Friendly Fire

“He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country. He had said that he would not run again. … I think it was a terrible miscalculation on the part of President Biden.” —Hillary Clinton

Non Sequitur

“This is very much like watching the Berlin Wall coming down. It is a sign that mankind, that humankind can stand up against tyranny.” —former CNN hack Jim Acosta on the Kennedy Center removing Trump from the name

Re: the Left

“This, to me, is one of the most stunning divides that we have seen. … Just 27% of Democrats say they will, in fact, display the flag on July 4th. … A polarization, a split that, simply put, did not exist a generation ago.” —CNN’s Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten

“Democrats take great offense at accusations of being unpatriotic, but the data don’t lie. … Democrats were less proud of the country than Republicans when Barack Obama and Joe Biden were president.” —Rich Lowry

“For 10 years they’ve been calling me a Nazi, and now they have a Nazi running. … I don’t think they can call [me that] anymore.” —President Donald Trump

Re: the Iran deal

“They’ll work closely with us to turn over the so-called ‘enriched material’ that’s very deep in the bowels of the earth. … Technical discussions on the removal of all stockpiles of enriched materials will begin immediately. … And unlike Barack Hussein Obama, who sent Iran pallets of cash, any relief they receive under this deal they’ll have to get based on merit — and it won’t be from us.” —Donald Trump

“In reality, it doesn’t even matter what is in this deal. … Why? Because every possible point of agreement hinges on the utterly worthless word of Iran, a country that has demonstrated nothing but its untrustworthiness for decades.” —Ian Haworth

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“If the goal of the war was to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and if the U.S. attack of June 21, 2025, either obliterated or substantially damaged Iran’s nuclear facilities, and if additional targeted bombing could have finished the job of destroying those facilities, why was it necessary for the U.S., along with ally Israel, to go to full-scale war against Iran at the end of February 2026, targeting a broad range of targets, assassinating the country’s supreme leader as well as other key figures and setting off further war and an economic debacle that may or may not be resolved by the current peace negotiations? Why not just destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities, keeping the option to strike again if, or when, Iran made progress reconstituting them? It’s a question President Donald Trump and top administration officials have never fully answered.” —Byron York

Setting the Record Straight

“Do we know that during the last administration, we had tens of thousands of children who were sex trafficked by the cartels? … Unless you enforce the border, you invite that kind of conduct. … It’s inhumane to allow cartels to sex traffic people across our border.” —Vice President JD Vance delivering a smackdown to the ladies of “The View”

A Warning for Today’s Crop of Democrat Socialists

“We’re not the richest and most powerful country in the world because the most brilliant and talented people live here. We’re the richest and most powerful country in the world because it’s here that ordinary people like us have had more opportunity and more freedom than any people who have ever lived. And we’ve been able to do extraordinary things. But you take away that freedom and that opportunity … and the system doesn’t work very well. And it’s a system that has to be constantly defended.” —economist and former Texas Senator Phil Gramm

And Last…

“Nihilism and anarchy in America have one source — the Left. You will see nihilists and anarchists anywhere there is political violence.” —Gary Bauer
