From the Reasonable Right
“I hope that they prosecute this to the fullest… There are only a few people who actually know exactly what’s going down, and that’s by design. So, if somebody leaked it, it was somebody involved in the process, and that scares the hell out of me.” —Lt. Col. Robert Patterson, who carried the nuclear football for Bill Clinton, on the leaked information about Donald Trump’s aircraft switch in Turkey

“Our beautiful World War II Memorial was just hit by Spray Painting Vandals. THERE CAN BE NO GREATER INSULT TO THOSE AMERICAN HEROES WHO DIED IN WORLD WAR II. … Where do these animals come from???” —President Donald Trump

“We’ve taken 26,000 vehicles out of service because the drivers don’t speak English. We’ve taken 30,000 drivers off the roads because their licenses were illegally issued.” —Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy

“ICE is enforcing the laws that Congress is going out there complaining about. We’re simply enforcing the laws that Congress passed. If Congress doesn’t like it, then they have the ability to change it.” —DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin

“The DSA wants a new constitution that eliminates the presidency, the Supreme Court and the Senate. It supports universal suffrage for noncitizens and felons. Is that crazy? And what kind of crazy awaits us when Woke 2 gets its hands on state power? Someone should ask Ocasio-Cortez.” —David Harsanyi

“America is undergoing a human ‘locust effect,’ and it threatens our fertile ground of liberty, freedom, and individual rights. … Locust swarms have brought about famine as they consume and destroy the fertile agriculture of the lands they invade and infest. Just the same, the locusts of Marxism/Islamism have wrought destruction upon the fertile ideals of individual liberty and freedom. … Let us all commit to not being victims of the locust effect, but recognize it, gird ourselves, become our very own pesticide, and turn back the Marxist/Islamist swarm.” —Allen West

“One thing I will never do is move to rural Maine and live in a house in the woods. There’s something bad in those woods.” —Joel Berry

From the Loony Left
“I don’t comment on my private life.” —New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after live-streaming injecting herself with hormones in order to freeze her eggs

“Everyone was so pissed off that I pulled kids out of school. … We were doing what we thought was the right thing to do at the time.” —Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer

“I think the way you are describing [Hasan Piker], you could have been talking about Donald Trump, honestly. Cozies up to dictators, says extreme things.” —former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio

“The man charged with killing Charlie Kirk shouldn’t get the death penalty because the shooter ‘hit the intended target’ and no one else was endangered when the conservative activist was shot from a rooftop at an event in Utah last year, his lawyers said.” —Associated Press

“We’re in the middle of a trans genocide, and we have to do anything that we can to stop it.” —actress Margaret Cho

Credit Where It’s Due
“I’m not a racist. I’m a culturalist. I believe some cultures are superior to others. For example, I prefer cultures that do not encourage wife beating, paedophilia, clitorectomies, stoning and constant inflation of the male ego. I am also aware of the difference between Islamoscepticism and Islamophobia. Notice that hate does not come into this. Only moral preferences.” —actor John Cleese
