The BIG Lies
“They’re trying to get the algae out. This thing never had algae before!” —"The View" cohost Whoopi Goldberg on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool
“The people who pick up your garbage, the people who take the fire out at your house — all of these things are democratic socialism.” —"The View" cohost Joy Behar
Race Bait
“[Republicans] want to erase the word ‘black’ in their attack on DEI. They want to erase the word and they want to erase black people.” —Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley
Village Idiot
“It was embarrassing. I was embarrassed to be an American.” —actor Larry David on the UFC fight at the White House
Jihadis Among Us
“I know that we all deserve a representative who isn’t bought by AIPAC. … Inshallah, if we make it to Congress … we’re reflecting [Islam] in the halls of power.” —New York congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier
Political Futures
“Darializa Chevalier lost the Bronx part of the district by 30 points. She also lost predominantly Black and Hispanic areas, and she lost lower income areas by 10 points. She won with young voters and higher income voters, and won majority college educated areas by 20 points.” —Batya Ungar-Sargon summing up the young leftist elites who are electing socialists
“The Democrat Party, the socialists, the Marxists have nominated some of the most radical candidates to ever run for office… The insurgent Left is on the rise.” —House Speaker Mike Johnson
“The red wave took over New York City … but not Republican red. It was the Che Guevara insurgency: all three candidates Zohran Mamdani endorsed won their primaries. It was a sea of crazy, and an event where the Democratic establishment needs to think hard about what to do next, because, at this point, their people are slated for demolition.” —Matt Vespa
“A bunch of candidates who literally despise America won in NYC. Establishment Dems, who live in fear of their radicalized base, will cave to them. By 2028, people who hate the country and wish to destroy it could be in charge.” —Ben Shapiro
“The nation will have a real contrast in November between a party that hates America and a party that represents America. One blames 9/11 on America and the Jews. The other consists of those who proudly fly American flags and love their country.” —Erick Erickson

“If you are one of the ‘I didn’t leave the left, the left, left me’ types…what you’re admitting is that you never figured out the logical next step of the worldview you helped perpetuate. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad you caught on, but you need to recognize you were duped.” —Nick Freitas
“You have to ask yourself, honestly, what do these American Marxists have to offer our nation? Open borders? Increased taxation? More dismembered unborn babies? More drag queen story hours? More sexualization of our children and mutilation of their bodies? More weaponization of the government against the American people? … More violations of our Constitution, such as gun control and the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC)? More American weakness in our defense, national security, and foreign policy? More crime on our streets? More embracing of Islamists and jihadists?” —Allen West
Belly Laugh of the Day
“Three losses in one night is tough. We wanted so-called ‘Leader’ Jeffries to know our thoughts are with him, his candidates, and whatever remains of his influence in the Democrat Party.” —National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Mike Marinella, whose group sent flowers and a condolence card to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s office
