The Gipper: “Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too strong.”

For the record: “It’s becoming increasingly clear that Republicans have not repealed Obamacare because a lot of Republicans do not want to repeal Obamacare.” —Byron York

A blind squirrel finds a nut: “Berkeley used to be the cradle of free speech and now it’s just the cradle for … babies. They invite someone to speak whose not exactly what liberals want to hear and they want to shutter it. This is the liberals’ version of book burning. And it’s got to stop.” —Bill Maher

Non Compos Mentis: “[If] rampant Islamophobia continue[s], there will come a day when we must ask all women to wear a headscarf — all of them! — out of solidarity towards those who do it for religious reasons.” —Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen

Braying Jenny: “It is absolutely unbelievable that he could be the leader of the greatest nation in the world and we cannot allow him to stay in that position.” —Maxine Waters (Just remember, she has “not called for his impeachment.”)

Honest evaluation: “I think a lot of the people [who] came out and voted in Pennsylvania, where I’m from, were pro-lifers.

And last… “If there was a march to stop useless marches, I wouldn’t march at it because it wouldn’t accomplish anything.” —Frank Fleming
