Circling the Nazi Wagons

“[Graham Platner] had an ugly period in his life and he believes that he is transformed. … I do believe that people have to extend grace to folks who own up to past mistakes and say they’ve transformed and that they’re better.” —Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA)

Non Compos Mentis

“For too many transgender Chicagoans, the sense of belonging they deserve in their city has been denied by exclusion and barriers to opportunity in spaces that should feel safe and welcoming. Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans.” —Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson

Leftist Programming

“On Father’s Day, the New York Times decided to promote a cartoon of a woman cosplaying as a father. And they did it for a reason. Because the cultural left knows that the first step to conquering the future is brainwashing the minds of our children — and they’ve realized that strong fathers are the biggest obstacle to that goal.” —Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX)

“If you wanted America to crumble, you’d spend decades undermining what made this country great. Look around. Teachers and professors now tell students that America is systemically racist. … This garbage wouldn’t have lasted long in the marketplace of ideas, but it’s thrived in government-funded educational institutions.” —Victor Joecks

Demagogue

“I firmly believe that ICE should be abolished.” —NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani

For the Record

“Cultures aren’t fungible. Simply placing someone in America doesn’t make them an American. … Some immigrants want America’s money, but not America’s values.” —Victor Joecks

Re: the Left

“Go back to January 2001, and … 90% of Republicans and 85% of Democrats said they were extremely or very proud to be American. By 2026, the Republican number hadn’t budged. The Democratic number had collapsed to 29%.” —Matt Margolis

“You have people that hate Donald Trump so much that they would go out and destroy our national monuments, vandalize the Lincoln Memorial, vandalize the grass. That’s how broken-brained they are.” —Scott Jennings

“I do not understand why land acknowledgement has become a rite among the Left. If you feel so strongly or guilty, then don’t build on it! Buy the land and donate it to the descendants of those tribes.” —Gary Bauer

“Nothing will refute the accusation that broadcast network late-night talk shows are an increasingly outdated, heavily left-wing, increasingly unfunny, tired format of television entertainment more than… (checks notes) Jimmy Kimmel selecting Rosie O'Donnell as one of his guest hosts when he takes two months off.” —Jim Geraghty

Re: the Iran MOU

“Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble.” —President Donald Trump

“President Trump is right: Iran needs to restrain its terrorist proxy, the U.S. should never restrain Israel from defending itself. And if Iran won’t act, we should back Israel to the hilt.” —Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)

Upright

“AI can become an extraordinary research assistant. It must never become our spiritual authority. … We are not biological accidents awaiting technological improvement. We are men and women created in God’s image for His glory.” —Robert Maginnis

“A nation that forgets its story loses its identity. And when a people lose their identity, they become fragmented. … As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we have an opportunity not merely to commemorate our history but to recover it. We can rediscover the biblical foundations that shaped our nation and strengthen [our] shared identity.” —Tony Perkins

And Last…

“The reactions of the athletes and fans from other countries who have traveled to and through the U.S. to compete and to cheer on their favorite teams have been nothing short of astounding. … This World Cup is, quite frankly, the best thing to happen to international relations in decades.” —Laura Hollis
