For the record: “When Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards walked out of her office for the last time Monday, fans gushed that her legacy wouldn’t be forgotten. They’re right — because Richards’s legacy is the brutal slaughter of 3.5 million unborn lives. In her 12 years at the top, Planned Parenthood destroyed a population bigger than Chicago’s — and somehow managed to convince Congress to help.” —Tony Perkins

Dumb and dumber: “Throughout history violence and war only creates more of itself for example WWI -> WWII -> Cold War -> Korean War -> Vietnam and up to today. While nonviolent moments like Gandhi’s, the suffrage movement or Civil Rights movement lead to peace and long-lasting change. Ours will too.” —leftist darling David Hogg with a history lesson on why he thinks guns should be confiscated

Non Compos Mentis: “[Hillary] Clinton is someone deeply enmeshed in the Rule of Law, respect for institutions, a lawyer. And so, given that background, I’m reasonably confident that even if she was unhappy with decisions the FBI made, she would not fire the FBI director as a result.” —James Comey

Predictions: “We will win. I will run for speaker. I feel very confident about [it].” —Nancy Pelosi (Even if that happens, will Democrats support her continued “leadership” role?)

Village idiots: “When you hear about slavery for 400 years — for 400 years?! That sounds like a choice.” —Kanye West

Braying Jenny: “I wouldn’t change a single word. I’m very happy with what I said, and I’m glad I stuck to my guns.” —Michelle Wolf

And last… “Nikolaus Haas, a German physician who had offered to take over Alfie’s care, told the court, ‘Because of our history in Germany, we’ve learned that there are some things you just don’t do with severely handicapped children. A society must be prepared to look after these severely handicapped children and not decide that life support has to be withdrawn against the will of the parents.’ [High Court Justice Anthony] Hayden declared this ‘inflammatory.’ In fact, the comparison is spot on. London survived the Blitz to stop the advance of a regime bent on the eugenic killing of, among others, the handicapped. Now Britain has such a regime anyway, by self-imposed judicial fiat.” —Marc A. Thiessen
