’ll] turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking. (It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles which will probably be most of the Zionists).” —Texas congressional candidate Maureen Galindo (D)

Dishonor in Defeat

“I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent and concede, and it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.” —ousted Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) (“Rather than exit with dignity, Massie just proved President Trump was right to send him into early retirement.” —Scott Jennings)

Annals of the “Social Justice” Caliphate

Cleanup on Aisle 46

“It’s not former President Joe Biden’s fault that the Taliban are the Taliban, but it is absolutely Joe Biden’s fault that he decided to capitulate in Afghanistan, withdrawing American forces in the form of the most incompetent and pathetic military withdrawal in modern memory, and allowing the Taliban to come out of their literal caves and seize back control. … We had an obligation to the people of Afghanistan to not abandon them to the human embodiments of absolute evil that they now find themselves beneath.” —Ian Haworth

Upright

“If I do my job right, the value to society and civilization from my for-profit companies will be much, much larger than the good that I do with my charitable giving.

Thank you.’ … Amazon creates tremendous value.” —Jeff Bezos

Belly Laugh of the Day

“I want to give a shout out, of course, to the person I am replacing today, Karoline Leavitt, who hopefully is at home enjoying some time with her beautiful kids. I told Karoline I would stand in for her today for the White House press briefing on the condition that when Usha has our baby in July that she would be vice president for a couple of weeks.” —Vice President JD Vance
